1 Peter 1
1 I, Peter, who [have been appointed by] Jesus Christ {one whom Jesus Christ [has appointed]} to be an apostle, [am writing this letter] to you believers whom God has chosen to belong to him. [You are living] in [the Roman provinces of] Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia. [Just like the Jews who lived in Israel long ago were] scattered [to other countries far from their homes] [MET], you now live [far from] heaven, which is [your true home].
Apoštol Petr píše přistěhovalcům roztroušeným v Pontu, Galacii, Kappadokii, Asii a Bitynii.
2 God our Father previously chose you, and his Spirit has set you apart in order that you would obey Jesus Christ. He did that in order that [just like Moses] sprinkled [the Israelites with blood when God established the old covenant] [MET], [Jesus would establish his new covenant with you] with the blood [that flowed from his body when he died]. May God act very kindly to you, and may he give you much [inner] peace.
Drazí přátelé! Bůh vás již dávno znal a vyvolil vás, abyste se stali jeho dětmi. Duch svatý působil ve vašich srdcích, očistil vás krví Ježíše Krista, abyste žili životem jemu podobným. Ať vám Bůh bohatě žehná a vysvobozuje vás od všech úzkostí a strachů!
3 Praise God, who is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! Because he has been very merciful to [us, he has given us new life] [MET]. Because he has caused Jesus Christ to become alive again after he died, he has enabled us to live very confidently; that is, to fully expect to receive the things [that God/he has promised to give us].
Díky a čest vzdejme Bohu, Otci našeho Pána Ježíše Krista, že pro jeho milosrdenství jsme mohli začít zcela nový život plný naděje, protože Ježíš vstal z mrtvých.
4 He has enabled us to expect to receive an absolutely imperishable/indestructible [TRI] inheritance that has been {that [God] has} preserved in heaven for us.
Teď patříte do jeho rodiny, čeká vás tedy skvělé dědictví, které nepodléhá žádným změnám ani nemůže být zkaženo. Je pro vás připraveno v nebi.
5 God, by his mighty power, is guarding you as you trust in Jesus. [He is keeping you safe so] that he may, at the end of the time in which we now live (OR, when Jesus returns), completely deliver you [from Satan’s power].
Protože věříte, Boží moc vás chrání, abyste došli až k tomu konečnému cíli – ke spáse, která se v plnosti ukáže v blížícím se posledním dnu.
6 You rejoice because of what will happen then, but now you are grieving for a short time while [God is allowing] you to be tested {[various things to] test you [MET]}, [as precious metals are tested] {[someone tests precious metals]} [to see if they are pure]. [These trials that you are experiencing are necessary]
To je důvod k velké radosti, i když vím, že jste nyní asi v úzkostech pro různá pokušení a zkoušky, kterými procházíte.
7 to prove that you really do trust in Jesus. His proving that will be more valuable than gold, [which does not last forever even] though it is purified [by being put] {someone tries to make it pure by [putting it]} [in a hot] fire. As a result of your passing the test [and proving that you really do trust in Jesus], God will honor you very highly [TRI] when Jesus Christ comes again.
Zkoušky přicházejí proto, aby se ukázalo, zda vaše víra je pevná a čistá. Vždyť i zlato se čistí v ohni a vaše víra má v Božích očích nesrovnatelně vyšší hodnotu než pouhé zlato. Zvítězí-li vaše víra v těchto zkouškách, Ježíš vás radostně přijme, až přijde v ten poslední den.
8 You love [Jesus], although you have not seen him. Although you do not see him now, you rejoice very much [DOU]
I když jste ho nikdy neviděli, přece ho milujete, a ačkoliv ho ještě nevidíte, přece v něho věříte. A prožíváte nezměrnou radost z toho, že dosahujete cíle své víry – spasení,
9 because you are experiencing the result of your believing in him; that is, [God] is saving you [SYN] [from the guilt of your sins].
10 As for those who [long ago] spoke messages that God had revealed to them about how God would act kindly toward you in ways which you did not deserve, they (investigated very carefully/tried very hard to learn) [DOU] about how God would save you.
které se snažili odhalit a poznat již proroci.
11 They wanted to know whom the Spirit of Christ that was in them was referring to, and what time he was talking about, when he told beforehand that the Messiah would suffer [and die], and that glorious/wonderful things would happen [to him and to us] afterwards.
Předpovídali a pátrali po tom, na který čas a na jaké okolnosti poukazoval Duch svatý, který v nich působil a který prorokoval o Kristově utrpení a slávě.
12 It was revealed to {[God] told} them that it was not for their own sake that he was revealing these things to them, but that it was for your sake. It was these things that were proclaimed to you by those who told you the message [about Christ {that those who told you the message about Christ proclaimed to you]}. They proclaimed these things to you because the Holy Spirit whom [God] sent from heaven [enabled them to do that]. And even angels would like to know more about these [truths about how God saves us].
