< 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,
Seniores ergo, qui in vobis sunt, obsecro, consenior et testis Christi passionum: qui et eius, quae in futuro revelanda est, gloriae communicator:
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:
pascite qui in vobis est gregem Dei, providentes non coacte, sed spontanee secundum Deum: neque turpis lucri gratia, sed voluntarie:
3 Not as though ye were lords ouer Gods heritage, but that yee may bee ensamples to the flocke.
neque ut dominantes in cleris, sed forma facti gregis ex animo.
4 And when that chiefe shepheard shall appeare, ye shall receiue an incorruptible crowne of glory.
Et cum apparuerit princeps pastorum, percipietis immarcescibilem gloriae coronam.
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.
Similiter adolescentes subditi estote senioribus. Omnes autem invicem humilitatem insinuate, quia Deus superbis resistit, humilibus autem dat gratiam.
6 Humble your selues therefore vnder the mightie hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.
Humiliamini igitur sub potenti manu Dei, ut vos exaltet in tempore visitationis:
7 Cast all your care on him: for he careth for you.
omnem solicitudinem vestram proiicientes in eum, quoniam ipsi cura est de vobis.
8 Be sober, and watch: for your aduersarie the deuil as a roaring lyon walketh about, seeking whom he may deuoure:
Sobrii estote, et vigilate: quia adversarius vester diabolus tamquam leo rugiens circuit, quaerens quem devoret:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren which are in the world.
Cui resistite fortes in fide: scientes eamdem passionem ei, quae in mundo est, vestrae fraternitati fieri.
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 )
Deus autem omnis gratiae, qui vocavit nos in aeternam suam gloriam in Christo Iesu, modicum passos ipse perficiet, confirmabit, solidabitque. (aiōnios )
11 To him be glory and dominion for euer and euer, Amen. (aiōn )
Ipsi gloria, et imperium in saecula saeculorum: Amen. (aiōn )
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.
Per Silvanum fidelem fratrem vobis, ut arbitror, breviter scripsi: obsecrans et contestans, hanc esse veram gratiam Dei, in qua statis.
13 The Church that is at Babylon elected together with you, saluteth you, and Marcus my sonne.
Salutat vos Ecclesia, quae est in Babylone collecta, et Marcus filius meus.
14 Greete yee one another with the kisse of loue. Peace be with you all which are in Christ Iesus, Amen.
Salutate invicem in osculo sancto: Gratia vobis omnibus, qui estis in Christo Iesu. Amen.
