1 Peter 2
1 Zatorej dajte na stran vso zlobnost in vso zvijačo in hinavščine in nevoščljivosti in vsa hudobna govorjenja,
WHEREFORE putting far away wickedness of every kind, and all deceit, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all backbitings,
2 kot novorojeni otročiči si želite pristnega mleka besede, da boste s tem lahko rastli;
as new-born babes desire earnestly the unadulterated milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
3 če je tako, ste okusili, da je Gospod milostljiv.
if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4 H kateremu prihajajte kakor k živemu kamnu, zares zavrnjenemu od ljudi, toda od Boga izbranemu in dragocenemu.
Whom approaching, as the living stone, rejected indeed of men, but elect of God, and honourable,
5 Tudi vi ste kot živi kamni, vgrajeni [v] duhovno hišo, sveto duhovništvo, da darujete duhovne žrtve, po Jezusu Kristusu sprejemljive Bogu.
ye also, as living stones, are built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices, well pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.
6 Zatorej je tudi vsebovano v pismu: »Glej, na Sionu položim glavni vogalni kamen, izvoljen, dragocen, in kdor veruje vanj, ne bo zbegan.«
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, “Behold, I lay in Sion a cornerstone, elect, precious, and the believer on him shall never be confounded.”
7 Vam torej, ki verujete, je dragocen; toda tem, ki so neposlušni, je kamen, ki so ga graditelji zavrnili, ta isti postal glava vogalu
By you therefore who believe is he honoured: but respecting the disobedient, “the stone which the builders rejected, this very stone is become the head of the corner,
8 in kamen spotike in skala pohujšanja, celó tem, ki se spotikajo ob besedo, ki so neposlušni; za kar so bili tudi določeni.
and a stone of stumbling, and rock of offence,” to those who stumble at the word, disobedient; whereunto also they were appointed.
9 Toda vi ste izbran rod, kraljevo duhovništvo, svet narod, posebni ljudje; da naj bi naznanjali hvale tistega, ki vas je iz teme poklical v svojo čudovito svetlobo;
But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired by purchase; that ye should publish abroad the excellencies of him, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
10 ki v preteklem času niste bili ljudstvo, toda sedaj ste Božje ljudstvo; ki niste dosegli usmiljenja, toda sedaj ste usmiljenje dosegli.
who in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God; who had not obtained mercy, but are now the objects of mercy.
11 Srčno ljubljeni, rotim vas kot tujce in romarje; vzdržite se pred mesenimi poželenji, ki se bojujejo zoper dušo;
Beloved, I exhort you, as strangers and sojourners, Abstain from carnal lusts, which war against the soul;
12 imejte svoje vedênje iskreno med pogani, da bodo, medtem ko govorijo proti vam kot hudodelcem, lahko po vaših dobrih delih, ki jih bodo gledali, na dan obiskanja proslavili Boga.
having your conduct ornamental among the Gentiles: that, whereas they malign you as wicked doers, they may, being eye-witnesses of your good works, glorify God in the day when he visits them.
13 Zaradi Gospoda se podredite vsaki človeški odredbi; bodisi je to kralj, kot najvišji,
Be subject therefore to every human constitution for the Lord’s sake; whether to a king as the supreme magistrate;
14 bodisi voditeljem, kot tistim, ki so po njem poslani za kaznovanje hudodelcev in za hvalo teh, ki delajo dobro.
or to governors, as sent by him for the punishment of wicked doers, but the praise of those who do well.
15 Kajti taka je Božja volja, da boste s počenjanjem dobrega lahko utišali nevednost nespametnih ljudi.
For such is the will of God, that by well doing ye hold under restraint the ignorance of foolish men:
16 Kot svobodni, pa svoje svobode ne uporabljajte za ogrinjalo zlonamernosti, temveč kakor Božji služabniki.
as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for wicked practices; but as being servants of God.
17 Spoštujte vse ljudi. Ljubite bratstvo. Bojte se Boga. Spoštujte kralja.
Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
18 Služabniki, z vsem strahom bodite podrejeni svojim gospodarjem; ne samo dobrim in blagim, temveč tudi osornim.
Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but even to the froward.
19 Kajti vredno hvale je to, če človek, ki krivično trpi zaradi zavedanja pred Bogom, prenaša žalost.
For this is gracious conduct, if for conscience towards God, any man undergo sorrows, suffering wrongfully.
20 Kajti kakšna čast je to, če boste, ko ste oklofutani zaradi svojih napak, to potrpežljivo prestali? Toda ko delate dobro in zaradi tega trpite, če to potrpežljivo prestanete, je to sprejemljivo pri Bogu.
For what glory would there be, if committing faults, and being buffeted, ye suffered patiently? but if, when ye behave well, yet suffer, ye bear it patiently, this is graciously accepted of God.
21 Kajti celó k temu ste bili poklicani, ker je tudi Kristus trpel za nas in nam pustil zgled, da naj bi vi sledili njegovim stopinjam;
For hereunto have ye been called, because Christ also hath suffered for you, leaving you a pattern, that ye should follow his steps;
22 ki ni storil greha niti v njegovih ustih ni bilo najti zvijače;
who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23 ki ni ponovno zasramoval, ko je bil zasramovan; ko je trpel, ni grozil; temveč je sebe izročil njemu, ki sodi pravično;
who, when reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he used no menaces; but referred himself to him who judgeth righteously:
24 ki je sam, v svojem lastnem telesu, naše grehe ponesel na les, da naj bi mi, mrtvi grehom, lahko živeli v pravičnosti; s čigar udarci z bičem ste bili ozdravljeni.
who himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead unto sins, might live unto righteousness; “by whose stripes, even his, ye were healed.”
25 Kajti bili ste kakor ovce, ki so zašle, toda sedaj ste vrnjeni k Pastirju in duhovnemu Nadzorniku svojih duš.
For ye were as sheep wandering astray; but are now returned unto the pastor and bishop of your souls.
