1 Petro 5
1 Enibhelembeleja abhakaluka bhanu bhalimo mwime, anye, unu nili mukaluka wejabho no mubhambasi wa jinyako ja Kristo, noyo ali musangi mwikusho lya bhunu bhwakabhulisibhwe.
Therefore I, being a fellow-elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, also a communicant of the glory which is about to be revealed, exhort the elders who are among you:
2 Kulwejo, enibhatamo omwoyo emwe bhakaluka, nimulilebhe liijo lya Nyamuanga linu libhalimo. Nimulilole, atali ati kunsonga kubheile, mbe nawe kunsonga omuligila kutyo, okulubhana na Nyamuanga. Nimulilolele, atali kwo kwenda jimpilya ja jinswalo, mbe nawe kwo kwenda.
shepherdize the flock of God which is among you, not coercively, but willingly, for the sake of God; not for filthy lucre, but cheerfully.
3 Mwasiga kwikola bhakulu ingulu ya bhanu bhanu bhali emwalo yo bhwangalisi bhwemwe, mbe nawe nimubhe chijejekanyo kwiijo.
Not as domineering over the heritages, but having become examples of the flock:
4 Anu Nyamuanga omukulu alibhonekana, mulilamila olutenga lwa likusho lunu lutakubhusha bhugusi bhwacho.
and chief Shepherd having appeared, you shall receive a crown of glory which will never fade away.
5 Nko kutyo, nemwe abhasigaji abhatoto, nimubholobhele abhakulu bhemwe. Emwe bhona, nimubhufwale obhwolobhe no kufulubhendelana emwe abhene kwa bhene, kulwo kubha Nyamuanga kabhalema abhe chigundu, mbe nawe kabhayana echigongo bhanu abholobhe.
Likewise, you younger men, submit to the elders: and all put on humility toward one another; because God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble.
6 Kulwejo mwolobhega emwalo yo kubhoko kwa Nyamuanga kunu kuli kuyali koleleki ati abhenamushe kwo mwanya gwaye.
Therefore humble yourselves beneath the mighty hand of God, that he may lift you up in due time:
7 Nimumuteleko jinyako jemwe ingulu yaye, kulwo kubha kabhegana.
having cast all your care upon him; because there is a care to him concerning you.
8 Mbe nimubhe no bhwenge, nimubhe bhetegelesha. Omusoko wemwe ulya, lishetani, ali lwa Intale inu eibhuta kenu nitebha, niyenda omunu wo kutemula.
Be sober, watch. The devil is walking round like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour:
9 Nimwimelegulu mutasikene nage. Nimubhega na managa mulikilisha lyemwe. Nimumenyega ati abhasu bhanu bhali muchalo bhajibhwene jinyako lwejo.
whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that it is for you to complete the same sufferings in this world along with your brotherhood.
10 Mbe kukilawo ejo ejo kunyaka kwo mwanya mutoto, Nyamuanga we chigongo chona, unu abhabhilikiye mwikusho lya kajanende mu Kristo, kabhakumisha, kabhakomesha no kubhakumanya amanaga. (aiōnios g166)
But the God of all grace, the one having called you into his own eternal glory in Christ, will himself make you perfect, having suffered a little while, will establish you, will strengthen you, will settle you. (aiōnios g166)
To him is the power unto the age of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Enimwenda Silwano kuti wasu mwiikanyibhwa, na nibhandikiye emwe mu chifuyi okulabha ku mwene. Enibhatulamo omwoyo na enibhambalila ati chinu jandikilwe ni chigongo che chimali cha Nyamuanga. Nimwimelegulu mu mwene.
Through Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I consider, I have written unto you briefly, exhorting, and witnessing that this same grace of God is true in which you may stand.
13 Abhekilisha bhanu bhali Bhabheli, bhanu bhasolelwe amwi nemwe, abhabhakesha.
The elect sister who is in Babylon, and my son Mark, salute you.
14 Nimukeshanyega bhuli umwi kwo kunyunyana kwe lyenda. No mulembe gubhe kwimwe bhanu muli mu Kristo.
Salute one another with a holy kiss. Peace be unto you all who are in Christ.
