1 Petera 4
1 Aa kanao nilofek’ am-pañova’e i Norizañey, le adiaño ho fitalifirañe izay, amy te nijihetse tsy manao hakeo ka ty nijale an-tsandriñe,
Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
2 soa te amo andro sisa amy nofotseio, tsy hiveloma’e ka o hasijy rati’ ondatioo, fa ty satrin’ Añahare.
that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
3 Amy te nahatsàke anahareo o andro nitoloñañe amy ze fisatria’ o kilakila’ ndatio—nifanao haloloañe, hakarapiloañe, hamamoañe, fihisàn-draty, figologodrañan-divay, vaho fitalahoam-pahasive tiva.
For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
4 Le hoe te ankafankafa amo mifosao t’ie tsy migodañe tsy nàhy mindre am’iereo mb’an-kaliforan-katsivokarañe ao.
They think it is strange that you do not run with them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you.
5 F’ie tsy mahay tsy hamolily amy veka’e hizaka o veloñeo naho o vilasioy.
They will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6 Izay ty talim-pitseizañe i talili-soay amo nihomakeo, hizakañe hoe ondaty amy nofotsey vaho ho veloñe añ’arofo ao ty amy natoron’ Añaharey.
For to this end the Good News was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit.
7 Fa an-titotse ty firefea’ ze he’e. Aa le miliera-vatañe vaho mijilova hahafilolofa’ areo.
But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.
8 Mandikoatse izay, imaneo fifampikokoañe, fa mahalembeke hakeo maro ty fikokoañe.
And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
9 Mifampiantrañoa tsy aman-treotreoñe.
Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
10 Aa kanao songa nandrambe falalàñe le mitoloña am-pifampitoroñañe hoe mpamandroñe mahimba’ o hasoan’ Añahare ankafankafao.
As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
12 O ry rañetse, ko ilatsa’ areo ty fitsohañe añ’afo mifetsake ama’areo, (ie famenteañe anahareo) manahake te nizò raha ankafankafa,
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 fe mirebeha t’ie mitraok’ ami’ty falovilovia’ i Norizañey, handià’ areo taroba ami’ty fiboaha’ o enge’eo.
But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
14 Ie injèñe ty amy tahina’ i Norizañeiy, le mihahà, te ipetaha’ t’i Arofon-engen’ Añahare.
If you are insulted for the name of Christ, 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 Ehe te tsy ama’ areo ty ho lovilovieñe t’ie mpamono ondaty, ndra mpikizo, ndra mpanao raty, ndra mitsoropoke am’ondaty mitoloñe.
But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler in other men’s matters.
16 F’ie mpiamy Norizañey, ee te tsy ho salatse, te mone mandrenge an’ Andrianañahare ty amy tsaraeñey.
But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.
17 Fa tsatoke te hifotots’ amy hasavereñan’ Añaharey i zakay; aa kanao mamototse aman-tikañe, akore ty hizò o manjehatse amy talili-soan’ Añahareio?
For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who do not obey the Good News of God?
18 Aa katao sarotse ho rombaheñe ty vantañe, akore ty hifetsak’ ami’ty tsy aman-Kake naho amy aman-kakeoy?
“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?”
19 Aa ze mijale amy satrin’ Añaharey, ee te hampiatoa’e aman’ Andrianamboatse migahiñey ty arofo’e, am-pitoloñan-tsoa.
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.
