1 Bitrus 5
1 Ndin wunu na kune ale na idi nan nya mine atuf, meng wang ukuneari nafo anunghe a ushaida nniu in Kristi, a tutung, yita nan nya ngongong mongo na mima dak.
The elders which [are] among you I exhort, who [am their] fellow-elder and witness of the sufferings of the Christ, who also [am] partaker of the glory about to be revealed:
2 Bara nani, ndin wunnun minu atuf a kune, sun libya nnono Kutelle na idi nan nya mine. Yenjen nani gegeme, na bara uso minu gbas, ama bara ita nibinai ku, nafo usu Kutelle. Yenje nani gegeme, na bara ikurfung nsalin kidegen ba, ama nin yinnu.
shepherd the flock of God which [is] among you, exercising oversight, not by necessity, but willingly; not for base gain, but readily;
3 Na uwa so nafo cikilari kitene na lenge na udi libya mine ba, ama so imon in yenju kiti mine.
not as lording it over your possessions, but being models for the flock.
4 Asa Idurso ugo na nan libya we, ima seru litap ligogong nin salin nshaltu.
And when the chief shepherd is manifested ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.
5 Nan nya libo lirume, anung uzaman, nonkon atimine kiti na kukune. Vat mine teren atimine nin nibinai nisheu isu ati mine nitwa, bara Kutelle nari unan tikunan liti ama unan nonku liti din se ubunu Kutelle.
Likewise [ye] younger, be subject to [the] elder, and all of you bind on humility towards one another; for God sets himself against [the] proud, but to [the] humble gives grace.
6 Bara nani nonkon atimine kadas ncara likara Kutelle mboti anan ghatinminu kubin cin dak.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in [the due] time;
7 Toltunong imon nsu mine vat nabunume, bara a ceo kibinai nati mine.
having cast all your care upon him, for he cares about you.
8 Yitan nin nonku nati, yitan nin yenju. Unan nivira mine kugbergenue -masin nafo zaka unan kuculu adin galu akilo buu, npiru nlenge na ama li.
Be vigilant, watch. Your adversary [the] devil as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour.
9 Yisinan ghe nin nakara. Yitan nin nakara nan nya in yinnu sa uyenu mine. Yinnon nworu nuana mine nan nyan yie din tecu ayi nin nimusun nniu uremere.
Whom resist, stedfast in faith, knowing that the selfsame sufferings are accomplished in your brotherhood which [is] in [the] world.
10 Kimal na ima niu nin kubi bat, Kutelle nvat nbolu nanit, alenge na na yicila minu nan nya ngongong me m sali ligang nan nyan Kristi, ma kulu minu, ma ciu minu, amnin ni munu akara. (aiōnios g166)
But the God of all grace who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, when ye have suffered for a little while, himself shall make perfect, stablish, strengthen, ground: (aiōnios g166)
to him [be] the glory and the might for the ages of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Meng yira Silvanisu ku nafo gwana nciu kibinai, nmini na nyertin minu bat unuzu kit me, Nwunun minu atuf nminin nduro minu nworu imon ilenge na nna nyerti minu kidegen nbolu kutelleari. Yisinan kitene ni ning.
By Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I suppose, I have written to you briefly; exhorting and testifying that this is [the] true grace of God in which ye stand.
13 Kishono kanga na kidi in Babila, ulenge na ina fere ghe ligowe nan ghinu, din lissu minu; a Marku, usaun nin, din lissu minu.
She that is elected with [you] in Babylon salutes you, and Marcus my son.
14 Lisson ati mine nin nilip in nyukunu tinnu un su. na lissosin lisheu so nan ghinu vat anung na idi nan nyan Kristi.
Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all who [are] in Christ.
