1 Peter 1
1 I, Peter, who [have been appointed by] Jesus Christ {one whom Jesus Christ [has appointed]} to be an apostle, [am writing this letter] to you believers whom God has chosen to belong to him. [You are living] in [the Roman provinces of] Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia. [Just like the Jews who lived in Israel long ago were] scattered [to other countries far from their homes] [MET], you now live [far from] heaven, which is [your true home].
Pedro, apostolo de Jesus Christo, aos estrangeiros dispersos no Ponto, Galacia, Cappadocia, Asia e Bithynia;
2 God our Father previously chose you, and his Spirit has set you apart in order that you would obey Jesus Christ. He did that in order that [just like Moses] sprinkled [the Israelites with blood when God established the old covenant] [MET], [Jesus would establish his new covenant with you] with the blood [that flowed from his body when he died]. May God act very kindly to you, and may he give you much [inner] peace.
Eleitos segundo a presciencia de Deus Pae, em sanctificação do Espirito, para a obediencia e aspersão do sangue de Jesus Christo: graça e paz vos seja multiplicada.
3 Praise God, who is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! Because he has been very merciful to [us, he has given us new life] [MET]. Because he has caused Jesus Christ to become alive again after he died, he has enabled us to live very confidently; that is, to fully expect to receive the things [that God/he has promised to give us].
Bemdito seja o Deus e Pae de nosso Senhor Jesus Christo, que, segundo a sua grande misericordia, nos gerou de novo para uma viva esperança, pela resurreição de Jesus Christo d'entre os mortos,
4 He has enabled us to expect to receive an absolutely imperishable/indestructible [TRI] inheritance that has been {that [God] has} preserved in heaven for us.
Para herança incorruptivel, incontaminavel, e que se não pode murchar, guardada nos céus para vós,
5 God, by his mighty power, is guarding you as you trust in Jesus. [He is keeping you safe so] that he may, at the end of the time in which we now live (OR, when Jesus returns), completely deliver you [from Satan’s power].
Que pela fé estaes guardados na virtude de Deus para a salvação, já prestes para se revelar no ultimo tempo.
6 You rejoice because of what will happen then, but now you are grieving for a short time while [God is allowing] you to be tested {[various things to] test you [MET]}, [as precious metals are tested] {[someone tests precious metals]} [to see if they are pure]. [These trials that you are experiencing are necessary]
Em que vós vos alegraes, estando agora (se é que assim importa) por um pouco contristados com varias tentações.
7 to prove that you really do trust in Jesus. His proving that will be more valuable than gold, [which does not last forever even] though it is purified [by being put] {someone tries to make it pure by [putting it]} [in a hot] fire. As a result of your passing the test [and proving that you really do trust in Jesus], God will honor you very highly [TRI] when Jesus Christ comes again.
Para que a prova da vossa fé, muito mais preciosa do que o oiro que perece e é provado pelo fogo, se ache em louvor, e honra, e gloria, na revelação de Jesus Christo:
8 You love [Jesus], although you have not seen him. Although you do not see him now, you rejoice very much [DOU]
Ao qual, não havendo visto, o amaes; no qual, não o vendo agora, porém crendo, vos alegraes com gozo ineffavel e glorioso;
9 because you are experiencing the result of your believing in him; that is, [God] is saving you [SYN] [from the guilt of your sins].
Alcançando o fim da vossa fé, a salvação das almas.
10 As for those who [long ago] spoke messages that God had revealed to them about how God would act kindly toward you in ways which you did not deserve, they (investigated very carefully/tried very hard to learn) [DOU] about how God would save you.
Da qual salvação inquiriram e examinaram os prophetas que prophetizaram da graça que vos foi dada:
11 They wanted to know whom the Spirit of Christ that was in them was referring to, and what time he was talking about, when he told beforehand that the Messiah would suffer [and die], and that glorious/wonderful things would happen [to him and to us] afterwards.
Indagando que tempo ou que maneira de tempo, o Espirito de Christo, que estava n'elles, indicava, anteriormente testificando os soffrimentos que a Christo haviam de vir, e a gloria que se lhes havia de seguir.
12 It was revealed to {[God] told} them that it was not for their own sake that he was revealing these things to them, but that it was for your sake. It was these things that were proclaimed to you by those who told you the message [about Christ {that those who told you the message about Christ proclaimed to you]}. They proclaimed these things to you because the Holy Spirit whom [God] sent from heaven [enabled them to do that]. And even angels would like to know more about these [truths about how God saves us].
