1 Yaadin gaa, ay goono ga arkusey* kaŋ go araŋ game ra yaamar, ay kaŋ ga ti arkusu danga ngey cine. Ay ya Almasihu gurzugandiyaŋ seeda no, ay gonda baa mo darza kaŋ ga aniya ka bangay ra.
1I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed.
2 Araŋ ma Irikoy kuro kaŋ go araŋ kambe ra kuru. Araŋ ma haggoy d'ey, manti nda tilas, amma da bine yaddayaŋ Irikoy miila boŋ. Manti riiba ziibo sabbay se bo, amma da bine feerante.
2Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily, not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
3 Wa si hin cabe borey kaŋ i daŋ araŋ kambe ra se, amma araŋ ma ciya deedandiyaŋ hari kuro se.
3neither as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
4 Waati kaŋ Kuruko Beero ga bangay mo, araŋ ga du boŋtobay kaŋ gonda darza, kaŋ si halaci mo.
4When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.
5 Yaadin no araŋ mo kaŋ ga ti arwasey, wa araŋ boŋ ye ganda arkusey se. Oho, araŋ kulu ma lalabu faka araŋ gaa araŋ da cara game ra, zama «Irikoy ga wongu boŋbeeraykoy amma a ga gomni no lalabukoy se.»
5Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility, to subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Proverbs 3:34
6 Wa araŋ boŋ kaynandi Irikoy kambe dabarikoono cire, zama a m'araŋ beerandi alwaati kaŋ ga hagu ra.
6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;
7 Wa araŋ karhã kulu dake a boŋ, zama a laakalo go araŋ gaa.
7casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
8 Wa laakal daŋ! Wa batu mo! Zama araŋ yanjekaaro Iblisi* go danga muusu beeri kaŋ go ga dundu cine. A goono ga windi ka ceeci boro kaŋ nga ga ŋwa.
8Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
9 Araŋ ma kay ka gaaba nd'a, wa bara tabbatanteyaŋ mo araŋ cimbeero ra. Zama araŋ ga bay kaŋ araŋ nya-izey kaŋ yaŋ go ndunnya ra goono g'araŋ taabey din dumo haŋ.
9Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
10 Irikoy kaŋ ga ti gomni kulu Koyo n'araŋ ce araŋ ma furo nga darza kaŋ ga duumi ra Almasihu ra. Waati kaŋ araŋ taabi alwaati kayna, woodin banda nga bumbo g'araŋ toonandi, a g'araŋ daahirandi, k'araŋ no gaabi, k'araŋ sinji mo.
10But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
11 Mayray ma bara a se hal abada abadin. Amin!
11To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
12 Sila n'ay gaakasinay ay ma tira kayno wo hantum araŋ se, nga kaŋ ay ga lasaabu nya-ize naanaykoy no. Ay goono g'araŋ yaamar, ay goono ga seeda mo ka ne: woone ga ti Irikoy gomni cimi-cimo. Araŋ ma kay a boŋ da gaabi.
12Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.
13 Marga suubananta kaŋ go Babila ra, kaŋ Irikoy n'araŋ d'ey suuban, goono g'araŋ fo. Yaadin mo no ay izo Markos.
13She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you; and so does Mark, my son.
14 Araŋ ma care fo da baakasinay garbe sunsumyaŋ. Laakal kanay ma bara araŋ kulu banda kaŋ go Almasihu ra.
14Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
