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:
khrISTasya klEzAnAM sAkSI prakAziSyamANasya pratApasyAMzI prAcInazcAhaM yuSmAkaM prAcInAn vinIyEdaM vadAmi|
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;
yuSmAkaM madhyavarttI ya Izvarasya mESavRndO yUyaM taM pAlayata tasya vIkSaNaM kuruta ca, AvazyakatvEna nahi kintu svEcchAtO na va kulObhEna kintvicchukamanasA|
3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
aparam aMzAnAm adhikAriNa iva na prabhavata kintu vRndasya dRSTAntasvarUpA bhavata|
4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
tEna pradhAnapAlaka upasthitE yUyam amlAnaM gauravakirITaM lapsyadhvE|
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.”
hE yuvAnaH, yUyamapi prAcInalOkAnAM vazyA bhavata sarvvE ca sarvvESAM vazIbhUya namratAbharaNEna bhUSitA bhavata, yataH, AtmAbhimAnilOkAnAM vipakSO bhavatIzvaraH| kintu tEnaiva namrEbhyaH prasAdAd dIyatE varaH|
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you.
atO yUyam Izvarasya balavatkarasyAdhO namrIbhUya tiSThata tEna sa ucitasamayE yuSmAn uccIkariSyati|
7 Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
yUyaM sarvvacintAM tasmin nikSipata yataH sa yuSmAn prati cintayati|
8 Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
yUyaM prabuddhA jAgratazca tiSThata yatO yuSmAkaM prativAdI yaH zayatAnaH sa garjjanakArI siMha iva paryyaTan kaM grasiSyAmIti mRgayatE,
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.
atO vizvAsE susthirAstiSThantastEna sArddhaM yudhyata, yuSmAkaM jagannivAsibhrAtRSvapi tAdRzAH klEzA varttanta iti jAnIta|
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.
