1 Peter 5
1 I, a fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and a partaker of the glory going be revealed, exhort the elders among you:
He whakahau tenei naku ki nga kaumatua i roto i a koutou, he hoa kaumatua hoki ahau, he kaiwhakaatu mo nga mamae o te Karaiti, kua whiwhi tahi nei hoki ki te kororia e whakakite mai i muri:
2 Tend ye the flock of God among you, watching over, not by obligation, but willingly, nor greedily, but readily,
Whangainga te kahui a te Atua i roto i a koutou; kaua e ngakaukore ina tirotiro, engari kia hihiko; kaua mo te taonga he, engari i runga i te ngakau nui;
3 nor as domineering over the lots, but becoming examples of the flock.
Kaua ano hoki e whakatupu rangatira ki ta te Atua wahi, engari hei tauira koutou ki te kahui.
4 And when the chief Shepherd is made known, ye will receive the unfading crown of glory.
A kia puta mai te tino Hepara, ka whiwhi koutou ki te karauna kororia e kore e pirau.
5 Likewise younger men should be subordinate to the elder men. And all being subordinate to each other, clothe yourselves with humility, because God sets himself against the haughty, but gives grace to the lowly.
Me koutou ano hoki, e nga taitamariki, kia ngohengohe ki nga kaumatua. Kia ngohengohe ano hoki koutou katoa, tetahi ki tetahi, ko te ngakau papaku ano hei whitiki mo koutou: no te mea hoki e pakeke ana te Atua ki te hunga whakapehapeha, ka hoatu ia e ia he aroha noa ki te hunga papaku.
6 Therefore be lowered under the mighty hand of God, so that he may lift you up in time,
Na, whakapapaku iho koutou i raro i te ringaringa kaha o te Atua, kia whakateiteitia ake ai koutou e ia i te wa e pai ai:
7 having cast all your concern upon him, because he cares for you.
Maka atu o koutou manukanuka katoa ki runga ki a ia; e whakaaro ana hoki ia ki a koutou.
8 Be sober, be vigilant. Your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about seeking whom to devour.
Kia mataara, kai matapopore; kei te haereere hoki to koutou hoa whawhai, te rewera, ano he raiona e ngengere ana, e rapu ana i te tangata hei horomanga mana:
9 Whom resist, steadfast in the faith, knowing the same sufferings are to be accomplished in the world by your brotherhood.
Kia u ki te whakapono, ka tu atu ai ki a ia; me te mahara ano ka rite aua mamae nei ano i o koutou teina i te ao.
10 And may the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus (after suffering a little while) himself thoroughly prepare you. He will establish, strengthen, and provide a foundation. (aiōnios g166)
Na ma te Atua o nga mahi aroha noa katoa, i karangatia ai koutou ki tona kororia mutungakore i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, ka oti koutou te whakamamae i tenei wa iti nei, mana koutou e mea kia tino rite, mana e whakau, mana e whakakaha, mana e whakapu mau. (aiōnios g166)
Waiho atu i a ia te kororia me te kaha ake ake. Amine. (aiōn g165)
12 By Silvanus, the faithful brother to you, as I reckon, I wrote because of a few things, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which ye stand.
Kua tuhituhia atu nei e ahau etahi kupu torutoru, hei maunga atu ma Hirawanu: he teina pono ia no koutou ki toku whakaaro: he whakahau atu tenei, he whakaatu naku, ko te tino aroha noa tenei o te Atua e tu nei koutou.
13 She in Babylon, chosen together, salutes you, and my son Mark.
Tenei te oha atu nei ki a koutou te hahi i Papurona, i whiriwhiria ngatahitia nei koutou; me taku tamaiti ano hoki me Maka.
14 Salute each other by a kiss of love. Peace to you, to all those in Christ Jesus. Truly.
Oha atu tetahi ki tetahi, hei te kihi aroha ano. Kia tau te rangimarie ki a koutou katoa i roto i a Karaiti Ihu. Amine.
