1 Peter 5
1 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:
Ndĩ na ũhoro ngwenda gũthaitha athuuri a Kanitha arĩa marĩ hamwe na inyuĩ, ndĩ mũthuuri wa Kanitha o tao, na ndĩ mũira wa kũnyariirwo gwa Kristũ, o na ndĩ ũmwe wa gũkaagaĩrwo riiri ũrĩa ũkaaguũranĩrio:
2 shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
Atĩrĩrĩ, tuĩkai arĩithi a rũũru rwa Ngai rũrĩa mwĩhokeirwo, mũgĩtungataga mũrĩ arori, na ti tondũ wa kũringĩrĩrio, no nĩ ũndũ wa kwĩyendera, o ta ũrĩa Ngai endaga mũtuĩke; mũtegũkorokera mbeeca, no mũtungatage mũrĩ na kĩyo mũno;
3 not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
mũtigetue anene a andũ arĩa mwĩhokeirwo, no mũtuĩke cionereria njega kũrĩ rũũru rũu.
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mũrĩithi Ũrĩa Mũnene akaaguũranĩrio-rĩ, nĩmũkaheo thũmbĩ ya riiri ĩrĩa ĩtagatheũka o na rĩ.
5 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.”
O ũguo no taguo o na inyuĩ aanake mwagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwathĩkĩra andũ arĩa akũrũ. Inyuĩ othe-rĩ, ikaragai mwĩnyiihanĩirie mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ, tondũ-rĩ, “Ngai nĩareganaga na arĩa etĩĩi no arĩa menyiihagia nĩamaheaga wega wake.”
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwĩnyiihagiei, mũrĩ guoko-inĩ kwa Ngai kũrĩa kũrĩ hinya, nĩguo akaamũtũũgĩria hĩndĩ ĩrĩa njagĩrĩru yakinya.
7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
Na mũmũrekagĩrĩrie maũndũ manyu mothe marĩa mamũtangaga, tondũ nĩwe ũmũrũmbũyagia.
8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Ikaragai mwĩiguĩte na mwĩhũgage. Tondũ-rĩ, thũ yanyu mũcukani ĩcangacangaga ta mũrũũthi ũkũrarama ũgĩcaria mũndũ wa gũtambuura.
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
No rĩrĩ, mũmwĩtiirie, mwĩhaandĩte wega thĩinĩ wa wĩtĩkio, tondũ nĩmũmenyete atĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe wanyu gũkũ thĩ guothe maranyariirĩka o ta inyuĩ.
10 But may the God of all grace, who called you to his consummate (aiōnios g166) glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
Nake Ngai mwene wega wothe, o we ũrĩa wamwĩtire riiri-inĩ wake wa tene na tene thĩinĩ wa Kristũ, we mwene nĩakamũcookereria, na amwĩkĩre hinya, na amũtue arũmu na mũtangĩenyenyeka, thuutha wa kũnyariirĩka kahinda kanini. (aiōnios g166)
Naguo hinya ũrotuĩka wake tene na tene. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
12 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.
Ndamwandĩkĩra marũa maya makuhĩ ndeithĩtio nĩ Silivano, ũrĩa nduaga mũrũ wa Ithe witũ mwĩhokeku, nĩguo ndĩmũmĩrĩrie, na heane ũira na ma atĩ ũhoro ũyũ nĩguo wega wa Ngai ũrĩa wa ma. Mwĩhaandei wega thĩinĩ waguo.
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
Kanitha ũrĩa ũrĩ gũkũ Babuloni, ũrĩa ũthuurĩtwo hamwe na inyuĩ, nĩwamũgeithia, o nake mũrũ wakwa Mariko nĩamũgeithia.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Geithaniai mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ na ngeithi cia kĩmumunyano iria cia wendo. Thayũ ũrogĩa na inyuĩ inyuothe arĩa mũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ.
