1 Peetruse 1
1 Peetruselt, Jeesuse Kristuse apostlilt, Jumala valituile, kes elavad laialipillutatult Pontoses, Galaatias, Kappadookias, Aasias ja Bitüünias ning on kutsutud
To the people of God who are living abroad, dispersed throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Roman Asia, and Bithynia,
2 Jumala Isa etteteadmise järgi Vaimu pühitsuse läbi olema kuulekad ja Jeesuse Kristuse verega piserdatud: Armu ja rahu saagu teile rohkesti!
and who were chosen in accordance with the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the consecration of the Spirit, to learn obedience, and to be purified by the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ, from Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ. May blessing and peace be yours in ever increasing measure.
3 Kiidetud olgu Jumal, meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse Isa! Oma suurest halastusest on tema Jeesuse Kristuse ülestõusmise läbi surnuist meid uuesti sünnitanud elavale lootusele,
Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has, in his great mercy, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 et saada hävimatu, määrdumatu ja tuhmumatu pärand, mis on taevas hoitud teie jaoks.
given us the new life of undying hope, that promises an inheritance, imperishable, stainless, unfading, which has been reserved for you in heaven –
5 Seda hoitakse Jumala väes usu läbi teie päästeks, mis on viimsel ajal valmis ilmuma.
for you who, through faith, are being guarded by the power of God, awaiting a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last days.
6 Sellest päästest te juubeldate, ehkki praegu te peate pisut kurvastama mitmesugustes katsumustes.
At the thought of this you are full of exultation, though (if it has been necessary) you have suffered for the moment somewhat from various trials;
7 Isegi kaduvat kulda proovitakse tulega. Teie usk proovitakse samuti läbi, mis on kullast palju kallim, et selle ehtsus oleks ülistuseks, kiituseks ja auks Jeesuse Kristuse ilmumisel.
that the genuineness of your faith – a thing far more precious than gold, which is perishable, yet has to be tested by fire – may win praise and glory and honour at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
8 Teda te armastate, kuigi te ei ole teda näinud. Temasse te usute, ehkki te praegu teda ei näe, ning te juubeldate sõnulseletamatu ja aulise rõõmuga,
Though you have never seen him, yet you love him; though you do not even now see him, yet you believe in him, and exalt with a triumphant happiness too great for words,
9 sest te saavutate oma usu eesmärgi – oma hinge pääste.
as you receive the reward of your faith in the salvation of your souls!
10 Seda päästet on otsinud ja seda püüdnud uurida prohvetid, kes on ennustanud teile osaks saavat armu.
It was this salvation that the prophets, who spoke long ago of the blessing intended for you, sought, and strove to comprehend;
11 Nad püüdsid teada saada, millise aja ja mis asjaolude kohta osutas nendes olev Kristuse Vaim, ennustades ette Messiale määratud kannatusi ja neile järgnevat kirkust.
as they strove to discern what that time could be, to which the Spirit of Christ within them was pointing, when foretelling the sufferings that Christ would have to endure, and the glories that would follow.
12 Neile ilmutati, et nad ei teeninud mitte ennast vaid teid. Seda kõike on teile rääkinud need, kes teile taevast läkitatud Püha Vaimu läbi on kuulutanud evangeeliumi. Isegi inglid ihkavad neid asju vaadata.
And it was revealed to them that it was not for themselves, but for you, that they were acting as Ministers of the truths which have now been told to you, by those who, with the help of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, have brought you the good news – truths into which even angels long to look.
13 Seepärast, käärige üles oma mõistuse käised ja mõtelge kainelt. Lootke armu peale, mida teile pakutakse Jeesuse Kristuse ilmumises.
Therefore concentrate your minds, with the strictest self-control, and fix your hopes on the blessing that is coming for you at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
14 Nõnda nagu sõnakuulelikud lapsed, ärge kohanege himudega, mis teil olid teadmatuses elades,
Be like obedient children; do not let your lives be shaped by the passions which once swayed you in the days of your ignorance,
15 vaid saage pühaks kogu oma olekult, nii nagu teie Kutsuja on püha!
but in your whole life show yourselves to be holy, after the pattern of the Holy One from whom you received your call.
16 Eks öelda ka Pühakirjas: „Olge pühad, sest mina olen püha!“
For scripture says – “You will be holy, because I am holy.”
17 Ja kui te palves hüüate Isaks teda, kes mõistab kohut erapooletult vastavalt igaühe tegudele, siis elage aukartuses oma pagulasepäevad!
And since you call on him as “Father,” who judges everyone impartially by what he has done, let respectful awe be the spirit of your lives during the time of your stay on earth.
18 Te ju teate, et teid ei ole lunastatud kaduvate asjadega, hõbeda või kullaga teie tühisest esivanematelt päritud eluviisist,
For you know that it was not by perishable things, such as silver and gold, that you were ransomed from the aimless way of living which was handed down to you from your ancestors,
19 vaid Kristuse kui veatu ja laitmatu Talle kalli verega.
but by precious blood, as it were of a lamb, unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.
20 Tema oli ette määratud enne maailma loomist, ent aegade lõpul sai ilmsiks teie pärast.
Destined for this before the beginning of the world, he has been revealed in these last days for your sakes,
21 Tema läbi te usute Jumalat, kes on tema üles äratanud surnuist ja andnud talle kirkuse, et teie usk ja lootus oleksid Jumalas.
who, through him, are faithful to God who raised him from the dead and gave him honour, so that your faith and hope are now in God.
22 Kui te olete nüüd tõele kuuletumises ennast puhastanud siiraks armastuseks üksteise vastu, siis armastage üksteist sügavalt ja puhtast südamest!
Now that, by your obedience to the truth, you have purified your lives, so that there is growing up among you a genuine affection, love one another earnestly with all your hearts;
23 Te olete uuesti sündinud mitte kaduvast, vaid kadumatust seemnest Jumala elava ja jääva sõna kaudu. (aiōn g165)
since your new life has come, not from perishable, but imperishable, seed, through the message of the Everliving God. (aiōn g165)
24 Sest „Kõik inimesed on otsekui rohi, kogu nende hiilgus nagu rohu õieke; rohi kuivab ära ja õieke pudeneb maha;
For – “All earthly life is but as grass, and all its splendour as the flower of grass. The grass fades, its flower falls,
