1 P etru, apostol al lui Isus Hristos, catre alesii care traiesc ca straini imprastiati prin Pont, Galatia, Capadocia, Asia si Bitinia,

¶ Peter, apostle of Jesus, the Christ, to the strangers scattered in Pontus, in Galatia, in Cappadocia, in Asia, and in Bithynia,

2 d upa stiinta mai dinainte a lui Dumnezeu Tatal, prin sfintirea lucrata de Duhul, spre ascultarea si stropirea cu singele lui Isus Hristos: Harul si pacea sa va fie inmultite!

chosen (according to the foreknowledge of God the Father) in sanctification of the Spirit, to obey and be sprinkled with the blood of Jesus, the Christ, Grace and peace, be multiplied unto you.

3 B inecuvintat sa fie Dumnezeu, Tatal Domnului nostru Isus Hristos, care, dupa indurarea Sa cea mare, ne-a nascut din nou prin invierea lui Isus Hristos din morti, la o nadejde vie

¶ Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus, the Christ, who according to his great mercy has begotten us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus, the Christ, from the dead,

4 s i la o mostenire nestricacioasa si neintinata, si care nu se poate vesteji, pastrata in ceruri pentru voi.

unto the incorruptible inheritance that cannot be defiled and that does not fade away, conserved in the heavens for you,

5 V oi sunteti paziti de puterea lui Dumnezeu, prin credinta, pentru mintuirea gata sa fie descoperita in vremurile de apoi.

who are kept in the virtue of God by faith, to attain unto the saving health which is made ready to be manifested in the last time.

6 I n ea voi va bucurati mult, macar ca acum, daca trebuie, sunteti intristati pentru putina vreme, prin felurite incercari,

¶ In which ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are afflicted in diverse temptations,

7 p entru ca incercarea credintei voastre, cu mult mai scumpa decit aurul care piere si care totusi este incercat prin foc, sa aiba ca urmare lauda, slava si cinstea, la aratarea lui Isus Hristos,

that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold (which perishes, nevertheless it is tried with fire), might be found unto praise and glory and honour when Jesus, the Christ, is made manifest;

8 p e care voi Il iubiti fara sa-L fi vazut, credeti in El, fara sa-L vedeti, si va bucurati cu o bucurie negraita si stralucita,

whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though at present ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory;

9 p entru ca veti dobindi, ca sfirsit al credintei voastre, mintuirea sufletelor voastre.

receiving the end of your faith, even the saving health of your souls.

10 P roorocii, care au proorocit despre harul care va era pastrat voua, au facut din mintuirea aceasta tinta cercetarilor si cautarii lor staruitoare.

¶ Of which saving health the prophets, (who prophesied of the grace that was to come in you) have enquired and searched diligently;

11 E i cercetau sa vada ce vreme si ce imprejurari avea in vedere Duhul lui Hristos, care era in ei, cind vestea mai dinainte patimile lui Hristos si slava de care aveau sa fie urmate.

searching when and in what point of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, which announced beforehand the afflictions that were to come upon the Christ, and the glory that should follow them.

12 L or le-a fost descoperit ca nu pentru ei insisi, ci pentru voi spuneau ei aceste lucruri, pe care vi le-au vestit acum cei ce v-au propovaduit Evanghelia, prin Duhul Sfint trimis din cer si in care chiar ingerii doresc sa priveasca.

Unto whom it was revealed that not unto themselves, but unto us they did administer the things, which are now announced unto you by those that have preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven, which things the angels desire to look into.

13 D e aceea, incingeti-va coapsele mintii voastre, fiti treji, si puneti-va toata nadejdea in harul, care va va fi adus, la aratarea lui Isus Hristos.

¶ Therefore, having the loins of your understanding girded with temperance, wait perfectly in the grace that is presented unto you when Jesus, the Christ, is manifested unto you,

14 C a niste copii ascultatori, nu va lasati tiriti in poftele, pe care le aveati altadata, cind erati in nestiinta.

as obedient sons, not conforming yourselves with the former desires that you had before in your ignorance,

15 C i, dupa cum Cel ce v-a chemat este sfint, fiti si voi sfinti in toata purtarea voastra.

but as he who has called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

16 C aci este scris: "Fiti sfinti, caci Eu sunt sfint."

for it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

17 S i daca chemati ca Tata pe Cel ce judeca fara partinire pe fiecare dupa faptele lui, purtati-va cu frica in timpul pribegiei voastre;

And if ye invoke as Father, he who without respect of persons judges according to the work of each one, converse in fear the entire time of your sojourning here,

18 c aci stiti ca nu cu lucruri pieritoare, cu argint sau cu aur, ati fost rascumparati din felul desert de vietuire, pe care-l mosteniserati de la parintii vostri,

knowing that ye have been ransomed from your vain conversation (which you received from your fathers), not with corruptible things like silver and gold,

19 c i cu singele scump al lui Hristos, Mielul fara cusur si fara prihana.

but with the precious blood of the Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without contamination,

20 E l a fost cunoscut mai inainte de intemeierea lumii, si a fost aratat la sfirsitul vremurilor pentru voi,

already ordained from before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for love of you,

21 c are, prin El, sunteti credinciosi in Dumnezeu, care L-a inviat din morti, si I-a dat slava, pentru ca credinta si nadejdea voastra sa fie in Dumnezeu.

who by him do believe God, who raised him up from the dead and has given him glory: that your faith and hope might be in God.

22 D eci, ca unii care, prin ascultarea de adevar, v-ati curatit sufletele prin Duhul, ca sa aveti o dragoste de frati neprefacuta, iubiti-va cu caldura unii pe altii, din toata inima;

Having purified your souls in the obedience of the truth, by the Spirit, in unfeigned brotherly love, love one another with a pure heart fervently,

23 f iindca ati fost nascuti din nou nu dintr-o saminta, care poate putrezi, ci dintr-una care nu poate putrezi, prin Cuvintul lui Dumnezeu, care este viu si care ramine in veac.

being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides for ever.

24 C aci orice faptura este ca iarba, si toata slava ei, ca floarea ierbii. Iarba se usuca si floarea cade jos,

¶ For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls away,

25 d ar Cuvintul Domnului ramine in veac. Si acesta este Cuvintul, care v-a fost propovaduit prin Evanghelie.

but the word of the Lord endures for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
