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; —
Starešine, ki so med vami, spodbujam jaz, ki sem tudi starešina in priča Kristusovih trpljenj in tudi soudeleženec slave, ki se bo razodela;
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, —
pasite Božji trop, ki je med vami in prevzemite nadzor nad njim, ne s prisilo, temveč voljno; ne zaradi umazane grabežljivosti, temveč s primernim namenom;
3 Nor yet as lording it over the allotted portions, but becoming, ensamples, to the beloved flock;
niti kakor bi bili gospodarji nad Božjo dediščino, temveč zgledi tropu.
4 And, when the Chief Shepherd is manifested, ye shall bear away, the unfading crown of glory.
In ko se bo pojavil glavni Pastir, boste prejeli krono slave, ki ne propada.
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.
Podobno se vi mlajši podredite starejšim. Da, vsi izmed vas bodite podrejeni drug drugemu in bodite oblečeni s ponižnostjo; kajti Bog se ponosnim upira, ponižnim pa daje milost.
6 Be made lowly, therefore, under the strong hand of God, that he may lift, you, up in due time, —
Ponižajte se torej pod mogočno Božjo roko, da vas bo lahko ob primernem času povišal.
7 All your anxiety, casting upon him, because he careth for you.
Vso svojo skrb vrzite nanj, kajti on skrbi za vas.
8 Be sober! be watchful! Your slanderous adversary, as a roaring lion, is walking about—seeking to devour:
Bodite trezni, bodite oprezni, ker vaš nasprotnik hudič hodi naokrog kakor rjoveč lev in išče, koga bi lahko požrl;
9 Whom resist, steadfast in your faith, knowing that, the same sufferings, in your brotherhood that is in the world, are being accomplished.
kateremu se uprite neomajni v veri, vedoč, da so ista trpljenja dovršena v vaših bratih, ki so po svetu.
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)
Toda Bog vse milosti, ki nas je poklical v svojo večno slavo po Kristusu Jezusu, potem ko ste nekaj časa trpeli, vas stori popolne, utrjene, okrepljene, vas ustali. (aiōnios g166)
Njemu bodi slava in gospostvo na veke vekov. Amen. (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!
Po Silvánu, zvestemu bratu, sem vam, kakor mislim, napisal na kratko in spodbujal ter pričeval, da je to resnična Božja milost, v kateri stojite.
13 She who, in Babylon, is co-elect, and Mark my son, salute you:
Pozdravlja vas cerkev, ki je v Babilonu, izvoljena skupaj z vami, in tudi Marko, moj sin.
14 Salute ye one another with a kiss of love. Peace unto you all who are in Christ.
Pozdravite drug drugega s poljubom ljubezni. Mir bodi z vami vsemi, ki ste v Kristusu Jezusu. Amen.
