1 Peter 4
1 Therefore, because Christ suffered physically, you also must think the way that he did [when he was willing to suffer], because those who suffer [because of belonging to Jesus] have stopped sinning [the way they used to sin].
Portanto, como Cristo sofreu por nós na carne, armai-vos também vós com a mesma mente; pois aquele que sofreu na carne deixou de pecar,
2 As a result, during their remaining time here on earth, they do not do the things that sinful people desire to do, but instead they do the things that God wants them to do.
para que não vivais mais o resto de vosso tempo na carne pelas concupiscências dos homens, mas pela vontade de Deus.
3 [I say that to you] because [SAR] you have already spent too much of your time [here on earth] doing what the people who do not know God like to do. In the past you committed all kinds of sexually immoral acts [DOU], you got drunk and then participated in (orgies/wild parties) and carousing/revelry, and you [worshipped] idols, which is very displeasing to God.
Pois já passamos o suficiente de nosso tempo passado fazendo o desejo dos gentios, e tendo andado em luxúria, luxúrias, bebedeiras, orgias, carícias e idolatrias abomináveis.
4 [Because you used to do those things], [your friends] are surprised that you do not join them any more when they participate in that kind of wild behavior [that] ([is rushing to/will quickly]) [destroy them like] [MET] a flood. As a result, they say evil things about you.
Eles acham estranho que você não corra com eles para o mesmo excesso de tumulto, falando mal de você.
5 But [God] is ready to judge the people who are living [now] and the people who have died, and he is the one who will decide whether he approves of what each of them has done.
Eles darão contas àquele que está pronto para julgar os vivos e os mortos.
6 That is the reason why the message [about Christ] was preached {[people] preached the message [about Christ]} to believers who have now died. [That message was preached to them] in order that even though [sinful] people might judge them [and say that they are guilty], God’s Spirit would [enable them to] live [eternally].
Pois para isso a Boa Nova foi pregada até mesmo aos mortos, para que eles possam ser julgados de fato como homens em carne e osso, mas vivam como a Deus no espírito.
7 It is almost the time when everything on this earth will come to an end. Therefore, keep thinking sensibly/reasonably and control what you think [DOU], so that you can pray [clearly].
Mas o fim de todas as coisas está próximo. Portanto, seja de mente sã, autocontrolada e sóbria na oração.
8 Most important of all, love each other earnestly/wholeheartedly, because if we love others [PRS], we will just ignore many of the sinful things that [they do to us].
E, acima de tudo, seja sincero em seu amor entre vocês, pois o amor cobre uma multidão de pecados.
9 Provide food and a place to sleep for those [who come to your community], [and do it] without complaining.
Be hospitaleiros uns com os outros, sem resmungar.
10 Believers should all use the spiritual gifts that God has given them to serve others. They should manage/use well the various gifts that God has kindly given them.
Como cada um recebeu um dom, empreguem-no no serviço uns aos outros, como bons administradores da graça de Deus em suas diversas formas.
11 Those who speak [to the congregation] should do that as though they are speaking the [very] words of God. Those who do kind things to others should do it with the strength that God gives them, in order that God may be honored by all this {that all this may honor God} as Jesus Christ [enables us to do it. I pray that we will] praise [God] (OR, [Jesus]) and allow him [to rule over us] forever. (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōn g165)
Se alguém fala, que seja como se fossem as próprias palavras de Deus. Se alguém serve, que seja como da força que Deus fornece, para que em tudo Deus seja glorificado através de Jesus Cristo, a quem pertence a glória e o domínio para todo o sempre. Amém. (aiōn g165)
12 You whom I love, do not be surprised about the painful things that you are suffering [because you belong to Christ]. [Those] things are [testing you as metals are tested by people putting them] in a fire. Do not think that something strange is happening to you.
Querido, não se espante com a prova ardente que lhe aconteceu para testá-lo, como se uma coisa estranha lhe acontecesse.
13 Instead, rejoice that you are suffering the same kinds of things that Christ endured. Rejoice when [you suffer], in order that you may also be very glad [DOU] when Christ returns and reveals how glorious/wonderful he is.
Mas, porque sois participantes dos sofrimentos de Cristo, regozijai-vos, para que, na revelação de sua glória, também vos regozijeis com uma alegria excessiva.
14 If you are insulted {If [people] insult you} because you believe in Christ [MTY], [God is] pleased with you, because it shows that the Spirit of God, the Spirit who [reveals how] great [God is], lives within you.
Se você é insultado pelo nome de Cristo, você é abençoado, porque o Espírito da glória e de Deus repousa sobre você. De sua parte ele é blasfemado, mas de sua parte ele é glorificado.
15 If you suffer, do not let that suffering be the result of your being a murderer or a thief or as a result of doing some other evil thing, or as a result of interfering in someone else’s affairs.
Mas que nenhum de vocês sofra como assassino, ou ladrão, ou malfeitor, ou intrometido nos assuntos dos outros homens.
16 But if you suffer because of being a Christian, do not be ashamed about it. Instead, praise God that you are suffering because of belonging to Christ [MTY].
Mas se um de vocês sofrer por ser cristão, que não tenha vergonha; mas que glorifique a Deus neste assunto.
17 I say that, because it is now time for God to begin judging people, and first he will judge those who belong [MTY] to him. Since he will judge us believers first, think about the terrible things that will happen to [RHQ] those who do not obey the good message that comes from him!
Pois chegou a hora do julgamento começar com a família de Deus. Se começar por nós, o que acontecerá àqueles que não obedecem à Boa Nova de Deus?
18 [That will be as it] is written in the Scriptures, [Many] righteous people [will have to suffer] many [difficult trials before going to heaven]. So ungodly and sinful people will surely have to suffer [much severe punishment from God]!
“Se é difícil para os justos serem salvos, o que acontecerá com os ímpios e os pecadores”?
19 Therefore, those who suffer because of its being God’s will that they suffer [because of being Christians] should commit themselves to God, the one who created them and the one who always does what he promises to do. And they should continue to do what is right.
Portanto, que também aqueles que sofrem segundo a vontade de Deus em fazer o bem confiem suas almas a Ele, como a um Criador fiel.
