1 Peter 2
1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,
Odbacite dakle svaku pakost i svaku prijevaru i licemjerje i zavist i sva opadanja,
2 as newborn babies, long for the pure spiritual milk, that with it you may grow,
I budite željni razumnoga i pravoga mlijeka, kao novoroðena djeca, da o njemu uzrastete za spasenije;
3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
Jer okusiste da je blag Gospod.
4 Come to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.
Kad doðete k njemu, kao kamenu živu, koji je, istina, od ljudi odbaèen, ali od Boga izabran i pribran:
5 You also as living stones are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
I vi kao živo kamenje zidajte se u kuæu duhovnu i sveštenstvo sveto, da se prinose prinosi duhovni, koji su Bogu povoljni, kroz Isusa Hrista.
6 Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious. He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”
Jer u pismu stoji napisano: evo meæem u Sionu kamen krajeugalan izbrani i skupocjeni; i ko njega vjeruje neæe se postidjeti.
7 For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,”
Vama dakle koji vjerujete èast je; a onima koji se protive kamen koji odbaciše zidari on posta glava od ugla, i kamen spoticanja i stijena sablazni:
8 and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
Na koji se i spotièu koji se protive rijeèi, na što su i odreðeni.
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
A vi ste izbrani rod, carsko sveštenstvo, sveti narod, narod dobitka, da objavite dobrodjetelji onoga koji vas dozva iz tame k èudnome vidjelu svome;
10 In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Koji nekad ne bijaste narod, a sad ste narod Božij; koji ne bijaste pomilovani, a sad ste pomilovani.
11 Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,
Ljubazni! molim vas, kao došljake i goste, da se èuvate od tjelesnijeh želja, koje vojuju na dušu.
12 having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good works and glorify God in the day of visitation.
A vladajte se dobro meðu neznabošcima, da bi za ono za što vas opadaju kao zloèince, vidjevši vaša dobra djela, hvalili Boga u dan pohoðenja.
13 Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme,
Budite dakle pokorni svakoj vlasti èovjeèijoj, Gospoda radi: ako caru, kao gospodaru;
14 or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
Ako li knezovima, kao njegovijem poslanicima za osvetu zloèincima, a za hvalu dobrotvorima.
15 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
Jer je tako volja Božija da dobrijem djelima zadržavate neznanje bezumnijeh ljudi.
16 Live as free people, yet not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
Kao slobodni, a ne kao da biste imali slobodu za pokrivaè pakosti, nego kao sluge Božije.
17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
Poštujte svakoga: braæu ljubite, Boga se bojte, cara poštujte.
18 Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.
Sluge! budite pokorni sa svakijem strahom gospodarima ne samo dobrima i krotkima nego i zlima.
19 For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.
Jer je ovo ugodno pred Bogom ako Boga radi podnese ko žalosti, stradajuæi na pravdi.
20 For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.
Jer kakva je hvala ako za krivicu muke trpite? Nego ako dobro èineæi muke trpite, ovo je ugodno pred Bogom.
21 For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,
Jer ste na to i pozvani, jer i Hristos postrada za nas, i nama ostavi ugled da idemo njegovijem tragom;
22 who didn’t sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.”
Koji grijeha ne uèini, niti se naðe prijevara u ustima njegovijem;
23 When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.
Koji ne psova kad ga psovaše; ne prijeti kad strada; nego se oslanjaše na onoga koji pravo sudi;
24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.
Koji grijehe naše sam iznese na tijelu svojemu na drvo, da za grijehe umremo, i za pravdu živimo; kojega se ranom iscijeliste.
25 For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
Jer bijaste kao izgubljene ovce, koje nemaju pastira; no sad se obratiste k pastiru i vladici duša svojijeh.
