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 klēśānāṁ sākṣī prakāśiṣyamāṇasya pratāpasyāṁśī prācīnaścāhaṁ yuṣmākaṁ prācīnān vinīyēdaṁ 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 mēṣavr̥ndō yūyaṁ taṁ pālayata tasya vīkṣaṇaṁ kuruta ca, āvaśyakatvēna nahi kintu svēcchātō na va kulōbhēna 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 vr̥ndasya dr̥ṣṭāntasvarūpā bhavata|
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
tēna pradhānapālaka upasthitē yūyam amlānaṁ gauravakirīṭaṁ lapsyadhvē|
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.”
hē yuvānaḥ, yūyamapi prācīnalōkānāṁ vaśyā bhavata sarvvē ca sarvvēṣāṁ vaśībhūya namratābharaṇēna bhūṣitā bhavata, yataḥ, ātmābhimānilōkānāṁ vipakṣō bhavatīśvaraḥ| kintu tēnaiva namrēbhyaḥ prasādād dīyatē varaḥ|
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
atō yūyam īśvarasya balavatkarasyādhō namrībhūya tiṣṭhata tēna sa ucitasamayē 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 yatō yuṣmākaṁ prativādī yaḥ śayatānaḥ sa garjjanakārī siṁha iva paryyaṭan kaṁ grasiṣyāmīti mr̥gayatē,
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
atō viśvāsē susthirāstiṣṭhantastēna sārddhaṁ yudhyata, yuṣmākaṁ jagannivāsibhrātr̥ṣvapi tādr̥śāḥ klēśā varttanta iti jānīta|
10 But may the God of all grace, who called you to his consummate (aiōnios g166) glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
kṣaṇikaduḥkhabhōgāt param asmabhyaṁ khrīṣṭēna yīśunā svakīyānantagauravadānārthaṁ yō'smān āhūtavān sa sarvvānugrāhīśvaraḥ svayaṁ yuṣmān siddhān sthirān sabalān niścalāṁśca karōtu| (aiōnios g166)
tasya gauravaṁ parākramaścānantakālaṁ yāvad bhūyāt| āmēn| (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 silvānō (manyē) yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsyō bhrātā bhavati tadvārāhaṁ saṁkṣēpēṇa likhitvā yuṣmān vinītavān yūyañca yasmin adhitiṣṭhatha sa ēvēśvarasya satyō '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 vidyatē sā mama putrō mārkaśca yuṣmān namaskāraṁ vēdayati|
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
yūyaṁ prēmacumbanēna parasparaṁ namaskuruta| yīśukhrīṣṭāśritānāṁ yuṣmākaṁ sarvvēṣāṁ śānti rbhūyāt| āmēn|
