¹The 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:

¹[Fananarana ny loholona mba ho malemy fanahy sy ho mahatoky, ary fananarana ny olona rehetra mba hanetry tena sy hitandrina. Vavaka farany sy fanaovam-beloma] Koa ny amin'ny loholona izay eo aminareo, izaho, izay naman ny loholona sy vavolombelon'ny fijalian'i Kristy ary mpiombona ny voninahitra efa haseho koa, dia mananatra azy hoe: [ Gr. presbytera]

²Feed 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;

²Andraso ny ondrin'Andriamanitra izay eo aminareo, mitandrina azy tsy an-tery, fa amin'ny sitrapo,[araka an'Andriamanitra]; tsy amin'ny fitiavana harena maloto, fa amin'ny zotom-panahy; [ Na: izay andraikitrareo]

³Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

³tsy ho mpanjakazaka, amin'ny anjara-fiandrasana, fa ho fianaran'ny ondry.

⁴And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

⁴Ary rehefa miseho ny Lohan'ny mpiandry, dia hahazo ny satro-boninahitra tsy mety simba ianareo,

⁵Likewise, 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.

⁵Ary ianareo izay mbola tanora fanahy kosa, dia maneke ny loholona. Eny, samia misikina fanetren-tena ianareo ka mifanompoa; fa "Andriamanitra manohitra ny miavonavona, fa manome fahasoavana ho an'ny manetry tena" (Oha. 3.34). [ Gr. presbytera]

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

⁶Koa amin'izany manetre tena ambanin'ny tàna-maherin'Andriamanitra, mba hanandratany anareo amin'ny fotoan'andro;

⁷Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

⁷ary apetraho aminy ny fanahianareo rehetra; fa Izy no miahy anareo (Sal. 55.22).

⁸Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

⁸Mahonòna tena, miambena: fa ny devoly fahavalonareo mandehandeha tahaka ny liona mierona mitady izay harapany;

⁹Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

⁹tohero izy, ka miorena tsara amin'ny finoana ianareo, satria fantatrareo fa izany fahoriana izany dia manjo ny rahalahinareo rehetra eran'izao tontolo izao.

¹⁰But 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.

¹⁰Ary Andriamanitry ny fahasoavana rehetra, Izay efa niantso anareo ho any amin'ny voninahiny mandrakizay ao amin'i Kristy, rehefa niaritra fahoriana vetivety ianareo, dia Izy no hahatanteraka sy hampiorina ary hampitoetra anareo.

¹¹To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

¹¹Ho Azy anie ny fanjakana mandrakizay mandrakizay. Amena.

¹²By 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.

¹²Efa manoratra teny fohifohy ho aminareo aho hampitondraina an'i Silasy, izay ataoko ho rahalahy mahatoky, dia mananatra anareo aho ka manambara fa izany no tena fahasoavan'Andriamanitra,- tomoera tsara amin'izany ianareo.

¹³The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.

¹³Izay any Babylona, voafidy ho namanareo, manao veloma anareo, ary Marka zanako koa.Mifanaova veloma amin'ny fanoroham-pitiavana. Ho aminareo rehetra izay ao amin'i Kristy anie ny fiadanana.

¹⁴Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

¹⁴Mifanaova veloma amin'ny fanoroham-pitiavana. Ho aminareo rehetra izay ao amin'i Kristy anie ny fiadanana.
