1 Peter 5
1 Therefore, I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Meshikha, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed.
Πρεσβυτέρους οὖν ἐν ὑμῖν παρακαλῶ, ὁ συμπρεσβύτερος καὶ μάρτυς τῶν τοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ παθημάτων, ὁ καὶ τῆς μελλούσης ἀποκαλύπτεσθαι δόξης κοινωνός,
2 Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily, as God wants; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
ποιμάνατε τὸ ἐν ὑμῖν ποίμνιον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, μὴ ἀναγκαστῶς, ἀλλὰ ἑκουσίως, κατὰ ˚Θεόν, μηδὲ αἰσχροκερδῶς, ἀλλὰ προθύμως,
3 neither as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
μηδʼ ὡς κατακυριεύοντες τῶν κλήρων, ἀλλὰ τύποι γινόμενοι τοῦ ποιμνίου.
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
Καὶ φανερωθέντος τοῦ ἀρχιποίμενος, κομιεῖσθε τὸν ἀμαράντινον τῆς δόξης στέφανον.
5 Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility, towards one another; for God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
Ὁμοίως, νεώτεροι, ὑποτάγητε πρεσβυτέροις. Πάντες, δὲ ἀλλήλοις τὴν ταπεινοφροσύνην ἐγκομβώσασθε ὅτι, “Ὁ ˚Θεὸς ὑπερηφάνοις ἀντιτάσσεται, ταπεινοῖς δὲ δίδωσιν χάριν.”
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;
Ταπεινώθητε οὖν ὑπὸ τὴν κραταιὰν χεῖρα τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ἵνα ὑμᾶς ὑψώσῃ ἐν καιρῷ,
7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
πᾶσαν τὴν μέριμναν ὑμῶν ἐπιρίψαντες ἐπʼ αὐτόν, ὅτι αὐτῷ μέλει περὶ ὑμῶν.
8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Νήψατε, γρηγορήσατε. Ὁ ἀντίδικος ὑμῶν, διάβολος, ὡς λέων ὠρυόμενος περιπατεῖ, ζητῶν καταπιεῖν·
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
ᾧ ἀντίστητε, στερεοὶ τῇ πίστει, εἰδότες τὰ αὐτὰ τῶν παθημάτων, τῇ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ὑμῶν ἀδελφότητι ἐπιτελεῖσθαι.
10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Meshikha, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen and establish you. (aiōnios g166)
Ὁ δὲ ˚Θεὸς πάσης χάριτος, ὁ καλέσας ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν αἰώνιον αὐτοῦ δόξαν ἐν ˚Χριστῷ, ὀλίγον παθόντας, αὐτὸς καταρτίσει, στηρίξει, σθενώσει, (aiōnios g166)
αὐτῷ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Ἀμήν! (aiōn g165)
12 Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.
Διὰ Σιλουανοῦ, ὑμῖν τοῦ πιστοῦ ἀδελφοῦ (ὡς λογίζομαι), διʼ ὀλίγων ἔγραψα, παρακαλῶν καὶ ἐπιμαρτυρῶν ταύτην εἶναι ἀληθῆ χάριν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, εἰς ἣν στῆτε.
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you; and so does Markos, my son.
Ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς ἡ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι συνεκλεκτὴ, καὶ Μᾶρκος, ὁ υἱός μου.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Meshikha.
Ἀσπάσασθε ἀλλήλους ἐν φιλήματι ἀγάπης. Εἰρήνη ὑμῖν πᾶσιν, τοῖς ἐν ˚Χριστῷ.
