1 Peter 5
1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
Starešine, ki so med vami, spodbujam jaz, ki sem tudi starešina in priča Kristusovih trpljenj in tudi soudeleženec slave, ki se bo razodela;
2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight [thereof], not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
pasite Božji trop, ki je med vami in prevzemite nadzor nad njim, ne s prisilo, temveč voljno; ne zaradi umazane grabežljivosti, temveč s primernim namenom;
3 Neither as being lords over [God’s] heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
niti kakor bi bili gospodarji nad Božjo dediščino, temveč zgledi tropu.
4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
In ko se bo pojavil glavni Pastir, boste prejeli krono slave, ki ne propada.
5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
Podobno se vi mlajši podredite starejšim. Da, vsi izmed vas bodite podrejeni drug drugemu in bodite oblečeni s ponižnostjo; kajti Bog se ponosnim upira, ponižnim pa daje milost.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
Ponižajte se torej pod mogočno Božjo roko, da vas bo lahko ob primernem času povišal.
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Vso svojo skrb vrzite nanj, kajti on skrbi za vas.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Bodite trezni, bodite oprezni, ker vaš nasprotnik hudič hodi naokrog kakor rjoveč lev in išče, koga bi lahko požrl;
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
kateremu se uprite neomajni v veri, vedoč, da so ista trpljenja dovršena v vaših bratih, ki so po svetu.
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you]. (aiōnios g166)
Toda Bog vse milosti, ki nas je poklical v svojo večno slavo po Kristusu Jezusu, potem ko ste nekaj časa trpeli, vas stori popolne, utrjene, okrepljene, vas ustali. (aiōnios g166)
Njemu bodi slava in gospostvo na veke vekov. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.
Po Silvánu, zvestemu bratu, sem vam, kakor mislim, napisal na kratko in spodbujal ter pričeval, da je to resnična Božja milost, v kateri stojite.
13 The [church that is] at Babylon, elected together with [you], saluteth you; and [so doth] Marcus my son.
Pozdravlja vas cerkev, ki je v Babilonu, izvoljena skupaj z vami, in tudi Marko, moj sin.
14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace [be] with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Pozdravite drug drugega s poljubom ljubezni. Mir bodi z vami vsemi, ki ste v Kristusu Jezusu. Amen.
