English1
To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a witness of Christ’s sufferings and one who also will share in the glory to be revealed:

Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, serving as overseers–not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve;
African Kalanga
Tjengetani gubungano le Ndzimu, ngobe mu balisi balo musingakombeledziwe, koga muda se Ndzimu uda kuti muthame, kusi kwe bugovu gwe mbuzilo koga kuli mazwimisilo enyu,
English3
not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
African Kalanga
kusi kutshambilidza ibabo bamunolaula, koga muli zwilakidzilo ku gubungano.

Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

Sa ikoko namwibo batjetjana, muzwiyise pasi kwe bawhola. Mose muzwiyise pasi kwakapelela mmwe ku mmwe ne kuti “Ndzimu unonyanyayidza banozwikudza, koga unowhila ngoni banozwiyisa pasi.”

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Isani zose zwinomudziyidza kuuli, ne kuti ndiwo unomutjengeta.

Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

Koga hule kwe madziyila kusi kungapani, Ndzimu we ngoni dzose, iwo wakamudana kuti muhhe ku gudzo lawo lisingapele muna Khirisiti, unowomuthama bakapelela, ukamubaka, ukamusimisa.

To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark.

Gubungano li ku Bhabhiloni, lakahalugwa samwi lomudumilisa, ngono ne nkololo wangu Mako unodumilisabo.

Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
