1 Peter 4
1 Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
Dakle, budući da je Krist trpio u tijelu, i vi se oboružajte istim mišljenjem - jer tko trpi u tijelu okanio se grijeha -
2 that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for human desires, but for the will of God.
da vrijeme što vam u tijelu još preostaje proživite ne više po ljudskim požudama nego po Božjoj volji.
3 For enough time in the past has been spent doing the will of the unbelievers, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
Dosta je uistinu što ste u prošlom vremenu vršili volju pogana, hodeći u razvratnostima, požudama, pijančevanjima, pijankama, opijanjima i bezakoničkim idolopoklonstvima.
4 They think it is strange that you do not run with them into the same flood of debauchery, blaspheming:
Stoga se čude što se ne slijevate u tu istu rijeku raskalašenosti te proklinju.
5 who will give 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 reason also the Good News was preached to those who are now dead, that they might be judged according to man in the flesh, but might 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 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be serious and disciplined in your prayers.
Približio se svršetak svega! Osvijestite se i otrijeznite za molitvu!
8 Above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for 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 grumbling.
Gostoljubivo primajte jedni druge bez mrmljanja!
10 As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
Jedni druge poslužujte - svatko po primljenom daru - kao dobri upravitelji različitih Božjih milosti!
11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. 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 be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
Ljubljeni! Ne čudite se požaru što bukti među vama da vas iskuša, kao da vam se događa štogod neobično!
13 But because you are partakers of Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
Naprotiv, radujte se kao zajedničari Kristovih patnja da i o Objavljenju njegove slave mognete radosno klicati.
14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part 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 a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler.
Tek neka nitko od vas ne trpi kao ubojica, ili kradljivac, ili zločinac, ili makar i kao nametljivac;
16 But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name.
ako li kao kršćanin, neka se ne stidi, nego slavi Boga zbog tog imena.
17 For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins first with us, what will happen to those who do not obey 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 is delivered with difficulty, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?"
I ako se pravednik jedva spasava, opak i grešnik gdje da se pojavi?
19 Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
Stoga oni koji po volji Božjoj trpe, neka dobrim djelima povjere duše svoje vjernom Stvoritelju.
