1 Pedro 4
1 Visto que Cristo sofreu na carne, armai-vos também com o mesmo modo de pensar, pois quem sofreu na carne terminou com o pecado;
Therefore, because Christ suffered physically, you also must think the way that he did [when he was willing to suffer], because those who suffer [because of belonging to Jesus] have stopped sinning [the way they used to sin].
2 para que, no resto do tempo na carne, não viva mais segundo os maus desejos humanos, mas sim segundo a vontade de Deus.
As a result, during their remaining time here on earth, they do not do the things that sinful people desire to do, but instead they do the things that God wants them to do.
3 Pois já basta, no tempo passado, termos feito a vontade dos pagãos, e andado em promiscuidades, desejos maliciosos, bebedeiras, orgias, festas de embriaguez, e abomináveis idolatrias.
[I say that to you] because [SAR] you have already spent too much of your time [here on earth] doing what the people who do not know God like to do. In the past you committed all kinds of sexually immoral acts [DOU], you got drunk and then participated in (orgies/wild parties) and carousing/revelry, and you [worshipped] idols, which is very displeasing to God.
4 Como eles estranham vós não agirdes como eles, que correm em busca da extrema devassidão, por isso falam mal de vós.
[Because you used to do those things], [your friends] are surprised that you do not join them any more when they participate in that kind of wild behavior [that] ([is rushing to/will quickly]) [destroy them like] [MET] a flood. As a result, they say evil things about you.
5 Eles terão de prestar contas ao que está pronto para julgar os vivos e os mortos.
But [God] is ready to judge the people who are living [now] and the people who have died, and he is the one who will decide whether he approves of what each of them has done.
6 Pois por isso o evangelho também foi pregado aos mortos, para que, mesmo que tenham sido julgados na carne segundo os critérios humanos, vivam em espírito segundo os critérios de Deus.
That is the reason why the message [about Christ] was preached {[people] preached the message [about Christ]} to believers who have now died. [That message was preached to them] in order that even though [sinful] people might judge them [and say that they are guilty], God’s Spirit would [enable them to] live [eternally].
7 O fim de todas as coisas está próximo; portanto sede sóbrios, e vigiai em orações.
It is almost the time when everything on this earth will come to an end. Therefore, keep thinking sensibly/reasonably and control what you think [DOU], so that you can pray [clearly].
8 Acima de tudo, tende fervoroso amor uns para com os outros; porque o amor cobre uma multidão de pecados.
Most important of all, love each other earnestly/wholeheartedly, because if we love others [PRS], we will just ignore many of the sinful things that [they do to us].
9 Proporcionai hospitalidade uns aos outros, sem murmurações.
Provide food and a place to sleep for those [who come to your community], [and do it] without complaining.
10 Cada um sirva aos outros segundo o dom que recebeu, como bons administradores da variada graça de Deus.
Believers should all use the spiritual gifts that God has given them to serve others. They should manage/use well the various gifts that God has kindly given them.
11 Se alguém fala, que seja como as palavras de Deus; se alguém serve, [que sirva] segundo a força que Deus dá; a fim de que em tudo Deus seja glorificado por meio de Jesus Cristo. E a ele pertencem a glória e o poder para todo o sempre, Amém! (aiōn g165)
Those who speak [to the congregation] should do that as though they are speaking the [very] words of God. Those who do kind things to others should do it with the strength that God gives them, in order that God may be honored by all this {that all this may honor God} as Jesus Christ [enables us to do it. I pray that we will] praise [God] (OR, [Jesus]) and allow him [to rule over us] forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
12 Amados, não estranheis o fogo ardente que vem sobre vós para vos provar, como se algo estranho estivesse vos acontecendo.
You whom I love, do not be surprised about the painful things that you are suffering [because you belong to Christ]. [Those] things are [testing you as metals are tested by people putting them] in a fire. Do not think that something strange is happening to you.
13 Em vez disso, alegrai-vos em serdes participantes das aflições de Cristo; para que, também na revelação de sua glória vos alegreis com júbilo.
Instead, rejoice that you are suffering the same kinds of things that Christ endured. Rejoice when [you suffer], in order that you may also be very glad [DOU] when Christ returns and reveals how glorious/wonderful he is.
14 Se vós sois insultados por causa do nome de Cristo, benditos sois; porque o Espírito da glória e de Deus repousa sobre vós.
If you are insulted {If [people] insult you} because you believe in Christ [MTY], [God is] pleased with you, because it shows that the Spirit of God, the Spirit who [reveals how] great [God is], lives within you.
15 Porém nenhum de vós sofra como homicida, ladrão, malfeitor, ou como alguém que se intromete em assuntos alheios;
If you suffer, do not let that suffering be the result of your being a murderer or a thief or as a result of doing some other evil thing, or as a result of interfering in someone else’s affairs.
16 Mas se [sofre] como cristão, não se envergonhe; ao contrário, glorifique a Deuscom esse nome;
But if you suffer because of being a Christian, do not be ashamed about it. Instead, praise God that you are suffering because of belonging to Christ [MTY].
17 Pois já é tempo do julgamento começar pela casa de Deus; e se é primeiro conosco, qual será o fim daqueles que são desobedientes ao Evangelho de Deus?
I say that, because it is now time for God to begin judging people, and first he will judge those who belong [MTY] to him. Since he will judge us believers first, think about the terrible things that will happen to [RHQ] those who do not obey the good message that comes from him!
18 E se o justo se salva com dificuldade, em que situação aparecerá o ímpio e pecador?
[That will be as it] is written in the Scriptures, [Many] righteous people [will have to suffer] many [difficult trials before going to heaven]. So ungodly and sinful people will surely have to suffer [much severe punishment from God]!
19 Portanto, os que sofrem segundo a vontade de Deus, confiem suas almas ao fiel Criador, fazendo o bem.
Therefore, those who suffer because of its being God’s will that they suffer [because of being Christians] should commit themselves to God, the one who created them and the one who always does what he promises to do. And they should continue to do what is right.
