1 Peter 2
1 Therefore, do not act maliciously in any way or deceive others. Do not (be a hypocrite/try to make others think that you have qualities that you do not really have), and do not (envy/be jealous of) others. Do not ever slander anyone.
Formetinte do ĉian malbonon kaj ĉian trompon kaj hipokritecon kaj enviojn kaj ĉiajn kalumniojn,
2 Just like newborn babies [long for their mothers’] pure milk [MET], you should long for [God’s] spiritual [truth], so that by learning it you may become [spiritually] mature. [You need to] do this until the day when God [will] free you completely [from all the evil in this world].
kiel ĵusnaskitaj suĉinfanoj, sopiru al la spirita lakto pura, por ke vi per tio kresku en savon,
3 [Also, you need to do this] because you have experienced that the Lord [acts in] a good way toward you.
se vi gustumis, ke la Sinjoro estas bona;
4 You have come to the Lord Jesus. He is [like an important] stone [MET] [put in the foundation of a building], [but he is] alive, [not lifeless like a stone]. He was rejected by [many] people {[Many] people rejected him}, but God chose him and [considers him] to be very precious.
al kiu alvenante, kvazaŭ al ŝtono vivanta, de homoj rifuzita, sed ĉe Dio elektita, honorinda,
5 [And like men] build houses with stones [MET], [God] is causing you to be joined together into a group in which [God’s] Spirit [lives], in order that you, because of what Jesus Christ did for us, might, like priests who offer sacrifices, [do things] that are pleasing to God.
vi ankaŭ, kiel ŝtonoj vivantaj, konstruiĝas domo spirita, sankta pastraro, por oferi spiritajn oferojn, akcepteblajn de Dio per Jesuo Kristo.
6 [What Isaiah wrote] in the Scriptures [shows us that this is true]. [He wrote these words that God said]: Note this well: I am placing in Jerusalem [MTY] [one who is like] [MET] an extremely valuable [DOU] (stone/cornerstone, the most important stone in the structure of a building), and those who believe in him will never be disappointed.
Ĉar estas enhavate en skribo: Jen Mi kuŝigas en Cion bazangulan ŝtonon, elektitan, valoregan; Kaj kiu lin fidas, tiu ne estos hontigita.
7 Therefore, [God will] honor you who believe in [Jesus]. But those who [refuse to] believe in him [are like the builders] that this Scripture [talks about]: The stone that the builders rejected has become (the cornerstone/the most important stone in the foundation of the building).
Por vi do, la fidantoj, estas la valoregeco; sed por nefidantoj: Ŝtono, kiun malŝatis la konstruantoj, Fariĝis ŝtono bazangula;
8 And [it is also written] {[Isaiah wrote]} in the Scriptures: [He will be like] a stone that causes people to stumble, like a rock that people trip over. [Just as people are injured when] they stumble over a rock, people who disobey the message [about Jesus are injured spiritually], and that is what [God] determined would happen to them.
kaj: Ŝtono de falpuŝiĝo kaj roko de alfrapiĝo; ili falpuŝiĝas pro la vorto, malobeante, por kio ankaŭ ili estas difinitaj.
9 But you are people whom God has chosen [to belong to him]. You are [a group that represents God like] priests do, and you rule with God [MET] like kings. You are (a holy group of people/a group of people who are separate from evil). You are people who belong to God. This is in order that you might proclaim the virtues of [God. He has] called you from [your former ways], [when you were ignorant of his truth], into the marvelous [understanding that he gives us] [MET]. [That is, he has called you] out of [spiritual] darkness into [spiritual] light.
Sed vi estas raso elektita, pastraro reĝa, nacio sankta, popolo Diposedata, por ke vi proklamu la gloron de Tiu, kiu vokis vin el mallumo en Sian lumon mirindan;
10 [What the prophet Hosea wrote is true of you] Formerly, you were not a people [who had a relationship with God], But now you are God’s people. At one time [God] had not acted mercifully toward you, But now he has acted mercifully toward you.
kiuj iam estis ne-popolo, sed nun estas popolo de Dio; antaŭe nekompatitoj, sed nun kompatitoj.
11 You people whom I love, I urge you to consider that you are like foreigners [MET, DOU] [whose real home is in heaven]. As a result, avoid doing the things that your self-directed nature desires, because those desires (fight against/always oppose) your souls.
