1 Peter, 4

1. Since Christ has suffered in the flesh, you also should be armed with the same intention. For he who suffers in the flesh desists from sin,

1. Dakle, buduæi da je Krist trpio u tijelu, i vi se oboružajte istim mišljenjem - jer tko trpi u tijelu okanio se grijeha -

2. so that now he may live, for the remainder of his time in the flesh, not by the desires of men, but by the will of God.

2. da vrijeme što vam u tijelu još preostaje proživite ne više po ljudskim požudama nego po Božjoj volji.

3. For the time that has passed is sufficient to have fulfilled the will of the Gentiles, those who have walked in luxuries, lusts, intoxication, feasting, drinking, and the illicit worship of idols.

3. Dosta je uistinu što ste u prošlom vremenu vršili volju pogana, hodeæi u razvratnostima, požudama, pijanèevanjima, pijankama, opijanjima i bezakonièkim idolopoklonstvima.

4. About this, they wonder why you do not rush with them into the same confusion of indulgences, blaspheming.

4. Stoga se èude što se ne slijevate u tu istu rijeku raskalašenosti te proklinju.

5. But they must render an account to him who is prepared to judge the living and the dead.

5. Polagat æe oni raèun Onomu tko je veæ spreman suditi žive i mrtve.

6. For because of this, the Gospel was also preached to the dead, so that they might be judged, certainly, just like men in the flesh, yet also, so that they might live according to God, in the Spirit.

6. Zato je i mrtvima naviješteno evanðelje da osuðeni doduše po ljudsku, u tijelu, žive po Božju - u duhu.

7. But the end of everything draws near. And so, be prudent, and be vigilant in your prayers.

7. Približio se svršetak svega! Osvijestite se i otrijeznite za molitvu!

8. But, before all things, have a constant mutual charity among yourselves. For love covers a multitude of sins.

8. Prije svega imajte žarku ljubav jedni prema drugima jer ljubav pokriva mnoštvo grijeha!

9. Show hospitality to one another without complaining.

9. Gostoljubivo primajte jedni druge bez mrmljanja!

10. Just as each of you has received grace, minister in the same way to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

10. Jedni druge poslužujte - svatko po primljenom daru - kao dobri upravitelji razlièitih Božjih milosti!

11. When anyone speaks, it should be like words of God. When anyone ministers, it should be from the virtue that God provides, so that in all things God may be honored through Jesus Christ. To him is glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

11. Govori li tko? Neka govori kao rijeèi Božje! Poslužuje li tko? Neka poslužuje kao snagom koju daje Bog da se u svemu slavi Bog po Isusu Kristu, komu slava i vlast u vijeke vijekova! Amen.

12. Most beloved, do not choose to sojourn in the passion which is a temptation to you, as if something new might happen to you.

12. Ljubljeni! Ne èudite se požaru što bukti meðu vama da vas iskuša, kao da vam se dogaða štogod neobièno!

13. But instead, commune in the Passion of Christ, and be glad that, when his glory will be revealed, you too may rejoice with exultation.

13. Naprotiv, radujte se kao zajednièari Kristovih patnja da i o Objavljenju njegove slave mognete radosno klicati.

14. If you are reproached for the name of Christ, you will be blessed, because that which is of the honor, glory, and power of God, and that which is of his Spirit, rests upon you.

14. Pogrðuju li vas zbog imena Kristova, blago vama, jer Duh Slave, Duh Božji u vama poèiva.

15. But let none of you suffer for being a murderer, or a thief, or a slanderer, or one who covets what belongs to another.

15. Tek neka nitko od vas ne trpi kao ubojica, ili kradljivac, ili zloèinac, ili makar i kao nametljivac;

16. But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, he should not be ashamed. Instead, he should glorify God in that name.

16. ako li kao kršæanin, neka se ne stidi, nego slavi Boga zbog tog imena.

17. For it is time that judgment begin at the house of God. And if it is first from us, what shall be the end of those who do not believe the Gospel of God?

17. Ta vrijeme je da zapoène Sud - od doma Božjega. No ako veæ od vas zapoèinje, kakav je onda svršetak onih što nisu poslušni Božjem evanðelju?

18. And if the just man will scarcely be saved, where will the impious and the sinner appear?

18. I ako se pravednik jedva spasava, opak i grešnik gdje da se pojavi?

19. Therefore, too, let those who suffer according to the will of God commend their souls by good deeds to the faithful Creator.

19. Stoga oni koji po volji Božjoj trpe, neka dobrim djelima povjere duše svoje vjernom Stvoritelju.
