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.

If then the Messiah hath suffered for you in the flesh, do ye also arm yourselves with the same mind: for every one that is dead in his body, hath ceased from all sins,

2 Na unit une do nin lissosin nan nya ntok kidowo ba, ama na nya nsu Kutelle bara ngisin nayiri nlau me.

that he may no longer be alive to the lusts of men, while he is in the body, but only to do the pleasure 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 that is past was enough, when ye wrought the pleasure of the profane, in dissoluteness, and in ebriety, and in lasciviousness, and in revelling, and in the worship of demons.

4 Iwa kpiliza id imon ipesse na anung din su ile imone nan ghinu ba, inam wa su uliru unanzang nati mine

And lo, they now wonder, and reproach you, because ye revel not with them in the same former dissoluteness;

5 ko gha ma batuzu imon ile na asu kiti nle na ama su ushara nanan lai nin na nan kul.

who must give account to God, who is 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 on this account the announcement is made also to the dead, that they may be judged as persons in the flesh, and 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 things approacheth: therefore be sober, and be wakeful for prayer.

8 A imon dutu vat, yitan nin su ugip kiti linuawana vat, bara na usu di nin su u yinin a lapi namong ba.

And above all things, have fervent love one towards another; for love covereth a multitude of sins.

9 Yitan nin su nsesu namara nan nya mine na nin kugbullu ba.

And be ye compassionate to strangers, 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.

And let each of you minister to his associates the gift which he hath received from God; as being 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)

Whoever will speak, let him speak as the word of God: and whoever will minister, as of the ability that God hath given him: so that in all ye do, God may be glorified, through Jesus the Messiah; to whom belongeth glory, and honor, 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.

My beloved, be not dismayed at the trials that befall you, as if some strange thing had come upon you; for these things are for your probation.

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 rejoice, that ye participate in the sufferings of the Messiah, that so ye may also rejoice and exult at the revelation of his glory.

14 Asa izogo fi bara lissan Kristi, udi nin mari, bara Uruhu ngogong nin Nruhu Kutelle sossin litife.

And if ye are reproached on account of the name of the Messiah, happy are ye: for the glorious Spirit of God resteth upon you.

15 Na umong mine nwa neo nafo unan molsu nanit ba.

Only let none of you suffer, as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer.

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 he suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on account of this 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 it is the time when judgment will commence with the house of God: and if it commence with us, what will be the end of those who obey 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 righteous scarcely liveth, where will the ungodly and the sinner be found!

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 who suffer according to the pleasure of God, commend their souls to him in well doing, as to a faithful Creator.
