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 who are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and 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.
Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight [of it], not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but from 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 being lords over [God's] heritage, but being examples to the flock.
4 Asa Idurso ugo na nan libya we, ima seru litap ligogong nin salin nshaltu.
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a 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, submit yourselves to the elder. Yes, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and 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 care upon him; for 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 vigilant; because 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 resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that 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)
But the God of all grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle [you]. (aiōnios g166)
To him [be] glory and 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, a faithful brother to you, as I suppose, I have written 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.
The [church that is] at Babylon, elected 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.
Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace [be] with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
