1 Peter 4

1 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

Kad dakle Hristos postrada za nas tijelom, i vi se tom misli naoružajte: jer koji postrada tijelom, prestaje od grijeha,

2 that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

Da ostalo vrijeme života u tijelu ne živi više željama èovjeèijim, nego volji Božijoj.

3 For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.

Jer je dosta što smo prošavše vrijeme života proveli po volji neznabožaèkoj, živeæi u neèistotama, u slastima, u pijanstvu, u žderanju, u pijenju i bogomrskijem neznaboštvima.

4 They think it is strange that you don’t run with them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you.

Zato se èude što vi ne trèite s njima u to isto neuredno življenje, i hule na vas.

5 They will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

Oni æe dati odgovor onome koji je gotov da sudi živima i mrtvima.

6 For to this end the Good News was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit.

Zato se i mrtvima propovjedi jevanðelje, da prime sud po èovjeku tijelom a po Bogu da žive duhom.

7 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.

A svemu se kraj približi. Budite dakle mudri i trijezni u molitvama.

8 And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.

A prije svega imajte neprestanu ljubav meðu sobom; jer ljubav pokriva mnoštvo grijeha.

9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

Budite gostoljubivi meðu sobom bez mrmljanja;

10 As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.

I služite se meðu sobom, svaki darom koji je primio, kao dobri pristavi razliène blagodati Božije.

11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

Ako ko govori, neka govori kao rijeèi Božije; ako ko služi neka služi kao po moæi koju Bog daje: da se u svaèemu slavi Bog kroz Isusa Hrista, kome je slava i država va vijek vijeka. Amin. (aiōn g165)

12 Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.

Ljubazni! ne èudite se vruæini koja vam se dogaða za kušanje vaše, kao da vam se što novo dogaða;

13 But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.

Nego se radujte što stradate s Hristom, da biste, i kad se javi slava njegova, imali radost i veselje.

14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.

Ako bivate ukoreni za ime Hristovo, blago vama! jer Duh slave i Boga poèiva na vama: oni dakle hule na nj, a vi ga proslavljate.

15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler in other men’s matters.

Samo da ne postrada koji od vas kao krvnik, ili kao lupež, ili kao zloèinac, ili kao onaj koji se miješa u tuðe poslove;

16 But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.

A ako li kao hrišæanin, neka se ne stidi, veæ neka slavi Boga u ovom dogaðaju.

17 For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who don’t obey the Good News of God?

Jer je vrijeme da se poène sud od kuæe Božije; ako li se najprije od vas poène, kakav æe biti pošljedak onima što se protive Božijemu jevanðelju?

18 “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?”

I kad se pravednik jedva spase, bezbožnik i grješnik gdje æe se javiti?

19 Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.

Zato i koji stradaju po volji Božijoj neka mu kao vjernome tvorcu predadu duše svoje u dobrijem djelima.
