1 Pedro 2
1 Iwaksiyo ngarud ti amin a kinadakes, panangallilaw, panaginsisingpet, panagapal ken pammadpadakes.
So give up all the evil things that you do: all your dishonesty, hypocrisy, and jealousy, all the ways you speak badly about others.
2 Kas kaipaspasngay a maladaga, nga agtarigagay iti puro a gatas a naespirituan, tapno dumakkelkayo iti pannakaisalakan babaen iti daytoy,
You should become like newborn babies who only want pure spiritual milk, so you can grow in salvation
3 no napadasyo a naimbag iti Apo.
now you've tasted how good the Lord really is.
4 Umasidegkayo kenkuana nga isu a sibibiag a bato a linaksid dagiti tattao, ngem pinili ti Dios ken napateg kenkuana.
As you come to him—the living stone that people rejected as useless, but is chosen by God and precious to him—
5 Maiyarigkayo met iti sibibiag a bato a naipatakder nga agbalin a maysa a balay a naespirituan, tapno agbalin a nasantoan a papadi a mangidaton kadagiti daton a naespirituan a makaay-ayo iti Dios babaen kenni Jesu-Cristo.
you also become like living stones, being built into a spiritual house. You are a holy priesthood that offers spiritual sacrifices that God welcomes through Jesus Christ.
6 Ta kinuna ti Nasantoan a Surat, “Adtoy, mangikabilak idiay Sion ti maysa a pasuli a bato, kangrunaan, napili ken napateg. Saanto a maibabain ti siasinoman a mamati kenkuana.”
As Scripture says, “See! I'm setting in Zion its main cornerstone, specially-chosen and valuable. Whoever trusts in him will not be disappointed.”
7 Ti dayaw ngarud ket para kadakayo a mamati. Ngem, “ti bato a linaksid dagiti agipatpatakder, nagbalin daytoy a kangrunaan iti suli”—
He is very valuable to you who do trust. But for those who don't, “The stone the builders rejected that became the main cornerstone”
8 ken, “maysa a bato a pakaitibkulan ken maysa a dakkel a bato a pakaitublakan.” Maitibkulda, ta saanda a nagtulnog iti sao, nga isu met iti nakaitudinganda
is “The stone that trips you up and the rock that makes you fall.” People stumble over this message because they refuse to accept it—which for them is entirely predictable.
9 Ngem dakayo ti napili a puli, naarian a papadi, nasantoan a nasion, tattao a kukua ti Dios, tapno iwaragawagyo dagiti nakakaskasdaaw nga aramid ti nangayab kadakayo a rummuar manipud iti kasipngetan aginggana iti nakakaskasdaaw a lawagna.
In complete contrast, you are a specially-chosen family, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God. Consequently you can reveal the wonderful things he's done, calling you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
10 Ta saankay idi a tattao ti Dios, ngem tattaonakayon ita. Saankayo a nakaassian, ngem nakaassiankayo itan.
In the past you were nobodies, but now you are God's people. In the past you hadn't received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
11 Ay-ayatek, awagankayo a kas ganggannaet ken agdaldaliasat tapno liklikanyo ti managbasol a tarigagay, a manggubgubat iti kararuayo.
My friends, I'm pleading with you as foreigners and strangers in this world not to give in to physical desires that are in conflict with what is spiritual.
12 Masapul nga addaankayo iti nasayaat a kababalin kadagiti Hentil, tapno no agsaritada iti maipanggep kadakayo kas nakaaramidda kadagiti dakes a banbanag, ket makitada dagiti nasayaat nga aramidyo ket idaydayawda iti Dios iti aldaw nga iyaayna.
Be sure to act appropriately when you're with non-Christians, so even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see the good things you do and glorify God when he comes.
13 Agtulnogkayo iti tunggal turay iti tao a maigapu iti Apo, uray iti ari a kas kangatoan unay,
Obey human authority for the Lord's sake, whether it is the king as the highest authority,
14 uray dagiti gobernador a naibaon a mangdusa kadagiti agar-aramid ti kinadakes ken tapno mangidayaw kadagiti agaramid iti nasayaat.
or governors that God appoints to punish those who do evil and to commend those who do good.
15 Ta isu ti pagayatan ti Dios, ta babaen ti panagar-aramidyo ti nasayaat ket pagulimekenyo ti awan serserbina a panagsao dagiti maag a tattao.
By doing what is good and right God wants you to silence the ignorant accusations of foolish people.
16 Kas nawayawayaan a tattao, saanyo a tagikuaen ti wayawayayo a kas pangabbong iti kinadakes, ngem agbalinkayo a kas adipen ti Dios.
Yes, you are free people! So don't use your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but live as God's servants.
17 Raemenyo ti amin a tattao. Ayatenyo dagiti kakabsat. Agbutengkayo iti Dios. Dayawenyo ti ari.
Respect everyone. Show your love to the community of believers. Have reverence for God. Respect the king.
18 Dakayo nga adipen, paiturayankayo kadagiti amoyo nga addaan iti panagraem, saan laeng a dagiti nasayaat ken naanus nga amo, ngem kasta met dagiti nauunget.
If you are a servant then submit to your master—not just those who are good and kind, but those who are harsh masters as well.
19 Ta makaay-ayo iti Dios no makaibtur ti siasinoman iti rigat bayat nga agsagsagaba iti pannakaidadanes gapu iti konsensiana a maiturong iti Dios.
For this is what grace is: to endure life's pain and unfair suffering, keeping your focus on God.
20 Ta ania ti pakaidayawan no agbasolkayo ken agibturkayo bayat a madusdusa? Ngem no nakaaramidkayo iti nasayaat ket agsagabakayo iti pannakadusa, makaay-ayo daytoy iti Dios.
However, there's no credit when you're punished for doing something wrong. But if you suffer for doing what is good and right, and you put up with it, then God's grace is with you.
21 Ta naayabankayo a maipaay iti daytoy, gapu ta nagsagaba met ni Cristo gapu kadakayo, a nangibati kadakayo ti ulidan tapno surotenyo dagiti dalanna.
In fact this is what you were called to do, because Christ suffered for you and gave you an example, so you should follow in his footsteps.
22 Awan ti naaramidna a basol, awan ti nasarakan uray pay ania a panagulbod iti ngiwatna.
He never sinned, he never lied;
23 Idi naumsi isuna, saan isuna a bimmales a nangumsi. Idi nagsagaba isuna, saan namutbuteng, ngem intedna ti bagina iti mangukom a sililinteg.
and when he was badly treated, he didn't retaliate. When he suffered, he didn't threaten to take revenge. He simply placed himself in the hands of the one who always judges rightly.
24 Inawitna mismo dagiti basbasoltayo iti bagina idiay kayo, tapno awanen ti pasettayo iti basol, ken tapno agbiagtayo para iti kinalinteg. Naagasankayo babaen kadagiti sugatna.
He took the consequences of our sins on himself in his body on the cross, so that we could die to sin and live rightly. “By his wounds you are healed.”
25 Naiyaw-awankayo amin a kasla mapukpukaw a karnero, ngem nagsublikayo itan iti pastor ken mangbanbantay kadagiti kararuayo.
At one time you were like sheep who had lost their way, but now you've returned to the Shepherd—the one who watches over you.
