So give up all the evil things that you do: all your dishonesty, hypocrisy, and jealousy, all the ways you speak badly about others.
| یُشْمابھِح پَرِتْرانایَ ورِدّھِپْراپْتْیَرْتھَں نَوَجاتَشِشُبھِرِوَ پْرَکرِتَں واگْدُگْدھَں پِپاسْیَتاں۔ | 2 |
You should become like newborn babies who only want pure spiritual milk, so you can grow in salvation
| یَتَح پْرَبھُ رْمَدھُرَ ایتَسْیاسْوادَں یُویَں پْراپْتَوَنْتَح۔ | 3 |
now you've tasted how good the Lord really is.
| اَپَرَں مانُشَیرَوَجْناتَسْیَ کِنْتْوِیشْوَرینابھِرُچِتَسْیَ بَہُمُولْیَسْیَ جِیوَتْپْرَسْتَرَسْییوَ تَسْیَ پْرَبھوح سَنِّدھِمْ آگَتا | 4 |
As you come to him—the living stone that people rejected as useless, but is chosen by God and precious to him—
| یُویَمَپِ جِیوَتْپْرَسْتَرا اِوَ نِچِییَمانا آتْمِکَمَنْدِرَں کھْرِیشْٹینَ یِیشُنا چیشْوَرَتوشَکانامْ آتْمِکَبَلِیناں دانارْتھَں پَوِتْرو یاجَکَوَرْگو بھَوَتھَ۔ | 5 |
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.
| یَتَح شاسْتْرے لِکھِتَماسْتے، یَتھا، پَشْیَ پاشانَ ایکو سْتِ سِییونِ سْتھاپِتو مَیا۔ مُکھْیَکونَسْیَ یوگْیَح سَ ورِتَشْچاتِیوَ مُولْیَوانْ۔ یو جَنو وِشْوَسیتْ تَسْمِنْ سَ لَجّاں نَ گَمِشْیَتِ۔ | 6 |
As Scripture says, “See! I'm setting in Zion its main cornerstone, specially-chosen and valuable. Whoever trusts in him will not be disappointed.”
| وِشْواسِناں یُشْماکَمیوَ سَمِیپے سَ مُولْیَوانْ بھَوَتِ کِنْتْوَوِشْواسِناں کرِتے نِچیترِبھِرَوَجْناتَح سَ پاشانَح کونَسْیَ بھِتِّمُولَں بھُوتْوا بادھاجَنَکَح پاشانَح سْکھَلَنَکارَکَشْچَ شَیلو جاتَح۔ | 7 |
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”
| تے چاوِشْواسادْ واکْیینَ سْکھَلَنْتِ سْکھَلَنے چَ نِیُکْتاح سَنْتِ۔ | 8 |
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.
| کِنْتُ یُویَں یینانْدھَکارَمَدھْیاتْ سْوَکِییاشْچَرْیَّدِیپْتِمَدھْیَمْ آہُوتاسْتَسْیَ گُنانْ پْرَکاشَیِتُمْ اَبھِرُچِتو وَںشو راجَکِییو یاجَکَوَرْگَح پَوِتْرا جاتِرَدھِکَرْتَّوْیاح پْرَجاشْچَ جاتاح۔ | 9 |
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.
| پُورْوَّں یُویَں تَسْیَ پْرَجا نابھَوَتَ کِنْتْوِدانِیمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ پْرَجا آدھْوے۔ پُورْوَّمْ اَنَنُکَمْپِتا اَبھَوَتَ کِنْتْوِدانِیمْ اَنُکَمْپِتا آدھْوے۔ | 10 |
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.
| ہے پْرِیَتَماح، یُویَں پْرَواسِنو وِدیشِنَشْچَ لوکا اِوَ مَنَسَح پْراتِکُولْیینَ یودھِبھْیَح شارِیرِکَسُکھابھِلاشیبھْیو نِوَرْتَّدھْوَمْ اِتْیَہَں وِنَیے۔ | 11 |
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.
| دیوَپُوجَکاناں مَدھْیے یُشْماکَمْ آچارَ ایوَمْ اُتَّمو بھَوَتُ یَتھا تے یُشْمانْ دُشْکَرْمَّکارِلوکانِوَ پُنَ رْنَ نِنْدَنْتَح کرِپادرِشْٹِدِنے سْوَچَکْشُرْگوچَرِییَسَتْکْرِیابھْیَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ پْرَشَںساں کُرْیُّح۔ | 12 |
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.
