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:
Buabu ndieka vana ndambu yi zithumunu kuidi batu bobo badi bakulutumu beno. Minu mamvama ndidi nkulutu banga bawu ayi ndidi mbangi mu ziphasi zi Klisto ayi ndiela fubakana mu nkembo wowo weka nduka monokoso.
2 shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
Banga minsungi mi mamemi, ludikilanga bumboti nkangu wowo Nzambi kaluyekudila. Lusunganga wawu bumboti, bika sia ti mu kuiku vayi mu luzolo; bika sia ti mu diambu di tomba ndandu vayi mu luzolo lu ntima.
3 not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
Lubika monisa kipfumu kuidi batu bobo Nzambi kaluyekudila vayi banu kifuani kuidi nkangu wu mamemi
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.
muingi thangu Pfumu yi minsungi mi mamemi kela kuiza, luba tambula budu ki nkembo, kioki kimvembudilanga ko.
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.”
A beno baleki, lutumukina bakulutu. Bika kadika mutu buna luidikakikulula va meso ma ndiandi, bila disonama ti: Nzambi weti kakumukina bankua luniemo vayi weti vana nlemvo andi kuidi batu bobo beti kukikulula.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
Diawu bika lukikulula ku tsi koko ku lulendo lu Nzambi muingi kalunangika mu thangu yifuana.
7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
Bika lunyekudila mayindu meno bila niandi veka wukulubanzilanga.
8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Lubika ba phulu dia ayi nua vayi luleka nkielo bila mbeni eno satana wulembo lufiedi banga khosi yinkunga, wulembo tombi nani kafueti mina.
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
Bu lukunnuanisa, bika luba bakinda mu minu bila luzebi ti ziawu ziozi ziphasi zimmona bakhomba zieno badi va nza.
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)
Vayi bu luela mona ziphasi mu ndambu bilumbu, Nzambi yi nlemvo, mutu wowo wulutela mu diambu luzaba nkemboꞌandi wuka wusuki; nkembowowo kamonikisa mu Yesu Klisto wela kulufuanisa, ku lukindisa, ku luvana zingolo ayi wela ku lutedimisa mu kambu nikuka. (aiōnios g166)
Bika lulendo lubanga kuidi niandi mu zithangu zioso. 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.
Mu lusadusu lu Siluvani, khomba yi kuikama, ndilusonikini nkanda wawumu bukhufi mu diambu di kulukindisa ayi ku lumonisa mu bukiedika ti nlemvowowo widi mu beno widi nlemvo wu kiedika wu Nzambi.
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
Dibundu didi ku Babiloni, diodi disobolo va kimosi ayi beno, dilufidisidi mboti. Muanꞌama Malako mamvandi wulufidisidi mboti.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Bika lufifasana besi ki kikhomba. Ndembama kuidi beno boso luidi bakangama mu Klisto.
