1 OPetro 4
1 Nantele amwene O Kilisti ayembele nubele, hwikwatizi eshi zijilo zyazili nanshizila. Zyayembele ashilile obele ayepene ne mbibhi.
Since, then, Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, do you also arm yourselves with the same determination; for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
2 Omtu ono sagahwedelela nantele olwizyo nenyonyo ezyebele, shasongwelwe Ongolobhe, husiku zyakwe zyazisangeye.
so that he no longer lives the rest of his time in the flesh, according to the desires of men, but according to the will of God.
3 zyazibhalile ziyiye hulenganye embombo zyasaga bhaputa bhahaza abhombe embibhi, nebibhi omweezi, olyavi eshikulukulu eshabha sebhaputa nezwa huzimu zyuzivisya.
For the time past of our life should be enough for us to have worked the will of the Gentiles, while we walked in licentiousness, lusts, drunkenness, revelings, drinkings, and unlawful idolatries.
4 Bhasebha eje pamhwoyefwa abhombe embombo ne pamo nabho enya bhayanga amabhibhi huli mwe.
They are amazed at this―that you run not with them into the same excess of debauchery, and they revile you.
5 Bhafumye ebazye hwamwene yalihani alonje bhabhali bhomi na bhafwe.
These shall give an account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6 Huje endombelo zyaga ngwilwe nabhene bhabhafwye hata nkashile bhali bhalongwilwe alongane nombele gwabho noshi abhatu aje bhawezye akhale alingane no Ngolobhi no mpepo.
For this cause, indeed, even those who have died had the gospel preached to them, that though they might be judged according to the will of men in the flesh, yet they might live according to the will of God in the spirit.
7 Humalezwo owembombo zyoti uhwenza, nantele mubhanje nenjele zyazili shiza, nantele mubhanje nahatu ahiza hahali neshiputo shenyu.
But the end of all things is at hand; be sober-minded, therefore, and watchful, that you may pray.
8 Sazisele anongwa zyoti mubhe nadigane hulugano oolwa Mtuomo alenganeje olugano saluhwaza akwikule amabhibhi agabhanje.
But, above all things, have fervent love one for another; for love will cover a multitude of sins.
9 Lanji opezi hwamtu omo nantele muganje anungunishe.
Be hospitable, one to another, without murmuring.
10 Nashi omo owenyo shahambilile eshi paji, itumilinashahwavwane nashi abhemelezi abhiza ashipaji eshinji zyazifumile wene no Ngolobhi.
As each has received a gift, minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 Nashi omtu nkagavwe ebhanje nashi enguvu zya pehwilwa no Ngolobhi, eshi humbombo zyoti Ongolobhi ayande ahwiozvye ashelele oYesu Kilisti otutumu ne nguvu zili na mwene wila wila. Amina (aiōn g165)
If any man speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God: if any man acts as a deacon, let him do this as from the strength which God supplies; that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory and strength from age to age. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Mwaganwi muganjebhazye endengo zyasaga obhalenjele nashi ahatu aeshijenyi hahtumilanga hafumila hulimwi.
Beloved, be not amazed at the fiery trial that has come on you to try you, as if some strange thing had happened to you.
13 Nantele kadili shammanya apate ahwele we humayemba gakilisti. Songwaji shisangwaji nantele owigule owa otutumu wakwe.
But, inasmuch as you are partakers of the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice, that, at the revelation of his glory, you may also be exceedingly joyful.
14 Nkashememli gwilwe hitawa lwa Kilisti, osailwe hulengane no mpepo awangolobhi akhaka pamwanya palimwe.
If you are reproached on account of Christ, happy are you: for the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you. On their part he is reviled, but on your part he is glorified:
15 Nantele agajibhe wawonti yayemba nashi obudi, omwibhayabhomba embimbi nantele ahwibhovye nembombo ezaabhaje.
for no one of you should suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.
16 Nantele nkashele amtu ayemba nashi Okilisti, ganje lole esoni nantele tutumele Ongolobhi hwitawa elyo.
But if any one suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God on this account.
17 Nantele esiku zifishile hulongwe ahwandile mungumba eyaNgolobhi. Nkashele ehwandila hulitii ehwandila hulitii ehaibhawe hwabhala bha sebhahwogopa idombelelo zwa Ngolobhi?
For the time has come that judgment must begin at the house of God; and if it begin first at us, what shall be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God?
18 Nkashe huwali afwolwa ashilile amamkhame shaibhawele hwantu waswe wilwoliowe mbibhi?”
And if the righteous man is hardly saved, where shall the ungodly man and the sinner appear?
19 Bhonti bhaghayemba afumilane no Ngolobhi khabhishe omoyo gobho hwa bhombi omwiza ohubhabho mbanje amiza.
Wherefore, let those also who suffer according to the will of God, by doing good, commit their souls to him as to a faithful Creator.
