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:
Elders who [are] among you, I exhort, who [am] a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and of the glory about to be revealed a partaker,
2 Vogter Guds Hjord hos eder, og fører Tilsyn med den, ikke tvungne, men frivilligt, ikke for slet Vindings Skyld, men med Redebonhed;
feed the flock of God that [is] among you, overseeing not constrainedly, but willingly, neither for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind,
3 ikke heller som de, der ville herske over Menighederne, men som Mønstre for Hjorden;
neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but patterns becoming of the flock,
4 og naar da Overhyrden aabenbares, skulle I faa Herlighedens uvisnelige Krans.
and at the manifestation of the chief Shepherd, 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.‟
In like manner, ye younger, be subject to elders, and all to one another subjecting yourselves; with humble-mindedness clothe yourselves, because God the proud doth resist, but to the humble He doth give grace;
6 Derfor ydmyger eder under Guds vældige Haand, for at han i sin Tid maa ophøje eder.
be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that you He may exalt in good time,
7 Kaster al eders Sorg paa ham, thi han har Omsorg for eder.
all your care having cast upon Him, because He careth for you.
8 Værer ædrue, vaager; eders Modstander, Djævelen, gaar omkring som en brølende Løve, søgende, hvem han kan opsluge.
Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, doth walk about, seeking whom he may swallow up,
9 Staar ham imod, faste i Troen, vidende, at de samme Lidelser fuldbyrdes paa eders Brødre i Verden.
whom resist, stedfast in the faith, having known the same sufferings to your brotherhood in the world to be accomplished.
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)
And the God of all grace, who did call you to His age-during glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle [you]; (aiōnios g166)
to Him [is] the glory, and the power — to the ages and 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.
Through Silvanus, to you the faithful brother, as I reckon, through few [words] I did write, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which ye have stood.
13 Den medudvalgte i Babylon og min Søn, Markus, hilser eder.
Salute you doth the [assembly] in Babylon jointly elected, and Markus my son.
14 Hilser hverandre med Kærligheds Kys! Fred være med eder alle, som ere i Kristus!
Salute ye one another in a kiss of love; peace to you all who [are] in Christ Jesus! Amen.
