1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect,
panta-gālātiyā-kappadakiyā-āśiyā-bithuniyādēśēṣu pravāsinō yē vikīrṇalōkāḥ
2 According to the foreknowledge of God the Father, unto the sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you and peace be multiplied.
piturīśvarasya pūrvvanirṇayād ātmanaḥ pāvanēna yīśukhrīṣṭasyājñāgrahaṇāya śōṇitaprōkṣaṇāya cābhirucitāstān prati yīśukhrīṣṭasya prēritaḥ pitaraḥ patraṁ likhati| yuṣmān prati bāhulyēna śāntiranugrahaśca bhūyāstāṁ|
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy hath regenerated us unto a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
asmākaṁ prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya tāta īśvarō dhanyaḥ, yataḥ sa svakīyabahukr̥pātō mr̥tagaṇamadhyād yīśukhrīṣṭasyōtthānēna jīvanapratyāśārtham arthatō
4 Unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that can not fade, reserved in heaven for you,
'kṣayaniṣkalaṅkāmlānasampattiprāptyartham asmān puna rjanayāmāsa| sā sampattiḥ svargē 'smākaṁ kr̥tē sañcitā tiṣṭhati,
5 Who, by the power of God, are kept by faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.
yūyañcēśvarasya śaktitaḥ śēṣakālē prakāśyaparitrāṇārthaṁ viśvāsēna rakṣyadhvē|
6 Wherein you shall greatly rejoice, if now you must be for a little time made sorrowful in divers temptations:
tasmād yūyaṁ yadyapyānandēna praphullā bhavatha tathāpi sāmprataṁ prayōjanahētōḥ kiyatkālaparyyantaṁ nānāvidhaparīkṣābhiḥ kliśyadhvē|
7 That the trial of your faith (much more precious than gold which is tried by the fire) may be found unto praise and glory and honour at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
yatō vahninā yasya parīkṣā bhavati tasmāt naśvarasuvarṇādapi bahumūlyaṁ yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsarūpaṁ yat parīkṣitaṁ svarṇaṁ tēna yīśukhrīṣṭasyāgamanasamayē praśaṁsāyāḥ samādarasya gauravasya ca yōgyatā prāptavyā|
8 Whom having not seen, you love: in whom also now, though you see him not, you believe: and believing shall rejoice with joy unspeakable and glorified;
yūyaṁ taṁ khrīṣṭam adr̥ṣṭvāpi tasmin prīyadhvē sāmprataṁ taṁ na paśyantō'pi tasmin viśvasantō 'nirvvacanīyēna prabhāvayuktēna cānandēna praphullā bhavatha,
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
svaviśvāsasya pariṇāmarūpam ātmanāṁ paritrāṇaṁ labhadhvē ca|
10 Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and diligently searched, who prophesied of the grace to come in you.
yuṣmāsu yō 'nugrahō varttatē tadviṣayē ya īśvarīyavākyaṁ kathitavantastē bhaviṣyadvādinastasya paritrāṇasyānvēṣaṇam anusandhānañca kr̥tavantaḥ|
11 Searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them did signify: when it foretold those sufferings that are in Christ, and the glories that should follow:
viśēṣatastēṣāmantarvvāsī yaḥ khrīṣṭasyātmā khrīṣṭē varttiṣyamāṇāni duḥkhāni tadanugāmiprabhāvañca pūrvvaṁ prākāśayat tēna kaḥ kīdr̥śō vā samayō niradiśyataitasyānusandhānaṁ kr̥tavantaḥ|
12 To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you they ministered those things which are now declared to you by them that have preached the gospel to you, the Holy Ghost being sent down from heaven, on whom the angels desire to look.
tatastai rviṣayaistē yanna svān kintvasmān upakurvvantyētat tēṣāṁ nikaṭē prākāśyata| yāṁśca tān viṣayān divyadūtā apyavanataśirasō nirīkṣitum abhilaṣanti tē viṣayāḥ sāmprataṁ svargāt prēṣitasya pavitrasyātmanaḥ sahāyyād yuṣmatsamīpē susaṁvādapracārayitr̥bhiḥ prākāśyanta|
13 Wherefore having the loins of your mind girt up, being sober, trust perfectly in the grace which is offered you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,
ataēva yūyaṁ manaḥkaṭibandhanaṁ kr̥tvā prabuddhāḥ santō yīśukhrīṣṭasya prakāśasamayē yuṣmāsu varttiṣyamānasyānugrahasya sampūrṇāṁ pratyāśāṁ kuruta|
14 As children of obedience, not fashioned according to the former desires of your ignorance:
aparaṁ pūrvvīyājñānatāvasthāyāḥ kutsitābhilāṣāṇāṁ yōgyam ācāraṁ na kurvvantō yuṣmadāhvānakārī yathā pavitrō 'sti
15 But according to him that hath called you, who is holy, be you also in all manner of conversation holy:
yūyamapyājñāgrāhisantānā iva sarvvasmin ācārē tādr̥k pavitrā bhavata|
16 Because it is written: You shall be holy, for I am holy.
yatō likhitam āstē, yūyaṁ pavitrāstiṣṭhata yasmādahaṁ pavitraḥ|
17 And if you invoke as Father him who, without respect of persons, judgeth according to every one’s work: converse in fear during the time of your sojourning here.
aparañca yō vināpakṣapātam ēkaikamānuṣasya karmmānusārād vicāraṁ karōti sa yadi yuṣmābhistāta ākhyāyatē tarhi svapravāsasya kālō yuṣmābhi rbhītyā yāpyatāṁ|
18 Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as gold or silver, from your vain conversation of the tradition of your fathers:
yūyaṁ nirarthakāt paitr̥kācārāt kṣayaṇīyai rūpyasuvarṇādibhi rmuktiṁ na prāpya
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb unspotted and undefiled,
niṣkalaṅkanirmmalamēṣaśāvakasyēva khrīṣṭasya bahumūlyēna rudhirēṇa muktiṁ prāptavanta iti jānītha|
20 Foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in the last times for you,
sa jagatō bhittimūlasthāpanāt pūrvvaṁ niyuktaḥ kintu caramadinēṣu yuṣmadarthaṁ prakāśitō 'bhavat|
21 Who through him are faithful in God, who raised him up from the dead, and hath given him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.
yatastēnaiva mr̥tagaṇāt tasyōtthāpayitari tasmai gauravadātari cēśvarē viśvasitha tasmād īśvarē yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsaḥ pratyāśā cāstē|
22 Purifying your souls in the obedience of charity, with a brotherly love, from a sincere heart love one another earnestly:
yūyam ātmanā satyamatasyājñāgrahaṇadvārā niṣkapaṭāya bhrātr̥prēmnē pāvitamanasō bhūtvā nirmmalāntaḥkaraṇaiḥ parasparaṁ gāḍhaṁ prēma kuruta|
23 Being born again not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, by the word of God who liveth and remaineth for ever. (aiōn g165)
yasmād yūyaṁ kṣayaṇīyavīryyāt nahi kintvakṣayaṇīyavīryyād īśvarasya jīvanadāyakēna nityasthāyinā vākyēna punarjanma gr̥hītavantaḥ| (aiōn g165)
24 For all flesh is as grass; and all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass is withered, and the flower thereof is fallen away.
sarvvaprāṇī tr̥ṇaistulyastattējastr̥ṇapuṣpavat| tr̥ṇāni pariśuṣyati puṣpāṇi nipatanti ca|
