1 Peter 5
1 The seniors who are among you, I exhort, who am also a senior, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory which is 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, which is with you; exercising the overseer's office, not by constraint, but willingly; neither for the sake of sordid gain, but from good disposition;
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 lording it over the heritage of God, but, being patterns to the flock:
ikke heller som de, der ville herske over Menighederne, men som Mønstre for Hjorden;
4 and when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive the crown of glory which fades not away.
og naar da Overhyrden aabenbares, skulle I faa Herlighedens uvisnelige Krans.
5 For the like reason, you younger persons subject yourselves to the seniors. Yes, all be subject to one another, and be clothed with humility, for God resists the proud but gives favor 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, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.
Derfor ydmyger eder under Guds vældige Haand, for at han i sin Tid maa ophøje eder.
7 Cast all your anxious care on him, because he cares for you.
Kaster al eders Sorg paa ham, thi han har Omsorg for eder.
8 Be sober, be vigilant: your adversary, the devil, is walking about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour:
Værer ædrue, vaager; eders Modstander, Djævelen, gaar omkring som en brølende Løve, søgende, hvem han kan opsluge.
9 whom resist, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the very same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren, who are in the world.
Staar ham imod, faste i Troen, vidende, at de samme Lidelser fuldbyrdes paa eders Brødre i Verden.
10 And may the God of all favor, who has called us to his eternal glory, by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, himself make you complete; support, strengthen, establish 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 By Sylvanus, a faithful brother, (as I conclude, ) I have written to you in in few words, exhorting you, and strongly testifying that this is the true favor of God, in which you stand.
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 They at Babylon, elected jointly with you, and Mark, my son, salute you.
Den medudvalgte i Babylon og min Søn, Markus, hilser eder.
14 Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace to you all, who are in Christ Jesus.
Hilser hverandre med Kærligheds Kys! Fred være med eder alle, som ere i Kristus!
