1 Peter 5
1 The elders which [are] among you I exhort, who [am their] fellow-elder and witness of the sufferings of the Christ, who also [am] partaker of the glory about to be revealed:
第二項 牧師及び信徒に関する特別の勧告。 汝等の中の長老には、我も共に長老として、又キリストの苦難の證人として、将來顕るべき光榮に與る者として希ふ。
2 shepherd the flock of God which [is] among you, exercising oversight, not by necessity, but willingly; not for base gain, but readily;
汝等の中に在る所の神の羊の群を牧せよ、之を監督するに、強ひられてせずして喜びて神の御為にし、耻かしき利の為にせずして特志を以て行ひ、
3 not as lording it over your possessions, but being models for the flock.
托せられたる人々を壓制せずして、心より群の模範と成るべし。
4 And when the chief shepherd is manifested ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.
然らば大牧者の顕れ給はん時、汝等凋まざる光榮の冠を得べし。
5 Likewise [ye] younger, be subject to [the] elder, and all of you bind on humility towards one another; for God sets himself against [the] proud, but to [the] humble gives grace.
若き者よ、汝等も亦長老に服せよ、皆互に謙遜を帯びよ、神は傲慢なる者に逆らひて、謙遜なる者に恩寵を賜へばなり。
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in [the due] time;
然れば汝等、神の全能なる御手の下に謙れ、然せば時至りて彼汝等を高め給はん。
7 having cast all your care upon him, for he cares about you.
思ひ煩ふ所を悉く神に委ね奉れ、神は汝等の為に慮り給へばなり。
8 Be vigilant, watch. Your adversary [the] devil as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour.
汝等節制して警戒せよ、其は汝等の仇なる惡魔は、吼ゆる獅子の如く、食盡すべきものを探しつつ行廻ればなり、
9 Whom resist, stedfast in faith, knowing that the selfsame sufferings are accomplished in your brotherhood which [is] in [the] world.
汝等此世に在る兄弟等の同じく苦しめる事を知りて、信仰に心を堅めて之に抵抗せよ。
10 But the God of all grace who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, when ye have suffered for a little while, himself shall make perfect, stablish, strengthen, ground: (aiōnios g166)
一切の恩寵の神はキリスト、イエズスによりて其永遠の光榮に汝等を呼び給ひしものなれば、聊苦しみたる上は、御自ら完全にし堅うし強からしめ給はん、 (aiōnios g166)
光榮と主権と世々之に歸す、アメン。 (aiōn g165)
12 By Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I suppose, I have written to you briefly; exhorting and testifying that this is [the] true grace of God in which ye stand.
結末。 忠信なる兄弟シルヴァノを以て我が汝等に書贈りし所は、我思ふに簡単なり。是此神の恩寵の眞なる事を勧告し、且保證するもののにして、汝等宜しく之に立つべし。
13 She that is elected with [you] in Babylon salutes you, and Marcus my son.
汝等と共に選まれてバビロンに在る教會、及び我子マルコは汝等に宜しくと言へり。
14 Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all who [are] in Christ.
愛の接吻を以て互に宜しく傳へよ。願はくは、キリストに在る汝等一同に平安あらん事を、アメン。
