1 Peter 5
1 As a fellow elder, a witness of Christ’s sufferings, and a partaker of the glory to be revealed, I appeal to the elders among you:
ⲁ̅ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ϭⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲱⲥ ϣⲃⲣⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲟⲕϩⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲱⲥ ⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϭⲱⲗⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
2 Be shepherds of God’s flock that is among you, watching over them not out of compulsion, but because it is God’s will; not out of greed, but out of eagerness;
ⲃ̅ϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲟϩⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲧⲟⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϩⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲙⲁⲓ ϩⲏⲩ ⲛϣⲗⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲣⲟⲧ
3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
ⲅ̅ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲧⲩⲡⲟⲥ ⲉⲡⲟϩⲉ
4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
ⲇ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲛⲟϭ ⲛϣⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲗⲟⲙ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲙⲉϥϩⲱϭⲃ
5 Young men, in the same way, submit yourselves to your elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
ⲉ̅ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ ⲑⲃⲃⲉⲓⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲛϫⲁⲥⲓ ϩⲏⲧ ϥϯ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲑⲃⲃⲓⲏⲩ
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you.
ⲋ̅ⲑⲃⲃⲓⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϭⲉ ϩⲁ ⲧϭⲓϫ ⲉⲧϫⲟⲟⲣ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲣⲉϥϫⲉⲥ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ
7 Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

8 Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
ⲏ̅ⲛⲏⲫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲣⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲧⲓⲇⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲗϩⲏⲙ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲓⲙⲟⲩⲓ ⲉϥϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲱⲙⲕ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲯⲩⲭⲏ
9 Resist him, standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.
ⲑ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲣⲁⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲟⲟⲣ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲓϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲛⲧ ⲥⲟⲛ ⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ
10 And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore you, secure you, strengthen you, and establish you. (aiōnios g166)

12 Through Silvanus, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.

13 The church in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, as does my son Mark.

14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
