彼得前書 5
1 所以我這同為長老的，為基督苦難作證的，以及同享那將要顯示的光榮的人，勸勉你們中間的眾長老：
Elders, therefore, among you, I exhort—[I] who am their co-elder and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, who also, in the glory about to be revealed, have, a share; —
2 你們務要牧放天主托付給你們的羊群；盡監督之職，不是出於不得已，而是出於甘心，隨天主的聖意；也不是出於貪卑鄙的利益，而是出於情願；
Shepherd the beloved flock of God, which is among you, —not by compulsion, but by choice, nor yet for base gain, but of a ready mind, —
3 不是做托你們照管者的主宰，而是做群羊的模範：
Nor yet as lording it over the allotted portions, but becoming, ensamples, to the beloved flock;
4 這樣，當總司牧出現時，你們必領受那不朽的榮冠。
And, when the Chief Shepherd is manifested, ye shall bear away, the unfading crown of glory.
5 同樣，你們青年人，應該服從長老；大家都該穿上謙卑作服裝，彼此侍候，因為『天主拒絕驕傲人，卻賞賜恩寵於謙遜人。』
In like manner, ye younger men—submit yourselves unto elders; —All, however, one towards another, gird on humility; because, God, against the haughty, arrayeth himself, whereas, unto the lowly, he giveth favour.
6 為此，你們該屈服在天主大能的手下，這樣在適當的時候，他必舉揚你們；
Be made lowly, therefore, under the strong hand of God, that he may lift, you, up in due time, —
7 將你們的一切掛慮都託給他，因為他必關照你們。
All your anxiety, casting upon him, because he careth for you.
8 你們要節制，要醒寤，因為，你們的仇敵魔鬼，如同咆哮的獅子巡遊，尋找可吞食的人；
Be sober! be watchful! Your slanderous adversary, as a roaring lion, is walking about—seeking to devour:
9 應以堅固的信德抵抗他，也該知道：你們在世上的眾弟兄，都遭受同樣的苦痛。
Whom resist, steadfast in your faith, knowing that, the same sufferings, in your brotherhood that is in the world, are being accomplished.
Howbeit, the God of all favour—who hath called you unto his age-abiding glory in Christ—when, for a little, ye have suffered, Himself, will adjust, confirm, strengthen: — (aiōnios g166)
12 我藉忠信的弟兄息耳瓦諾，給你們寫了這封我認為簡短的書信，為勸勉你們，並為證明這實在是天主的恩寵：在這恩寵上你們應該站穩。
By Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I account him, have I briefly written, unto you, exhorting and adding testimony—that, this, is the true favour of God—within which, stand ye fast!
13 與你們一同被選的巴比倫教會問候你們；我兒馬爾谷也問候你們。
She who, in Babylon, is co-elect, and Mark my son, salute you:
14 你們要以愛的親吻，彼此問候。願平安與在基督內的你們眾人同在。
Salute ye one another with a kiss of love. Peace unto you all who are in Christ.
