1 Peter 2

NEW JERUSALEM	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Rid yourselves, then, of al spite, deceit, hypocrisy, envy and carping criticism.	1 Odložite dakle svaku zloću i svaku prijevaru, himbe i zavisti i sva klevetanja.
2 Like new-born babies al your longing should be for milk -- the unadulterated spiritual milk -- which willhelp you to grow up to salvation,	2 Kao novorođenčad žudite za duhovnim, nepatvorenim mlijekom da po njemu uzrastete za spasenje,
3 at any rate if you have tasted that the Lord is good .	3 ako ste doista okusili kako je dobar Gospodin.
4 He is the living stone, rejected by human beings but chosen by God and precious to him; set yourselvesclose to him	4 Pristupite k njemu, Kamenu živomu što ga, istina, ljudi odbaciše, ali je u očima Božjim izabran, dragocjen,
5 so that you, too, may be living stones making a spiritual house as a holy priesthood to offer the spiritualsacrifices made acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.	5 pa se kao živo kamenje ugrađujte u duhovni Dom za sveto svećenstvo da prinosite žrtve duhovne, ugodne Bogu po Isusu Kristu.
6 As scripture says: Now I am laying a stone in Zion, a chosen, precious cornerstone and no one whorelies on this wil be brought to disgrace.	6 Stoga stoji u Pismu: Evo postavljam na Sionu kamen odabrani, dragocjeni kamen ugaoni: Tko u nj vjeruje, ne, neće se postidjeti.
7 To you believers it brings honour. But for unbelievers, it is rather a stone which the builders rejectedthat became a cornerstone,	7 Vama dakle koji vjerujete – čast! A onima koji ne vjeruju – kamen koji odbaciše graditelji postade kamen zaglavni
8 a stumbling stone, a rock to trip people up. They stumble over it because they do not believe in theWord; it was the fate in store for them.	8 i kamen spoticanja, stijena posrtanja; oni se o nj spotiču, neposlušni Riječi, za što su i određeni.
9 But you are a chosen race, a kingdom of priests, a holy nation, a people to be a personal possession tosing the praises of God who cal ed you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.	9 A vi ste rod izabrani, kraljevsko svećenstvo, sveti puk, narod stečeni da naviještate silna djela Onoga koji vas iz tame pozva k divnom svjetlu svojemu;
10 Once you were a non-people and now you are the People of God; once you were outside his pity; nowyou have received pity.	10 vi, nekoć Ne-narod, a sada Narod Božji; vi Ne-mili, a sada Mili.
11 I urge you, my dear friends, as strangers and nomads, to keep yourselves free from the disorderednatural inclinations that attack the soul.	11 Ljubljeni! Zaklinjem vas da se kao pridošlice i putnici klonite putenih požuda koje vojuju protiv duše;
12 Always behave honourably among gentiles so that they can see for themselves what moral lives youlead, and when the day of reckoning comes, give thanks to God for the things which now make them denounceyou as criminals.	12 življenje 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.
13 For the sake of the Lord, accept the authority of every human institution: the emperor, as the supremeauthority,	13 Pokoravajte se svakoj ljudskoj ustanovi radi Gospodina: bilo kralju kao vrhovniku,
14 and the governors as commissioned by him to punish criminals and praise those who do good.	14 bilo upraviteljima jer ih on šalje da kazne zločince, a pohvale one koji dobro čine.
15 It is God's will that by your good deeds you should silence the ignorant talk of fools.	15 Doista, ovo je Božja volja: da čineći dobro ušutkate neznanje bezumnika.
16 You are slaves of no one except God, so behave like free people, and never use your freedom as acover for wickedness.	16 Kao slobodni ljudi – ali ne kao oni kojima je sloboda tek pokrivalom zloće, već kao Božje sluge –
17 Have respect for everyone and love for your fel ow-believers; fear God and honour the emperor.	17 sve poštujte, bratstvo ljubite, Boga se bojte, kralja častite!
18 Slaves, you should obey your masters respectful y, not only those who are kind and reasonable butalso those who are difficult to please.	18 Sluge, budite sa svim poštovanjem pokorni gospodarima, ne samo dobrima i blagima nego i naopakima.
19 You see, there is merit if, in awareness of God, you put up with the pains of undeserved punishment;	19 To je uistinu milost ako tko radi savjesti, radi Boga podnosi nevolje trpeći nepravedno.
20 but what glory is there in putting up with a beating after you have done something wrong? The merit inthe sight of God is in putting up with it patiently when you are punished for doing your duty.	20 Kakve li slave doista ako za grijehe udarani strpljivo podnosite? No ako dobro čineći trpite pa strpljivo podnosite, to je Bogu milo.
21 This, in fact, is what you were called to do, because Christ suffered for you and left an example for youto fol ow in his steps.	21 Ta na to ste pozvani jer i Krist je trpio za vas i ostavio vam primjer da idete stopama njegovim.
22 He had done nothing wrong, and had spoken no deceit.	22 On koji grijeha ne učini nit mu usta prijevaru izustiše;
23 He was insulted and did not retaliate with insults; when he was suffering he made no threats but puthis trust in the upright judge.	23 on koji na uvredu nije uvredom uzvraćao i mučen nije prijetio, prepuštajući to Sucu pravednom;
24 He was bearing our sins in his own body on the cross, so that we might die to our sins and live foruprightness; through his bruises you have been healed.	24 on koji u tijelu svom grijehe naše ponese na drvo da umrijevši grijesima pravednosti živimo; on čijom se modricom izliječiste.
25 You had gone astray like sheep but now you have returned to the shepherd and guardian of yoursouls.	25 Doista, poput ovaca lutaste, ali se sada obratiste k pastiru i čuvaru duša svojih.
