1 Peetero 5
1 Noolwekyo mbulirira abakadde abali mu mmwe nze mukadde munnammwe, omujulirwa w’okubonaabona kwa Kristo, era agabanira awamu ekitiibwa ekigenda okubikkulirwa.
The elders which [are] among you I exhort, who [am their] fellow-elder and witness of the sufferings of the Christ, who also [am] partaker of the glory about to be revealed:
2 Mulundenga ekisibo kya Katonda ekiri mu mmwe, mukiriisenga nga mukirabirira n’okwagala so si na kwemulugunya, nga mukolerera amagoba ag’obukuusa wabula olw’okujjumbira Katonda.
shepherd the flock of God which [is] among you, exercising oversight, not by necessity, but willingly; not for base gain, but readily;
3 Be mukulembera temubakambuwaliranga wabula mubakulemberenga nga mubalaga ekyokulabirako ekirungi.
not as lording it over your possessions, but being models for the flock.
4 Era Omusumba Omukulu bw’alikomawo, muliweebwa engule ey’ekitiibwa ekitaliggwaawo.
And when the chief shepherd is manifested ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.
5 Mmwe abavubuka, mugonderenga abakulu. Muweerezeganenga mwekka na mwekka n’obuwombeefu kubanga “Katonda akyawa ab’amalala naye abawombeefu abawa omukisa.”
Likewise [ye] younger, be subject to [the] elder, and all of you bind on humility towards one another; for God sets himself against [the] proud, but to [the] humble gives grace.
6 Noolwekyo mwewombeeke wansi w’omukono gwa Katonda ogw’amaanyi, naye alibagulumiza ng’obudde butuuse.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in [the due] time;
7 Mumutwalirenga byonna bye mweraliikirira kubanga abalumirwa era afaayo ku buli ekibatuukako.
having cast all your care upon him, for he cares about you.
8 Mutunulenga, mwekuume omulabe wammwe Setaani, atambulatambula ng’empologoma enjala gy’eruma egenda ng’ewuluguma ng’enoonya gw’eneerya.
Be vigilant, watch. Your adversary [the] devil as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour.
9 Mumwaŋŋange ng’abalumbye, nga mwesiga Mukama, era mujjukire nti ebibonoobono ebiri ng’ebyo bituuka ne ku bakkiriza abalala mu nsi yonna.
Whom resist, stedfast in faith, knowing that the selfsame sufferings are accomplished in your brotherhood which [is] in [the] world.
10 Bwe mulibonaabonera akaseera, Katonda waffe atukwatirwa ekisa ng’ayita mu Kristo, alibawa ekitiibwa kye ekitaliggwaawo. Alibakomyawo, alibazzaamu amaanyi, alibawanirira era alibanyweza. (aiōnios g166)
But the God of all grace who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, when ye have suffered for a little while, himself shall make perfect, stablish, strengthen, ground: (aiōnios g166)
to him [be] the glory and the might for the ages of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Ebbaluwa eno nzija kugikwasa Sirwano, gwe mmanyi nga waaluganda mwesigwa ddala, agibaleetere. Nsuubira nga mbazizzaamu amaanyi mu bbaluwa eno, era nga mbalaze engeri Katonda gy’agabamu ekisa kye ekingi. Ebyo bye mbategeezezza bibayambe okunywerera mu kwagala kwe.
By Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I suppose, I have written to you briefly; exhorting and testifying that this is [the] true grace of God in which ye stand.
13 Balonde bannammwe mu kkanisa y’e Babulooni, babalamusizza. Ne mutabani wange Makko naye abalamusizza.
She that is elected with [you] in Babylon salutes you, and Marcus my son.
14 Mulamusagane n’okwagala okw’Ekikristaayo. Emirembe gibeerenga mu mmwe mwenna abali mu Kristo.
Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all who [are] in Christ.
