< 1 Peter 4 >
1 Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
asmākaṁ vinimayena khrīṣṭaḥ śarīrasambandhe daṇḍaṁ bhuktavān ato hetoḥ śarīrasambandhe yo daṇḍaṁ bhuktavān sa pāpāt mukta
2 that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for human desires, but for the will of God.
itibhāvena yūyamapi susajjībhūya dehavāsasyāvaśiṣṭaṁ samayaṁ punarmānavānām icchāsādhanārthaṁ nahi kintvīśvarasyecchāsādhanārthaṁ yāpayata|
3 For enough time in the past has been spent doing the will of the unbelievers, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
āyuṣo yaḥ samayo vyatītastasmin yuṣmābhi ryad devapūjakānām icchāsādhanaṁ kāmakutsitābhilāṣamadyapānaraṅgarasamattatāghṛṇārhadevapūjācaraṇañcākāri tena bāhulyaṁ|
4 They think it is strange that you do not run with them into the same flood of debauchery, blaspheming:
yūyaṁ taiḥ saha tasmin sarvvanāśapaṅke majjituṁ na dhāvatha, ityanenāścaryyaṁ vijñāya te yuṣmān nindanti|
5 who will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
kintu yo jīvatāṁ mṛtānāñca vicāraṁ karttum udyato'sti tasmai tairuttaraṁ dāyiṣyate|
6 For this reason also the Good News was preached to those who are now dead, that they might be judged according to man in the flesh, but might live according to God in the Spirit.
yato heto rye mṛtāsteṣāṁ yat mānavoddeśyaḥ śārīrikavicāraḥ kintvīśvaroddeśyam ātmikajīvanaṁ bhavat tadarthaṁ teṣāmapi sannidhau susamācāraḥ prakāśito'bhavat|
7 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be serious and disciplined in your prayers.
sarvveṣām antimakāla upasthitastasmād yūyaṁ subuddhayaḥ prārthanārthaṁ jāgrataśca bhavata|
8 Above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for 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, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
yena yo varo labdhastenaiva sa param upakarotṛ, itthaṁ yūyam īśvarasya bahuvidhaprasādasyottamā bhāṇḍāgārādhipā bhavata|
11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
yo vākyaṁ kathayati sa īśvarasya vākyamiva kathayatu yaśca param upakaroti sa īśvaradattasāmarthyādivopakarotu| sarvvaviṣaye yīśukhrīṣṭeneśvarasya gauravaṁ prakāśyatāṁ tasyaiva gauravaṁ parākramaśca sarvvadā bhūyāt| āmena| (aiōn )
12 Beloved, do not be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
he priyatamāḥ, yuṣmākaṁ parīkṣārthaṁ yastāpo yuṣmāsu varttate tam asambhavaghaṭitaṁ matvā nāścaryyaṁ jānīta,
13 But because you are partakers of Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
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 glory and of God rests on 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 For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler.
kintu yuṣmākaṁ ko'pi hantā vā cairo vā duṣkarmmakṛd vā parādhikāracarccaka iva daṇḍaṁ na bhuṅktāṁ|
16 But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name.
yadi ca khrīṣṭīyāna iva daṇḍaṁ bhuṅkte tarhi sa na lajjamānastatkāraṇād īśvaraṁ praśaṁsatu|
17 For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins first with us, what will happen to those who do not obey the Good News of God?
yato vicārasyārambhasamaye īśvarasya mandire yujyate yadi cāsmatsvārabhate tarhīśvarīyasusaṁvādāgrāhiṇāṁ śeṣadaśā kā bhaviṣyati?
18 And "If the righteous is delivered with difficulty, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?"
dhārmmikenāpi cet trāṇam atikṛcchreṇa gamyate| tarhyadhārmmikapāpibhyām āśrayaḥ kutra lapsyate|
19 Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
ata īśvarecchāto ye duḥkhaṁ bhuñjate te sadācāreṇa svātmāno viśvāsyasraṣṭurīśvasya karābhyāṁ nidadhatāṁ|
