1 Peetero 4
1 Kale nga Kristo bwe yabonyaabonyezebwa mu mubiri, nammwe mumalirire okubonaabona nga ye. Kubanga abonaabona mu mubiri aba takyafugibwa kibi.
Christ then having suffered in the flesh, do ye also arm yourselves with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
2 Okuva kaakano nga muli mu nsi muno, mugoberere ebyo Katonda by’ayagala, so si kugoberera kwegomba kwammwe okw’omubiri.
that ye may no longer live the remaining time in the flesh after the lusts of men, but after 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 sufficient is the time past to have wrought the will of the gentiles, when ye walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revelings, carousings, and abominable idolatries;
4 Kaakano abo abatakkiriza Katonda beewuunya era babavuma bwe balaba nga temukyabeegattako mu ebyo bye bakola.
at which they are astonished that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you;
5 Abantu abo baliwoza mu maaso ga Katonda. Kubanga yeeteeseteese okulamula abalamu n’abafu ng’asinziira ku ebyo bye baakola.
who shall give account to him that 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 to this end was the gospel preached also to the dead, that they might indeed be judged according to men 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 at hand; be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
8 N’ekisingira ddala obukulu mwagalanenga ddala mu mazima, kubanga okwagalana kubikka ebibi bingi.
And above all things have fervent love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins.
9 Musembezeganenga awatali kwemulugunya.
Be hospitable to one another without grudging.
10 Buli omu asaanidde okukozesa n’obwesigwa buli kirabo Katonda kye yamuwa olw’okugasa banne nabo balyoke bafune emikisa gya Katonda emingi gy’agaba.
According as each one hath received a gift, minister the same to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
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 any one speak, let him speak as uttering the oracles of God; if any minister, let him do it as from the ability which God giveth; that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Abaagalwa, temwewuunya obulumi obw’amaanyi bwe bubatuukako ng’abatuukiddwako ekintu ekitali kya bulijjo.
Beloved, be not surprised at the fiery trial which is taking place among you to prove you, as though a strange thing were befalling you;
13 Kyokka musanyuke kubanga mugabanye ku kubonaabona kwa Kristo, mulyoke mujjule essanyu, ng’ekitiibwa kye kirabise.
but, in so far as ye share in Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that also at the manifestation of his glory ye may rejoice with exceeding joy.
14 Mulina omukisa bwe muvumibwa olw’erinnya lya Kristo kubanga Omwoyo ow’ekitiibwa owa Katonda ali ku mmwe.
If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you.
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 as a busybody in other men's matters;
16 Naye bw’abonyaabonyezebwa olw’okuba Omukristaayo aleme kukwatibwa nsonyi, wabula yeebazenga Katonda olw’okuba owa Kristo.
but if as a Christian, 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 is come for judgment to begin at the house of God; but if it first begin with us, what will be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God?
18 “Era obanga kizibu omutuukirivu okulokolebwa, kale aboonoonyi n’abatatya Katonda balikolebwa batya?”
and “if the righteous scarcely is saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?”
19 Noolwekyo abo ababonaabona olw’okutuukiriza ekyo Katonda ky’ayagala, basaanidde okuwaayo obulamu bwabwe eri Katonda waabwe omwesigwa, bakole obulungi.
Wherefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well-doing, as to a faithful Creator.
