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.
Therefore I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also 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.
shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
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 those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
4 Asa Idurso ugo na nan libya we, ima seru litap ligogong nin salin nshaltu.
When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade 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, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility and subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives 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 worries 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 and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, 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.
Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing 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)
But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. (aiōnios g166)
To him be the glory and the power 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.
Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you 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 who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does 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 one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
