1 Petro 5
1 Nenda kwa sili apinda bababile miongoni mwinu, nenga nanibile nampinda nyabe na shaidi mateso ya Kristo na ambaye vile vile ni mshirki katika utukufu unapatikana.
Elders who [are] among you, I exhort [you], [as] a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and a partaker of the glory about to be revealed,
2 Kwa njo, nipeya mwoyo mwenga mwaipindo mulikote likundi lya Nn”ungu lyakibile miongoni mwinu, mulilolange, sio kwa sababy muyeubilikwa lakini kwa sababu mupalitenjo, tokana na Nn”ungu mulotange sio kwa penda mbanje ya oni, lakini ka penda.
feed the flock of God that [is] among you, overseeing not by compulsion, but willingly, neither for shameful gain, but eagerly,
3 Kwane mwipange mwamabwana kunaniya bundu bababile payi ya lola kwinu, lakini mube mfano wa likundi.
neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but becoming patterns for the flock,
4 Palu mchungaji mpindo paluwa tanganikwa mwapokya mataji go utukufu yaobali uthamani wake.
and the Chief Shepherd having appeared, you will receive the unfading garland of glory.
5 Namwenga, mwa vijana mwasend, munyenyekeyanga kwa apindo binu. Mwenga mwabori muwale unyenyekevu nopeyana mwenga kwa mwenga, kwani Nn”ungu akumbwa benge yuwa, lakini apeya neema anyenyekevu.
In like manner, you young [ones], be subject to elders, and all subjecting yourselves to one another; clothe yourselves with humble-mindedness, because God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble;
6 Kwa njo munyenyekeyange paiya makoga Nn”ungu gagabile hodari ili akakatuye kwa muda wake.
be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that He may exalt you in good time,
7 Mumiki fadhaa yinu panani yake, kwa sababu andakuntanga.
having cast all your care on Him, because He cares for you.
8 Mube na busara, mube mwamuaminika. Yulu adui yinu, ibilisi kati imba ywa kumbwa nduli kaegelya, kampala mundu wa kunuma.
Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the Devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may swallow up,
9 Muyime nchungu yake, mube na makakala katika imani yinu, mutangite panga alongo binu bababile ulimwenguni bapitya mateso kati go.
whom you must resist, steadfast in the faith, having known the same sufferings of your brotherhood to be accomplished in the world.
10 Baada ya kuteseka kwa muda nkulu, Nn”ungu wa neema yoti, ywabakemite katika utukufu wa milele nkati ya Kristo, ankamilisha, amwimariisha na kumpeya ngupu. (aiōnios g166)
And the God of all grace, who called you to His perpetual glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle [you]; (aiōnios g166)
to Him [is] the glory and the power through the ages and the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Namthamini silwano kati nn”ongo mwaminifu, na nimwandikile mwenga kaw kifupi pitya kwake. Nipeyanga mwoyo wa nendashudia ponga chanikiandike ni neemo ya kweli kwa Nn”ungu. Muyimange nkati yake.
Through Silvanus, the faithful brother as I reckon, I wrote through few [words] to you, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which you have stood.
13 Mwabili mwamubile Babelu baba Sauli kwe na mwenga, banda kunsalimia, na Marko mwanawangu andankusalimia.
She in Babylon chosen with you greets you, and my son Marcus.
14 Musalimianane kwa kila jumo kwa busu la upendo. Na Amani ibe kwinu mwamubile nkati ya Kristo.
Greet one another in a kiss of love. Peace to you all who [are] in Christ Jesus! Amen.
