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 exiles of the Dispersion throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen
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 and sanctified by the Spirit for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by His blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance.
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 His great mercy He has given us new birth 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 that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved 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 shielded by God’s power for the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Zbog toga se radujte, makar se sada možda trebalo malo i žalostiti zbog različitih kušnja:
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various 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 proven character of your faith—more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in 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
Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
9 što postigoste svrhu svoje vjere: spasenje duša.
now that you are receiving the goal 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 foretold the grace to come to you searched and investigated carefully,
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:
trying to determine the time and setting to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to 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 they were not serving themselves, but you, when they foretold the things now announced by those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.
13 Zato opašite bokove pameti svoje, trijezni budite i savršeno se pouzdajte u milost koju vam donosi Objavljenje Isusa Krista.
Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober-minded. Set your hope fully on the grace to be given you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
14 Kao poslušna djeca ne supriličujte se prijašnjim požudama iz doba neznanja.
As obedient children, do not conform to the passions of your former 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, so be holy in all you do,
16 Ta pisano je: Budite sveti jer sam ja svet.
for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
17 Ako dakle Ocem nazivate njega koji nepristrano svakoga po djelu sudi, vrijeme svoga proputovanja proživite u bogobojaznosti.
Since you call on a Father who judges each one’s work impartially, conduct yourselves in reverent fear during your stay as foreigners.
18 Ta znate da od svog ispraznog načina života, što vam ga oci namriješe, niste otkupljeni nečim raspadljivim, srebrom ili zlatom,
For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers,
19 nego dragocjenom krvlju Krista, Jaganjca nevina i bez mane.
but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot.
20 On bijaše doduše predviđen prije postanka svijeta, ali se očitova na kraju vremena radi vas
He was known before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the 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.
Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him; and so your faith and hope are in 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 obedience to the truth so that you have a genuine love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.
23 Ta nanovo ste rođeni, ne iz sjemena raspadljiva nego neraspadljiva: riječju Boga koji živi i ostaje. (aiōn g165)
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring 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 like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,
