1 Péter 1
1 Péter, Jézus Krisztusnak apostola, a Pontuszban, Galáciában, Kappadóciában, Ázsiában és Bitiniában elszéledt jövevényeknek,
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].
2 akik ki vannak választva az Atya Isten eleve elrendelése szerint, a Lélek megszentelése által, a Jézus Krisztus vérével való meghintésre: Kegyelem és békesség adassék nektek bőségesen.
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.
3 Áldott az Isten, a mi Urunk Jézus Krisztus Atyja, aki az ő nagy irgalmasságából újjá szült minket élő reménységre a Jézus Krisztusnak a halálból való feltámadása által,
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].
4 romolhatatlan, szeplőtelen és hervadhatatlan örökségre, amely a mennyekben van fenntartva számunkra,
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.
5 akiket Isten hatalma őriz hit által az üdvösségre, amely készen van, hogy az utolsó időben nyilvánvalóvá legyen.
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].
6 Ebben örvendeztek, noha most meg is kellett szomorodnotok különféle kísértések miatt,
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]
7 hogy a ti kipróbált hitetek, ami sokkal becsesebb a veszendő, de tűzben kipróbált aranynál, tisztességre, dicsőségre méltónak találtasson a Jézus Krisztus megjelenésekor.
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.
8 Akit noha nem láttok, szerettek, akiben, noha most nem látjátok, de hisztek, és kibeszélhetetlen és dicsőült örömmel örvendeztek,
You love [Jesus], although you have not seen him. Although you do not see him now, you rejoice very much [DOU]
9 mert eléritek hitetek célját, lelketek üdvösségét.
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 Ezt az üdvösséget keresték és kutatták a próféták, akik a nektek szánt kegyelemről jövendöltek,
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.
11 kutatva, hogy melyik vagy milyen időre jelentette azt ki a Krisztusnak bennük lévő Lelke, aki eleve bizonyságot tett a Krisztus szenvedéseiről és az ezeket követő dicsőségről.
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.
12 Akiknek megjelentetett, hogy nem maguknak, hanem nekünk szolgáltak azokkal, amelyeket most hirdetnek nektek azok, akik prédikálták nektek az evangéliumot a mennyből küldött Szentlélek által, amibe angyalok vágyakoznak beletekinteni.
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].
13 Ezért tehát felövezve lelketeket, mint józanok, tökéletesen reménykedjetek abban a kegyelemben, amelyet Jézus Krisztus megjelenésekor hoz nektek.
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].
14 Mint engedelmes gyermekek ne szabjátok magatokat korábbi kívánságaitokhoz, amelyek tudatlanságtok idején voltak bennetek,
[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].
15 hanem amiképpen szent az, aki elhívott titeket, ti is szentek legyetek egész életetekben.
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,
16 Mert meg van írva: „Szentek legyetek, mert én szent vagyok“.
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).”
17 Ha pedig Atyának hívjátok őt, aki személyválogatás nélkül ítél, kinek-kinek cselekedete szerint, félelemmel töltsétek jövevénységetek idejét,
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].
18 tudva, hogy nem veszendő dolgokon, ezüstön vagy aranyon váltattatok meg atyáitoktól örökölt hiábavaló életetekből,
[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.
19 hanem drága véren, a hibátlan és szeplőtlen Báránynak, Krisztusnak a vérén.
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].
20 Ő ugyan eleve, a világ teremtése előtt kiválasztatott, de az idők végén megjelent értetek.
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 Ti Általa hisztek Istenben, aki feltámasztotta őt a halálból és dicsőséget adott neki, hogy a ti hitetek Istenbe vetett reménység is legyen.
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].
22 Tisztítsátok meg lelketeket az igazság iránt való engedelmességben a képmutatás nélküli atyafiúi szeretetre a Lélek által, és egymást tiszta szívből, buzgón szeressétek,
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.
23 mint akik ujjá születtetek nem romlandó, de romolhatatlan magból Isten igéje által, ami megmarad örökké. (aiōn g165)
[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)
24 „Mert minden test olyan, mint a fű és az embernek minden dicsősége olyan, mint a fű virága. Megszárad a fű, és virága elhull,
[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,
