< 1 Peter 4 >

1 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
Kulwejo, kulwo kubha Kristo anyakile mu mubhili, mbe nimufwale ebhigwato kwo Mwoyo gupta gulya. Omwene anyakile mu mubhili amalile okusigana ne bhibhibhi. Omunu unu atakulamulwa lindi okulama mu namba yo mubhili, nawe mukwenda kwa Nyamuanga, kwo bhulame bhwaye bhunu bhatasigile.
2 that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
3 For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
Kulwo kubha omwanya gunu gwatulilewo gweile okukola emisango ja bhanu bha Maanga bhanu abhenda okukola obhumuke, kubha na Mwoyo mubhibhi, obhutamiji, inamba, obhulengelesi bhwe chipagani no kulamiya ebhisusano ebhyo kufululusha.
4 They think it is strange that you don’t run with them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you.
Abheganilisha ati ni bhilugulo ungwa nimwichunda okukola emisango ejo amwi nabho, kwibhyo abhaika amanyamuke ingulu yemwe.
5 They will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
Abhasosha okubhala kumwene unu ali bhwangu okulamula bhanu bhali bhaaanga na bhafuye.
6 For to this end the Good News was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit.
Kunsonga inu omusango gwo bhwana gunu gwasimuywe ku bhene bhanu bhaliga bhafuye, nolwo ati bhanu bhamalile okulamulwa mu mibhili jebhwe nolwo abhana munu, koleleki bhatule okulama okulubhana na Nyamuanga mu Mwoyo.
7 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.
Kubhutelo bhwe misango jona obhuja. kulwejo, mubhe no bhumenyi bhunu bhukamlikile, na mubhe na Mwoyo gwekisi ingulu ya lisabhwa lyemwe.
8 And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
Chichali kumala emisango jona, mbe nimukomelega mu kwenda ku bhuli umwi, kulwo kubha okwenda kutakuyenja kusululwa bhibhibhi ebhya bhandi.
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
Nimweleshega obhufula ku bhuli umwi kwitonganila uli.
10 As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
Lwa kutyo bhuli umwi wemwe agabhiywe ebhiyanwa, nimufulubhendanilega kuti bhanu bhanu bhemeleleguyu kisi lwe bhiyanwa ebhindi bhinu ebhisosibhwa kutye-la na Nyamuanga.
11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Bhuli munu akaika, na jibhega kuti ni melesho ga Nyamuanga, no munu akafulubhenda, na jibhega kuti ni bhutulo bhunu ayanilwe na Nyamuanga, koleleki ati bhuli musango Nyamuanga abhega nakusibhwa okulabha ku Yesu Kristo. Likusho no bhuinga bhibhega ku mwene kajanende na kajanende. Amina. (aiōn g165)
12 Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
Abhendwa, mwasiga lubhala ingulu yo kusakwa kunu okuja okubhasaka owe chinu chigenyi, nolwo kutyo chiliwo chinu chigenyi chinu chaliga nichibhonekana kwemwe.
13 But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
Mbe nawe lwa kutyo omugendelela okubhala obhumanyile bhwa jinyako ja Kristo, nimukondelwe, koleleki ati mukondelwe one no kusandabha mu bhusuluko bhwa likusho lyaye.
14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
Nolwo kutyo omufumwa ingulu ya lisina Lya Kristo, muna libhando, ku nsonga ya Mwoyo wa likusho na Mwoyo wa Nyamuanga enyanjile kwimwe.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler in other men’s matters.
Mbe nawe asiga kubhawo wona wona owl kunyasibhwa kuti Mwoyo, mwifi, unu kakola amabhibhi, amwi unu kafulubhenda ne misango ja bhandi.
16 But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.
Mbe nawe alabha omunu kanyasibhwa lwa Kristo, asiga kulola nswalo, nawe amukushe Nyamuanga mwisina elyo.
17 For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who don’t obey the Good News of God?
Kulwo kubha omwanya gwakingile ku ndamu okwambila mu nyumba ya Nyamuanga. Alabha ikambila kweswe, mbe ejibha atiki ku bhalya bhanu bhatakugwolobhela omusango gwo bhwana ogwa Nyamuanga?
18 “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?”
Mbe alabha, “Omulengelesi kakisibhwa okulabha ku makomee, ejibha atiki ku munu unu atali mulengelesi no we bhibhibhi?
19 Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
Kulwejo bhona bhanu abhanyaka okulubhana no kwenda kwa Nyamuanga nibhatule emitima jebhwe ku mumogi omwiikanyibhwa koleleki bhabhe nibhakola eje kisi.
