I Peter 3

Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;

Tako i vi, žene, pokoravajte se svojim muževima: ako su neki od njih možda neposlušni Riječi, da i bez riječi budu pridobiveni življenjem vas žena,

While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

pošto promotre vaše bogoljubno i čisto življenje.

Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

Vaš nakit neka ne bude izvanjski - pletenje kose, kićenje zlatom ili oblačenje haljina.

But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

Nego: čovjek skrovita srca, neprolazne ljepote, blaga i smirena duha. To je pred Bogom dragocjeno.

For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:

Tako su se doista i nekoć svete žene, zaufane u Boga, resile: pokoravale su se muževima.

Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.

Sara se tako pokori Abrahamu te ga nazva gospodarom. Njezina ste djeca ako činite dobro ne bojeći se nikakva zastrašivanja.

Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

Tako i vi, muževi, obazrivo živite sa svojim ženama, kao sa slabijim spolom, te im iskazujte čast kao subaštinicima milosti Života da ne spriječite svojih molitava.

Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

Napokon, budite svi jednodušni, puni suosjećanja i bratske ljubavi, milosrdni, ponizni!

Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

Ne vraćajte zlo za zlo ni uvredu za uvredu! Naprotiv, blagoslivljajte jer ste na to i pozvani da baštinite blagoslov!

For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

Doista, tko želi ljubiti život i naužit se dana sretnih, nek suspregne jezik oda zla i usne od riječi prijevarnih;

Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

zla nek se kloni, a čini dobro, mir neka traži i za njim ide:

For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

jer oči Gospodnje gledaju pravedne, uši mu slušaju vapaje njihove, a lice se Gospodnje okreće protiv zločinaca.

And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

Pa tko da vam naudi ako revnujete za dobro?

But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

Nego, morali i trpjeti zbog svoje pravednosti, blago vama! No ne bojte se njihova zastrašivanja i ne plašite se!

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Naprotiv, Gospodin - Krist neka vam bude svet, u srcima vašim, te budite uvijek spremni na odgovor svakomu koji od vas zatraži obrazloženje nade koja je u vama,

Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

ali blago i s poštovanjem, dobre savjesti da oni koji ozloglašuju vaš dobar život u Kristu, upravo onim budu postiđeni za što vas potvaraju.

For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

Ta uspješnije je trpjeti, ako je to Božja volja, čineći dobro, nego čineći zlo.

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

Doista, i Krist jednom za grijehe umrije, pravedan za nepravedne, da vas privede k Bogu - ubijen doduše u tijelu, ali oživljen u duhu.

By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

U njemu otiđe i propovijedati duhovima u tamnici

Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

koji bijahu nekoć nepokorni, kad ih ono Božja strpljivost iščekivaše, u vrijeme Noino, dok se gradila korablja u kojoj nekolicina, to jest osam duša, bi spašena vodom.

The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

Njezin protulik, krštenje - ne odlaganje tjelesne nečistoće, nego molitva za dobru savjest upravljena Bogu - i vas sada spasava po uskrsnuću Isusa Krista

Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

koji, uzašavši na nebo, jest zdesna Bogu, pošto mu bijahu pokoreni anđeli, vlasti i sile.
