< 1 Peter 5 >

1 Elders, therefore, among you, I exhort—[I] who am their co-elder and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, who also, in the glory about to be revealed, have, a share; —
khrīṣṭasya klēśānāṁ sākṣī prakāśiṣyamāṇasya pratāpasyāṁśī prācīnaścāhaṁ yuṣmākaṁ prācīnān vinīyēdaṁ vadāmi|
2 Shepherd the beloved flock of God, which is among you, —not by compulsion, but by choice, nor yet for base gain, but of a ready mind, —
yuṣmākaṁ madhyavarttī ya īśvarasya mēṣavr̥ndō yūyaṁ taṁ pālayata tasya vīkṣaṇaṁ kuruta ca, āvaśyakatvēna nahi kintu svēcchātō na va kulōbhēna kintvicchukamanasā|
3 Nor yet as lording it over the allotted portions, but becoming, ensamples, to the beloved flock;
aparam aṁśānām adhikāriṇa iva na prabhavata kintu vr̥ndasya dr̥ṣṭāntasvarūpā bhavata|
4 And, when the Chief Shepherd is manifested, ye shall bear away, the unfading crown of glory.
tēna pradhānapālaka upasthitē yūyam amlānaṁ gauravakirīṭaṁ lapsyadhvē|
5 In like manner, ye younger men—submit yourselves unto elders; —All, however, one towards another, gird on humility; because, God, against the haughty, arrayeth himself, whereas, unto the lowly, he giveth favour.
hē yuvānaḥ, yūyamapi prācīnalōkānāṁ vaśyā bhavata sarvvē ca sarvvēṣāṁ vaśībhūya namratābharaṇēna bhūṣitā bhavata, yataḥ, ātmābhimānilōkānāṁ vipakṣō bhavatīśvaraḥ| kintu tēnaiva namrēbhyaḥ prasādād dīyatē varaḥ|
6 Be made lowly, therefore, under the strong hand of God, that he may lift, you, up in due time, —
atō yūyam īśvarasya balavatkarasyādhō namrībhūya tiṣṭhata tēna sa ucitasamayē yuṣmān uccīkariṣyati|
7 All your anxiety, casting upon him, because he careth for you.
yūyaṁ sarvvacintāṁ tasmin nikṣipata yataḥ sa yuṣmān prati cintayati|
8 Be sober! be watchful! Your slanderous adversary, as a roaring lion, is walking about—seeking to devour:
yūyaṁ prabuddhā jāgrataśca tiṣṭhata yatō yuṣmākaṁ prativādī yaḥ śayatānaḥ sa garjjanakārī siṁha iva paryyaṭan kaṁ grasiṣyāmīti mr̥gayatē,
9 Whom resist, steadfast in your faith, knowing that, the same sufferings, in your brotherhood that is in the world, are being accomplished.
atō viśvāsē susthirāstiṣṭhantastēna sārddhaṁ yudhyata, yuṣmākaṁ jagannivāsibhrātr̥ṣvapi tādr̥śāḥ klēśā varttanta iti jānīta|
10 Howbeit, the God of all favour—who hath called you unto his age-abiding glory in Christ—when, for a little, ye have suffered, Himself, will adjust, confirm, strengthen: — (aiōnios g166)
kṣaṇikaduḥkhabhōgāt param asmabhyaṁ khrīṣṭēna yīśunā svakīyānantagauravadānārthaṁ yō'smān āhūtavān sa sarvvānugrāhīśvaraḥ svayaṁ yuṣmān siddhān sthirān sabalān niścalāṁśca karōtu| (aiōnios g166)
11 Unto him, be the dominion, unto the ages. Amen! (aiōn g165)
tasya gauravaṁ parākramaścānantakālaṁ yāvad bhūyāt| āmēn| (aiōn g165)
12 By Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I account him, have I briefly written, unto you, exhorting and adding testimony—that, this, is the true favour of God—within which, stand ye fast!
yaḥ silvānō (manyē) yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsyō bhrātā bhavati tadvārāhaṁ saṁkṣēpēṇa likhitvā yuṣmān vinītavān yūyañca yasmin adhitiṣṭhatha sa ēvēśvarasya satyō 'nugraha iti pramāṇaṁ dattavān|
13 She who, in Babylon, is co-elect, and Mark my son, salute you:
yuṣmābhiḥ sahābhirucitā yā samiti rbābili vidyatē sā mama putrō mārkaśca yuṣmān namaskāraṁ vēdayati|
14 Salute ye one another with a kiss of love. Peace unto you all who are in Christ.
yūyaṁ prēmacumbanēna parasparaṁ namaskuruta| yīśukhrīṣṭāśritānāṁ yuṣmākaṁ sarvvēṣāṁ śānti rbhūyāt| āmēn|
