1 Petro 4
1 Ulwa kuva uYesu agatantsiwe mu mbili, mufwale ifilwilo ifya mbili. Umwene agatanshiwe nu mbili ahegile ni mbivi.
Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves with the same resolve, because anyone who has suffered in his body is done with sin.
2 Umunu uyu sidumuka ukutama mumbunogwe we mbili, hange uwigane Nguluve, kuvutamo lwa mwene uvusigile.
Consequently, he does not live out his remaining time on earth for human passions, but for the will of God.
3 Ulwa kuva usikhi ugulutile gukwilile ukuvomba imbombo avakilunga vinogwa ukuvomba insakilunga nu vunogwe uvuvivi, uvugansti, ulya va panji, ni nekelo insta intsa kumbipintsa.
For you have spent enough time in the past carrying out the same desires as the Gentiles: living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and detestable idolatry.
4 Visaga ni ustha kudega vutukipoka ukuvomba, imbombo icho paninye na vene uvuvivi.
Because of this, they consider it strange of you not to plunge with them into the same flood of reckless indiscretion, and they heap abuse on you.
5 Valahumya imbalilo vala avavidike avumi na vafwe.
But they will have to give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6 Uvufumbwe uva livangili lilumbiliwe kuvala avamalile ukufwa, vamalile ukuhigiwa kombombo nshevene uwa mbombo ntsoni, wikwitsa tuve nu vumanye tuve nu vumanyi uvunogwe nu vufumbwe ku mbombo entsa klwisayo kwenyo.
That is why the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
7 Kuvumalilo uwa uogwa nsoni wikwe, kwa hiyo, mwe na ufahamu ulio sahihi, na iweni na nia njema kwa ajili ya maombi yenu.
The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear-minded and sober, so that you can pray.
8 Ukuhuma kumbombo utsoni tuve nulugano lintsa nu lugano, kumunu nu munu, ulwakuva ulugano lulonda ukugula uvutula nongwa va vange.
Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
9 Vunesye uvudekedekhe kwa kila munu nukusila ukwililisya.
Show hospitality to one another without complaining.
10 Ndu kila munu apokile ikikungilwa kuvombage ukutangana na avimilinsi.
As good stewards of the manifold grace of God, each of you should use whatever gift he has received to serve one another.
11 Umunu anga utsove nsive ukuta mavungu uNguluve nu munu angavombe ave ndumunu uvyapevilwa amaka nu Nguluve ile ave ntsage ni mbombo Nguluve, ulwakuva uNguluve aginiwage nu kugendea kwa Yesu Klisite. Ulugano na maka galinumwe isiku nsoni ni isiku nsoni. Amina. (aiōn g165)
If anyone speaks, he should speak as one conveying the words of God. If anyone serves, he should serve with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Vayango mulavalilaga ukugela ilyulikwi ntsa kukuvagela, ulwakuva ikhinu ikyo kigeni, ulwakuva kuli ifinu ikyavahesya ifi fya humilaga kulyumwe.
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you, as though something strange were happening to you.
13 Ulwakhuva vutukwendelela ukusovela nu uvukuvilwa wa Klisite, tuhekelage nu kuhekela ulwakuva tudinduliwe.
But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory.
14 Mungave mdukhiwe ni limenyu lyango, kulitawa lya Klisite, nu msanyiwe ulwakuva umepo umbola utse uva Nguluve itama pakyanya pa lyumwe.
If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
15 Umunu igata alekhe ukuvepo unyakhugatawi ustiwa ubudaji, undasi, umbombo mbivi, nu vihangaika ni mbombo imbivi uvivomba imbombo injitava ntse mwene.
Indeed, none of you should suffer as a murderer or thief or wrongdoer, or even as a meddler.
16 Umunu uvwungiwa ni mbombo insa nklisite, alekhage ukuvona isoni, aginye uNguluve kulitawa ilyu.
But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God that you bear that name.
17 Ulwa khuva isikhi jifikhe lutsa vuhigi ukheu ugwa vuhigi kutengulila tengula munyumba ya Nguluve. Yingave yitengulila khilyufwe, yiva ndeti khu vala untsela avasavidike wa yilweli ilimenyu lya Nguluve?
For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who disobey the gospel of God?
18 Nukuva uva yilweli ipokiwa ukuhumila uvukuvilwa yuyiva ndakhikhiuntsila lweli nu nyambivi?”
And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
19 Ulwakuva vuni avigata ntsiwa ukuhuma nuvunogwe wa Nguluve vagotole inumbula ntsavo kupeli ugolofu nu kuvomba imbombo inonu.
So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should entrust their souls to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
