1 Bitrus 5
1 Ina yiwa dattawan da ke cikinku gargadi, ni da nike dan'uwanku dattijo, mashaidin shan wuyar Almasihu, ni kuma mai samun rabo ne daga cikin daukakar daza a bayyana.
Therefore I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:
2 Saboda haka na gargade ku dattawa, kuyi kiwon garken Allah dake tare da ku. Ku kula da su, ba a kan dole ba, amma domin kuna son yin haka, bisa ga yin Allah. Ku kula da su, ba don cin ribar banza ba amma sabo da yardar rai.
shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
3 Kada ku zama kamar masu iko akan mutanen dake hannunku, amma ku zama abin koyi ga garken.
not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
4 Sa'adda za a bayyana Sarkin Makiyaya zaku karbi rawanin da darajarsa bata dushewa.
When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
5 Hakannan, ku kuma samari kuyi biyayya ga dattawa. Dukanku kuyi damara da tawali'u, kuna bauta wa juna, domin Allah ya na tsayayya da mai girman kai, amma yana yiwa masu tawali'u alheri.
Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility and subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
6 Saboda haka ku kaskantar da kanku karkashin hannuwan Allah mai iko duka domin ya daukaka ku a madaidecin lokaci.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
7 Ku jibga masa duk taraddadin zuciyarku, domin yana kula da ku.
casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
8 Ku natsu, ku zauna a fadake. Magabcinku, ibilis, kamar zaki mai ruri yana zazzagawa, yana neman wanda zai cinye.
Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
9 Ku yi tsayayyiyar gaba da shi. Ku yi karfi cikin bangaskiyarku. Ku sani fa abokan tarayyarku da suke cikin duniya suna jimrewa da shan wuyan nan irin taku.
Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
10 Bayan shan wuyarku na dan lokaci kadan, Allah mai alheri mara iyaka, wanda ya kiraye ku zuwa ga madawwamiyar daukakarsa cikin Almasihu, zai kammalaku, ya kafa ku, ya kuma karfafa ku. (aiōnios g166)
But may the God of all grace, who called you to his consummate (aiōnios g166) glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
12 Na amince da Sila amintaccen dan'uwa ne, kuma na rubuto maku a takaice ta hannunsa. Ina yi maku gargadi ina kuma shaida maku cewa abin da na rubuto alherin Allah ne na hakika. Ku kafu a cikinsa.
Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.
13 Ita matar da ta ke a Babila zababbiya tare da ku, ta na gaisheku, da Markus, dana, yana gaisheku.
She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
14 Ku gai da juna da sumbar kauna. Salama ta tabbata a gare ku dukanku da ke cikin Almasihu.
Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
