1 Peter 3
1 Likewise the wives, being subordinate to their own husbands, so that even if any are disobedient to the word, they will be gained without a word by the behavior of the wives,
Ligesaa, I Hustruer! underordner eder under eders egne Mænd, for at, selv om nogle ere genstridige imod Ordet, de kunne vindes uden Ord ved Hustruernes Vandel,
2 observing, in fear, your pure behavior.
naar de iagttage eders kyske Vandel i Frygt.
3 Of which let it not be the outward world of braiding of hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on apparel,
Eders Prydelse skal ikke være den udvortes med Haarfletning og paahængte Guldsmykker eller Klædedragt,
4 but the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible, of the meek and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.
men Hjertets skjulte Menneske med den sagtmodige og stille Aands uforkrænkelige Prydelse, hvilket er meget kosteligt for Gud.
5 For this way formerly also, the holy women, trusting in God, adorned themselves, being subordinate to their own husbands,
Thi saaledes var det ogsaa, at fordum de hellige Kvinder, som haabede paa Gud, prydede sig, idet de underordnede sig under deres egne Mænd,
6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children ye became, doing good, and not being afraid of anything fearful.
som Sara var Abraham lydig, hun kaldte ham Herre, hun, hvis Børn I ere blevne, naar I gøre det gode og ikke frygte nogen Rædsel.
7 Likewise the husbands living together knowledgeably, as with a weaker vessel, apportioning worth to the female as also joint-heirs of the grace of life, for your prayers not to be hindered.
Ligesaa I Mænd! lever med Forstand sammen med eders Hustruer som med et svagere Kar, og beviser dem Ære som dem, der ogsaa ere Medarvinger til Livets Naadegave, for at eders Bønner ikke skulle hindres.
8 And finally, all be like-minded, sympathetic, brother-loving, compassionate, friendly,
Og til Slutning værer alle enssindede, medlidende, kærlige imod Brødrene, barmhjertige, ydmyge;
9 not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling, but instead giving praise, knowing that ye were called for this, so that ye might inherit a blessing.
betaler ikke ondt med ondt, eller Skældsord med Skældsord, men tværtimod velsigner, thi dertil bleve I kaldede, at I skulle arve Velsignelse.
10 For he who wants to love life, and see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips not to speak deceit.
Thi „den, som vil elske Livet og se gode Dage, skal holde sin Tunge fra ondt og sine Læber fra at tale Svig;
11 Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
han vende sig fra ondt og gøre godt; han søge Fred og jage efter den!
12 Because the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, and his ears to their supplication, but the face of the Lord is against men who do evil things.
Thi Herrens Øjne ere over de retfærdige, og hans Øren til deres Bøn; men Herrens Ansigt er over dem, som gøre ondt.‟
13 And who is he who will harm you, if ye become imitators of the good?
Og hvem er der, som kan volde eder ondt, dersom I ere nidkære for det gode?
14 But even if ye should suffer because of righteousness, ye are blessed. But do not fear their terror nor be shaken,
Men om I ogsaa maatte lide for Retfærdigheds Skyld, ere I salige. Nærer ingen Frygt for dem, og forfærdes ikke;
15 but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. And always be ready for a defense to every man who asks you a word about the hope in you, with meekness and fear.
men helliger den Herre Kristus i eders Hjerter, altid rede til at forsvare eder over for enhver, som kræver eder til Regnskab for det Haab, der er i eder, men med Sagtmodighed og Frygt,
16 Having a good conscience, so that, in what they speak against you as of evildoers, they may be ashamed, those who revile your good behavior in Christ.
idet I have en god Samvittighed, for at de, der laste eders gode Vandel i Kristus, maa blive til Skamme, naar de bagtale eder som Ugerningsmænd.
17 For it is better to suffer doing good, if the will of God desires, than for doing evil.
Thi det er bedre, om det saa er Guds Villie, at lide, naar man gør godt, end naar man gør ondt.
18 Because Christ also once suffered for sins, a righteous man for unrighteous men, so that he might bring you to God. Having indeed been killed in flesh, but made alive in spirit,
Thi ogsaa Kristus led een Gang for Synder, en retfærdig for uretfærdige, for at han kunde føre os hen til Gud, han, som led Døden i Kødet, men blev levendegjort i Aanden,
19 in which also, having gone, he preached to the spirits in prison
i hvilken han ogsaa gik hen og prædikede for Aanderne, som vare i Forvaring,
20 who were disobedient formerly, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah who prepared an ark in which a few, that is, eight souls were saved through water.
som fordum vare genstridige, dengang Guds Langmodighed ventede i Noas Dage, medens Arken byggedes, i hvilken faa, nemlig otte, Sjæle bleve frelste igennem Vand,
21 Which counterpart-immersion-now also saves us, not the putting away of filth of flesh, but an appeal of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
hvilket nu ogsaa frelser eder i sit Modbillede som Daab, der ikke er Fjernelse af Kødets Urenhed, men en god Samvittigheds Pagt med Gud ved Jesu Kristi Opstandelse,
22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, agents, and positions of authority, and powers having been subordinated to him.
han, som er faren til Himmelen og er ved Guds højre Haand, efter at Engle og Myndigheder og Kræfter ere ham underlagte.
