1 Peter 3

1 In like manner, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any do not obey the word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word;

Enako, žene, pokorne bodite svojim možem, da, če tudi kateri niso poslušni besedi, pridobé se po vedenji žen brez besede,

2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.

Ko so videli v strahu sveto vedenje vaše.

3 Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing;

Dika vaša ne bodi vnanja, spletanje lâs, in navešanje zlatnine, ali oblačenje kril;

4 but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious.

Nego skriti človek srca, v neminljivosti krotkega in mirnega duha, kateri je drag pred Bogom.

5 For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:

Tako namreč so se nekdaj dičile tudi svete žene, katere so upale v Boga, podložne svojim možem;

6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.

Kakor je bila Sara poslušna Abrahamu, imenujoč ga gospoda svojega. Katere otroci ste postale vé, če delate dobro in se ne bojite nobenega strahú.

7 You husbands, in like manner, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered.

Možjé, enako, živite z njimi po spoznanji, kakor slabšemu orodju ženskemu čast deleč, kakor tudi sodediči milosti življenja, da se ne ovirajo molitve vaše.

8 Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, humble,

Slednjič pa, vsi bodite enodušni, sočutni, bratoljubni, milosrčni, blagovoljni,

9 not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but instead blessing; because to this were you called, that you may inherit a blessing.

Ne vračajoč hudega za hudo, ali psovanja za psovanje; a nasprotno "blagoslavljajoč, vedoč, da ste za to poklicani, da podedovate blagoslov.

10 For, "He who would love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.

"Kajti kdor hoče življenje ljubiti in videti dobre dni, brzdá naj jezik svoj pred hudim, in ustne svoje, da ne govoré zvijače.

11 Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.

Ogiblje se naj hudega, in dela naj dobro; išče naj mirú in hodi za njim.

12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."

Ker oči Gospodove so nad pravičnimi in ušesa njegova nad njih molitvami; obličje pa Gospodovo nad njimi, ki delajo hudo."

13 Now who is he who will harm you, if you become zealous of that which is good?

In kdo je, da bi vam kaj hudega storil, če postanete posnemalci dobrega?

14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not fear what they fear, nor be troubled."

Ali ko bi tudi trpeli za pravico, blagor vam! "Strahú pa njih ne bojte se, in ne begajte se;

15 But sanctify in your hearts Messiah as Lord; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with humility and fear:

Gospoda pa Boga posvečujte v srcih svojih." Pripravljeni pa bodite vedno na zagovor vsakemu, kateri zahteva od vas odgovora za upanje v vas, s krotkostjo in strahom;

16 having a good conscience; so that when they speak evil against you, they may be put to shame who slander your good manner of life in Messiah.

In dobro vest imejte, da se v tem, za kar vas obrekujejo kakor hudodelnike, osramoté, kateri obrekujejo vaše lepo vedenje v Kristusu.

17 For it is better, if it is God's will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.

Kajti bolje, da dobro delajoč, če hoče volja Božja, trpite, nego hudo delajoč;

18 Because Messiah also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

Ker tudi Kristus je enkrat za grehe trpel, pravični za krivične, da nas pripelje Bogu; usmrten v mesu, oživljen pa v duhu,

19 in which he also went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison,

V katerem je tudi šel in oznanjal duhovom v ječi,

20 who before were disobedient, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, while the box-shaped ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved by means of water.

Kateri so bili nekdaj neposlušni, ko je enkrat potrpežljivost Božja čakala o dnevih Noeta, ko se je napravljala ladija, v katero se je rešilo malo, to je osem duš, po vodi;

21 This is a symbol of immersion, which now saves you—not the removal of dirt from the body, but an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah,

Čemur podoben tudi zdaj nas rešuje krst (ne mesne nesnage odloga, nego dobre vesti obljuba do Boga), po vstajenji Jezusa Kristusa,

22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.

Kateri je na desnici Božji, po vnebohodu, in podredjeni so mu angeli in oblasti in moči.
