1Petrus Apostolus Jesu Christi, electis advenis dispersionis Ponti, Galatiæ, Cappadociæ, Asiæ, et Bithyniæ,
1Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen ones who are living as foreigners in the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2secundum præscientiam Dei Patris, in sanctificationem Spiritus, in obedientiam, et aspersionem sanguinis Jesu Christi. Gratia vobis, et pax multiplicetur.
2according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
3Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Jesu Christi, qui secundum misericordiam suam magnam regeneravit nos in spem vivam, per resurrectionem Jesu Christi ex mortuis,
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4in hæreditatem incorruptibilem, et incontaminatam, et immarcescibilem, conservatam in cælis in vobis,
4to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn’t fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
5qui in virtute Dei custodimini per fidem in salutem, paratam revelari in tempore novissimo.
5who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6In quo exsultabis, modicum nunc si oportet contristari in variis tentationibus:
6In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials,
7ut probatio vestræ fidei multo pretiosior auro (quod per ignem probatur) inveniatur in laudem, et gloriam, et honorem in revelatione Jesu Christi:
7that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ—
8quem cum non videritis, diligitis: in quem nunc quoque non videntes creditis: credentes autem exsultabitis lætitia inenarrabili, et glorificata:
8whom, not having known, you love. In him, though now you don’t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory,
9reportantes finem fidei vestræ, salutem animarum.
9receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10De qua salute exquisierunt, atque scrutati sunt prophetæ, qui de futura in vobis gratia prophetaverunt:
10Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently. They prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
11scrutantes in quod vel quale tempus significaret in eis Spiritus Christi: prænuntians eas quæ in Christo sunt passiones, et posteriores glorias:
11searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them pointed to when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow them.
12quibus revelatum est quia non sibimetipsis, vobis autem ministrabant ea quæ nunc nuntiata sunt vobis per eos qui evangelizaverunt vobis, Spiritu Sancto misso de cælo, in quem desiderant angeli prospicere.
12To them it was revealed that they served not themselves, but you, in these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
13Propter quod succincti lumbos mentis vestræ, sobrii, perfecte sperate in eam, quæ offertur vobis, gratiam, in revelationem Jesu Christi:
13Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober, and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ—
14quasi filii obedientiæ, non configurati prioribus ignorantiæ vestræ desideriis:
14as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,
15sed secundum eum qui vocavit vos, Sanctum: et ipsi in omni conversatione sancti sitis:
15but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior,
16quoniam scriptum est: Sancti eritis, quoniam ego sanctus sum.
16because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
17Et si patrem invocatis eum, qui sine acceptione personarum judicat secundum uniuscujusque opus, in timore incolatus vestri tempore conversamini.
17If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man’s work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear,
18Scientes quod non corruptibilibus, auro vel argento, redempti estis de vana vestra conversatione paternæ traditionis:
18knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things like silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,
19sed pretioso sanguine quasi agni immaculati Christi, et incontaminati:
19but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Christ,
20præcogniti quidem ante mundi constitutionem, manifestati autem novissimis temporibus propter vos,
20who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in this last age for your sake,
21qui per ipsum fideles estis in Deo, qui suscitavit eum a mortuis, et dedit ei gloriam, ut fides vestra et spes esset in Deo:
21who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.
22animas vestras castificantes in obedientia caritatis, in fraternitatis amore, simplici ex corde invicem diligite attentius:
22Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,
23renati non ex semine corruptibili, sed incorruptibili per verbum Dei vivi, et permanentis in æternum:
23having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.
24quia omnis caro ut fœnum: et omnis gloria ejus tamquam flos fœni: exaruit fœnum, et flos ejus decidit.
24For, “All flesh is like grass, and all of man’s glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
25Verbum autem Domini manet in æternum: hoc est autem verbum, quod evangelizatum est in vos.
25but the Lord’s word endures forever.” This is the word of Good News which was preached to you.
