1 Peter 2
1 Wherefore laying away all malice, and all guile, and dissimulations, and envies, and all detractions,
sarvvān dveṣān sarvvāṁśca chalān kāpaṭyānīrṣyāḥ samastaglānikathāśca dūrīkṛtya
2 As newborn babes, desire the rational milk without guile, that thereby you may grow unto salvation:
yuṣmābhiḥ paritrāṇāya vṛddhiprāptyarthaṁ navajātaśiśubhiriva prakṛtaṁ vāgdugdhaṁ pipāsyatāṁ|
3 If so be you have tasted that the Lord is sweet.
yataḥ prabhu rmadhura etasyāsvādaṁ yūyaṁ prāptavantaḥ|
4 Unto whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen and made honourable by God:
aparaṁ mānuṣairavajñātasya kintvīśvareṇābhirucitasya bahumūlyasya jīvatprastarasyeva tasya prabhoḥ sannidhim āgatā
5 Be you also as living stones built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
yūyamapi jīvatprastarā iva nicīyamānā ātmikamandiraṁ khrīṣṭena yīśunā ceśvaratoṣakāṇām ātmikabalīnāṁ dānārthaṁ pavitro yājakavargo bhavatha|
6 Wherefore it is said in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious. And he that shall believe in him, shall not be confounded.
yataḥ śāstre likhitamāste, yathā, paśya pāṣāṇa eko 'sti sīyoni sthāpito mayā| mukhyakoṇasya yogyaḥ sa vṛtaścātīva mūlyavān| yo jano viśvaset tasmin sa lajjāṁ na gamiṣyati|
7 To you therefore that believe, he is honour: but to them that believe not, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner:
viśvāsināṁ yuṣmākameva samīpe sa mūlyavān bhavati kintvaviśvāsināṁ kṛte nicetṛbhiravajñātaḥ sa pāṣāṇaḥ koṇasya bhittimūlaṁ bhūtvā bādhājanakaḥ pāṣāṇaḥ skhalanakārakaśca śailo jātaḥ|
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of scandal, to them who stumble at the word, neither do believe, whereunto also they are set.
te cāviśvāsād vākyena skhalanti skhalane ca niyuktāḥ santi|
9 But you are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people: that you may declare his virtues, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
kintu yūyaṁ yenāndhakāramadhyāt svakīyāścaryyadīptimadhyam āhūtāstasya guṇān prakāśayitum abhirucito vaṁśo rājakīyo yājakavargaḥ pavitrā jātiradhikarttavyāḥ prajāśca jātāḥ|
10 Who in time past were not a people: but are now the people of God. Who had not obtained mercy; but now have obtained mercy.
pūrvvaṁ yūyaṁ tasya prajā nābhavata kintvidānīm īśvarasya prajā ādhve| pūrvvam ananukampitā abhavata kintvidānīm anukampitā ādhve|
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, to refrain yourselves from carnal desires which war against the soul,
he priyatamāḥ, yūyaṁ pravāsino videśinaśca lokā iva manasaḥ prātikūlyena yodhibhyaḥ śārīrikasukhābhilāṣebhyo nivarttadhvam ityahaṁ vinaye|
12 Having your conversation good among the Gentiles: that whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by the good works, which they shall behold in you, glorify God in the day of visitation.
devapūjakānāṁ madhye yuṣmākam ācāra evam uttamo bhavatu yathā te yuṣmān duṣkarmmakārilokāniva puna rna nindantaḥ kṛpādṛṣṭidine svacakṣurgocarīyasatkriyābhya īśvarasya praśaṁsāṁ kuryyuḥ|
13 Be ye subject therefore to every human creature for God’s sake: whether it be to the king as excelling;
tato heto ryūyaṁ prabhoranurodhāt mānavasṛṣṭānāṁ kartṛtvapadānāṁ vaśībhavata viśeṣato bhūpālasya yataḥ sa śreṣṭhaḥ,
14 Or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of the good:
deśādhyakṣāṇāñca yataste duṣkarmmakāriṇāṁ daṇḍadānārthaṁ satkarmmakāriṇāṁ praśaṁsārthañca tena preritāḥ|
15 For so is the will of God, that by doing well you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
itthaṁ nirbbodhamānuṣāṇām ajñānatvaṁ yat sadācāribhi ryuṣmābhi rniruttarīkriyate tad īśvarasyābhimataṁ|
16 As free, and not as making liberty a cloak for malice, but as the servants of God.
yūyaṁ svādhīnā ivācarata tathāpi duṣṭatāyā veṣasvarūpāṁ svādhīnatāṁ dhārayanta iva nahi kintvīśvarasya dāsā iva|
17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
sarvvān samādriyadhvaṁ bhrātṛvarge prīyadhvam īśvarād bibhīta bhūpālaṁ sammanyadhvaṁ|
18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
he dāsāḥ yūyaṁ sampūrṇādareṇa prabhūnāṁ vaśyā bhavata kevalaṁ bhadrāṇāṁ dayālūnāñca nahi kintvanṛjūnāmapi|
19 For this is thankworthy, if for conscience towards God, a man endure sorrows, suffering wrongfully.
yato 'nyāyena duḥkhabhogakāla īśvaracintayā yat kleśasahanaṁ tadeva priyaṁ|
20 For what glory is it, if committing sin, and being buffeted for it, you endure? But if doing well you suffer patiently; this is thankworthy before God.
pāpaṁ kṛtvā yuṣmākaṁ capeṭāghātasahanena kā praśaṁsā? kintu sadācāraṁ kṛtvā yuṣmākaṁ yad duḥkhasahanaṁ tadeveśvarasya priyaṁ|
21 For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow his steps.
tadarthameva yūyam āhūtā yataḥ khrīṣṭo'pi yuṣmannimittaṁ duḥkhaṁ bhuktvā yūyaṁ yat tasya padacihnai rvrajeta tadarthaṁ dṛṣṭāntamekaṁ darśitavān|
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth.
sa kimapi pāpaṁ na kṛtavān tasya vadane kāpi chalasya kathā nāsīt|
23 Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he threatened not: but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly.
nindito 'pi san sa pratinindāṁ na kṛtavān duḥkhaṁ sahamāno 'pi na bhartsitavān kintu yathārthavicārayituḥ samīpe svaṁ samarpitavān|
24 Who his own self bore our sins in his body upon the tree: that we, being dead to sins, should live to justice: by whose stripes you were healed.
vayaṁ yat pāpebhyo nivṛtya dharmmārthaṁ jīvāmastadarthaṁ sa svaśarīreṇāsmākaṁ pāpāni kruśa ūḍhavān tasya prahārai ryūyaṁ svasthā abhavata|
25 For you were as sheep going astray; but you are now converted to the shepherd and bishop of your souls.
yataḥ pūrvvaṁ yūyaṁ bhramaṇakārimeṣā ivādhvaṁ kintvadhunā yuṣmākam ātmanāṁ pālakasyādhyakṣasya ca samīpaṁ pratyāvarttitāḥ|
