1 Pedro 5
Almeida Revista e Corrigida 2009
Os deveres dos anciãos e dos jovens. Humildade e vigilância
5 Aos presbíteros que estão entre vós, admoesto eu, que sou também presbítero com eles, e testemunha das aflições de Cristo, e participante da glória que se há de revelar: 2 apascentai o rebanho de Deus que está entre vós, tendo cuidado dele, não por força, mas voluntariamente; nem por torpe ganância, mas de ânimo pronto; 3 nem como tendo domínio sobre a herança de Deus, mas servindo de exemplo ao rebanho. 4 E, quando aparecer o Sumo Pastor, alcançareis a incorruptível coroa de glória.
5 Semelhantemente vós, jovens, sede sujeitos aos anciãos; e sede todos sujeitos uns aos outros e revesti-vos de humildade, porque Deus resiste aos soberbos, mas dá graça aos humildes. 6 Humilhai-vos, pois, debaixo da potente mão de Deus, para que, a seu tempo, vos exalte, 7 lançando sobre ele toda a vossa ansiedade, porque ele tem cuidado de vós. 8 Sede sóbrios, vigiai, porque o diabo, vosso adversário, anda em derredor, bramando como leão, buscando a quem possa tragar; 9 ao qual resisti firmes na fé, sabendo que as mesmas aflições se cumprem entre os vossos irmãos no mundo.
Votos e saudações finais
10 E o Deus de toda a graça, que em Cristo Jesus vos chamou à sua eterna glória, depois de haverdes padecido um pouco, ele mesmo vos aperfeiçoará, confirmará, fortificará e fortalecerá. 11 A ele seja a glória e o poderio, para todo o sempre. Amém!
12 Por Silvano, vosso fiel irmão, como cuido, escrevi abreviadamente, exortando e testificando que esta é a verdadeira graça de Deus, na qual estais firmes. 13 A vossa coeleita em Babilônia vos saúda, e meu filho Marcos. 14 Saudai-vos uns aos outros com ósculo de amor. Paz seja com todos vós que estais em Cristo Jesus. Amém!
1 Peter 5
English Standard Version
Shepherd the Flock of God
5 So I exhort the elders among you, (A)as a fellow elder and (B)a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: 2 (C)shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight,[a] (D)not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you;[b] (E)not for shameful gain, but eagerly; 3 not (F)domineering over those in your charge, but (G)being examples to the flock. 4 And when (H)the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the (I)unfading (J)crown of glory. 5 Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. (K)Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for (L)“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
6 (M)Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 7 (N)casting all your anxieties on him, because (O)he cares for you. 8 (P)Be sober-minded; (Q)be watchful. Your (R)adversary the devil (S)prowls around (T)like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 (U)Resist him, (V)firm in your faith, knowing that (W)the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. 10 And (X)after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, (Y)who has called you to his (Z)eternal glory in Christ, will himself (AA)restore, (AB)confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11 (AC)To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Final Greetings
12 By (AD)Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, (AE)I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is (AF)the true grace of God. (AG)Stand firm in it. 13 She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings, and so does (AH)Mark, my son. 14 (AI)Greet one another with the kiss of love.
(AJ)Peace to all of you who are in Christ.

New International Version
To the Elders and the Flock
5 To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder(A) and a witness(B) of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed:(C) 2 Be shepherds of God’s flock(D) that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be;(E) not pursuing dishonest gain,(F) but eager to serve; 3 not lording it over(G) those entrusted to you, but being examples(H) to the flock. 4 And when the Chief Shepherd(I) appears, you will receive the crown of glory(J) that will never fade away.(K)
5 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves(L) to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility(M) toward one another, because,
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.(O) 7 Cast all your anxiety on him(P) because he cares for you.(Q)
8 Be alert and of sober mind.(R) Your enemy the devil prowls around(S) like a roaring lion(T) looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him,(U) standing firm in the faith,(V) because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.(W)
10 And the God of all grace, who called you(X) to his eternal glory(Y) in Christ, after you have suffered a little while,(Z) will himself restore you and make you strong,(AA) firm and steadfast. 11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.(AB)
Final Greetings
12 With the help of Silas,[b](AC) whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly,(AD) encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it.(AE)
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark.(AF) 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love.(AG)
Peace(AH) to all of you who are in Christ.
