Petere I 5
1 Mme jaanong, ke laya lona bagolwane ba phuthego. Le nna, ke mogolwane; ka matlho a me ke bonye Keresete a a swa mo mokgorong; le nna, ke tlaa tlhakanela kgalalelo le Tlotlo ya gagwe fa a bowa. Bagolwane ka nna, se ke kopo ya me mo go lona:
The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
2 otlang letsomane la Modimo; le tlhokomeleng, e seng ka go patika; e seng ka tsholofelo ya go tsaya sepe mo go lone, mme e leng ka ntlha ya gore lo tlhagafaletse go direla Morena.
Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
3 Lo se nne badipa, mme lo ba goge ka go nna sekao se se siameng.
Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
4 Mme e tlaa re fa Modisa yo Mogolo a tla, tuelo ya lona e tlaa nna seabe se se senang bokhutlo mo kgalalelong le mo tlotlong ya gagwe.
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive a crown of glory that fades not away.
5 Lona makawana, lo nne kutlo mo go ba bagolwane. Mme lotlhe lo direlane ka mewa e e kokobetseng, gonne Modimo o naya ba ba ikokobetsang masego a a faphegileng, mme o tlhabana le ba ba ikgogomosang.
Likewise, you younger, submit yourselves to the elder. Yes, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble.
6 Fa lo ikokobetsa fa tlase ga seatla se segolo sa Modimo, mo lobakeng lwa One lo lo siameng o tlaa lo tsholetsa.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Mo letleng go tsaya dingongorego tsotlhe tsa lona le dipabalelo, gonne o lo akanyetsa ka metlha yotlhe o bile o lebeletse sengwe le sengwe se se lo amang.
Casting all your care on him; for he cares for you.
8 Itlhokomeleng, lo lebeleleng ditlhaselo tse di tswang kwa go Satane, mmaba, wa lona yo mogolo. O potologa jaaka tau e e dumang e e bolailweng ke tlala, o batla mongwe go mo gagolaka.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Nitamang fa a tlhasela. Ikanyeng Morena; lo bo lo gakologelwe gore Bakeresete ba bangwe mo tikologong ya lefatshe le bone ba raletse dipogiso tse.
Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brothers that are in the world.
10 Fa lo sena go boga ka lobakanyana, Modimo wa rona yo o tletseng bopelo-tlhomogi ka Keresete, o tlaa lo naya kgalalelo ya One e e sa khutleng. One ka boone o tlaa lo tsholetsa, mme o lo tlise, o lo thatafatse go gaisa ka metlha. (aiōnios g166)
But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you. (aiōnios g166)
To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Ke lo romelela lokwalo lo lo khutshwane lo ka bopelonomi jwa ga Silefano yo, mo mogopolong wa me, e leng mokaulengwe yo o ikanyegang thata. Ke solofela gore ke lo kgothaditse ka lokwalo lo gonne ke lo neile bosupi jwa boammaaruri ka fa Modimo o segofatsang ka teng. Se ke se lo boleletseng fa se tshwanetse go lo thusa go nitama mo loratong lwa One.
By Silvanus, a faithful brother to you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein you stand.
13 Phuthego e e mono Roma, ke mokaulengwe wa lona mo Moreneng, e a lo dumedisa; le morwaake Mareko.
The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, salutes you; and so does Marcus my son.
14 Dumedisanang ka mabogo go supa lorato lwa Sekeresete. A kagiso e nne le lona lotlhe ba lo mo go Keresete. Ke nna, Petere
Greet you one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
