1 Peetero 4
1 Kale nga Kristo bwe yabonyaabonyezebwa mu mubiri, nammwe mumalirire okubonaabona nga ye. Kubanga abonaabona mu mubiri aba takyafugibwa kibi.
Ngakho, njengoba uKhristu wahlupheka emzimbeni wakhe, lani hlomani ngesimo esifanayo, ngoba lowo owahluphekayo emzimbeni wakhe usehlule isono.
2 Okuva kaakano nga muli mu nsi muno, mugoberere ebyo Katonda by’ayagala, so si kugoberera kwegomba kwammwe okw’omubiri.
Ngakho-ke, ukuphila kwakhe kwasemhlabeni okuseleyo kakuphileli izinkanuko ezimbi zabantu, kodwa intando kaNkulunkulu.
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.
Ngoba selichithe isikhathi esaneleyo ngaphambili lisenza lokho abahedeni abakhetha ukukwenza, impilo yobudlova, inkanuko, lokudakwa, ukuzitika, ukuzivusa amadlabuzane kanye lezithombe eziyisinengiso.
4 Kaakano abo abatakkiriza Katonda beewuunya era babavuma bwe balaba nga temukyabeegattako mu ebyo bye bakola.
Bakubona kumangalisa ukuthi kalibhudlukeli kanye labo kusikhukhula sinye sencithakalo, njalo bayalithuka kakhulu.
5 Abantu abo baliwoza mu maaso ga Katonda. Kubanga yeeteeseteese okulamula abalamu n’abafu ng’asinziira ku ebyo bye baakola.
Kodwa kuzamela baziphendulele kuye olungele ukwahlulela abaphilayo kanye labafileyo.
6 Enjiri kyeyava ebuulirwa, n’abafu balyoke basalirwe omusango ng’abantu abalala bonna, kyokka babe balamu mu mwoyo nga Katonda bw’ali.
Ngoba lesi yiso isizatho esenza kwatshunyayelwa ivangeli lakulabo khathesi asebefile, ukuze bahlulelwe ngokwabantu ngokomzimba, kodwa baphile ngokukaNkulunkulu ngokomoya.
7 Enkomerero ya byonna eneetera okutuuka. Noolwekyo mwetegeke era mwegenderezenga, era bulijjo musabenga Katonda.
Ukuphela kwezinto zonke sekusondele. Ngakho-ke, kumele liqedisise njalo lizithibe ukuze likhuleke.
8 N’ekisingira ddala obukulu mwagalanenga ddala mu mazima, kubanga okwagalana kubikka ebibi bingi.
Phezu kwakho konke, thandanani ngokupheleleyo, ngoba uthando lugqibela izono ezinengi.
9 Musembezeganenga awatali kwemulugunya.
Yamukelanani emakhaya enu kungekho kukhonona.
10 Buli omu asaanidde okukozesa n’obwesigwa buli kirabo Katonda kye yamuwa olw’okugasa banne nabo balyoke bafune emikisa gya Katonda emingi gy’agaba.
Lowo lalowo kumele asebenzise loba yisiphi isipho somoya asamukelayo ekusizeni abanye, njengenceku ezithembekileyo zomusa kaNkulunkulu ngesimo sawo olezimo ezehlukeneyo.
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)
Nxa umuntu ekhuluma, kumele akhulume njengokhuluma amazwi kaNkulunkulu wona ngokwawo. Nxa umuntu ekhonza, kumele akhonze ngamandla awaphiwa nguNkulunkulu, ukuze kuthi ezintweni zonke uNkulunkulu adunyiswe ngoJesu Khristu. Udumo lamandla kakube kuye kuze kube nini lanini. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
12 Abaagalwa, temwewuunya obulumi obw’amaanyi bwe bubatuukako ng’abatuukiddwako ekintu ekitali kya bulijjo.
Bangane bami abathandekayo, lingamangaliswa yibuhlungu besilingo elibuzwayo, kungathi kwenzakala into engaziwayo kini.
13 Kyokka musanyuke kubanga mugabanye ku kubonaabona kwa Kristo, mulyoke mujjule essanyu, ng’ekitiibwa kye kirabise.
Kodwa thokozani ngokuthi liyahlanganyela ekuhluphekeni kukaKhristu, ukuze lithokoze kakhulu lapho inkazimulo yakhe isibonakaliswa.
14 Mulina omukisa bwe muvumibwa olw’erinnya lya Kristo kubanga Omwoyo ow’ekitiibwa owa Katonda ali ku mmwe.
Nxa lithukwa ngenxa yebizo likaKhristu, libusisiwe, ngoba uMoya wenkazimulo lokaNkulunkulu uhlezi phezu kwenu.
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.
Nxa lihlupheka, akungabi njengombulali loba isela kumbe olunye uhlobo lwesigebenga loba lanjengongenelayo ezindabeni zabanikazi.
16 Naye bw’abonyaabonyezebwa olw’okuba Omukristaayo aleme kukwatibwa nsonyi, wabula yeebazenga Katonda olw’okuba owa Kristo.
Kodwa-ke, nxa lihlupheka njengomKhristu, lingayangeki, kodwa dumisani uNkulunkulu ngebizo lakhe.
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?
Ngoba kuyisikhathi sokuthi ukwahlulela kuqalise ngabendlu kaNkulunkulu; njalo nxa kuqalisa ngathi, isiphetho sizakuba yini kulabo abangalaleli ivangeli likaNkulunkulu na?
18 “Era obanga kizibu omutuukirivu okulokolebwa, kale aboonoonyi n’abatatya Katonda balikolebwa batya?”
Njalo, “Nxa kunzima ukuba abalungileyo basindiswe, pho kuzakuba njani kwabangakholwayo labayizoni na?”
19 Noolwekyo abo ababonaabona olw’okutuukiriza ekyo Katonda ky’ayagala, basaanidde okuwaayo obulamu bwabwe eri Katonda waabwe omwesigwa, bakole obulungi.
Ngakho-ke, labo abahlupheka ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu kumele bazinikele kuMdali wabo othembekileyo njalo baqhubeke besenza okulungileyo.
