1 Pedro 1
1 Pedro, apóstol de Jesu Cristo, a los extranjeros que están esparcidos en Ponto, en Galacia, en Capadocia, en Asia, y en Bitinia:
Peter, an Apostle of Jesus Christ: To God's own people scattered over the earth, who are living as foreigners in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Roman Asia, and Bithynia,
2 Elegidos según la presciencia de Dios el Padre, en santificación del Espíritu, para obedecer, y ser rociados con la sangre de Jesu Cristo: Gracia y paz os sea multiplicada.
chosen in accordance with the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, with a view to their obedience and to their being sprinkled with the blood of Jesus Christ. May more and more grace and peace be granted to you.
3 Alabado sea el Dios y Padre de nuestro Señor Jesu Cristo, el cual según su grande misericordia nos ha reengendrado en esperanza viva, por la resurrección de Jesu Cristo de entre los muertos;
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in His great mercy has begotten us anew to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 Para la herencia incorruptible, y que no puede contaminarse, ni marchitarse, conservada en los cielos para vosotros,
to an inheritance imperishable, undefiled and unfading, which has been reserved in Heaven for you,
5 Que sois guardados en la virtud de Dios por medio de la fe, para alcanzar la salvación que está aparejada para ser manifestada en el postrimero tiempo.
whom God in His power is guarding through faith for a salvation that even now stands ready for unveiling at the End of the Age.
6 En lo cual vosotros os regocijáis grandemente, estando al presente un poco de tiempo, si es necesario, afligidos en diversas tentaciones.
Rejoice triumphantly in the prospect of this, even if now, for a short time, you are compelled to sorrow amid various trials.
7 Para que la prueba de vuestra fe, muy más preciosa que el oro, (el cual perece, mas empero es probado con fuego, ) sea hallada en alabanza, y gloria, y honra, cuando Jesu Cristo fuere manifestado:
The sorrow comes in order that the testing of your faith--being more precious than that of gold, which perishes and yet is proved by fire--may be found to result in praise and glory and honour at the re-appearing of Jesus Christ.
8 Al cual no habiendo visto, le amáis: en el cual creyendo, aunque al presente no le veais, os alegráis con gozo inefable y lleno de gloria;
Him you love, though your eyes have never looked on Him. In Him, though at present you cannot see Him, you nevertheless trust, and triumph with a joy which is unspeakable and is crowned with glory,
9 Recibiendo el fin de vuestra fe, que es, la salud de vuestras almas.
while you are securing as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.
10 De la cual salud los profetas (que profetizaron de la gracia que había de venir en vosotros) han inquirido, y diligentemente buscado:
There were Prophets who earnestly inquired about that salvation, and closely searched into it--even those who spoke beforehand of the grace which was to come to you.
11 Escudriñando cuándo, y en qué punto de tiempo significaba el Espíritu de Cristo que estaba en ellos: el cual antes anunciaba las aflicciones que habían de venir a Cristo, y las glorias después de ellas:
They were eager to know the time which the Spirit of Christ within them kept indicating, or the characteristics of that time, when they solemnly made known beforehand the sufferings that were to come upon Christ and the glories which would follow.
12 A los cuales fue revelado, que no para sí mismos, sino para nosotros administraban las cosas, que ahora os son anunciadas de los que os han predicado el evangelio, por el Espíritu Santo enviado del cielo: en las cuales cosas desean mirar los ángeles.
To them it was revealed that they were serving not themselves but you, when they foretold the very things which have now been openly declared to you by those who, having been taught by the Holy Spirit which had been sent from Heaven, brought you the Good News. Angels long to stoop and look into these things.
13 Por lo cual teniendo los lomos de vuestro entendimiento ceñidos, y sobrios, esperád perfectamente en la gracia que se os ha de traer en la manifestación de Jesu Cristo:
Therefore gird up your minds and fix your hopes calmly and unfalteringly upon the boon that is soon to be yours, at the re-appearing of Jesus Christ.
14 Como hijos obedientes, no conformándoos con las concupiscencias que antes teníais estando en vuestra ignorancia;
And, since you delight in obedience, do not shape your lives by the cravings which used to dominate you in the time of your ignorance,
15 Mas como aquel que os ha llamado es santo, semejantemente también vosotros sed santos en todo proceder;
but--in imitation of the holy One who has called you--you also must be holy in all your habits of life.
16 Porque escrito está: Sed santos, porque yo soy santo.
Because it stands written, "You are to be holy, because I am holy."
17 Y si invocáis por Padre a aquel que sin acepción de personas juzga según la obra de cada uno, conversád en temor todo el tiempo de vuestra peregrinación:
And if you address as your Father Him who judges impartially in accordance with each man's actions, then spend in fear the time of your stay here on earth,
18 Sabiendo que habéis sido rescatados de vuestra vana conversación, (la cual recibisteis de vuestros padres, ) no con cosas corruptibles, como oro o plata;
knowing, as you do, that it was not with a ransom of perishable wealth, such as silver or gold, that you were set free from your frivolous habits of life which had been handed down to you from your forefathers,
19 Mas con la sangre preciosa de Cristo, como de un cordero sin mancha, y sin contaminación:
but with the precious blood of Christ--as of an unblemished and spotless lamb.
20 Ya preordinado ciertamente de antes de la fundación del mundo, pero manifestado en los postrimeros tiempos por amor de vosotros,
He was pre-destined indeed to this work, even before the creation of the world, but has been plainly manifested in these last days for the sake of you who, through Him,
21 Que por medio de él creeis en Dios, el cual le resucitó de entre los muertos, y le ha dado gloria, para que vuestra fe y esperanza sea en Dios:
are faithful to God, who raised Him from among the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are resting upon God.
22 Habiendo purificado vuestras almas en la obediencia de la verdad, por medio del Espíritu, para un amor hermanable, sin fingimiento amáos unos a otros entrañablemente de corazón puro:
Now that, through your obedience to the truth, you have purified your souls for cherishing sincere brotherly love, you must love another heartily and fervently.
23 Siendo renacidos, no de simiente corruptible, sino de incorruptible, por la palabra del Dios viviente, y que permanece para siempre. (aiōn g165)
For you have been begotten again by God's ever-living and enduring word from a germ not of perishable, but of imperishable life. (aiōn g165)
24 Porque toda carne es como yerba, y toda la gloria del hombre como la flor de la yerba: la yerba se secó, y la flor se cayó;
"All mankind resemble the herbage, and all their beauty is like its flowers. The herbage dries up, and its flowers drop off;
