¹Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,

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

²as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation;

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

³if ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious:

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

⁴unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious,

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

⁵ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

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

⁶Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

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

⁷For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was 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; for they 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 elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for [God's] own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who 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 -

¹⁰who in time past were no people, but now are the people of God: who 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.

¹¹Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lust, which war against the soul;

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

¹²having your behavior seemly among the Gentiles; that, wherein they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by your good works, which they 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.

¹³Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;

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

¹⁴or unto governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to them that do well.

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

¹⁵For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should 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 freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.

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

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

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

¹⁸Servants, [be] in subjection 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 acceptable, if for conscience toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully.

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

²⁰For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted [for it], ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye shall 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 hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you 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 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 body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might 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 going astray like sheep; 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.
