I Peter 5

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:

Mwen menm ki yon chèf reskonsab, m'ap pale koulye a ak chèf reskonsab ki nan mitan nou yo. Mwen menm ki te wè jan Kris la te soufri a, mwen pral patisipe tou nan bèl pouvwa Bondye ki gen pou parèt la.

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;

Men sa m'ap di nou: Tankou gadò, se pou nou swen bann mouton Bondye ki sou kont nou an. Pa fè sa tankou si se fòse y'ap fòse nou. Men, fè l' paske nou vle fè sa Bondye vle. Pa fè travay la tankou si se dèyè lajan nou ye. Men, fè l' ak tout kè nou.

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

Pa fè menm jan ak chèf k'ap maltrete moun ki sou kont yo. Okontrè, se pou nou tounen yon egzanp pou mouton yo.

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

Konsa, lè gran gadò a va parèt, n'a resevwa yon kouwòn ki p'ap janm fennen: n'a resevwa lwanj Bondye.

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.

Menm jan an tou, nou menm jennjan yo, se pou nou soumèt devan chèf reskonsab yo. Nan tout rapò nou yonn ak lòt, se pou nou soumèt devan Bondye. Paske Bondye pran pozisyon kont moun ki gen lògèy. Men, moun ki soumèt devan l', li ba yo favè li.

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

Se poutèt sa, soumèt nou devan Bondye ki gen pouvwa, konsa la leve nou lè pou l' leve nou an.

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

Lage tout tèt chaje nou yo ba li, paske l'ap pran swen nou.

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

Kenbe tèt nou anplas, rete sou prigad nou. Paske dyab la, lènmi nou an, ap veye nou tankou yon lyon ki move, k'ap chache moun pou l' devore.

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

Kanpe fèm nan konfyans nou, kenbe tèt avè l', paske nou konnen lòt frè nou yo ki nan lemonn ap soufri menm soufrans ak nou.

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

Men, apre n'a fin soufri yon ti tan, Bondye li menm va rann nou bon nèt, la kenbe nou fèm, la ban nou fòs, l'ap fè nou kanpe san brannen. Paske Bondye bay tout kalite favè. Se li menm ki te rele nou, gremesi Kris la, pou n' te patisipe nan pouvwa li ki p'ap janm fini.

To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Se pou li tout pouvwa a, depi tout tan ak pou tout tan. Amèn.

By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.

Se avèk konkou frè Silven, yon nonm serye dapre sa mwen konnen, m'ap ekri nou lèt sa a, pou m' ka ankouraje nou, pou m' fè nou konnen jan favè Bondye pou nou an se yon bagay ki vre. Kenbe fèm nan li.

The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.

Legliz Bondye chwazi nan lavil Babilòn lan voye bonjou pou nou, ansanm ak Mak, pitit mwen an.

Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Bò pa nou, yonn di lòt bonjou pou mwen, yonn bo lòt tankou frè ak frè. Mwen mande pou nou tout k'ap viv ansanm nan Kris la, pou nou gen kè poze.
