1 Peter 5
1 The ancients therefore that are among you, I beseech, who am myself also an ancient, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ: as also a partaker of that glory which is to be revealed in time to come:
Mwen menm ki yon chèf reskonsab, m'ap pale koulye a ak chèf reskonsab ki nan mitan nou yo. Mwen menm ki te wè jan Kris la te soufri a, mwen pral patisipe tou nan bèl pouvwa Bondye ki gen pou parèt la.
2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking care of it, not by constraint, but willingly, according to God: not for filthy lucre’s sake, but voluntarily:
Men sa m'ap di nou: Tankou gadò, se pou nou swen bann mouton Bondye ki sou kont nou an. Pa fè sa tankou si se fòse y'ap fòse nou. Men, fè l' paske nou vle fè sa Bondye vle. Pa fè travay la tankou si se dèyè lajan nou ye. Men, fè l' ak tout kè nou.
3 Neither as lording it over the clergy, but being made a pattern of the flock from the heart.
Pa fè menm jan ak chèf k'ap maltrete moun ki sou kont yo. Okontrè, se pou nou tounen yon egzanp pou mouton yo.
4 And when the prince of pastors shall appear, you shall receive a never fading crown of glory.
Konsa, lè gran gadò a va parèt, n'a resevwa yon kouwòn ki p'ap janm fennen: n'a resevwa lwanj Bondye.
5 In like manner, ye young men, be subject to the ancients. And do you all insinuate humility one to another, for God resisteth the proud, but to the humble he giveth grace.
Menm jan an tou, nou menm jennjan yo, se pou nou soumèt devan chèf reskonsab yo. Nan tout rapò nou yonn ak lòt, se pou nou soumèt devan Bondye. Paske Bondye pran pozisyon kont moun ki gen lògèy. Men, moun ki soumèt devan l', li ba yo favè li.
6 Be you humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in the time of visitation:
Se poutèt sa, soumèt nou devan Bondye ki gen pouvwa, konsa la leve nou lè pou l' leve nou an.
7 Casting all your care upon him, for he hath care of you.
Lage tout tèt chaje nou yo ba li, paske l'ap pran swen nou.
8 Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour.
Kenbe tèt nou anplas, rete sou prigad nou. Paske dyab la, lènmi nou an, ap veye nou tankou yon lyon ki move, k'ap chache moun pou l' devore.
9 Whom resist ye, strong in faith: knowing that the same affliction befalls your brethren who are in the world.
Kanpe fèm nan konfyans nou, kenbe tèt avè l', paske nou konnen lòt frè nou yo ki nan lemonn ap soufri menm soufrans ak nou.
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself perfect you, and confirm you, and establish you. (aiōnios g166)
Men, apre n'a fin soufri yon ti tan, Bondye li menm va rann nou bon nèt, la kenbe nou fèm, la ban nou fòs, l'ap fè nou kanpe san brannen. Paske Bondye bay tout kalite favè. Se li menm ki te rele nou, gremesi Kris la, pou n' te patisipe nan pouvwa li ki p'ap janm fini. (aiōnios g166)
Se pou li tout pouvwa a, depi tout tan ak pou tout tan. Amèn. (aiōn g165)
12 By Sylvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I think, I have written briefly: beseeching and testifying that this is the true grace of God, wherein you stand.
Se avèk konkou frè Silven, yon nonm serye dapre sa mwen konnen, m'ap ekri nou lèt sa a, pou m' ka ankouraje nou, pou m' fè nou konnen jan favè Bondye pou nou an se yon bagay ki vre. Kenbe fèm nan li.
13 The church that is in Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you: and so doth my son Mark.
Legliz Bondye chwazi nan lavil Babilòn lan voye bonjou pou nou, ansanm ak Mak, pitit mwen an.
14 Salute one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all you, who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Bò pa nou, yonn di lòt bonjou pou mwen, yonn bo lòt tankou frè ak frè. Mwen mande pou nou tout k'ap viv ansanm nan Kris la, pou nou gen kè poze.
