伯多禄前书:Chapter 2

伯多禄前书	1 Peter
¹所以你们应放弃各种邪恶、各种欺诈、虚伪、嫉妒和各种诽谤，	¹So, give up all evil and deceit, hypocrisy, envy and every kind of gossip.
²应如初生的婴儿贪求属灵性的纯奶，为使你们靠着它生长，以致得救；	²Like newborn children, seek eagerly for the pure milk of the Word which will help you grow and reach salvation.
³何况你们已尝到了「主是何等的甘饴。」	³Did you not taste the goodness of the Lord?
⁴你们接近了他，即接近了那为人所摈弃，但为天主所精选，所尊重的活石，	⁴He is the living stone rejected by people but chosen by God and precious to him.
⁵你们也就成了活石，建成一座属神的殿宇，成为一班圣洁的司祭，以奉献因耶稣基督而中悦天主的属神的祭品。	⁵On drawing close to him, you also became living stones built into a spiritual temple, a holy community of priests offering spiritual sacrifices which please God through Jesus Christ.
⁶这就是经上所记载的：「看，我要在熙雍安放一块精选的，宝贵的基石，凡信赖他的，决不会蒙羞。」	⁶Scripture says: See, I lay in Zion a chosen and precious cornerstone; whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.
⁷所以为你们信赖的人，是一种荣幸；但为不信赖的人，是「匠人弃而不用的石头，反而成了屋角的基石」；	⁷This means honor for you who believed, but for unbelievers also the stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone
⁸并且是「一块绊脚石，和一块使人跌倒的磐石。」他们由于不相信天主的话，而绊倒了，这也是为他们预定了的。	⁸and it is a stone to stumble over, a rock which lays people low. They stumble over it in rejecting the Word, but the plan of God is fulfilled in this.
⁹至于你们，你们却是特选的种族，王家的司祭，圣洁的国民，属于主的民族，为叫你们宣扬那由黑暗中召叫你们，进入他奇妙之光者的荣耀。	⁹You are a chosen race, a community of priest-kings, a consecrated nation, a people God has made his own to proclaim his wonders. For he called you from your darkness to his own wonderful light.
¹⁰你们从前不是天主的人民，如今却是天主的人民；从前没有蒙受爱怜，如今却蒙受了爱怜。	¹⁰At one stage you were no people, but now you are God's people, you had not received his mercy, but now you have been given mercy.
¹¹亲爱的！我劝你们作侨民和作旅客的，应戒绝与灵魂作战的肉欲；	¹¹Beloved, while you are strangers and exiles, I urge you not to indulge in selfish passions which wage war on the soul.
¹²在外教人中要常保持良好的品行，好使那些诽谤你们为作恶者的人，因见到你们的善行，而在主眷顾的日子，归光荣于天主。	¹²Live a blameless life among the pagans; so when they accuse you falsely of any wrong, they may see your good works and give glory to God on the day he comes to them.
¹³你们要为主的缘故，服从人立的一切制度：或是服从帝王为最高的元首，	¹³For the Lord's sake, respect all human authority: the king as chief authority,
¹⁴或是服从帝王派遣来惩罚作恶者，奖赏行善者的总督，	¹⁴the governors as sent by him to punish evildoers and to encourage those who do good.
¹⁵因为这原是天主的旨意：要你们行善，使那些愚蒙无知的人，闭口无言。	¹⁵And God wants you to do good so that you may silence those fools who ignorantly criticize you.
¹⁶你们要做自由的人，却不可做以自由为掩饰邪恶的人，但该做天主的仆人；	¹⁶Behave as free people but do not speak of freedom as a license for vice; you are free men and God's servants.
¹⁷要尊敬众人，友爱弟兄，敬畏天主，尊敬君王。	¹⁷Reverence each person, love your brothers and sisters, fear God and show respect to the emperor.
¹⁸你们做家仆的，要以完全敬畏的心服从主人，不但对良善和温柔的，就是对残暴的，也该如此。	¹⁸Servants must respect their masters, not only those who are good and understanding but also those who are difficult.
¹⁹谁若明知是天主的旨意，而忍受不义的痛苦：这才是中悦天主的事。	¹⁹For there is merit in putting up with unprovoked suffering, for the sake of God.
²⁰若你们因犯罪被打而受苦，那还有什么光荣？但若因行善而受苦，而坚心忍耐：这才是中悦天主的事。	²⁰What merit would there be in taking a beating when you have done wrong? But if you endure punishment when you have done well, that is a grace before God.
²¹你们原是为此而蒙召的，因为基督也为你们受了苦，给你们留下了榜样，叫你们追随他的足迹。	²¹This is your calling: remember Christ who suffered for you, leaving you an example so that you may follow in his way.
²²「他没有犯过罪，他口中也从未出过谎言」；	²²He did no wrong and there was no deceit in his mouth.
²³他受辱骂，却不还骂；他受虐待，却不报复，只将自己交给那照正义行审判的天主；	²³He did not return insult for insult and, when suffering, he did not curse but put himself in the hands of God who judges justly.
²⁴他在自己的身上，亲自承担了我们的罪过，上了木架，为叫我们死于罪恶，而活于正义；「你们是因他的创伤而获得了痊愈。」	²⁴He went to the cross burdened with our sins so that we might die to sin and live an upright life. For by his wounds you have been healed.
²⁵你们从前有如迷途的亡羊，如今却被领回，归依你们的灵牧和监督。	²⁵You were like stray sheep, but you have come back to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.
