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:
He whakahau tenei naku ki nga kaumatua i roto i a koutou, he hoa kaumatua hoki ahau, he kaiwhakaatu mo nga mamae o te Karaiti, kua whiwhi tahi nei hoki ki te kororia e whakakite mai i muri:
2 shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
Whangainga te kahui a te Atua i roto i a koutou; kaua e ngakaukore ina tirotiro, engari kia hihiko; kaua mo te taonga he, engari i runga i te ngakau nui;
3 not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
Kaua ano hoki e whakatupu rangatira ki ta te Atua wahi, engari hei tauira koutou ki te kahui.
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.
A kia puta mai te tino Hepara, ka whiwhi koutou ki te karauna kororia e kore e pirau.
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.”
Me koutou ano hoki, e nga taitamariki, kia ngohengohe ki nga kaumatua. Kia ngohengohe ano hoki koutou katoa, tetahi ki tetahi, ko te ngakau papaku ano hei whitiki mo koutou: no te mea hoki e pakeke ana te Atua ki te hunga whakapehapeha, ka hoatu ia e ia he aroha noa ki te hunga papaku.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
Na, whakapapaku iho koutou i raro i te ringaringa kaha o te Atua, kia whakateiteitia ake ai koutou e ia i te wa e pai ai:
7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
Maka atu o koutou manukanuka katoa ki runga ki a ia; e whakaaro ana hoki ia ki a koutou.
8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Kia mataara, kai matapopore; kei te haereere hoki to koutou hoa whawhai, te rewera, ano he raiona e ngengere ana, e rapu ana i te tangata hei horomanga mana:
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
Kia u ki te whakapono, ka tu atu ai ki a ia; me te mahara ano ka rite aua mamae nei ano i o koutou teina i te ao.
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)
Na ma te Atua o nga mahi aroha noa katoa, i karangatia ai koutou ki tona kororia mutungakore i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, ka oti koutou te whakamamae i tenei wa iti nei, mana koutou e mea kia tino rite, mana e whakau, mana e whakakaha, mana e whakapu mau. (aiōnios g166)
Waiho atu i a ia te kororia me te kaha ake ake. Amine. (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.
Kua tuhituhia atu nei e ahau etahi kupu torutoru, hei maunga atu ma Hirawanu: he teina pono ia no koutou ki toku whakaaro: he whakahau atu tenei, he whakaatu naku, ko te tino aroha noa tenei o te Atua e tu nei koutou.
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
Tenei te oha atu nei ki a koutou te hahi i Papurona, i whiriwhiria ngatahitia nei koutou; me taku tamaiti ano hoki me Maka.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Oha atu tetahi ki tetahi, hei te kihi aroha ano. Kia tau te rangimarie ki a koutou katoa i roto i a Karaiti Ihu. Amine.
