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:
Me a meyɛ ɔpanyin no, mitu asafo no mu mpanyimfo fo se, meyɛ Kristo amanehunu no ho dansefo nti nʼanuonyam a wɔbɛda no adi no bɛka me bi. Mitu mo fo se,
2 shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
monyɛ nguan a Onyankopɔn de wɔn ahyɛ mo nsa no nguanhwɛfo na monhwɛ wɔn yiye sɛnea Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ moyɛ no. Monyɛ adwuma a monhwehwɛ ho akatua biara, na mmom pɛ ara na mopɛ sɛ moyɛ. Adom ne asomdwoe mmunkam mo so.
3 not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
Monnhyɛ wɔn a wɔde wɔn ahyɛ mo nsa no so, na mmom monyɛ nhwɛso pa mma nguan no.
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.
Na sɛ Oguanhwɛfo panyin no ba a, wɔbɛma mo anuonyam ahenkyɛw a ɛrempa da.
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.”
Saa ara na ɛsɛ sɛ mo a moyɛ mmabun no, mobrɛ mo ho ase ma mpanyimfo. Mo nyinaa mfa ahobrɛase nkataanim mmɔ mo asen na monsom mo ho mo ho efisɛ Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Onyankopɔn siw ahantanfo kwan na ɔdom ahobrɛasefo.”
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
Enti mommrɛ mo ho ase nhyɛ Onyankopɔn nsa a tumi wɔ mu no ase, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛma mo so wɔ bere a ɛsɛ mu.
7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
Momfa mo dadwen ne mo haw nyinaa nto ne so, efisɛ odwen mo ho.
8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Mo ani nna hɔ; monwɛn, efisɛ mo tamfo bonsam no nam sɛ gyata a ɔbobɔ mu hwehwɛ nea obenya no amene.
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
Momfa gyidi nnyina pintinn nsiw no kwan efisɛ munim sɛ mo nuanom agyidifo a wɔwɔ wiase mmaa nyinaa rehu saa amane koro no ara bi.
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)
Na adom nyinaa Nyankopɔn a wafrɛ mo aba ne daa anuonyam mu wɔ Kristo mu no, ɔno ara na sɛ munya hu amane kakra ansa a, obesiesie mo pɛ; ɔbɛma mo ase atim; ɔbɛhyɛ mo den; ɔbɛma moanya nnyinaso. (aiōnios g166)
Ɔno na tumi wɔ no daa daa. 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.
Me nua ogyidini Silwano na ɔboaa me ma mekyerɛw saa krataa tiaa yi. Mepɛ sɛ mehyɛ mo nkuran na midi adanse se eyi yɛ Onyankopɔn adom kann. Munnyina mu dennen.
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
Asafo a Onyankopɔn ayi wɔ Babilonia no ne me ba Marko kyia mo.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Momfa ɔdɔ atuuyɛ wɔ Kristo mu nkyiakyia mo ho mo ho. Asomdwoe nka mo a mowɔ Kristo mu no nyinaa.
