彼得前書

第1章

1 耶穌基督的使徒彼得寫信給那分散在本都、加拉太、加帕多家、亞細亞、庇推尼寄居的,

2 就是照父─神的先見被揀選、藉著[Spirit]得成聖潔,以致順服耶穌基督,又蒙他血所灑的人。願恩典[Grace]、平安多多的加給你們。

3 願頌讚歸與我們主耶穌基督的父神。他曾照自己的大憐憫,藉耶穌基督從死裏復活,重生了我們,叫我們有活潑的盼望,

4 可以得著不能朽壞、不能玷污、不能衰殘、為你們存留在天上的基業。

5 你們這因信蒙神能力保守的人,必能得著所預備,到末[time]要顯現的救恩。

6 因此,你們是大有喜樂;但如今,因百般的試探[through manifold temptations]暫時憂愁,

7 叫你們的信心既被試驗,就比那被火試驗仍然能壞的金子更顯寶貴,可以在耶穌基督顯現的時候得著稱讚、榮耀、尊貴。

8 你們雖然沒有見過他,卻是愛他;如今雖不得看見,卻因信他就有說不出來、滿有榮光的大喜樂;

9 並且得著你們信心的果效,就是你們元魂[your souls]的救恩。

10 論到這救恩,那預先說你們要得恩典的眾先知早已詳細的尋求考察,

11 就是考察在他們心裏基督的[Spirit],預先證明基督受苦難,後來得榮耀,是指著甚麼時候,並怎樣的時候。

12 他們得了啟示,知道他們所服事[minister]的一切事,不是為自己,乃是為我們[us]。那靠著從天上差來的聖靈傳福音給你們的人,現在將這些事報給你們;天使也願意詳細察看這些事。

13 所以要束上你們思想的腰[gird up the loins of your mind],謹慎自守,盼望[hope]耶穌基督顯現的時候所帶來給你們的恩,一直到底[to the end]

14 你們既作順命的兒女,就不要效法從前蒙昧無知的時候那放縱私慾的樣子。

15 那召你們的既是聖潔,你們在一切行為[conversation]上也要聖潔。

16 因為經上記著說:「你們要聖潔,因為我是聖潔的。」

17 你們既稱那不偏待人,按各人行為審判人的主為父,就當存敬畏的心度你們在世寄居的日子,

18 知道你們得贖,脫去你們祖宗遵照遺傳[by tradition]所傳流虛妄的行為,不是憑著能壞的金銀等物,

19 乃是憑著基督的寶血,如同無瑕疵、無玷污的綿羊羔[lamb]之血。

20 [Who]在創世以前固然[verily]是預先被神所定[foreordained]的,卻在這末[times]才為你們顯現,

21 你們也因著他,信那叫他從死裏復活、又給他榮耀的神,叫你們的信心和盼望都在於神。

22 你們既因藉著[Spirit]順從真理,潔淨了自己的心,以致愛弟兄沒有虛假,就當以純淨的心[with a pure heart]彼此切實相愛。

23 你們蒙了重生,不是由於能壞的種子,乃是由於不能壞的種子,是藉著神活潑[for ever]存的道。

24 因為凡有血氣的,盡都如草;他的美榮都像草上的花。草必枯乾,花必凋謝;

25 唯有主的道是永存的。所傳給你們的福音就是這道。

9 Receiving2865 the3588 end5056 of your5216 faith,4102 even the salvation4991 of your souls.5590

10 Of4012 which3739 salvation4991 the prophets4396 have inquired1567 and2532 searched diligently,1830 who prophesied4395 of4012 the3588 grace5485 that should come unto1519 you: 5209

11 Searching2045 what,5101 or2228 what manner4169 of time2540 the3588 Spirit4151 of Christ5547 which was in1722 them846 did signify,1213 when it testified beforehand4303 the3588 sufferings3804 of1519 Christ,5547 and2532 the3588 glory1391 that should follow.3326 5023

12 Unto whom3739 it was revealed,601 that3754 not3756 unto themselves,1438 but1161 unto us2254 they did minister1247 the things,846 which3739 are now3568 reported312 unto you5213 by1223 them that have preached the gospel2097 unto you5209 with1722 the Holy40 Ghost4151 sent down649 from575 heaven;3772 which things3739 the angels32 desire1937 to look3879 into.1519

13 Wherefore1352 gird up328 the3588 loins3751 of your5216 mind,1271 be sober,3525 and hope1679 to the end5049 for1909 the3588 grace5485 that is to be brought5342 unto you5213 at1722 the revelation602 of Jesus2424 Christ;5547

