1 Petelo 4
1 Lokola Klisto amonaki pasi kati na nzoto na Ye, bino mpe bosengeli kotambola na makanisi ya ndenge wana; pamba te Ye oyo amonaki pasi kati na nzoto na Ye asilisaki nguya ya lisumu,
Christ, then, having suffered for us in the flesh, ye also with the same mind arm yourselves, because he who did suffer in the flesh hath done with sin,
2 mpo ete botambola te kolanda baposa mabe ya nzoto, kasi kolanda mokano ya Nzambe, na mikolo oyo botikali na yango ya kobika awa na mokili.
no more in the desires of men, but in the will of God, to live the rest of the time in the flesh;
3 Solo, na kala, bolekisaki tango mingi na kosala makambo oyo Bapagano basalaka: kindumba, baposa mabe ya nzoto, milangwa, lokoso ya kolia mpe ya komela, mpe kosambela bikeko ya nkele.
for sufficient to us [is] the past time of life the will of the nations to have wrought, having walked in lasciviousnesses, desires, excesses of wines, revellings, drinking-bouts, and unlawful idolatries,
4 Kasi sik’oyo, Bapagano bazali kokamwa ete bozali kosangana lisusu te elongo na bango kati na bomoi wana ya kindumba makasi; yango wana bakomi kobebisa lokumu na bino na nzela ya matongi.
in which they think it strange — your not running with them to the same excess of dissoluteness, speaking evil,
5 Kasi bakosamba liboso ya Nzambe oyo akosambisa penza bato ya bomoi mpe bakufi.
who shall give an account to Him who is ready to judge living and dead,
6 Yango wana mpe kutu Yesu ateyaki Sango Malamu ata epai ya bato oyo bazali sik’oyo ya kokufa mpo ete basambisama kolanda mibeko ya bato na oyo etali nzoto mpe babika bomoi kolanda mokano ya Nzambe na oyo etali Molimo.
for for this also to dead men was good news proclaimed, that they may be judged, indeed, according to men in the flesh, and may live according to God in the spirit.
7 Suka ya makambo nyonso ekomi pene; yango wana, botambola na bwanya mpe na mayele mpo ete bokoka kosambela.
And of all things the end hath come nigh; be sober-minded, then, and watch unto the prayers,
8 Liboso na nyonso, bolinganaka makasi, pamba te bolingo ezipaka masumu ebele.
and, before all things, to one another having the earnest love, because the love shall cover a multitude of sins;
9 Boyambanaka malamu lokola nde boyambi bapaya kati na bandako na bino, bosalaka bongo na koyimayima te.
hospitable to one another, without murmuring;
10 Kati na bino, moto nyonso azwaki likabo kowuta na Nzambe; boye, mpo na bolamu ya baninga, tika ete asalela yango lokola mobateli malamu ya lolenge nyonso ya ngolu ya Nzambe.
each, according as he received a gift, to one another ministering it, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;
11 Tika ete moto oyo azali na likabo ya koloba asakola Liloba na Nzambe; tika ete moto oyo azali na likabo ya kosunga bato asala yango na makasi oyo Nzambe apesi ye mpo ete, kati na makambo nyonso, Nzambe azwa lokumu na nzela ya Yesu-Klisto. Tika ete nkembo mpe nguya ezonga epai na Ye mpo na libela na libela! Amen! (aiōn g165)
if any one doth speak — 'as oracles of God;' if any one doth minister — 'as of the ability which God doth supply;' that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the power — to the ages of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Balingami, bokamwa te bapasi oyo bozali komona, lokola nde likambo ya kokamwa ekomeli bino.
Beloved, think it not strange at the fiery suffering among you that is coming to try you, as if a strange thing were happening to you,
13 Bosepela nde, pamba te bozali kosangana na bapasi ya Klisto mpo ete botonda mpe na esengo tango akomonisa nkembo na Ye.
but, according as ye have fellowship with the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice ye, that also in the revelation of his glory ye may rejoice — exulting;
14 Soki bafingi bino likolo ya Kombo ya Klisto, bozali bato ya esengo, pamba te Molimo ya nkembo, Molimo ya Nzambe, azali likolo na bino.
if ye be reproached in the name of Christ — happy [are ye], because the Spirit of glory and of God upon you doth rest; in regard, indeed, to them, he is evil-spoken of, and in regard to you, he is glorified;
15 Tika ete moko te kati na bino amona pasi mpo ete azali mobomi to moyibi, moto mabe to moto oyo akotaka makambo ya bato mosusu;
for let none of you suffer as a murderer, or thief, or evil-doer, or as an inspector into other men's matters;
16 nzokande soki azali komona pasi mpo ete azali Moklisto, wana tika ete ayokela yango soni ata moke te, kasi akumisa nde Nzambe mpo na Kombo yango.
and if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; and let him glorify God in this respect;
17 Pamba te tokomi na tango oyo kosambisama ezali kobanda epai ya bato ya Nzambe. Bongo soki ebandi epai na biso, ekosuka ndenge nini epai ya bato oyo batosaka te Sango Malamu ya Nzambe?
because it is the time of the beginning of the judgment from the house of God, and if first from us, what the end of those disobedient to the good news of God?
18 Pamba te Makomi elobi: « Soki ezali na pasi makasi nde moto ya sembo abikisami, ekozala boni mpo na moto mabe mpe mosumuki? »
And if the righteous man is scarcely saved, the ungodly and sinner — where shall he appear?
19 Boye tika ete bato oyo bazali komona pasi mpo ete batosaka mokano ya Nzambe bamipesa mobimba na Mokeli na bango oyo azali sembo, mpe tika ete basalaka bolamu.
so that also those suffering according to the will of god, as to a stedfast Creator, let them commit their own souls in good doing.
