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.
Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who 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 you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for human desires, but for 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 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 Bhifikiri ndo ajabu pamwikibhsya kubhomba mambo agha pamonga nabhu, hivyo bhinene maovu juu j'hinu.
They think it is strange that you do not run with them into the same flood of debauchery, blaspheming:
5 Bhibeta kuhomesya hesabu kwa j'ha aj'he tayari kuhukumu bhabhaj'hale hai ni bhafu.
who will give account to him who is ready to judge the living 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 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 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 near. Therefore be serious and disciplined in your prayers.
8 Kabla gha mambo ghoha, mujh'iaghe ni bidii mu luganu kwa kila mmonga, kwa kuj'ha lugano bhwilonda lepi kufunula dhambi sya bhangi.
Above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
9 Mulasiayi bhukarimu kwa kila mmonga bila kudada.
Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
10 Kama ambavyo kila mmonga ghwinu kyaapokili katama, mujhitumilajhi kuhudumilana, kama bhasimamizi bhanofu bha karama lihemele syasiho mesibhu mebhu ni k'yara.
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 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 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 Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever 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, 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 Lakini kwa kadri kyamwizidi kukabha bhuzoefu bhwa malombosi gha Kristu, muhobhokai, ili kuj'ha muhobhokai pia ni kushangilila mu bhufunuo bhwa bhutukufu bhwake.
But because you are partakers of Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice 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 are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, 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.
For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler.
16 Lakini ikaj'hiayi munu itesibhwa kama mkristu, asibhoni soni, bali antukusiaghe k'yara mu lihina e'lu.
But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name.
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 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 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 is delivered with difficulty, where will 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.
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.
