1 Peter 5

1 Therefore I exhort the elders amongst you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Messiah, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:

ⲁ̅ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲱⲥ ϣⲃ̅ⲣⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕϩⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϭⲱⲗⲡ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.

2 shepherd the flock of God which is amongst you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;

ⲃ̅ϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟϩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲧⲟⲣ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϩⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲁⲓϩⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ϣⲗⲟϥ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲣⲟⲧ.

3 not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.

ⲅ̅ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛ̅ⲧⲩⲡⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟϩⲉ.

4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.

ⲇ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ϣⲱⲥ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϫⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲗⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲉϥϩⲱⲥⲃ̅.

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.”

ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉ[ⲣⲟⲥ]. ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉⲗⲉϫⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϫⲁⲥⲓϩⲏⲧ. ϥϯ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲏⲩ.

6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,

ⲋ̅ⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϭⲉ ϩⲁⲧϭⲓϫ ⲉⲧϫⲟⲟⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲧⲁⲣⲉϥϫⲉⲥⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅.

7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.

ⲍ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉⲧϥⲓⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅.

8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

ⲏ̅ⲛⲏⲫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲧⲓⲇⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲗϩⲏⲙ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲓⲙⲟⲩⲓ. ⲉϥϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲱⲙⲕ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲯⲩⲭⲏ.

9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.

ⲑ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲟⲟⲣ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲓϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲟⲛ ⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.

10 But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Messiah Yeshua, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. (aiōnios g166)

ⲓ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲉϩⲙ̅ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. ⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭⲥ̅ ⲓⲥ̅. ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲡ̅ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ϥⲛⲁⲥⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅. ⲛ̅ϥϯϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛϥ̅ϯⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. (aiōnios g166)

11 To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. 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.

ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲩⲗⲓⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲡⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲛ. ⲉⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲉⲣⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅.

13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.

14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Messiah Yeshua. Amen.
