1 Piè 5
1 Mwen menm ki yon chèf reskonsab, m'ap pale koulye a ak chèf reskonsab ki nan mitan nou yo. Mwen menm ki te wè jan Kris la te soufri a, mwen pral patisipe tou nan bèl pouvwa Bondye ki gen pou parèt la.
Elders who [are] among you, I exhort [you], [as] a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and a partaker of the glory about to be revealed,
2 Men sa m'ap di nou: Tankou gadò, se pou nou swen bann mouton Bondye ki sou kont nou an. Pa fè sa tankou si se fòse y'ap fòse nou. Men, fè l' paske nou vle fè sa Bondye vle. Pa fè travay la tankou si se dèyè lajan nou ye. Men, fè l' ak tout kè nou.
feed the flock of God that [is] among you, overseeing not by compulsion, but willingly, neither for shameful gain, but eagerly,
3 Pa fè menm jan ak chèf k'ap maltrete moun ki sou kont yo. Okontrè, se pou nou tounen yon egzanp pou mouton yo.
neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but becoming patterns for the flock,
4 Konsa, lè gran gadò a va parèt, n'a resevwa yon kouwòn ki p'ap janm fennen: n'a resevwa lwanj Bondye.
and the Chief Shepherd having appeared, you will receive the unfading garland of glory.
5 Menm jan an tou, nou menm jennjan yo, se pou nou soumèt devan chèf reskonsab yo. Nan tout rapò nou yonn ak lòt, se pou nou soumèt devan Bondye. Paske Bondye pran pozisyon kont moun ki gen lògèy. Men, moun ki soumèt devan l', li ba yo favè li.
In like manner, you young [ones], be subject to elders, and all subjecting yourselves to one another; clothe yourselves with humble-mindedness, because God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble;
6 Se poutèt sa, soumèt nou devan Bondye ki gen pouvwa, konsa la leve nou lè pou l' leve nou an.
be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that He may exalt you in good time,
7 Lage tout tèt chaje nou yo ba li, paske l'ap pran swen nou.
having cast all your care on Him, because He cares for you.
8 Kenbe tèt nou anplas, rete sou prigad nou. Paske dyab la, lènmi nou an, ap veye nou tankou yon lyon ki move, k'ap chache moun pou l' devore.
Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the Devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may swallow up,
9 Kanpe fèm nan konfyans nou, kenbe tèt avè l', paske nou konnen lòt frè nou yo ki nan lemonn ap soufri menm soufrans ak nou.
whom you must resist, steadfast in the faith, having known the same sufferings of your brotherhood to be accomplished in the world.
10 Men, apre n'a fin soufri yon ti tan, Bondye li menm va rann nou bon nèt, la kenbe nou fèm, la ban nou fòs, l'ap fè nou kanpe san brannen. Paske Bondye bay tout kalite favè. Se li menm ki te rele nou, gremesi Kris la, pou n' te patisipe nan pouvwa li ki p'ap janm fini. (aiōnios g166)
And the God of all grace, who called you to His perpetual glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle [you]; (aiōnios g166)
to Him [is] the glory and the power through the ages and the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Se avèk konkou frè Silven, yon nonm serye dapre sa mwen konnen, m'ap ekri nou lèt sa a, pou m' ka ankouraje nou, pou m' fè nou konnen jan favè Bondye pou nou an se yon bagay ki vre. Kenbe fèm nan li.
Through Silvanus, the faithful brother as I reckon, I wrote through few [words] to you, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which you have stood.
13 Legliz Bondye chwazi nan lavil Babilòn lan voye bonjou pou nou, ansanm ak Mak, pitit mwen an.
She in Babylon chosen with you greets you, and my son Marcus.
14 Bò pa nou, yonn di lòt bonjou pou mwen, yonn bo lòt tankou frè ak frè. Mwen mande pou nou tout k'ap viv ansanm nan Kris la, pou nou gen kè poze.
Greet one another in a kiss of love. Peace to you all who [are] in Christ Jesus! Amen.