| تَتو ہیتو رْیُویَں پْرَبھورَنُرودھاتْ مانَوَسرِشْٹاناں کَرْترِتْوَپَداناں وَشِیبھَوَتَ وِشیشَتو بھُوپالَسْیَ یَتَح سَ شْریشْٹھَح، | 13 |
Obey human authority for the Lord's sake, whether it is the king as the highest authority,
| دیشادھْیَکْشانانْچَ یَتَسْتے دُشْکَرْمَّکارِناں دَنْڈَدانارْتھَں سَتْکَرْمَّکارِناں پْرَشَںسارْتھَنْچَ تینَ پْریرِتاح۔ | 14 |
or governors that God appoints to punish those who do evil and to commend those who do good.
| اِتّھَں نِرْبّودھَمانُشانامْ اَجْنانَتْوَں یَتْ سَداچارِبھِ رْیُشْمابھِ رْنِرُتَّرِیکْرِیَتے تَدْ اِیشْوَرَسْیابھِمَتَں۔ | 15 |
By doing what is good and right God wants you to silence the ignorant accusations of foolish people.
| یُویَں سْوادھِینا اِواچَرَتَ تَتھاپِ دُشْٹَتایا ویشَسْوَرُوپاں سْوادھِینَتاں دھارَیَنْتَ اِوَ نَہِ کِنْتْوِیشْوَرَسْیَ داسا اِوَ۔ | 16 |
Yes, you are free people! So don't use your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but live as God's servants.
| سَرْوّانْ سَمادْرِیَدھْوَں بھْراترِوَرْگے پْرِییَدھْوَمْ اِیشْوَرادْ بِبھِیتَ بھُوپالَں سَمَّنْیَدھْوَں۔ | 17 |
Respect everyone. Show your love to the community of believers. Have reverence for God. Respect the king.
| ہے داساح یُویَں سَمْپُورْنادَرینَ پْرَبھُوناں وَشْیا بھَوَتَ کیوَلَں بھَدْراناں دَیالُونانْچَ نَہِ کِنْتْوَنرِجُونامَپِ۔ | 18 |
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.
| یَتو نْیایینَ دُحکھَبھوگَکالَ اِیشْوَرَچِنْتَیا یَتْ کْلیشَسَہَنَں تَدیوَ پْرِیَں۔ | 19 |
For this is what grace is: to endure life's pain and unfair suffering, keeping your focus on God.
| پاپَں کرِتْوا یُشْماکَں چَپیٹاگھاتَسَہَنینَ کا پْرَشَںسا؟ کِنْتُ سَداچارَں کرِتْوا یُشْماکَں یَدْ دُحکھَسَہَنَں تَدیویشْوَرَسْیَ پْرِیَں۔ | 20 |
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.
| تَدَرْتھَمیوَ یُویَمْ آہُوتا یَتَح کھْرِیشْٹوپِ یُشْمَنِّمِتَّں دُحکھَں بھُکْتْوا یُویَں یَتْ تَسْیَ پَدَچِہْنَے رْوْرَجیتَ تَدَرْتھَں درِشْٹانْتَمیکَں دَرْشِتَوانْ۔ | 21 |
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.
| سَ کِمَپِ پاپَں نَ کرِتَوانْ تَسْیَ وَدَنے کاپِ چھَلَسْیَ کَتھا ناسِیتْ۔ | 22 |
He never sinned, he never lied;
| نِنْدِتو پِ سَنْ سَ پْرَتِنِنْداں نَ کرِتَوانْ دُحکھَں سَہَمانو پِ نَ بھَرْتْسِتَوانْ کِنْتُ یَتھارْتھَوِچارَیِتُح سَمِیپے سْوَں سَمَرْپِتَوانْ۔ | 23 |
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.
| وَیَں یَتْ پاپیبھْیو نِورِتْیَ دھَرْمّارْتھَں جِیوامَسْتَدَرْتھَں سَ سْوَشَرِیریناسْماکَں پاپانِ کْرُشَ اُوڈھَوانْ تَسْیَ پْرَہارَے رْیُویَں سْوَسْتھا اَبھَوَتَ۔ | 24 |
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.”
| یَتَح پُورْوَّں یُویَں بھْرَمَنَکارِمیشا اِوادھْوَں کِنْتْوَدھُنا یُشْماکَمْ آتْمَناں پالَکَسْیادھْیَکْشَسْیَ چَ سَمِیپَں پْرَتْیاوَرْتِّتاح۔ | 25 |
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.
