1 Peter 4

NEW JERUSALEM	Biblija Hrvatski
1 As Christ has undergone bodily suffering, you too should arm yourselves with the same conviction, thatanyone who has undergone bodily suffering has broken with sin,	1 Dakle, budući da je Krist trpio u tijelu, i vi se oboružajte istim mišljenjem – jer tko trpi u tijelu, okanio se grijeha –
2 because for the rest of life on earth that person is ruled not by human passions but only by the wil ofGod.	2 da vrijeme što vam u tijelu još preostaje proživite ne više po ljudskim požudama, nego po Božjoj volji.
3 You spent quite long enough in the past living the sort of life that gentiles choose to live, behaving in adebauched way, giving way to your passions, drinking to excess, having wild parties and drunken orgies andsacrilegiously worshipping false gods.	3 Dosta je uistinu što ste u prošlom vremenu vršili volju poganâ, hodeći u razvratnostima, požudama, pijančevanjima, pijankama, opijanjima i bezakoničkim idolopoklonstvima.
4 So people are taken aback that you no longer hurry off with them to join this flood which is rushingdown to ruin, and then abuse you for it.	4 Stoga se čude što se ne slijevate u tu istu rijeku raskalašenosti te proklinju.
5 They wil have to answer for it before the judge who is to judge the living and the dead.	5 Polagat će oni račun Onomu tko je već spreman suditi žive i mrtve.
6 And this was why the gospel was brought to the dead as wel , so that, though in their bodies they hadundergone the judgement that faces al humanity, in their spirit they might enjoy the life of God.	6 Zato je i mrtvima naviješteno evanđelje da osuđeni doduše po ljudsku, u tijelu, žive po Božju – u duhu.
7 The end of all things is near, so keep your minds calm and sober for prayer.	7 Približio se svršetak svega! Osvijestite se i otrijeznite za molitvu!
8 Above al preserve an intense love for each other, since love covers over many a sin.	8 Prije svega imajte žarku ljubav jedni prema drugima jer ljubav pokriva mnoštvo grijeha!
9 Welcome each other into your houses without grumbling.	9 Gostoljubivo primajte jedni druge bez mrmljanja!
10 Each one of you has received a special grace, so, like good stewards responsible for all these variedgraces of God, put it at the service of others.	10 Jedni druge poslužujte – svatko po primljenom daru – kao dobri upravitelji različitih Božjih milosti!
11 If anyone is a speaker, let it be as the words of God, if anyone serves, let it be as in strength grantedby God; so that in everything God may receive the glory, through Jesus Christ, since to him alone belong alglory and power for ever and ever. Amen.	11 Govori li tko? Neka govori kao riječi 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 My dear friends, do not be taken aback at the testing by fire which is taking place among you, asthough something strange were happening to you;	12 Ljubljeni! Ne čudite se požaru što bukti među vama da vas iskuša, kao da vam se događa štogod neobično!
13 but in so far as you share in the sufferings of Christ, be glad, so that you may enjoy a much greatergladness when his glory is revealed.	13 Naprotiv, radujte se kao zajedničari Kristovih patnja da i o Objavljenju njegove slave mognete radosno klicati.
14 If you are insulted for bearing Christ's name, blessed are you, for on you rests the Spirit of God, theSpirit of glory.	14 Pogrđuju li vas zbog imena Kristova, blago vama, jer Duh Slave, Duh Božji u vama počiva.
15 None of you should ever deserve to suffer for being a murderer, a thief, a criminal or an informer;	15 Tek neka nitko od vas ne trpi kao ubojica, ili kradljivac, ili zločinac, ili makar i kao nametljivac;
16 but if any one of you should suffer for being a Christian, then there must be no shame but thanksgiving to God for bearing this name.	16 ako li kao kršćanin, neka se ne stidi, nego slavi Boga zbog tog imena.
17 The time has come for the judgement to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, whatwil be the end for those who refuse to believe God's gospel?	17 Ta vrijeme je da započne Sud – od doma Božjega. No ako već od vas započinje, kakav je onda svršetak onih što nisu poslušni Božjem evanđelju?
18 If it is hard for the upright to be saved, what wil happen to the wicked and to sinners?	18 I ako se pravednik jedva spašava, opak i grešnik gdje da se pojavi?
19 So even those whom God allows to suffer should commit themselves to a Creator who is trustworthy,and go on doing good.	19 Stoga oni koji po volji Božjoj trpe, neka dobrim djelima povjere duše svoje vjernom Stvoritelju.
