1 Peter 5
EasyEnglish Bible

Peter writes to leaders and young men

5 Now I want to say something to you who are leaders of the groups of believers. Like you, I am also a leader. I myself saw how people caused Christ to have great pain so that he died. One day people will see how great he really is. Then I will be among those people who join with him in heaven. So I say this to you who are leaders: 2 Watch over the group of believers that God has given to you. Be like a shepherd that takes care of his sheep. Lead them well because you want to do it. Do not do it just because you have to do it. Do it in the way that God wants for you. Do not be a leader because you want to receive money for yourself. Instead, do it because you want to help people.

3 God has given you a group of believers to take care of them. Do not try to rule over them with power. Instead, show them how to live in a good way, so that they can copy you. 4 Then our master, Christ, will give you a beautiful crown when he appears. That is a great gift that will never become old or less beautiful. He is the great Shepherd who takes care of us.[a]

5 I want to say the same thing to you who are young men. You must respect the authority of the leaders. All of you who are believers must respect one another. Do not think that you are more important than other people. The Bible says:

‘God is against proud people.
But he is kind to humble people.’[b]

6 Remember that God is strong and powerful. So be humble in front of him. Then he will lift you up to a good place at the right time. 7 If you have any kind of trouble in your mind, give it to God. God has promised to take care of you.[c]

8 Think seriously about how you live. Watch carefully for danger. Remember that the Devil is your enemy. He wants to hurt you. He walks about like a hungry lion. He is looking for someone to kill and then eat them! 9 But you must be strong to fight against him. Trust God completely. Remember this: Believers all over the world are having the same kind of trouble. 10 Yes, you will have trouble like this for a short time. But after that, God will make everything right. He is completely kind and he will always help you. Because you belong to Christ, God has chosen you to live with him in heaven for ever. You will join him in that beautiful place. Then God will make you well again. He will make you strong in your spirits. You will be able to stand strongly. 11 Yes, God rules with power for ever! Amen! This is true!

Peter finishes his letter

12 Silas has helped me to write this short letter to you. I know that he continues to trust Christ well.[d] I have written to you because I want you to be strong. I have told you how God is kind to us and he helps us. This is God's true message to you. So continue to believe it and be strong.

13 The believers here in Babylon say ‘hello’ to you.[e] God has chosen them as his people, together with you. Mark, who is like my son, also says ‘hello’ to you. 14 When you meet, kiss each other as Christian brothers and sisters.

I pray for all of you who belong to Christ. I pray that God will give you peace in your minds.

  3. 5:7 See Psalms 55:22.
  4. 5:12 Silas was a leader of the Christians who were at Jerusalem, along with Peter. See Acts 15:22.
  5. 5:13 ‘Babylon’ here probably means Rome, the capital city of Italy. At that time, the king of Rome (Caesar) ruled many countries. His soldiers were causing a lot of trouble for Christians. Many years earlier, people from Babylon had caused a lot of trouble for Israel's people. So the Christians used Babylon as a secret name for Rome.

彼得前书 5
Chinese New Version (Simplified)

务要牧养　神的羊群

5 我这同作长老，也是为基督受苦作见证，又是同享将来所要显现的荣耀的，劝你们当中作长老的： 2 务要牧养在你们中间的　神的羊群，按着　神的旨意看顾他们。不是出于勉强，而是出于甘心；不是因为贪财，而是出于热诚； 3 也不是要辖制托付你们的羊群，而是作他们的榜样。 4 到了牧长显现的时候，你们必定得着那永不衰残的荣耀冠冕。

5 照样，你们青年人要顺服年长的。就是你们各人也要彼此以谦卑为装束，因为

“　神敌挡骄傲的人，

赐恩给谦卑的人。”

6 所以你们要谦卑，服在　神大能的手下，到了时候，他必叫你们升高。 7 你们要把一切忧虑卸给　神，因为他顾念你们。

8 你们要谨守、警醒。你们的仇敌魔鬼，好象吼叫的狮子走来走去，寻找可以吞吃的人； 9 你们要用坚强的信心抵挡他，因为知道你们在世上的弟兄，也经历过同样的苦难。 10 但满有恩典的　神，就是在基督里召你们进入他永远荣耀的那一位，在你们受了短暂的苦难之后，必定亲自成全你们，坚固你们，赐力量给你们，建立你们。 11 愿权能归给他，直到永远。阿们。

劝勉和祝福

12 我借着我认为忠心的弟兄西拉，简略地写了这封信劝勉你们，又向你们证实这是　神真正的恩典；你们要在这恩典上站立得住。 13 在巴比伦与你们同蒙拣选的，和我儿子马可都问候你们。 14 你们要用爱心彼此亲吻问安。愿平安归与你们所有在基督里的人。

1 Peter 5
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,

“God opposes the proud
    but shows favor to the humble.”[a](N)

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.

1 Петира 5
Священное Писание (Восточный Перевод)

Наставления старейшинам

5 Будучи сам старейшиной и свидетелем страданий Масиха, а также соучастником Его славы, которая должна открыться, я прошу ваших старейшин: 2 пасите стадо Всевышнего, оставленное вам на попечение, наблюдая за ним не по принуждению, а с желанием, как угодно Всевышнему, и не ради низкой корысти, а из усердия. 3 Не властвуйте над вверенными вам людьми, но подавайте стаду хороший пример. 4 И когда придёт Тот, Кто является Пастухом над вами, тогда вы получите неувядающий венец славы.

Наставления верующим

5 Вы же, молодые, подчиняйтесь старейшинам. И все будьте смиренны по отношению друг ко другу, потому что

«Всевышний – противник гордых,
    но смиренным Он даёт благодать»[a].

6 Поэтому смиритесь под могучей рукой Всевышнего, и Он возвысит вас в своё время. 7 Возложите все ваши заботы на Него, ведь Он печётся о вас.[b]

8 Будьте бдительны и бодрствуйте. Ваш враг, дьявол, бродит вокруг, как рычащий лев, в поисках жертвы. 9 Будьте тверды в вере и противостаньте дьяволу, помня, что по всему миру ваши братья терпят такие же страдания.

10 После вашего кратковременного страдания Всевышний, источник всякой благодати, призвавший вас к вечной Своей славе через Ису Масиха, восстановит вас, даст твёрдость, силу и стойкость. 11 Ему принадлежит вся власть вовеки, аминь!

Заключительные приветствия

12 С помощью Силуана[c], которого считаю верным братом, я написал вам это короткое письмо, ободряя и свидетельствуя о том, что написанное мной есть истинная благодать Всевышнего. Стойте в ней твёрдо.

13 Община верующих в Вавилоне[d], избранная, как и вы, а также Марк, который мне как сын, передают вам привет. 14 Приветствуйте друг друга поцелуем любви[e].

Мир всем вам, живущим в единении с Исой Масихом.
