I Peter 5

5:1

Starješine dakle među vama opominjem, ja sustarješina i svjedok Kristovih patnja, a zato i zajedničar slave koja se ima očitovati:

The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

5:2

pasite povjereno vam stado Božje, nadgledajte ga - ne prisilno, nego dragovoljno, po Božju; ne radi prljava dobitka, nego oduševljeno;

Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

5:3

i ne kao gospodari Baštine nego kao uzori stada.

Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

5:4

Pa kad se pojavi Natpastir, primit ćete neuveli vijenac slave.

And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

5:5

Tako i vi, mladići, podložite se starješinama; svi se jedni prema drugima pripašite poniznošću jer Bog se oholima protivi, a poniznima daruje milost.

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

5:6

Ponizite se dakle pod snažnom rukom Božjom da vas uzvisi u pravo vrijeme.

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

5:7

Svu svoju brigu povjerite njemu jer on se brine za vas.

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

5:8

Otrijeznite se! Bdijte! Protivnik vaš, đavao, kao ričući lav obilazi tražeći koga da proždre.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

5:9

Oprite mu se stameni u vjeri znajući da takve iste patnje podnose vaša braća po svijetu.

Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
