1 Petrova 3
1 A tako i vi žene budite pokorne svojijem muževima, da ako koji i ne vjeruju rijeèi ženskijem življenjem bez rijeèi da se dobiju,
In like manner, ye wives, —submitting yourselves unto your own husbands; in order that, if any are not yielding unto the word, through their wives behaviour, they may, without the word, be won,
2 Kad vide èisto življenje vaše sa strahom;
Having been permitted to behold your reverently chaste behaviour, —
3 Vaša ljepota da ne bude spolja u pletenju kose, i u udaranju zlata, i oblaèenju haljina;
Whose adorning, let it be—not the outward, of plaiting the hair and wearing golden ornaments, or putting on of apparel,
4 Nego u tajnome èovjeku srca, u jednakosti krotkoga i tihoga duha, što je pred Bogom mnogocjeno.
But the hidden character, of the heart, —in the incorruptible [ornament] of the quiet, and meek, spirit, which is, in presence of God, of great price.
5 Jer se tako nekad ukrašavahu i svete žene, koje se uzdahu u Boga i pokoravahu se svojijem muževima,
For, so, at one time, the holy women also, who directed their hope towards God, used to adorn themselves, being in submission unto their own husbands:
6 Kao što Sara slušaše Avraama, i zvaše ga gospodarom; koje ste vi kæeri postale, ako èinite dobro, i ne bojite se nikakvoga straha.
As, Sarah, was obedient unto Abraham, calling him, lord, —whose children ye have become—so long as ye are doing good, and not bringing yourselves into fear of any single cause of alarm.
7 Tako i vi muževi živite sa svojijem ženama po razumu, i poštujte ih kao slabiji ženski sud, i kao sunašljednice blagodati života, da se ne smetu molitve vaše.
Ye husbands, in like manner, dwelling with them according to knowledge, —as unto a weaker vessel, unto the female [vessel], assigning honour, as joint—inheritors also of life’s favour, —to the end that unhindered may be, your prayers.
8 A najposlije budite svi složni, žalostivi, bratoljubivi, milostivi, ponizni;
And, finally, all, being of one mind, having fellow—feeling, attached to the brethren, of tender affection, of lowly mind:
9 Ne vraæajte zla za zlo, ni psovke za psovku; nego nasuprot blagosiljajte, znajuæi da ste na to pozvani da naslijedite blagoslov.
Not returning evil for evil, nor reviling for reviling, but, on the contrary, bestowing a blessing, —because, hereunto, have ye been called, in order that, a blessing, ye might inherit.
10 Jer koji je rad da živi i da vidi dane dobre, neka zadrži jezik svoj od zla, i usne svoje, da ne govore prijevare;
For, he that desireth to love, life, and to see good days, Let him cause his tongue to cease from mischief, and lips, that they speak not deceit;
11 Neka se ukloni od zla, i neka uèini dobro; neka traži mira i neka se drži njega.
Let him turn away from mischief, and do good, Let him seek peace, and pursue it;
12 Jer oèi Gospodnje gledaju na pravednike, i uši njegove na molitvu njihovu; a lice Gospodnje na one koji zlo èine da ih istrijebi sa zemlje.
Because, the eyes of the Lord, are towards the righteous, and his ears, unto their supplication, —Whereas, the face of the Lord, is against them that are doing mischievous things.
13 I ko može vama nauditi ako uzidete za dobrom?
Who, then, is he that shall harm you, if, for that which is good, ye become zealous?
14 Nego ako i stradate pravde radi, blaženi ste. Ali straha njihova ne bojte se, niti se plašite;
Nevertheless, even if ye should suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy [are ye]! Their fear, however, do not fear, neither be troubled;
15 Nego Gospoda Boga svetite u srcima svojijem. A budite svagda gotovi na odgovor svakome koji vas zapita za vaše nadanje.
But, the Lord Christ, hallow ye in your hearts, ready always for a defence, unto every one that is asking you a reason concerning, the hope within you, —nevertheless, with meekness and reverence:
16 S krotošæu i strahom imajte dobru savjest; da ako vas opadaju za što kao zloèince da se postide oni što kude vaše dobro življenje po Hristu.
Having, a good conscience, in order that, wherein they speak against you, they may be put to shame who cast wanton insult on, your good behaviour in Christ.
17 Jer je bolje, ako hoæe volja Božija, da stradate dobro èineæi, negoli zlo èineæi.
For it is, better, as well-doers, if it should please the pleasure of God, to be suffering, than, as evil-doers:
18 Jer i Hristos jedanput za grijehe naše postrada, pravednik za nepravednike, da nas privede k Bogu, ubijen, istina, bivši tijelom, no oživljevši Duhom;
Because, Christ also, once for all, concerning sins, died, —Just in behalf of unjust, —in order that he might introduce us unto God; being put to death, indeed, in flesh, but made alive in spirit, —
19 Kojijem sišavši propovijeda i duhovima koji su u tamnici,
In which, even unto the spirits in prison, he went and proclaimed, —
20 Koji nekad ne htješe da slušaju kad ih oèekivaše Božije trpljenje u vrijeme Nojevo, kad se graðaše kovèeg, u kome malo, to jest osam duša, ostade od vode.
[Spirits] unyielding at one time, when the longsuffering of God was holding forth a welcome in the days of Noah, there being in preparation an ark—[going] into which, a few, that is eight, souls, were brought safely through by means of water, —
21 Za spomen toga i nas sad spasava krštenje, ali ne pranje tjelesne neèistote, nego obeæanje dobre savjesti Bogu, vaskrsenijem Isusa Hrista.
Which [water] in manner corresponding, doth, now, save, you also—even immersion, —not a putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the request unto God, for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, —
22 Koji je s desne strane Bogu, otišavši na nebo, i slušaju ga anðeli i vlasti i sile.
Who is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, messengers and authorities and powers, having been made subject unto him.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
