1 Peter 2
1 Therefore, having put off all evil and all deceit and hypocrisies and envies and all evil speaking,
Zatorej dajte na stran vso zlobnost in vso zvijačo in hinavščine in nevoščljivosti in vsa hudobna govorjenja,
2 as newborn babes, long for the genuine intellectual milk, so that ye may grow by it,
kot novorojeni otročiči si želite pristnega mleka besede, da boste s tem lahko rastli;
3 if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord is excellent.
če je tako, ste okusili, da je Gospod milostljiv.
4 Coming to whom, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but with God chosen, precious,
H kateremu prihajajte kakor k živemu kamnu, zares zavrnjenemu od ljudi, toda od Boga izbranemu in dragocenemu.
5 ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
Tudi vi ste kot živi kamni, vgrajeni [v] duhovno hišo, sveto duhovništvo, da darujete duhovne žrtve, po Jezusu Kristusu sprejemljive Bogu.
6 It is therefore contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, chosen, precious. And he who believes in him will, no, not be shamed.
Zatorej je tudi vsebovano v pismu: »Glej, na Sionu položim glavni vogalni kamen, izvoljen, dragocen, in kdor veruje vanj, ne bo zbegan.«
7 To you therefore who believe is the preciousness, but for men who disobey, A stone that the builders rejected, this became the head of the corner,
Vam torej, ki verujete, je dragocen; toda tem, ki so neposlušni, je kamen, ki so ga graditelji zavrnili, ta isti postal glava vogalu
8 and, A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, men who stumble at the word, being disobedient, for which also they were set.
in kamen spotike in skala pohujšanja, celó tem, ki se spotikajo ob besedo, ki so neposlušni; za kar so bili tudi določeni.
9 But ye are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for an acquired possession, so that ye might broadly proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
Toda vi ste izbran rod, kraljevo duhovništvo, svet narod, posebni ljudje; da naj bi naznanjali hvale tistega, ki vas je iz teme poklical v svojo čudovito svetlobo;
10 Men formerly not a people, but now are a people of God. Men who had not obtained mercy, but who now have obtained mercy.
ki v preteklem času niste bili ljudstvo, toda sedaj ste Božje ljudstvo; ki niste dosegli usmiljenja, toda sedaj ste usmiljenje dosegli.
11 Beloved, I beseech you as aliens and sojourners, to abstain from the fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.
Srčno ljubljeni, rotim vas kot tujce in romarje; vzdržite se pred mesenimi poželenji, ki se bojujejo zoper dušo;
12 Having your behavior good among the Gentiles, so that, upon which they speak against you as evildoers, they may glorify God in the day of visitation, from having observed your good works.
imejte svoje vedênje iskreno med pogani, da bodo, medtem ko govorijo proti vam kot hudodelcem, lahko po vaših dobrih delih, ki jih bodo gledali, na dan obiskanja proslavili Boga.
13 Therefore because of the Lord, ye should submit to every human establishment, whether to a king as being supreme,
Zaradi Gospoda se podredite vsaki človeški odredbi; bodisi je to kralj, kot najvišji,
14 or to governors as being sent by him for vengeance of evildoers and praise of well-doers.
bodisi voditeljem, kot tistim, ki so po njem poslani za kaznovanje hudodelcev in za hvalo teh, ki delajo dobro.
15 Because this way is the will of God, doing good to muzzle the ignorance of the foolish men.
Kajti taka je Božja volja, da boste s počenjanjem dobrega lahko utišali nevednost nespametnih ljudi.
16 As free, and not having your freedom as a cover-up of evil, but as bondmen of God.
Kot svobodni, pa svoje svobode ne uporabljajte za ogrinjalo zlonamernosti, temveč kakor Božji služabniki.
17 Respect all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Respect the king.
Spoštujte vse ljudi. Ljubite bratstvo. Bojte se Boga. Spoštujte kralja.
18 Household servants, submitting to the masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wayward.
Služabniki, z vsem strahom bodite podrejeni svojim gospodarjem; ne samo dobrim in blagim, temveč tudi osornim.
19 For this is graciousness, if, because of consciousness of God, any man endures sorrows, suffering wrongfully.
Kajti vredno hvale je to, če človek, ki krivično trpi zaradi zavedanja pred Bogom, prenaša žalost.
20 For what kind of credit is it, if, sinning and being beaten, ye will endure? But if, doing good and suffering, ye will endure, this is graciousness with God.
Kajti kakšna čast je to, če boste, ko ste oklofutani zaradi svojih napak, to potrpežljivo prestali? Toda ko delate dobro in zaradi tega trpite, če to potrpežljivo prestanete, je to sprejemljivo pri Bogu.
21 For ye were called for this. Because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, so that ye should follow his footsteps.
Kajti celó k temu ste bili poklicani, ker je tudi Kristus trpel za nas in nam pustil zgled, da naj bi vi sledili njegovim stopinjam;
22 Who did no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth.
ki ni storil greha niti v njegovih ustih ni bilo najti zvijače;
23 Who, being reviled, did not revile in return. Suffering, he did not threaten, but yielded to him who judges righteously.
ki ni ponovno zasramoval, ko je bil zasramovan; ko je trpel, ni grozil; temveč je sebe izročil njemu, ki sodi pravično;
24 Who himself took up our sins in his body upon the tree, so that we, having died to sins, might live to the righteousness of him from whose wound ye were healed.
ki je sam, v svojem lastnem telesu, naše grehe ponesel na les, da naj bi mi, mrtvi grehom, lahko živeli v pravičnosti; s čigar udarci z bičem ste bili ozdravljeni.
25 For ye were like sheep going astray, but now were returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.
Kajti bili ste kakor ovce, ki so zašle, toda sedaj ste vrnjeni k Pastirju in duhovnemu Nadzorniku svojih duš.
