1 Peter 2
1 Therefore put aside all evil, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all slander.
sarvvān dveṣān sarvvāṁśca chalān kāpaṭyānīrṣyāḥ samastaglānikathāśca dūrīkṛtya
2 As newborn infants, long for pure spiritual milk, so that through it you may grow in salvation,
yuṣmābhiḥ paritrāṇāya vṛddhiprāptyarthaṁ navajātaśiśubhiriva prakṛtaṁ vāgdugdhaṁ pipāsyatāṁ|
3 if you have tasted that the Lord is kind.
yataḥ prabhu rmadhura etasyāsvādaṁ yūyaṁ prāptavantaḥ|
4 Come to him who is a living stone that has been rejected by people, but that has been chosen by God as valuable to him.
aparaṁ mānuṣairavajñātasya kintvīśvareṇābhirucitasya bahumūlyasya jīvatprastarasyeva tasya prabhoḥ sannidhim āgatā
5 You also are like living stones that are being built up to be a spiritual house, in order to be a holy priesthood that offers the spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
yūyamapi jīvatprastarā iva nicīyamānā ātmikamandiraṁ khrīṣṭena yīśunā ceśvaratoṣakāṇām ātmikabalīnāṁ dānārthaṁ pavitro yājakavargo bhavatha|
6 Scripture contains this: “See, I am laying in Zion a cornerstone, chosen and valuable. Whoever believes in him will not be ashamed.”
yataḥ śāstre likhitamāste, yathā, paśya pāṣāṇa eko 'sti sīyoni sthāpito mayā| mukhyakoṇasya yogyaḥ sa vṛtaścātīva mūlyavān| yo jano viśvaset tasmin sa lajjāṁ na gamiṣyati|
7 The honor then is for you who believe. But, “the stone that was rejected by the builders, this has become the head of the corner”—
viśvāsināṁ yuṣmākameva samīpe sa mūlyavān bhavati kintvaviśvāsināṁ kṛte nicetṛbhiravajñātaḥ sa pāṣāṇaḥ koṇasya bhittimūlaṁ bhūtvā bādhājanakaḥ pāṣāṇaḥ skhalanakārakaśca śailo jātaḥ|
8 and, “A stone of stumbling and a rock that makes them fall.” They stumble because they disobey the word—which is what they were appointed to do.
te cāviśvāsād vākyena skhalanti skhalane ca niyuktāḥ santi|
9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's possession, so that you would announce the wonderful actions of the one who called you out from darkness into his marvelous light.
kintu yūyaṁ yenāndhakāramadhyāt svakīyāścaryyadīptimadhyam āhūtāstasya guṇān prakāśayitum abhirucito vaṁśo rājakīyo yājakavargaḥ pavitrā jātiradhikarttavyāḥ prajāśca jātāḥ|
10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God. You did not receive mercy, but now you have received mercy.
pūrvvaṁ yūyaṁ tasya prajā nābhavata kintvidānīm īśvarasya prajā ādhve| pūrvvam ananukampitā abhavata kintvidānīm anukampitā ādhve|
11 Beloved, I call on you as foreigners and exiles to abstain from fleshly desires, which make war against your soul.
he priyatamāḥ, yūyaṁ pravāsino videśinaśca lokā iva manasaḥ prātikūlyena yodhibhyaḥ śārīrikasukhābhilāṣebhyo nivarttadhvam ityahaṁ vinaye|
12 You should have good behavior among the Gentiles, so that, if they speak about you as having done evil things, they may observe your good works and praise God on the day of his coming.
devapūjakānāṁ madhye yuṣmākam ācāra evam uttamo bhavatu yathā te yuṣmān duṣkarmmakārilokāniva puna rna nindantaḥ kṛpādṛṣṭidine svacakṣurgocarīyasatkriyābhya īśvarasya praśaṁsāṁ kuryyuḥ|
13 Obey every human authority for the Lord's sake. Obey both the king as supreme,
tato heto ryūyaṁ prabhoranurodhāt mānavasṛṣṭānāṁ kartṛtvapadānāṁ vaśībhavata viśeṣato bhūpālasya yataḥ sa śreṣṭhaḥ,
14 and also the governors, who are sent to punish evildoers and to praise those who do good.
deśādhyakṣāṇāñca yataste duṣkarmmakāriṇāṁ daṇḍadānārthaṁ satkarmmakāriṇāṁ praśaṁsārthañca tena preritāḥ|
15 For this is God's will, that in doing good you silence the ignorant talk of foolish people.
itthaṁ nirbbodhamānuṣāṇām ajñānatvaṁ yat sadācāribhi ryuṣmābhi rniruttarīkriyate tad īśvarasyābhimataṁ|
16 As free people, do not use your freedom as a covering for wickedness, but be like servants of God.
yūyaṁ svādhīnā ivācarata tathāpi duṣṭatāyā veṣasvarūpāṁ svādhīnatāṁ dhārayanta iva nahi kintvīśvarasya dāsā iva|
17 Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
sarvvān samādriyadhvaṁ bhrātṛvarge prīyadhvam īśvarād bibhīta bhūpālaṁ sammanyadhvaṁ|
18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect. Be subject not only to the good and gentle masters, but also to the malicious ones.
he dāsāḥ yūyaṁ sampūrṇādareṇa prabhūnāṁ vaśyā bhavata kevalaṁ bhadrāṇāṁ dayālūnāñca nahi kintvanṛjūnāmapi|
19 For it is praiseworthy if anyone endures pain while suffering injustice because of his awareness of God.
yato 'nyāyena duḥkhabhogakāla īśvaracintayā yat kleśasahanaṁ tadeva priyaṁ|
20 For how much credit is there if you sin and then endure while being punished? But if you have done good and then you suffer while being punished, this is worthy of praise from God.
pāpaṁ kṛtvā yuṣmākaṁ capeṭāghātasahanena kā praśaṁsā? kintu sadācāraṁ kṛtvā yuṣmākaṁ yad duḥkhasahanaṁ tadeveśvarasya priyaṁ|
21 For it is to this that you were called, because Christ also suffered for you. He left an example for you to follow in his steps.
tadarthameva yūyam āhūtā yataḥ khrīṣṭo'pi yuṣmannimittaṁ duḥkhaṁ bhuktvā yūyaṁ yat tasya padacihnai rvrajeta tadarthaṁ dṛṣṭāntamekaṁ darśitavān|
22 “He committed no sin, neither was any deceit found in his mouth.”
sa kimapi pāpaṁ na kṛtavān tasya vadane kāpi chalasya kathā nāsīt|
23 When he was reviled, he did not revile back. When he suffered, he did not threaten back, but he gave himself to the one who judges justly.
nindito 'pi san sa pratinindāṁ na kṛtavān duḥkhaṁ sahamāno 'pi na bhartsitavān kintu yathārthavicārayituḥ samīpe svaṁ samarpitavān|
24 He himself carried our sins in his body to the tree, so that we would have no more part in sin, and so that we would live for righteousness. By his bruises you have been healed.
vayaṁ yat pāpebhyo nivṛtya dharmmārthaṁ jīvāmastadarthaṁ sa svaśarīreṇāsmākaṁ pāpāni kruśa ūḍhavān tasya prahārai ryūyaṁ svasthā abhavata|
25 All of you had been wandering away like lost sheep, but now you have returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.
yataḥ pūrvvaṁ yūyaṁ bhramaṇakārimeṣā ivādhvaṁ kintvadhunā yuṣmākam ātmanāṁ pālakasyādhyakṣasya ca samīpaṁ pratyāvarttitāḥ|
