1 Peter 5
1 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:
Nye, ame si nye hamemegã, Kristo ƒe fukpekpewo ƒe ɖaseɖila kple ame si hã akpɔ gome le ŋutikɔkɔe si woaɖe afia la me la le edom ɖe hamemegã siwo le mia dome la gbɔ be
2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight of it, not by constraint, but willingly; not for dishonest gain, but from a ready mind;
mianye Mawu ƒe alẽha si wòtsɔ de miaƒe dzikpɔkpɔ te la ƒe kplɔlawo, mikpɔ wo ta, eye menye abe dɔdeasi ko ene o, ke boŋ kple dzidzɔ kple lɔlɔ̃nu nyui, abe ale si Mawu di tso mia si be miawɔ ene. Menye kple ŋukeklẽ ɖe ga ŋuti o, ke boŋ kple subɔsubɔ ƒe didi nyui,
3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being examples to the flock.
be miagaɖu tɔ ɖe hame si dzikpɔlawo woɖo mi la dzi o, ke boŋ mianye kpɔɖeŋu na alẽha la.
4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
Ekema ne Alẽkplɔlagã la ado la, miaxɔ ŋutikɔkɔefiakuku si ƒe keklẽ maklo akpɔ gbeɖe o.
5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves to the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
Nenema ke, mi ɖekakpuiwo la, mibɔbɔ mia ɖokuiwo na ame tsitsiwo. Mido ɖokuibɔbɔ abe awu ene na mia ɖokuiwo, ale be miate ŋu asubɔ mia nɔewo, elabena, “Mawu tsia tsitre ɖe dadalawo ŋu, ke evea ame siwo bɔbɔa wo ɖokuiwo la nu.”
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
Eya ta azɔ la, mibɔbɔ mia ɖokuiwo ɖe Mawu ƒe asi sesẽ la te, be ne ɣeyiɣi si wòɖo la de la, wòakɔ mi ɖe dzi.
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Mitsɔ miaƒe dzimaɖitsitsiwo katã da ɖe eya amea dzi, elabena eléa be na mi.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Miɖu mia ɖokuiwo dzi, eye minɔ ŋudzɔ. Miaƒe futɔ, Abosam, le tsatsam abe dzata si le gbe tem, le nu dim ne wòavuvu la ene.
9 Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
Minɔ te ɖe enu, minɔ tsitre sesĩe le xɔse la me, elabena mienyae be mia nɔvi siwo le xexea me godoo la le fukpekpe mawo ke me tom.
10 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)
Amenuveve katã ƒe Mawu la, ame si yɔ mi va eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe mavɔ la gbɔ le Kristo me, le fukpekpe sue aɖe ko megbe la, ŋutɔ aɖo mi te, ado ŋusẽ mi, ali ke mi, eye wòaɖo mia gɔme anyi. (aiōnios g166)
Eya tɔ nanye ŋusẽ tso mavɔ me, yi mavɔ me. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 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.
Meŋlɔ nu kpui sia ɖo ɖe mi to nɔvi Silvano, ame si mebu nɔvi nuteƒewɔla la ƒe kpekpeɖeŋu me, le ŋusẽ dom mi kple ɖaseɖiɖi be esiae nye Mawu ƒe amenuveve nyateƒetɔ la. Minɔ te sesĩe le eme.
13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, greeteth you; and so doth Mark my son.
Mia nɔvi si nye hame si le Babilonia, si wotia kpe ɖe mia ŋu la do gbe na mi vevie. Nenema ke, vinye Marko hã do gbe na mi nyuie.
14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Mitsɔ lɔlɔ̃ do gbe na mia nɔewo abe Kristotɔ vavãwo ene. Ŋutifafa na mi ame siwo katã le Kristo me.
