1 Petro 5
1 Me a meyɛ ɔpanyin no, mitu asafo no mu mpanyimfo fo se, meyɛ Kristo amanehunu no ho dansefo nti nʼanuonyam a wɔbɛda no adi no bɛka me bi. Mitu mo fo se,
The elders which are among you, I beseech which am also an elder, and a witnesse of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shalbe reueiled,
2 monyɛ nguan a Onyankopɔn de wɔn ahyɛ mo nsa no nguanhwɛfo na monhwɛ wɔn yiye sɛnea Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ moyɛ no. Monyɛ adwuma a monhwehwɛ ho akatua biara, na mmom pɛ ara na mopɛ sɛ moyɛ. Adom ne asomdwoe mmunkam mo so.
Feede the flocke of God, which dependeth vpon you, caring for it not by constraint, but willingly: not for filthy lucre, but of a ready minde:
3 Monnhyɛ wɔn a wɔde wɔn ahyɛ mo nsa no so, na mmom monyɛ nhwɛso pa mma nguan no.
Not as though ye were lords ouer Gods heritage, but that yee may bee ensamples to the flocke.
4 Na sɛ Oguanhwɛfo panyin no ba a, wɔbɛma mo anuonyam ahenkyɛw a ɛrempa da.
And when that chiefe shepheard shall appeare, ye shall receiue an incorruptible crowne of glory.
5 Saa ara na ɛsɛ sɛ mo a moyɛ mmabun no, mobrɛ mo ho ase ma mpanyimfo. Mo nyinaa mfa ahobrɛase nkataanim mmɔ mo asen na monsom mo ho mo ho efisɛ Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Onyankopɔn siw ahantanfo kwan na ɔdom ahobrɛasefo.”
Likewise ye yonger, submit your selues vnto the elders, and submit your selues euery man, one to another: decke your selues inwardly in lowlinesse of minde: for God resisteth the proude, and giueth grace to the humble.
6 Enti mommrɛ mo ho ase nhyɛ Onyankopɔn nsa a tumi wɔ mu no ase, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛma mo so wɔ bere a ɛsɛ mu.
Humble your selues therefore vnder the mightie hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.
7 Momfa mo dadwen ne mo haw nyinaa nto ne so, efisɛ odwen mo ho.
Cast all your care on him: for he careth for you.
8 Mo ani nna hɔ; monwɛn, efisɛ mo tamfo bonsam no nam sɛ gyata a ɔbobɔ mu hwehwɛ nea obenya no amene.
Be sober, and watch: for your aduersarie the deuil as a roaring lyon walketh about, seeking whom he may deuoure:
9 Momfa gyidi nnyina pintinn nsiw no kwan efisɛ munim sɛ mo nuanom agyidifo a wɔwɔ wiase mmaa nyinaa rehu saa amane koro no ara bi.
Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren which are in the world.
10 Na adom nyinaa Nyankopɔn a wafrɛ mo aba ne daa anuonyam mu wɔ Kristo mu no, ɔno ara na sɛ munya hu amane kakra ansa a, obesiesie mo pɛ; ɔbɛma mo ase atim; ɔbɛhyɛ mo den; ɔbɛma moanya nnyinaso. (aiōnios g166)
And the God of all grace, which hath called vs vnto his eternall glory by Christ Iesus, after that ye haue suffered a litle, make you perfite, confirme, strengthen and stablish you. (aiōnios g166)
To him be glory and dominion for euer and euer, Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Me nua ogyidini Silwano na ɔboaa me ma mekyerɛw saa krataa tiaa yi. Mepɛ sɛ mehyɛ mo nkuran na midi adanse se eyi yɛ Onyankopɔn adom kann. Munnyina mu dennen.
By Syluanus a faithfull brother vnto you, as I suppose, haue I written briefly, exhorting and testifying how that this is the true grace of God, wherein ye stand.
13 Asafo a Onyankopɔn ayi wɔ Babilonia no ne me ba Marko kyia mo.
The Church that is at Babylon elected together with you, saluteth you, and Marcus my sonne.
14 Momfa ɔdɔ atuuyɛ wɔ Kristo mu nkyiakyia mo ho mo ho. Asomdwoe nka mo a mowɔ Kristo mu no nyinaa.
Greete yee one another with the kisse of loue. Peace be with you all which are in Christ Iesus, Amen.
