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:
Starešine, ki so med vami, spodbujam jaz, ki sem tudi starešina in priča Kristusovih trpljenj in tudi soudeleženec slave, ki se bo razodela;
2 shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
pasite Božji trop, ki je med vami in prevzemite nadzor nad njim, ne s prisilo, temveč voljno; ne zaradi umazane grabežljivosti, temveč s primernim namenom;
3 not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
niti kakor bi bili gospodarji nad Božjo dediščino, temveč zgledi tropu.
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.
In ko se bo pojavil glavni Pastir, boste prejeli krono slave, ki ne propada.
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.”
Podobno se vi mlajši podredite starejšim. Da, vsi izmed vas bodite podrejeni drug drugemu in bodite oblečeni s ponižnostjo; kajti Bog se ponosnim upira, ponižnim pa daje milost.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
Ponižajte se torej pod mogočno Božjo roko, da vas bo lahko ob primernem času povišal.
7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
Vso svojo skrb vrzite nanj, kajti on skrbi za vas.
8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Bodite trezni, bodite oprezni, ker vaš nasprotnik hudič hodi naokrog kakor rjoveč lev in išče, koga bi lahko požrl;
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
kateremu se uprite neomajni v veri, vedoč, da so ista trpljenja dovršena v vaših bratih, ki so po svetu.
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)
Toda Bog vse milosti, ki nas je poklical v svojo večno slavo po Kristusu Jezusu, potem ko ste nekaj časa trpeli, vas stori popolne, utrjene, okrepljene, vas ustali. (aiōnios g166)
Njemu bodi slava in gospostvo na veke vekov. Amen. (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.
Po Silvánu, zvestemu bratu, sem vam, kakor mislim, napisal na kratko in spodbujal ter pričeval, da je to resnična Božja milost, v kateri stojite.
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
Pozdravlja vas cerkev, ki je v Babilonu, izvoljena skupaj z vami, in tudi Marko, moj sin.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Pozdravite drug drugega s poljubom ljubezni. Mir bodi z vami vsemi, ki ste v Kristusu Jezusu. Amen.
