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:
khrīṣṭasya kleśānāṁ sākṣī prakāśiṣyamāṇasya pratāpasyāṁśī prācīnaścāhaṁ yuṣmākaṁ prācīnān vinīyedaṁ vadāmi|
2 shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
yuṣmākaṁ madhyavarttī ya īśvarasya meṣavṛndo yūyaṁ taṁ pālayata tasya vīkṣaṇaṁ kuruta ca, āvaśyakatvena nahi kintu svecchāto na va kulobhena kintvicchukamanasā|
3 not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
aparam aṁśānām adhikāriṇa iva na prabhavata kintu vṛndasya dṛṣṭāntasvarūpā bhavata|
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.
tena pradhānapālaka upasthite yūyam amlānaṁ gauravakirīṭaṁ lapsyadhve|
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.”
he yuvānaḥ, yūyamapi prācīnalokānāṁ vaśyā bhavata sarvve ca sarvveṣāṁ vaśībhūya namratābharaṇena bhūṣitā bhavata, yataḥ, ātmābhimānilokānāṁ vipakṣo bhavatīśvaraḥ| kintu tenaiva namrebhyaḥ prasādād dīyate varaḥ|
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
ato yūyam īśvarasya balavatkarasyādho namrībhūya tiṣṭhata tena sa ucitasamaye yuṣmān uccīkariṣyati|
7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
yūyaṁ sarvvacintāṁ tasmin nikṣipata yataḥ sa yuṣmān prati cintayati|
8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
yūyaṁ prabuddhā jāgrataśca tiṣṭhata yato yuṣmākaṁ prativādī yaḥ śayatānaḥ sa garjjanakārī siṁha iva paryyaṭan kaṁ grasiṣyāmīti mṛgayate,
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
ato viśvāse susthirāstiṣṭhantastena sārddhaṁ yudhyata, yuṣmākaṁ jagannivāsibhrātṛṣvapi tādṛśāḥ kleśā varttanta iti jānīta|
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)
kṣaṇikaduḥkhabhogāt param asmabhyaṁ khrīṣṭena yīśunā svakīyānantagauravadānārthaṁ yo'smān āhūtavān sa sarvvānugrāhīśvaraḥ svayaṁ yuṣmān siddhān sthirān sabalān niścalāṁśca karotu| (aiōnios g166)
tasya gauravaṁ parākramaścānantakālaṁ yāvad bhūyāt| āmen| (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.
yaḥ silvāno (manye) yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsyo bhrātā bhavati tadvārāhaṁ saṁkṣepeṇa likhitvā yuṣmān vinītavān yūyañca yasmin adhitiṣṭhatha sa eveśvarasya satyo 'nugraha iti pramāṇaṁ dattavān|
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
yuṣmābhiḥ sahābhirucitā yā samiti rbābili vidyate sā mama putro mārkaśca yuṣmān namaskāraṁ vedayati|
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
yūyaṁ premacumbanena parasparaṁ namaskuruta| yīśukhrīṣṭāśritānāṁ yuṣmākaṁ sarvveṣāṁ śānti rbhūyāt| āmen|
