1 Peter 5
1 De Ældste iblandt eder formaner jeg som Medældste og Vidne til Kristi Lidelser, som den, der ogsaa har Del i Herligheden, der skal aabenbares:
The elders that are among you I exhort, who am also an elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker of the glory which shall be revealed; feed the flock of God that is among you,
2 Vogter Guds Hjord hos eder, og fører Tilsyn med den, ikke tvungne, men frivilligt, ikke for slet Vindings Skyld, men med Redebonhed;
taking the episcopal charge of it, not by constraint, but willingly; not for shameful lucre, but with a ready mind:
3 ikke heller som de, der ville herske over Menighederne, men som Mønstre for Hjorden;
nor as lording it over the people, but being examples to the flock.
4 og naar da Overhyrden aabenbares, skulle I faa Herlighedens uvisnelige Krans.
And when the sovereign Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive an unfading crown of glory.
5 Ligesaa, I unge! underordner eder under de ældre; og ifører eder alle Ydmyghed imod hverandre; thi „Gud staar de hoffærdige imod, men de ydmyge giver han Naade.‟
Likewise ye younger, be subject to the elder; and all of you behaving with due submission one to another, be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, but sheweth favor to the humble.
6 Derfor ydmyger eder under Guds vældige Haand, for at han i sin Tid maa ophøje eder.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time;
7 Kaster al eders Sorg paa ham, thi han har Omsorg for eder.
casting all your care upon Him, for He careth for you.
8 Værer ædrue, vaager; eders Modstander, Djævelen, gaar omkring som en brølende Løve, søgende, hvem han kan opsluge.
Be sober, be vigilant; for your adversary the devil, like a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Staar ham imod, faste i Troen, vidende, at de samme Lidelser fuldbyrdes paa eders Brødre i Verden.
whom resist, stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are endured by your brethren in the world.
10 Men al Naades Gud, som kaldte eder til sin evige Herlighed i Kristus Jesus efter en kort Tids Lidelse, han vil selv fuldelig berede eder, styrke, bekræfte, grundfæste eder! (aiōnios g166)
But may the God of all grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after ye have suffered a little while, make you perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. (aiōnios g166)
To Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Med Silvanus, den trofaste Broder (thi det holder jeg ham for), har jeg i Korthed skrevet eder til for at formane og bevidne, at dette er Guds sande Naade, hvori I staa.
Thus I have written briefly by Silvanus, a faithful brother to you (as I judge) exhorting and testifying, that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.
13 Den medudvalgte i Babylon og min Søn, Markus, hilser eder.
The church in Babylon, chosen together with you saluteth you, and so doth Marcus my son.
14 Hilser hverandre med Kærligheds Kys! Fred være med eder alle, som ere i Kristus!
Salute one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
