¹Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,

¹Odložite dakle svaku zloću i svaku prijevaru, himbe i zavisti i sva klevetanja.

²as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby,

²Kao novorođenčad žudite za duhovnim, nepatvorenim mlijekom da po njemu uzrastete za spasenje,

³if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious:

³ako ste doista okusili kako je dobar Gospodin.

⁴coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.

⁴Pristupite k njemu, Kamenu živomu što ga, istina, ljudi odbaciše, ali je u očima Božjim izabran, dragocjen,

⁵You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

⁵pa se kao živo kamenje ugrađujte u duhovni Dom za sveto svećenstvo da prinosite žrtve duhovne, ugodne Bogu po Isusu Kristu.

⁶Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen, and precious: He who believes in him will not be disappointed.” Isaiah 28:16

⁶Stoga stoji u Pismu: Evo postavljam na Sionu kamen odabrani, dragocjeni kamen ugaoni: Tko u nj vjeruje, ne, neće se postidjeti.

⁷For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected, has become the chief cornerstone,” Psalm 118:22

⁷Vama dakle koji vjerujete - čast! A onima koji ne vjeruju - kamen koji odbaciše graditelji postade kamen zaglavni

⁸and, “a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.” Isaiah 8:14 For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

⁸i kamen spoticanja, stijena posrtanja; oni se o nj spotiču, neposlušni Riječi, za što su i određeni.

⁹But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

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;

¹⁰who in time past were no people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

¹⁰vi, nekoć Ne-narod, a sada Narod Božji; vi Ne-mili, a sada Mili.

¹¹Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

¹¹Ljubljeni! Zaklinjem vas da se kao pridošlice i putnici klonite putenih požuda koje vojuju protiv duše;

¹²having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.

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.

¹³Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;

¹³Pokoravajte se svakoj ljudskoj ustanovi radi Gospodina: bilo kralju kao vrhovniku,

¹⁴or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.

¹⁴bilo upraviteljima jer ih on šalje da kazne zločince, a pohvale one koji dobro čine.

¹⁵For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

¹⁵Doista, ovo je Božja volja: da čineći dobro ušutkate neznanje bezumnika.

¹⁶as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.

¹⁶Kao slobodni ljudi - ali ne kao oni kojima je sloboda tek pokrivalom zloće, već kao Božje sluge -

¹⁷Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

¹⁷sve poštujte, bratstvo ljubite, Boga se bojte, kralja častite!

¹⁸Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.

¹⁸Sluge, budite sa svim poštovanjem pokorni gospodarima, ne samo dobrima i blagima nego i naopakima.

¹⁹For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.

¹⁹To je uistinu milost ako tko radi savjesti, radi Boga podnosi nevolje trpeći nepravedno.

²⁰For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.

²⁰Kakve li slave doista ako za grijehe udarani strpljivo podnosite? No ako dobro čineći trpite pa strpljivo podnosite, to je Bogu milo.

²¹For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you TR reads “us” instead of “you” an example, that you should follow his steps,

²¹Ta na to ste pozvani jer i Krist je trpio za vas i ostavio vam primjer da idete stopama njegovim.

²²who did not sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.” Isaiah 53:9

²²On koji grijeha ne učini nit mu usta prijevaru izustiše;

²³Who, when he was cursed, didn’t curse back. When he suffered, didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;

²³on koji na uvredu nije uvredom uzvraćao i mučen nije prijetio, prepuštajući to Sucu pravednom;

²⁴who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

²⁴on koji u tijelu svom grijehe naše ponese na drvo da umrijevši grijesima pravednosti živimo; on čijom se modricom izliječiste.

²⁵For you were going astray like sheep; but now have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer “Overseer” is from the Greek episkopon, which can mean overseer, curator, guardian, or superintendent. of your souls.

²⁵Doista, poput ovaca lutaste, ali se sada obratiste k pastiru i čuvaru duša svojih.