Aos quaes foi revelado que, não para si mesmos, mas para nós, ministravam estas coisas que agora vos foram annunciadas por aquelles que, pelo Espirito Sancto enviado do céu, vos prégaram o evangelho: para as quaes coisas os anjos desejam bem attentar.
13 Therefore, [prepare your minds] [MET] [as people] fasten their belts around their waists [to prepare to work]. [What I mean is that] you should (discipline your minds/control what you think about), and by doing that conduct your lives fully and confidently expecting to receive the good things that [God will] kindly [do for you] when Jesus Christ returns [from heaven].
Portanto, cingindo os lombos do vosso entendimento, e sobrios, esperae inteiramente na graça que se vos offereceu na revelação de Jesus Christo;
14 [And because you should obey your heavenly Father] [SIM], as children [ought to] obey their fathers [here on earth], do not do the evil things that you used to desire to do when you did not know [God’s truth].
Como filhos obedientes, não vos conformando com as concupiscencias que d'antes havia em vossa ignorancia;
15 Instead, just like God, the one who chose you [to belong to him], is (holy/separate from evil), you also must be (holy/separate from evil) in everything that you do,
Mas, como é sancto aquelle que vos chamou, sêde vós tambem sanctos em toda a vossa maneira de viver;
16 because it is {[someone/Moses] has} written [in the Scriptures that God said], “You must be (holy/separate from evil) because I am (holy/separate from evil).”
Porquanto escripto está: Sêde sanctos, porque eu sou sancto.
17 God is the one who (impartially/without favoritism) judges what each person does. Since you call him ‘Father’, live (reverently/with great respect for him) during the time that you are living here on earth. [While you are living here, you are] like exiles/foreigners [MET] [because you are away from heaven, which is your true home].
E, se invocaes por Pae aquelle que, sem accepção de pessoas, julga segundo a obra de cada um, andae em temor, durante o tempo da vossa peregrinação:
18 [Live reverently] because you know that it was not with things that will not last forever, things like gold and silver, that [God] bought you to free you from your useless life-style that you learned from your ancestors.
Sabendo que não com coisas corruptiveis, como prata ou oiro, fostes resgatados da vossa vã maneira de viver que por tradição recebestes dos paes,
19 Instead, [it was] with the precious blood of Christ [that flowed from his body when he died that God bought you. Christ’s death was a perfect sacrifice for us] [MET], [like] the lambs that [the Jewish priests sacrificed were] perfect, without any blemishes/defects/flaws or spots [DOU].
Mas com o precioso sangue de Christo, como de um cordeiro immaculado e incontaminado,
20 Christ was chosen [by God] {[God] chose Christ} before the world was created {[he] created the world}. But it was not until now, when the time [in which we are living will soon] end, that he was revealed for your sake.
O qual, na verdade, já d'antes foi conhecido ainda antes da fundação do mundo, porém manifestado n'estes ultimos tempos por amor de vós
21 Because of what Christ has done, you are trusting in God, who caused Christ to become alive again after he died, and greatly honored him. As a result, God is the one in whom you are trusting and confidently expecting [that he will do great things for you].
Que por elle crêdes em Deus, o qual o resuscitou dos mortos, e lhe deu gloria, para que a vossa fé e esperança estivessem em Deus;
22 Because you have been made pure by obeying the truth, with the result that you sincerely love your fellow believers, continue to love each other earnestly and sincerely/wholeheartedly.
Purificando as vossas almas na obediencia da verdade, pelo Espirito, para caridade fraternal, não fingida; amae-vos ardentemente uns aos outros com um coração puro;
23 [I ask you to do this, because you now have] a new life [MET]. It was not [by means of] something that will perish that you received this new life. Instead, it was [by means of] something that will last forever; that is, by believing the life-giving and enduring message of God. (aiōn g165)
Sendo de novo gerados, não de semente corruptivel, mas da incorruptivel, pela palavra de Deus, viva, e que permanece para sempre. (aiōn g165)
24 [We know that this is true] because, [as the prophet Isaiah wrote], All people [will die] [SIM], like grass [dies]. And all the greatness/honor that people have [will not last forever], like the flowers [SIM] [that grow up] in the grass [do not last long]. The grass withers and the flowers die,
Porque toda a carne é como herva, e toda a gloria do homem como a flôr da herva. Seccou-se a herva, e caiu a sua flôr:
