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,

Christ, then, having suffered for us in the flesh, you also arm yourselves with the same mind, because he who suffered in the flesh has finished [with] sin,

2 soa te amo andro sisa amy nofotseio, tsy hiveloma’e ka o hasijy rati’ ondatioo, fa ty satrin’ Añahare.

no longer in the desires of men, but in the will of God, to live the rest of the time in the flesh;

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 the time has sufficiently passed to have carried out the will of the nations, having walked in licentiousness, lusts, excesses of wines, revelings, drinking-bouts, and unlawful idolatries,

4 Le hoe te ankafankafa amo mifosao t’ie tsy migodañe tsy nàhy mindre am’iereo mb’an-kaliforan-katsivokarañe ao.

in which they think it strange—your not running with them to the same excess of wastefulness, slandering [you]—

5 F’ie tsy mahay tsy hamolily amy veka’e hizaka o veloñeo naho o vilasioy.

who will give an 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 this also was good news proclaimed to dead men, that they may be judged, indeed, according to men in the flesh, but may live according to God in the Spirit.

7 Fa an-titotse ty firefea’ ze he’e. Aa le miliera-vatañe vaho mijilova hahafilolofa’ areo.

Now the end of all things has come near; be sober-minded, then, and be sober in [your] prayers.

8 Mandikoatse izay, imaneo fifampikokoañe, fa mahalembeke hakeo maro ty fikokoañe.

Before all things, having earnest love among yourselves, because love covers a multitude of sins;

9 Mifampiantrañoa tsy aman-treotreoñe.

[be] hospitable to one another, without murmuring;

10 Aa kanao songa nandrambe falalàñe le mitoloña am-pifampitoroñañe hoe mpamandroñe mahimba’ o hasoan’ Añahare ankafankafao.

each [one], according as he received a gift, ministering it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;

11 Ndra iaia misaontsy le manahake t’ie misaontsy o fetsen’ Añahareo; ze mitoroñe, le ami’ty haozarañe atolon’ Añahare aze, soa te amy ze he’e, ho rengèñe t’i Andrianañahare añam’ Iesoà Norizañey. Aze ty engeñe naho ty fifeheañe nainai’e donia. Amena. (aiōn g165)

if anyone speaks, [speak] as oracles of God; if anyone ministers, [minister] as of the strength which God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the power through the ages of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)

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 think it strange at the fiery suffering among you that is coming to try you, as if a strange thing were happening to you,

13 fe mirebeha t’ie mitraok’ ami’ty falovilovia’ i Norizañey, handià’ areo taroba ami’ty fiboaha’ o enge’eo.

but according as you have fellowship with the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice, that you may also rejoice in the revelation of His glory—exulting;

14 Ie injèñe ty amy tahina’ i Norizañeiy, le mihahà, te ipetaha’ t’i Arofon-engen’ Añahare.

if you are reproached in the Name of Christ—[you are] blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you; in regard, indeed, to them, is evil spoken of Him, and in regard to you, 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.

for let none of you suffer as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or as a meddler into other men’s matters;

16 F’ie mpiamy Norizañey, ee te tsy ho salatse, te mone mandrenge an’ Andrianañahare ty amy tsaraeñey.

and if as a Christian, do not let him be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this respect;

17 Fa tsatoke te hifotots’ amy hasavereñan’ Añaharey i zakay; aa kanao mamototse aman-tikañe, akore ty hizò o manjehatse amy talili-soan’ Añahareio?

because it is the time of the judgment to have begun from the house of God, and if first from us, what [is] the end of those disobedient to 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?

And if the righteous man is scarcely saved, where will the ungodly and sinner appear?

19 Aa ze mijale amy satrin’ Añaharey, ee te hampiatoa’e aman’ Andrianamboatse migahiñey ty arofo’e, am-pitoloñan-tsoa.

So that those also suffering according to the will of God, as to a steadfast Creator, let them commit their own souls in doing good.