Amataj, mi petegas vin kiel fremdulojn kaj migrantojn, detenu vin de karnaj voluptoj, kiuj militadas kontraŭ la animo;
12 Keep conducting your lives in a good way among those who do not know God. [If you do that], although they may accuse you, saying that you are people who do evil things, they will see your good behavior, and at the time when God comes [to judge people], they will (give honor to him/say that what he does is right).
kondutante dece ĉe la nacianoj, por ke, kvankam ili kalumnias vin kiel malbonagulojn, tamen, vidante viajn bonfarojn, ili gloru Dion en la tago de vizitado.
13 For the sake of the Lord [Jesus], submit yourselves to every human authority. That includes submitting yourselves to the king, who is the most important authority,
Submetu vin al ĉiu homa institucio pro la Sinjoro; ĉu al la reĝo, la superreganto;
14 and to governors, who are sent by the king {whom the king sends} to punish those who do what is wrong and to commend/honor those who do what is right.
ĉu al regantoj, kiel liaj senditoj por venĝo al malbonaguloj kaj por laŭdo al bonaguloj.
15 What God wants is that by your doing [only] what is good you will cause foolish people who do not know [God] to be unable to say things ([to condemn you/to show you why you should be punished]).
Ĉar la volo de Dio estas, ke bonfarante, vi silentigu la nesciadon de homoj malsaĝaj;
16 Conduct your lives as though you were free [from having to obey authorities], but do not think “Because I am free from having to obey authorities, I can do evil things.” Instead, act as servants of God [should].
kiel liberaj, kaj ne farantaj el via libereco kovrilon de malico, sed kiel servistoj de Dio.
17 Act respectfully toward everyone. Love all your fellow believers. Revere God, and honor the king.
Ĉiujn honoru. La frataron amu. Dion timu. La reĝon honoru.
18 You slaves [who are believers], submit yourselves to your masters and completely respect them. Submit yourselves not only to those who [act in a] good and kind [DOU] way towards you, but also submit yourselves to those who [act in a] harsh way [towards you].
Servantoj, submetu vin al viaj sinjoroj kun ĉia timo; ne sole al la bonaj kaj malseveraj, sed ankaŭ al la malbonhumoraj.
19 You should do that because God is pleased with those who, knowing that he is aware of what is happening to them, endure the pain that they suffer [because of being treated unjustly by their masters] {[their masters have treated them unjustly]}.
Ĉar tio estas laŭdinda, se pro konscienco al Dio oni elportas malĝojon, suferante maljuste.
20 God will certainly not [RHQ] be pleased with you if you do something that is wrong and as a result you are beaten {someone beats you}! But if, instead of doing something that is wrong, you do what is good, and as a result of that, you suffer for doing something that is good, and you endure that suffering, God will (commend/be pleased with) you.
Ĉar kia honoro estas, se, pekante kaj sekve batate, vi tion pacience elportas? sed se, bonfarante kaj sekve suferante, vi tion pacience elportas, tio estas laŭdinda antaŭ Dio.
21 One of the reasons why God chose you is that you would [suffer]. When Christ suffered for you, he became an example for you, in order that you would (imitate what/do like) he did.
Ĉar al ĉi tio vi estas vokitaj; pro tio, ke Kristo ankaŭ suferis pro vi, postlasante por vi ekzemplon, por ke vi sekvu liajn postesignojn;
22 [Remember how Christ conducted himself]: He never sinned, And he never said [MTY] anything to deceive people.
pekon li ne faris, kaj trompo ne troviĝis en lia buŝo;
23 When people insulted him, he did not insult them in return. When people caused him to suffer, he did not threaten (to get revenge/to cause them to suffer). Instead, he decided to let God, who always judges justly, prove that he (was innocent/had done nothing that is wrong) (OR, he left his case in the hands of God, who always judges justly).
insultate, li ne insultis responde; suferante, li ne minacis, sed submetis sin al la juste juĝanta;
24 He himself endured physically the punishment for our sins when he died on the cross, in order that we would stop sinning (OR, no longer respond to sinful desires) and start living righteous lives. It is because he was wounded {they wounded him} that your [souls have been saved] [MET] [from being sinful, as people’s bodies] are healed [from being sick].
li mem portis niajn pekojn en sia korpo sur la lignaĵo, por ke ni, malvivigite koncerne pekojn, vivu por justeco; per lia vundo vi resaniĝis.
25 Truly you were like sheep that had gone astray [SIM], but now you have returned to [Jesus], who cares for your souls [as] a shepherd [cares for his sheep] [MET].
Ĉar vi estis kiel ŝafoj erarvagantaj; sed nun vi returne venis al la Paŝtisto kaj Episkopo de viaj animoj.
