1 Peter 5
1 Àwọn alàgbà tí ń bẹ láàrín yín ni mo gbànímọ̀ràn, èmi ẹni tí ń ṣe alàgbà bí ẹ̀yin, àti ẹlẹ́rìí ìyà Kristi, àti alábápín nínú ògo tí a ó fihàn.
Therefore I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:
2 Ẹ máa tọ́jú agbo Ọlọ́run tí ń bẹ láàrín yín, ẹ máa bojútó o, kì í ṣe àfipáṣe, bí kò ṣe tìfẹ́tìfẹ́; kó má sì jẹ́ fún èrè ìjẹkújẹ, bí kò ṣe pẹ̀lú ìpinnu tí ó múra tan.
shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
3 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì í ṣe bí ẹni tí ń lo agbára lórí ìjọ, ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ ṣe ara yín ní àpẹẹrẹ fún agbo.
not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
4 Nígbà tí Olórí Olùṣọ́-àgùntàn bá sì fi ara hàn, ẹ̀yin ó gba adé ògo ti kì í sá.
When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.
5 Bẹ́ẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, ẹ̀yin ọ̀dọ́, ẹ tẹríba fún àwọn alàgbà. Àní, gbogbo yín ẹ máa tẹríba fún ara yín kí ẹ fi ìrẹ̀lẹ̀ wọ ara yín ní aṣọ: nítorí, “Ọlọ́run kọ ojú ìjà sí àwọn agbéraga, ṣùgbọ́n ó ń fi oore-ọ̀fẹ́ fún àwọn onírẹ̀lẹ̀.”
Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility and subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
6 Nítorí náà, ẹ rẹ ara yin sílẹ̀ lábẹ́ ọwọ́ agbára Ọlọ́run, kí òun lè gbe yín ga lákokò.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
7 Ẹ máa kó gbogbo àníyàn yín lé e; nítorí tí òun ń ṣe ìtọ́jú yín.
casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
8 Ẹ máa wà ni àìrékọjá, ẹ máa ṣọ́ra; nítorí èṣù ọ̀tá yín, bí i kìnnìún tí ń ké ramúramù, ó ń rìn káàkiri, ó ń wa ẹni tí yóò pajẹ.
Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
9 Ẹ kọ ojú ìjà sí i pẹ̀lú ìdúró ṣinṣin nínú ìgbàgbọ́, bí ẹ̀yin ti mọ̀ pé ìyà kan náà ni àwọn ará yín tí ń bẹ nínú ayé ń jẹ.
Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
10 Ọlọ́run oore-ọ̀fẹ́ gbogbo, tí ó ti pè yín sínú ògo rẹ̀ tí kò nípẹ̀kun nínú Kristi Jesu, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá ti jìyà díẹ̀, òun tìkára rẹ̀, yóò sì ṣe yín ní àṣepé, yóò fi ẹsẹ̀ yín múlẹ̀, yóò fún yín lágbára, yóò fi ìdí yín kalẹ̀. (aiōnios g166)
But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. (aiōnios g166)
To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Nítorí Sila, arákùnrin wa olóòtítọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti kà á sí, ni mo kọ̀wé kúkúrú sí i yín, tí mo ń gbà yín níyànjú, tí mo sì ń jẹ́rìí pé, èyí ni òtítọ́ oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run: ẹ dúró ṣinṣin nínú rẹ̀.
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 in which you stand.
13 Ìjọ tí ń bẹ ní Babeli, tí a yàn, pẹ̀lú kí yín, bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni Marku ọmọ mi pẹ̀lú.
She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
14 Ẹ fi ìfẹ́nukonu ìfẹ́ kí ara, yín. Àlàáfíà fún gbogbo yín tí ẹ wà nínú Kristi.
Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
