1 Peter 5
1 Elders who [are] among you, I exhort [you], [as] a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and a partaker of the glory about to be revealed,
所以我這同為長老的，為基督苦難作證的，以及同享那將要顯示的光榮的人，勸勉你們中間的眾長老：
2 feed the flock of God that [is] among you, overseeing not by compulsion, but willingly, neither for shameful gain, but eagerly,
你們務要牧放天主托付給你們的羊群；盡監督之職，不是出於不得已，而是出於甘心，隨天主的聖意；也不是出於貪卑鄙的利益，而是出於情願；
3 neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but becoming patterns for the flock,
不是做托你們照管者的主宰，而是做群羊的模範：
4 and the Chief Shepherd having appeared, you will receive the unfading garland of glory.
這樣，當總司牧出現時，你們必領受那不朽的榮冠。
5 In like manner, you young [ones], be subject to elders, and all subjecting yourselves to one another; clothe yourselves with humble-mindedness, because God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble;
同樣，你們青年人，應該服從長老；大家都該穿上謙卑作服裝，彼此侍候，因為『天主拒絕驕傲人，卻賞賜恩寵於謙遜人。』
6 be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that He may exalt you in good time,
為此，你們該屈服在天主大能的手下，這樣在適當的時候，他必舉揚你們；
7 having cast all your care on Him, because He cares for you.
將你們的一切掛慮都託給他，因為他必關照你們。
8 Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the Devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may swallow up,
你們要節制，要醒寤，因為，你們的仇敵魔鬼，如同咆哮的獅子巡遊，尋找可吞食的人；
9 whom you must resist, steadfast in the faith, having known the same sufferings of your brotherhood to be accomplished in the world.
應以堅固的信德抵抗他，也該知道：你們在世上的眾弟兄，都遭受同樣的苦痛。
10 And the God of all grace, who called you to His perpetual glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle [you]; (aiōnios g166)
那賜萬恩的天主，即在基督內召叫你們進入他永遠光榮的天主，在你們受少許苦痛之後，必要親自使你們更為成全、堅定、強健、穩固。 (aiōnios g166)
願光榮與權能歸於他，至於無窮之世。阿們。 (aiōn g165)
12 Through Silvanus, the faithful brother as I reckon, I wrote through few [words] to you, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which you have stood.
我藉忠信的弟兄息耳瓦諾，給你們寫了這封我認為簡短的書信，為勸勉你們，並為證明這實在是天主的恩寵：在這恩寵上你們應該站穩。
13 She in Babylon chosen with you greets you, and my son Marcus.
與你們一同被選的巴比倫教會問候你們；我兒馬爾谷也問候你們。
14 Greet one another in a kiss of love. Peace to you all who [are] in Christ Jesus! Amen.
你們要以愛的親吻，彼此問候。願平安與在基督內的你們眾人同在。
