Первое послание Петра 4
1 Христу убо пострадавшу за ны плотию, и вы в ту же мысль вооружитеся: зане пострадавый плотию, преста от греха,
Since, then, Christ suffered in body, arm yourselves with the same resolve as he; for he who has suffered in body has ceased to sin,
2 во еже не ктому человеческим похотем, но воли Божией прочее во плоти жити время.
and so will live the rest of his earthly life guided, not by human passions, but by the will of God.
3 Довлеет бо вам мимошедшее время жития, волю языческую творившым, хождшым в нечистотах, в похотех, в мужеложстве, в скотоложстве, в помыслех, в пиянстве, в козлогласованиих, в лихоимании и богомерзких идолослужениих:
Surely in the past you have spent time enough living as the Gentiles delight to live. For your path has lain among scenes of debauchery, licentiousness, drunkenness, revelry, hard-drinking, and profane idolatry.
4 о немже дивятся, не сходящымся вам в тоже блуда разлияние, хуляще:
And, because you do not run to the same extremes of profligacy as others, they are astonished, and malign you.
5 иже воздадят слово готову Сущему судити живым и мертвым.
But they will have to answer for their conduct to him who is ready to judge both the living and the dead.
6 На се бо и мертвым благовестися, да суд убо приимут по человеку плотию, поживут же по Бозе духом.
For that was why the Good News was told to the dead also — that, after they have been judged in the body, as men are judged, they might live in the spirit, as God lives.
7 Всем же кончина приближися. Уцеломудритеся убо и трезвитеся в молитвах.
But the end of all things is near. Therefore exercise self-restraint and be calm, that you may be able to pray.
8 Прежде же всех друг ко другу любовь прилежну имейте, зане любовь покрывает множество грехов.
Above all things, let your love for one another be earnest, for ‘Love throws a veil over countless sins.’
9 Страннолюбцы друг ко другу, без роптании.
Never grudge hospitality to one another.
10 Кийждо якоже прият дарование, между себе сим служаще, яко добрии строителие различныя благодати Божия.
Whatever the gift that each has received, use it in the service of others, as good stewards of the varied bounty of God.
11 Аще кто глаголет, яко словеса Божия: аще кто служит, яко от крепости, юже подает Бог: да о всем славится Бог Иисус Христом, Емуже есть слава и держава во веки веков. Аминь. (aiōn g165)
When any one speaks, let him speak as one who is delivering the oracles of God. When any one is endeavouring to serve others, let him do so in reliance on the strength which God supplies; so that in everything God may be honour ed through Jesus Christ — to whom be ascribed all honour and might for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Возлюбленнии, не дивитеся еже в вас раждежению ко искушению вам бываему, яко чужду вам случающуся:
Dear friends, do not be astonished at the fiery trials that you are passing through, to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.
13 но понеже приобщаетеся Христовым страстем, радуйтеся, яко да и в явление славы Его возрадуетеся веселящеся.
No, the more you share the sufferings of the Christ, the more may you rejoice, that, when the time comes for the manifestation of his Glory, you may rejoice and exult.
14 Аще укоряеми бываете о имени Христове, блажени есте яко Славы и Божий Дух на вас почивает: онеми убо хулится, а вами прославляется.
If you are reviled for bearing the name of Christ, count yourselves blessed; because the divine Glory and the Spirit of God are resting upon you.
15 Да не кто убо от вас постраждет яко убийца, или яко тать, или яко злодей, или яко чуждопосетитель:
I need hardly say that no one among you must suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a criminal, or for interfering in matters which do not concern Christians.
16 аще ли же яко Христианин, да не стыдится, да прославляет же Бога в части сей.
But, if a man suffers as a Christian, do not let him be ashamed of it; let him bring honour to God even though he bears that name.
17 Яко время начати суд от дому Божия: аще же прежде от вас, кая кончина противящымся Божию Евангелию?
For the time has come for judgment to begin with the House of God; and, if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who reject God’s Good News?
18 И аще праведник едва спасется, нечестивый и грешный где явится?
If ‘a good man is saved only with difficulty, what will become of the godless and the sinful?’
19 Темже и страждущии по воли Божией, яко верну Зиждителю да предадят душы своя во благотворении.
Therefore, I say, let those who suffer, because God wills it so, commit their lives into the hands of a faithful Creator, and persevere in doing right.
