< 1 Petro 5 >
1 Me a meyɛ ɔpanin no, metu asafo no mu mpanimfoɔ fo sɛ, meyɛ Kristo amanehunu no ho adanseɛ enti nʼanimuonyam a ɛbɛba no bɛka me. Metu mo fo sɛ,
I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:
2 monyɛ nnwan a Onyankopɔn de wɔn ahyɛ mo nsa no nnwanhwɛfoɔ na monhwɛ wɔn yie sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ moyɛ no. Monyɛ adwuma a monhwehwɛ ho akatua biara, na mmom, pɛ ara na mopɛ sɛ moyɛ.
Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily, as God wants; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
3 Monnhyɛ wɔn a wɔde wɔn ahyɛ mo nsa no so, na mmom monyɛ nhwɛsoɔ pa mma nnwan no.
neither as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
4 Na sɛ Odwanhwɛfoɔ panin no ba a, wɔbɛma mo animuonyam ahenkyɛ a ɛho nsɛe da.
When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
5 Saa ara na ɛsɛ sɛ mmabunu, mobrɛ mo ho ase ma mpanimfoɔ. Mo nyinaa mfa ahobrɛaseɛ nkatanimu mmɔ mo asene na monsom mo ho mo ho ɛfiri sɛ, Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Onyankopɔn si ahantanfoɔ ɛkwan na ɔdom ahobrɛasefoɔ.”
Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility, towards one another; for God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
6 Enti mommrɛ mo ho ase nhyɛ Onyankopɔn nsa a tumi wɔ mu no ase sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛma mo so wɔ ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ mu.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;
7 Momfa mo dadwene ne mo haw nyinaa nto ne so ɛfiri sɛ, ɔdwene mo ho.
casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
8 Mo ani nna hɔ; monwɛn ɛfiri sɛ, mo ɔtamfoɔ bonsam no nam sɛ gyata a ɔbobɔm hwehwɛ deɛ ɔbɛnya no amene.
Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
9 Momfa gyidie nnyina pintinn nsi no ɛkwan ɛfiri sɛ, monim sɛ mo nuanom agyidifoɔ a wɔwɔ ewiase afanan nyinaa rehunu saa amane korɔ no ara bi.
Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
10 Na adom nyinaa Onyankopɔn a wafrɛ mo aba ne daa animuonyam no mu Kristo mu no, ɔno ara na sɛ monya hunu amane kakra ansa a, ɔbɛsiesie mo pɛ; ɔbɛma mo ase atim; ɔbɛhyɛ mo den; ɔbɛma mo anya nnyinasoɔ. (aiōnios )
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen and establish you. (aiōnios )
11 Ɔno na tumi wɔ no daa daa. Amen. (aiōn )
To him be the power forever. Amen. (aiōn )
12 Me nua ogyidini Silwano na ɔboaa me maa metwerɛɛ saa krataa tiawa yi. Mepɛ sɛ mehyɛ mo nkuran na medi adanseɛ sɛ, yei yɛ Onyankopɔn adom kann. Monnyina mu dennen.
Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.
13 Asafo a Onyankopɔn ayi wɔ Babilonia no ne me ba Marko kyea mo.
She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you; and so does Mark, my son.
14 Momfa ɔdɔ atuuyɛ wɔ Kristo mu nkyeakyea mo ho mo ho. Asomdwoeɛ nka mo a mowɔ Kristo mu no nyinaa.
Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Christ.
