1 Deponde, pois, toda malícia, toda astúcia, fingimentos, invejas e toda espécie de maledicência. | 1 וְעַתָּה הָסִירוּ מִכֶּם כָּל־רֶשַׁע וְכָל־מִרְמָה וַחֲנֻפָּה וְקִנְאָה וְכָל־לָשׁוֹן רָע |
2 as newborn babes desire earnestly the pure mental milk of the word, that by it ye may grow up to salvation, | 2 וּכְעֹלֲלִים אֲשֶׁר מִקָּרוֹב נוֹלָדוּ הִתְאַוּוּ לֶחָלָב הַשִּׂכְלִי וְהַזָּךְ לְמַעַן תִּגְדְּלוּ־בוֹ אֶל־הַתְּשׁוּעָה |
3 if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord {is} good. | 3 אִם־אָמְנָם טְעַמְתֶּם כִּי־טוֹב הָאָדוֹן |
4 yourselves also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. | 4 אֲשֶׁר נִגַּשְׁתֶּם אֵלָיו אֶל־אֶבֶן חַיָּה אֲשֶׁר מָאֲסוּ־בָהּ בְּנֵי־הָאָדָם וְהִיא נִבְחָרָה וִיקָרָה לֵאלֹהִים |
5 Because it is contained in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Zion a corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be put to shame. | 5 וְנִבְנֵיתֶם גַּם־אַתֶּם כַּאֲבָנִים חַיּוֹת לְבַיִת רוּחָנִי לִכְהֻנַּת קֹדֶשׁ לְהַעֲלוֹת זִבְחֵי־רוּחַ לְרָצוֹן לֵאלֹהִים בְּיֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ |
6 To you therefore who believe {is} the preciousness; but to the disobedient, the stone which the builders cast away as worthless, this is become head of {the} corner, | 6 וְזֶה הוּא שֶׁאָמַר הַכָּתוּב הִנְנִי יִסַּד בְּצִיּוֹן אֶבֶן פִּנָּה אֶבֶן בֹּחַן וִיקָרָה וְהַמַּאֲמִין בָּהּ לֹא יֵבוֹשׁ |
7 and a stone of stumbling and rock of offence; {who} stumble at the word, being disobedient to which also they have been appointed. | 7 לָכֵן לָכֶם הַמַּאֲמִינִים הַיְקָר אֲבָל לַסּוֹרְרִים הָאֶבֶן אֲשֶׁר מָאֲסוּ הַבּוֹנִים הָיְתָה לְרֹאשׁ פִּנָּה וּלְאֶבֶן נֶגֶף וּלְצוּר מִכְשֹׁל |
8 But *ye* {are} a chosen race, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a people for a possession, that ye might set forth the excellencies of him who has called you out of darkness to his wonderful light; | 8 וְהֵם נִכְשְׁלוּ יַעַן לֹא שָׁמְעוּ לַדָּבָר וְלָזֹאת גַּם־נוֹעָדוּ |
9 who once {were} not a people, but now God?s people; who were not enjoying mercy, but now have found mercy. | 9 וְאַתֶּם הִנְּכֶם זֶרַע נִבְחָר מַמְלֶכֶת כֹּהֲנִים וְגוֹי קָדוֹשׁ וְעַם סְגֻלָּה לְמַעַן תְּסַפְּרוּ תְּהִלּוֹת הַקּוֹרֵא אֶתְכֶם מֵחשֶׁךְ אֶל־אוֹרוֹ הַנִּפְלָא |
10 Beloved, I exhort {you}, as strangers and sojourners, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; | 10 אֲשֶׁר לְפָנִים לֹא־עָם הֱיִיתֶם וְעַתָּה עַם אֱלֹהִים וַאֲשֶׁר לְפָנִים לֹא רֻחָמוּ וְעַתָּה מְרֻחָמִים |
11 having your conversation honest among the Gentiles, that {as to that} in which they speak against you as evildoers, they may through {your} good works, {themselves} witnessing {them}, glorify God in {the} day of visitation. | 11 אֲהוּבִים אַזְהִירְכֶם כְּגֵרִים וְתוֹשָׁבִים הִנָּזְרוּ מִתַּאֲוֺת הַבָּשָׂר הַמִּתְגָּרוֹת בַּנָּפֶשׁ |
12 or to rulers as sent by him, for vengeance on evildoers, and praise to them that do well. | 12 וְהֵיטִיבוּ דַרְכְּכֶם בַּגּוֹיִם לְמַעַן יַבִּיטוּ אֶל־מַעֲשֵׂיכֶם הַטּוֹבִים וְהָיָה תַּחַת אֲשֶׁר חֵרְפוּ אֶתְכֶם כְּפֹעֲלֵי אָוֶן יְכַבְּדוּ אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים בְּיוֹם הַפְּקֻדָּה |
