1 Petili 5
1 Nene namgogo chilongosi wa msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu, ndi mwenigawene namwene mang'ahiso ga Kilisitu na nene yati nivya muukulu waki weugubukuliwa. Nikuvayupa neju nyenye vagogo vayangu,
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 mvya vadimaji wa msambi wa vandu vempewili na Chapanga, mliyangalila bwina, lepi ngati chemwigana nyenye nambu cheigana Chapanga. Muhenga lihengu lepi kwa mnogo wa kupata mashonga nambu muhenga kwa mtima winu woha.
shepherd the flock of God which [is] among you, exercising oversight, not by necessity, but willingly; not for base gain, but readily;
3 Mkoto kuvalongosa kwa makakala vala vempewili kuuyangalila, nambu muvya luhumu lwa bwina kwa msambi wenuwo.
not as lording it over your possessions, but being models for the flock.
4 Na lukumbi Mdimaji Mkulu peibwela kavili, nyenye yati mpokela njingwa ya ukulu yangayagisa ubwina waki.
And when the chief shepherd is manifested ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.
5 Mewawa na nyenye vasongolo muvayidakila vagogo vinu. Na mwavoha nyenye mganikiwa kuvya vangolongondi muhotola kutangatilana, muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Chapanga akuvabela vevimeka nambu akuvalangisa ubwina waki vangameka”
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 Hinu ndi, ngolongondi winu uvya pahi ya mumawoko ga Chapanga mweavi na uhotola, muni avayinula lukumbi lweluganikiwa.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in [the due] time;
7 Mumlekela mwene mambu geging'aha mitima yinu, muni mwene akuvayangalila.
having cast all your care upon him, for he cares about you.
8 Mjiyangalila, na mvya mihu! Muni likoko winu Setani, itindila tindila ngati lihimba lelibuluma kumlonda mundu limmila.
Be vigilant, watch. Your adversary [the] devil as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour.
9 Mumbela mwenuyo, myima cha kukangamala mu sadika, ndava mumanyili vakilisitu vayinu pamulima woha ving'aika ngati chemwing'aika nyenye.
Whom resist, stedfast in faith, knowing that the selfsame sufferings are accomplished in your brotherhood which [is] in [the] world.
10 Nambu mwakamala kung'ahika lukumbi luhupi, Chapanga mweavili na ubwina mugoha, mweavakemeli muyingila mu ukulu waki wa magono goha gangali mwishu mukuwungana na Kilisitu. Mwene yati akuvakangamalisa, na akuvapela makakala na kuvakita mkangamala kuyima mumkingisa weusindimili. (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 Nivayandikili balua yeniyi yidebe kwa kutangatiliwa na Siliwano, mwenimuweni ngati mlongo wangu na msadikika. Nigana kuvasindimalisa mtima na kujova kuvya lijambu lenili chakaka ubwina wa Chapanga. Myima chakukangamala mu ubwina wenuwo.
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 Vamsadika vayinu vevavili ku Babeli vevahaguliwi na Chapanga pamonga na nyenye vakuvajambusa. Mewawa Maluko mweavi ngati mwana vangu akuvajambusa.
She that is elected with [you] in Babylon salutes you, and Marcus my son.
14 Mjambusanayi muuganu waki Kilisitu. Mutama kwa uteke mwavoha nyenye mwemuvi mugati ya Kilisitu.
Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all who [are] in Christ.
