1 Peter 5
1 The elders which are among you, I beseech which am also an elder, and a witnesse of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shalbe reueiled,
De Ældste iblandt eder formaner jeg som Medældste og Vidne til Kristi Lidelser, som den, der ogsaa har Del i Herligheden, der skal aabenbares:
2 Feede the flocke of God, which dependeth vpon you, caring for it not by constraint, but willingly: not for filthy lucre, but of a ready minde:
Vogter Guds Hjord hos eder, og fører Tilsyn med den, ikke tvungne, men frivilligt, ikke for slet Vindings Skyld, men med Redebonhed;
3 Not as though ye were lords ouer Gods heritage, but that yee may bee ensamples to the flocke.
ikke heller som de, der ville herske over Menighederne, men som Mønstre for Hjorden;
4 And when that chiefe shepheard shall appeare, ye shall receiue an incorruptible crowne of glory.
og naar da Overhyrden aabenbares, skulle I faa Herlighedens uvisnelige Krans.
5 Likewise ye yonger, submit your selues vnto the elders, and submit your selues euery man, one to another: decke your selues inwardly in lowlinesse of minde: for God resisteth the proude, and giueth grace to the humble.
Ligesaa, I unge! underordner eder under de ældre; og ifører eder alle Ydmyghed imod hverandre; thi „Gud staar de hoffærdige imod, men de ydmyge giver han Naade.‟
6 Humble your selues therefore vnder the mightie hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.
Derfor ydmyger eder under Guds vældige Haand, for at han i sin Tid maa ophøje eder.
7 Cast all your care on him: for he careth for you.
Kaster al eders Sorg paa ham, thi han har Omsorg for eder.
8 Be sober, and watch: for your aduersarie the deuil as a roaring lyon walketh about, seeking whom he may deuoure:
Værer ædrue, vaager; eders Modstander, Djævelen, gaar omkring som en brølende Løve, søgende, hvem han kan opsluge.
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren which are in the world.
Staar ham imod, faste i Troen, vidende, at de samme Lidelser fuldbyrdes paa eders Brødre i Verden.
10 And the God of all grace, which hath called vs vnto his eternall glory by Christ Iesus, after that ye haue suffered a litle, make you perfite, confirme, strengthen and stablish you. (aiōnios g166)
Men al Naades Gud, som kaldte eder til sin evige Herlighed i Kristus Jesus efter en kort Tids Lidelse, han vil selv fuldelig berede eder, styrke, bekræfte, grundfæste eder! (aiōnios g166)
Ham tilhører Magten i Evighedernes Evigheder! Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 By Syluanus a faithfull brother vnto you, as I suppose, haue I written briefly, exhorting and testifying how that this is the true grace of God, wherein ye stand.
Med Silvanus, den trofaste Broder (thi det holder jeg ham for), har jeg i Korthed skrevet eder til for at formane og bevidne, at dette er Guds sande Naade, hvori I staa.
13 The Church that is at Babylon elected together with you, saluteth you, and Marcus my sonne.
Den medudvalgte i Babylon og min Søn, Markus, hilser eder.
14 Greete yee one another with the kisse of loue. Peace be with you all which are in Christ Iesus, Amen.
Hilser hverandre med Kærligheds Kys! Fred være med eder alle, som ere i Kristus!
