1The elders which [are] among you I exhort, who [am their] fellow-elder and witness of the sufferings of the Christ, who also [am] partaker of the glory about to 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]
2shepherd the flock of God which [is] among you, exercising oversight, not by necessity, but willingly; not for base gain, but readily;
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]
3not as lording it over your possessions, but being models for the flock.
3tsy ho mpanjakazaka, amin'ny anjara-fiandrasana, fa ho fianaran'ny ondry.
4And when the chief shepherd is manifested ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.
4Ary rehefa miseho ny Lohan'ny mpiandry, dia hahazo ny satro-boninahitra tsy mety simba ianareo,
5Likewise [ye] younger, be subject to [the] elder, and all of you bind on humility towards one another; for God sets himself against [the] proud, but to [the] humble gives grace.
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 [the due] time;
6Koa amin'izany manetre tena ambanin'ny tàna-maherin'Andriamanitra, mba hanandratany anareo amin'ny fotoan'andro;
7having cast all your care upon him, for he cares about you.
7ary apetraho aminy ny fanahianareo rehetra; fa Izy no miahy anareo (Sal. 55.22).
8Be vigilant, watch. Your adversary [the] devil as a roaring lion walks 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 faith, knowing that the selfsame sufferings are accomplished in your brotherhood which [is] 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 has called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, when ye have suffered for a little while, himself shall make perfect, stablish, strengthen, ground:
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] the glory and the might for the ages of the ages. Amen.
11Ho Azy anie ny fanjakana mandrakizay mandrakizay. Amena.
12By Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I suppose, I have written to you briefly; exhorting and testifying that this is [the] true grace of God in which 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.
13She that is elected with [you] in Babylon salutes you, and 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.
14Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all who [are] in Christ.
14Mifanaova veloma amin'ny fanoroham-pitiavana. Ho aminareo rehetra izay ao amin'i Kristy anie ny fiadanana.
