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:
Starejšine med vami opominjam, sostarejšina in priča trpljenj Kristusovih, deležnik tudi slave, ki se ima razodeti:
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 čedo Božjo med vami, nadzorujoč ne po sili, nego prostovoljno; tudi ne za grd dobiček, nego radovoljno,
3 not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
Tudi ne kakor gospodovalci dedščin, nego kakor zgledi postavši čede;
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.
In ko se bode prikazal višji pastir, dobili bodete nevenljivi venec slave.
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.”
Enako, mlajši, pokorni bodite starejšim; vsi pa pokorni si med seboj, privežite si ponižnost; ker "Bog se ustavlja prevzetnim, ponižnim pa daje milost."
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
Ponižajte se tedaj pod mogočno roko Božjo, da vas poviša ob času;
7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
Vso skrb svojo vrzite nanj, ker 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.
Trezni bodite, čujte, ker nasprotnik vaš, hudič, kakor lev rujoveč hodi okrog in išče koga bi pogoltnil.
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
Njemu se ustavljajte, trdni v veri, vedoč, da ista trpljenja prenaša bratovščina vaša na 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)
Bog pa vse milosti, kateri nas je poklical v večno slavo svojo v Kristusu Jezusu, po kratkem trpljenji pripravi vas sam, utrdi, pokrepčaj, ustanóvi! (aiōnios g166)
Njemu slava in moč na vekov veke! 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 Silvanu sem vam, zvestem bratu, kakor sodim, na kratko pisal, opominjajoč in pričajoč, da je tá prava milost Božja, v kateri stojite.
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
Pozdravlja vas izvoljena v Babilonu, in Marko sin moj.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Pozdravljajte se med seboj v poljubu ljubezni. Mir vam vsem v Kristusu Jezusu! Amen.
