1 Peter 4
1 Ker je torej Kristus za nas trpel v mesu, se podobno tudi vi oborožite z istim mišljenjem, kajti kdor je trpel v mesu, je prenehal z grehom;
Therefore, since Christ suffered on our behalf in flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mentality (for the one who has ‘suffered in flesh’ has been made to cease from sin)
2 da preostanek svojega časa v mesu ne bi več živel za človeška poželenja, temveč za Božjo voljo.
so as not to live your remaining time in flesh for human lusts any longer, but for the will of God.
3 Kajti pretekli čas našega življenja nam lahko zadošča, da smo izvrševali voljo poganov, ko smo hodili v pohotnosti, poželenjih, vinskih izgredih, veseljačenjih, gostijah in gnusnih malikovanjih;
Because the time that has passed is plenty for you to have performed the will of the pagans—having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, carousings and disgusting idolatries—
4 pri čemer imajo za čudno, da ne tečete z njimi k istemu izgredu upornosti, govoreč zlo o vas;
in regard to which they are disagreeably surprised at your not running with them into the same flood of debauchery, reviling you;
5 ki bodo dali obračun tistemu, ki je pripravljen, da sodi žive in mrtve.
they will give an account to Him who is ready to judge living and dead
6 Zaradi tega razloga je bil evangelij oznanjen tudi tem, ki so mrtvi, da bi bili lahko sojeni po človeško, v mesu, toda glede Boga bi živeli v duhu.
(which is precisely why dead ones were once evangelized, that they should be judged as men in flesh, to be sure, but that they should live according to God in spirit).
7 Toda konec vseh stvari je blizu; bodite torej trezni in čujte v molitvi.
The end of all things has approached; therefore be serious and self-controlled in your praying.
8 Bolj pa kakor karkoli drugega imejte med seboj gorečo ljubezen, kajti ljubezen pokrije množico grehov.
Above all things your love for one another should be constant, because love covers a multitude of sins.
9 Brez godrnjanja uporabljajte gostoljubnost drug do drugega.
Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
10 Kakor je vsak prejel dar, točno tako enako služite drug drugemu kot dobri oskrbniki mnogovrstne Božje milosti.
As each has received a gift, minister it to one another as good administrators of God's varied grace.
11 Če katerikoli človek govori, naj govori kakor Božje izreke; če katerikoli človek služi, naj to opravlja kakor iz zmožnosti, ki jo daje Bog; da bo v vseh stvareh Bog lahko proslavljen po Jezusu Kristusu, ki mu bodi hvala in gospostvo na veke vekov. Amen. (aiōn g165)
If anyone speaks, let it be as utterances of God. If anyone serves, let it be as from strength as God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion throughout the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Ljubljeni, ne mislite čudno glede ognjene preizkušnje, ki je, da vas preizkusi, kakor da se vam je zgodila neka čudna stvar,
Dear ones, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you as a test, as though something strange was happening to you,
13 temveč se veselite, kolikor ste soudeleženci Kristusovih trpljenj; da ko se bo razodela njegova slava, boste lahko tudi veseli s silno radostjo.
but to the extent that you share in Christ's sufferings, rejoice, so that at the revelation of His glory you also may rejoice a great deal more.
14 Če ste grajani zaradi Kristusovega imena, ste srečni; kajti na vas počiva duh slave in Boga; na njihovi strani je obrekovanje, toda na vaši strani je on proslavljen.
If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of the glory and of God has come to rest upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.
15 Toda nihče izmed vas naj ne trpi kot morilec ali kot tat ali kot hudodelec ali kot vtikljivec v zadeve drugih ljudi.
Now do not any of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a meddler in others' affairs;
16 Vendar če katerikoli človek trpi kot kristjan, naj ne bo osramočen, temveč naj zaradi tega proslavlja Boga.
but if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.
17 Kajti prihaja čas, da se mora sodba začeti v Božji hiši; in če se ta najprej začne pri nas, kakšen bo konec teh, ki ne ubogajo Božjega evangelija?
Because the time has come for judgment to begin at God's house; now if it starts with us, what will be the end of those who keep disobeying the Gospel of God?
18 In če bo pravični komaj rešen, kje se bo pokazal brezbožnež in grešnik?
Also, ‘If the righteous one is saved with difficulty, where will the godless and sinful person appear?’
19 Zatorej naj tisti, ki trpijo glede na Božjo voljo, čuvanje svojih duš izročijo njemu kot zvestemu Stvarniku, s početjem dobrega.
And so let those who suffer according to the will of God entrust their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.
