1 Peter 2
1 WHEREFORE laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
Odloživši torej vso hudobijo in vso zvijačo in licemerstva in zavisti in vsa obrekovanja,
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
Kakor novorojena deteta hrepenite po pametnem, nepokvarjenem mleku,
3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
Da v njem rastete, če ste res okusili, da je blag Gospod.
4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
K njemu pristopivši, kamenu živemu, ki so ga zavrgli ljudje, izvoljen pa je pri Bogu in čislan,
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Bodite tudi vi, kakor živo kamenje zidani, hiša duševna, duhovništvo sveto, da darujete duševne daritve po volji Bogu po Jezusu Kristusu.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
Zato je tudi pisano v pismu: "Glej, na Sijon denem vogelni kamen, izvoljen, čislan, in kdor veruje vanj, ne bode se osramotil."
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
Vam torej čast, verujočim; nepokornim pa "kamen, katerega so zavrgli zidarji, ta je postal za vogelni kamen," in "kamen izpotike in pohujšanja skala;"
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
Kateri se izpotikajo, ker so nepokorni besedi, za kar so bili tudi postavljeni;
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
Vi pa "rod izvoljeni, duhovništvo kraljevo, ljudstvo sveto," ljudstvo za last, da oznanjajte kreposti njega, ki vas je poklical iz temé v čudovito svetlobo svojo;
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Kateri nekdaj ne ljudstvo, sedaj pa ljudstvo Božje; ne pomiloščeni, sedaj pa pomiloščeni.
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
Ljubljeni, opominjam vas kakor tujce in popotnike, da se zdržujete mesnih poželenj, katera se vojskujejo zoper dušo;
12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Vedenje svoje med pogani imejte lepo, da, ker vas obrekujejo kakor hudodelnike, iz dobrih dél, ko jih vidijo, slavé Boga o dnevi obiskanja.
13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
Bodite torej podložni vsaki stvari človeški zavoljo Gospoda; bodi si kralju, kakor najvišjemu;
14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
Bodi si poglavarjem, kakor po njem poslanim v kazen hudodelnikov, a dobrodelnikov hvalo;
15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
Ker tako je volja Božja, da z dobrimi deli zamašujete nespametnih ljudi nevednost;
16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
Kakor svobodni in ne za pokrivalo hudobije imajoč svobodo, nego kakor hlapci Božji.
17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
Vse spoštujte, bratovščino ljubite, Boga se bojte, kralja čestite!
18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
Hlapci, podložni bodite v vsem strahu gospodom, ne samo dobrim in rahlim, nego tudi osornim.
19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
Kajti to je milost, ako kdo iz vestnosti do Boga prenaša težave, po krivem trpeč.
20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
Kaka namreč slava, če bodete trpeli grešeč in zato tepeni? Nego če ste dobro delajoč in trpeč stanovitni, to je milost pri Bogu.
21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
Kajti v to ste bili poklicani, ker je tudi Kristus trpel za vas, zapustivši vam zgled, da hodite po sledovih njegovih;
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
"Kateri ni storil greha, in zvijača se ni našla v ustih njegovih,"
23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
Kateri psovan ni nazaj psoval, trpeč ni pretil, nego prepuščal sodečemu pravično;
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
Kateri je grehe naše sam na telesu svojem nesel na les, da bi grehom odumrli in živeli pravici; "po katerega progi ste bili ozdravljeni."
25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
Bili ste namreč kakor ovce tavajoče, ali povrnili ste se zdaj k pastirju in čuvaju duš vaših.
