1 Peter 3
1 LIKEWISE, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, even if some obey not the word, by their wives’ conduct without the word, they may be won over;
A tako i vi žene budite pokorne svojijem muževima, da ako koji i ne vjeruju rijeèi ženskijem življenjem bez rijeèi da se dobiju,
2 being eye-witnesses of your chaste behaviour with timidity.
Kad vide èisto življenje vaše sa strahom;
3 Whose adorning let it not be that exterior one of braided locks, and golden trimmings, and dresses put on with nicety;
Vaša ljepota da ne bude spolja u pletenju kose, i u udaranju zlata, i oblaèenju haljina;
4 but let it be the hidden man of the heart, with that incorruptible ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God highly valuable.
Nego u tajnome èovjeku srca, u jednakosti krotkoga i tihoga duha, što je pred Bogom mnogocjeno.
5 For so in times of old the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands;
Jer se tako nekad ukrašavahu i svete žene, koje se uzdahu u Boga i pokoravahu se svojijem muževima,
6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye are, if ye do well, and are not affrighted with any terror.
Kao što Sara slušaše Avraama, i zvaše ga gospodarom; koje ste vi kæeri postale, ako èinite dobro, i ne bojite se nikakvoga straha.
7 Ye husbands, in like manner dwell with them discreetly, putting respect on the dear woman as being the weaker vessel, and as co-heirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers may meet no interruption.
Tako i vi muževi živite sa svojijem ženama po razumu, i poštujte ih kao slabiji ženski sud, i kao sunašljednice blagodati života, da se ne smetu molitve vaše.
8 Finally, be all like-minded, sympathizing, loving fraternally, compassionate, friendly hearted,
A najposlije budite svi složni, žalostivi, bratoljubivi, milostivi, ponizni;
9 not returning evil for evil, or railing for railing; but, contrariwise, wishing men every blessing; knowing that hereunto ye have been called, that ye should inherit the divine benediction.
Ne vraæajte zla za zlo, ni psovke za psovku; nego nasuprot blagosiljajte, znajuæi da ste na to pozvani da naslijedite blagoslov.
10 “For he that would love life, and see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking guile.
Jer koji je rad da živi i da vidi dane dobre, neka zadrži jezik svoj od zla, i usne svoje, da ne govore prijevare;
11 Let him depart from every wicked thing, and do good; let him seek peace, and pursue it.”
Neka se ukloni od zla, i neka uèini dobro; neka traži mira i neka se drži njega.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are upon the just, and his ears open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against those who practise wicked things.
Jer oèi Gospodnje gledaju na pravednike, i uši njegove na molitvu njihovu; a lice Gospodnje na one koji zlo èine da ih istrijebi sa zemlje.
13 And who will do you harm if ye be imitators of him that is good?
I ko može vama nauditi ako uzidete za dobrom?
14 But if ye should even suffer for righteousness, blessed are ye: be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled,
Nego ako i stradate pravde radi, blaženi ste. Ali straha njihova ne bojte se, niti se plašite;
15 but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be always ready with your reply to every man who demands a reason respecting the hope which is in you with meekness and fear:
Nego Gospoda Boga svetite u srcima svojijem. A budite svagda gotovi na odgovor svakome koji vas zapita za vaše nadanje.
16 keeping a good conscience; that whereas they malign you, as evil doers, they may be confounded who take pleasure in ridiculing your good conduct in Christ.
S krotošæu i strahom imajte dobru savjest; da ako vas opadaju za što kao zloèince da se postide oni što kude vaše dobro življenje po Hristu.
17 For it is better (if it be God’s will) to suffer as well doers than as evil doers.
Jer je bolje, ako hoæe volja Božija, da stradate dobro èineæi, negoli zlo èineæi.
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, put to death indeed in the flesh, but raised to life by the Spirit:
Jer i Hristos jedanput za grijehe naše postrada, pravednik za nepravednike, da nas privede k Bogu, ubijen, istina, bivši tijelom, no oživljevši Duhom;
19 by which also he went and preached to those spirits imprisoned;
Kojijem sišavši propovijeda i duhovima koji su u tamnici,
20 who in time of old were disobedient, when the long suffering of God in the days of Noe waited, while the ark was preparing, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were preserved through the water.
Koji nekad ne htješe da slušaju kad ih oèekivaše Božije trpljenje u vrijeme Nojevo, kad se graðaše kovèeg, u kome malo, to jest osam duša, ostade od vode.
21 The antitype to which baptism now saveth us (not the mere removal of filth from the flesh, but the engagement of a good conscience to God), by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
Za spomen toga i nas sad spasava krštenje, ali ne pranje tjelesne neèistote, nego obeæanje dobre savjesti Bogu, vaskrsenijem Isusa Hrista.
22 who is at the right hand of God, gone into heaven, angels and dominations and powers being put in subjection under him.
Koji je s desne strane Bogu, otišavši na nebo, i slušaju ga anðeli i vlasti i sile.
