Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

بُطْرُسُ، رَسُولُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، إِلَى ٱلْمُتَغَرِّبِينَ مِنْ شَتَاتِ بُنْتُسَ وَغَلَاطِيَّةَ وَكَبَّدُوكِيَّةَ وَأَسِيَّا وَبِيثِينِيَّةَ، ٱلْمُخْتَارِينَ

κατὰ πρόγνωσιν Θεοῦ Πατρός, ἐν ἁγιασμῷ Πνεύματος, εἰς ὑπακοὴν καὶ ῥαντισμὸν αἵματος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ· χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη πληθυνθείη.

2

Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

بِمُقْتَضَى عِلْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلْآبِ ٱلسَّابِقِ، فِي تَقْدِيسِ ٱلرُّوحِ لِلطَّاعَةِ، وَرَشِّ دَمِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ: لِتُكْثَرْ لَكُمُ ٱلنِّعْمَةُ وَٱلسَّلَامُ.

Εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεὸς καὶ Πατὴρ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὁ κατὰ τὸ πολὺ αὐτοῦ ἔλεος ἀναγεννήσας ἡμᾶς εἰς ἐλπίδα ζῶσαν δι’ ἀναστάσεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐκ νεκρῶν,

3

Blessed {be} the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, {abundant: Gr. much}

مُبَارَكٌ ٱللهُ أَبُو رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٱلَّذِي حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِهِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ وَلَدَنَا ثَانِيَةً لِرَجَاءٍ حَيٍّ، بِقِيَامَةِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ،

ܘܠܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܒܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܛܢܦܐ ܘܠܐ ܚܡܝܐ ܗܝ ܕܡܛܝܒܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܫܡܝܐ

εἰς κληρονομίαν ἄφθαρτον καὶ ἀμίαντον καὶ ἀμάραντον, τετηρημένην ἐν οὐρανοῖς εἰς ὑμᾶς

4

To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, {for you: or, for us}

لِمِيرَاثٍ لَا يَفْنَى وَلَا يَتَدَنَّسُ وَلَا يَضْمَحِلُّ، مَحْفُوظٌ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ لِأَجْلِكُمْ،

ܟܕ ܢܛܝܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܠܚܝܐ ܕܡܛܝܒܝܢ ܕܢܬܓܠܘܢ ܠܙܒܢܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ

τοὺς ἐν δυνάμει Θεοῦ φρουρουμένους διὰ πίστεως εἰς σωτηρίαν ἑτοίμην ἀποκαλυφθῆναι ἐν καιρῷ ἐσχάτῳ.

5

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

أَنْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ بِقُوَّةِ ٱللهِ مَحْرُوسُونَ، بِإِيمَانٍ، لِخَلَاصٍ مُسْتَعَدٍّ أَنْ يُعْلَنَ فِي ٱلزَّمَانِ ٱلْأَخِيرِ.

ἐν ᾧ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε, ὀλίγον ἄρτι εἰ δέον λυπηθέντες ἐν ποικίλοις πειρασμοῖς,

6

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

ٱلَّذِي بِهِ تَبْتَهِجُونَ، مَعَ أَنَّكُمُ ٱلْآنَ \- إِنْ كَانَ يَجِبُ \- تُحْزَنُونَ يَسِيرًا بِتَجَارِبَ مُتَنَوِّعَةٍ،

ἵνα τὸ δοκίμιον ὑμῶν τῆς πίστεως πολυτιμότερον χρυσίου τοῦ ἀπολλυμένου, διὰ πυρὸς δὲ δοκιμαζομένου, εὑρεθῇ εἰς ἔπαινον καὶ δόξαν καὶ τιμὴν ἐν ἀποκαλύψει Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ·

7

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

لِكَيْ تَكُونَ تَزْكِيَةُ إِيمَانِكُمْ، وَهِيَ أَثْمَنُ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلْفَانِي، مَعَ أَنَّهُ يُمْتَحَنُ بِٱلنَّارِ، تُوجَدُ لِلْمَدْحِ وَٱلْكَرَامَةِ وَٱلْمَجْدِ عِنْدَ ٱسْتِعْلَانِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܚܙܝܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܡܚܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܘܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܗ ܪܘܙܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܡܫܒܚܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܡܠܠܐ

ὃν οὐκ ἰδόντες ἀγαπᾶτε, εἰς ὃν ἄρτι μὴ ὁρῶντες πιστεύοντες δὲ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε χαρᾷ ἀνεκλαλήτῳ καὶ δεδοξασμένῃ,

