1 Peter 1
1 Peter, Apostle of Jesus Christ, to the newly-arrived elect of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
panta-gālātiyā-kappadakiyā-āśiyā-bithuniyādeśeṣu pravāsino ye vikīrṇalokāḥ
2 in accord with the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, with the obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be multiplied for you.
piturīśvarasya pūrvvanirṇayād ātmanaḥ pāvanena yīśukhrīṣṭasyājñāgrahaṇāya śoṇitaprokṣaṇāya cābhirucitāstān prati yīśukhrīṣṭasya preritaḥ pitaraḥ patraṁ likhati| yuṣmān prati bāhulyena śāntiranugrahaśca bhūyāstāṁ|
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has regenerated us into a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead:
asmākaṁ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya tāta īśvaro dhanyaḥ, yataḥ sa svakīyabahukṛpāto mṛtagaṇamadhyād yīśukhrīṣṭasyotthānena jīvanapratyāśārtham arthato
4 unto an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance, which is reserved for you in heaven.
'kṣayaniṣkalaṅkāmlānasampattiprāptyartham asmān puna rjanayāmāsa| sā sampattiḥ svarge 'smākaṁ kṛte sañcitā tiṣṭhati,
5 By the power of God, you are guarded through faith for a salvation which is ready to be revealed in the end time.
yūyañceśvarasya śaktitaḥ śeṣakāle prakāśyaparitrāṇārthaṁ viśvāsena rakṣyadhve|
6 In this, you should exult, if now, for a brief time, it is necessary to be made sorrowful by various trials,
tasmād yūyaṁ yadyapyānandena praphullā bhavatha tathāpi sāmprataṁ prayojanahetoḥ kiyatkālaparyyantaṁ nānāvidhaparīkṣābhiḥ kliśyadhve|
7 so that the testing of your faith, which is much more precious than gold tested by fire, may be found in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
yato vahninā yasya parīkṣā bhavati tasmāt naśvarasuvarṇādapi bahumūlyaṁ yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsarūpaṁ yat parīkṣitaṁ svarṇaṁ tena yīśukhrīṣṭasyāgamanasamaye praśaṁsāyāḥ samādarasya gauravasya ca yogyatā prāptavyā|
8 For though you have not seen him, you love him. In him also, though you do not see him, you now believe. And in believing, you shall exult with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
yūyaṁ taṁ khrīṣṭam adṛṣṭvāpi tasmin prīyadhve sāmprataṁ taṁ na paśyanto'pi tasmin viśvasanto 'nirvvacanīyena prabhāvayuktena cānandena praphullā bhavatha,
9 returning with the goal of your faith, the salvation of souls.
svaviśvāsasya pariṇāmarūpam ātmanāṁ paritrāṇaṁ labhadhve ca|
10 About this salvation, the prophets inquired and diligently searched, those who prophesied about the future grace in you,
yuṣmāsu yo 'nugraho varttate tadviṣaye ya īśvarīyavākyaṁ kathitavantaste bhaviṣyadvādinastasya paritrāṇasyānveṣaṇam anusandhānañca kṛtavantaḥ|
11 inquiring as to what type of condition was signified to them by the Spirit of Christ, when foretelling those sufferings that are in Christ, as well as the subsequent glories.
viśeṣatasteṣāmantarvvāsī yaḥ khrīṣṭasyātmā khrīṣṭe varttiṣyamāṇāni duḥkhāni tadanugāmiprabhāvañca pūrvvaṁ prākāśayat tena kaḥ kīdṛśo vā samayo niradiśyataitasyānusandhānaṁ kṛtavantaḥ|
12 To them, it was revealed that they were ministering, not for themselves, but for you those things which have now been announced to you through those who have preached the Gospel to you, through the Holy Spirit, who was sent down from heaven to the One upon whom the Angels desire to gaze.
tatastai rviṣayaiste yanna svān kintvasmān upakurvvantyetat teṣāṁ nikaṭe prākāśyata| yāṁśca tān viṣayān divyadūtā apyavanataśiraso nirīkṣitum abhilaṣanti te viṣayāḥ sāmprataṁ svargāt preṣitasya pavitrasyātmanaḥ sahāyyād yuṣmatsamīpe susaṁvādapracārayitṛbhiḥ prākāśyanta|
13 For this reason, gird the waist of your mind, be sober, and hope perfectly in the grace that is offered to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ.
ataeva yūyaṁ manaḥkaṭibandhanaṁ kṛtvā prabuddhāḥ santo yīśukhrīṣṭasya prakāśasamaye yuṣmāsu varttiṣyamānasyānugrahasya sampūrṇāṁ pratyāśāṁ kuruta|
14 Be like sons of obedience, not conforming to the desires of your former ignorance,
aparaṁ pūrvvīyājñānatāvasthāyāḥ kutsitābhilāṣāṇāṁ yogyam ācāraṁ na kurvvanto yuṣmadāhvānakārī yathā pavitro 'sti
15 but in accord with him who has called you: the Holy One. And in every behavior, you yourself must be holy,
yūyamapyājñāgrāhisantānā iva sarvvasmin ācāre tādṛk pavitrā bhavata|
16 for it is written: “You shall be holy, for I am Holy.”
yato likhitam āste, yūyaṁ pavitrāstiṣṭhata yasmādahaṁ pavitraḥ|
17 And if you invoke as Father him who, without showing favoritism to persons, judges according to each one’s work, then act in fear during the time of your sojourning here.
aparañca yo vināpakṣapātam ekaikamānuṣasya karmmānusārād vicāraṁ karoti sa yadi yuṣmābhistāta ākhyāyate tarhi svapravāsasya kālo yuṣmābhi rbhītyā yāpyatāṁ|
18 For you know that it was not with corruptible gold or silver that you were redeemed away from your useless behavior in the traditions of your fathers,
yūyaṁ nirarthakāt paitṛkācārāt kṣayaṇīyai rūpyasuvarṇādibhi rmuktiṁ na prāpya
19 but it was with the precious blood of Christ, an immaculate and undefiled lamb,
niṣkalaṅkanirmmalameṣaśāvakasyeva khrīṣṭasya bahumūlyena rudhireṇa muktiṁ prāptavanta iti jānītha|
20 foreknown, certainly, before the foundation of the world, and made manifest in these latter times for your sake.
sa jagato bhittimūlasthāpanāt pūrvvaṁ niyuktaḥ kintu caramadineṣu yuṣmadarthaṁ prakāśito 'bhavat|
21 Through him, you have been faithful to God, who raised him up from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope would be in God.
yatastenaiva mṛtagaṇāt tasyotthāpayitari tasmai gauravadātari ceśvare viśvasitha tasmād īśvare yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsaḥ pratyāśā cāste|
22 So chastise your souls with the obedience of charity, in fraternal love, and love one another from a simple heart, attentively.
yūyam ātmanā satyamatasyājñāgrahaṇadvārā niṣkapaṭāya bhrātṛpremne pāvitamanaso bhūtvā nirmmalāntaḥkaraṇaiḥ parasparaṁ gāḍhaṁ prema kuruta|
23 For you have been born again, not from corruptible seed, but from what is incorruptible, from the Word of God, living and remaining for all eternity. (aiōn g165)
yasmād yūyaṁ kṣayaṇīyavīryyāt nahi kintvakṣayaṇīyavīryyād īśvarasya jīvanadāyakena nityasthāyinā vākyena punarjanma gṛhītavantaḥ| (aiōn g165)
24 For all flesh is like the grass and all its glory is like the flower of the grass. The grass withers and its flower falls away.
