1 Petro 5
1 Nili nu ludwesi navaghogholo vano valinumue, une, nili mughogholo jumonga muvanave nilimwoleleli ghwa mumuko sa Kilisite, Kane nili umo ghwa vano vihuvila kukwupila uvuvaha unsiki ghuno ghukisa.
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 Mu uluo, nikuvakangasia umwoojo, kange nikuvasuma mudimaghe nakulolela vunono ikipugha kya Nguluve kino mulyapelilue. Nakwekuti muvombaghe uluo mulwa kumilisivua, looli muvombaghe numwojo um'balafu ndavule ilonda u Nguluve. Mulolaghe, kisila kusighana indalama sa soni, looli nulughano.
Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers willingly, not under compulsion; not for dishonest gain but freely;
3 Namungavikaghe kuvakuva vatemi mukipugha kind mupelilue, ulwene muvisaghe kihwanikisio kinofu mu vulongosi vwinu.
neither as lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
4 Pepano undimi umbaha iliva ikwisa, mulikwupila ingeela ijavuvaha jino najinangika.
And when the Chief Shepherd is revealed you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
5 Najumue vasoleka, muvalongosiaghe avagojo vinu. Umwe mweni, muvisaghe nulujisio kange nujunge antangaghe unjake, ulwakuva u Nguluve ikuvakana avanyalughinio, ikuvasungukila avanyalujisio.
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 Lino mujisiaghe muvisaghe mumavoka gha Nguluve unyangufu kuuti avaghinie unsiki ghuno ghunoghile.
Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time;
7 Muvikaghe indalama sinu kwa mwenu, ulwakuva ikuvavikila mwojo.
casting all your care upon Him, because He does the caring for you.
8 Mulolaghe nakuva maso. Umulugu ghwinu, setano, hwene nyalupala inyanjala, jikumlonda umunhu jindemule.
Be sober, stay alert! Because your enemy the devil, like a roaring lion, is circling you, looking for someone to devour;
9 Mwimaghe kingalungalu kyaake. Muvisaghe nungufu mu lwitiko lwinu. Mukagula kuuti avanyalukolo vinu vaano vali muiisi vikilila imumuko ndavule isi.
withstand him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
10 Neke kya mupumuike munsiki n'debe, u Nguluve ghwa vumofu vwoni, juno alyavakemelile mwingile muvuvaha vwake uvwauvwa kuvusila kusila mwa Kilisite, ikuvanosia nakuvapela ingufu. (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 Nkumwitikisia u Silwano hwene nyalukolo umugholofu, kange nivalembile umue ikalata ifupi iji kukilila kwa mwene. Nikuvakangasia na kukuvoleka kuuti sino nilembile lwe lusungu lwa kyang'ani lwa Nguluve. Musindamilaghe n'kate mwamwene.
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 Avitiki vano valimulikaja lya Babeli, vano vasalulilue numwe, vikuvahungila, nu umwanango uMarko ikuvahungila.
The jointly elect sister in ‘Babylon’ greets you; and so does Mark, my son.
14 Muhungilanaghe ni saavu ija lughano. Ulutengano luvisaghe numue mwevano mulin'kate mwa Kilisite
Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you, all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
