1 Peetruse 4
1 Kuna Kristus on kannatanud ihus, relvastuge teiegi sama mõtteviisiga. Sest kes maises ihus on kannatanud, see on lõpetanud tegemast pattu,
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,
2 nii et ta maises elus allesjäänud aega ei ela enam inimlike himude, vaid Jumala tahtmise järgi.
so as to live his remaining time in the flesh no longer for the evil desires of men, but for the will of God.
3 Sest te olete minevikus küllalt kaua aega elanud nõnda nagu paganad, kes Jumalat ei tunne: liiderlikkuses, himudes, purjutamises, orgiates, joomingutes ja tülgastavates ebajumalateenistustes.
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.
4 Just seepärast on nad üllatunud, et te nendega ei ühine sellessamas hoolimatus ja metsikus elus, ja nad teotavad teid.
They are surprised when you do not run with them into the same flood of debauchery, so they revile you.
5 Nad peavad aru andma temale, kes on juba valmis kohut mõistma elavate ja surnute üle.
But they will give an account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6 Just sellepärast on ka surnutele kuulutatud evangeeliumi, et nende üle mõistetaks kohut küll nagu inimeste üle lihas, aga nad elaksid nagu Jumal vaimus.
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.
7 Kõigi asjade lõpp on lähedal. Seepärast olge valvsad ja mõistlikud, et saaksite palvetada.
The end of all things has drawn near. Therefore be alert and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.
8 Ennekõike olgu teil sügav armastus üksteise vastu, sest armastus katab kinni pattude hulga.
Above all, maintain a deep love for one another, because love will cover a multitude of sins.
9 Olge üksteise vastu külalislahked ilma nurisemata!
Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
10 Igaüks teenigu teisi selle andega, mille ta on saanud, nagu Jumala mitmekülgse armu head majapidajad.
As each of you has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 Kui keegi räägib, siis ta rääkigu nagu Jumala sõnul! Kui keegi teenib, tehku seda jõust, mida Jumal annab, et kõiges kiidetaks Jumalat Jeesuse Kristuse läbi, kelle päralt on kirkus ja vägi igavesest ajast igavesti. Aamen. (aiōn g165)
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)
12 Armsad, ärge imestage tulekuumuse üle, mis teid tabab, otsekui juhtuks teile midagi ebatavalist!
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.
13 Vastupidi, olge rõõmsad, kui te saate osa Kristuse kannatustest, et saaksite olla rõõmsad tema kirkuse ilmumisel.
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.
14 Õnnistatud olete teie, kui teid pilgatakse Kristuse nime pärast, sest siis hingab teie peal kirkuse Vaim, Jumala Vaim.
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.
15 Ärgu keegi kannatagu mõrvarina või vargana või muu kurjategijana või mässajana!
None of you should suffer as a murderer, thief, evildoer, or meddler,
16 Aga kui keegi kannatab Kristuse pärast, siis ta ärgu häbenegu, vaid kiitku Jumalat selle nime eest.
but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he should not be ashamed, but should glorify God in this matter.
17 Sest käes on aeg kohtumõistmisel alata Jumala kojast. Aga kui esmalt meist, missugune lõpp ootab siis neid, kes ei ole sõnakuulelikud Jumala evangeeliumile?
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?
18 Ja, „Kui juba õige pääseb vaevu, mis saab siis jumalatust ja patusest?“
And, “If the righteous man is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly man and sinner?”
19 Sellepärast usaldagu need, kes kannatavad Jumala tahte kohaselt, oma hinged head tehes ustava Looja hooleks!
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.
