1 Peter 2
1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all deceit, and hypocrisy, and envy, and all slander,
sarvvAn dvESAn sarvvAMzca chalAn kApaTyAnIrSyAH samastaglAnikathAzca dUrIkRtya
2 as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby to salvation,
yuSmAbhiH paritrANAya vRddhiprAptyarthaM navajAtazizubhiriva prakRtaM vAgdugdhaM pipAsyatAM|
3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good:
yataH prabhu rmadhura EtasyAsvAdaM yUyaM prAptavantaH|
4 coming to him, a living stone, though rejected by people but chosen by God, precious.
aparaM mAnuSairavajnjAtasya kintvIzvarENAbhirucitasya bahumUlyasya jIvatprastarasyEva tasya prabhOH sannidhim AgatA
5 You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy cohanim, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Yeshua the Messiah.
yUyamapi jIvatprastarA iva nicIyamAnA AtmikamandiraM khrISTEna yIzunA cEzvaratOSakANAm AtmikabalInAM dAnArthaM pavitrO yAjakavargO bhavatha|
6 Because it is contained in Scripture, "Look, I am laying in Zion a stone, a chosen precious cornerstone, and whoever believes in him will 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 For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who do not believe, "The stone which the builders rejected, has become the chief cornerstone,"
vizvAsinAM yuSmAkamEva samIpE sa mUlyavAn bhavati kintvavizvAsinAM kRtE nicEtRbhiravajnjAtaH sa pASANaH kONasya bhittimUlaM bhUtvA bAdhAjanakaH pASANaH skhalanakArakazca zailO jAtaH|
8 and, "a stone to stumble over, and a rock to trip over." For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
tE cAvizvAsAd vAkyEna skhalanti skhalanE ca niyuktAH santi|
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal cohanim, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous 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 are God's people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
pUrvvaM yUyaM tasya prajA nAbhavata kintvidAnIm Izvarasya prajA AdhvE| pUrvvam ananukampitA abhavata kintvidAnIm anukampitA AdhvE|
11 Beloved, I urge you as foreigners and temporary residents, 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 good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, 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 Subject yourselves 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 governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
dEzAdhyakSANAnjca yatastE duSkarmmakAriNAM daNPadAnArthaM satkarmmakAriNAM prazaMsArthanjca tEna prEritAH|
15 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people:
itthaM nirbbOdhamAnuSANAm ajnjAnatvaM yat sadAcAribhi ryuSmAbhi rniruttarIkriyatE tad IzvarasyAbhimataM|
16 as free, and not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but as slaves of God.
yUyaM svAdhInA ivAcarata tathApi duSTatAyA vESasvarUpAM svAdhInatAM dhArayanta iva nahi kintvIzvarasya dAsA iva|
17 Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
sarvvAn samAdriyadhvaM bhrAtRvargE prIyadhvam IzvarAd bibhIta bhUpAlaM sammanyadhvaM|
18 Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.
hE dAsAH yUyaM sampUrNAdarENa prabhUnAM vazyA bhavata kEvalaM bhadrANAM dayAlUnAnjca nahi kintvanRjUnAmapi|
19 For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.
yatO 'nyAyEna duHkhabhOgakAla IzvaracintayA yat klEzasahanaM tadEva priyaM|
20 For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.
pApaM kRtvA yuSmAkaM capETAghAtasahanEna kA prazaMsA? kintu sadAcAraM kRtvA yuSmAkaM yad duHkhasahanaM tadEvEzvarasya priyaM|
21 For to this you were called, because Messiah also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,
tadarthamEva yUyam AhUtA yataH khrISTO'pi yuSmannimittaM duHkhaM bhuktvA yUyaM yat tasya padacihnai rvrajEta tadarthaM dRSTAntamEkaM darzitavAn|
22 who "committed no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth."
sa kimapi pApaM na kRtavAn tasya vadanE kApi chalasya kathA nAsIt|
23 Who, when he was cursed, did not curse back. When he suffered, did not threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;
ninditO 'pi san sa pratinindAM na kRtavAn duHkhaM sahamAnO 'pi na bhartsitavAn kintu yathArthavicArayituH samIpE svaM samarpitavAn|
24 who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose wounds you were healed.
vayaM yat pApEbhyO nivRtya dharmmArthaM jIvAmastadarthaM sa svazarIrENAsmAkaM pApAni kruza UPhavAn tasya prahArai ryUyaM svasthA abhavata|
25 For you were going astray like sheep; but now have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
