1 Peter 4
1 Therefore, since Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same mentality, because whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
Kad dakle Hristos postrada za nas tijelom, i vi se tom misli naoružajte: jer koji postrada tijelom, prestaje od grijeha,
2 so as to live his remaining time in the flesh no longer for the evil desires of men, but for the will of God.
Da ostalo vrijeme života u tijelu ne živi više željama èovjeèijim, nego volji Božijoj.
3 For we have spent enough of our lives doing what the Gentiles like to do, walking in sensual indulgences, evil desires, excesses of wine, revelries, drinking bouts, and illicit idolatries.
Jer je dosta što smo prošavše vrijeme života proveli po volji neznabožaèkoj, živeæi u neèistotama, u slastima, u pijanstvu, u žderanju, u pijenju i bogomrskijem neznaboštvima.
4 They are surprised when you do not run with them into the same flood of debauchery, so they revile you.
Zato se èude što vi ne trèite s njima u to isto neuredno življenje, i hule na vas.
5 But they will give an account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
Oni æe dati odgovor onome koji je gotov da sudi živima i mrtvima.
6 For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to the dead, so that, though they have been judged in the flesh as men are, they might live in the spirit as God does.
Zato se i mrtvima propovjedi jevanðelje, da prime sud po èovjeku tijelom a po Bogu da žive duhom.
7 The end of all things has drawn near. Therefore be alert and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.
A svemu se kraj približi. Budite dakle mudri i trijezni u molitvama.
8 Above all, maintain a deep love for one another, because love will cover a multitude of sins.
A prije svega imajte neprestanu ljubav meðu sobom; jer ljubav pokriva mnoštvo grijeha.
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
Budite gostoljubivi meðu sobom bez mrmljanja;
10 As each of you has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
I služite se meðu sobom, svaki darom koji je primio, kao dobri pristavi razliène blagodati Božije.
11 If anyone speaks, he should do so as one who speaks the oracles of God; if anyone serves, he should do so as one who serves from strength as God supplies it, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Ako ko govori, neka govori kao rijeèi Božije; ako ko služi neka služi kao po moæi koju Bog daje: da se u svaèemu slavi Bog kroz Isusa Hrista, kome je slava i država va vijek vijeka. Amin. (aiōn g165)
12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you to test you, as though a strange thing were happening to you.
Ljubazni! ne èudite se vruæini koja vam se dogaða za kušanje vaše, kao da vam se što novo dogaða;
13 But insofar as you share in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, so that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.
Nego se radujte što stradate s Hristom, da biste, i kad se javi slava njegova, imali radost i veselje.
14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
Ako bivate ukoreni za ime Hristovo, blago vama! jer Duh slave i Boga poèiva na vama: oni dakle hule na nj, a vi ga proslavljate.
15 None of you should suffer as a murderer, thief, evildoer, or meddler,
Samo da ne postrada koji od vas kao krvnik, ili kao lupež, ili kao zloèinac, ili kao onaj koji se miješa u tuðe poslove;
16 but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he should not be ashamed, but should glorify God in this matter.
A ako li kao hrišæanin, neka se ne stidi, veæ neka slavi Boga u ovom dogaðaju.
17 For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God, and if it begins first with us, what will be the outcome for those who are disobedient to the gospel of God?
Jer je vrijeme da se poène sud od kuæe Božije; ako li se najprije od vas poène, kakav æe biti pošljedak onima što se protive Božijemu jevanðelju?
18 And, “If the righteous man is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly man and sinner?”
I kad se pravednik jedva spase, bezbožnik i grješnik gdje æe se javiti?
19 Therefore, those who suffer according to the will of God should entrust their souls to him as their faithful Creator while doing what is good.
Zato i koji stradaju po volji Božijoj neka mu kao vjernome tvorcu predadu duše svoje u dobrijem djelima.
