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,
Naizvozvo Kristu zvaakatitamburira panyama, nemwi muzvishongedze nemurangariro wakadaro; nokuti iye watambudzika panyama, aregedzwa pachivi;
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.
kuti nguva yasara panyama musachiraramira kuchiva kwevanhu, asi chido chaMwari.
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.
Nokuti yakatiringana nguva yakapfuura yeupenyu kuita chido chevahedheni, patakafamba mukusazvibata, kuchiva, kuraradza, makaro, nemitambo yekunwa, nekunamata zvifananidzo zvisingatenderwi;
4 They think it is strange that you don’t run with them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you.
zvavanoshamisika mazviri, kuti hamumhanyidzani navo pakuwandisa kumwe kwenyonga-nyonga, vachikutukai;
5 They will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
vachazvidavirira kuna iye wakagadzirira kutonga vapenyu nevakafa.
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.
Nokuti nekuda kwaizvozvi evhangeri yakaparidzirwa kune vakafawo, kuti vatongwe zvinoenderana nevanhu panyama, asi vararame zvinoenderana naMwari pamweya.
7 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.
Zvino kuguma kwezvinhu zvese kwaswedera; naizvozvo svinurai murinde muminyengetero.
8 And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
Uye mberi kwezvinhu zvese ivai nerudo rwunopfuta pakati penyu, nokuti rudo ruchafukidzira zvivi zvizhinji-zhinji.
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
Gamuchiranai, pasina kunyunyuta.
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.
Umwe neumwe sezvaakagamuchira chipo, shumiranai ichocho sevatariri vakanaka venyasha dzakasiyana-siyana dzaMwari.
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)
Kana umwe achitaura, ngaataure semashoko aMwari; kana umwe achishumira ngazviitwe sezvinobva kusimba Mwari raanopa; kuti Mwari akudzwe pazvinhu zvese kubudikidza naJesu Kristu, kwaari kune kukudzwa nesimba kusvikira rinhi narinhi. Ameni. (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.
Vadiwa, musashamisika nemuedzo unopisa uri pamuri unokuidzai, sezvinonzi mawirwa nechisingazikanwi;
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.
asi sezvamuri vagovani vematambudziko aKristu, farai, kuti nepakuratidzwa kwekubwinya kwake mufare nemufaro mukurusa.
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.
Kana muchitukwa nekuda kwezita raKristu, makaropafadzwa; nokuti Mweya wekubwinya newaMwari agere pamusoro penyu; kwavari zvirokwazvo anonyombwa, asi kwamuri anokudzwa.
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.
Asi kusava neumwe wenyu anotambudzika semhondi, kana mbavha, kana muiti wezvakaipa, kana anongongwarira zvevamwe;
16 But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.
asi kana achitambudzika semuKristu, asanyara; asi ngaakudze Mwari pachinhu ichi.
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?
Nokuti yava nguva yekuti kutonga kutange paimba yaMwari; zvino kana kukatanga kwatiri, kuguma kwevasingateereri evhangeri yaMwari kuchavei?
18 “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?”
Uye kana wakarurama achiponeswa nemutsutsururu, asingadi Mwari nemutadzi vachaonekwepi?
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.
Naizvozvo naivo vanotambudzika zvinoenderana nechido chaMwari, sekuMusiki wakatendeka ngavakumikidze mweya yavo pakuita zvakanaka.
