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 therefore among you I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, who am also a partaker of the glory that shall 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.
Tend the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not of constraint, but willingly, according unto God; nor yet for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
3 Na uwa so nafo cikilari kitene na lenge na udi libya mine ba, ama so imon in yenju kiti mine.
neither as lording it over the charge allotted to you, but making yourselves ensamples to the flock.
4 Asa Idurso ugo na nan libya we, ima seru litap ligogong nin salin nshaltu.
And when the chief Shepherd shall be manifested, ye shall receive the crown of glory that fadeth not away.
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 unto the elder. Yea, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to serve one another: for God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.
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 due time;
7 Toltunong imon nsu mine vat nabunume, bara a ceo kibinai nati mine.
casting all your anxiety upon him, because he careth for 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 sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh 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 withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are 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)
And the God of all grace, who called you unto his eternal glory in Christ, after that ye have suffered a little while, shall himself perfect, stablish, strengthen you. (aiōnios g166)
To him [be] the dominion for ever and ever. 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, our faithful brother, as I account [him], I have written unto you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God: stand ye fast therein.
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 in Babylon, elect together with [you], saluteth you; and [so doth] Mark 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 unto you all that are in Christ.
