1 Peter 2
1 Therefore, do not act maliciously in any way or deceive others. Do not (be a hypocrite/try to make others think that you have qualities that you do not really have), and do not (envy/be jealous of) others. Do not ever slander anyone.
A tak se zbavujte všech špatných vlastností, návyků a pocitů. Mezi ně patří nečestnost, závist, pomluvy a přetvářka.
2 Just like newborn babies [long for their mothers’] pure milk [MET], you should long for [God’s] spiritual [truth], so that by learning it you may become [spiritually] mature. [You need to] do this until the day when God [will] free you completely [from all the evil in this world].
Jste jako nemluvňátka nově narozená pro Boží rodinu. Jako se nemluvně dožaduje mléka, tak i vy byste se měli živit Božím slovem – číst je a přemýšlet o něm, abyste rostli ve víře a k spáse.
3 [Also, you need to do this] because you have experienced that the Lord [acts in] a good way toward you.
Vždyť jste už na sobě poznali Boží dobrotivost.
4 You have come to the Lord Jesus. He is [like an important] stone [MET] [put in the foundation of a building], [but he is] alive, [not lifeless like a stone]. He was rejected by [many] people {[Many] people rejected him}, but God chose him and [considers him] to be very precious.
Přicházejte ke Kristu, kameni živému, který byl lidmi zavržen, ale před Bohem je vyvolený a vzácný.
5 [And like men] build houses with stones [MET], [God] is causing you to be joined together into a group in which [God’s] Spirit [lives], in order that you, because of what Jesus Christ did for us, might, like priests who offer sacrifices, [do things] that are pleasing to God.
I vy buďte živými kameny, z nichž se staví duchovní dům. Nadto vám Kristus vydobyl právo, abyste mohli jako kněží bezprostředně přistupovat k Bohu. Přinášejte mu tedy duchovní oběti vašeho čistého života, které rád přijme pro zásluhy Ježíše Krista.
6 [What Isaiah wrote] in the Scriptures [shows us that this is true]. [He wrote these words that God said]: Note this well: I am placing in Jerusalem [MTY] [one who is like] [MET] an extremely valuable [DOU] (stone/cornerstone, the most important stone in the structure of a building), and those who believe in him will never be disappointed.
Písmo o tom hovoří takto: „Posílám Krista jako pečlivě vybraný, vzácný základní kámen mé církve a nikdy nezklamu ty, kdo v něho věří.“
7 Therefore, [God will] honor you who believe in [Jesus]. But those who [refuse to] believe in him [are like the builders] that this Scripture [talks about]: The stone that the builders rejected has become (the cornerstone/the most important stone in the foundation of the building).
Ano, vám, kteří věříte, je velmi drahý, ale nevěřícím jsou určena tato slova Písma: „Stavitelé zavrhli kámen, který se stal základním kamenem. Pro ně je kamenem, o nějž klopýtnou, a skálou, která způsobí jejich pád.“
8 And [it is also written] {[Isaiah wrote]} in the Scriptures: [He will be like] a stone that causes people to stumble, like a rock that people trip over. [Just as people are injured when] they stumble over a rock, people who disobey the message [about Jesus are injured spiritually], and that is what [God] determined would happen to them.
Svým vzdorem vůči Božímu slovu na sebe přivolávají to, co Bůh předem řekl, svůj úplný pád.
9 But you are people whom God has chosen [to belong to him]. You are [a group that represents God like] priests do, and you rule with God [MET] like kings. You are (a holy group of people/a group of people who are separate from evil). You are people who belong to God. This is in order that you might proclaim the virtues of [God. He has] called you from [your former ways], [when you were ignorant of his truth], into the marvelous [understanding that he gives us] [MET]. [That is, he has called you] out of [spiritual] darkness into [spiritual] light.
Ale vy jste vyvoleni samým Bohem jako kněží Krále, jste svatí a čistí, jste jeho vlastní lid. To vše pro to, abyste svědčili druhým o tom, který vás povolal ze tmy do svého úžasného světla.
10 [What the prophet Hosea wrote is true of you] Formerly, you were not a people [who had a relationship with God], But now you are God’s people. At one time [God] had not acted mercifully toward you, But now he has acted mercifully toward you.
Dříve jste nebyli ničím, nyní jste Božím lidem. Dříve jste nevěděli o Boží dobrotě, a nyní proměnila vaše životy.
11 You people whom I love, I urge you to consider that you are like foreigners [MET, DOU] [whose real home is in heaven]. As a result, avoid doing the things that your self-directed nature desires, because those desires (fight against/always oppose) your souls.
