1Ko au ko e motuʻa, pea ko e fakamoʻoni ki he ngaahi mamahi ʻa Kalaisi, pea teu kau foki ʻi he nāunau ʻe fakahā, ʻoku ou enginaki atu ki he kau mātuʻa ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu:
1The ancients therefore that are among you, I beseech, who am myself also an ancient, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ: as also a partaker of that glory which is to be revealed in time to come:
2Fafanga ʻae fanga sipi ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻo leʻohi ia, ʻikai ʻi he fakapāpākū, ka ʻi he loto fiefai pe; ʻikai koeʻuhi ko e koloa ʻuli, kae ʻi he loto manavakavakava;
2Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking care of it, not by constraint, but willingly, according to God: not for filthy lucre’s sake, but voluntarily:
3Pea ʻikai hangē ko e kau pule ki he nofoʻanga, ka ko e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ki he fanga sipi.
3Neither as lording it over the clergy, but being made a pattern of the flock from the heart.
4Pea ka hā mai ʻae Tauhi lahi, ʻe maʻu ai ʻekimoutolu ʻae pale ʻoe nāunau ʻe ʻikai mae.
4And when the prince of pastors shall appear, you shall receive a never fading crown of glory.
5Pea ko kimoutolu foki, ko e kau talavou, fakavaivaiʻi ʻakimoutolu ki he mātuʻa. ʻIo, ke fefakaʻaiʻaiʻaki ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu, pea kofuʻaki ʻae angavaivai: “He ʻoku tekeʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae fielahi, ka ʻoku ne foaki ʻae ʻaloʻofa ki he angavaivai.”
5In like manner, ye young men, be subject to the ancients. And do you all insinuate humility one to another, for God resisteth the proud, but to the humble he giveth grace.
6Ko ia ke fakavaivai ʻakimoutolu ʻi he lalo nima māfimafi ʻoe ʻOtua, ka ne hakeakiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻaho totonu:
6Be you humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in the time of visitation:
7ʻO tuku hoʻomou tokanga kotoa pē kiate ia; he ʻoku ne kau kiate kimoutolu.
7Casting all your care upon him, for he hath care of you.
8Leʻo, pea faʻa vakai; koeʻuhi ko homou fili ko e tēvolo, ʻoku ʻalu fano, ʻo hangē ha laione ngungulu, ʻo ne kumi pe ko hai ne faʻapuku hake:
8Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour.
9ʻAia mou tekeʻi atu ʻo mālohi ʻi he tui, ʻo ʻilo ko e ngaahi mamahi pehē ʻoku kātaki ʻe homou kāinga ʻoku ʻi māmani.
9Whom resist ye, strong in faith: knowing that the same affliction befalls your brethren who are in the world.
10Ka ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ʻaloʻofa kotoa pē, kuo ne uiuiʻi ʻakitautolu ki hono nāunau taʻengata ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, ʻoka hili hoʻomou kātaki siʻi pe, ke fakahaohaoa, mo fakatuʻumaʻu, mo fakamālohi, mo fokotuʻumaʻu ʻakimoutolu.
10But the God of all grace, who hath called us into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself perfect you, and confirm you, and establish you.
11Ke ʻiate ia ʻae ongoongolelei mo e pule ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
11To him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.
12Kuo u tohi siʻi kiate kimoutolu ʻia Silivenusi, ʻaia (ʻoku ou pehē) ko e kāinga angatonu, ke enginaki mo fakahā ko e ʻaloʻofa moʻoni eni ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku mou tuʻu ai.
12By Sylvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I think, I have written briefly: beseeching and testifying that this is the true grace of God, wherein you stand.
13Ko e siasi ʻoku ʻi Papilone, kuo fili fakataha mo kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻofa atu kiate kimoutolu; pea ʻoku pehē mo Maʻake ko hoku foha.
13The church that is in Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you: and so doth my son Mark.
14Mou fetoutou ʻuma ʻaki ʻae fekita ʻoe ʻofa. Ke ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu ʻae melino. ʻEmeni.
14Salute one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all you, who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
