Pēteŗa 1. Vēstule 5
1 Tos vecajus jūsu starpā pamācu, es tas līdzvecākais un liecinieks par Kristus ciešanām un tās godības biedrs, kas taps redzams:
I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Messiah, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:
2 Ganiet Dieva ganāmo pulku, kas pie jums, un uzraugiet, ne piespiesti, bet ar labu prātu, ne negodīgas peļņas dēļ bet no sirds,
Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily, as God wants; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
3 Nedz kā valdīdami par Tā Kunga daļu, bet (par) priekšzīmi būdami tam ganāmam pulkam.
neither as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
4 Un kad Tas Augstais Gans atspīdēs, tad jūs dabūsiet to nesavīstamo godības kroni.
When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
5 Tāpat, jūs jaunākie, esiet tiem vecajiem paklausīgi; bet visi, cits citam padodamies, esiet izpušķoti ar pazemību, jo Dievs lepniem turas pretī, bet pazemīgiem Viņš dod žēlastību.
Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility, towards one another; for God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
6 Tad nu pazemojaties apakš Dieva varenās rokas, lai Viņš jūs paaugstina savā laikā.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;
7 Visu savu zūdīšanos metiet uz Viņu, jo Viņš gādā par jums.
casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
8 Esiet skaidrā prātā, esiet nomodā, jo jūsu pretinieks, velns, staigā apkārt kā rūcošs lauva, un meklē, kuru tas aprītu.
Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
9 Tam stāviet pretim, stipri ticībā, zinādami, ka tās pašas ciešanas papilnam uziet jūsu brāļiem pasaulē.
Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
10 Bet Tas visu žēlīgais Dievs, kas mūs aicinājis uz Savu mūžīgo godību iekš Kristus Jēzus, Tas jūs, kas mazu brīdi ciešat, Pats sataisīs, spēcinās, stiprinās, pastāvīgus darīs. (aiōnios g166)
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Messiah, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen and establish you. (aiōnios g166)
To him be the power forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Caur Silvanu, to uzticīgo brāli, es jums, kā man šķiet īsiem vārdiem esmu rakstījis, pamācīdams un apliecinādams, ka tā ir tā patiesā Dieva žēlastība, kurā jūs stāvat.
Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.
13 Jūs sveicina tā līdz izvēlētā Bābeles draudze un mans dēls Marks.
She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you; and so does Mark, my son.
14 Sveicinājaties savā starpā ar mīlestības skūpstu. Miers jums visiem, kas iekš Kristus Jēzus. Āmen.
Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Messiah.
