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 who are sojourners of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Roman Asia, and Bithynia,
2 po predznanju Boga Oca, posvećenjem Duha izabranima da budu poslušni te poškropljeni krvlju Isusa Krista. Punina vam milosti i mira!
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ; 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, by whose great mercy we have been born anew into a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead;
4 za baštinu neraspadljivu, neokaljanu i neuvelu, pohranjenu na nebesima za vas,
and into an inheritance imperishable and undefiled and fadeless, which has been kept in heaven for you
5 vas koje snaga Božja po vjeri čuva za spasenje, spremno da se objavi u posljednje vrijeme.
who, through faith, are continuously guarded by the power of God for a salvation, ready to be revealed in the last days.
6 Zbog toga se radujte, makar se sada možda trebalo malo i žalostiti zbog različitih kušnja:
Exult in this, though now for a brief moment, if need be, you have suffered many hardships.
7 da prokušanost vaše vjere - dragocjenija od propadljivog zlata, koje se ipak u vatri kuša - stekne hvalu, slavu i čast o Objavljenju Isusa Krista.
These are in order that the test of your faith, more precious than gold that is perishable and yet is tested by fire, may redound to praise and 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
Him you love, though you have never seen him; in him you ever believe, though even now you see him not, and you are rejoicing with joy unspeakable and full of glory,
9 što postigoste svrhu svoje vjere: spasenje duša.
as you continually receive the reward of your faith, even 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 regarding the grace intended for you, diligently sought and searched.
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:
They were searching to know to what time, or to what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them kept pointing, when he ever testified beforehand concerning the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.
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 it was not for themselves, but for you, that they were ministering the truths which have now been announced to you, by those who preached the gospel to you, through the help of the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven - truths into which angels long to look.
13 Zato opašite bokove pameti svoje, trijezni budite i savršeno se pouzdajte u milost koju vam donosi Objavljenje Isusa Krista.
So then brace up your minds, be steady in spirit, and fix your hope firmly in the grace that is coming to you, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
14 Kao poslušna djeca ne supriličujte se prijašnjim požudama iz doba neznanja.
Like obedient children, do not fashion yourselves according to the former passions of your days of ignorance,
15 Naprotiv, kao što je svet Onaj koji vas pozva, i vi budite sveti u svemu življenju.
but become yourselves holy in your whole manner of living, as He who has called you is holy,
16 Ta pisano je: Budite sveti jer sam ja svet.
as the Scripture says, You shall be holy, because I am holy.
17 Ako dakle Ocem nazivate njega koji nepristrano svakoga po djelu sudi, vrijeme svoga proputovanja proživite u bogobojaznosti.
And since you call upon him as Father, who impartially judges each one according to his deeds, pass the time of your sojourning here in reverence.
18 Ta znate da od svog ispraznog načina života, što vam ga oci namriješe, niste otkupljeni nečim raspadljivim, srebrom ili zlatom,
For you well know that not with perishable things, with silver or gold, were you redeemed from the emptiness of your manner of life, received by tradition from your ancestors;
19 nego dragocjenom krvlju Krista, Jaganjca nevina i bez mane.
but with precious blood, like that of a lamb without spot or blemish, even the blood of Christ.
20 On bijaše doduše predviđen prije postanka svijeta, ali se očitova na kraju vremena radi vas
He was indeed foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the 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.
Through him you believe in God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope are now in God.
22 Pošto ste posluhom istini očistili duše svoje za nehinjeno bratoljublje, od srca žarko ljubite jedni druge.
Now that by obedience to the truth you have purified your lives for a brotherly love without hypocrisy, you must love one another from your hearts, fervently.
23 Ta nanovo ste rođeni, ne iz sjemena raspadljiva nego neraspadljiva: riječju Boga koji živi i ostaje. (aiōn g165)
For you have been born anew, not of perishable, but of imperishable seed, by the living, lasting word of God. (aiōn g165)
24 Doista, svako je tijelo kao trava, sva mu slava ko cvijet poljski: sahne trava, vene cvijet,
For, All flesh is grass And all its glory like the flower of the grass. The grass fades, The flower falls,
