1 सङ्गी-एल्डर र ख्रीष्‍टका कष्‍ट अनि प्रकट हुने महिमामा सहभागी भएको व्यक्‍तिको हैसियतले म तिमीहरूका माझमा भएका एल्डरहरूलाई आग्रह गर्दछु ।
As for the older ones among you, who are elders in the church, I, their fellow elder, and a witness to the sufferings of the Christ, who will also share in the glory that is to be revealed –
2 त्यसकारण, म एल्डरहरूलाई आग्रह गर्दछु, तिमीहरूका माझमा भएका परमेश्‍वरको बगालको हेरचाह गर, करले होइन तर तिमीहरूका आफ्नै र परमेश्‍वरको इच्छाअनुसार । बेइमानीपूर्वक कमाइने पैसाको लागि होइन, तर स्वेच्छाले ।
I beg you to be true shepherds of the flock of God among you, not because you are compelled, but of your own free will; not from a base love of gain, but with a ready spirit;
3 तिमीहरूको हेरचाहमा रहेका मानिसहरूमाथि मालिकजस्तो व्यवहार नगर, तर बगालको लागि उदाहरण बन ।
not as lords of your charges, but as examples to your flock.
4 मुख्य गोठालो प्रकट हुनुहुँदा तिमीहरूले कहिल्यै नाश नहुने महिमित मुकुट पाउनेछौ ।
Then, when the chief shepherd appears, you will win the crown of glory that never fades.
5 त्यसै गरी, तिमी युवकहरू वृद्धहरूको अधीनमा बस । तिमीहरू सबैले विनम्रताको वस्‍त्र धारण गर र एक-अर्काको सेवा गर किनकि परमेश्‍वरले अहङ्कारीहरूको विरोध गर्नुहुन्छ, तर नम्रहरूलाई अनुग्रह गर्नुहुन्छ ।
Again, you younger ones should show deference to the older. And all of you should put on the badge of humility in mutual service, for “God is opposed to the proud, but gives his help to the humble.”
6 त्यसकारण, आफैँलाई उहाँको शक्‍तिशाली बाहुलीमुनि नम्र तुल्याओ, ताकि उहाँले उचित समयमा तिमीहरूलाई उच्‍च पार्नुभएको होस् ।
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in his good time,
7 तिम्रा सबै चिन्ता-फिक्री उहाँमा सुम्पिदेओ किनकि उहाँले तिमीहरूको वास्ता गर्नुहुन्छ ।
laying all your anxieties on him, for he makes you his care.
8 सचेत र जागा रहो । तिमीहरूको शत्रु दियाबलस कसैलाई भेटेर निल्नको निम्ति गर्जने सिंहझैँ खोजिरहेको छ ।
Exercise self-control, be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, like a roaring lion, is prowling about, eager to devour you.
9 त्यसको विरुद्धमा खडा होओ । तिमीहरूको विश्‍वासमा दह्रिलो बन । यो जान कि संसारमा भएका तिमीहरूका भाइहरूले पनि यस्तै कष्‍टहरू भोगिरहेका छन् ।
Stand firm against him, strong in your faith; knowing, as you do, that the sufferings which you are undergoing are being endured to the full by the Lord’s followers throughout the world.
10 तिमीहरूको केही समयको कष्‍टपछि तिमीहरूलाई ख्रीष्‍टमा उहाँको महिमामा बोलाउनुहुने सबै अनुग्रहका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूलाई सिद्ध, स्थापित र बलियो बनाउनुहुनेछ । (aiōnios g166)
God, from whom all help comes, and who called you, by your union with Christ, into his eternal glory, will, when you have suffered for a little while, himself perfect, establish, strengthen you. (aiōnios g166)
11 सबै शक्‍ति सदा सर्वदा उहाँकै होस् । आमेन । (aiōn g165)
To him be ascribed dominion for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 म सिलासलाई विश्‍वासयोग्य भाइको रूपमा लिन्छु र तिनीबाट मैले तिमीहरूलाई केही कुरा छोटकरीमा लेखेको छु । म तिमीहरूलाई आग्रह गर्छु र तिमीहरूलाई साक्षी दिन्छु कि मैले लेखेको कुरा परमेश्‍वरको साँचो अनुग्रह हो । त्यसमा खडा होओ ।
I have been writing to you briefly by the hand of Silas, our true-hearted friend (for so I regard him), to encourage you, and to bear my testimony that in what I have written is to be found the true love of God. On that take your stand.
13 तिमीहरूसँगै चुनिएकी बेबिलोनमा भएकीले र मेरो छोरो मर्कूसले तिमीहरूलाई अभिवादन पठाएका छन् ।
Your sister church in “Babylon” sends you greeting, and so does Mark, who is as a son to me.
14 प्रेमको पवित्र चुम्बनले एक-अर्कालाई अभिवादन गर । ख्रीष्‍ट येशूमा हुने तिमीहरू सबैलाई शान्ति होस् ।
Greet one another with the kiss of love. May God give his peace to you all in your union with Christ.
