¹Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,

¹Kkset seg ulawen-nwen cceṛ, tiḥila, tismin ; ur seɛɛut ara sin wudmawen, ur țmeslayet ara ayen n diri ɣef wiyaḍ.

²as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby,

²Am llufan illuẓen ayefki n yemma-s, nadit ula d kunwi aț-țeṛwum awal n Sidi Ṛebbi iwakken aț-țimɣuṛem, aț-tețțuselkem,

³if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious:

³ma yella tjeṛbem acḥal yelha Sidi Ṛebbi !

⁴coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.

⁴Qeṛṛbet ɣuṛ-es nețța yellan d-azṛu nni yeddren i ḍeggṛen yemdanen, meɛna Sidi Ṛebbi ixtaṛ-it, axaṭer azal-is meqqeṛ.

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

⁵Ula d kunwi yellan am izṛa yeddren, dduklet iwakken ad ibedd wexxam i deg ara izdeɣ Ṛṛuḥ n Sidi Ṛebbi. Aț-țilim ț-țajmaɛt n lmuqedmin ara iqeddmen s yisem n Ssid-nneɣ Ɛisa Lmasiḥ, iseflawen iqedsen ara iɛeǧben i Sidi Ṛebbi.

⁶Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen, and precious: He who believes in him will not be disappointed.” Isaiah 28:16

⁶Axaṭer atan wayen yuran di tira iqedsen : Xtaṛeɣ-ed azṛu+ yesɛan azal d ameqqran+ , sserseɣ-t deg udrar n Siyun,+ d nețța i geṭṭfen lebni,+ win ara yamnen yis ur ineddem ara.+

⁷For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected, has become the chief cornerstone,” Psalm 118:22

⁷Amarezg-nwen kunwi yumnen yis. Ma d wid ur numin ara : Adɣaɣ-nni ḍeggṛen wid ibennun,+ d nețța i guɣalen d azṛu alemmas,+ Win yeṭṭfen lebni. +

⁸and, “a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.” Isaiah 8:14 For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

⁸D wagi i d azṛu + i guɣalen d ugur i yemdanen, + d azṛu i ten-isseɣlayen+ . Imi ugin ad amnen s wawal n Sidi Ṛebbi, ayen i ten-ițṛaǧun d ugur-agi ara ten-iɣeḍlen.

⁹But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

⁹Kunwi d arraw n laṣel ițwaxtaṛen, d lmuqedmin n ugellid, d lǧens iṣfan, d agdud i d-ițwacefɛen. Tețwaxtaṛem iwakken aț-țbecṛem lecɣal yelhan n Sidi Ṛebbi, i kkun-id issufɣen si ṭṭlam yewwi-kkun-id ɣer tafat-is isteɛǧiben.

¹⁰who in time past were no people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

¹⁰Zik-nni ur tewwiḍem ara ula d lǧens, ma ț-țura tuɣalem d agdud n Sidi Ṛebbi ; tellam zik-nni ur tesɛim ara ṛṛeḥma n Sidi Ṛebbi ma ț-țura tețțunefk-awen-d.

¹¹Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

¹¹A wid eɛzizen ! Kunwi yellan d ibeṛṛaniyen, d imsebriden di ddunit a kkun-nhuɣ aț-țettixṛem i lebɣi n tnefsit i gețnaɣen d ṛṛuḥ-nwen.

¹²having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.

¹²Sɛut tikli ilhan ger wid ur nessin ara Sidi Ṛebbi, iwakken ɣas a d-skidben fell-awen, neɣ xedmen awen cceṛ ; m' ara walin lecɣal-nwen ilhan ad ḥemden Sidi Ṛebbi asm' ara d-yerzu ɣuṛ-sen.

¹³Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;

¹³Ɣef ddemma n Sidi Ṛebbi qadṛet wid iḥekmen. Qadṛet agellid imi d nețța i gḥekmen,

¹⁴or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.

¹⁴qadṛet ineɣlafen-is imi d nețța i ten-isbedden iwakken ad ɛaqben imcumen, ad cekkṛen wid i gțeddun s lḥeqq.

¹⁵For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

¹⁵Xedmet ayen yelhan iwakken aț-țerrem takmamt i imejhal ur nefhim ; d wagi i d lebɣi n Sidi Ṛebbi.

¹⁶as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.

¹⁶Ilit d ilelliyen, meɛna ur ssexdamet ara tilelli-nwen iwakken aț-țɣummem cceṛ i txeddmem, ilit d iqeddacen n Sidi Ṛebbi.

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

¹⁷Qadṛet imdanen meṛṛa ; ḥemmlet atmaten nwen, ḍuɛet Sidi Ṛebbi, qadṛet agellid.

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

¹⁸Ay iqeddacen ! Ilaq aț-qadṛem imɛellmen nwen, aɣet-asen awal ama i wid ilhan ḥninen, ama i wid iweɛṛen.

¹⁹For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.

¹⁹D ayen ilhan i win iṣebbṛen m' ara iɛeddi fell-as lbaṭel ilmend n ṭṭaɛa n Sidi Ṛebbi.

²⁰For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.

²⁰Ma tețwaɛaqbem imi txedmem kra n diri, ma tṣebṛem i wannect-agi, anwa ara kkun-icekkṛen ? Meɛna ma iɛedda fell-awen lbaṭel, mi txedmem ayen yelhan, tṣebṛem, d ayen yelhan ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi.

²¹For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you TR reads “us” instead of “you” an example, that you should follow his steps,

²¹Ɣer wannect-agi i wen-d-issawel Sidi Ṛebbi, axaṭer Lmasiḥ s yiman-is inneɛtab fell-awen, iǧǧa-yawen-d lemtel iwakken aț țeddum di lateṛ-is.

²²who did not sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.” Isaiah 53:9

²²Nețța ur nednib, leɛmeṛ ur d-iffiɣ lekdeb seg imi-s.

²³Who, when he was cursed, didn’t curse back. When he suffered, didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;

²³Nețța ițwaregmen ur d-yerri rregmat, qehṛen-t ur d-irfid afus-is ɣer yiwen ; lameɛna yerra kullec ger ifassen n win i gḥekmen s lḥeqq.

²⁴who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

²⁴Nețța i gɛebban ddnubat-nneɣ, ițwasemmeṛ ɣef wumidag iwakken a nili am wid yemmuten ɣef wayen yeɛnan ddnub axaṭer ddnub ur isɛi ara tazmert ɣef wid immuten. S wakka, tura ur nețɛici ara di ddnub meɛna di lḥeqq, akken yura : Di leǧruḥ-is i tufam ḥellu. +

²⁵For you were going astray like sheep; but now have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer “Overseer” is from the Greek episkopon, which can mean overseer, curator, guardian, or superintendent. of your souls.

²⁵Zik tellam am ulli iɛeṛqen, ma ț-țura, tuɣalem ɣer umeksa ițɛassan ɣef teṛwiḥin-nwen.
