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.
Christ then having suffered in the flesh, do ye also arm yourselves 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 may no longer live the remaining time in the flesh after the lusts of men, but after 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 sufficient is the time past to have wrought the will of the gentiles, when ye walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revelings, 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
at which they are astonished that ye run not with them to 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 to this end was the gospel preached also to the dead, that they might indeed be judged according to men in the flesh, but might 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 sober, and watch 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.
And above all things have fervent love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins.
9 Yitan nin su nsesu namara nan nya mine na nin kugbullu ba.
Be hospitable to one another without grudging.
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 one hath received a gift, minister the same to one another, 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 one speak, let him speak as uttering the oracles of God; if any minister, let him do it as from the ability which God giveth; that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be 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, be not surprised at the fiery trial which is taking place among you to prove you, as though a strange thing were befalling 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, in so far as ye share in Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that also at the manifestation of his glory 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, happy are ye for the Spirit of glory and 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 busybody 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 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; but if it first begin with us, what will be the end of those who 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 scarcely is saved, where shall the ungodly and the 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 those who suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well-doing, as to a faithful Creator.
