1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen ones who are living as foreigners in the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Od Petra, apostola Isusa Hrista, izbranijem došljacima, rasijanijem po Pontu, Galatiji, Kapadokiji, Aziji i Vitiniji;
2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
Po proviðenju Boga oca, svetinjom Duha dovedenijem u poslušanje i kropljenje krvi Isusa Hrista: da vam se umnoži blagodat i mir.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Blagosloven Bog i otac Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista, koji nas po velikoj milosti svojoj prerodi za živ nad vaskrsenijem Isusa Hrista iz mrtvijeh,
4 to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn’t fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
Za našljedstvo nepropadljivo, koje neæe istruhnuti ni uvenuti, saèuvano na nebesima za vas,
5 who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Koje je sila Božija vjerom saèuvala za spasenije, pripravljeno da se javi u pošljednje vrijeme;
6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials,
Kojemu radujte se, premda ste sad malo gdje je potrebno) žalosni u razliènijem napastima,
7 that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ—
Da se kušanje vaše vjere mnogo vrednije od zlata propadljivoga koje se kuša ognjem naðe na hvalu i èast i slavu, kad se pokaže Isus Hristos;
8 whom, not having known, you love. In him, though now you don’t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory,
Kojega ne vidjevši ljubite, i kojega sad ne gledajuæi no vjerujuæi ga radujete se radošæu neiskazanom i proslavljenom,
9 receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Primajuæi kraj svoje vjere, spasenije dušama.
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently. They prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
Koje spasenije tražiše i ispitivaše za nj proroci, koji za vašu blagodat prorekoše;
11 searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them pointed to when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow them.
Ispitujuæi u kakovo ili u koje vrijeme javljaše Duh Hristov u njima, naprijed svjedoèeæi za Hristove muke i za slave po tome;
12 To them it was revealed that they served not themselves, but you, in these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
Kojima se otkri da ne samijem sebi nego nama služahu ovijem što vam se sad javi po onima koji vam propovjediše jevanðelje poslanijem s neba Duhom svetijem, u koje anðeli žele zaviriti.
13 Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober, and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ—
Zato, ljubazni, zapregnuvši bedra svojega uma budite trijezni, i zacijelo se nadajte blagodati koja æe vam se prinijeti kad doðe Isus Hristos.
14 as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,
Kao poslušna djeca, ne vladajuæi se po prvijem željama u svojemu neznanju,
15 but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior,
Nego po svecu koji vas je pozvao, i vi budite sveti u svemu življenju.
16 because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
Jer je pisano: budite sveti, jer sam ja svet.
17 If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man’s work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear,
I ako zovete ocem onoga, koji ne gledajuæi ko je ko, sudi svakome po djelu, provodite vrijeme svojega življenja sa strahom,
18 knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things like silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,
Znajuæi da se propadljivijem srebrom ili zlatom ne iskupiste iz sujetnoga svojeg življenja, koje ste vidjeli od otaca;
19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Christ,
Nego skupocjenom krvlju Hrista, kao bezazlena i preèista jagnjeta;
20 who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in this last age for your sake,
Koji je odreðen još prije postanja svijeta, a javio se u pošljednja vremena vas radi,
21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.
Koji kroz njega vjerujete Boga koji ga podiže iz mrtvijeh, i dade mu slavu, da bi vaša vjera i nadanje bilo u Boga.
22 Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,
Duše svoje oèistivši u poslušanju istine Duhom za bratoljublje nedvolièno, od èista srca ljubite dobro jedan drugoga,
23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever. (aiōn g165)
Kao preroðeni ne od sjemena koje truhne, nego od onog koje ne truhne, rijeèju živoga Boga, koja ostaje dovijeka. (aiōn g165)
24 For, “All flesh is like grass, and all of man’s glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
Jer je svako tijelo kao trava, i svaka slava èovjeèija kao cvijet travni: osuši se trava, i cvijet njezin otpade;
