1 Peter 4
1 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
Kad nu Kristus par mums ir cietis miesā, tad apbruņojaties ar to pašu prātu, - jo kas cieš miesā, tas mitās no grēkiem, -
2 that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
Ka miesā būdami to vēl atliekamo laiku vairs nedzīvojat cilvēku kārībām, bet Dieva prātam.
3 For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
Jo tas ir gan, ka to pagājušo dzīvības laiku pēc pagānu prāta esam pavadījuši un staigājuši iekš bezkaunīgām kārībām, vīna plītešanām, rīšanām, dzeršanām un negantām elkadievībām.
4 They think it is strange that you don’t run with them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you.
Tā tiem ir sveša lieta, ka jūs ar tiem līdz nestaigājiet tai pašā palaidnības postā, un tādēļ tie zaimo.
5 They will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
Šie atbildēšanu dos Tam, kas ir gatavs tiesāt dzīvus un mirušus;
6 For to this end the Good News was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit.
Jo tāpēc arī mirušiem evaņģēlijs ir sludināts, ka tie kā cilvēki gan top sodīti miesā, bet Dievam dzīvo garā,
7 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.
Visu lietu gals ir tuvu.
8 And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
Tad nu esiet prātīgi un modrīgi uz Dieva lūgšanām. Pār visām lietām turiet sirsnīgu mīlestību savā starpā, jo mīlestība apsedz grēku pulku.
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
Dodiet mājas vietu cits citam labprāt bez kurnēšanas.
10 As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
Lai viens otram kalpo, ikviens ar to dāvanu, kā tas ir dabūjis, kā labi nama turētāji par tām dažādām Dieva dāvanām.
11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Ja kas runā, tas lai runā tā kā Dieva vārdus; ja kam kāds amats, lai tas to izdara itin pēc tā spēka, ko Dievs pasniedz, ka visās lietās Dievs top godināts caur Jēzu Kristu, kam pieder gods un vara mūžīgi mūžam. Āmen. (aiōn g165)
12 Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
Mīļie, nebrīnaties par to bēdu karstumu jūsu starpā, kas jums notiek par pārbaudīšanu, tā kā jums uzietu sveša lieta;
13 But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
Bet itin kā jums ir daļa pie Kristus ciešanām, tā priecājaties, ka jūs arī Viņa godības parādīšanā varētu priecāties un gavilēt.
14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
Ja topat nievāti Kristus vārda dēļ, svētīgi esiet! Jo tas godības un Dieva Gars dus uz jums; caur viņiem Tas top zaimots, bet caur jums Tas top pagodināts.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler in other men’s matters.
Jo neviens no jums lai necieš kā slepkava vai zaglis vai ļaundarītājs vai kā tāds, kas jaucās svešā amatā.
16 But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.
Bet ja kas cieš kā kristīgs cilvēks, tad lai tas nekaunas, bet Dievu pagodina šinī lietā.
17 For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who don’t obey the Good News of God?
Jo laiks ir klāt, ka sodība iesākās pie Dieva nama; bet ja tā papriekš pie mums iesākās, kāds būs gals tiem, kas Dieva evaņģēlijam nav paklausījuši;
18 “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?”
Un ja taisnais tik ar mokām top izglābts, kur paliks bezdievīgais un grēcinieks?
19 Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
Tad nu arī tiem, kas pēc Dieva prāta cieš, iekš laba darīšanas, būs pavēlēt savas dvēseles Viņam, kā Tam uzticīgam Radītājam.
