1 Ubiturus 5
1 Uzinu wuza ananu anyimo ashime tize tu dungara, mi sa inzi u henu ushi unanu, unu bezi uzitu uvana Asere, mi unu kem u kalum uni antimo ani nonzo sa abezi.
Therefore, I beg the elders who are among you, as one who is also an elder and a witness of the Passion of Christ, who also shares in that glory which is to be revealed in the future:
2 Barki anime izinu dungara ushi ananu, hira nigo na Asere sa nizi nan sitarsi in we, azo ini kara ba barki sa inyara wuza ani me, barki u wuza Asere, tarsa ni we, azo unu kem imumu gbardang, barki uhen iriba.
pasture the flock of God that is among you, providing for it, not as a requirement, but willingly, in accord with God, and not for the sake of tainted profit, but freely,
3 Kati icukuno anu ahira anu sa wa atari tishime, cukuno ni imumu manza ahira anigome.
not so as to dominate by means of the clerical state, but so as to be formed into a flock from the heart.
4 Uganiya sa adi bezi ugomo utarsa ina nu, udi kabi ni ere ni tigomo nani nonzo ni mazu.
And when the Leader of pastors will have appeared, you shall secure an unfading crown of glory.
5 Ane ani, shi inyani kunna ni tize ta nanu, vat ushi itirzizi mu iriba in kadure, iwuzi ni nonzo na cece, barki Asere ada kunna me urunta unu heze unice ba barki ma wuza ana kadure imumu iriri.
Similarly, young persons, be subject to the elders. And infuse all humility among one another, for God resists the arrogant, but to the humble he gives grace.
And so, be humbled under the powerful hand of God, so that he may exalt you in the time of visitation.
7 Nyani me vat mu riba mu me, barki ma tarsa in shi.
Cast all your cares upon him, for he takes care of you.
8 Wunani shew, icukuno unu rusa, unu iriba ibit nan shi, bibeu bur kasi udaru ukise anija ma zinu kese, unyara ude sa madi ri.
Be sober and vigilant. For your adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion, traveling around and seeking those whom he might devour.
9 Wuza ni ere nan me, i wuzi nikara anyimo akadure kashi me, irusa aroni ishina ishi me sa wa ra anyo unee uzinu tarza ini rer nigino me kasi shime.
Resist him by being strong in faith, being aware that the same passions afflict those who are your brothers in the world.
10 Umara uzito ushi me uganiya cin, Asere unu imumu iriri izatu mara, desa ma titi shi uhana kura ameme anyimo avana Asere, madi maza shi, ma nuki shi, ma kuri ma nyizi shi tize. (aiōnios g166)
But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will himself perfect, confirm, and establish us, after a brief time of suffering. (aiōnios g166)
To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Ma hem in Sila uhenu ukadure mani, makuri ma nyettike shini cin atari tumeme. Izunu gwara ushi in kuri ibuki shi unu guna imumu me sa ma nyettike iriri ya Asere ini ikadure nukina ni anyimo a ini.
I have written briefly, through Sylvanus, whom I consider to be a faithful brother to you, begging and testifying that this is the true grace of God, in which you have been established.
13 Me uneh me sa mara ubabila azauka me na haru, ma iso shi nan Markus vana um, ma iso shi.
The Church which is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you, as does my son, Mark.
14 Isizo ni ace unu gindiro uhem. Imumu utoto iriba ahira ashi vat ushi sa ira anyimo avana Asere.
Greet one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
