ପିତରଙ୍କ ପ୍ରଥମ ପତ୍ 1:13-24

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;

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

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

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

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:

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;

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

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

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.

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:

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

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:

13 ଆତ୍ମସଂୟମୀ ହୁଅ ଓ ନିଜ ମନକୁ ସବୋକାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କର। ଯୀଶୁଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ ଆସିବା ବେଳେ, ଯେଉଁ ଅନୁଗ୍ରହ ତୁମ୍ଭ୍ ପ୍ରତି ବର୍ତ୍ତିବ, ସେଥି ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଭରସା ରହିବା ଉଚିତ।
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;

14 ଅତୀତ ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଏହି କଥା ବୁଝି ନ ପାରି, ନିଜ ଇଚ୍ଛା ରେ ସହେି ସବୁ ମନ୍ଦ କାମ କରିଥିଲ କିନ୍ତୁ ଏବେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଆଜ୍ଞାକାରୀ ସନ୍ତାନ ଅଟ। ଅତଏବ ଅତୀତର ମନ୍ଦ ଜୀବନଯାପନ କର ନାହିଁ।
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

15 ନିଜେ କରୁଥିବା ସମସ୍ତ କାମ ରେ, ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଯେପରି ପବିତ୍ର, ସହେିପରି ପବିତ୍ର ହୁଅ। ପରମେଶ୍ବର ହିଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଆହ୍ବାନ କରିଥିଲେ।
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

16 ଶାସ୍ତ୍ର ରେ ଲଖାେଅଛି : ପବିତ୍ର ହୁଅ, କାରଣ ମୁଁ ହେଉଛି ପବିତ୍ର।338
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

17 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରୁଛ ଓ ପିତା ବୋଲି ଡ଼ାକୁଛ। ପରମେଶ୍ବର ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ତାହାର କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ଅନୁସାରେ ସମାନ ଭାବରେ ବିଚାର କରନ୍ତି। ତେଣୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯେ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ପୃଥିବୀ ରେ ବଞ୍ଚି ରହିଛ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ଭୟ ରଖି ବଞ୍ଚିବା ଉଚିତ୍।
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:

18 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣିଛ ଯେ ଅତୀତ ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନିରର୍ଥକ ଜୀବନଯାପନ କରୁଥିଲ। ତୁମ୍ଭ ପୂର୍ବ ବଂଶଧରମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସହେିପରି ଜୀବନ କାଟିବାକୁ ଶିଖିଥିଲ। କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ସପରେି ଜୀବନ କାଟିବାରୁ ରକ୍ଷା ପାଇଛ। ସୁନା ଓ ରୂପା ଭଳି କ୍ଷଣସ୍ଥାଯୀ ଜିନିଷ ବଦଳ ରେ ନୁହେଁ,
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;

19 ବରଂ ନିର୍ଦ୍ ଦୋଷ ପବିତ୍ର ମଷେଶାବକ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କର ବହୁମୂଲ୍ଯ ରକ୍ତ ଦ୍ବାରା ତୁମ୍ଭେ କିଣା ହାଇେଅଛ।
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

20 ଜଗତ ଆରମ୍ଭ ହବୋ ପୂର୍ବରୁ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ ମନୋନୀତ ହାଇେଥିଲେ। କିନ୍ତୁ ଏହି ଶଷେ ସମୟରେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ନିମନ୍ତେ ସେ ଜଗତ ରେ ପ୍ରକାଶିତ ହେଲେ।
Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

21 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ମାଧ୍ଯମ ରେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କର। ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କୁ ମୃତ୍ଯୁରୁ ପୁନର୍ଜୀବିତ କଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ସେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ମହିମା ପ୍ରଦାନ କଲେ। ତେଣୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ବିଶ୍ବାସ ଓ ଭରସା ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଠା ରେ ଅଛି।
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.

22 ଏବେ, ସତ୍ଯ ପାଳନ ଦ୍ବାରା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ନିଜ ନିଜକୁ ପବିତ୍ର କରିଛ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଭାଇ ଓ ଭଉଣୀମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ସତ୍ଯ ପ୍ ରମେ ଦଖାଇେ ପାରିବ। ଅତଏବ, ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ହୃଦୟ ସହିତ ଗଭୀର ଭାବରେ ପରସ୍ପରକୁ ପ୍ ରମେ କର।
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:

23 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପୁନର୍ଜନ୍ମ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରିଛ। ଏହି ନୂତନ ଜୀବନ ମରଣଶୀଳ ବିଷୟରୁ ଆସି ନାହିଁ କିନ୍ତୁ ଯାହା କିଛି କବେେ ମ ରେ ନାହିଁ, ସଠାରୁେ ଆସିଛି। ଯାହା ସବୁଦିନ ପାଇଁ ରୁ ହେ, ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ସହେି ଜୀବନ୍ତ ସୁସମାଚାର ଯୋଗୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆଉ ଥରେ ଜନ୍ମ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରିଛ।
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

24 ଶାସ୍ତ୍ର କୁ ହେ :
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:
