¹Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings,

¹Pange siis maha kogu kurjus ja kogu kavalus ja silmakirjatsemine, kadetsemine ja mis tahes keelepeks!

²As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

²Nagu äsjasündinud lapsed igatsege vaimulikku selget piima, et te selle varal kasvaksite pääste poole,

³If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

³kui te olete tunda saanud, et Issand on helde.

⁴To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

⁴Tulles tema, elava kivi juurde, kes küll inimeste poolt on tunnistatud kõlbmatuks, ent Jumala silmis on valitud ja hinnaline,

⁵Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

⁵laske ka endid ehitada elavate kividena vaimulikuks kojaks. Saage pühaks preesterkonnaks, kes toob vaimulikke ohvreid, mis on Jumalale meelepärased Jeesuse Kristuse kaudu.

⁶Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

⁶Seepärast seisabki Pühakirjas: 'Ennäe, ma panen Siionisse kivi, valitud, hinnalise nurgakivi, ja see, kes usub temasse, ei jää iial häbisse.'

⁷Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

⁷Teile siis, kes te usute, on see au, uskmatuile aga 'kivi, mille ehitajad tunnistasid kõlbmatuks, ning just see on saanud nurgakiviks',

⁸And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

⁸ning 'komistuskiviks' ja 'pahanduskaljuks'. Uskmatud komistavad, sest nad on sõnale allumatud ja selleks nad ongi määratud.

⁹But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

⁹Teie aga olete 'valitud sugu, kuninglik preesterkond, püha rahvas, omandrahvas, et te kuulutaksite tema kiidetavust', kes teid on kutsunud pimedusest oma imelisse valgusse -

¹⁰Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

¹⁰teid, kes te muiste polnud rahvas, nüüd aga olete Jumala rahvas, teie, kelle peale polnud halastatud, nüüd aga on.

¹¹Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

¹¹Armsad, ma manitsen teid kui majalisi ja võõraid siin ilmas - hoiduge lihalikest himudest, mis sõdivad hinge vastu!

¹²Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

¹²Käituge hästi paganate keskel, et kuigi nad teist räägivad paha kui kurjategijaist, siiski, pannes tähele teie häid tegusid, annaksid nad Jumalale au aruandmise päeval.

¹³Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

¹³Alistuge Issanda pärast kogu inimlikule korrale, olgu kuningale kui kõige ülemale,

¹⁴Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

¹⁴olgu maavalitsejale kui tema poolt saadetule kurjategijaid karistama, aga heategijaid kiitma.

¹⁵For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

¹⁵Selline on ju Jumala tahtmine, et te head tehes paneksite vaikima rumalate inimeste arutuse.

¹⁶As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

¹⁶Elage otsekui vabad, ent ärge kasutage oma vabadust kurjuse katteks, vaid olge nagu Jumala sulased!

¹⁷Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

¹⁷Austage kõiki, armastage vendi, kartke Jumalat ja austage kuningat!

¹⁸Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

¹⁸Orjad, alistuge täie aukartusega peremeestele, mitte üksnes headele ja leebetele, vaid ka tujukatele.

¹⁹For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

¹⁹Sest see on arm, kui keegi südametunnistuse pärast Jumala ees talub viletsust, kannatades süütult.

²⁰For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

²⁰Sest mis kuulsus see on, kui teid süü pärast pekstakse ja teie seda peate taluma? Aga kui te head tehes ja kannatades talute peksu, siis on see arm Jumalalt.

²¹For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

²¹Selleks te olete kutsutud, sest ka Kristus kannatas teie eest, jättes teile eeskuju, et te käiksite tema jälgedes.

²²Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

²²'Tema ei teinud pattu ega leitud pettust tema suust';

²³Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

²³ta ei sõimanud vastu, kui teda sõimati; ta kannatas ega ähvardanud, vaid jättis kõik selle hoolde, kes mõistab kohut õiglaselt;

²⁴Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

²⁴ta kandis ise meie patud oma ihus üles ristipuule, et meie, olles surnud pattudele, elaksime õigusele; tema vermete varal te olete saanud terveks.

²⁵For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

²⁵Teie olite ju 'nagu lambad ekslemas', kuid nüüd te olete pöördunud oma hingede Karjase ja Ülevaataja poole.