8

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see {him} not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

ٱلَّذِي وَإِنْ لَمْ تَرَوْهُ تُحِبُّونَهُ. ذَلِكَ وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تَرَوْنَهُ ٱلْآنَ لَكِنْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ، فَتَبْتَهِجُونَ بِفَرَحٍ لَا يُنْطَقُ بِهِ وَمَجِيدٍ،

ܕܬܩܒܠܘܢ ܦܘܪܥܢܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܚܝܐ ܕܢܦܫܬܟܘܢ

κομιζόμενοι τὸ τέλος τῆς πίστεως σωτηρίαν ψυχῶν.

9

Receiving the end of your faith, {even} the salvation of {your} souls.

نَائِلِينَ غَايَةَ إِيمَانِكُمْ خَلَاصَ ٱلنُّفُوسِ.

ܗܢܘܢ ܚܝܐ ܕܥܩܒܘ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܟܕ ܐܬܢܒܝܘ ܥܠ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܕܥܬܝܕܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܬܬܝܗܒ ܠܟܘܢ

περὶ ἧς σωτηρίας ἐξεζήτησαν καὶ ἐξηραύνησαν προφῆται οἱ περὶ τῆς εἰς ὑμᾶς χάριτος προφητεύσαντες,

10

Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace {that should come} unto you:

ٱلْخَلَاصَ ٱلَّذِي فَتَّشَ وَبَحَثَ عَنْهُ أَنْبِيَاءُ، ٱلَّذِينَ تَنَبَّأُوا عَنِ ٱلنِّعْمَةِ ٱلَّتِي لِأَجْلِكُمْ،

ܘܒܨܘ ܕܒܐܝܢܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܡܚܘܝܐ ܘܡܣܗܕܐ ܪܘܚܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܥܡܪܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܕܥܬܝܕܝܢ ܚܫܘܗܝ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܗ ܕܡܢ ܒܬܪܟܢ

ἐραυνῶντες εἰς τίνα ἢ ποῖον καιρὸν ἐδήλου τὸ ἐν αὐτοῖς Πνεῦμα Χριστοῦ προμαρτυρόμενον τὰ εἰς Χριστὸν παθήματα καὶ τὰς μετὰ ταῦτα δόξας·

11

Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

بَاحِثِينَ أَيُّ وَقْتٍ أَوْ مَا ٱلْوَقْتُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَدِلُّ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ ٱلْمَسِيحِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِمْ، إِذْ سَبَقَ فَشَهِدَ بِٱلْآلَامِ ٱلَّتِي لِلْمَسِيحِ، وَٱلْأَمْجَادِ ٱلَّتِي بَعْدَهَا.

ܘܐܬܓܠܝ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܠ ܕܒܨܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܘ ܠܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܠܐ ܠܢ ܕܝܠܢ ܡܬܢܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܫܐ ܐܬܓܠܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܝܕ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܣܒܪܢܟܘܢ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܕܐܫܬܕܪ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܕܒܗܝܢ ܒܗܠܝܢ ܡܬܪܓܪܓܝܢ ܐܦ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܢܕܝܩܘܢ

οἷς ἀπεκαλύφθη ὅτι οὐχ ἑαυτοῖς ὑμῖν δὲ διηκόνουν αὐτά, ἃ νῦν ἀνηγγέλη ὑμῖν διὰ τῶν εὐαγγελισαμένων ὑμᾶς ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ ἀποσταλέντι ἀπ’ οὐρανοῦ, εἰς ἃ ἐπιθυμοῦσιν ἄγγελοι παρακύψαι.

12

Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

ٱلَّذِينَ أُعْلِنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ لَيْسَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ، بَلْ لَنَا كَانُوا يَخْدِمُونَ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلَّتِي أُخْبِرْتُمْ بِهَا أَنْتُمُ ٱلْآنَ، بِوَاسِطَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَشَّرُوكُمْ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. ٱلَّتِي تَشْتَهِي ٱلْمَلَائِكَةُ أَنْ تَطَّلِعَ عَلَيْهَا.

ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܚܙܘܩܘ ܚܨܐ ܕܬܪܥܝܬܟܘܢ ܘܐܬܬܥܝܪܘ ܓܡܝܪܐܝܬ ܘܣܒܪܘ ܥܠ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܝܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܓܠܝܢܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ

Διὸ ἀναζωσάμενοι τὰς ὀσφύας τῆς διανοίας ὑμῶν, νήφοντες, τελείως ἐλπίσατε ἐπὶ τὴν φερομένην ὑμῖν χάριν ἐν ἀποκαλύψει Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.

