1 Peter 2
1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,
sarvvAn dveShAn sarvvAMshcha ChalAn kApaTyAnIrShyAH samastaglAnikathAshcha dUrIkR^itya
2 as newborn babies, long for the pure spiritual milk, that with it you may grow,
yuShmAbhiH paritrANAya vR^iddhiprAptyarthaM navajAtashishubhiriva prakR^itaM vAgdugdhaM pipAsyatAM|
3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
yataH prabhu rmadhura etasyAsvAdaM yUyaM prAptavantaH|
4 Come to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.
aparaM mAnuShairavaj nAtasya kintvIshvareNAbhiruchitasya bahumUlyasya jIvatprastarasyeva tasya prabhoH sannidhim AgatA
5 You 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.
yUyamapi jIvatprastarA iva nichIyamAnA AtmikamandiraM khrIShTena yIshunA cheshvaratoShakANAm AtmikabalInAM dAnArthaM pavitro yAjakavargo bhavatha|
6 Because 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.”
yataH shAstre likhitamAste, yathA, pashya pAShANa eko. asti sIyoni sthApito mayA| mukhyakoNasya yogyaH sa vR^itashchAtIva mUlyavAn| yo jano vishvaset tasmin sa lajjAM na gamiShyati|
7 For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,”
vishvAsinAM yuShmAkameva samIpe sa mUlyavAn bhavati kintvavishvAsinAM kR^ite nichetR^ibhiravaj nAtaH sa pAShANaH koNasya bhittimUlaM bhUtvA bAdhAjanakaH pAShANaH skhalanakArakashcha shailo jAtaH|
8 and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
te chAvishvAsAd vAkyena skhalanti skhalane cha niyuktAH santi|
9 But 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.
kintu yUyaM yenAndhakAramadhyAt svakIyAshcharyyadIptimadhyam AhUtAstasya guNAn prakAshayitum abhiruchito vaMsho rAjakIyo yAjakavargaH pavitrA jAtiradhikarttavyAH prajAshcha jAtAH|
10 In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
pUrvvaM yUyaM tasya prajA nAbhavata kintvidAnIm Ishvarasya prajA Adhve| pUrvvam ananukampitA abhavata kintvidAnIm anukampitA Adhve|
11 Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,
he priyatamAH, yUyaM pravAsino videshinashcha lokA iva manasaH prAtikUlyena yodhibhyaH shArIrikasukhAbhilAShebhyo nivarttadhvam ityahaM vinaye|
12 having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good works and glorify God in the day of visitation.
devapUjakAnAM madhye yuShmAkam AchAra evam uttamo bhavatu yathA te yuShmAn duShkarmmakArilokAniva puna rna nindantaH kR^ipAdR^iShTidine svachakShurgocharIyasatkriyAbhya Ishvarasya prashaMsAM kuryyuH|
13 Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme,
tato heto ryUyaM prabhoranurodhAt mAnavasR^iShTAnAM kartR^itvapadAnAM vashIbhavata visheShato bhUpAlasya yataH sa shreShThaH,
14 or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
deshAdhyakShANA ncha yataste duShkarmmakAriNAM daNDadAnArthaM satkarmmakAriNAM prashaMsArtha ncha tena preritAH|
15 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
itthaM nirbbodhamAnuShANAm aj nAnatvaM yat sadAchAribhi ryuShmAbhi rniruttarIkriyate tad IshvarasyAbhimataM|
16 Live as free people, yet not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
yUyaM svAdhInA ivAcharata tathApi duShTatAyA veShasvarUpAM svAdhInatAM dhArayanta iva nahi kintvIshvarasya dAsA iva|
17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
sarvvAn samAdriyadhvaM bhrAtR^ivarge prIyadhvam IshvarAd bibhIta bhUpAlaM sammanyadhvaM|
18 Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.
he dAsAH yUyaM sampUrNAdareNa prabhUnAM vashyA bhavata kevalaM bhadrANAM dayAlUnA ncha nahi kintvanR^ijUnAmapi|
19 For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.
yato. anyAyena duHkhabhogakAla IshvarachintayA yat kleshasahanaM tadeva priyaM|
20 For 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.
pApaM kR^itvA yuShmAkaM chapeTAghAtasahanena kA prashaMsA? kintu sadAchAraM kR^itvA yuShmAkaM yad duHkhasahanaM tadeveshvarasya priyaM|
21 For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,
tadarthameva yUyam AhUtA yataH khrIShTo. api yuShmannimittaM duHkhaM bhuktvA yUyaM yat tasya padachihnai rvrajeta tadarthaM dR^iShTAntamekaM darshitavAn|
22 who did not sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.”
sa kimapi pApaM na kR^itavAn tasya vadane kApi Chalasya kathA nAsIt|
23 When he was cursed, he did not curse back. When he suffered, he did not threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.
nindito. api san sa pratinindAM na kR^itavAn duHkhaM sahamAno. api na bhartsitavAn kintu yathArthavichArayituH samIpe svaM samarpitavAn|
24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.
vayaM yat pApebhyo nivR^itya dharmmArthaM jIvAmastadarthaM sa svasharIreNAsmAkaM pApAni krusha UDhavAn tasya prahArai ryUyaM svasthA abhavata|
25 For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
