1 Peter 5
1 THE presbyters among you I exhort, who am a co-presbyter and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker of the glory which shall be revealed:
Starješine koje su meðu vama molim koji sam i sam starješina i svjedok Hristova stradanja, i imam dijel u slavi koja æe se javiti:
2 feed the flock of God which is among you, exercising your pastoral office not of necessity, but of choice, not for base gain, but with alacrity of mind;
Pasite stado Božije, koje vam je predato, i nadgledajte ga, ne silom, nego dragovoljno, i po Bogu, niti za nepravedne dobitke, nego iz dobra srca;
3 not as domineering over your allotted congregations, but as being examples of the flock.
Niti kao da vladate narodom; nego bivajte ugledi stadu;
4 And when the arch Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that will never fade away.
I kad se javi poglavar pastirski, primiæete vijenac slave koji neæe uvenuti.
5 In like manner, ye who are younger persons, be in subjection to your elders: but all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed from head to foot with humility: for God sets himself in opposition to the proud, but he giveth grace to the lowly.
Tako vi mladi slušajte starješine; a svi se slušajte meðu sobom, i stecite poniznost; jer se Bog ponositima suproti, a poniženima daje blagodat.
6 Humble yourselves therefore beneath the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due season:
Ponizite se dakle pod silnu ruku Božiju, da vas povisi kad doðe vrijeme.
7 casting all your anxiety upon him; for he careth for you.
Sve svoje brige bacite na nj, jer se on brine za vas.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; for your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, prowleth around, seeking whom he may devour:
Budite trijezni i pazite, jer suparnik vaš, ðavo, kao lav rièuæi hodi i traži koga da proždere.
9 against whom stand fast, firm in the faith, knowing that the very same sufferings are fully endured by the brotherhood which is in the world.
Branite se od njega tvrðom u vjeri, znajuæi da se takova stradanja dogaðaju vašoj braæi po svijetu.
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, when ye have suffered a little while, himself perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. (aiōnios g166)
A Bog svake blagodati, koji vas pozva na vjeènu svoju slavu u Hristu Isusu, on da vas, pošto malo postradate, savrši, da utvrdi, da ukrijepi, da utemelji. (aiōnios g166)
Njemu slava i država va vijek vijeka. Amin. (aiōn g165)
12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother as I think, I have written to you a few words, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye are standing fast.
Po Silvanu, vašemu vjernom bratu, kao što mislim, pišem vam ovo malo, svjetujuæi i svjedoèeæi da je ovo prava blagodat Božija u kojoj stojite.
13 She who is co-elect at Babylon, saluteth you, and my son Mark.
Pozdravlja vas crkva s vama izbrana u Vavilonu, i Marko sin moj.
14 Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Pozdravite jedan drugoga cjelivom ljubavi. Mir vam svima u Hristu Isusu. Amin.
