1 Butros 4
1 Mar haddii Masiixu jidhka ku xanuunsaday, idinkuna sidaas oo kale isu diyaariya, idinkoo isku maan ah; maxaa yeelay, kii jidhka ku xanuunsaday waa ka joogsaday dembiga,
Therefore, because Christ suffered physically, you also must think the way that he did [when he was willing to suffer], because those who suffer [because of belonging to Jesus] have stopped sinning [the way they used to sin].
2 si wakhtiga idiin hadhay oo aad jidhka ku nooshihiin aydnaan damacyada dadka mar dambe ugu noolaan, laakiinse aad ugu noolaataan doonista Ilaah.
As a result, during their remaining time here on earth, they do not do the things that sinful people desire to do, but instead they do the things that God wants them to do.
3 Waayo, waxaa idinku filan wakhtigii hore oo aad doonistii dadka aan Ilaah aaminin samayn jirteen, markii aad ku socon jirteen nejisnimo, iyo damacyadii jidhka, iyo sakhraannimo, iyo rabshad, iyo khamricabbid, iyo sanamcaabudid xaaraan ah.
[I say that to you] because [SAR] you have already spent too much of your time [here on earth] doing what the people who do not know God like to do. In the past you committed all kinds of sexually immoral acts [DOU], you got drunk and then participated in (orgies/wild parties) and carousing/revelry, and you [worshipped] idols, which is very displeasing to God.
4 Oo markii aydnaan iyaga u raacin nejisnimadaas badan, way idinla yaabaan oo way idin caayaan.
[Because you used to do those things], [your friends] are surprised that you do not join them any more when they participate in that kind of wild behavior [that] ([is rushing to/will quickly]) [destroy them like] [MET] a flood. As a result, they say evil things about you.
5 Iyagu waxay faleen waxay kala xisaabtami doonaan kan diyaarka u ah inuu xukumo kuwa nool iyo kuwa dhintayba.
But [God] is ready to judge the people who are living [now] and the people who have died, and he is the one who will decide whether he approves of what each of them has done.
6 Waayo, taas aawadeed injiilka waxaa lagu wacdiyey xataa kuwii dhintay in iyaga jidhka lagu xukumo sida dadka, laakiinse ay ruuxa ku noolaadaan sida Ilaah.
That is the reason why the message [about Christ] was preached {[people] preached the message [about Christ]} to believers who have now died. [That message was preached to them] in order that even though [sinful] people might judge them [and say that they are guilty], God’s Spirit would [enable them to] live [eternally].
7 Haddaba wax walba dhammaadkoodu wuu dhow yahay, sidaas daraaddeed digtoonaada, oo tukashada u feeyignaada.
It is almost the time when everything on this earth will come to an end. Therefore, keep thinking sensibly/reasonably and control what you think [DOU], so that you can pray [clearly].
8 Wax walba hortood idinku aad isu jeclaada, maxaa yeelay, jacaylku wuxuu qariyaa dembiyo faro badan.
Most important of all, love each other earnestly/wholeheartedly, because if we love others [PRS], we will just ignore many of the sinful things that [they do to us].
9 Ismartiqaada gunuunacla'aan.
Provide food and a place to sleep for those [who come to your community], [and do it] without complaining.
10 Sida mid waluba u helay hadiyad, idinku isu adeega, sida wakiillo wanaagsan oo helay nimcada Ilaah ee badan ee kala cayncaynka ah.
Believers should all use the spiritual gifts that God has given them to serve others. They should manage/use well the various gifts that God has kindly given them.
11 Haddii nin hadlo, ha u hadlo sidii isagoo ku hadlaya ereyga Ilaah; haddii nin adeegona, ha u adeego siduu Ilaah xoogga u siiyo, in wax walbaba Ilaah ku ammaanmo Ciise Masiix, kaasoo weligiis iyo weligiisba leh ammaanta iyo dowladnimadaba. Aamiin. (aiōn g165)
Those who speak [to the congregation] should do that as though they are speaking the [very] words of God. Those who do kind things to others should do it with the strength that God gives them, in order that God may be honored by all this {that all this may honor God} as Jesus Christ [enables us to do it. I pray that we will] praise [God] (OR, [Jesus]) and allow him [to rule over us] forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
12 Gacaliyayaalow, ha la yaabina jirrabaadda dabka ah oo idinku dhex dhacday in laydiin tijaabiyo sida iyadoo ay idinku dhaceen wax la yaab lihi.
You whom I love, do not be surprised about the painful things that you are suffering [because you belong to Christ]. [Those] things are [testing you as metals are tested by people putting them] in a fire. Do not think that something strange is happening to you.
13 Laakiinse sidaad u tihiin kuwo ka qayb qaatay waxyaalaha Masiixu ku xanuunsaday, farxa, inaad farxad aad u weyn ku faraxdaan marka ammaantiisa la muujiyo.
Instead, rejoice that you are suffering the same kinds of things that Christ endured. Rejoice when [you suffer], in order that you may also be very glad [DOU] when Christ returns and reveals how glorious/wonderful he is.
14 Haddii magaca Masiix aawadiis laydin caayo, waad barakaysan tihiin, maxaa yeelay, waxaa idin dul jooga Ruuxa ammaanta oo ah Ruuxa Ilaah.
If you are insulted {If [people] insult you} because you believe in Christ [MTY], [God is] pleased with you, because it shows that the Spirit of God, the Spirit who [reveals how] great [God is], lives within you.
15 Haddaba midkiinna yuusan u xanuunsan sida isagoo ah gacankudhiigle, ama tuug, ama sharfale, ama mid faraggeliya axwaasha dadka kale.
If you suffer, do not let that suffering be the result of your being a murderer or a thief or as a result of doing some other evil thing, or as a result of interfering in someone else’s affairs.
16 Laakiin haddii nin u xanuunsado sida isagoo Masiixi ah, yaanu ceebsan, laakiinse Ilaah ha ku ammaano magacan.
But if you suffer because of being a Christian, do not be ashamed about it. Instead, praise God that you are suffering because of belonging to Christ [MTY].
17 Waayo, waxaa la gaadhay wakhtigii dadka Ilaah xukunka laga bilaabi lahaa, oo haddii innaga marka hore laynaga bilaabo, kuwa aan injiilka Ilaah addeecin muxuu aakhirkoodu ahaan doonaa?
I say that, because it is now time for God to begin judging people, and first he will judge those who belong [MTY] to him. Since he will judge us believers first, think about the terrible things that will happen to [RHQ] those who do not obey the good message that comes from him!
18 Haddaba haddii kan xaqa ahu si dhib leh ku badbaado, xaggee bay ka muuqan doonaan cibaadalaawaha iyo dembiluhu?
[That will be as it] is written in the Scriptures, [Many] righteous people [will have to suffer] many [difficult trials before going to heaven]. So ungodly and sinful people will surely have to suffer [much severe punishment from God]!
19 Sidaas daraaddeed kuwa doonista Ilaah u xanuunsada, iyagoo samafalaya, naftooda ammaano ha ugu dhiibeen Abuuraha aaminka ah.
Therefore, those who suffer because of its being God’s will that they suffer [because of being Christians] should commit themselves to God, the one who created them and the one who always does what he promises to do. And they should continue to do what is right.
