1 Peter 5
1 The elders that are among you I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and a sharer in the glory that is to be revealed.
Àwọn alàgbà tí ń bẹ láàrín yín ni mo gbànímọ̀ràn, èmi ẹni tí ń ṣe alàgbà bí ẹ̀yin, àti ẹlẹ́rìí ìyà Kristi, àti alábápín nínú ògo tí a ó fihàn.
2 Act as shepherds to the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight, not by compulsion, but willingly; not for the sake of sordid gain, but from readiness of mind:
Ẹ máa tọ́jú agbo Ọlọ́run tí ń bẹ láàrín yín, ẹ máa bojútó o, kì í ṣe àfipáṣe, bí kò ṣe tìfẹ́tìfẹ́; kó má sì jẹ́ fún èrè ìjẹkújẹ, bí kò ṣe pẹ̀lú ìpinnu tí ó múra tan.
3 neither as being lords over God’s possessions, but being examples to the flock.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì í ṣe bí ẹni tí ń lo agbára lórí ìjọ, ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ ṣe ara yín ní àpẹẹrẹ fún agbo.
4 And when the chief shepherd shall appear, you shall receive the crown of glory that fades not away.
Nígbà tí Olórí Olùṣọ́-àgùntàn bá sì fi ara hàn, ẹ̀yin ó gba adé ògo ti kì í sá.
5 Likewise, you younger, be in subjection to the older: do you all indeed be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resists the proud, but gives grace to the lowly.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, ẹ̀yin ọ̀dọ́, ẹ tẹríba fún àwọn alàgbà. Àní, gbogbo yín ẹ máa tẹríba fún ara yín kí ẹ fi ìrẹ̀lẹ̀ wọ ara yín ní aṣọ: nítorí, “Ọlọ́run kọ ojú ìjà sí àwọn agbéraga, ṣùgbọ́n ó ń fi oore-ọ̀fẹ́ fún àwọn onírẹ̀lẹ̀.”
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the strong hand of God, that he may exalt you in due season.
Nítorí náà, ẹ rẹ ara yin sílẹ̀ lábẹ́ ọwọ́ agbára Ọlọ́run, kí òun lè gbe yín ga lákokò.
7 Cast all your cares on him, for he cares for you.
Ẹ máa kó gbogbo àníyàn yín lé e; nítorí tí òun ń ṣe ìtọ́jú yín.
8 Be sober, be watchful: for your adversary, the devil, like a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour.
Ẹ máa wà ni àìrékọjá, ẹ máa ṣọ́ra; nítorí èṣù ọ̀tá yín, bí i kìnnìún tí ń ké ramúramù, ó ń rìn káàkiri, ó ń wa ẹni tí yóò pajẹ.
9 Being firm in the faith, resist him, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world.
Ẹ kọ ojú ìjà sí i pẹ̀lú ìdúró ṣinṣin nínú ìgbàgbọ́, bí ẹ̀yin ti mọ̀ pé ìyà kan náà ni àwọn ará yín tí ń bẹ nínú ayé ń jẹ.
10 But may the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, confirm you. (aiōnios g166)
Ọlọ́run oore-ọ̀fẹ́ gbogbo, tí ó ti pè yín sínú ògo rẹ̀ tí kò nípẹ̀kun nínú Kristi Jesu, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá ti jìyà díẹ̀, òun tìkára rẹ̀, yóò sì ṣe yín ní àṣepé, yóò fi ẹsẹ̀ yín múlẹ̀, yóò fún yín lágbára, yóò fi ìdí yín kalẹ̀. (aiōnios g166)
Tìrẹ ni ògo àti agbára títí láé. Àmín. (aiōn g165)
12 By Sylvanus, a faithful brother to you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.
Nítorí Sila, arákùnrin wa olóòtítọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti kà á sí, ni mo kọ̀wé kúkúrú sí i yín, tí mo ń gbà yín níyànjú, tí mo sì ń jẹ́rìí pé, èyí ni òtítọ́ oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run: ẹ dúró ṣinṣin nínú rẹ̀.
13 The church in Babylon, elected together with you, salutes you, and so does Marcus my son.
Ìjọ tí ń bẹ ní Babeli, tí a yàn, pẹ̀lú kí yín, bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni Marku ọmọ mi pẹ̀lú.
14 Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus.
Ẹ fi ìfẹ́nukonu ìfẹ́ kí ara, yín. Àlàáfíà fún gbogbo yín tí ẹ wà nínú Kristi.
