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¶ 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:
2shepherd the flock of God which [is] among you, exercising oversight, not by necessity, but willingly; not for base gain, but readily;
2Whangainga 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;
3not as lording it over your possessions, but being models for the flock.
3Kaua ano hoki e whakatupu rangatira ki ta te Atua wahi, engari hei tauira koutou ki te kahui.
4And when the chief shepherd is manifested ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.
4A kia puta mai te tino Hepara, ka whiwhi koutou ki te karauna kororia e kore e pirau.
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.
5¶ 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.
6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in [the due] time;
6Na, 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:
7having cast all your care upon him, for he cares about you.
7Maka atu o koutou manukanuka katoa ki runga ki a ia; e whakaaro ana hoki ia ki a koutou.
8Be vigilant, watch. Your adversary [the] devil as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour.
8¶ 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:
9Whom resist, stedfast in faith, knowing that the selfsame sufferings are accomplished in your brotherhood which [is] in [the] world.
9Kia 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.
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:
10¶ 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.
11to him [be] the glory and the might for the ages of the ages. Amen.
11Waiho atu i a ia te kororia me te kaha ake ake. Amine.
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.
12Kua 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.
13She that is elected with [you] in Babylon salutes you, and Marcus my son.
13Tenei te oha atu nei ki a koutou te hahi i Papurona, i whiriwhiria ngatahitia nei koutou; me taku tamaiti ano hoki me Maka.
14Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all who [are] in Christ.
14Oha atu tetahi ki tetahi, hei te kihi aroha ano. Kia tau te rangimarie ki a koutou katoa i roto i a Karaiti Ihu. Amine.