Bylo jim však zjeveno, že k těmto událostem nedojde za jejich života, ale o mnoho let později – za vašeho života. Jsou to pravdy, které vám byly zvěstovány, rozhlašovali je lidé zmocnění týmž z nebe seslaným Duchem svatým. Jsou to tak zvláštní a úžasné věci, že i andělé v nebi touží do nich důkladněji nahlédnout.
13 Therefore, [prepare your minds] [MET] [as people] fasten their belts around their waists [to prepare to work]. [What I mean is that] you should (discipline your minds/control what you think about), and by doing that conduct your lives fully and confidently expecting to receive the good things that [God will] kindly [do for you] when Jesus Christ returns [from heaven].
Vaše mysl ať je připravena, buďte střízliví a ostražití. Celou svou naději upřete k daru Boží milosti, který vám bude dán při návratu Ježíše Krista.
14 [And because you should obey your heavenly Father] [SIM], as children [ought to] obey their fathers [here on earth], do not do the evil things that you used to desire to do when you did not know [God’s truth].
Žijte před Bohem jako jeho poslušné děti. Nedopusťte, aby váš charakter byl formován myšlením vašeho dřívějšího života bez Boha.
15 Instead, just like God, the one who chose you [to belong to him], is (holy/separate from evil), you also must be (holy/separate from evil) in everything that you do,
Naopak, buďte svatí – to je čistí – ve všem podobně jako ten, který vás pozval, abyste se stali Božími dětmi.
16 because it is {[someone/Moses] has} written [in the Scriptures that God said], “You must be (holy/separate from evil) because I am (holy/separate from evil).”
Vždyť v Písmu je psáno: „Buďte svatí, neboť já jsem svatý.“
17 God is the one who (impartially/without favoritism) judges what each person does. Since you call him ‘Father’, live (reverently/with great respect for him) during the time that you are living here on earth. [While you are living here, you are] like exiles/foreigners [MET] [because you are away from heaven, which is your true home].
Pamatujte, že u vašeho nebeského Otce, ke kterému se modlíte, neexistuje při soudu žádná protekce. Bude vás soudit naprosto spravedlivě podle vašeho jednání; a tak pokud jste zde na zemi, jednejte vždy s uctivým zřetelem k němu.
18 [Live reverently] because you know that it was not with things that will not last forever, things like gold and silver, that [God] bought you to free you from your useless life-style that you learned from your ancestors.
Víte přece, čím bylo zaplaceno to, že nemusíte žít životem bez smyslu a cíle, jak jste jej přejali od svých předků. Nebylo to zlatem a stříbrem, které ztrácejí svou hodnotu,
19 Instead, [it was] with the precious blood of Christ [that flowed from his body when he died that God bought you. Christ’s death was a perfect sacrifice for us] [MET], [like] the lambs that [the Jewish priests sacrificed were] perfect, without any blemishes/defects/flaws or spots [DOU].
ale drahou krví Kristovou. On byl k tomu jako beránek bez vady a bez poskvrny předem vyhlédnut před stvořením světa, ale objevil se kvůli vám až teď v poslední době.
20 Christ was chosen [by God] {[God] chose Christ} before the world was created {[he] created the world}. But it was not until now, when the time [in which we are living will soon] end, that he was revealed for your sake.
21 Because of what Christ has done, you are trusting in God, who caused Christ to become alive again after he died, and greatly honored him. As a result, God is the one in whom you are trusting and confidently expecting [that he will do great things for you].
Když znáte Krista, věříte i v Boha, který ho vzkřísil z mrtvých a dal mu velkou slávu. A tak vaše víra a naděje může být cele zakotvena v Bohu.
22 Because you have been made pure by obeying the truth, with the result that you sincerely love your fellow believers, continue to love each other earnestly and sincerely/wholeheartedly.
Nyní můžete opravdově milovat každého, protože jste byli očištěni od sobectví a nenávisti tím, že jste přijali Krista. Mějte se proto upřímně a vřele rádi.
23 [I ask you to do this, because you now have] a new life [MET]. It was not [by means of] something that will perish that you received this new life. Instead, it was [by means of] something that will last forever; that is, by believing the life-giving and enduring message of God. (aiōn g165)
Vždyť vám byl dán nový život – ne ten, který jste obdrželi od svých rodičů jako pomíjející dar, ale ten, který jste přijali skrze stále živé Boží slovo a který potrvá věčně. (aiōn g165)
24 [We know that this is true] because, [as the prophet Isaiah wrote], All people [will die] [SIM], like grass [dies]. And all the greatness/honor that people have [will not last forever], like the flowers [SIM] [that grow up] in the grass [do not last long]. The grass withers and the flowers die,
Je totiž pravda, že každý člověk je jako tráva, která zežloutne a uschne, a všechna jeho velikost je jako květ, který opadá.
