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 Messiah suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for human desires, but for 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 enough time in the past has been spent doing the will of the unbelievers, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
4 Abheganilisha ati ni bhilugulo ungwa nimwichunda okukola emisango ejo amwi nabho, kwibhyo abhaika amanyamuke ingulu yemwe.
They think it is strange that you do not run with them into the same flood of debauchery, blaspheming:
5 Abhasosha okubhala kumwene unu ali bhwangu okulamula bhanu bhali bhaaanga na bhafuye.
who will give account to him who is ready to judge the living 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 this reason also the Good News was preached to those who are now dead, that they might be judged according to man in the flesh, but might live according to God in the Ruach.
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 near. Therefore be serious and disciplined in your prayers.
8 Chichali kumala emisango jona, mbe nimukomelega mu kwenda ku bhuli umwi, kulwo kubha okwenda kutakuyenja kusululwa bhibhibhi ebhya bhandi.
Above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
9 Nimweleshega obhufula ku bhuli umwi kwitonganila uli.
Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
10 Lwa kutyo bhuli umwi wemwe agabhiywe ebhiyanwa, nimufulubhendanilega kuti bhanu bhanu bhemeleleguyu kisi lwe bhiyanwa ebhindi bhinu ebhisosibhwa kutye-la na Nyamuanga.
As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
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 anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Yeshua the Messiah, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever 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, do not be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to 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 because you are partakers of Messiah's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice 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 you are insulted for the name of Messiah, you are blessed; because the Ruach of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, 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.
For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler.
16 Mbe nawe alabha omunu kanyasibhwa lwa Kristo, asiga kulola nswalo, nawe amukushe Nyamuanga mwisina elyo.
But if as a Messianic, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name.
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 has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins first with us, what will happen to those who do not obey the Good News of God?
18 Mbe alabha, “Omulengelesi kakisibhwa okulabha ku makomee, ejibha atiki ku munu unu atali mulengelesi no we bhibhibhi?
And "If the righteous is delivered with difficulty, where will 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.
Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
