1 Peter 4
1 Therefore, since Christ suffered on our behalf in flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mentality (for the one who has ‘suffered in flesh’ has been made to cease from sin)
asmākaṁ vinimayena khrīṣṭaḥ śarīrasambandhe daṇḍaṁ bhuktavān ato hetoḥ śarīrasambandhe yo daṇḍaṁ bhuktavān sa pāpāt mukta
2 so as not to live your remaining time in flesh for human lusts any longer, but for the will of God.
itibhāvena yūyamapi susajjībhūya dehavāsasyāvaśiṣṭaṁ samayaṁ punarmānavānām icchāsādhanārthaṁ nahi kintvīśvarasyecchāsādhanārthaṁ yāpayata|
3 Because the time that has passed is plenty for you to have performed the will of the pagans—having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, carousings and disgusting idolatries—
āyuṣo yaḥ samayo vyatītastasmin yuṣmābhi ryad devapūjakānām icchāsādhanaṁ kāmakutsitābhilāṣamadyapānaraṅgarasamattatāghṛṇārhadevapūjācaraṇañcākāri tena bāhulyaṁ|
4 in regard to which they are disagreeably surprised at your not running with them into the same flood of debauchery, reviling you;
yūyaṁ taiḥ saha tasmin sarvvanāśapaṅke majjituṁ na dhāvatha, ityanenāścaryyaṁ vijñāya te yuṣmān nindanti|
5 they will give an account to Him who is ready to judge living and dead
kintu yo jīvatāṁ mṛtānāñca vicāraṁ karttum udyato'sti tasmai tairuttaraṁ dāyiṣyate|
6 (which is precisely why dead ones were once evangelized, that they should be judged as men in flesh, to be sure, but that they should live according to God in spirit).
yato heto rye mṛtāsteṣāṁ yat mānavoddeśyaḥ śārīrikavicāraḥ kintvīśvaroddeśyam ātmikajīvanaṁ bhavat tadarthaṁ teṣāmapi sannidhau susamācāraḥ prakāśito'bhavat|
7 The end of all things has approached; therefore be serious and self-controlled in your praying.
sarvveṣām antimakāla upasthitastasmād yūyaṁ subuddhayaḥ prārthanārthaṁ jāgrataśca bhavata|
8 Above all things your love for one another should be constant, because love covers a multitude of sins.
viśeṣataḥ parasparaṁ gāḍhaṁ prema kuruta, yataḥ, pāpānāmapi bāhulyaṁ premnaivācchādayiṣyate|
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
kātaroktiṁ vinā parasparam ātithyaṁ kṛruta|
10 As each has received a gift, minister it to one another as good administrators of God's varied grace.
yena yo varo labdhastenaiva sa param upakarotṛ, itthaṁ yūyam īśvarasya bahuvidhaprasādasyottamā bhāṇḍāgārādhipā bhavata|
11 If anyone speaks, let it be as utterances of God. If anyone serves, let it be as from strength as God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion throughout the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
yo vākyaṁ kathayati sa īśvarasya vākyamiva kathayatu yaśca param upakaroti sa īśvaradattasāmarthyādivopakarotu| sarvvaviṣaye yīśukhrīṣṭeneśvarasya gauravaṁ prakāśyatāṁ tasyaiva gauravaṁ parākramaśca sarvvadā bhūyāt| āmena| (aiōn g165)
12 Dear ones, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you as a test, as though something strange was happening to you,
he priyatamāḥ, yuṣmākaṁ parīkṣārthaṁ yastāpo yuṣmāsu varttate tam asambhavaghaṭitaṁ matvā nāścaryyaṁ jānīta,
13 but to the extent that you share in Christ's sufferings, rejoice, so that at the revelation of His glory you also may rejoice a great deal more.
kintu khrīṣṭena kleśānāṁ sahabhāgitvād ānandata tena tasya pratāpaprakāśe'pyānanandena praphullā bhaviṣyatha|
14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of the glory and of God has come to rest upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.
yadi khrīṣṭasya nāmahetunā yuṣmākaṁ nindā bhavati tarhi yūyaṁ dhanyā yato gauravadāyaka īśvarasyātmā yuṣmāsvadhitiṣṭhati teṣāṁ madhye sa nindyate kintu yuṣmanmadhye praśaṁsyate|
15 Now do not any of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a meddler in others' affairs;
kintu yuṣmākaṁ ko'pi hantā vā cairo vā duṣkarmmakṛd vā parādhikāracarccaka iva daṇḍaṁ na bhuṅktāṁ|
16 but if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.
yadi ca khrīṣṭīyāna iva daṇḍaṁ bhuṅkte tarhi sa na lajjamānastatkāraṇād īśvaraṁ praśaṁsatu|
17 Because the time has come for judgment to begin at God's house; now if it starts with us, what will be the end of those who keep disobeying the Gospel of God?
yato vicārasyārambhasamaye īśvarasya mandire yujyate yadi cāsmatsvārabhate tarhīśvarīyasusaṁvādāgrāhiṇāṁ śeṣadaśā kā bhaviṣyati?
18 Also, ‘If the righteous one is saved with difficulty, where will the godless and sinful person appear?’
dhārmmikenāpi cet trāṇam atikṛcchreṇa gamyate| tarhyadhārmmikapāpibhyām āśrayaḥ kutra lapsyate|
19 And so let those who suffer according to the will of God entrust their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.
ata īśvarecchāto ye duḥkhaṁ bhuñjate te sadācāreṇa svātmāno viśvāsyasraṣṭurīśvasya karābhyāṁ nidadhatāṁ|