Prosím vás, moji milí, žijte na tomto světě jako hosté. Váš skutečný domov je nyní v nebi, proto se zřekněte zlých přání, která ohrožují váš život s Kristem.
12 Keep conducting your lives in a good way among those who do not know God. [If you do that], although they may accuse you, saying that you are people who do evil things, they will see your good behavior, and at the time when God comes [to judge people], they will (give honor to him/say that what he does is right).
Mezi nevěřícími se chovejte vždy správně. I když o vás mluví jako o nejhorších lidech, nakonec, uvidí-li vaše dobré jednání, mohou být při druhém příchodu Ježíše Krista mezi zachráněnými.
13 For the sake of the Lord [Jesus], submit yourselves to every human authority. That includes submitting yourselves to the king, who is the most important authority,
Jako věřící respektujte představitele své země. Mají povinnost stíhat všechny, kdo činí zlo, a odměňovat ty, kteří jednají dobře.
14 and to governors, who are sent by the king {whom the king sends} to punish those who do what is wrong and to commend/honor those who do what is right.
15 What God wants is that by your doing [only] what is good you will cause foolish people who do not know [God] to be unable to say things ([to condemn you/to show you why you should be punished]).
Bůh si přeje, abyste svým příkladným životem umlčeli kritiku těch, kteří odsuzují Boží zvěst, třebaže nevědí, co jim přináší, a aniž zakusili její moc.
16 Conduct your lives as though you were free [from having to obey authorities], but do not think “Because I am free from having to obey authorities, I can do evil things.” Instead, act as servants of God [should].
Jste svobodní lidé, neznamená to však, že máte svobodu k činění zla. Pro vás je vždy směrodatná Boží vůle.
17 Act respectfully toward everyone. Love all your fellow believers. Revere God, and honor the king.
S každým jednejte s úctou, mějte rádi své spoluvěřící, žijte v uctivé poslušnosti před Bohem a vládu mějte ve vážnosti.
18 You slaves [who are believers], submit yourselves to your masters and completely respect them. Submit yourselves not only to those who [act in a] good and kind [DOU] way towards you, but also submit yourselves to those who [act in a] harsh way [towards you].
Respektujte své nadřízené, nejen když jsou k vám mírní a laskaví, ale i když jsou přísní a tvrdí.
19 You should do that because God is pleased with those who, knowing that he is aware of what is happening to them, endure the pain that they suffer [because of being treated unjustly by their masters] {[their masters have treated them unjustly]}.
Je to přednost, když někdo pro věrnost Bohu snáší utrpení neprávem.
20 God will certainly not [RHQ] be pleased with you if you do something that is wrong and as a result you are beaten {someone beats you}! But if, instead of doing something that is wrong, you do what is good, and as a result of that, you suffer for doing something that is good, and you endure that suffering, God will (commend/be pleased with) you.
Vždyť co je na tom záslužného, snášíte-li trest, který je vám spravedlivě vyměřen? Ale když jednáte správně, a přece za to trpíte, Bůh to ocení.
21 One of the reasons why God chose you is that you would [suffer]. When Christ suffered for you, he became an example for you, in order that you would (imitate what/do like) he did.
Taková utrpení jsou jen částí toho, co zakusil pro nás Kristus, který se v tom stal naším příkladem. Proto ho následujte!
22 [Remember how Christ conducted himself]: He never sinned, And he never said [MTY] anything to deceive people.
On nikdy nezhřešil, nikdy nevyslovil lež;
23 When people insulted him, he did not insult them in return. When people caused him to suffer, he did not threaten (to get revenge/to cause them to suffer). Instead, he decided to let God, who always judges justly, prove that he (was innocent/had done nothing that is wrong) (OR, he left his case in the hands of God, who always judges justly).
snášel urážky, ale sám neurážel; když trpěl, nehrozil, ale ponechával vše Bohu, který soudí spravedlivě.
24 He himself endured physically the punishment for our sins when he died on the cross, in order that we would stop sinning (OR, no longer respond to sinful desires) and start living righteous lives. It is because he was wounded {they wounded him} that your [souls have been saved] [MET] [from being sinful, as people’s bodies] are healed [from being sick].
On sám nesl naše hříchy na sobě, když zemřel na kříži, aby nám dal sílu skoncovat s hříchem a žít novým životem. Jeho utrpením jsme byli uzdraveni.
25 Truly you were like sheep that had gone astray [SIM], but now you have returned to [Jesus], who cares for your souls [as] a shepherd [cares for his sheep] [MET].
Byli jste jako ovce, které zabloudily, ale nyní jste navráceni ke svému pastýři a strážci.
