1 Peter 4
1 Christ, then, having suffered for us in the flesh, you also arm yourselves with the same mind, because he who suffered in the flesh has finished [with] sin,
Dakle, budući da je Krist trpio u tijelu, i vi se oboružajte istim mišljenjem - jer tko trpi u tijelu okanio se grijeha -
2 no longer in the desires of men, but in the will of God, to live the rest of the time in the flesh;
da vrijeme što vam u tijelu još preostaje proživite ne više po ljudskim požudama nego po Božjoj volji.
3 for the time has sufficiently passed to have carried out the will of the nations, having walked in licentiousness, lusts, excesses of wines, revelings, drinking-bouts, and unlawful idolatries,
Dosta je uistinu što ste u prošlom vremenu vršili volju pogana, hodeći u razvratnostima, požudama, pijančevanjima, pijankama, opijanjima i bezakoničkim idolopoklonstvima.
4 in which they think it strange—your not running with them to the same excess of wastefulness, slandering [you]—
Stoga se čude što se ne slijevate u tu istu rijeku raskalašenosti te proklinju.
5 who will give an account to Him who is ready to judge [the] living and [the] dead,
Polagat će oni račun Onomu tko je već spreman suditi žive i mrtve.
6 for this also was good news proclaimed to dead men, that they may be judged, indeed, according to men in the flesh, but may live according to God in the Spirit.
Zato je i mrtvima naviješteno evanđelje da osuđeni doduše po ljudsku, u tijelu, žive po Božju - u duhu.
7 Now the end of all things has come near; be sober-minded, then, and be sober in [your] prayers.
Približio se svršetak svega! Osvijestite se i otrijeznite za molitvu!
8 Before all things, having earnest love among yourselves, because love covers a multitude of sins;
Prije svega imajte žarku ljubav jedni prema drugima jer ljubav pokriva mnoštvo grijeha!
9 [be] hospitable to one another, without murmuring;
Gostoljubivo primajte jedni druge bez mrmljanja!
10 each [one], according as he received a gift, ministering it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;
Jedni druge poslužujte - svatko po primljenom daru - kao dobri upravitelji različitih Božjih milosti!
11 if anyone speaks, [speak] as oracles of God; if anyone ministers, [minister] as of the strength which God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the power through the ages of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Govori li tko? Neka govori kao riječi Božje! Poslužuje li tko? Neka poslužuje kao snagom koju daje Bog da se u svemu slavi Bog po Isusu Kristu, komu slava i vlast u vijeke vijekova! Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Beloved, do not think it strange at the fiery suffering among you that is coming to try you, as if a strange thing were happening to you,
Ljubljeni! Ne čudite se požaru što bukti među vama da vas iskuša, kao da vam se događa štogod neobično!
13 but according as you have fellowship with the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice, that you may also rejoice in the revelation of His glory—exulting;
Naprotiv, radujte se kao zajedničari Kristovih patnja da i o Objavljenju njegove slave mognete radosno klicati.
14 if you are reproached in the Name of Christ—[you are] blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you; in regard, indeed, to them, is evil spoken of Him, and in regard to you, He is glorified;
Pogrđuju li vas zbog imena Kristova, blago vama, jer Duh Slave, Duh Božji u vama počiva.
15 for let none of you suffer as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or as a meddler into other men’s matters;
Tek neka nitko od vas ne trpi kao ubojica, ili kradljivac, ili zločinac, ili makar i kao nametljivac;
16 and if as a Christian, do not let him be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this respect;
ako li kao kršćanin, neka se ne stidi, nego slavi Boga zbog tog imena.
17 because it is the time of the judgment to have begun from the house of God, and if first from us, what [is] the end of those disobedient to the good news of God?
Ta vrijeme je da započne Sud - od doma Božjega. No ako već od vas započinje, kakav je onda svršetak onih što nisu poslušni Božjem evanđelju?
18 And if the righteous man is scarcely saved, where will the ungodly and sinner appear?
I ako se pravednik jedva spasava, opak i grešnik gdje da se pojavi?
19 So that those also suffering according to the will of God, as to a steadfast Creator, let them commit their own souls in doing good.
Stoga oni koji po volji Božjoj trpe, neka dobrim djelima povjere duše svoje vjernom Stvoritelju.