14 As5613 obedient5218 children,5043 not3361 fashioning yourselves4964 according to the3588 former4386 lusts1939 in1722 your5216 ignorance: 52

1 耶穌基督的使徒彼得寫信給那分散在本都、加拉太、加帕多家、亞細亞、庇推尼寄居的,

1 Peter,4074 an apostle652 of Jesus2424 Christ,5547 to the strangers3927 scattered throughout1290 Pontus,4195 Galatia,1053 Cappadocia,2587 Asia,773 and2532 Bithynia,978

2 就是照父─神的先見被揀選、藉著[Spirit]得成聖潔,以致順服耶穌基督,又蒙他血所灑的人。願恩典[Grace]、平安多多的加給你們。

2 Elect1588 according2596 to the foreknowledge4268 of God2316 the Father,3962 through1722 sanctification38 of the Spirit,4151 unto1519 obedience5218 and2532 sprinkling4473 of the blood129 of Jesus2424 Christ:5547 Grace5485 unto you,5213 and2532 peace,1515 be multiplied.4129

3 願頌讚歸與我們主耶穌基督的父神。他曾照自己的大憐憫,藉耶穌基督從死裏復活,重生了我們,叫我們有活潑的盼望,

3 Blessed2128 be the3588 God2316 and2532 Father3962 of our2257 Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 which according2596 to his848 abundant4183 mercy1656 hath begotten us again313 2248 unto1519 a lively2198 hope1680 by1223 the resurrection386 of Jesus2424 Christ5547 from1537 the dead,3498

4 可以得著不能朽壞、不能玷污、不能衰殘、為你們存留在天上的基業。

4 To1519 an inheritance2817 incorruptible,862 and2532 undefiled,283 and2532 that fadeth not away,263 reserved5083 in1722 heaven3772 for1519 you,2248

5 你們這因信蒙神能力保守的人,必能得著所預備,到末[time]要顯現的救恩。

5 Who are kept5432 by1722 the power1411 of God2316 through1223 faith4102 unto1519 salvation4991 ready2092 to be revealed601 in1722 the last2078 time.2540

6 因此,你們是大有喜樂;但如今,因百般的試探[through manifold temptations]暫時憂愁,

6 Wherein1722 3739 ye greatly rejoice,21 though now737 for a season,3641 if1487 need be,1163 2076 ye are in heaviness3076 through1722 manifold4164 temptations: 3986

7 叫你們的信心既被試驗,就比那被火試驗仍然能壞的金子更顯寶貴,可以在耶穌基督顯現的時候得著稱讚、榮耀、尊貴。

7 That2443 the3588 trial1383 of your5216 faith,4102 being much4183 more precious5093 than of gold5553 that perisheth,622 though1161 it be tried1381 with1223 fire,4442 might be found2147 unto1519 praise1868 and2532 honor5092 and2532 glory1391 at1722 the appearing602 of Jesus2424 Christ: 5547

8 你們雖然沒有見過他,卻是愛他;如今雖不得看見,卻因信他就有說不出來、滿有榮光的大喜樂;

8 Whom3739 having not3756 seen,1492 ye love;25 in1519 whom,3739 though now737 ye see3708 him not,3361 yet1161 believing,4100 ye rejoice21 with joy5479 unspeakable412 and2532 full of glory: 1392

9 並且得著你們信心的果效,就是你們元魂[your souls]的救恩。

9 Receiving2865 the3588 end5056 of your5216 faith,4102 even the salvation4991 of your souls.5590

10 論到這救恩,那預先說你們要得恩典的眾先知早已詳細的尋求考察,

10 Of4012 which3739 salvation4991 the prophets4396 have inquired1567 and2532 searched diligently,1830 who prophesied4395 of4012 the3588 grace5485 that should come unto1519 you: 5209

11 就是考察在他們心裏基督的[Spirit],預先證明基督受苦難,後來得榮耀,是指著甚麼時候,並怎樣的時候。

11 Searching2045 what,5101 or2228 what manner4169 of time2540 the3588 Spirit4151 of Christ5547 which was in1722 them846 did signify,1213 when it testified beforehand4303 the3588 sufferings3804 of1519 Christ,5547 and2532 the3588 glory1391 that should follow.3326 5023

12 他們得了啟示,知道他們所服事[minister]的一切事,不是為自己,乃是為我們[us]。那靠著從天上差來的聖靈傳福音給你們的人,現在將這些事報給你們;天使也願意詳細察看這些事。