13

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; {to the end: Gr. perfectly}

لِذَلِكَ مَنْطِقُوا أَحْقَاءَ ذِهْنِكُمْ صَاحِينَ، فَأَلْقُوا رَجَاءَكُمْ بِٱلتَّمَامِ عَلَى ٱلنِّعْمَةِ ٱلَّتِي يُؤْتَى بِهَا إِلَيْكُمْ عِنْدَ ٱسْتِعْلَانِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

ܐܝܟ ܒܢܝܐ ܡܫܬܡܥܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܬܘܬܦܘܢ ܬܘܒ ܠܪܓܝܓܬܟܘܢ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܪܓܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܒܝܕܥܬܐ

ὡς τέκνα ὑπακοῆς, μὴ συσχηματιζόμενοι ταῖς πρότερον ἐν τῇ ἀγνοίᾳ ὑμῶν ἐπιθυμίαις,

14

As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

كَأَوْلَادِ ٱلطَّاعَةِ، لَا تُشَاكِلُوا شَهَوَاتِكُمُ ٱلسَّابِقَةَ فِي جَهَالَتِكُمْ،

ܐܠܐ ܗܘܘ ܩܕܝܫܝܢ ܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܗܘܦܟܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܩܕܝܫ ܗܘ ܡܢ ܕܩܪܟܘܢ

ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὸν καλέσαντα ὑμᾶς ἅγιον καὶ αὐτοὶ ἅγιοι ἐν πάσῃ ἀναστροφῇ γενήθητε,

15

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

بَلْ نَظِيرَ ٱلْقُدُّوسِ ٱلَّذِي دَعَاكُمْ، كُونُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا قِدِّيسِينَ فِي كُلِّ سِيرَةٍ.

ܡܛܠ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܩܕܝܫܝܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܩܕܝܫ ܐܢܐ

διότι γέγραπται Ἅγιοι ἔσεσθε, ὅτι ἐγὼ ἅγιος.

16

Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

لِأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: «كُونُوا قِدِّيسِينَ لِأَنِّي أَنَا قُدُّوسٌ».

ܘܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܐܒܐ ܩܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܠܝܬ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܡܣܒ ܒܐܦܐ ܘܕܐܢ ܠܟܠܢܫ ܐܝܟ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܒܕܚܠܬܐ ܐܬܕܒܪܘ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܬܘܬܒܘܬܟܘܢ

καὶ εἰ Πατέρα ἐπικαλεῖσθε τὸν ἀπροσωπολήμπτως κρίνοντα κατὰ τὸ ἑκάστου ἔργον, ἐν φόβῳ τὸν τῆς παροικίας ὑμῶν χρόνον ἀναστράφητε,

17

And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning {here} in fear:

وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَدْعُونَ أَبًا ٱلَّذِي يَحْكُمُ بِغَيْرِ مُحَابَاةٍ حَسَبَ عَمَلِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ، فَسِيرُوا زَمَانَ غُرْبَتِكُمْ بِخَوْفٍ،

εἰδότες ὅτι οὐ φθαρτοῖς, ἀργυρίῳ ἢ χρυσίῳ, ἐλυτρώθητε ἐκ τῆς ματαίας ὑμῶν ἀναστροφῆς πατροπαραδότου,

18

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, {as} silver and gold, from your vain conversation {received} by tradition from your fathers;

عَالِمِينَ أَنَّكُمُ ٱفْتُدِيتُمْ لَا بِأَشْيَاءَ تَفْنَى، بِفِضَّةٍ أَوْ ذَهَبٍ، مِنْ سِيرَتِكُمُ ٱلْبَاطِلَةِ ٱلَّتِي تَقَلَّدْتُمُوهَا مِنَ ٱلْآبَاءِ،

ܐܠܐ ܒܕܡܐ ܝܩܝܪܐ ܕܐܡܪܐ ܕܡܘܡܐ ܘܛܘܠܫܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܫܝܚܐ

ἀλλὰ τιμίῳ αἵματι ὡς ἀμνοῦ ἀμώμου καὶ ἀσπίλου Χριστοῦ,

19

But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

بَلْ بِدَمٍ كَرِيمٍ، كَمَا مِنْ حَمَلٍ بِلَا عَيْبٍ وَلَا دَنَسٍ، دَمِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

