1 ¶ The elders who are among you I exhort (I am also an elder with them and a witness of the afflictions of the Christ, and also a participant of the glory that shall be revealed).

He whakahau tenei naku ki nga kaumatua i roto i a koutou, he hoa kaumatua hoki ahau, he kaiwhakaatu mo nga mamae o te Karaiti, kua whiwhi tahi nei hoki ki te kororia e whakakite mai i muri:

2 F eed the flock of God which is among you, caring for her, not by force, but willingly; not for shameful lucre, but with willing desire;

Whangainga te kahui a te Atua i roto i a koutou; kaua e ngakaukore ina tirotiro, engari kia hihiko; kaua mo te taonga he, engari i runga i te ngakau nui;

3 a nd not as having lordship over the heritage of the Lord, but in such a manner as to be examples of the flock.

Kaua ano hoki e whakatupu rangatira ki ta te Atua wahi, engari hei tauira koutou ki te kahui.

4 A nd when the great Prince of the pastors shall appear, ye shall receive the incorruptible crown of glory.

A kia puta mai te tino Hepara, ka whiwhi koutou ki te karauna kororia e kore e pirau.

5 ¶ Likewise, young people, be subject to the elders in such a manner that you are all subject to one another. Be clothed with humility of will, for God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.

Me koutou ano hoki, e nga taitamariki, kia ngohengohe ki nga kaumatua. Kia ngohengohe ano hoki koutou katoa, tetahi ki tetahi, ko te ngakau papaku ano hei whitiki mo koutou: no te mea hoki e pakeke ana te Atua ki te hunga whakapehapeha, ka hoatu ia e ia he aroha noa ki te hunga papaku.

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

Na, whakapapaku iho koutou i raro i te ringaringa kaha o te Atua, kia whakateiteitia ake ai koutou e ia i te wa e pai ai:

7 c asting all your cares upon him, for he cares for you.

Maka atu o koutou manukanuka katoa ki runga ki a ia; e whakaaro ana hoki ia ki a koutou.

8 ¶ Be temperate and vigilant because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour,

Kia mataara, kai matapopore; kei te haereere hoki to koutou hoa whawhai, te rewera, ano he raiona e ngengere ana, e rapu ana i te tangata hei horomanga mana:

9 r esist him steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are to be accomplished in the company of your brethren that are in the world.

Kia u ki te whakapono, ka tu atu ai ki a ia; me te mahara ano ka rite aua mamae nei ano i o koutou teina i te ao.

10 ¶ But the God of all grace, who has called us unto his eternal glory by Jesus, the Christ, after ye have suffered a little while, he himself perfects, confirms, strengthens, and establishes you.

Na ma te Atua o nga mahi aroha noa katoa, i karangatia ai koutou ki tona kororia mutungakore i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, ka oti koutou te whakamamae i tenei wa iti nei, mana koutou e mea kia tino rite, mana e whakau, mana e whakakaha, mana e whakapu mau.

11 T o him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Waiho atu i a ia te kororia me te kaha ake ake. Amine.

12 B y Silvanus, a faithful brother; (according to my reckoning), I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which ye stand.

Kua tuhituhia atu nei e ahau etahi kupu torutoru, hei maunga atu ma Hirawanu: he teina pono ia no koutou ki toku whakaaro: he whakahau atu tenei, he whakaatu naku, ko te tino aroha noa tenei o te Atua e tu nei koutou.

13 T hose here at Babylon, chosen together with you, salute you and so does Mark, my son.

Tenei te oha atu nei ki a koutou te hahi i Papurona, i whiriwhiria ngatahitia nei koutou; me taku tamaiti ano hoki me Maka.

14 G reet one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Jesus, the Christ. Amen.

Oha atu tetahi ki tetahi, hei te kihi aroha ano. Kia tau te rangimarie ki a koutou katoa i roto i a Karaiti Ihu. Amine.
