1 OPetro 4
1 Nantele amwene O Kilisti ayembele nubele, hwikwatizi eshi zijilo zyazili nanshizila. Zyayembele ashilile obele ayepene ne mbibhi.
Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves with the same resolve, because anyone who has suffered in his body is done with sin.
2 Omtu ono sagahwedelela nantele olwizyo nenyonyo ezyebele, shasongwelwe Ongolobhe, husiku zyakwe zyazisangeye.
Consequently, he does not live out his remaining time on earth for human passions, but for the will of God.
3 zyazibhalile ziyiye hulenganye embombo zyasaga bhaputa bhahaza abhombe embibhi, nebibhi omweezi, olyavi eshikulukulu eshabha sebhaputa nezwa huzimu zyuzivisya.
For you have spent enough time in the past carrying out the same desires as the Gentiles: living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and detestable idolatry.
4 Bhasebha eje pamhwoyefwa abhombe embombo ne pamo nabho enya bhayanga amabhibhi huli mwe.
Because of this, they consider it strange of you not to plunge with them into the same flood of reckless indiscretion, and they heap abuse on you.
5 Bhafumye ebazye hwamwene yalihani alonje bhabhali bhomi na bhafwe.
But they will have to give an account to Him who 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.
That is why the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
7 Humalezwo owembombo zyoti uhwenza, nantele mubhanje nenjele zyazili shiza, nantele mubhanje nahatu ahiza hahali neshiputo shenyu.
The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear-minded and sober, so that you can pray.
8 Sazisele anongwa zyoti mubhe nadigane hulugano oolwa Mtuomo alenganeje olugano saluhwaza akwikule amabhibhi agabhanje.
Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
9 Lanji opezi hwamtu omo nantele muganje anungunishe.
Show hospitality to one another without complaining.
10 Nashi omo owenyo shahambilile eshi paji, itumilinashahwavwane nashi abhemelezi abhiza ashipaji eshinji zyazifumile wene no Ngolobhi.
As good stewards of the manifold grace of God, each of you should use whatever gift he has received to serve one another.
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 anyone speaks, he should speak as one conveying the words of God. If anyone serves, he should serve with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Mwaganwi muganjebhazye endengo zyasaga obhalenjele nashi ahatu aeshijenyi hahtumilanga hafumila hulimwi.
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you, as though something strange were happening to you.
13 Nantele kadili shammanya apate ahwele we humayemba gakilisti. Songwaji shisangwaji nantele owigule owa otutumu wakwe.
But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory.
14 Nkashememli gwilwe hitawa lwa Kilisti, osailwe hulengane no mpepo awangolobhi akhaka pamwanya palimwe.
If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
15 Nantele agajibhe wawonti yayemba nashi obudi, omwibhayabhomba embimbi nantele ahwibhovye nembombo ezaabhaje.
Indeed, none of you should suffer as a murderer or thief or wrongdoer, or even as a meddler.
16 Nantele nkashele amtu ayemba nashi Okilisti, ganje lole esoni nantele tutumele Ongolobhi hwitawa elyo.
But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God that you bear that name.
17 Nantele esiku zifishile hulongwe ahwandile mungumba eyaNgolobhi. Nkashele ehwandila hulitii ehwandila hulitii ehaibhawe hwabhala bha sebhahwogopa idombelelo zwa Ngolobhi?
For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who disobey the gospel of God?
18 Nkashe huwali afwolwa ashilile amamkhame shaibhawele hwantu waswe wilwoliowe mbibhi?”
And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
19 Bhonti bhaghayemba afumilane no Ngolobhi khabhishe omoyo gobho hwa bhombi omwiza ohubhabho mbanje amiza.
So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should entrust their souls to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
