1 Peter 2
1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,
sarvvān dveṣān sarvvāṁśca chalān kāpaṭyānīrṣyāḥ samastaglānikathāśca dūrīkṛtya
2 as newborn babies, long for the pure spiritual milk, that with it you may grow,
yuṣmābhiḥ paritrāṇāya vṛddhiprāptyarthaṁ navajātaśiśubhiriva prakṛtaṁ vāgdugdhaṁ pipāsyatāṁ|
3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
yataḥ prabhu rmadhura etasyāsvādaṁ yūyaṁ prāptavantaḥ|
4 Come to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.
aparaṁ mānuṣairavajñātasya kintvīśvareṇābhirucitasya bahumūlyasya jīvatprastarasyeva tasya prabhoḥ sannidhim āgatā
5 You also as living stones are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
yūyamapi jīvatprastarā iva nicīyamānā ātmikamandiraṁ khrīṣṭena yīśunā ceśvaratoṣakāṇām ātmikabalīnāṁ dānārthaṁ pavitro yājakavargo bhavatha|
6 Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious. He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”
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 For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,”
viśvāsināṁ yuṣmākameva samīpe sa mūlyavān bhavati kintvaviśvāsināṁ kṛte nicetṛbhiravajñātaḥ sa pāṣāṇaḥ koṇasya bhittimūlaṁ bhūtvā bādhājanakaḥ pāṣāṇaḥ skhalanakārakaśca śailo jātaḥ|
8 and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
te cāviśvāsād vākyena skhalanti skhalane ca niyuktāḥ santi|
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
kintu yūyaṁ yenāndhakāramadhyāt svakīyāścaryyadīptimadhyam āhūtāstasya guṇān prakāśayitum abhirucito vaṁśo rājakīyo yājakavargaḥ pavitrā jātiradhikarttavyāḥ prajāśca jātāḥ|
10 In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
pūrvvaṁ yūyaṁ tasya prajā nābhavata kintvidānīm īśvarasya prajā ādhve| pūrvvam ananukampitā abhavata kintvidānīm anukampitā ādhve|
11 Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,
he priyatamāḥ, yūyaṁ pravāsino videśinaśca lokā iva manasaḥ prātikūlyena yodhibhyaḥ śārīrikasukhābhilāṣebhyo nivarttadhvam ityahaṁ vinaye|
12 having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good works and glorify God in the day of visitation.
devapūjakānāṁ madhye yuṣmākam ācāra evam uttamo bhavatu yathā te yuṣmān duṣkarmmakārilokāniva puna rna nindantaḥ kṛpādṛṣṭidine svacakṣurgocarīyasatkriyābhya īśvarasya praśaṁsāṁ kuryyuḥ|
13 Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme,
tato heto ryūyaṁ prabhoranurodhāt mānavasṛṣṭānāṁ kartṛtvapadānāṁ vaśībhavata viśeṣato bhūpālasya yataḥ sa śreṣṭhaḥ,
14 or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
deśādhyakṣāṇāñca yataste duṣkarmmakāriṇāṁ daṇḍadānārthaṁ satkarmmakāriṇāṁ praśaṁsārthañca tena preritāḥ|
15 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
itthaṁ nirbbodhamānuṣāṇām ajñānatvaṁ yat sadācāribhi ryuṣmābhi rniruttarīkriyate tad īśvarasyābhimataṁ|
16 Live as free people, yet not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
yūyaṁ svādhīnā ivācarata tathāpi duṣṭatāyā veṣasvarūpāṁ svādhīnatāṁ dhārayanta iva nahi kintvīśvarasya dāsā iva|
17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
sarvvān samādriyadhvaṁ bhrātṛvarge prīyadhvam īśvarād bibhīta bhūpālaṁ sammanyadhvaṁ|
18 Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.
he dāsāḥ yūyaṁ sampūrṇādareṇa prabhūnāṁ vaśyā bhavata kevalaṁ bhadrāṇāṁ dayālūnāñca nahi kintvanṛjūnāmapi|
19 For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.
yato 'nyāyena duḥkhabhogakāla īśvaracintayā yat kleśasahanaṁ tadeva priyaṁ|
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.
pāpaṁ kṛtvā yuṣmākaṁ capeṭāghātasahanena kā praśaṁsā? kintu sadācāraṁ kṛtvā yuṣmākaṁ yad duḥkhasahanaṁ tadeveśvarasya priyaṁ|
21 For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,
tadarthameva yūyam āhūtā yataḥ khrīṣṭo'pi yuṣmannimittaṁ duḥkhaṁ bhuktvā yūyaṁ yat tasya padacihnai rvrajeta tadarthaṁ dṛṣṭāntamekaṁ darśitavān|
22 who didn’t sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.”
sa kimapi pāpaṁ na kṛtavān tasya vadane kāpi chalasya kathā nāsīt|
23 When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.
nindito 'pi san sa pratinindāṁ na kṛtavān duḥkhaṁ sahamāno 'pi na bhartsitavān kintu yathārthavicārayituḥ samīpe svaṁ samarpitavān|
24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.
vayaṁ yat pāpebhyo nivṛtya dharmmārthaṁ jīvāmastadarthaṁ sa svaśarīreṇāsmākaṁ pāpāni kruśa ūḍhavān tasya prahārai ryūyaṁ svasthā abhavata|
25 For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
yataḥ pūrvvaṁ yūyaṁ bhramaṇakārimeṣā ivādhvaṁ kintvadhunā yuṣmākam ātmanāṁ pālakasyādhyakṣasya ca samīpaṁ pratyāvarttitāḥ|
