1 I want to speak to the church leaders among you. I am a church leader also. I saw Christ suffer and die on a cross. I will also share His shining-greatness when He comes again.

Anigoo anba oday la ah oo marag ka ah waxyaalihii Masiixu ku xanuunsaday oo weliba ka qayb qaadanaya ammaanta la muujin doono, waxaan ku waaninayaa odayaasha idinku dhex jira:

2 B e good shepherds of the flock God has put in your care. Do not care for the flock as if you were made to. Do not care for the flock for money, but do it because you want to.

Ilaaliya idaha Ilaah oo idin dhex jooga, idinkoo aan qasab ahaan u dhawrayn, laakiinse raalli ka ah sida Ilaah doonayo.

3 D o not be bosses over the people you lead. Live as you would like to have them live.

Oo weliba ha u dhawrina faa'iido ceeb ah daraaddeed, laakiinse ku dhawra maan diyaar ah, hana u xukumina sida idinkoo sayidyo u ah kuwaad u talisaan, laakiinse idaha masaallo u noqda.

4 W hen the Head Shepherd comes again, you will get the crown of shining-greatness that will not come to an end.

Oo marka Adhijirka sare la muujiyo, idinku waxaad heli doontaan taajka ammaanta oo aan baabba'ayn.

5 I n the same way, you younger men must obey the church leaders. Be gentle as you care for each other. God works against those who have pride. He gives His loving-favor to those who do not try to honor themselves.

Sidaasoo kalena dhallinyaraday, odayaasha ka dambeeya, oo kulligiinba is-hoosaysiiya, in midkiinba midka kale u adeego, maxaa yeelay, Ilaah waa hor joogsadaa kuwa kibra, laakiinse kuwa is-hoosaysiiya ayuu nimco siiyaa. Waano

6 S o put away all pride from yourselves. You are standing under the powerful hand of God. At the right time He will lift you up.

Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed gacanta xoogga leh oo Ilaah iska hoosaysiiya, si uu wakhtigiisa idiin sarraysiiyo.

7 G ive all your worries to Him because He cares for you.

Welwelkiinna oo dhan isaga saara, maxaa yeelay, isagu dan buu idinka leeyahay.

8 K eep awake! Watch at all times. The devil is working against you. He is walking around like a hungry lion with his mouth open. He is looking for someone to eat.

Feeyignaada oo soo jeeda, waayo, cadowgiinna Ibliiska ahu sida libaax ciyaya ayuu u wareegaa oo u doondoonaa cid uu liqo.

9 S tand against him and be strong in your faith. Remember, other Christians over all the world are suffering the same as you are.

Isaga hor joogsada, idinkoo iimaankiinna ku adag, oo garanaya in isla dhibaatooyinkaasu ay ku dhacaan walaalahiinna dunida ku jira.

10 A fter you have suffered for awhile, God Himself will make you perfect. He will keep you in the right way. He will give you strength. He is the God of all loving-favor and has called you through Christ Jesus to share His shining-greatness forever.

Haddaba Ilaaha leh nimcada oo dhan oo idiinku yeedhay ammaantiisa daa'imkaa oo Masiixa ku jirta, markii aad in yar xanuunsataan ka dib isagu wuu idin kaamili doonaa, oo idin adkayn doonaa, oo idin xoogayn doonaa.

11 G od has power over all things forever. Let it be so.

Weligiis iyo weligiisba xoogga isagaa leh. Aamiin.

12 I have known Silvanus as a faithful Christian brother and it is by him I have written this short letter to help you. It tells you of the true loving-favor of God. Stay true in His loving-favor.

Waxaan warqad yar idiinku soo qoray gacanta walaalkeen Silwanos oo aan ku tirinayo inuu aamin yahay. Oo waxaan idinku waaninayaa oo marag ahaan idiinku sheegayaa in tanu tahay nimcada Ilaah oo run ah. Taas ku adkaada

13 T he church which is in the city of Babylon says hello. It has been chosen by God the same as you have been. My son, Mark, says hello also.

Waxaa idin soo salaamaya tan Baabuloon joogta oo laydinla doortay, iyo wiilkayga Markos.

14 G reet each other with a kiss of holy love. May all of you Christians have peace.

Isku salaama dhunkasho jacayl ah. Oo intiinna Masiixa kuwiisa ah oo dhan nabaddu ha u ahaato.