12 Unto whom3739 it was revealed,601 that3754 not3756 unto themselves,1438 but1161 unto us2254 they did minister1247 the things,846 which3739 are now3568 reported312 unto you5213 by1223 them that have preached the gospel2097 unto you5209 with1722 the Holy40 Ghost4151 sent down649 from575 heaven;3772 which things3739 the angels32 desire1937 to look3879 into.1519

13 所以要束上你們思想的腰[gird up the loins of your mind],謹慎自守,盼望[hope]耶穌基督顯現的時候所帶來給你們的恩,一直到底[to the end]

13 Wherefore1352 gird up328 the3588 loins3751 of your5216 mind,1271 be sober,3525 and hope1679 to the end5049 for1909 the3588 grace5485 that is to be brought5342 unto you5213 at1722 the revelation602 of Jesus2424 Christ;5547

14 你們既作順命的兒女,就不要效法從前蒙昧無知的時候那放縱私慾的樣子。

14 As5613 obedient5218 children,5043 not3361 fashioning yourselves4964 according to the3588 former4386 lusts1939 in1722 your5216 ignorance: 52

15 那召你們的既是聖潔,你們在一切行為[conversation]上也要聖潔。

15 But235 as2596 he which hath called2564 you5209 is holy,40 so2532 be1096 ye846 holy40 in1722 all manner3956 of conversation;391

16 因為經上記著說:「你們要聖潔,因為我是聖潔的。」

16 Because1360 it is written,1125 Be1096 ye holy;40 for3754 I1473 am1510 holy.40

17 你們既稱那不偏待人,按各人行為審判人的主為父,就當存敬畏的心度你們在世寄居的日子,

17 And2532 if1487 ye call on1941 the Father,3962 who without respect of persons judgeth2919 678 according2596 to every man's1538 work,2041 pass390 the3588 time5550 of your5216 sojourning3940 here in1722 fear: 5401

18 知道你們得贖,脫去你們祖宗遵照遺傳[by tradition]所傳流虛妄的行為,不是憑著能壞的金銀等物,

18 Forasmuch as ye know1492 that3754 ye were not3756 redeemed3084 with corruptible things,5349 as silver694 and2228 gold,5553 from1537 your5216 vain3152 conversation391 received by tradition from your fathers;3970

19 乃是憑著基督的寶血,如同無瑕疵、無玷污的綿羊羔[lamb]之血。

19 But235 with the precious5093 blood129 of Christ,5547 as5613 of a lamb286 without blemish299 and2532 without spot: 784

20 [Who]在創世以前固然[verily]是預先被神所定[foreordained]的,卻在這末[times]才為你們顯現,

20 Who verily3303 was foreordained4267 before4253 the foundation2602 of the world,2889 but1161 was manifest5319 in1909 these last2078 times5550 for1223 you,5209

21 你們也因著他,信那叫他從死裏復活、又給他榮耀的神,叫你們的信心和盼望都在於神。

21 Who by1223 him846 do believe4100 in1519 God,2316 that raised him up1453 846 from1537 the dead,3498 and2532 gave1325 him846 glory;1391 that5620 your5216 faith4102 and2532 hope1680 might be1511 in1519 God.2316

22 你們既因藉著[Spirit]順從真理,潔淨了自己的心,以致愛弟兄沒有虛假,就當以純淨的心[with a pure heart]彼此切實相愛。

22 Seeing ye have purified48 your5216 souls5590 in1722 obeying5218 the3588 truth225 through1223 the Spirit4151 unto1519 unfeigned505 love of the brethren,5360 see that ye love25 one another240 with1537 a pure2513 heart2588 fervently: 1619

23 你們蒙了重生,不是由於能壞的種子,乃是由於不能壞的種子,是藉著神活潑[for ever]存的道。

23 Being born again,313 not3756 of1537 corruptible5349 seed,4701 but235 of incorruptible,862 by1223 the word3056 of God,2316 which liveth2198 and2532 abideth3306 forever.1519 165

24 因為凡有血氣的,盡都如草;他的美榮都像草上的花。草必枯乾,花必凋謝;

24 For1360 all3956 flesh4561 is as5613 grass,5528 and2532 all3956 the glory1391 of man444 as5613 the flower438 of grass.5528 The3588 grass5528 withereth,3583 and2532 the3588 flower438 thereof846 falleth away: 1601

25 唯有主的道是永存的。所傳給你們的福音就是這道。

25 But1161 the3588 word4487 of the Lord2962 endureth3306 forever.1519165 And1161 this5124 is2076 the3588 word4487 which by the gospel is preached2097 unto1519 you.5209
