1 Peter 5
1 [Now I will say this to those among] you who are elders in the congregations: I also am an elder. I am one [of those] who saw Christ when he suffered, and I am also one who will share some of the glory/greatness that Christ has in heaven.
我想鼓励你们中的长老们。我也是一名长老，是基督受难的见证人，那即将到来的荣耀将有我的一份。
2 [I appeal to you elders] to take care of the people who are in your [congregations] [MET] as shepherds [take care of their] flocks of sheep. Do this, not because you must do it, but instead do it willingly, as God desires. Do not be greedy to get a lot [of money for doing it], but instead do it enthusiastically/wholeheartedly.
看好上帝赐予你、让你照顾的羊群，不是因为你被迫这样做，而是因为高兴，因为上帝希望你这样做。你要心甘情愿地这样做，而不是想从中获利。
3 Do not act like domineering [bosses over] the people [MET] whom God has assigned/entrusted to you, but instead be examples to them by the way in which you conduct your lives.
不要狂妄自大，凌驾于被你照顾之人之上，而是要成为羊群的榜样。
4 [If you do that], when Jesus, who is [like] our chief shepherd [MET], appears, he will give each of you a [glorious/wonderful reward] [MET]. [That reward will be like] the wreaths [that are given to victorious athletes], but your reward will never wither [like wreaths do].
当牧长显现之时，你将获得永不衰败的荣耀冠冕。
5 [Now I will say this to] you young men [and women]: [Just like married men and women are] ([to be subject/to submit themselves]) [to their spouses], you must (be subject/submit yourselves) (to the older men/to the leaders) [of the congregation]. And all of you [believers] should act [MET] humbly toward each other, because this proverb is true: God opposes people who are proud, but he acts kindly toward those who are humble.
年轻人，按照长老的吩咐去做。事实上，你们所有人都应该谦卑地为彼此服务，因为“上帝反对骄傲之人，偏爱谦卑之人。”
6 Therefore, realizing that God has great power [MTY] [to punish proud people], humble yourselves, in order that he may honor you at the time that [he has determined].
在上帝强大的手面前要谦卑，这样他就会在适当的时候把你举起来。
7 Because he takes care of you, let him take care of all the things that you are worried/concerned about.
把你所有的忧愁都交给他，因为他在乎你。
8 Always be fully alert, because the devil, who is your enemy, is going/sneaking around, looking for people [to destroy]. [He is] like [SIM] a lion who roars as it prowls around, seeking someone to [kill and] devour.
要负责任，保持警惕。魔鬼是你的敌人，像咆哮的狮子一样四处游荡，寻找可以吞噬之人。
9 You must resist him by continuing to firmly trust in [Christ and his message], remembering that your fellow believers all over the world are experiencing similar sufferings [that the devil is bringing to them].
要坚定地反对他，相信上帝。记住，世界各地其他和你一样的信徒，也正在经历类似的问题。
10 God is the one who kindly helps us in every [situation], and [he is the one] who chose us to share his eternal glory/greatness [in heaven] because of our relationship with Christ. [And] after you have suffered for a while [because of things that people do to harm you], he will remove your spiritual defects/imperfections, he will strengthen you [spiritually] [DOU], and he will support you [emotionally]. (aiōnios g166)
你受苦一小段时间之后，那所有恩典的上帝，那曾召唤你、让你与基督一样走进其永恒荣耀的上帝，就会亲自将你恢复，支持你，给你力量，并给你一个坚实的基础。 (aiōnios g166)
愿力量永永远远属于他！阿门。 (aiōn g165)
12 Silas has written this letter [for me as I have] ([dictated it to him/told him what to write]). I consider/know that he is a faithful fellow believer. I have written this short letter to you to encourage you, and I want to assure you that [what I have written] is a true message about the things that God kindly does for [us, things that we do not deserve]. Continue to firmly believe this message.
我是在西尔瓦努斯的帮助下，将这封信寄给你们，他是我值得信赖的兄弟。通过我所写的这些文字，我想鼓励你们并见证这是上帝真正的恩典。要坚定地站在上帝的恩典中！
13 In [this city that is sometimes referred to as] ‘Babylon’ [MET], the believers [SYN], whom [God] has chosen [to belong to him] just like he chose you, (send you [(pl)] their greetings/say that they are thinking affectionately about you). Mark, who is [MET] [like] a son to me, also ([sends you his greetings/says that he is thinking affectionately about you]).
在 “巴比伦”这里的信徒，和你一起被选中，向你问候，就像我的儿子马克一样。还有我的儿子马克也问候你们。
14 Greet each other with a kiss [on the cheek] to [show that] you love [each other]. [I pray that God will give inner] peace to all of you who have a relationship with Christ.
以爱的吻互相问候。愿你们所有与基督同在之人都能够平安。
