< 1 Peter 5 >

1 Therefore I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:
Enibhelembeleja abhakaluka bhanu bhalimo mwime, anye, unu nili mukaluka wejabho no mubhambasi wa jinyako ja Kristo, noyo ali musangi mwikusho lya bhunu bhwakabhulisibhwe.
2 shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
Kulwejo, enibhatamo omwoyo emwe bhakaluka, nimulilebhe liijo lya Nyamuanga linu libhalimo. Nimulilole, atali ati kunsonga kubheile, mbe nawe kunsonga omuligila kutyo, okulubhana na Nyamuanga. Nimulilolele, atali kwo kwenda jimpilya ja jinswalo, mbe nawe kwo kwenda.
3 not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
Mwasiga kwikola bhakulu ingulu ya bhanu bhanu bhali emwalo yo bhwangalisi bhwemwe, mbe nawe nimubhe chijejekanyo kwiijo.
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
Anu Nyamuanga omukulu alibhonekana, mulilamila olutenga lwa likusho lunu lutakubhusha bhugusi bhwacho.
5 Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility and subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
Nko kutyo, nemwe abhasigaji abhatoto, nimubholobhele abhakulu bhemwe. Emwe bhona, nimubhufwale obhwolobhe no kufulubhendelana emwe abhene kwa bhene, kulwo kubha Nyamuanga kabhalema abhe chigundu, mbe nawe kabhayana echigongo bhanu abholobhe.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
Kulwejo mwolobhega emwalo yo kubhoko kwa Nyamuanga kunu kuli kuyali koleleki ati abhenamushe kwo mwanya gwaye.
7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
Nimumuteleko jinyako jemwe ingulu yaye, kulwo kubha kabhegana.
8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Mbe nimubhe no bhwenge, nimubhe bhetegelesha. Omusoko wemwe ulya, lishetani, ali lwa Intale inu eibhuta kenu nitebha, niyenda omunu wo kutemula.
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
Nimwimelegulu mutasikene nage. Nimubhega na managa mulikilisha lyemwe. Nimumenyega ati abhasu bhanu bhali muchalo bhajibhwene jinyako lwejo.
10 But may the God of all grace, who called you to his consummate (aiōnios g166) glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
Mbe kukilawo ejo ejo kunyaka kwo mwanya mutoto, Nyamuanga we chigongo chona, unu abhabhilikiye mwikusho lya kajanende mu Kristo, kabhakumisha, kabhakomesha no kubhakumanya amanaga. (aiōnios g166)
11 To him be the power for the ages (aiōn g165) of the ages (aiōn g165). Amen.
Obhuinga bhubhe ku mwene Kajanende na kajanende. Amina (aiōn g165)
12 Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.
Enimwenda Silwano kuti wasu mwiikanyibhwa, na nibhandikiye emwe mu chifuyi okulabha ku mwene. Enibhatulamo omwoyo na enibhambalila ati chinu jandikilwe ni chigongo che chimali cha Nyamuanga. Nimwimelegulu mu mwene.
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
Abhekilisha bhanu bhali Bhabheli, bhanu bhasolelwe amwi nemwe, abhabhakesha.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Nimukeshanyega bhuli umwi kwo kunyunyana kwe lyenda. No mulembe gubhe kwimwe bhanu muli mu Kristo.
