1 Petro 4
1 Kulwejo, kulwo kubha Kristo anyakile mu mubhili, mbe nimufwale ebhigwato kwo Mwoyo gupta gulya. Omwene anyakile mu mubhili amalile okusigana ne bhibhibhi. Omunu unu atakulamulwa lindi okulama mu namba yo mubhili, nawe mukwenda kwa Nyamuanga, kwo bhulame bhwaye bhunu bhatasigile.
FORASMUCH then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
3 Kulwo kubha omwanya gunu gwatulilewo gweile okukola emisango ja bhanu bha Maanga bhanu abhenda okukola obhumuke, kubha na Mwoyo mubhibhi, obhutamiji, inamba, obhulengelesi bhwe chipagani no kulamiya ebhisusano ebhyo kufululusha.
For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
4 Abheganilisha ati ni bhilugulo ungwa nimwichunda okukola emisango ejo amwi nabho, kwibhyo abhaika amanyamuke ingulu yemwe.
Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
5 Abhasosha okubhala kumwene unu ali bhwangu okulamula bhanu bhali bhaaanga na bhafuye.
Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
6 Kunsonga inu omusango gwo bhwana gunu gwasimuywe ku bhene bhanu bhaliga bhafuye, nolwo ati bhanu bhamalile okulamulwa mu mibhili jebhwe nolwo abhana munu, koleleki bhatule okulama okulubhana na Nyamuanga mu Mwoyo.
For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
7 Kubhutelo bhwe misango jona obhuja. kulwejo, mubhe no bhumenyi bhunu bhukamlikile, na mubhe na Mwoyo gwekisi ingulu ya lisabhwa lyemwe.
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
8 Chichali kumala emisango jona, mbe nimukomelega mu kwenda ku bhuli umwi, kulwo kubha okwenda kutakuyenja kusululwa bhibhibhi ebhya bhandi.
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
9 Nimweleshega obhufula ku bhuli umwi kwitonganila uli.
Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
10 Lwa kutyo bhuli umwi wemwe agabhiywe ebhiyanwa, nimufulubhendanilega kuti bhanu bhanu bhemeleleguyu kisi lwe bhiyanwa ebhindi bhinu ebhisosibhwa kutye-la na Nyamuanga.
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 Bhuli munu akaika, na jibhega kuti ni melesho ga Nyamuanga, no munu akafulubhenda, na jibhega kuti ni bhutulo bhunu ayanilwe na Nyamuanga, koleleki ati bhuli musango Nyamuanga abhega nakusibhwa okulabha ku Yesu Kristo. Likusho no bhuinga bhibhega ku mwene kajanende na kajanende. Amina. (aiōn g165)
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Abhendwa, mwasiga lubhala ingulu yo kusakwa kunu okuja okubhasaka owe chinu chigenyi, nolwo kutyo chiliwo chinu chigenyi chinu chaliga nichibhonekana kwemwe.
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13 Mbe nawe lwa kutyo omugendelela okubhala obhumanyile bhwa jinyako ja Kristo, nimukondelwe, koleleki ati mukondelwe one no kusandabha mu bhusuluko bhwa likusho lyaye.
But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
14 Nolwo kutyo omufumwa ingulu ya lisina Lya Kristo, muna libhando, ku nsonga ya Mwoyo wa likusho na Mwoyo wa Nyamuanga enyanjile kwimwe.
If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
15 Mbe nawe asiga kubhawo wona wona owl kunyasibhwa kuti Mwoyo, mwifi, unu kakola amabhibhi, amwi unu kafulubhenda ne misango ja bhandi.
But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.
16 Mbe nawe alabha omunu kanyasibhwa lwa Kristo, asiga kulola nswalo, nawe amukushe Nyamuanga mwisina elyo.
Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
17 Kulwo kubha omwanya gwakingile ku ndamu okwambila mu nyumba ya Nyamuanga. Alabha ikambila kweswe, mbe ejibha atiki ku bhalya bhanu bhatakugwolobhela omusango gwo bhwana ogwa Nyamuanga?
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18 Mbe alabha, “Omulengelesi kakisibhwa okulabha ku makomee, ejibha atiki ku munu unu atali mulengelesi no we bhibhibhi?
And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19 Kulwejo bhona bhanu abhanyaka okulubhana no kwenda kwa Nyamuanga nibhatule emitima jebhwe ku mumogi omwiikanyibhwa koleleki bhabhe nibhakola eje kisi.
Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
