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:
Nazali sik’oyo kolendisa bakambi ya Lingomba, oyo bazali kati na bino, pamba te ngai mpe nazali mokambi lokola bango, nazali motatoli ya bapasi ya Klisto mpe nakozwa nkembo oyo ekomonisama.
2 shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
Lokola babateli bibwele, bobatelaka malamu etonga oyo Nzambe apesi bino mokumba ya kokamba. Bosalaka bongo kolanda mokano ya Nzambe: na kotindika te, kasi na komipesa mobimba; na makanisi te ya konduka mbongo, kasi na posa makasi ya kosalela bango;
3 not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
na makanisi te ya kokonza bato oyo bapesameli bino, kasi na kozalaka bandakisa mpo na etonga.
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.
Bongo tango Mokonzi ya babateli bibwele akoya, bokozwa motole ya nkembo oyo ekotikala kobungisa kitoko na yango te.
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.”
Ndenge moko mpe, bino bilenge, botosaka bakambi na bino ya Lingomba, bolata komikitisa kati na bino, pamba te Makomi elobi: « Nzambe atelemelaka bato ya lolendo, kasi atalisaka ngolu na Ye epai ya bato oyo bamikitisaka. »
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
Yango wana, bomikitisaka na se ya loboko ya nguya ya Nzambe mpo ete atombola bino na tango oyo ekoki.
7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
Bobwaka epai na Ye makambo nyonso oyo etungisaka bino, pamba te Ye nde abatelaka bino.
8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Bolekisaka ndelo te na bizaleli na bino mpe botambolaka na ekenge, pamba te monguna na bino, Satana, atambolaka zingazinga na bino lokola nkosi oyo ezali konguluma mpe koluka moto ya kolia.
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
Botelemelaka ye mpe boyikaka mpiko kati na kondima, pamba te boyebi ete bandeko na bino, oyo bapalangana kati na mokili bazali mpe komona bapasi lokola bino.
10 But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. (aiōnios g166)
Kasi sima na bino komona pasi mpo na mwa tango moke, Nzambe ya ngolu nyonso, oyo abenga bino na nkembo na Ye ya seko kati na Yesu-Klisto, akokomisa bino bato ya kokoka, akolendisa bino, akopesa bino makasi mpe akotelemisa bino ngwi. (aiōnios g166)
Tika ete nguya ezonga epai na Ye mpo na libela na libela! Amen! (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.
Na lisungi ya Silasi oyo azali ndeko ya solo, nakomeli bino mokanda oyo na mokuse mpo na kolendisa bino mpe kolakisa bino ete ngolu oyo bokangami na yango ezali ngolu ya solo ya Nzambe. Bopikama kati na yango.
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
Lingomba ya babulami oyo bazali na Babiloni epesi bino mbote. Mwana na ngai, Malako, apesi mpe bino mbote.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Bopesanaka bino na bino mbote, na beze ya bondeko. Tika ete kimia ezala na bino nyonso oyo bozali kati na Klisto!
