1 Bitrus 4
1 Bara na Kristi na neo nan nya kidowo, nanere anung wang teren nibinai bara uniu uremme, vat nle na ana neo nan nya kidowo ana surto nan nya kulapi.
Christ therefore having suffered in the flesh, be you also armed with the same thought: for he that hath suffered in the flesh, hath ceased from sins:
2 Na unit une do nin lissosin nan nya ntok kidowo ba, ama na nya nsu Kutelle bara ngisin nayiri nlau me.
That now he may live the rest of his time in the flesh, not after the desires of men, but according to the will of God.
3 Bara kubi na kata Alumai gbardang nworu isu imon ile na ina di nin sun sue, upiziru nawani sa nanilime uhem, kuma niyizi, uso nadadu, avu ananzang, nin son toro, a udortun ncil.
For the time past is sufficient to have fulfilled the will of the Gentiles, for them who have walked in riotousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and unlawful worshipping of idols.
4 Iwa kpiliza id imon ipesse na anung din su ile imone nan ghinu ba, inam wa su uliru unanzang nati mine
Wherein they think it strange, that you run not with them into the same confusion of riotousness, speaking evil of you.
5 ko gha ma batuzu imon ile na asu kiti nle na ama su ushara nanan lai nin na nan kul.
Who shall render account to him, who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6 Bara ile imonere iwa su uwaze kiti nale na ina kuzu, ina su ina malu isu nani ushara nan nya nidowo mine nafo anit, inan su lissosin nafo usu Nruhu Kutelle.
For, for this cause was the gospel preached also to the dead: that they might be judged indeed according to men, in the flesh; but may live according to God, in the Spirit.
7 Imalin nimone vat din cinu. Bara nani nonko ibinai mine, sun ukpiluzu mine nin nibinai nisheu bara nlira mine.
But the end of all is at hand. Be prudent therefore, and watch in prayers.
8 A imon dutu vat, yitan nin su ugip kiti linuawana vat, bara na usu di nin su u yinin a lapi namong ba.
But before all things have a constant mutual charity among yourselves: for charity covereth a multitude of sins.
9 Yitan nin su nsesu namara nan nya mine na nin kugbullu ba.
Using hospitality one towards another, without murmuring,
10 Nafo na ko uyeme mine na seru ufillu, sun katwa mun nan nya nati mine, nafo a wakilai Kutelle acine na ina seru ufillu ngangang gbardang kiti Kutelle.
As every man hath received grace, ministering the same one to another: as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 Andi umong nsu uliru na uso nafo agbulang nliru Kutelle; andi umong din su katwa, na asu nafo nin likara na Kutelleri din nizu, bara nan nya nimon vat, na Kutelle se ngongong unuzu Yesu Kristi. Ngongong nin likara di unme vat sa ligan. Uso nani. (aiōn g165)
If any man speak, let him speak, as the words of God. If any man minister, let him do it, as of the power, which God administereth: that in all things God may be honoured through Jesus Christ: to whom is glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Anan su nayi ning, na iwa yene imon fiuwari imusun nle uniu ukan ghe na udi kiti mine bara udumun minuari nafo imomon inanzaghari na se minu.
Dearly beloved, think not strange the burning heat which is to try you, as if some new thing happened to you;
13 Nafo na ligan gbardang in yinnu nniu in Kristife di, su liburi libo, bara inan su liburi libo nin nayi abo nan nya in yenu ngongong me.
But if you partake of the sufferings of Christ, rejoice that when his glory shall be revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.
14 Asa izogo fi bara lissan Kristi, udi nin mari, bara Uruhu ngogong nin Nruhu Kutelle sossin litife.
If you be reproached for the name of Christ, you shall be blessed: for that which is of the honour, glory, and power of God, and that which is his Spirit, resteth upon you.
15 Na umong mine nwa neo nafo unan molsu nanit ba.
But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a railer, or a coveter of other men’s things.
16 Vat nani, asa umong mine din niu nafo unan dortu Kutelle, na awa lanza ncin ba, ama na ati Kutelle gongong nan nya lisa me.
But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.
17 Bara kubi nda na ushara ma cizunu nan nya Kilari Kutelle. Iwa din woru ucizina nin ghiruk, iyaghari ma yitu liyissin na lenge na idi nin yinnu nin liru Kutelle ba?
For the time is, that judgment should begin at the house of God. And if first at us, what shall be the end of them that believe not the gospel of God?
18 Andi fa unan katwa kacine mase utucu bara uniuwari, iyaghari ma yiti liyissin nnan sali fiue Kutelle nin nan kulapi?
And if the just man shall scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19 Bara nani na alenge na idin niu nafo usu Kutelle ni tilai mine kiti nnan makeke ugegeme ai yita non nimon icine.
Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God, commend their souls in good deeds to the faithful Creator.