ܗܘ ܕܡܩܕܡ ܗܘܐ ܦܪܝܫ ܠܗܕܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܬܪܡܝܬܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܘܐܬܓܠܝ ܒܐܚܪܝܬܗܘܢ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ

προεγνωσμένου μὲν πρὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου, φανερωθέντος δὲ ἐπ’ ἐσχάτου τῶν χρόνων δι’ ὑμᾶς

20

Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

مَعْرُوفًا سَابِقًا قَبْلَ تَأْسِيسِ ٱلْعَالَمِ، وَلَكِنْ قَدْ أُظْهِرَ فِي ٱلْأَزْمِنَةِ ٱلْأَخِيرَةِ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ،

ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܐܝܕܗ ܗܝܡܢܬܘܢ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܩܝܡܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܣܒܪܟܘܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܐܠܗܐ

τοὺς δι’ αὐτοῦ πιστοὺς εἰς Θεὸν τὸν ἐγείραντα αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν καὶ δόξαν αὐτῷ δόντα, ὥστε τὴν πίστιν ὑμῶν καὶ ἐλπίδα εἶναι εἰς Θεόν.

21

Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

أَنْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ بِهِ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ وَأَعْطَاهُ مَجْدًا، حَتَّى إِنَّ إِيمَانَكُمْ وَرَجَاءَكُمْ هُمَا فِي ٱللهِ.

ܟܕ ܢܗܘܝܢ ܩܕܝܫܢ ܢܦܫܬܟܘܢ ܒܡܫܬܡܥܢܘܬܗ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܘܢܗܘܝܢ ܡܠܝܢ ܚܘܒܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܣܒ ܒܐܦܐ ܕܡܢ ܠܒܐ ܕܟܝܐ ܘܓܡܝܪܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܚܒܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ

Τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν ἡγνικότες ἐν τῇ ὑπακοῇ τῆς ἀληθείας εἰς φιλαδελφίαν ἀνυπόκριτον, ἐκ καρδίας ἀλλήλους ἀγαπήσατε ἐκτενῶς,

22

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, {see that ye} love one another with a pure heart fervently:

طَهِّرُوا نُفُوسَكُمْ فِي طَاعَةِ ٱلْحَقِّ بِٱلرُّوحِ لِلْمَحَبَّةِ ٱلْأَخَوِيَّةِ ٱلْعَدِيمَةِ ٱلرِّيَاءِ، فَأَحِبُّوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا مِنْ قَلْبٍ طَاهِرٍ بِشِدَّةٍ.

ἀναγεγεννημένοι οὐκ ἐκ σπορᾶς φθαρτῆς ἀλλὰ ἀφθάρτου, διὰ λόγου ζῶντος Θεοῦ καὶ μένοντος.

23

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

مَوْلُودِينَ ثَانِيَةً، لَا مِنْ زَرْعٍ يَفْنَى، بَلْ مِمَّا لَا يَفْنَى، بِكَلِمَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيَّةِ ٱلْبَاقِيَةِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠ ܒܣܪ ܥܡܝܪܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܝܐܝܘܬܗ ܐܝܟ ܥܘܦܝܐ ܕܚܩܠܐ ܝܒܫ ܥܡܝܪܐ ܘܚܡܐ ܥܘܦܝܐ

διότι πᾶσα σὰρξ ὡς χόρτος, καὶ πᾶσα δόξα αὐτῆς ὡς ἄνθος χόρτου· ἐξηράνθη ὁ χόρτος, καὶ τὸ ἄνθος ἐξέπεσεν·

24

For all flesh {is} as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: {For: or, For that}

لِأَنَّ: «كُلَّ جَسَدٍ كَعُشْبٍ، وَكُلَّ مَجْدِ إِنْسَانٍ كَزَهْرِ عُشْبٍ. ٱلْعُشْبُ يَبِسَ وَزَهْرُهُ سَقَطَ،

ܘܡܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܢ ܩܝܡܐ ܠܥܠܡܝܢ ܘܗܕܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܣܬܒܪܬܘܢ

τὸ δὲ ῥῆμα Κυρίου μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. τοῦτο δέ ἐστιν τὸ ῥῆμα τὸ εὐαγγελισθὲν εἰς ὑμᾶς.

25

But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

وَأَمَّا كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ فَتَثْبُتُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي بُشِّرْتُمْ بِهَا.
