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,
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 feed the flock of God that [is] among you, overseeing not by compulsion, but willingly, neither for shameful gain, but eagerly,
Vogter Guds Hjord hos eder, og fører Tilsyn med den, ikke tvungne, men frivilligt, ikke for slet Vindings Skyld, men med Redebonhed;
3 neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but becoming patterns for the flock,
ikke heller som de, der ville herske over Menighederne, men som Mønstre for Hjorden;
4 and the Chief Shepherd having appeared, you will receive the unfading garland of glory.
og naar da Overhyrden aabenbares, skulle I faa Herlighedens uvisnelige Krans.
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;
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 be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that He may exalt you in good time,
Derfor ydmyger eder under Guds vældige Haand, for at han i sin Tid maa ophøje eder.
7 having cast all your care on Him, because He cares for you.
Kaster al eders Sorg paa ham, thi han har Omsorg for eder.
8 Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the Devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may swallow up,
Værer ædrue, vaager; eders Modstander, Djævelen, gaar omkring som en brølende Løve, søgende, hvem han kan opsluge.
9 whom you must resist, steadfast in the faith, having known the same sufferings of your brotherhood to be accomplished 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, who called you to His perpetual glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle [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 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.
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 She in Babylon chosen with you greets you, and my son Marcus.
Den medudvalgte i Babylon og min Søn, Markus, hilser eder.
14 Greet one another in a kiss of love. Peace to you all who [are] in Christ Jesus! Amen.
Hilser hverandre med Kærligheds Kys! Fred være med eder alle, som ere i Kristus!