13 Because so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye put to silence the ignorance of senseless men; | 13 וְהִכָּנְעוּ לְכָל־פְּקֻדַּת אָדָם בִּגְלַל הָאָדוֹן אִם־לַמֶּלֶךְ כָּרָאוּי לָרֹאשׁ |
14 as free, and not as having liberty as a cloak of malice, but as God?s bondmen. | 14 אִם־לַמּשְׁלִים כָּרָאוּי לַשְּׁלוּחִים מֵאִתּוֹ לְנִקְמַת פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן וְלִתְהִלַּת עֹשֵׂי טוֹב |
15 Shew honour to all, love the brotherhood, fear God, honour the king. | 15 כִּי כֵן הוּא חֵפֶץ אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר בַּעֲשׂוֹתְכֶם הַטּוֹב תִּסְכְּרוּ אֶת־פִּי אִוֶּלֶת הָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר אֵין־בָּם דָּעַת |
16 Servants, {be} subject with all fear to your masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the ill-tempered. | 16 כַּחָפְשִׁים וְלֹא־כְאִלּוּ הָיְתָה לָכֶם הַחֵרוּת לְמִכְסֵה הָרָעָה כִּי אִם־כְּעַבְדֵי אֱלֹהִים |
17 For this {is} acceptable, if one, for conscience sake towards God, endure griefs, suffering unjustly. | 17 נַהֲגוּ כָבוֹד בְּכָל־אִישׁ אֶהֱבוּ אֵת הָאַחִים יְראוּ אֶת־אֱלֹהִים כַּבְּדוּ אֶת־הַמֶּלֶךְ |
18 For what glory {is it}, if sinning and being buffeted ye shall bear {it}? but if, doing good and suffering, ye shall bear {it}, this is acceptable with God. | 18 הָעֲבָדִים הִכָּנְעוּ לִפְנֵי אֲדֹנֵיכֶם בְּכָל־יִרְאָה לֹא לִפְנֵי הַטּוֹבִים וְהָעֲנָוִים לְבַד כִּי אִם־גַּם־לִפְנֵי הָעִקְּשִׁים |
19 For to this have ye been called; for Christ also has suffered for you, leaving you a model that ye should follow in his steps: | 19 כִּי חֶסֶד הוּא לָאִישׁ אִם־יִשְׂבַּע מַמְּרֹרִים וִיעֻנֶּה חִנָּם לְמַעַן דַּעַת הָאֱלֹהִים |
20 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth; | 20 כִּי אִם־חָטֹא תֶחֶטְאוּ וּסְבַלְתֶּם מַכּוֹת אֶגְרוֹף מַה־תִּתְהַלָּלוּ אַךְ אִם־תְּעֻנּוּ וּסְבַלְתֶּם בַּעֲשׂוֹתְכֶם הַטּוֹב חֶסֶד הוּא מִלִּפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים |
21 who, {when} reviled, reviled not again; {when} suffering, threatened not; but gave {himself} over into the hands of him who judges righteously; | 21 כִּי לָזֹאת נִקְרֵאתֶם כִּי גַם־הַמָּשִׁיחַ עֻנָּה בַעֲבוּרְכֶם וְהִשְׁאִיר לָכֶם מוֹפֵת לָלֶכֶת בְּעִקְּבוֹתָיו |
22 who himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, in order that, being dead to sins, we may live to righteousness: by whose stripes ye have been healed. | 22 אֲשֶׁר חֵטְא לֹא עָשָׂה וְלֹא מִרְמָה בְּפִיו |
23 For ye were going astray as sheep, but have now returned to the shepherd and overseer of your souls. | 23 אֲשֶׁר שָׁמַע חֶרְפָּתוֹ וְלֹא הֵשִׁיב נַעֲנָה וְלֹא גָעַר כִּי אִם־מָסַר דִּינוֹ לַשֹּׁפֵט צֶדֶק וְאֶת־חַטֹּאתֵנוּ הוּא נָשָׂא בִּגְוִיָּתוֹ עַל־הָעֵץ |
| 24 לְמַעַן נִחְיֶה לַצְּדָקָה מֵאַחַר שֶׁנִּפְטַרְנוּ מִן־הַחֲטָאִים |
| 25 אֲשֶׁר בַּחֲבֻרָתוֹ נִרְפָּא לָכֶם כִּי הֱיִיתֶם כְּצֹאן אֹבְדוֹת וְעַתָּה שַׁבְתֶּם אֶל־הָרֹעֶה פְּקִיד נַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶם |
