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

¹Odloživši torej vso hudobnost in vso zvijačnost in licemerstvo in zavist in vse obrekovanje,

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

²hrepenite kakor novorojena deteta po nepokvarjenem mleku iz besede Božje, da po njem rastete v zveličanje,

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

³če ste res okusili, da je Gospod dobrotljiv.

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

⁴K njemu pristopajoč, kamenu živemu, ki so ga sicer zavrgli ljudje, pri Bogu pa je izvoljen in dragocen,

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.

⁵se sezidavate tudi vi kot živi kameni v hišo duhovno, sveto duhovništvo, da darujete duhovne daritve, prijetne Bogu po Jezusu Kristusu.

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

⁶Kajti pisano je v pismu: „Glej, polagam na Sionu vogelni kamen, izvoljen, dragocen, in kdor veruje vanj, ne bo osramočen“.

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

⁷Vam torej, ki verujete, je čast; nevernim pa je „ta kamen, ki so ga zavrgli zidarji, postal za glavo voglu“

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.

⁸in „kamen spotike in skala pohujšanja“; kateri se, ker so nepokorni besedi, spotikajo, za kar so bili tudi postavljeni.

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:

⁹Vi pa ste rod izvoljeni, kraljevsko duhovništvo, svet narod, ljudstvo Bogu za last, da oznanjate kreposti njega, ki vas je poklical iz teme v čudovito svetlobo svojo;

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

¹⁰ki nekdaj niste bili ljudstvo, sedaj pa ste ljudstvo Božje, nekdaj ne deležni milosti, sedaj pa pomiloščeni.

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

¹¹Ljubljeni, opominjam vas kot tujce in popotnike, da se zdržujete mesenih poželenj, ki se vojskujejo zoper dušo;

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.

¹²vedenje vaše med pogani bodi lepo, da bodo v tem, v čemer vas obrekujejo kakor hudodelnike, slavili zaradi vaših dobrih del, ki jih vidijo, Boga v dan obiskovanja.

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

¹³Pokorite se vsaki naredbi človeški zavoljo Gospoda: bodisi kralju kakor najvišjemu,

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

¹⁴bodisi poglavarjem kakor od njega poslanim v kaznovanje hudodelnikov in v pohvalo teh, ki delajo dobro.

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

¹⁵Kajti taka je volja Božja, da z dobrimi deli zavežite jezik nevednosti nespametnih ljudi;

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

¹⁶kakor svobodni, a ne za pokrivalo hudobnosti imajoč svobodo, temveč kakor hlapci Božji.

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

¹⁷Vse spoštujte, bratovščino 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.

¹⁸Hlapci, bodite pokorni v vsem strahu gospodarjem, ne samo dobrim in krotkim, ampak tudi osornim.

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

¹⁹Kajti to je milost, ako kdo iz vestnosti do Boga prenaša težave, po krivem trpeč.

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.

²⁰Kakšna namreč hvala, če boste grešeč in zato tepeni trpeli? Ampak če ste, dobo delajoč in pri tem trpeč, stanovitni, to je prijetno pri Bogu.

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,

²¹Kajti za to ste bili poklicani, ker je tudi Kristus trpel za vas in vam zapustil zgled, da hodite po sledovih njegovih:

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

²²on ni storil greha, tudi zvijača se ni našla v ustih njegovih;

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

²³on psovan ni psoval, trpeč ni pretil, temuč vse je prepuščal tistemu, ki sodi pravično;

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 je grehe naše sam na telesu svojem nesel na les, da bi grehom odmrli in živeli pravičnosti; ž njegovimi ranami ste bili ozdravljeni.Bili ste namreč kakor ovce tavajoče, ali povrnili ste se zdaj k Pastirju in Škofu duš svojih.

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.

²⁵Bili ste namreč kakor ovce tavajoče, ali povrnili ste se zdaj k Pastirju in Škofu duš svojih.
