1 Petro 4
1 Henu, kwa kuj'ha Kristu atesibhu mu m'mb'ele, mwikifwekai silaha sya nia j'helaj'hela. Muene j'ha atesiki mu m'mbele abhaokhene ni dhambi.
For as much then as Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
2 Munu ojhu ij'hendilila lepi kabhele kutama ni tamaa sya m'mb'ele, bali kwa mapenzi gha k'yara, kwa maisha ghake gha ghasiele.
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 Kwa kuj'ha muda ghwaghulotili ghufuene kubhomba mambo ambagho bhamataifa bhilonda kubhomba- ufisadi, nia j'hibhibhi, bhulevi, bhulafi, sherehe sya kipagani ni ibada sya sanamu syasijhele ni machukizo.
For the time past of our life may suffice us to have worked the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revelings, parties, and abominable idolatries:
4 Bhifikiri ndo ajabu pamwikibhsya kubhomba mambo agha pamonga nabhu, hivyo bhinene maovu juu j'hinu.
Wherein they think it strange that you run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
5 Bhibeta kuhomesya hesabu kwa j'ha aj'he tayari kuhukumu bhabhaj'hale hai ni bhafu.
Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
6 Kwa kusudi ele injili j'hahubiribhu kwa bhene bhabhamali kufwa, kuj'ha japokuwa bhamali kuhukumibhwa mu mibhele ghiabho kama bhanadamu, itibhabhwesiaghe kutama kul'engana ni k'yara mu roho.
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 Mwisho ghwa mambo agha ghoha ghwihida. Henu muj'hiagheni bhufahamu bhwabhuj'hele sahihi ne j'hij'hiaghe ni nia j'hinofu kwa ndabha j'ha maombi ghinu.
But the end of all things is at hand: be you therefore sober, and watch to prayer.
8 Kabla gha mambo ghoha, mujh'iaghe ni bidii mu luganu kwa kila mmonga, kwa kuj'ha lugano bhwilonda lepi kufunula dhambi sya bhangi.
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
9 Mulasiayi bhukarimu kwa kila mmonga bila kudada.
Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
10 Kama ambavyo kila mmonga ghwinu kyaapokili katama, mujhitumilajhi kuhudumilana, kama bhasimamizi bhanofu bha karama lihemele syasiho mesibhu mebhu ni k'yara.
As every man has received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 Kama munu alongilili, j'hij'hiaghe kama mausia gha k'yara, na kama munu akahudumuayi, na j'hij'hiaghe kama bhuwezo bhwa ap'helibhu ni k'yara, ila kwa kila lijambo lya k'yara akabhai kutukusibhwa kup'hetela Yesu Kristu. Bhutukufu ni bhuweza fijhele nu muene milele na milele. 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 gives: 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 Bhaganwa, msibhalangi janbu ambalyo lihida kubhaharibu kama khenu kihesya, ingawa kuj'ha k'henu kihesya kyakika j'hela kih'omela kwa muenga.
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you:
13 Lakini kwa kadri kyamwizidi kukabha bhuzoefu bhwa malombosi gha Kristu, muhobhokai, ili kuj'ha muhobhokai pia ni kushangilila mu bhufunuo bhwa bhutukufu bhwake.
But rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy.
14 Iwapo mulighibhu kwa ndabha j'ha lihina lya Kristu, mbarikibhu, kwa ndabha j'ha roho mtakatifu ni roho ghwa k'yara itama panani p'hinu.
If you be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are you; for the spirit of glory and of God rests on you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
15 Lakini asiwi munu ghwa kul'ombosi ghwa kama nkomi, m'meji, m'mbomba maovu, au j'ha ikishughulisya ni mambo ghangi.
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 Lakini ikaj'hiayi munu itesibhwa kama mkristu, asibhoni soni, bali antukusiaghe k'yara mu lihina e'lu.
Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
17 Kwa kuj'ha bhwakati bhufikiri kwa hukumu kubhwandila mu nyumba j'ha k'yara. Na kama j'hij'handila kwa tete, jhibeta kujha bhuli kwa bhala bhabhabelili kuntii injili j'ha k'yara?
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 Ni kama “j'haaj'he ni haki ijhokolibhwa kup'hetela manonono, j'hibetakujhabhuli kwa munu j'haaj'helepi ni haki na j'haaj'he ni dhambi?”
And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19 Kwa hiyo bhoha bhabhil'ombosibhwa kutokana ni mapenzi gha k'yara bhakabisyaghe nafsi syabho kwa muumba mwaminifu ili hali bhakabhombayi manofu.
Why let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as to a faithful Creator.
