1 Petro 5
1 Kuvakuru vari pakati penyu, ndinokumbira hangu somukuru pamwe chete nemi, nechapupu chamatambudziko aKristu, uye somumwewo achazogovana navo mukubwinya kuchazoratidzwa ndichiti:
The elders who are among you I exhort, I, the fellow elder and witness of Christ's sufferings; also the partaker of the glory that is to be revealed:
2 Ivai vafudzi veboka raMwari riri pasi penyu, muchibata savatariri, musingazviiti nokuroveredzwa, asi nokuda kwokuti munoda, sezvinodikanwa naMwari kuti muve; musingakariri mari, asi muchishingaira pakushanda;
Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers willingly, not under compulsion; not for dishonest gain but freely;
3 musingaremedzi vaya vakaiswa kwamuri, asi muve muenzaniso kuboka.
neither as lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
4 Uye mufudzi mukuru paachaonekwa, muchapiwa korona yokubwinya isingaori.
And when the Chief Shepherd is revealed you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
5 Saizvozvo, imi majaya, muzviise pasi pavaya vari vakuru. Imi mose, pfekai kuzvininipisa kuno mumwe nomumwe, nokuti, “Mwari anodzivisa vanozvikudza asi anopa nyasha kuna vanozvininipisa.”
Similarly, you younger ones, submit to elders. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility, submitting to one another, because ‘God resists proud ones, but gives grace to humble ones.’
6 Naizvozvo, muzvininipise, pasi poruoko rune simba rwaMwari, kuti agokusimudzirai munguva yakafanira.
Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time;
7 Kandai paari kufunganya kwenyu kwose nokuti anokuchengetai.
casting all your care upon Him, because He does the caring for you.
8 Muzvidzore uye musvinure. Muvengi wenyu dhiabhori anofamba-famba achiomba seshumba inotsvaka waingadya.
Be sober, stay alert! Because your enemy the devil, like a roaring lion, is circling you, looking for someone to devour;
9 Mumudzivise, mumire makasimba mukutenda, nokuti munoziva kuti hama dzenyu munyika yose dziri kutambudzika saizvozvo.
withstand him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
10 Uye Mwari wenyasha dzose, akakudanirai kukubwinya kwake kusingaperi muna Kristu, mushure mokumbotambudzika kwechinguva chiduku, achakuponesai uye achakusimbisai, agokumisai zvakasimba uye agokutsigisai. (aiōnios g166)
Now may the God of all grace, who called you into His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, Himself perfect, establish, strengthen and ground you—after you have suffered a while. (aiōnios g166)
To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Ndakakunyorerai muchidimbu ndichibatsirwa naSirasi hama yangu yakatendeka, ndichikukurudzirai uye ndichipupura kuti idzi ndidzo nyasha dzaMwari dzechokwadi. Mirai makasimba madziri.
I have written to you briefly by our faithful brother Silvanus, as I consider him, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.
13 Kereke iri muBhabhironi, yakasanangurwa pamwe chete nemi, inokukwazisai, uye mwanakomana wangu Mako anokukwazisaiwo.
The jointly elect sister in ‘Babylon’ greets you; and so does Mark, my son.
14 Kwazisanai nokutsvodana kworudo. Rugare kwamuri mose muri muna Kristu.
Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you, all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
