1 Petro 4
1 Lino, ulwakuva u Kilisite alyapumusivue kim'bili, najumue mugudaghe muvufumbue vuno alyale navwo umwene. Juno ikuguda vwimila imhumuko isa pa iisi apa, asilekile inyivi.
Since, then, Christ has suffered in the flesh, you also must arm yourselves with a determination to do the same--because he who has suffered in the flesh has done with sin--
2 Unsiki ghwinu ghuno ghusighile kukukala pa iisi apa, mulekaghe kuvingilila uvunoghelua vwa mu iisi, looli muvingililaghe isavughane vwa Nguluve.
that in future you may spend the rest of your earthly lives, governed not by human passions, but by the will of God.
3 Ulwakuva unsiki ghuno ghukilile ghukwilile kuvomba sino vilonda pivomba avapanji— uvuvwafu, uvunoghelua vwa m'bili, uvughaasi, kuva nifikulukulu ifya kipanji ifyakulia na kunywaa kyongo nakukwimika ifihwani.
For you have given time enough in the past to the doing of the things which the Gentiles delight in-- pursuing, as you did, a course of habitual licence, debauchery, hard drinking, noisy revelry, drunkenness and unholy image-worship.
4 Avapanji vikuvadegha vule vivono lino namuva palikimo navene kuvomba isio palikimo na Vene, muulio vikuvaligha.
At this they are astonished--that you do not run into the same excess of profligacy as they do; and they speak abusively of you.
5 Mu uluo, vilikujoleka kwajuno iling'hanisie kuuti ka vumi na vafue.
But they will have to give account to Him who stands ready to pronounce judgement on the living and the dead.
6 Mu uluo, fyenambe imola inofu jikapulisivue na kuvafue, kuuti nambe valyahighilue kufua kim'bili, mungufu isa Mhepo Mwimike, vwumi ndavule alivuo uNguluve.
For it is with this end in view that the Good News was proclaimed even to some who were dead, that they may be judged, as all mankind will be judged, in the body, but may be living a godly life in the spirit.
7 Uvusililo vwa finu fyoni vuli pipi pikwisa. Mu uluo, mulolelelaghe nakuva Mason kange mufunyaghe ndavule lunoghile.
But the end of all things is now close at hand: therefore be sober-minded and temperate, so that you may give yourselves to prayer.
8 Ikivaha tasi kusoni, mughimbaghe kughanana nu mwoojo ghuoni ulwakuva ulughano nalulonda kufwikula uvuhosi vwa
Above all continue to love one another fervently, for love throws a veil over a multitude of faults.
9 vaange. Muvisaghe vakola nujunge nu mwoojo umbalafu.
Extend ungrudging hospitality towards one another.
10 U Nguluve avapelile nujunge kipelua kyake, liino nujunge avombelaghe ikipelua ikio nulwakuvatanga avaange, mu uluo muva valoleli vanofu vafipelua ifio fino fili pa pinga.
Whatever be the gifts which each has received, you must use them for one another's benefit, as good stewards of God's many-sided kindness.
11 U munhu juno ipulisia, amasio ghake ghavisaghe ndavule agha Nguluve, ghwope juno itanga avanhu, avatangaghe mungufu sino apelilua nu Nguluve, kuuti u Nguluve aghinisivuaghe mu soon vwimila u Yesu Kilisite. Uvuvaha ni ngufu fili nu mwenemwene fighono fyoni. Amen. (aiōn g165)
If any one preaches, let it be as uttering God's truth; if any one renders a service to others, let it be in the strength which God supplies; so that in everything glory may be given to God in the name of Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the might to the Ages of the Ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Vaghanike vaango, ingelo sino sikwisa kukuvaghela namungavalighaghe hwene kinu kighesi, kwekuuti ikiinu ikighesi kino kyahumilagha kulyumue.
Dear friends, do not be surprised at finding that that scorching flame of persecution is raging among you to put you to the test--as though some surprising thing were accidentally happening to you.
13 Looli muhovokaghe ulwakuva muanyana kupumuka ndavule aliyah pumuike uKilisite, mu uluo muliva nulukelo uluvaha fijo, alava ivoneka nuvuvaha vwake.
On the contrary, in the degree that you share in the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice, so that at the unveiling of His glory you may also rejoice with triumphant gladness.
14 Nave mulighilue vwimila kukum'bingilila u Kilisite, mufunyilue, ulwa Mhepo Mwimike ughwa Nguluve juno amemile kulyumue.
You are to be envied, if you are being reproached for bearing the name of Christ; for in that case the Spirit of glory-- even the Spirit of God--is resting upon you.
15 Looli napeangavisaghe umunhu ghweni juno ipumusivua mulwakuva m'budi, mhiiji, nyamabatu, nambenambe kukwingilila imbombo isa vaange.
But let not one of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evil-doer, or as a spy upon other people's business.
16 Neke nave umunhu ipumusivua ulwakuva N'kilisite, nangavonaghe soni, looli mulitavua ilio amuginiaghe uNguluve.
If, however, any one suffers because he is a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God for being permitted to bear that name.
17 Ulwakuva unsiki ughwa vuhighi ghufikile kutengulila munyumba ija Nguluve. nave uvuhighi vutengula tasia kulyusue, pe kuvona navikwitika imola inofu luva ndani?
For the time has come for judgement to begin, and to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who reject God's Good News?
18 Kange nave “Umunhu umugholofu ipokua kukila inalamu, pe luliva ndani kwa munhu juno naikwitika kange muhosi?”
And if it is difficult even for a righteous man to be saved, what will become of irreligious men and sinners?
19 Lino, voni vano vipumuka vwimila kuvomba is vughane vwa Nguluve, vaghendelelaghe kuvomba inofu, vivike mu vuloleleli vwa mpeli ghwave unnufu.
Therefore also, let those who are suffering in accordance with the will of God entrust their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator.
