1 Peter 3
1 In like manner, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any do not obey the word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word;
Ligesaa, I Hustruer! underordner eder under eders egne Mænd, for at, selv om nogle ere genstridige imod Ordet, de kunne vindes uden Ord ved Hustruernes Vandel,
2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.
naar de iagttage eders kyske Vandel i Frygt.
3 Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing;
Eders Prydelse skal ikke være den udvortes med Haarfletning og paahængte Guldsmykker eller Klædedragt,
4 but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious.
men Hjertets skjulte Menneske med den sagtmodige og stille Aands uforkrænkelige Prydelse, hvilket er meget kosteligt for Gud.
5 For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
Thi saaledes var det ogsaa, at fordum de hellige Kvinder, som haabede paa Gud, prydede sig, idet de underordnede sig under deres egne Mænd,
6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.
som Sara var Abraham lydig, hun kaldte ham Herre, hun, hvis Børn I ere blevne, naar I gøre det gode og ikke frygte nogen Rædsel.
7 You husbands, in like manner, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered.
Ligesaa I Mænd! lever med Forstand sammen med eders Hustruer som med et svagere Kar, og beviser dem Ære som dem, der ogsaa ere Medarvinger til Livets Naadegave, for at eders Bønner ikke skulle hindres.
8 Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, humble,
Og til Slutning værer alle enssindede, medlidende, kærlige imod Brødrene, barmhjertige, ydmyge;
9 not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but instead blessing; because to this were you called, that you may inherit a blessing.
betaler ikke ondt med ondt, eller Skældsord med Skældsord, men tværtimod velsigner, thi dertil bleve I kaldede, at I skulle arve Velsignelse.
10 For, "He who would love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.
Thi „den, som vil elske Livet og se gode Dage, skal holde sin Tunge fra ondt og sine Læber fra at tale Svig;
11 Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
han vende sig fra ondt og gøre godt; han søge Fred og jage efter den!
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
Thi Herrens Øjne ere over de retfærdige, og hans Øren til deres Bøn; men Herrens Ansigt er over dem, som gøre ondt.‟
13 Now who is he who will harm you, if you become zealous of that which is good?
Og hvem er der, som kan volde eder ondt, dersom I ere nidkære for det gode?
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not fear what they fear, nor be troubled."
Men om I ogsaa maatte lide for Retfærdigheds Skyld, ere I salige. Nærer ingen Frygt for dem, og forfærdes ikke;
15 But sanctify in your hearts Messiah as Lord; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with humility and fear:
men helliger den Herre Kristus i eders Hjerter, altid rede til at forsvare eder over for enhver, som kræver eder til Regnskab for det Haab, der er i eder, men med Sagtmodighed og Frygt,
16 having a good conscience; so that when they speak evil against you, they may be put to shame who slander your good manner of life in Messiah.
idet I have en god Samvittighed, for at de, der laste eders gode Vandel i Kristus, maa blive til Skamme, naar de bagtale eder som Ugerningsmænd.
17 For it is better, if it is God's will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.
Thi det er bedre, om det saa er Guds Villie, at lide, naar man gør godt, end naar man gør ondt.
18 Because Messiah also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;
Thi ogsaa Kristus led een Gang for Synder, en retfærdig for uretfærdige, for at han kunde føre os hen til Gud, han, som led Døden i Kødet, men blev levendegjort i Aanden,
19 in which he also went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison,
i hvilken han ogsaa gik hen og prædikede for Aanderne, som vare i Forvaring,
20 who before were disobedient, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, while the box-shaped ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved by means of water.
som fordum vare genstridige, dengang Guds Langmodighed ventede i Noas Dage, medens Arken byggedes, i hvilken faa, nemlig otte, Sjæle bleve frelste igennem Vand,
21 This is a symbol of immersion, which now saves you—not the removal of dirt from the body, but an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah,
hvilket nu ogsaa frelser eder i sit Modbillede som Daab, der ikke er Fjernelse af Kødets Urenhed, men en god Samvittigheds Pagt med Gud ved Jesu Kristi Opstandelse,
22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
han, som er faren til Himmelen og er ved Guds højre Haand, efter at Engle og Myndigheder og Kræfter ere ham underlagte.
