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.
I am exhorting the elders among you, I, who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and am also one who will share in the glory that will 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.
Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God would have you serve—not for shameful profit but eagerly.
3 Na uwa so nafo cikilari kitene na lenge na udi libya mine ba, ama so imon in yenju kiti mine.
Do not act as a master over the people who are in your care. Instead, be an example to the flock.
4 Asa Idurso ugo na nan libya we, ima seru litap ligogong nin salin nshaltu.
Then when the Chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive an 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.
In the same way, you younger men, submit to the older men. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility and serve one another. For God resists the proud, but he gives grace to the humble.
6 Bara nani nonkon atimine kadas ncara likara Kutelle mboti anan ghatinminu kubin cin dak.
Therefore humble yourselves under God's mighty hand so that he may lift you up in due time.
7 Toltunong imon nsu mine vat nabunume, bara a ceo kibinai nati mine.
Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares 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, is stalking around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to 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.
Stand against him. Be strong in your faith. You know that your community of believers that is in the world is enduring the same sufferings.
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)
After you suffer for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will perfect you, establish you, and strengthen you. (aiōnios g166)
To him be the dominion forever 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.
I regard Silvanus as a faithful brother, and I have written to you briefly through him. I am exhorting you and I am testifying to you that what I have written is the true grace of God. Stand in it.
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.
The woman who is in Babylon, who is chosen together with you, greets you. Also Mark, my son, greets you.
14 Lisson ati mine nin nilip in nyukunu tinnu un su. na lissosin lisheu so nan ghinu vat anung na idi nan nyan Kristi.
Greet one another with a kiss of love. May peace be to you all who are in Christ.
