1 Peter 5
1 I want to encourage the elders among you. I'm also an elder, a witness to Christ's sufferings, and I will share in the glory that is to come.
Nangcae kricaabu kacoehtanawk, kai loe Kri patangkhanghaih tong kami, anih aicae khae amtueng naah kai doeh a lensawkhaih to ka hnu toeng tih, kai doeh kacoehta maeto ah ka oh toeng pongah, nangcae khaeah thapaekhaih lok kang thuih o:
2 Look after God's flock you have been given to care for, watching over it not because you're forced to, but gladly, as God wants you to. Do this willingly, not looking to make a profit from it.
nangmacae thung ih Sithaw tuucaanawk to com oh, tha hoi saksak nganga ih baktih na ai, sak koehhaih palung hoiah sah oh; panuet kaom amekhaih to poek ai ah, sak koehhaih palung hoiah khenzawn oh;
3 Don't be arrogant, lording it over those who have been put in your care, but be an example to the flock.
Sithaw ih qawktoep kricaabunawk nuiah angraeng baktiah om ai ah, tuucaanawk mah kuu lak koi kaom ah khosah oh.
4 When the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive a glorious crown that will never fade.
Kalen koek tuutoepkung amtueng naah, nangcae loe kazaem thai ai lensawkhaih lumuek to na hak o tih.
5 Young people, do what the elders tell you. Indeed all of you should serve one another in humility, because “God is against the proud, but favors the humble.”
To baktih toengah nawksainawk, kacoehtanawk mah thuitaek ih lok to tahngai oh. Ue, maeto hoi maeto tlim ah khosah o boih ah loe, tuinom ohhaih to khukbuen baktiah angkhuk oh: Sithaw mah amoek kaminawk to koeh ai, poeknaem kaminawk khaeah ni tahmenhaih to paek.
6 Humble yourself before God's powerful hand so that he will lift you up at the appropriate time.
To pongah atue mah phak naah anih mah ang pakoeh o hanah, thacak Sithaw ban tlim ah poeknaemhaih hoiah khosah oh.
7 Surrender all your worries to him, because he cares for you.
Anih mah ang khetzawn o pongah, mawnhaih palungthin to anih khaeah aap o boih ah.
8 Be responsible, and stay alert. The devil, your enemy, is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
Acoehaih hoiah om oh loe, iip ai ah hak oh; tipongah tih nahaeloe nangcae ih misa, taqawk loe kahang kaipui baktiah, a kaek han ih kami to amee khing:
9 Stand firm against him, trusting in God. Remember that your fellow-believers around the world are going through similar troubles.
to tiah a oh pongah long pum ah kaom nangcae ih nawkamyanawk doeh nangcae baktiah raihaih tong o toeng, tito panoek hoi tanghaih bangah kacakah angdoe oh loe, taqawk to pakaa oh.
10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace who called you into his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore you, support you, strengthen you, and give you a solid foundation. (aiōnios g166)
Kri Jesu rang hoiah dungzan a lensawkhaih ahmuen ah oh thai hanah, a tahmenhaih hoiah ni Sithaw mah aicae to kawk, nawnetta thung patang na khang o pacoengah, akoephaih to na paek o tih, kacakah angdoesak ueloe, tha na cak o sak tih. (aiōnios g166)
Anih khaeah lensawkhaih hoi thacakhaih dungzan hoi dungzan khoek to om poe nasoe. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 With the help of Silvanus, whom I consider a trustworthy brother, I send this letter to you. In these few words I've written I want to encourage you and testify that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in God's grace!
Oep kaom nawkamya baktiah ka poek ih, Sivana mah abomhaih rang hoiah nangcae khaeah ca setta kang tarik o boeh; tanghaih hoiah nang doet o haih ahmuen loe, loktang Sithaw tahmenhaih hoiah akoep, tiah thapaekhaih lok kang thuih o boeh.
13 The believers here in “Babylon,” chosen together with you, send their greetings to you, as does Mark, my son.
Ka capa Marka hoi Babylon prae ah kaom nangcae hoi nawnto qoih ih kricaabu mah ban ang sin o.
14 Greet each other with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
Maeto hoi maeto amlung angmokhaih hoiah ban angsin oh. Kri Jesu ah kaom nangcae boih khaeah monghaih om nasoe.
