1 Za kaŋ Almasihu di gurzugay gaaham ra, araŋ mo, kal araŋ ma anniya din haw araŋ gaa. Zama boro kaŋ di gurzugay gaaham ra na zunubi naŋ,
1Forasmuch then as 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;
2 hal a gaahamo fundi jirbey kaŋ cindi a se ra, a ma si ye ka borey ibaay* laaley gana koyne, amma a ma funa ka Irikoy miila gana.
2that 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 Zama jirbey kaŋ bisa ga wasa araŋ se da dumi cindey miila teeyaŋ. Araŋ dira furkutaray ra, da ibaay laaley, da baji haŋ-ka-buguyaŋ, da annasuwa, da baji haŋyaŋ, da tooru ganayaŋ ra kaŋ ga ti fanta hari.
3For 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.
4 Sohõ binde i goono ga dambara zama araŋ si ga zuru i banda ka margu nd'ey i furkutaray goray laaley ra. Woodin se no i goono g'araŋ wow.
4They think it is strange that you don’t run with them into the same excess of riot, blaspheming:
5 Amma tilas kal i ma konda ngey te-goyey Irikoy jine, nga kaŋ soola nga ma fundikooney da buukoy ciiti.
5who will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6 Zama woone se mo no i na Baaru Hanna waazu _waato|_ borey se kaŋ yaŋ _sohõ i|_ bu, hal Irikoy m'i ciiti gaaham ra danga mate kaŋ a ga borey kulu ciiti, hal i ma funa mo Irikoy jine biya ra.
6For 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.
7 Hay kulu bananta maan. Woodin sabbay se wa te laakal ka hin araŋ boŋ adduwa teeyaŋ se.
7But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.
8 Hay kulu jine, wa bara nda baakasinay gumo araŋ da care game ra, zama baakasinay ga zunubi boobo daabu.
8And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
9 Araŋ ma te araŋ da care se yaw gaaykoyaŋ, kaŋ manti nda guunu-guunuyaŋ mo.
9Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
10 Araŋ boro fo kulu ma care saajaw da gomni nooyaŋo kaŋ a du Irikoy do, danga Irikoy gomni waani-waani jine funa hanno yaŋ.
10As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
11 Da boro fo go ga salaŋ, a sanno ma hima wo kaŋ fun Irikoy do. Da boro go ga saajaw, a m'a te da gaabo kaŋ Irikoy g'a no, zama hay kulu ra i ma Irikoy beerandi Yesu Almasihu do. Beeray da koytaray ma bara a se hal abada abadin. Amin!
11If 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.
12 Ay baakoy, wa si dambara nda gurzugay konna kaŋ go araŋ game ra, kaŋ zumbu araŋ boŋ zama a m'araŋ gosi, hal araŋ ma ne dambara hari fo no ka du araŋ.
12Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
13 Amma wa farhã kaŋ araŋ goono ga margu Almasihu gurzuga ra, hal a darza bangandiyaŋo alwaato mo, araŋ ma farhã da farhã beeri.
13But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
14 Zama araŋ ya albarkanteyaŋ no d'i goono g'araŋ jance Almasihu maa sabbay se. Zama darza Biya kaŋ ga ti Irikoy Biya goono ga goro araŋ boŋ.
14If 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.
15 Amma araŋ ra boro kulu ma si taabi haŋ danga boro-wi wala zay wala goy laalo teeko, wala kawlante boro fo muraadu ra.
15For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler in other men’s matters.
16 Amma da boro fo goono ga taabi haŋ zama nga ya Almasihu ganako no, haawi ma s'a di, amma a ma Irikoy beerandi maa kaŋ go a gaa din sabbay se.
16But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.
17 Zama alwaato to kaŋ ciito ga sintin Irikoy jama gaa. Amma d'iri do no a ga sintin, borey kaŋ siino ga Irikoy Baaru Hanna gana, mate no i kokora ga ciya d'a?
17For 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?
18 «Da mo _Almasihu ganako|_ adilante* ga du faaba nda cat, mate no boro kaŋ wangu Irikoy nda zunubikooni mo ga ciya?»
18“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?” Proverbs 11:31
19 Woodin sabbay se binde, borey kaŋ goono ga taabi haŋ Irikoy miila sabbay se, i ma ngey fundey talfi Takako naanaykoyo gaa goy hanno teeyaŋ ra.
19Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
