1 Petro 5
1 Enibhelembeleja abhakaluka bhanu bhalimo mwime, anye, unu nili mukaluka wejabho no mubhambasi wa jinyako ja Kristo, noyo ali musangi mwikusho lya bhunu bhwakabhulisibhwe.
The ancients therefore that are among you, I beseech, who am myself also an ancient, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ: as also a partaker of that glory which is to be revealed in time to come:
2 Kulwejo, enibhatamo omwoyo emwe bhakaluka, nimulilebhe liijo lya Nyamuanga linu libhalimo. Nimulilole, atali ati kunsonga kubheile, mbe nawe kunsonga omuligila kutyo, okulubhana na Nyamuanga. Nimulilolele, atali kwo kwenda jimpilya ja jinswalo, mbe nawe kwo kwenda.
Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking care of it, not by constraint, but willingly, according to God: not for filthy lucre’s sake, but voluntarily:
3 Mwasiga kwikola bhakulu ingulu ya bhanu bhanu bhali emwalo yo bhwangalisi bhwemwe, mbe nawe nimubhe chijejekanyo kwiijo.
Neither as lording it over the clergy, but being made a pattern of the flock from the heart.
4 Anu Nyamuanga omukulu alibhonekana, mulilamila olutenga lwa likusho lunu lutakubhusha bhugusi bhwacho.
And when the prince of pastors shall appear, you shall receive a never fading crown of glory.
5 Nko kutyo, nemwe abhasigaji abhatoto, nimubholobhele abhakulu bhemwe. Emwe bhona, nimubhufwale obhwolobhe no kufulubhendelana emwe abhene kwa bhene, kulwo kubha Nyamuanga kabhalema abhe chigundu, mbe nawe kabhayana echigongo bhanu abholobhe.
In like manner, ye young men, be subject to the ancients. And do you all insinuate humility one to another, for God resisteth the proud, but to the humble he giveth grace.
6 Kulwejo mwolobhega emwalo yo kubhoko kwa Nyamuanga kunu kuli kuyali koleleki ati abhenamushe kwo mwanya gwaye.
Be you humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in the time of visitation:
7 Nimumuteleko jinyako jemwe ingulu yaye, kulwo kubha kabhegana.
Casting all your care upon him, for he hath care of you.
8 Mbe nimubhe no bhwenge, nimubhe bhetegelesha. Omusoko wemwe ulya, lishetani, ali lwa Intale inu eibhuta kenu nitebha, niyenda omunu wo kutemula.
Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour.
9 Nimwimelegulu mutasikene nage. Nimubhega na managa mulikilisha lyemwe. Nimumenyega ati abhasu bhanu bhali muchalo bhajibhwene jinyako lwejo.
Whom resist ye, strong in faith: knowing that the same affliction befalls your brethren who are in the world.
10 Mbe kukilawo ejo ejo kunyaka kwo mwanya mutoto, Nyamuanga we chigongo chona, unu abhabhilikiye mwikusho lya kajanende mu Kristo, kabhakumisha, kabhakomesha no kubhakumanya amanaga. (aiōnios g166)
But the God of all grace, who hath called us into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself perfect you, and confirm you, and establish you. (aiōnios g166)
To him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Enimwenda Silwano kuti wasu mwiikanyibhwa, na nibhandikiye emwe mu chifuyi okulabha ku mwene. Enibhatulamo omwoyo na enibhambalila ati chinu jandikilwe ni chigongo che chimali cha Nyamuanga. Nimwimelegulu mu mwene.
By Sylvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I think, I have written briefly: beseeching and testifying that this is the true grace of God, wherein you stand.
13 Abhekilisha bhanu bhali Bhabheli, bhanu bhasolelwe amwi nemwe, abhabhakesha.
The church that is in Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you: and so doth my son Mark.
14 Nimukeshanyega bhuli umwi kwo kunyunyana kwe lyenda. No mulembe gubhe kwimwe bhanu muli mu Kristo.
Salute one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all you, who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
