SOMO LA MSINGI WIKI YA VIJANA.

1 Petro 5:5-11

[5]Vivyo hivyo ninyi vijana, watiini wazee. Naam, ninyi nyote jifungeni unyenyekevu, mpate kuhudumiana; kwa sababu Mungu huwapinga wenye kiburi, lakini huwapa wanyenyekevu neema.

[6]Basi nyenyekeeni chini ya mkono wa Mungu ulio hodari, ili awakweze kwa wakati wake;

[7]huku mkimtwika yeye fadhaa zenu zote, kwa maana yeye hujishughulisha sana kwa mambo yenu.

[8]Mwe na kiasi na kukesha; kwa kuwa mshitaki wenu Ibilisi, kama simba angurumaye, huzunguka-zunguka, akitafuta mtu ammeze.

[9]Nanyi mpingeni huyo, mkiwa thabiti katika imani, mkijua ya kuwa mateso yale yale yanatimizwa kwa ndugu zenu walioko duniani.

[10]Na Mungu wa neema yote, aliyewaita kuingia katika utukufu wake wa milele katika Kristo, mkiisha kuteswa kwa muda kidogo, yeye mwenyewe atawatengeneza, na kuwathibitisha, na kuwatia nguvu.

[11]Uweza una yeye hata milele na milele. Amina.

TRANSLATION.

  ⁵#Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. ^w Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for ^x “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

⁶#^x Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, ⁷#^y casting all your anxieties on him, because ^z he cares for you. ⁸#^a Be sober-minded; ^b be watchful. Your ^c adversary the devil ^d prowls around ^e like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. ⁹#^f Resist him, ^g firm in your faith, knowing that ^h the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. ¹⁰#And ⁱ after you have suffered a little while,the God of all grace, ^j who has called you to his ^k eternal glory in Christ, will himself ^l restore, ^m confirm, strengthen, and establish you. ¹¹#ⁿ To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
