1 Peter 2 (SAR)

1Odložite dakle svaku zloću i svaku prijevaru, himbe i zavisti i sva klevetanja.Rid yourselves, therefore, of all malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander.

2Kao novorođenčad žudite za duhovnim, nepatvorenim mlijekom da po njemu uzrastete za spasenje,Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,

3ako ste doista okusili kako je dobar Gospodin.now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.

4Pristupite k njemu, Kamenu živomu što ga, istina, ljudi odbaciše, ali je u očima Božjim izabran, dragocjen,As you come to Him, the living stone, rejected by men but chosen and precious in God’s sight,

5pa se kao živo kamenje ugrađujte u duhovni Dom za sveto svećenstvo da prinosite žrtve duhovne, ugodne Bogu po Isusu Kristu.you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

6Stoga stoji u Pismu: Evo postavljam na Sionu kamen odabrani, dragocjeni kamen ugaoni: Tko u nj vjeruje, ne, neće se postidjeti.For it stands in Scripture: “See, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”

7Vama dakle koji vjerujete - čast! A onima koji ne vjeruju - kamen koji odbaciše graditelji postade kamen zaglavniTo you who believe, then, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,”

8i kamen spoticanja, stijena posrtanja; oni se o nj spotiču, neposlušni Riječi, za što su i određeni.and, “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word—and to this they were appointed.

9A vi ste rod izabrani, kraljevsko svećenstvo, sveti puk, narod stečeni da naviještate silna djela Onoga koji vas iz tame pozva k divnom svjetlu svojemu;But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

10vi, nekoć Ne-narod, a sada Narod Božji; vi Ne-mili, a sada Mili.Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

11Ljubljeni! Zaklinjem vas da se kao pridošlice i putnici klonite putenih požuda koje vojuju protiv duše;Beloved, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from the desires of the flesh, which war against your soul.

12življenje vaše među poganima neka bude uzorno da upravo onim za što vas sada potvaraju kao zločince, pošto promotre vaša dobra djela, proslave Boga u dan pohoda.Conduct yourselves with such honor among the Gentiles that, though they slander you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us.

13Pokoravajte se svakoj ljudskoj ustanovi radi Gospodina: bilo kralju kao vrhovniku,Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to the king as the supreme authority,

14bilo upraviteljima jer ih on šalje da kazne zločince, a pohvale one koji dobro čine.or to governors as those sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.

15Doista, ovo je Božja volja: da čineći dobro ušutkate neznanje bezumnika.For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorance of foolish men.

16Kao slobodni ljudi - ali ne kao oni kojima je sloboda tek pokrivalom zloće, već kao Božje sluge -Live in freedom, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.

17sve poštujte, bratstvo ljubite, Boga se bojte, kralja častite!Treat everyone with high regard: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.

18Sluge, budite sa svim poštovanjem pokorni gospodarima, ne samo dobrima i blagima nego i naopakima.Servants, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but even to those who are unreasonable.

19To je uistinu milost ako tko radi savjesti, radi Boga podnosi nevolje trpeći nepravedno.For if anyone endures the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God, this is to be commended.

20Kakve li slave doista ako za grijehe udarani strpljivo podnosite? No ako dobro čineći trpite pa strpljivo podnosite, to je Bogu milo.How is it to your credit if you are beaten for doing wrong and you endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.

21Ta na to ste pozvani jer i Krist je trpio za vas i ostavio vam primjer da idete stopama njegovim.For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His footsteps:

22On koji grijeha ne učini nit mu usta prijevaru izustiše;“He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth.”

23on koji na uvredu nije uvredom uzvraćao i mučen nije prijetio, prepuštajući to Sucu pravednom;When they heaped abuse on Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats, but entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly.

24on koji u tijelu svom grijehe naše ponese na drvo da umrijevši grijesima pravednosti živimo; on čijom se modricom izliječiste.He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. “By His stripes you are healed.”

25Doista, poput ovaca lutaste, ali se sada obratiste k pastiru i čuvaru duša svojih.For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
