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 chosen ones who are living as foreigners in 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!
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
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 caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 za baštinu neraspadljivu, neokaljanu i neuvelu, pohranjenu na nebesima za vas,
to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn’t fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
5 vas koje snaga Božja po vjeri čuva za spasenje, spremno da se objavi u posljednje vrijeme.
who by the power of God are guarded through faith for 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:
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved 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.
that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, even though it is tested by fire, may be found to 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
whom, not having known, you love. In him, though now you don’t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory,
9 što postigoste svrhu svoje vjere: spasenje duša.
receiving the 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 sought and searched diligently. They prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
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:
searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them pointed to when he predicted the sufferings of 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.
To them it was revealed that they served not themselves, but you, in these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels 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 prepare your minds for action. Be sober, and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ—
14 Kao poslušna djeca ne supriličujte se prijašnjim požudama iz doba neznanja.
as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your 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 yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior,
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.
If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man’s work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear,
18 Ta znate da od svog ispraznog načina života, što vam ga oci namriješe, niste otkupljeni nečim raspadljivim, srebrom ili zlatom,
knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things like silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,
19 nego dragocjenom krvlju Krista, Jaganjca nevina i bez mane.
but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Christ,
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 this last age 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 believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Pošto ste posluhom istini očistili duše svoje za nehinjeno bratoljublje, od srca žarko ljubite jedni druge.
Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,
23 Ta nanovo ste rođeni, ne iz sjemena raspadljiva nego neraspadljiva: riječju Boga koji živi i ostaje. (aiōn g165)
having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever. (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 of man’s glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
