1 Petulo 4

1 Nipele pakuŵa Kilisito ŵasawiche mu chiilu, nomwe ŵakwe nlilimbisye nkuganisya iyoyo mpela yatite kuŵa jwelejo, pakuŵa jwelejo jwasawiche mu chiilu, alekangene ni sambi.

Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

2 Ni mmwe ŵakwe chitandile sambano, mmoŵa genu gagasigele pachilambo pano, kasintama kwa kusikuya tama syangalumbana syampagwile nasyo, nambo ntame kwa unonyelo wa Akunnungu.

that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

3 Pakuŵa katema kakapite ka umi wetu mwakwete katema kakaleu kakupanganya indu yaakupanganya ŵandu ŵangakwamanyilila Akunnungu. Mwatemi mu chigwagwa ni tama syangalumbana ni indimba yakutendekasya soni ni kupopela inyago yaikwachima Akunnungu.

For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatries:

4 Sambano, ŵele ŵandu ŵangakwamanya Akunnungu akunsimonga ŵanyamwe pakummona ndi ngankukamulangana nawo sooni mu ipanganyo yao ya soni, nipele akuntukananga.

wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of [you]:

5 Nambo ŵele ŵandu chachiliŵalanga achinsyene indu yao paujo pa Akunnungu, ŵakutama chile kwalamula ŵajumi ni ŵawe.

who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.

6 Lyele lili ligongo lyati Ngani Jambone jalalichilwe ilaila kwa ŵawe, kuti alamulikwe mu iilu yao yakuti akusachilwa kuwa nti ŵandu ŵane. Ngani Jambone ji jalalichilwe kwa ŵanyawo kuti mu utame wao wa chimbumu akole umi mpela Akunnungu yatite kuŵa ŵajumi.

For unto this end was the gospel preached even to the dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

7 Nambo mbesi ja indu yose jiŵandichile. Nkusachilwa mme ni lunda, nlitawale mwachinsyene ni kupopela.

But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore of sound mind, and be sober unto prayer:

8 Kwipunda yose nnonyelane jwine ni jwine kwa ntima wenu wose, pakuŵa unonyelo ukuunichila sambi syejinji.

above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins:

9 Mpochelangane jwine ni jwine pangadandaula.

using hospitality one to another without murmuring:

10 Jwalijose akusachilwa atumichileje ntulilo wakwe wapegwilwe ni Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya ŵane. Naga akutenda yeleyo chaŵe jwakulindilila jwambone jwa ntulilo wauliwose umpegwilwe ni Akunnungu.

according as each hath received a gift, ministering it among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;

11 Jwakulalichila jwalijose, akusachilwa kuutyosya utenga wa Akunnungu. Ni jwakutumichila, atumichile malinga ni machili gapegwilwe ni Akunnungu, kuti ajinichilwe Akunnungu mu yose kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito. Ukulu ni ukombole uŵe kwa ŵelewo moŵa gose pangali mbesi ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Eloo. (aiōn g165)

if any man speaketh, [speaking] as it were oracles of God; if any man ministereth, [ministering] as of the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

12 Ŵakunonyelwa, nkakusimonga kupotekwa ligongo lya kulinjikwa kwakukulungwa. Kasimmalanga kuti chili chindu chachilendo kukwenu.

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial among you, which cometh upon you to prove you, as though a strange thing happened unto you:

13 Nambo nsengwanje pakuŵa nkusyoŵekana mmasausyo gao Kilisito, kuti nkombole kusengwa kwakupunda katema pachiunukulikwe ukulu wao.

but insomuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exceeding joy.

14 Nkwete upile iŵaga ŵandu chantukane kwa ligongo lya Kilisito, chelechi chikulosya kuti Mbumu jwa ukulu, yani Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, akutama nomwe.

If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed [are ye]; because the [Spirit] of glory and the Spirit of God resteth upon you.

15 Akapagwa jwalijose mwenumwe jwakuŵajilwa kusauka ligongo ndi jwakuulaga pane jwawii pane jwakutenda yangalumbana ni jwakulijinjisya mmasengo ga ŵane.

For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other men’s matters:

16 Nambo iŵaga nkusauka ligongo ndi jwakunkuya Kilisito, ikantenda soni, nambo mwakusye Akunnungu pakuŵa mmwe ndi jwakwe Kilisito.

but if [a man suffer] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name.

17 Pakuŵa katema ka ulamusi kaiche, ni ulamusi wo ukutanda kwa ŵandu wakwe Akunnungu asyene. Ni kulamulikwa ko iŵaga kukutanda kukwetu uwe, mbesi jakwe chijiŵe uli kwa ŵandu ŵangakujitichisya Ngani Jambone ja Akunnungu.

For the time [is come] for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if [it begin] first at us, what [shall be] the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?

18 Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, “Iŵaga ili yakulimba kwa mundu jwali jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu kukulupuswa, chiŵe uli kwa jwangakwalamba Akunnungu ni jwali ni sambi?”

And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?

19 Nipele, ŵele ŵakusauka ligongo lya kusaka kwao Akunnungu, akusachilwa aliŵiche achinsyene mmakono mwa Akunnungu jwaali Jwakugumba jwao jwakukulupilichika, ni kwendelechela kupanganya yambone.

Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator.
