1 Peter 4
1 Sumbu Klisto kamona ziphasi mu nituꞌandi, buna bika beno mamveno luba mayindu momo; bila mutu wowo wumona ziphasi mu nitu andi widi wuvambana ayi masumu
Seeing therefore Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same thought, that he, who hath mortified the flesh, hath ceased from sin;
2 mu diambu kabika buela zingila, mu ndambu yi bilumbu bisiedi yandi mu nitu andi, boso buididi zitsatu zi batu vayi boso buididi luzolo lu Nzambi.
that he should no longer live the rest of his time in the flesh according to the lusts of men, but after the will of God.
3 Bila mu bilumbu biviokidi, luviokisidi thangu yiwombo mu vanganga luzolo lu Bapakanu bu lukivana mu kitsuza, mu zitsatu zimbimbi, mu kolo malavu, mu phulu yi dia ayi yi nua, mu sambilanga bitumba.
For the time past of our life is sufficient for us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, walking in lasciviousness, inordinate desires, excess of wine, revellings, drunkenness, and abominable idolatries:
4 Bukiedika, buabu balembo simina bu lunkambu buela zawula yawu mu luzingu lu kitsuza; balembo ku luvuezi.
in which they think it strange that ye run not with them into the same excess of riot, and therefore speak evil of you:
5 Vayi bela vumbula kipholo kiawu kuidi mutu wowo widi wukubama mu sambisa batu bobo badi moyo ayi bafua.
who shall give an account to Him, who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6 Kiawu kioki bila Nsamu Wumboti wunlongolo kuidi batu bobo bafua, mu diambu bu basambusulu mu nsuni banga batu bobo badi moyo, babaka bu zingila mu Pheve boso buididi Nzambi yi moyo.
For to this end was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged indeed according to men in the flesh, but might live according to God in the spirit.
7 Tsukulu yi mambu moso yeka nduka. Diawu lubika ba phulu yi dia ayi yi nua vayi luleka nkielo mu sambila.
But the end of all things draws nigh: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer:
8 Vayi tuamina mambu moso luzolasananga beno na beno mu bukiedika, bila luzolo lueti fuka masumu mawombo.
having above all things fervent love to each other; for love will cover a multitude of sins.
9 Luyakula bumboti banzenza mu kambu maniunguta.
Be hospitable one to another, without grudging;
10 Bika kadika mutu wutambula dikaba di kipheve kasadila diawu mu diambu di sadisa batu bankaka, banga nkebi wumboti wu nlemvo wu Nzambi; nlemvo wowo widi mu ziphila mu phila.
as every one hath received a gift, imparting it to each other, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 Enati mutu wulembo yoluka buna bika kayoluka banga mutu wunyoluka mambu ma Nzambi. Enati mutu wulembo sadila bankaka buna bika kasadila mu zingolo zivana Nzambi muingi mu mambu moso Nzambi kakemboso mu diambu di Yesu Klisto, bila niandi vuidi nkembo ayi lulendo mu zikhama zi zikhamazi mimvu. Amen! (aiōn g165)
If any one speak, let it be as declaring the oracles of God: if any one minister, let it be as from the power which God affordeth him: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Bakundi bama, lubika simina mu diambu di zithotolo mu ziphasi ziozilulembo moni banga ti beno lubuilulu diambu di tsisi.
Beloved, be not surprised at the fiery trial coming upon you, which is to try you, as if some strange thing befel you:
13 Vayi bika lumona khini bila lunnata ndambu yi ziphasi zi Klisto muingi beno mamveno lumona khini mu thangu kela monika mu nkemboꞌandi woso.
but rejoice in that ye are partakers in the sufferings of Christ; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may also rejoice with exceeding joy.
14 Enati balembo lufingi mu diambu di dizina di Klisto buna bika lumona khinibila pheve yi nkembo ayi Pheve yi Nzambi yidi mu beno.
If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: and though as to them He is blasphemed, yet as to you He is glorified.
15 Bika mutu mu beno kabika mona phasi bu kavondidi mutu voti bu kayibidi, voti bu kavengi mambimbi voti bu kakotidi mu mambu mangana.
But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as a malefactor, or as an intermeddler with other people's affairs.
16 Vayi disi diambu dimuena tsoni ko enati mutu wulembo moni phasi bila kadi “nkua Klisto”. Muaki bika kakembisa Nzambi mu diambu di dizina diodidi nkua Klisto.
But if any suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God herein.
17 Bila thangu yifueni yifueti tona tsambusulu, yifueti tonina mu dikanda di bana ba Nzambi. Buna tala, enati kuidi beto kuntonina tsambusulu beni, buna buevi buela bela tsukulu yi batu bobo beti kambu tumukina Nsamu wumboti wu Nzambi e?
For the time is coming when judgement is to begin at the house of God: and if at us first, what will be the end of those that obey not the gospel of God?
18 Enati mutu wusonga wumvukila mu ziphasi ziwombo, buna buevi buela bela mutu wumbimbi ayi wu masumu e?
And if the righteous be saved with difficulty, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19 Diawu batu bobo balembo moni ziphasi mu luzolo lu Nzambi, buna bika bakiyekula kuidi mvangi, niandi widi wukuikama; ayi bika batatamana vanganga mamboti.
Wherefore let them, that suffer according to the will of God, commit their souls in well-doing to Him as to a faithful Creator.
