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:
Koa ny amin’ ny loholona izay eo aminareo, izaho, izay naman ny loholona sy vavolombelon’ ny fijalian’ i Kristy ary mpiombona ny voninahitra efa haseho koa, dia mananatra azy hoe:
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;
Andraso ny ondrin’ Andriamanitra izay eo aminareo, mitandrina azy tsy an-terỳ, fa amin’ ny sitrapo [araka an’ Andriamanitra]; tsy amin’ ny fitiavana harena maloto, fa amin’ ny zotom-panahy;
3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
tsy ho mpanjakazaka, amin’ ny anjara-fiandrasana, fa ho fianaran’ ny ondry.
4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
Ary rehefa miseho ny Lohan’ ny mpiandry, dia hahazo ny satro-boninahitra tsy mety simba ianareo,
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.”
Ary ianareo izay mbola tanora fanahy kosa, dia maneke ny loholona. Eny, samia misikìna fanetren-tena ianareo ka mifanompoa; fa “Andriamanitra manohitra ny miavonavona, fa manome fahasoavana ho an’ ny manetry tena”.
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you.
Koa amin’ izany manetre tena ambanin’ ny tàna-maherin’ Andriamanitra, mba hanandratany anareo amin’ ny fotoan’ andro;
7 Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
ary apetraho aminy ny fanahianareo rehetra; fa Izy no miahy anareo.
8 Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
Mahonòna tena, miambena: fa ny devoly fahavalonareo mandehandeha tahaka ny liona mierona mitady izay harapany;
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.
tohero izy, ka miorena tsara amin’ ny finoana ianareo, satria fantatrareo fa izany fahoriana izany dia manjo ny rahalahinareo rehetra eran’ izao tontolo izao.
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)
Ary Andriamanitry ny fahasoavana rehetra, Izay efa niantso anareo ho any amin’ ny voninahiny mandrakizay ao amin’ i Kristy, rehefa niaritra fahoriana vetivety ianareo, dia Izy no hahatanteraka sy hampiorina ary hampitoetra anareo. (aiōnios g166)
Ho Azy anie ny fanjakana mandrakizay mandrakizay. Amena. (aiōn g165)
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.
Efa manoratra teny fohifohy ho aminareo aho hampitondraina an’ i Silasy, izay ataoko ho rahalahy mahatoky, dia mananatra anareo aho ka manambara fa izany no tena fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra, ― tomoera tsara amin’ izany ianareo.
13 The church in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, as does my son Mark.
Izay any Babylona, voafidy ho namanareo, manao veloma anareo, ary Marka zanako koa.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
Mifanaova veloma amin’ ny fanoroham-pitiavana. Ho aminareo rehetra izay ao amin’ i Kristy anie ny fiadanana.
