Pēteŗa 1. Vēstule 1
1 Pēteris, Tā Kunga Jēzus Kristus apustulis, tiem izredzētiem svešiniekiem, kas mīt pa Pontu, Galatiju, Kapadoķiju, Āziju un Bitiniju,
To the people of God who are living abroad, dispersed throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Roman Asia, and Bithynia,
2 Kas izredzēti pēc Dieva, Tā Tēva, paredzēšanas, iekš Tā Gara svētu darīšanas, uz paklausīšanu un uz apslacīšanu ar Jēzus Kristus asinīm: žēlastība un miers lai pie jums vairojās.
and who were chosen in accordance with the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the consecration of the Spirit, to learn obedience, and to be purified by the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ, from Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ. May blessing and peace be yours in ever increasing measure.
3 Slavēts lai ir mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus Dievs un Tēvs, kas pēc Savas lielās apžēlošanas mūs atdzemdinājis uz dzīvu cerību caur Jēzus Kristus augšāmcelšanos no miroņiem,
Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has, in his great mercy, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 Uz neiznīcīgu un neapgānītu un nesavīstamu mantību, kas top paturēta debesīs priekš jums,
given us the new life of undying hope, that promises an inheritance, imperishable, stainless, unfading, which has been reserved for you in heaven –
5 Kas iekš Dieva spēka topat glabāti caur ticību uz pestīšanu, kas ir gatava parādīties pēdīgā laikā:
for you who, through faith, are being guarded by the power of God, awaiting a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last days.
6 Par to jūs priecājaties, mazu brīdi tagad, ja vajag, noskumdināti dažādās kārdināšanās,
At the thought of this you are full of exultation, though (if it has been necessary) you have suffered for the moment somewhat from various trials;
7 Lai jūsu pārbaudītā ticība top atrasta dārgāka nekā zelts, kas iznīkst un ugunī kļūst pārbaudīts, - par slavu un godu un teikšanu, kad Jēzus Kristus taps redzams.
that the genuineness of your faith – a thing far more precious than gold, which is perishable, yet has to be tested by fire – may win praise and glory and honour at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
8 To neredzējuši jūs mīlat un, jebšu tagad Viņu neredzat, tomēr ticēdami uz Viņu, priecājaties ar neizsakāmu un godības pilnu prieku,
Though you have never seen him, yet you love him; though you do not even now see him, yet you believe in him, and exalt with a triumphant happiness too great for words,
9 Panākdami savas ticības gala mērķi, dvēseļu pestīšanu.
as you receive the reward of your faith in the salvation of your souls!
10 Pēc šīs pestīšanas rūpīgi vaicājuši un meklējuši tie pravieši, kas par to jums novēlēto žēlastību papriekš sludinājuši,
It was this salvation that the prophets, who spoke long ago of the blessing intended for you, sought, and strove to comprehend;
11 Izmeklēdami, kuru un kādu laiku Kristus Gars, kas iekš tiem bija, zīmēja, papriekš apliecinādams Kristus ciešanas un to godību pēc tām.
as they strove to discern what that time could be, to which the Spirit of Christ within them was pointing, when foretelling the sufferings that Christ would have to endure, and the glories that would follow.
12 Tiem ir parādīts, ka tie nav kalpojuši sev pašiem, bet jums ar to, ko jums tagad pasludinājuši tie prieka sludinātāji iekš Svētā Gara, kas no debesīm sūtīts; tādas lietas skatīties arī eņģeļiem ļoti gribās.
And it was revealed to them that it was not for themselves, but for you, that they were acting as Ministers of the truths which have now been told to you, by those who, with the help of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, have brought you the good news – truths into which even angels long to look.
13 Tāpēc apjoziet savas sirds gurnus un skaidrā prātā ceriet pilnīgi uz to žēlastību, kas jums taps atnesta, kad Jēzus Kristus parādīsies.
Therefore concentrate your minds, with the strictest self-control, and fix your hopes on the blessing that is coming for you at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
14 Kā paklausīgi bērni neturaties pēc tām iekārošanām, kurām jūs līdz šim savā nezināšanā klausījāt;
Be like obedient children; do not let your lives be shaped by the passions which once swayed you in the days of your ignorance,
15 Bet, kā jūsu Aicinātājs ir svēts, tāpat arī jūs topat svēti visā dzīvošanā.
but in your whole life show yourselves to be holy, after the pattern of the Holy One from whom you received your call.
16 Jo ir rakstīts: esiet svēti, jo Es esmu svēts.
For scripture says – “You will be holy, because I am holy.”
17 Un ja jūs to kā Tēvu piesauciet, kas cilvēka vaigu neuzlūkodams tiesā pēc ikviena darba, tad dzīvojiet iekš bijāšanas šinī laikā, kamēr šeitan mītat;
And since you call on him as “Father,” who judges everyone impartially by what he has done, let respectful awe be the spirit of your lives during the time of your stay on earth.
18 Zinādami, ka jūs neesat atpirkti ar iznīcīgu mantu, ar sudrabu vai zeltu no savas nelietīgās dzīvošanas pēc tēvu ieraduma,
For you know that it was not by perishable things, such as silver and gold, that you were ransomed from the aimless way of living which was handed down to you from your ancestors,
19 Bet ar Kristus, tā nenoziedzīga un neapgānīta jēra, dārgām asinīm;
but by precious blood, as it were of a lamb, unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.
20 Tas papriekš paredzēts priekš pasaules radīšanas, un redzams tapis šinīs pēdīgos laikos jūsu labad,
Destined for this before the beginning of the world, he has been revealed in these last days for your sakes,
21 Kas caur Viņu ticat uz Dievu, kas To ir uzmodinājis no miroņiem un Tam godību devis, tā ka jūsu ticība arī ir cerība uz Dievu.
who, through him, are faithful to God who raised him from the dead and gave him honour, so that your faith and hope are now in God.
22 Un savas dvēseles šķīstījuši, tai patiesībai paklausot caur To Garu uz neviltīgu brāļu mīlestību, mīliet savā starpā no šķīstas sirds un bez mitēšanās,
Now that, by your obedience to the truth, you have purified your lives, so that there is growing up among you a genuine affection, love one another earnestly with all your hearts;
23 Jūs, kas esat atdzimuši ne no iznīcīgas sēklas, bet no neiznīcīgas caur to dzīvo un mūžīgi paliekamo Dieva vārdu. (aiōn g165)
since your new life has come, not from perishable, but imperishable, seed, through the message of the Everliving God. (aiōn g165)
24 Jo visa miesa ir kā zāle un visa cilvēka godība kā zāles puķe; zāle ir savītusi un viņas puķe nokritusi;
For – “All earthly life is but as grass, and all its splendour as the flower of grass. The grass fades, its flower falls,
