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.
Therfor Y, an euene eldre man, and a witnesse of Cristis passiouns, which also am a comynere of that glorie, that schal be schewid in tyme to comynge; byseche ye the eldre men,
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.
that ben among you, fede ye the flok of God, that is among you, and puruey ye, not as constreyned, but wilfulli, bi God; not for loue of foule wynnyng,
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.
but wilfulli, nether as hauynge lordschip in the clergie, but that ye ben maad ensaumple of the floc, of wille.
4 Konsa, lè gran gadò a va parèt, n'a resevwa yon kouwòn ki p'ap janm fennen: n'a resevwa lwanj Bondye.
And whanne the prince of scheepherdis schal appere, ye schulen resseyue the coroun of glorie, that may neuere fade.
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.
Also, ye yonge men, be ye suget to eldre men, and alle schewe ye togidere mekenesse; for the Lord withstondith proude men, but he yyueth grace to meke men.
6 Se poutèt sa, soumèt nou devan Bondye ki gen pouvwa, konsa la leve nou lè pou l' leve nou an.
Therfor be ye mekid vndir the myyti hoond of God, that he reise you in the tyme of visitacioun,
7 Lage tout tèt chaje nou yo ba li, paske l'ap pran swen nou.
and caste ye al youre bisynesse in to hym, for to hym is cure of 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 ye sobre, and wake ye, for youre aduersarie, the deuel, as a rorynge lioun goith aboute, sechinge whom he schal deuoure.
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 ayenstonde ye, stronge in the feith, witynge that the same passioun is maad to thilke brithirhode of you, that is 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 God of al grace, that clepide you in to his euerlastinge glorie, you suffrynge a litil, he schal performe, and schal conferme, and schal make sad. (aiōnios g166)
To hym be glorie and lordschip, in to worldis of worldis. 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.
Bi Siluan, feithful brother to you as Y deme, Y wroot schortli; bisechinge, and witnessinge that this is the very grace of God, in which ye stonden.
13 Legliz Bondye chwazi nan lavil Babilòn lan voye bonjou pou nou, ansanm ak Mak, pitit mwen an.
The chirche that is gaderid in Babiloyne, and Marcus, my sone, gretith you wel.
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.
Grete ye wel togidere in hooli cos. Grace be to you alle that ben in Crist. Amen.
