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 which [are] among you I exhort, who [am their] fellow-elder and witness of the sufferings of the Christ, who also [am] partaker of the glory about to be revealed:
2 Vogter Guds Hjord hos eder, og fører Tilsyn med den, ikke tvungne, men frivilligt, ikke for slet Vindings Skyld, men med Redebonhed;
shepherd the flock of God which [is] among you, exercising oversight, not by necessity, but willingly; not for base gain, but readily;
3 ikke heller som de, der ville herske over Menighederne, men som Mønstre for Hjorden;
not as lording it over your possessions, but being models for the flock.
4 og naar da Overhyrden aabenbares, skulle I faa Herlighedens uvisnelige Krans.
And when the chief shepherd is manifested ye shall receive the 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 bind on humility towards one another; for God sets himself against [the] proud, but to [the] humble gives grace.
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 [the due] time;
7 Kaster al eders Sorg paa ham, thi han har Omsorg for eder.
having cast all your care upon him, for he cares about you.
8 Værer ædrue, vaager; eders Modstander, Djævelen, gaar omkring som en brølende Løve, søgende, hvem han kan opsluge.
Be vigilant, watch. Your adversary [the] devil as a roaring lion walks 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 faith, knowing that the selfsame sufferings are accomplished in your brotherhood which [is] 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 the God of all grace who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, when ye have suffered for a little while, himself shall make perfect, stablish, strengthen, ground: (aiōnios g166)
to him [be] the glory and the might for the ages of the ages. 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.
By Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I suppose, I have written to you briefly; exhorting and testifying that this is [the] true grace of God in which ye stand.
13 Den medudvalgte i Babylon og min Søn, Markus, hilser eder.
She that is elected with [you] in Babylon salutes you, and 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 love. Peace be with you all who [are] in Christ.
