1 Peter 3
1 In like manner, ye wives, [be] in subjection to your own husbands; that, even if any obey not the word, they may without the word be gained by the behaviour of their wives;
Prav tako bodite, ve žene, podložne svojim lastnim soprogom; da bi bili lahko, če kateri ne ubogajo besede, prav tako pridobljeni brez besede, z vedênjem žena,
2 beholding your chaste behaviour [coupled] with fear.
medtem ko gledajo vaše čisto vedênje, združeno s strahom.
3 Whose [adorning] let it not be the outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on apparel;
Katerih okrasitev naj ne bo ta zunanja okrasitev, s prepletanjem las in z nošenjem zlata ali z oblačenjem oblek,
4 but [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible [apparel] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
temveč naj bo to skriti človek srca, v tem kar ni trohljivo, celó ornament krotkega in tihega duha, kar ima v očeh Boga veliko ceno.
5 For after this manner aforetime the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
Kajti na ta način so v starih časih tudi svete ženske, ki so zaupale v Boga, sebe okrasile s tem, da so bile podložne svojim lastnim soprogom.
6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye now are, if ye do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.
Celó kakor je Sara ubogala Abrahama in ga klicala gospodar; katere hčere ste ve, dokler delate dobro in niste prestrašene s kakršnimkoli preplahom.
7 Ye husbands, in like manner, dwell with [your wives] according to knowledge, giving honour unto the woman, as unto the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; to the end that your prayers be not hindered.
Prav tako vi soprogi, prebivajte z njimi glede na spoznanje in dajajte čast ženi kot šibkejši posodi in kakor ste skupaj sodediči milosti življenja, da vaše molitve ne bodo ovirane.
8 Finally, [be] ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humbleminded:
Končno, bodite vsi enega mišljenja s tem, da imate sočutje drug do drugega, imejte se radi kot bratje, bodite sočutni, bodite prijazni,
9 not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but contrariwise blessing; for hereunto were ye called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
ne vračajte zla za zlo ali posmehovanja za posmehovanje, temveč nasprotno, blagoslavljajte; ker veste, da ste bili k temu poklicani, da naj bi podedovali blagoslov.
10 For, He that would love life, And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips that they speak no guile:
Kajti kdor hoče ljubiti življenje in videti dobre dni, naj zadržuje svoj jezik od zla in svoje ustnice, da ne bodo govorile nobene zvijače.
11 And let him turn away from evil, and do good; Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
Naj se ogiblje zla in dela dobro; naj išče mir in mu sledi.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, And his ears unto their supplication: But the face of the Lord is upon them that do evil.
Kajti Gospodove oči so nad pravičnimi in njegova ušesa so odprta k njihovim molitvam, toda Gospodov obraz je zoper te, ki počnejo zlo.
13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good?
In kdo je ta, ki vam bo škodil, če boste privrženci tega, kar je dobro?
14 But and if ye should suffer for righteousness’ sake, blessed [are ye]: and fear not their fear, neither be troubled;
Toda če pa trpite zaradi pravičnosti, ste srečni; in ne bojte se njihovih strahot niti ne bodite zaskrbljeni;
15 but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: [being] ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:
temveč v svojih srcih Gospoda Boga posvetite. In bodite vedno pripravljeni, s krotkostjo in strahom, dati odgovor vsakemu človeku, ki vas sprašuje za razlog upanja, ki je v vas;
16 having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ.
s tem, da imate dobro vest; da bodo, glede na to, da o vas govorijo hudobno, kakor o hudodelcih, lahko osramočeni tisti, ki zmotno obtožujejo vaše dobro vedênje v Kristusu.
17 For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing.
Kajti bolje je, če je taka Božja volja, da trpite zaradi početja dobrega, kakor zaradi početja zlega.
18 Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but quickened in the spirit;
Kajti tudi Kristus je enkrat trpel za grehe, pravični za nepravične, da bi nas lahko privedel k Bogu, je bil v mesu usmrčen, toda oživljen po Duhu,
19 in which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison,
po katerem je tudi šel in oznanjal duhovom v ječi;
20 which aforetime were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water:
ki so bili nekdaj neposlušni, ko je Božja potrpežljivost nekoč, v Noetovih dneh, čakala, medtem ko se je pripravljala barka, v kateri je bilo malo, to je osem duš, rešeno po vodi.
21 which also after a true likeness doth now save you, [even] baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ;
Podobna podoba kakor celó krst nas tudi sedaj rešuje (in ne odstranjuje umazanije mesa, temveč jamči o dobri vesti pred Bogom), z vstajenjem Jezusa Kristusa,
22 who is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
ki je odšel v nebesa in je na Božji desnici; podrejeni so mu bili angeli in oblasti ter moči.
