1 Peter 2
1 Now that you have done with all malice, all deceitfulness, insincerity, jealous feelings, and all back-biting,
| سَرْوّانْ دْویشانْ سَرْوّاںشْچَ چھَلانْ کاپَٹْیانِیرْشْیاح سَمَسْتَگْلانِکَتھاشْچَ دُورِیکرِتْیَ |
2 like newly born infants, crave pure spiritual milk, so that you may be enabled by it to grow till you attain Salvation —
| یُشْمابھِح پَرِتْرانایَ ورِدّھِپْراپْتْیَرْتھَں نَوَجاتَشِشُبھِرِوَ پْرَکرِتَں واگْدُگْدھَں پِپاسْیَتاں۔ |
3 since ‘you have found by experience that the Lord is kind.’
| یَتَح پْرَبھُ رْمَدھُرَ ایتَسْیاسْوادَں یُویَں پْراپْتَوَنْتَح۔ |
4 Come to him, then, as to a living stone, rejected, indeed, by men, but in God’s eyes choice and precious;
| اَپَرَں مانُشَیرَوَجْناتَسْیَ کِنْتْوِیشْوَرینابھِرُچِتَسْیَ بَہُمُولْیَسْیَ جِیوَتْپْرَسْتَرَسْییوَ تَسْیَ پْرَبھوح سَنِّدھِمْ آگَتا |
5 and, as living stones, form yourselves into a spiritual House, to be a consecrated Priesthood, for the offering of spiritual sacrifices that will be acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
| یُویَمَپِ جِیوَتْپْرَسْتَرا اِوَ نِچِییَمانا آتْمِکَمَنْدِرَں کھْرِیشْٹینَ یِیشُنا چیشْوَرَتوشَکانامْ آتْمِکَبَلِیناں دانارْتھَں پَوِتْرو یاجَکَوَرْگو بھَوَتھَ۔ |
6 For there is a passage of Scripture that runs — ‘See, I am placing in Zion a choice and precious corner-stone; And he who believes in him shall have no cause for shame.’
| یَتَح شاسْتْرے لِکھِتَماسْتے، یَتھا، پَشْیَ پاشانَ ایکو سْتِ سِییونِ سْتھاپِتو مَیا۔ مُکھْیَکونَسْیَ یوگْیَح سَ ورِتَشْچاتِیوَ مُولْیَوانْ۔ یو جَنو وِشْوَسیتْ تَسْمِنْ سَ لَجّاں نَ گَمِشْیَتِ۔ |
7 It is to you, then, who believe in him that he is precious, but to those who do not believe he is ‘a stone which, though rejected by the builders, has now itself become the corner-stone,’
| وِشْواسِناں یُشْماکَمیوَ سَمِیپے سَ مُولْیَوانْ بھَوَتِ کِنْتْوَوِشْواسِناں کرِتے نِچیترِبھِرَوَجْناتَح سَ پاشانَح کونَسْیَ بھِتِّمُولَں بھُوتْوا بادھاجَنَکَح پاشانَح سْکھَلَنَکارَکَشْچَ شَیلو جاتَح۔ |
8 and ‘a stumbling-block, and a rock which shall prove a hindrance.’ They stumble because they do not accept the Message. This was the fate destined for them.
| تے چاوِشْواسادْ واکْیینَ سْکھَلَنْتِ سْکھَلَنے چَ نِیُکْتاح سَنْتِ۔ |
9 But you are ‘a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, God’s own People,’ entrusted with the proclamation of the goodness of him who called you out of Darkness into his wonderful Light.
| کِنْتُ یُویَں یینانْدھَکارَمَدھْیاتْ سْوَکِییاشْچَرْیَّدِیپْتِمَدھْیَمْ آہُوتاسْتَسْیَ گُنانْ پْرَکاشَیِتُمْ اَبھِرُچِتو وَںشو راجَکِییو یاجَکَوَرْگَح پَوِتْرا جاتِرَدھِکَرْتَّوْیاح پْرَجاشْچَ جاتاح۔ |
10 Once you were ‘not a people,’ but now you are ‘God’s People’; once you ‘had not found mercy,’ but now you ‘have found mercy.’
| پُورْوَّں یُویَں تَسْیَ پْرَجا نابھَوَتَ کِنْتْوِدانِیمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ پْرَجا آدھْوے۔ پُورْوَّمْ اَنَنُکَمْپِتا اَبھَوَتَ کِنْتْوِدانِیمْ اَنُکَمْپِتا آدھْوے۔ |
11 Dear friends, I urge you, as pilgrims and strangers upon earth, to refrain from indulging the cravings of your earthly nature, for they make war upon the soul.
| ہے پْرِیَتَماح، یُویَں پْرَواسِنو وِدیشِنَشْچَ لوکا اِوَ مَنَسَح پْراتِکُولْیینَ یودھِبھْیَح شارِیرِکَسُکھابھِلاشیبھْیو نِوَرْتَّدھْوَمْ اِتْیَہَں وِنَیے۔ |
12 Let your daily life among the Gentiles be so upright, that, whenever they malign you as evil-doers, they may learn, as they watch, from the uprightness of your conduct, to praise God ‘at the time when he shall visit them.’
