1 Peter 5
1 Elders, therefore, among you, I exhort—[I] who am their co-elder and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, who also, in the glory about to be revealed, have, a share; —
Aa le osiheko o mpiaolo fivory ama’ areoo, amy maham-piaolo ahy naho valolombeloñ’ amy nijalea’ i Norizañey vaho mpitraok’ amy engeñe haboakey:
2 Shepherd the beloved flock of God, which is among you, —not by compulsion, but by choice, nor yet for base gain, but of a ready mind, —
ampiandrazo i lia-rain’ Añahare ama’ areoy; sario—tsy aman-jizy, fa an-dozoke sitran’ Añahare; tsy ipaiam-bokañe, fa an-kahimbañañe;
3 Nor yet as lording it over the allotted portions, but becoming, ensamples, to the beloved flock;
tsy sengean-kery o nampifeheañe anahareoo, fe ano ze hitsikombea’ i lia-raikey.
4 And, when the Chief Shepherd is manifested, ye shall bear away, the unfading crown of glory.
Le ie miboake i Talèm-piarakey, le ho rambese’ areo i sabakan-engeñe tsy hikò-mavoy.
5 In like manner, ye younger men—submit yourselves unto elders; —All, however, one towards another, gird on humility; because, God, against the haughty, arrayeth himself, whereas, unto the lowly, he giveth favour.
O ry ajalahio, manahake zay, miandalia amo mpiaoloo, naho songa mifampiambanea, vaho aombeo ty hatrentram-po; amy te: Zeharen’ Añahare o mpirengeo fe atariha’e o mpirèkeo.
6 Be made lowly, therefore, under the strong hand of God, that he may lift, you, up in due time, —
Mitaketraha arè ambanem-pitàn’ Añahare maozatse, fa honjone’e ami’ty andro mañèva.
7 All your anxiety, casting upon him, because he careth for you.
Afetsaho ama’e iaby ze fihakahakà’ areo, fa hiferenaiña’e.
8 Be sober! be watchful! Your slanderous adversary, as a roaring lion, is walking about—seeking to devour:
Miliera vatañe le mahimbaña, fa mitingatinga mbaombao hoe liona mireñetse i rafelahi’ areoy, i mpañìnjey, mipay ty havorembòre’e.
9 Whom resist, steadfast in your faith, knowing that, the same sufferings, in your brotherhood that is in the world, are being accomplished.
Kalaño am-patokisañe migahiñe, fohiñe te songa ampisoañeñe hoe zay ka o longo’ areo an-tane atoio.
10 Howbeit, the God of all favour—who hath called you unto his age-abiding glory in Christ—when, for a little, ye have suffered, Himself, will adjust, confirm, strengthen: — (aiōnios g166)
Ie fa nalovilovy betebete nahareo, le i Andrianañahare’ o hene hasoaoy, i nikanjy anahareo ho amy enge’e tsy modo amy Norizañey aoiy, ro hañeneke naho hamente naho hampaozatse, vaho hampijadoñe anahareo. (aiōnios g166)
Aze ty fifeheañe nainai’e donia. Amena. (aiōn g165)
12 By Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I account him, have I briefly written, unto you, exhorting and adding testimony—that, this, is the true favour of God—within which, stand ye fast!
13 She who, in Babylon, is co-elect, and Mark my son, salute you:
14 Salute ye one another with a kiss of love. Peace unto you all who are in Christ.
