1 Peter 2
1 Laying aside therefore all malice and all guile and hypocrisies and envyings and all evil speakings,
sarvvAn dvESAn sarvvAMzca chalAn kApaTyAnIrSyAH samastaglAnikathAzca dUrIkRtya
2 as newborn babes desire earnestly the pure mental milk of the word, that by it ye may grow up to salvation,
yuSmAbhiH paritrANAya vRddhiprAptyarthaM navajAtazizubhiriva prakRtaM vAgdugdhaM pipAsyatAM|
3 if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord [is] good.
yataH prabhu rmadhura EtasyAsvAdaM yUyaM prAptavantaH|
4 To whom coming, a living stone, cast away indeed as worthless by men, but with God chosen, precious,
aparaM mAnuSairavajnjAtasya kintvIzvarENAbhirucitasya bahumUlyasya jIvatprastarasyEva tasya prabhOH sannidhim AgatA
5 yourselves also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
yUyamapi jIvatprastarA iva nicIyamAnA AtmikamandiraM khrISTEna yIzunA cEzvaratOSakANAm AtmikabalInAM dAnArthaM pavitrO yAjakavargO bhavatha|
6 Because it is contained in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Zion a corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be put to shame.
yataH zAstrE likhitamAstE, yathA, pazya pASANa EkO 'sti sIyOni sthApitO mayA| mukhyakONasya yOgyaH sa vRtazcAtIva mUlyavAn| yO janO vizvasEt tasmin sa lajjAM na gamiSyati|
7 To you therefore who believe [is] the preciousness; but to the disobedient, the stone which the builders cast away as worthless, this is become head of [the] corner,
vizvAsinAM yuSmAkamEva samIpE sa mUlyavAn bhavati kintvavizvAsinAM kRtE nicEtRbhiravajnjAtaH sa pASANaH kONasya bhittimUlaM bhUtvA bAdhAjanakaH pASANaH skhalanakArakazca zailO jAtaH|
8 and a stone of stumbling and rock of offence; [who] stumble at the word, being disobedient to which also they have been appointed.
tE cAvizvAsAd vAkyEna skhalanti skhalanE ca niyuktAH santi|
9 But ye [are] a chosen race, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a people for a possession, that ye might set forth the excellencies of him who has called you out of darkness to his wonderful light;
kintu yUyaM yEnAndhakAramadhyAt svakIyAzcaryyadIptimadhyam AhUtAstasya guNAn prakAzayitum abhirucitO vaMzO rAjakIyO yAjakavargaH pavitrA jAtiradhikarttavyAH prajAzca jAtAH|
10 who once [were] not a people, but now God's people; who were not enjoying mercy, but now have found mercy.
pUrvvaM yUyaM tasya prajA nAbhavata kintvidAnIm Izvarasya prajA AdhvE| pUrvvam ananukampitA abhavata kintvidAnIm anukampitA AdhvE|
11 Beloved, I exhort [you], as strangers and sojourners, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
hE priyatamAH, yUyaM pravAsinO vidEzinazca lOkA iva manasaH prAtikUlyEna yOdhibhyaH zArIrikasukhAbhilASEbhyO nivarttadhvam ityahaM vinayE|
12 having your conversation honest among the Gentiles, that [as to that] in which they speak against you as evildoers, they may through [your] good works, [themselves] witnessing [them], glorify God in [the] day of visitation.
dEvapUjakAnAM madhyE yuSmAkam AcAra Evam uttamO bhavatu yathA tE yuSmAn duSkarmmakArilOkAniva puna rna nindantaH kRpAdRSTidinE svacakSurgOcarIyasatkriyAbhya Izvarasya prazaMsAM kuryyuH|
13 Be in subjection [therefore] to every human institution for the Lord's sake; whether to [the] king as supreme,
tatO hEtO ryUyaM prabhOranurOdhAt mAnavasRSTAnAM kartRtvapadAnAM vazIbhavata vizESatO bhUpAlasya yataH sa zrESThaH,
14 or to rulers as sent by him, for vengeance on evildoers, and praise to them that do well.
dEzAdhyakSANAnjca yatastE duSkarmmakAriNAM daNPadAnArthaM satkarmmakAriNAM prazaMsArthanjca tEna prEritAH|
15 Because so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye put to silence the ignorance of senseless men;
itthaM nirbbOdhamAnuSANAm ajnjAnatvaM yat sadAcAribhi ryuSmAbhi rniruttarIkriyatE tad IzvarasyAbhimataM|
16 as free, and not as having liberty as a cloak of malice, but as God's bondmen.
yUyaM svAdhInA ivAcarata tathApi duSTatAyA vESasvarUpAM svAdhInatAM dhArayanta iva nahi kintvIzvarasya dAsA iva|
17 Shew honour to all, love the brotherhood, fear God, honour the king.
sarvvAn samAdriyadhvaM bhrAtRvargE prIyadhvam IzvarAd bibhIta bhUpAlaM sammanyadhvaM|
18 Servants, [be] subject with all fear to your masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the ill-tempered.
hE dAsAH yUyaM sampUrNAdarENa prabhUnAM vazyA bhavata kEvalaM bhadrANAM dayAlUnAnjca nahi kintvanRjUnAmapi|
19 For this [is] acceptable, if one, for conscience sake towards God, endure griefs, suffering unjustly.
yatO 'nyAyEna duHkhabhOgakAla IzvaracintayA yat klEzasahanaM tadEva priyaM|
20 For what glory [is it], if sinning and being buffeted ye shall bear [it]? but if, doing good and suffering, ye shall bear [it], this is acceptable with God.
pApaM kRtvA yuSmAkaM capETAghAtasahanEna kA prazaMsA? kintu sadAcAraM kRtvA yuSmAkaM yad duHkhasahanaM tadEvEzvarasya priyaM|
21 For to this have ye been called; for Christ also has suffered for you, leaving you a model that ye should follow in his steps:
tadarthamEva yUyam AhUtA yataH khrISTO'pi yuSmannimittaM duHkhaM bhuktvA yUyaM yat tasya padacihnai rvrajEta tadarthaM dRSTAntamEkaM darzitavAn|
22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth;
sa kimapi pApaM na kRtavAn tasya vadanE kApi chalasya kathA nAsIt|
23 who, [when] reviled, reviled not again; [when] suffering, threatened not; but gave [himself] over into the hands of him who judges righteously;
ninditO 'pi san sa pratinindAM na kRtavAn duHkhaM sahamAnO 'pi na bhartsitavAn kintu yathArthavicArayituH samIpE svaM samarpitavAn|
24 who himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, in order that, being dead to sins, we may live to righteousness: by whose stripes ye have been healed.
vayaM yat pApEbhyO nivRtya dharmmArthaM jIvAmastadarthaM sa svazarIrENAsmAkaM pApAni kruza UPhavAn tasya prahArai ryUyaM svasthA abhavata|
25 For ye were going astray as sheep, but have now returned to the shepherd and overseer of your souls.
