New Living Translation NLT
1 DEJANDO pues toda malicia, y todo engaño, y fingimientos, y envidias, y todas las detracciones,
1
So get rid of all evil behavior. Be done with all deceit, hypocrisy, jealousy, and all unkind speech.
2 Desead, como niños recién nacidos, la leche espiritual, sin engaño, para que por ella crezcáis en salud:
2
Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment,
3 Si empero habéis gustado que el Señor es benigno;
3
now that you have had a taste of the Lord’s kindness.
4 Al cual allegándoos, piedra viva, reprobada cierto de los hombres, empero elegida de Dios, preciosa,
4
You are coming to Christ, who is the living cornerstone of God’s temple. He was rejected by people, but he was chosen by God for great honor.
5 Vosotros también, como piedras vivas, sed edificados una casa espitirual, y un sacerdocio santo, para ofrecer sacrificios espirituales, agradables á Dios por Jesucristo.
5
And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. What’s more, you are his holy priests. Through the mediation of Jesus Christ, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God.
6 Por lo cual también contiene la Escritura: He aquí, pongo en Sión la principal piedra del ángulo, escogida, preciosa; Y el que creyere en ella, no será confundido.
6
As the Scriptures say, “I am placing a cornerstone in Jerusalem, chosen for great honor, and anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”
7 Ella es pues honor á vosotros que creéis: mas para los desobedientes, La piedra que los edificadores reprobaron, Esta fué hecha la cabeza del ángulo;
7
Yes, you who trust him recognize the honor God has given him. But for those who reject him, “The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.”
8 Y Piedra de tropiezo, y roca de escándalo á aquellos que tropiezan en la palabra, siendo desobedientes; para lo cual fueron también ordenados.
8
And, “He is the stone that makes people stumble, the rock that makes them fall.” They stumble because they do not obey God’s word, and so they meet the fate that was planned for them.
9 Mas vosotros sois linaje escogido, real sacerdocio, gente santa, pueblo adquirido, para que anunciéis las virtudes de aquel que os ha llamado de las tinieblas á su luz admirable.
9
But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.
10 Vosotros, que en el tiempo pasado no erais pueblo, mas ahora sois pueblo de Dios; que en el tiempo pasado no habíais alcanzado misericordia.
10
“Once you had no identity as a people; now you are God’s people. Once you received no mercy; now you have received God’s mercy.”
11 Amados, yo os ruego como á extranjeros y peregrinos, os abstengáis de los deseos carnales que batallan contra el alma,
11
Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls.
12 Teniendo vuestra conversación honesta entre los Gentiles; para que, en lo que ellos murmuran de vosotros como de malhechores, glorifiquen á Dios en el día de la visitación, estimándoos por las buenas obras.
12
Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world.
13 Sed pues sujetos á toda ordenación humana por respeto á Dios: ya sea al rey, como á superior,
13
For the Lord’s sake, submit to all human authority—whether the king as head of state,
14 Ya á los gobernadores, como de él enviados para venganza de los malhechores, y para loor de los que hacen bien.
14
or the officials he has appointed. For the king has sent them to punish those who do wrong and to honor those who do right.
15 Porque esta es la voluntad de Dios; que haciendo bien, hagáis callara la ignorancia de los hombres vanos:
15
It is God’s will that your honorable lives should silence those ignorant people who make foolish accusations against you.
16 Como libres, y no como teniendo la libertad por cobertura de malicia, sino como siervos de Dios.
16
For you are free, yet you are God’s slaves, so don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do evil.
17 Honrad á todos. Amad la fraternidad. Temed á Dios. Honrad al rey.
17
Respect everyone, and love the family of believers. Fear God, and respect the king.
18 Siervos, sed sujetos con todo temor á vuestros amos; no solamente á los buenos y humanos, sino también á los rigurosos.
18
You who are slaves must submit to your masters with all respect. Do what they tell you—not only if they are kind and reasonable, but even if they are cruel.
19 Porque esto es agradable, si alguno á causa de la conciencia delante de Dios, sufre molestias padeciendo injustamente.
19
For God is pleased when, conscious of his will, you patiently endure unjust treatment.
20 Porque ¿qué gloria es, si pecando vosotros sois abofeteados, y lo sufrís? mas si haciendo bien sois afligidos, y lo sufrís, esto ciertamente es agradable delante de Dios.
20
Of course, you get no credit for being patient if you are beaten for doing wrong. But if you suffer for doing good and endure it patiently, God is pleased with you.
21 Porque para esto sois llamados; pues que también Cristo padeció por nosotros, dejándonos ejemplo, para que vosotros sigáis sus pisadas:
21
For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps.
22 El cual no hizo pecado; ni fué hallado engaño en su boca:
22
He never sinned, nor ever deceived anyone.
23 Quien cuando le maldecían no retornaba maldición: cuando padecía, no amenazaba, sino remitía la causa al que juzga justamente:
23
He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly.
24 El cual mismo llevó nuestros pecados en su cuerpo sobre el madero, para que nosotros siendo muertos á los pecados, vivamos á la justicia: por la herida del cual habéis sido sanados.
24
He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.
25 Porque vosotros erais como ovejas descarriadas; mas ahora habéis vuelto al Padre y Obispo de vuestras almas.
25
Once you were like sheep who wandered away. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls.
