1 Peetero 4
1 Kale nga Kristo bwe yabonyaabonyezebwa mu mubiri, nammwe mumalirire okubonaabona nga ye. Kubanga abonaabona mu mubiri aba takyafugibwa kibi.
Forasmuch then as Messiah suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
2 Okuva kaakano nga muli mu nsi muno, mugoberere ebyo Katonda by’ayagala, so si kugoberera kwegomba kwammwe okw’omubiri.
that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for human desires, but for the will of God.
3 Mu biseera ebyayita mwemaliranga mu kukola ebyo Abaamawanga bye beegombanga. Mwali mwemalidde mu bwenzi, mu kwegomba okubi, mu butamiivu, mu binyumu, mu bubaga obw’omwenge, ne mu kusinza bakatonda abalala.
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 Kaakano abo abatakkiriza Katonda beewuunya era babavuma bwe balaba nga temukyabeegattako mu ebyo bye bakola.
They think it is strange that you do not run with them into the same flood of debauchery, blaspheming:
5 Abantu abo baliwoza mu maaso ga Katonda. Kubanga yeeteeseteese okulamula abalamu n’abafu ng’asinziira ku ebyo bye baakola.
who will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6 Enjiri kyeyava ebuulirwa, n’abafu balyoke basalirwe omusango ng’abantu abalala bonna, kyokka babe balamu mu mwoyo nga Katonda bw’ali.
For this reason also the gospel 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 Enkomerero ya byonna eneetera okutuuka. Noolwekyo mwetegeke era mwegenderezenga, era bulijjo musabenga Katonda.
But the end of all things is near. Therefore be serious and disciplined in your prayers.
8 N’ekisingira ddala obukulu mwagalanenga ddala mu mazima, kubanga okwagalana kubikka ebibi bingi.
Above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
9 Musembezeganenga awatali kwemulugunya.
Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
10 Buli omu asaanidde okukozesa n’obwesigwa buli kirabo Katonda kye yamuwa olw’okugasa banne nabo balyoke bafune emikisa gya Katonda emingi gy’agaba.
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 Ayogera, ayogerenga ng’atumiddwa Katonda; ayamba, akikolenga n’amaanyi gonna Katonda g’amuwadde; mu byonna Katonda alyoke agulumizibwenga mu Yesu Kristo, alina ekitiibwa n’obuyinza emirembe n’emirembe. Amiina. (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 (the) Messiah, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Abaagalwa, temwewuunya obulumi obw’amaanyi bwe bubatuukako ng’abatuukiddwako ekintu ekitali kya bulijjo.
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 Kyokka musanyuke kubanga mugabanye ku kubonaabona kwa Kristo, mulyoke mujjule essanyu, ng’ekitiibwa kye kirabise.
But because you are partakers of Messiah's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
14 Mulina omukisa bwe muvumibwa olw’erinnya lya Kristo kubanga Omwoyo ow’ekitiibwa owa Katonda ali ku mmwe.
If you are insulted for the name of Messiah, 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 Mu mmwe temusaana kubaamu mutemu, oba mubbi, oba omukozi w’ebibi, wadde eyeeyingiza mu by’abalala. Kubanga buli abonyaabonyezebwa olw’ebyo taliiko ky’agasibwa.
For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler.
16 Naye bw’abonyaabonyezebwa olw’okuba Omukristaayo aleme kukwatibwa nsonyi, wabula yeebazenga Katonda olw’okuba owa Kristo.
But if as a "Follower of the Messiah," let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name.
17 Kubanga ekiseera kituuse Katonda okulamula ng’atandikira mu nnyumba ya Katonda. Obanga okulamula kutandikidde ku ffe, kale kiriba kitya ku abo abajeemera Enjiri ya Katonda?
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 gospel of God?
18 “Era obanga kizibu omutuukirivu okulokolebwa, kale aboonoonyi n’abatatya Katonda balikolebwa batya?”
And "If the righteous is delivered with difficulty, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?"
19 Noolwekyo abo ababonaabona olw’okutuukiriza ekyo Katonda ky’ayagala, basaanidde okuwaayo obulamu bwabwe eri Katonda waabwe omwesigwa, bakole obulungi.
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.
