1 Peter 5
1 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:
われ汝らの中なる長老たちに勸む（我は汝らと同じく長老たる者、またキリストの苦難の證人、顯れんとする榮光に與る者なり）
2 shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
汝らの中にある神の群羊を牧へ。止むを得ずして爲さず、神に從ひて心より爲し、利を貪るために爲さず、悦びてなし、
3 not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
委ねられたる者の主とならず、群羊の模範となれ。
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.
さらば大牧者の現れ給ふとき、萎まざる光榮の冠冕を受けん。
5 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.”
若き者よ、なんぢら長老たちに服へ、かつ皆たがひに謙遜をまとへ『神は高ぶる者を拒ぎ、へりくだる者に恩惠を與へ給ふ』
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
この故に神の能力ある御手の下に己を卑うせよ、さらば時に及びて神なんぢらを高うし給はん。
7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
又もろもろの心勞を神に委ねよ、神なんぢらの爲に慮ぱかり給へばなり。
8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
愼みて目を覺しをれ、汝らの仇なる惡魔、ほゆる獅子のごとく歴迴りて呑むべきものを尋ぬ。
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
なんぢら信仰を堅うして彼を禦げ、なんぢらは世にある兄弟たちの同じ苦難に遭ふを知ればなり。
10 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)
もろもろの恩惠の神、すなはち永遠の榮光を受けしめんとて、キリストによりて汝らを召し給へる神は、汝らが暫く苦難をうくる後、なんぢらを全うし、堅うし、強くして、その基を定め給はん。 (aiōnios g166)
願はくは權力 世々 限りなく神にあれ、アァメン。 (aiōn g165)
12 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.
われ忠實なる兄弟なりと思ふシルワノに由りて、簡單に書き贈りて汝らに勸め、かつ此は神の眞の恩惠なることを證す、汝 等この恩惠に立て。
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
汝らと共に選ばれてバビロンに在る教會、なんぢらに安否を問ふ、わが子マルコも安否を問ふ。
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
なんぢら愛の接吻をもて互に安否を問へ。願はくはキリストに在る汝ら衆に平安あらんことを。
