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;
FORASMUCH then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
2 da preostanek svojega časa v mesu ne bi več živel za človeška poželenja, temveč za Božjo voljo.
That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to 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;
For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
4 pri čemer imajo za čudno, da ne tečete z njimi k istemu izgredu upornosti, govoreč zlo o vas;
Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
5 ki bodo dali obračun tistemu, ki je pripravljen, da sodi žive in mrtve.
Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the 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.
For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
7 Toda konec vseh stvari je blizu; bodite torej trezni in čujte v molitvi.
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
8 Bolj pa kakor karkoli drugega imejte med seboj gorečo ljubezen, kajti ljubezen pokrije množico grehov.
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
9 Brez godrnjanja uporabljajte gostoljubnost drug do drugega.
Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
10 Kakor je vsak prejel dar, točno tako enako služite drug drugemu kot dobri oskrbniki mnogovrstne Božje milosti.
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
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 any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. 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,
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto 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 rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
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 ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, 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.
But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.
16 Vendar če katerikoli človek trpi kot kristjan, naj ne bo osramočen, temveč naj zaradi tega proslavlja Boga.
Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
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?
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18 In če bo pravični komaj rešen, kje se bo pokazal brezbožnež in grešnik?
And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19 Zatorej naj tisti, ki trpijo glede na Božjo voljo, čuvanje svojih duš izročijo njemu kot zvestemu Stvarniku, s početjem dobrega.
Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
