1 Peter 2
1 So give up all the evil things that you do: all your dishonesty, hypocrisy, and jealousy, all the ways you speak badly about others.
Zatorej dajte na stran vso zlobnost in vso zvijačo in hinavščine in nevoščljivosti in vsa hudobna govorjenja,
2 You should become like newborn babies who only want pure spiritual milk, so you can grow in salvation
kot novorojeni otročiči si želite pristnega mleka besede, da boste s tem lahko rastli;
3 now you've tasted how good the Lord really is.
če je tako, ste okusili, da je Gospod milostljiv.
4 As you come to him—the living stone that people rejected as useless, but is chosen by God and precious to him—
H kateremu prihajajte kakor k živemu kamnu, zares zavrnjenemu od ljudi, toda od Boga izbranemu in dragocenemu.
5 you also become like living stones, being built into a spiritual house. You are a holy priesthood that offers spiritual sacrifices that God welcomes 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 As Scripture says, “See! I'm setting in Zion its main cornerstone, specially-chosen and valuable. Whoever trusts in him will not be disappointed.”
Zatorej je tudi vsebovano v pismu: »Glej, na Sionu položim glavni vogalni kamen, izvoljen, dragocen, in kdor veruje vanj, ne bo zbegan.«
7 He is very valuable to you who do trust. But for those who don't, “The stone the builders rejected that became the main cornerstone”
Vam torej, ki verujete, je dragocen; toda tem, ki so neposlušni, je kamen, ki so ga graditelji zavrnili, ta isti postal glava vogalu
8 is “The stone that trips you up and the rock that makes you fall.” People stumble over this message because they refuse to accept it—which for them is entirely predictable.
in kamen spotike in skala pohujšanja, celó tem, ki se spotikajo ob besedo, ki so neposlušni; za kar so bili tudi določeni.
9 In complete contrast, you are a specially-chosen family, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God. Consequently you can reveal the wonderful things he's done, calling 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 In the past you were nobodies, but now you are God's people. In the past you hadn't received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
ki v preteklem času niste bili ljudstvo, toda sedaj ste Božje ljudstvo; ki niste dosegli usmiljenja, toda sedaj ste usmiljenje dosegli.
11 My friends, I'm pleading with you as foreigners and strangers in this world not to give in to physical desires that are in conflict with what is spiritual.
Srčno ljubljeni, rotim vas kot tujce in romarje; vzdržite se pred mesenimi poželenji, ki se bojujejo zoper dušo;
12 Be sure to act appropriately when you're with non-Christians, so even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see the good things you do and glorify God when he comes.
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 Obey human authority for the Lord's sake, whether it is the king as the highest authority,
Zaradi Gospoda se podredite vsaki človeški odredbi; bodisi je to kralj, kot najvišji,
14 or governors that God appoints to punish those who do evil and to commend those who do good.
bodisi voditeljem, kot tistim, ki so po njem poslani za kaznovanje hudodelcev in za hvalo teh, ki delajo dobro.
15 By doing what is good and right God wants you to silence the ignorant accusations of foolish people.
Kajti taka je Božja volja, da boste s počenjanjem dobrega lahko utišali nevednost nespametnih ljudi.
16 Yes, you are free people! So don't use your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but live as God's servants.
Kot svobodni, pa svoje svobode ne uporabljajte za ogrinjalo zlonamernosti, temveč kakor Božji služabniki.
17 Respect everyone. Show your love to the community of believers. Have reverence for God. Respect the king.
Spoštujte vse ljudi. Ljubite bratstvo. Bojte se Boga. Spoštujte kralja.
18 If you are a servant then submit to your master—not just those who are good and kind, but those who are harsh masters as well.
Služabniki, z vsem strahom bodite podrejeni svojim gospodarjem; ne samo dobrim in blagim, temveč tudi osornim.
19 For this is what grace is: to endure life's pain and unfair suffering, keeping your focus on God.
Kajti vredno hvale je to, če človek, ki krivično trpi zaradi zavedanja pred Bogom, prenaša žalost.
20 However, there's no credit when you're punished for doing something wrong. But if you suffer for doing what is good and right, and you put up with it, then God's grace is with you.
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 In fact this is what you were called to do, because Christ suffered for you and gave you an example, so you should follow in 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 He never sinned, he never lied;
ki ni storil greha niti v njegovih ustih ni bilo najti zvijače;
23 and when he was badly treated, he didn't retaliate. When he suffered, he didn't threaten to take revenge. He simply placed himself in the hands of the one who always judges rightly.
ki ni ponovno zasramoval, ko je bil zasramovan; ko je trpel, ni grozil; temveč je sebe izročil njemu, ki sodi pravično;
24 He took the consequences of our sins on himself in his body on the cross, so that we could die to sin and live rightly. “By his wounds you are 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 At one time you were like sheep who had lost their way, but now you've returned to the Shepherd—the one who watches over you.
Kajti bili ste kakor ovce, ki so zašle, toda sedaj ste vrnjeni k Pastirju in duhovnemu Nadzorniku svojih duš.
