1 Petera 5
1 Aa le osiheko o mpiaolo fivory ama’ areoo, amy maham-piaolo ahy naho valolombeloñ’ amy nijalea’ i Norizañey vaho mpitraok’ amy engeñe haboakey:
I, a fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and a partaker of the glory going be revealed, exhort the elders among you:
2 ampiandrazo i lia-rain’ Añahare ama’ areoy; sario—tsy aman-jizy, fa an-dozoke sitran’ Añahare; tsy ipaiam-bokañe, fa an-kahimbañañe;
Tend ye the flock of God among you, watching over, not by obligation, but willingly, nor greedily, but readily,
3 tsy sengean-kery o nampifeheañe anahareoo, fe ano ze hitsikombea’ i lia-raikey.
nor as domineering over the lots, but becoming examples of the flock.
4 Le ie miboake i Talèm-piarakey, le ho rambese’ areo i sabakan-engeñe tsy hikò-mavoy.
And when the chief Shepherd is made known, ye will receive the unfading crown of glory.
5 O ry ajalahio, manahake izay, miandalia amo mpiaoloo, naho songa mifampiambanea, vaho aombeo ty hatrentram-po; amy te: Zeharen’ Añahare o mpirengeo fe atariha’e o mpirèkeo.
Likewise younger men should be subordinate to the elder men. And all being subordinate to each other, clothe yourselves with humility, because God sets himself against the haughty, but gives grace to the lowly.
6 Mitaketraha arè ambanem-pitàn’ Añahare maozatse, fa honjone’e ami’ty andro mañèva.
Therefore be lowered under the mighty hand of God, so that he may lift you up in time,
7 Afetsaho ama’e iaby ze fihakahakà’ areo, fa hiferenaiña’e.
having cast all your concern upon him, because he cares for you.
8 Miliera vatañe le mahimbaña, fa mitingatinga mbaombao hoe liona mireñetse i rafelahi’ areoy, i mpañìnjey, mipay ty havorembòre’e.
Be sober, be vigilant. Your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about seeking whom to devour.
9 Kalaño am-patokisañe migahiñe, fohiñe te songa ampisoañeñe hoe izay ka o longo’ areo an-tane atoio.
Whom resist, steadfast in the faith, knowing the same sufferings are to be accomplished in the world by your brotherhood.
10 Ie fa nalovilovy betebete nahareo, le i Andrianañahare’ o hene hasoaoy, i nikanjy anahareo ho amy enge’e tsy modo amy Norizañey aoiy, ro hañeneke naho hamente naho hampaozatse, vaho hampijadoñe anahareo. (aiōnios g166)
And may the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus (after suffering a little while) himself thoroughly prepare you. He will establish, strengthen, and provide a foundation. (aiōnios g166)
To him is the glory and the dominion into the ages of the ages. Truly. (aiōn g165)
12 I Silasy, rahalahy migahiñe amako, ty nisokirako boriborike zao, ho fañosihañe, naho fitaroñañe te izay ty toe hasoan’ Añahare ijohaña’ areo.
By Silvanus, the faithful brother to you, as I reckon, I wrote because of a few things, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which ye stand.
13 Mañontane anahareo o e Babilona nitrao-pijoboñañe ama’ areoo, naho i Marka, anako.
She in Babylon, chosen together, salutes you, and my son Mark.
14 Mifanalamà añ’ondrom-pikokoañe. Fañanintsiñe ama’ areo iaby amy Norizañey.
Salute each other by a kiss of love. Peace to you, to all those in Christ Jesus. Truly.
