1 Peter 4
1 Since Christ suffered physically, you must prepare yourselves with the same attitude he had—for those who suffer physically have turned away from sin.
asmākaṁ vinimayēna khrīṣṭaḥ śarīrasambandhē daṇḍaṁ bhuktavān atō hētōḥ śarīrasambandhē yō daṇḍaṁ bhuktavān sa pāpāt mukta
2 You will not live the rest of your lives following human desires, but doing what God wants.
itibhāvēna yūyamapi susajjībhūya dēhavāsasyāvaśiṣṭaṁ samayaṁ punarmānavānām icchāsādhanārthaṁ nahi kintvīśvarasyēcchāsādhanārthaṁ yāpayata|
3 In the past you've spent enough time following the ways of the world: immorality, sexual indulgence, drunken orgies, partying, binge drinking, and revolting idol-worship.
āyuṣō yaḥ samayō vyatītastasmin yuṣmābhi ryad dēvapūjakānām icchāsādhanaṁ kāmakutsitābhilāṣamadyapānaraṅgarasamattatāghr̥ṇārhadēvapūjācaraṇañcākāri tēna bāhulyaṁ|
4 People think it's strange that you don't join them anymore in this wild and excessive lifestyle, so they curse at you. But they will have to explain what they've done to the one who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
yūyaṁ taiḥ saha tasmin sarvvanāśapaṅkē majjituṁ na dhāvatha, ityanēnāścaryyaṁ vijñāya tē yuṣmān nindanti|
5 That's why the good news was shared with those who've already died—
kintu yō jīvatāṁ mr̥tānāñca vicāraṁ karttum udyatō'sti tasmai tairuttaraṁ dāyiṣyatē|
6 so that although they were rightly judged as far as being sinful human beings is concerned, they could live in the spirit as far as God is concerned.
yatō hētō ryē mr̥tāstēṣāṁ yat mānavōddēśyaḥ śārīrikavicāraḥ kintvīśvarōddēśyam ātmikajīvanaṁ bhavat tadarthaṁ tēṣāmapi sannidhau susamācāraḥ prakāśitō'bhavat|
7 Everything is coming to an end! So think clearly and stay alert when you pray.
sarvvēṣām antimakāla upasthitastasmād yūyaṁ subuddhayaḥ prārthanārthaṁ jāgrataśca bhavata|
8 Most of all, you should love one another very deeply, for love covers many of the wrong things people do.
viśēṣataḥ parasparaṁ gāḍhaṁ prēma kuruta, yataḥ, pāpānāmapi bāhulyaṁ prēmnaivācchādayiṣyatē|
9 Show hospitality to each another, and don't complain.
kātarōktiṁ vinā parasparam ātithyaṁ kr̥ruta|
10 Whatever gift you've been given, share it with others among you, as people who wisely demonstrate God's grace in all its different forms.
yēna yō varō labdhastēnaiva sa param upakarōtr̥, itthaṁ yūyam īśvarasya bahuvidhaprasādasyōttamā bhāṇḍāgārādhipā bhavata|
11 Anyone who speaks should do so as though God is speaking through them. Anyone who wants to help others should do so through the strength that God gives, so that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. May glory and power be his forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
yō vākyaṁ kathayati sa īśvarasya vākyamiva kathayatu yaśca param upakarōti sa īśvaradattasāmarthyādivōpakarōtu| sarvvaviṣayē yīśukhrīṣṭēnēśvarasya gauravaṁ prakāśyatāṁ tasyaiva gauravaṁ parākramaśca sarvvadā bhūyāt| āmēna| (aiōn g165)
12 My friends, don't be alarmed at the “ordeals of fire” you're having, as if these were unexpected.
hē priyatamāḥ, yuṣmākaṁ parīkṣārthaṁ yastāpō yuṣmāsu varttatē tam asambhavaghaṭitaṁ matvā nāścaryyaṁ jānīta,
13 Be happy to the extent that you share in Christ's suffering, because when he appears in his glory, you will be incredibly happy!
kintu khrīṣṭēna klēśānāṁ sahabhāgitvād ānandata tēna tasya pratāpaprakāśē'pyānanandēna praphullā bhaviṣyatha|
14 If you are cursed in Christ's name, you're blessed, for God's glorious spirit rests on you.
yadi khrīṣṭasya nāmahētunā yuṣmākaṁ nindā bhavati tarhi yūyaṁ dhanyā yatō gauravadāyaka īśvarasyātmā yuṣmāsvadhitiṣṭhati tēṣāṁ madhyē sa nindyatē kintu yuṣmanmadhyē praśaṁsyatē|
15 If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer, or a thief, or a criminal, or as a gossip—
kintu yuṣmākaṁ kō'pi hantā vā cairō vā duṣkarmmakr̥d vā parādhikāracarccaka iva daṇḍaṁ na bhuṅktāṁ|
16 but if it's as a Christian, then you don't need to be ashamed. Instead praise God that you're called by that name!
yadi ca khrīṣṭīyāna iva daṇḍaṁ bhuṅktē tarhi sa na lajjamānastatkāraṇād īśvaraṁ praśaṁsatu|
17 For the time of judgment has come—and it begins with the house of God. If it begins with us, what will be the end of those who reject God's good news?
yatō vicārasyārambhasamayē īśvarasya mandirē yujyatē yadi cāsmatsvārabhatē tarhīśvarīyasusaṁvādāgrāhiṇāṁ śēṣadaśā kā bhaviṣyati?
18 “If it's hard for those who live right to be saved, what will happen to sinners, those who oppose God?”
dhārmmikēnāpi cēt trāṇam atikr̥cchrēṇa gamyatē| tarhyadhārmmikapāpibhyām āśrayaḥ kutra lapsyatē|
19 So then those who suffer according to the will of God, the trustworthy Creator, should make sure they are doing good.
ata īśvarēcchātō yē duḥkhaṁ bhuñjatē tē sadācārēṇa svātmānō viśvāsyasraṣṭurīśvasya karābhyāṁ nidadhatāṁ|