| دیوَپُوجَکاناں مَدھْیے یُشْماکَمْ آچارَ ایوَمْ اُتَّمو بھَوَتُ یَتھا تے یُشْمانْ دُشْکَرْمَّکارِلوکانِوَ پُنَ رْنَ نِنْدَنْتَح کرِپادرِشْٹِدِنے سْوَچَکْشُرْگوچَرِییَسَتْکْرِیابھْیَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ پْرَشَںساں کُرْیُّح۔ |
13 Submit to all human institutions for the Lord’s sake, alike to the emperor as the supreme authority,
| تَتو ہیتو رْیُویَں پْرَبھورَنُرودھاتْ مانَوَسرِشْٹاناں کَرْترِتْوَپَداناں وَشِیبھَوَتَ وِشیشَتو بھُوپالَسْیَ یَتَح سَ شْریشْٹھَح، |
14 and to governors as the men sent by him to punish evil-doers and to commend those who do right.
| دیشادھْیَکْشانانْچَ یَتَسْتے دُشْکَرْمَّکارِناں دَنْڈَدانارْتھَں سَتْکَرْمَّکارِناں پْرَشَںسارْتھَنْچَ تینَ پْریرِتاح۔ |
15 For God’s will is this — that you should silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing what is right.
| اِتّھَں نِرْبّودھَمانُشانامْ اَجْنانَتْوَں یَتْ سَداچارِبھِ رْیُشْمابھِ رْنِرُتَّرِیکْرِیَتے تَدْ اِیشْوَرَسْیابھِمَتَں۔ |
16 Act as free men, yet not using your freedom as those do who make it a cloak for wickedness, but as Servants of God.
| یُویَں سْوادھِینا اِواچَرَتَ تَتھاپِ دُشْٹَتایا ویشَسْوَرُوپاں سْوادھِینَتاں دھارَیَنْتَ اِوَ نَہِ کِنْتْوِیشْوَرَسْیَ داسا اِوَ۔ |
17 Show honour to every one, Love the Brotherhood, ‘revere God, honour the emperor.’
| سَرْوّانْ سَمادْرِیَدھْوَں بھْراترِوَرْگے پْرِییَدھْوَمْ اِیشْوَرادْ بِبھِیتَ بھُوپالَں سَمَّنْیَدھْوَں۔ |
18 Those of you who are domestic servants should always be submissive and respectful to their masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are arbitrary.
| ہے داساح یُویَں سَمْپُورْنادَرینَ پْرَبھُوناں وَشْیا بھَوَتَ کیوَلَں بھَدْراناں دَیالُونانْچَ نَہِ کِنْتْوَنرِجُونامَپِ۔ |
19 For this wins God’s approval when, because conscious of God’s presence, a man who is suffering unjustly bears his troubles patiently.
| یَتو نْیایینَ دُحکھَبھوگَکالَ اِیشْوَرَچِنْتَیا یَتْ کْلیشَسَہَنَں تَدیوَ پْرِیَں۔ |
20 What credit can you claim when, after doing wrong, you take your punishment for it patiently? But, on the other hand, if, after doing right, you take your sufferings patiently, that does win the approval of God.
| پاپَں کرِتْوا یُشْماکَں چَپیٹاگھاتَسَہَنینَ کا پْرَشَںسا؟ کِنْتُ سَداچارَں کرِتْوا یُشْماکَں یَدْ دُحکھَسَہَنَں تَدیویشْوَرَسْیَ پْرِیَں۔ |
21 For it was to this that you were called! For Christ, too, suffered — on your behalf — and left you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
| تَدَرْتھَمیوَ یُویَمْ آہُوتا یَتَح کھْرِیشْٹوپِ یُشْمَنِّمِتَّں دُحکھَں بھُکْتْوا یُویَں یَتْ تَسْیَ پَدَچِہْنَے رْوْرَجیتَ تَدَرْتھَں درِشْٹانْتَمیکَں دَرْشِتَوانْ۔ |
22 He ‘never sinned, nor was anything deceitful ever heard from his lips.’
| سَ کِمَپِ پاپَں نَ کرِتَوانْ تَسْیَ وَدَنے کاپِ چھَلَسْیَ کَتھا ناسِیتْ۔ |
23 He was abused, but he did not answer with abuse; he suffered, but he did not threaten; he entrusted himself to him whose judgments are just.
| نِنْدِتو پِ سَنْ سَ پْرَتِنِنْداں نَ کرِتَوانْ دُحکھَں سَہَمانو پِ نَ بھَرْتْسِتَوانْ کِنْتُ یَتھارْتھَوِچارَیِتُح سَمِیپے سْوَں سَمَرْپِتَوانْ۔ |
24 And he ‘himself carried our sins’ in his own body to the cross, so that we might die to our sins, and live for righteousness. ‘His bruising was your healing.’
| وَیَں یَتْ پاپیبھْیو نِورِتْیَ دھَرْمّارْتھَں جِیوامَسْتَدَرْتھَں سَ سْوَشَرِیریناسْماکَں پاپانِ کْرُشَ اُوڈھَوانْ تَسْیَ پْرَہارَے رْیُویَں سْوَسْتھا اَبھَوَتَ۔ |
25 Once you were straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.
| یَتَح پُورْوَّں یُویَں بھْرَمَنَکارِمیشا اِوادھْوَں کِنْتْوَدھُنا یُشْماکَمْ آتْمَناں پالَکَسْیادھْیَکْشَسْیَ چَ سَمِیپَں پْرَتْیاوَرْتِّتاح۔ |
