< 1 Peter 2 >

1 Zatorej dajte na stran vso zlobnost in vso zvijačo in hinavščine in nevoščljivosti in vsa hudobna govorjenja,
Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all deceit, and hypocrisy, and envy, and all slander,
2 kot novorojeni otročiči si želite pristnega mleka besede, da boste s tem lahko rastli;
as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby to salvation,
3 če je tako, ste okusili, da je Gospod milostljiv.
if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good:
4 H kateremu prihajajte kakor k živemu kamnu, zares zavrnjenemu od ljudi, toda od Boga izbranemu in dragocenemu.
coming to him, a living stone, though rejected by people but chosen by God, precious.
5 Tudi vi ste kot živi kamni, vgrajeni [v] duhovno hišo, sveto duhovništvo, da darujete duhovne žrtve, po Jezusu Kristusu sprejemljive Bogu.
You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable 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.«
Because it is contained in Scripture, "Look, I am laying in Zion a stone, a chosen precious cornerstone, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."
7 Vam torej, ki verujete, je dragocen; toda tem, ki so neposlušni, je kamen, ki so ga graditelji zavrnili, ta isti postal glava vogalu
For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who do not believe, "The stone which the builders rejected, has become the chief cornerstone,"
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 to stumble over, and a rock to trip over." For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which 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 you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
10 ki v preteklem času niste bili ljudstvo, toda sedaj ste Božje ljudstvo; ki niste dosegli usmiljenja, toda sedaj ste usmiljenje dosegli.
who once were not a people, but now are God's people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Srčno ljubljeni, rotim vas kot tujce in romarje; vzdržite se pred mesenimi poželenji, ki se bojujejo zoper dušo;
Beloved, I urge you as foreigners and temporary residents, to abstain from fleshly 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 good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Zaradi Gospoda se podredite vsaki človeški odredbi; bodisi je to kralj, kot najvišji,
Subject yourselves to every human institution for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
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 vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
15 Kajti taka je Božja volja, da boste s počenjanjem dobrega lahko utišali nevednost nespametnih ljudi.
For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people:
16 Kot svobodni, pa svoje svobode ne uporabljajte za ogrinjalo zlonamernosti, temveč kakor Božji služabniki.
as free, and not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but as slaves of God.
17 Spoštujte vse ljudi. Ljubite bratstvo. Bojte se Boga. Spoštujte kralja.
Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor 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 also to the wicked.
19 Kajti vredno hvale je to, če človek, ki krivično trpi zaradi zavedanja pred Bogom, prenaša žalost.
For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.
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 is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with 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 to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,
22 ki ni storil greha niti v njegovih ustih ni bilo najti zvijače;
who "committed no sin, nor was deceit 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 he was cursed, did not curse back. When he suffered, did not threaten, but committed himself to him who judges 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 his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose wounds you were healed.
25 Kajti bili ste kakor ovce, ki so zašle, toda sedaj ste vrnjeni k Pastirju in duhovnemu Nadzorniku svojih duš.
For you were going astray like sheep; but now have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
