1 Petrova 1
1 Petar, apostol Isusa Krista: putnicima Raseljeništva u Pontu, Galaciji, Kapadociji, Aziji i Bitiniji,
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect sojourners of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,
2 po predznanju Boga Oca, posvećenjem Duha izabranima da budu poslušni te poškropljeni krvlju Isusa Krista. Punina vam milosti i mira!
elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the setting apart of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling with the blood of Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be multiplied to you.
3 Blagoslovljen Bog i Otac Gospodina našega Isusa Krista koji nas po velikom milosrđu svojemu uskrsnućem Isusa Krista od mrtvih nanovo rodi za životnu nadu,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has given us another birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from among the dead,
4 za baštinu neraspadljivu, neokaljanu i neuvelu, pohranjenu na nebesima za vas,
into an imperishable and undefiled and unfading inheritance, already reserved in the heavens for you,
5 vas koje snaga Božja po vjeri čuva za spasenje, spremno da se objavi u posljednje vrijeme.
who are being guarded by the power of God through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Zbog toga se radujte, makar se sada možda trebalo malo i žalostiti zbog različitih kušnja:
You should be overjoyed about this, even if just now, briefly, of necessity, you have been distressed by a variety of trials,
7 da prokušanost vaše vjere - dragocjenija od propadljivog zlata, koje se ipak u vatri kuša - stekne hvalu, slavu i čast o Objavljenju Isusa Krista.
so that the demonstrated genuineness of your faith (much more precious than gold that perishes, albeit tested through fire) may translate into praise, glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ
8 Njega vi ljubite iako ga ne vidjeste; u njega, iako ga još ne gledate, vjerujete te klikćete od radosti neizrecive i proslavljene
—whom not having understood you love, into whom believing (not yet seeing) you exult with joy inexpressible, already glorified,
9 što postigoste svrhu svoje vjere: spasenje duša.
obtaining for yourselves the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 To su spasenje istraživali i pronicali proroci koji prorokovahu o milosti vama namijenjenoj.
Concerning this salvation the prophets, who prophesied about the grace that would come to you, searched and inquired diligently,
11 Pronicali su na koje ili kakvo je vrijeme smjerao Duh Kristov u njima koji je unaprijed svjedočio o Kristovim patnjama te slavama što su nakon njih imale doći:
investigating into whom, or what sort of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating as He testified beforehand the sufferings that would be inflicted on Christ and the glories that would follow them.
12 bi im objavljeno da ne sebi nego vama poslužuju ono što vam sada u Duhu Svetom s neba poslanom navijestiše vaši blagovjesnici, a nada što se i anđeli žude nadviti.
It was revealed to them that they were not ministering these things to themselves, but to you; which things have now been announced to you by those who proclaimed the gospel to you, with the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things that angels really desire to look into.
13 Zato opašite bokove pameti svoje, trijezni budite i savršeno se pouzdajte u milost koju vam donosi Objavljenje Isusa Krista.
Therefore, having girded up the loins of your mind, staying sober, rest your hope fully upon the grace being brought to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ—
14 Kao poslušna djeca ne supriličujte se prijašnjim požudama iz doba neznanja.
as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts as in your ignorance,
15 Naprotiv, kao što je svet Onaj koji vas pozva, i vi budite sveti u svemu življenju.
but just as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your way of life,
16 Ta pisano je: Budite sveti jer sam ja svet.
because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
17 Ako dakle Ocem nazivate njega koji nepristrano svakoga po djelu sudi, vrijeme svoga proputovanja proživite u bogobojaznosti.
Also, since you invoke as Father the One who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves during the time of your sojourn here in fear,
18 Ta znate da od svog ispraznog načina života, što vam ga oci namriješe, niste otkupljeni nečim raspadljivim, srebrom ili zlatom,
knowing that it was not with perishable things (silver or gold) that you were redeemed from the futile way of life handed down by your forefathers,
19 nego dragocjenom krvlju Krista, Jaganjca nevina i bez mane.
but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a faultless and pure lamb;
20 On bijaše doduše predviđen prije postanka svijeta, ali se očitova na kraju vremena radi vas
who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake,
21 koji po njemu vjerujete u Boga koji ga uskrisi od mrtvih te mu dade slavu da vjera vaša i nada bude u Bogu.
who through Him are believing into God, who raised Him out from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are into God.
22 Pošto ste posluhom istini očistili duše svoje za nehinjeno bratoljublje, od srca žarko ljubite jedni druge.
Since you have purified your souls by obeying the truth through the Spirit, resulting in sincere brotherly love, you must love one another fervently from a pure heart,
23 Ta nanovo ste rođeni, ne iz sjemena raspadljiva nego neraspadljiva: riječju Boga koji živi i ostaje. (aiōn g165)
having been begotten again, not from a corruptible seed but an incorruptible, through the living Word of God that remains valid forever. (aiōn g165)
24 Doista, svako je tijelo kao trava, sva mu slava ko cvijet poljski: sahne trava, vene cvijet,
For: “All flesh is as grass, and all man's glory as flower of grass. The grass withers and its flower falls off, but the Lord's word endures forever.”
