1 Bitrus 4

1 Bara na Kristi na neo nan nya kidowo, nanere anung wang teren nibinai bara uniu uremme, vat nle na ana neo nan nya kidowo ana surto nan nya kulapi.

Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

2 Na unit une do nin lissosin nan nya ntok kidowo ba, ama na nya nsu Kutelle bara ngisin nayiri nlau me.

that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

3 Bara kubi na kata Alumai gbardang nworu isu imon ile na ina di nin sun sue, upiziru nawani sa nanilime uhem, kuma niyizi, uso nadadu, avu ananzang, nin son toro, a udortun ncil.

For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatries:

4 Iwa kpiliza id imon ipesse na anung din su ile imone nan ghinu ba, inam wa su uliru unanzang nati mine

wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of [you]:

5 ko gha ma batuzu imon ile na asu kiti nle na ama su ushara nanan lai nin na nan kul.

who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead.

6 Bara ile imonere iwa su uwaze kiti nale na ina kuzu, ina su ina malu isu nani ushara nan nya nidowo mine nafo anit, inan su lissosin nafo usu Nruhu Kutelle.

For unto this end was the gospel preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

7 Imalin nimone vat din cinu. Bara nani nonko ibinai mine, sun ukpiluzu mine nin nibinai nisheu bara nlira mine.

But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore of sound mind, and be sober unto prayer:

8 A imon dutu vat, yitan nin su ugip kiti linuawana vat, bara na usu di nin su u yinin a lapi namong ba.

above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins:

9 Yitan nin su nsesu namara nan nya mine na nin kugbullu ba.

using hospitality one to another without murmuring:

10 Nafo na ko uyeme mine na seru ufillu, sun katwa mun nan nya nati mine, nafo a wakilai Kutelle acine na ina seru ufillu ngangang gbardang kiti Kutelle.

according as each hath received a gift, ministering it among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;

11 Andi umong nsu uliru na uso nafo agbulang nliru Kutelle; andi umong din su katwa, na asu nafo nin likara na Kutelleri din nizu, bara nan nya nimon vat, na Kutelle se ngongong unuzu Yesu Kristi. Ngongong nin likara di unme vat sa ligan. Uso nani. (aiōn g165)

if any man speaketh, [speaking] as it were oracles of God; if any man ministereth, [ministering] as of the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

12 Anan su nayi ning, na iwa yene imon fiuwari imusun nle uniu ukan ghe na udi kiti mine bara udumun minuari nafo imomon inanzaghari na se minu.

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial among you, which cometh upon you to prove you, as though a strange thing happened unto you:

13 Nafo na ligan gbardang in yinnu nniu in Kristife di, su liburi libo, bara inan su liburi libo nin nayi abo nan nya in yenu ngongong me.

but insomuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exceeding joy.

14 Asa izogo fi bara lissan Kristi, udi nin mari, bara Uruhu ngogong nin Nruhu Kutelle sossin litife.

If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed [are ye]; because the [Spirit] of glory and the Spirit of God resteth upon you.

15 Na umong mine nwa neo nafo unan molsu nanit ba.

For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other men’s matters:

16 Vat nani, asa umong mine din niu nafo unan dortu Kutelle, na awa lanza ncin ba, ama na ati Kutelle gongong nan nya lisa me.

but if [a man suffer] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name.

17 Bara kubi nda na ushara ma cizunu nan nya Kilari Kutelle. Iwa din woru ucizina nin ghiruk, iyaghari ma yitu liyissin na lenge na idi nin yinnu nin liru Kutelle ba?

For the time [is come] for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if [it begin] first at us, what [shall be] the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?

18 Andi fa unan katwa kacine mase utucu bara uniuwari, iyaghari ma yiti liyissin nnan sali fiue Kutelle nin nan kulapi?

And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?

19 Bara nani na alenge na idin niu nafo usu Kutelle ni tilai mine kiti nnan makeke ugegeme ai yita non nimon icine.

Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator.
