1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the elect who are exiles of the Dispersion throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen
Od Petra, apostola Isusa Hrista, izbranijem došljacima, rasijanijem po Pontu, Galatiji, Kapadokiji, Aziji i Vitiniji;
2 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.
Po proviðenju Boga oca, svetinjom Duha dovedenijem u poslušanje i kropljenje krvi Isusa Hrista: da vam se umnoži blagodat i mir.
3 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,
Blagosloven Bog i otac Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista, koji nas po velikoj milosti svojoj prerodi za živ nad vaskrsenijem Isusa Hrista iz mrtvijeh,
4 and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,
Za našljedstvo nepropadljivo, koje neæe istruhnuti ni uvenuti, saèuvano na nebesima za vas,
5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power for the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
Koje je sila Božija vjerom saèuvala za spasenije, pripravljeno da se javi u pošljednje vrijeme;
6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various trials
Kojemu radujte se, premda ste sad malo gdje je potrebno) žalosni u razliènijem napastima,
7 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.
Da se kušanje vaše vjere mnogo vrednije od zlata propadljivoga koje se kuša ognjem naðe na hvalu i èast i slavu, kad se pokaže Isus Hristos;
8 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,
Kojega ne vidjevši ljubite, i kojega sad ne gledajuæi no vjerujuæi ga radujete se radošæu neiskazanom i proslavljenom,
9 now that you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Primajuæi kraj svoje vjere, spasenije dušama.
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who foretold the grace to come to you searched and investigated carefully,
Koje spasenije tražiše i ispitivaše za nj proroci, koji za vašu blagodat prorekoše;
11 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.
Ispitujuæi u kakovo ili u koje vrijeme javljaše Duh Hristov u njima, naprijed svjedoèeæi za Hristove muke i za slave po tome;
12 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.
Kojima se otkri da ne samijem sebi nego nama služahu ovijem što vam se sad javi po onima koji vam propovjediše jevanðelje poslanijem s neba Duhom svetijem, u koje anðeli žele zaviriti.
13 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.
Zato, ljubazni, zapregnuvši bedra svojega uma budite trijezni, i zacijelo se nadajte blagodati koja æe vam se prinijeti kad doðe Isus Hristos.
14 As obedient children, do not conform to the passions of your former ignorance.
Kao poslušna djeca, ne vladajuæi se po prvijem željama u svojemu neznanju,
15 But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do,
Nego po svecu koji vas je pozvao, i vi budite sveti u svemu življenju.
16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
Jer je pisano: budite sveti, jer sam ja svet.
17 Since you call on a Father who judges each one’s work impartially, conduct yourselves in reverent fear during your stay as foreigners.
I ako zovete ocem onoga, koji ne gledajuæi ko je ko, sudi svakome po djelu, provodite vrijeme svojega življenja sa strahom,
18 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,
Znajuæi da se propadljivijem srebrom ili zlatom ne iskupiste iz sujetnoga svojeg življenja, koje ste vidjeli od otaca;
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot.
Nego skupocjenom krvlju Hrista, kao bezazlena i preèista jagnjeta;
20 He was known before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sake.
Koji je odreðen još prije postanja svijeta, a javio se u pošljednja vremena vas radi,
21 Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him; and so your faith and hope are in God.
Koji kroz njega vjerujete Boga koji ga podiže iz mrtvijeh, i dade mu slavu, da bi vaša vjera i nadanje bilo u Boga.
22 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.
Duše svoje oèistivši u poslušanju istine Duhom za bratoljublje nedvolièno, od èista srca ljubite dobro jedan drugoga,
23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. (aiōn g165)
Kao preroðeni ne od sjemena koje truhne, nego od onog koje ne truhne, rijeèju živoga Boga, koja ostaje dovijeka. (aiōn g165)
24 For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,
Jer je svako tijelo kao trava, i svaka slava èovjeèija kao cvijet travni: osuši se trava, i cvijet njezin otpade;
