1 Peter 5
1 De Ældste iblandt eder formaner jeg som Medældste og Vidne til Kristi Lidelser, som den, der også har Del i Herligheden, der skal åbenbares:
The elders among you I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, who am also a sharer in the glory that is 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;
tend the flock of God which is among you, overseeing it, not by constraint, but willingly; not for base gain, but with ready mind;
3 ikke heller som de, der ville herske over Menighederne, men som Mønstre for Hjorden;
not as lording it over your allotted charge, but being examples to the flock;
4 og når da Overhyrden åbenbares, skulle I få Herlighedens uvisnelige Krans.
and when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye will receive the crown of glory that fadeth not away.
5 Ligeså, I unge! underordner eder under de ældre; og ifører eder alle Ydmyghed imod hverandre; thi "Gud står de hoffærdige imod, men de ydmyge giver han Nåde."
In like manner, ye younger men, submit yourselves to the elder; and all of you be clothed with humility toward each other; for “God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.”
6 Derfor ydmyger eder under Guds vældige Hånd, for at han i sin Tid må ophøje eder.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;
7 Kaster al eders Sørg på ham, thi han har Omsorg for eder.
casting all your care upon him, because he careth for you.
8 Vær ædru, våger; eders Modstander, Djævelen, går omkring som en brølende Løve, søgende, hvem han kan opsluge.
Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the Devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour;
9 Står ham imod, faste i Troen, vidende, at de samme Lidelser fuldbyrdes på eders Brødre i Verden.
whom resist, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being accomplished in your brethren in the world.
10 Men al Nådes 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 called you to his everlasting glory in Christ Jesus, will, after ye have suffered a while, himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you. (aiōnios g166)
To him be the dominion for 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 Nåde, hvori I stå.
By Silvanus, the faithful brother as I think, I have written to you in few words, 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 with you, saluteth you; and Mark, 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 to you all that are in Christ.
