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.
Portanto, exorto os anciãos entre vós, como ancião e testemunha dos sofrimentos de Cristo, e que também participarão da glória que será revelada:
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.
pastoreiai o rebanho de Deus que está entre vós, exercendo a supervisão, não sob coação, mas voluntariamente; não para ganho desonesto, mas de bom grado;
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.
não como senhorio sobre os que vos foram confiados, mas fazendo-vos exemplos para o rebanho.
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].
Quando o pastor chefe for revelado, vocês receberão a coroa da glória que não se desvanece.
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.
Da mesma forma, vocês, os mais jovens, fiquem sujeitos aos mais velhos. Sim, todos vocês se revestem de humildade e se sujeitam uns aos outros; pois “Deus resiste aos orgulhosos, mas dá graça aos humildes”.
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].
Humilhai-vos, portanto, sob a poderosa mão de Deus, para que Ele vos exalte a seu tempo,
7 Because he takes care of you, let him take care of all the things that you are worried/concerned about.
lançando sobre Ele todas as vossas preocupações, porque Ele cuida de vós.
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.
Be sóbrio e autocontrolado. Esteja atento. Seu adversário, o diabo, anda por aí como um leão rugindo, procurando quem ele possa devorar.
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].
Withstand ele firme em sua fé, sabendo que seus irmãos que estão no mundo estão sofrendo os mesmos sofrimentos.
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)
Mas que o Deus de toda graça, que vos chamou para sua glória eterna por Cristo Jesus, depois de terdes sofrido um pouco, vos aperfeiçoe, vos estabeleça, vos fortaleça e vos estabeleça. (aiōnios g166)
A Ele seja a glória e o poder para todo o sempre. Amém. (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.
Através de Silvanus, nosso fiel irmão, como eu o considero, escrevi-lhe brevemente, exortando e testemunhando que esta é a verdadeira graça de Deus na qual você se encontra.
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]).
She que está na Babilônia, escolhido junto com você, o saúda. Assim faz Marcos, meu filho.
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.
Saudai-vos uns aos outros com um beijo de amor. Que a paz esteja com todos vocês que estão em Cristo Jesus. Amém.
