1 Petili 4
1 Pabha, a Kilishitu bhashinkupotekwa nshiilu, na mmanganya nneila peila nnapinjikwanga mwiishimilikanje na tumbilila kutenda nneyo peyo, pabha mundu apotekwaga nshiilu, aleshile yambi.
Therefore, since Christ suffered on our behalf in flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mentality (for the one who has ‘suffered in flesh’ has been made to cease from sin)
2 Bhai, kutandubhila nnaino kwa mobha gannepeshelenje kutama pa shilambolyo pano, nnapinjikwanga ntamangananje malinga shibhapinga a Nnungu, nnatamangane kwa kagulila ilokoli yenunji ya nshiilu.
so as not to live your remaining time in flesh for human lusts any longer, but for the will of God.
3 Mobha gapitilego, mwashinkwiibhukanga kaje nkutenda ibhatendangaga bhandunji bhakakwamanyanga a Nnungu, mwayobhelelenje kutenda ya labhalabha, na ilokoli yangali ya mmbone, na ya kolelwa, na ya joloka, na kutindibhalila yanamu, na nngoma ya mashetani, yoweyo ni ikwaashima a Nnungu.
Because the time that has passed is plenty for you to have performed the will of the pagans—having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, carousings and disgusting idolatries—
4 Nnaino bhandunji bhakakwaamanyanga a Nnungu bhala bhanakunkanganigwanga, pubhakummonanga nkalongana nabhonji kabhili mwiitendi yabhonji yangali ya mmbone. Bhai, nikuntukanangaga.
in regard to which they are disagreeably surprised at your not running with them into the same flood of debauchery, reviling you;
5 Ikabheje shibhapinjikwanje kutalashiya ga ndamo yabhonji kwa a Nnungu bhali tayali kwa ukumula bhabhakotonji na bhawilenje!
they will give an account to Him who is ready to judge living and dead
6 Kwa lyene ligongolyo nkali bhawilenje bhashilungushiywanga Ngani ja Mmbone, nkupinga bhaukumulwanje nshiilu, malinga shibhaukumulwanga bhananji, ikabhe bhakolanje gumi mmbumu, malinga a Nnungu shibhali na gumi.
(which is precisely why dead ones were once evangelized, that they should be judged as men in flesh, to be sure, but that they should live according to God in spirit).
7 Ikabheje mpelo gwa indu yowe ubhandishile. Kwa nneyo nnaapinjikwanga nkolanje lunda na kwiiluma na sheya, nkujuga Nnungu.
The end of all things has approached; therefore be serious and self-controlled in your praying.
8 Nakupunda genego mpingane kwa kaje, pabha kupingana kunaunishila gwinji gwa ilebho.
Above all things your love for one another should be constant, because love covers a multitude of sins.
9 Nnagushiyananje gwangali ya inginika.
Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
10 Kila mundu atendele liengo shiloi shapegwilwe na a Nnungu nkwaajangutilanga bhananji malinga ntumishi jwa mmbone, jwa nema ja a Nnungu.
As each has received a gift, minister it to one another as good administrators of God's varied grace.
11 Mundu akwete shiloi sha bheleketa, alunguye ntenga gwa a Nnungu, akamula maengo, akamule kwa mashili gapegwilwe na a Nnungu, nkupinga kwa gowe gatendeka bhakuywe a Nnungu, kwa ligongo lya a Yeshu Kilishitu bhakwete ukonjelo na mashili pitipiti! Amina. (aiōn g165)
If anyone speaks, let it be as utterances of God. If anyone serves, let it be as from strength as God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion throughout the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Ashaambwiga ajangunji, nnakanganigwanje ga malinjilo ga mboteko gunkugapatanga, nnabhonanje mbuti shindu shijeni kwenu mmanganya.
Dear ones, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you as a test, as though something strange was happening to you,
13 Ikabheje mwiinonyelanje pabha numbe mmanganya nnapotekwanga malinga a Kilishitu, nkupinga kumwinonyelanje mobha pushujiye bhoneka ukonjelo gwabho.
but to the extent that you share in Christ's sufferings, rejoice, so that at the revelation of His glory you also may rejoice a great deal more.
14 Monaga ntukanwangaga kwa ligongo lya lina lya a Yeshu Kilishitu mbaya, pabha Mbumu jwa ukonjelo gwa a Nnungu, pali na mmanganya.
If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of the glory and of God has come to rest upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.
15 Anapagwe mundu jojowe munkumbi gwenunji apinjikwa kupotekwa kwa ligongo lyabha nkubhulaga, eu nngwii eu malinga mundu aloleya ngani ya bhandu ajakwe.
Now do not any of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a meddler in others' affairs;
16 Ikabheje mundu apotekwaga kwa ligongo lyabha nkilishitu, bhai, anakole oni, ikabhe abhakuye a Nnungu pabha anashemwa kwa lina lya a Kilishitu.
but if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.
17 Pabha mobha ga ukumu gaishe na ukumu kujitandubhila nnyumba ja a Nnungu. Na ibhaga ukumu jitandubhila kwetu uwe, bhai, mpelo gwa bhandunji bhakaakulupalilanga Ngani ja Mmbone ja a Nnungu shiubhe bhuli?
Because the time has come for judgment to begin at God's house; now if it starts with us, what will be the end of those who keep disobeying the Gospel of God?
18 Malinga shigataya Majandiko ga ukonjelo, “Ibhaga ikomala kutapulwa mundu akwete aki, shiibhe bhuli kwa bhandunji bhakakwaajogopanga a Nnungu na bhakwetenje ilebho?”
Also, ‘If the righteous one is saved with difficulty, where will the godless and sinful person appear?’
19 Bhai kwa nneyo, bhaapotekwanga kwa pinga kwabho bhayene a Nnungu, bhanapinjikwanga kwa itendi yabhonji ya mmbone, bhaikamuyanje kwa Ashipanganya bhaakulupalika.
And so let those who suffer according to the will of God entrust their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.
