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].
Pietari, Jesuksen Kristuksen apostoli, valituille muukalaisille, hajalla asuvaisille Pontossa, Galatiassa, Kappadokiassa, Asiassa ja Bityniassa,
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.
Isän Jumalan aivoituksen jälkeen Hengen pyhittämisen kautta, kuuliaisuuteen ja Jesuksen Kristuksen veren priiskottamiseen: armo ja rauha lisääntyköön teille!
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].
Kiitetty olkoon Jumala ja meidän Herran Jesuksen Kristuksen Isä, joka meitä suuresta laupiudestansa on synnyttänyt jälleen elävään toivoon, Jesuksen Kristuksen ylösnousemisen kautta kuolleista,
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.
Katoomattomaan ja saastuttamattomaan ja turmelemattomaan perintöön, joka taivaassa tähdelle pantu on teitä varten,
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].
Jotka Jumalan väellä uskon kautta autuuteen kätketään, joka sitä varten valmistettu on, että se viimeisellä ajalla ilmi tulis.
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]
Jossa te saatte iloita, te, joita nyt vähän aikaa, (jos tarvitaan, ) moninaisilla kiusauksilla vaivataan:
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.
Että teidän uskonne koettelemus paljoa kalliimmaksi löydettäisiin kuin katoova kulta, joka tulessa koetellaan, kiitokseksi, ylistykseksi ja kunniaksi, koska Jesus Kristus ilmaantuu,
8 You love [Jesus], although you have not seen him. Although you do not see him now, you rejoice very much [DOU]
Jota te rakastatte, vaikka ette häntä näe, jonka päälle te myös uskotte, ehkette nyt häntä näe, niin te kuitenkin saatte iloita sanomattomalla ja kunniallisella ilolla,
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].
Ja käsitätte teidän uskonne lopun, sieluin autuuden,
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.
Jota autuutta prophetat ovat etsineet ja tutkineet, jotka teille tulevaista armoa ennustaneet ovat;
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.
Ja ovat tutkineet, millä taikka minkäkaltaisella ajalla Kristuksen Henki, joka heissä oli, ilmoitti, joka oli jo ennen todistanut niistä vaivoista, jotka Kristuksessa ovat, ja siitä kunniasta, joka niiden jälkeen tapahtuva oli:
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].
Joille se ilmoitettu oli, sillä ei he itseänsä sen kautta palvelleet, vaan meitä, jotka nyt teille niiden kautta julistetut ovat, jotka teille evankeliumia saarnanneet ovat Pyhän Hengen kautta, taivaasta lähetetyn, jota enkelit nähdä himoitsevat.
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].
Sentähden vyöttäkäät mielenne kupeet, olkaa raittiit, pankaat täydellinen toivonne siihen armoon, joka teille Jesuksen Kristuksen ilmestyksen kautta taritaan,
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].
Niinkuin kuuliaiset lapset, ei asettaen teitänne niinkuin ennen, kuin te teidän tyhmyydessänne himoissa elitte,
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,
Vaan sen jälkeen, joka teitä kutsunut on, ja on pyhä, olkaat te myös pyhät kaikissa teidän menoissanne.
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).”
Sillä kirjoitettu on: teidän pitää pyhät oleman, sillä minä olen pyhä.
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].
Ja jos te rukoilette sitä Isää, joka tuomitsee kunkin töidensä jälkeen ilman ihmisten muodon katsomista, niin katsokaat, että te teidän viipymisenne ajan pelvossa vaeltaisitte,
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.
Tietäen, ettette ole katoovaisella hopialla eli kullalla lunastetut teidän turhasta menostanne, jonka te isäin säädystä saitte,
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].
Vaan kalliilla Kristuksen verellä, niinkuin viattoman ja puhtaan Karitsan;
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.
Joka tosin jo ennen oli aivottu kuin maailman perustus pantu oli, mutta ilmoitettu viimeisinä aikoina teidän tähtenne,
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].
Jotka hänen kauttansa uskotte Jumalan päälle, joka hänen kuolleista herätti ja hänelle kunnian antoi, että teillä olis usko ja toivo Jumalan päälle.
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.
Ja tehkäät puhtaaksi teidän sielunne totuuden kuuliaisuudessa, Hengen kautta, veljelliseen rakkauteen, joka vilpitöin olis, ja olkaat keskenänne palavaisessa rakkaudessa puhtaasta sydämestä,
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)
Niinkuin ne, jotka jälleen syntyneet ovat, ei katoovaisesta, vaan katoomattomasta siemenestä, elävästä Jumalan sanasta, joka ijankaikkisesti pysyy. (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,
Sillä kaikki liha on niinkuin ruoho ja kaikki ihmisen kunnia niinkuin ruohon kukkanen. Ruoho on kuivunut, ja sen kukkanen lakastunut;
