1 Peter 2
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wherefore laying away all malice, and all guile, and dissimulations, and envies, and all detractions, | Deponentes igitur omnem malitiam, et omnem dolum, et simulationes, et invidias, et omnes detractiones, |
| 2 | As newborn babes, desire the rational milk without guile, that thereby you may grow unto salvation: | sicut modo geniti infantes, rationabile, sine dolo lac concupiscite: ut in eo crescatis in salutem: |
| 3 | If so be you have tasted that the Lord is sweet. | si tamen gustastis quoniam dulcis est Dominus. |
| 4 | Unto whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen and made honourable by God: | Ad quem accedentes lapidem vivum, ab hominibus quidem reprobatum, a Deo autem electum, et honorificatum: |
| 5 | Be you also as living stones built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. | et ipsi tamquam lapides vivi superaedificamini, domus spiritualis, sacerdotium sanctum, offerre spirituales hostias, acceptabiles Deo per Iesum Christum. |
| 6 | Wherefore it is said in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious. And he that shall believe in him, shall not be confounded. | Propter quod continet Scriptura: Ecce pono in Sion lapidem summum angularem, electum, pretiosum: et qui crediderit in eum, non confundetur. |
| 7 | To you therefore that believe, he is honour: but to them that believe not, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner: | Vobis igitur honor credentibus: non credentibus autem lapis, quem reprobaverunt aedificantes: hic factus est in caput anguli, |
| 8 | And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of scandal, to them who stumble at the word, neither do believe, whereunto also they are set. | et lapis offensionis, et petra scandali, his qui offendunt verbo, nec credunt in quo et positi sunt. |
| 9 | But you are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people: that you may declare his virtues, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: | Vos autem genus electum, regale sacerdotium, gens sancta, populus acquisitionis: ut virtutes annuntietis eius qui de tenebris vos vocavit in admirabile lumen suum. |
| 10 | Who in time past were not a people: but are now the people of God. Who had not obtained mercy; but now have obtained mercy. | Qui aliquando non populus, nunc autem populus Dei: qui non consecuti misericordiam, nunc autem misericordiam consecuti. |
| 11 | Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, to refrain yourselves from carnal desires which war against the soul, | Carissimi, obsecro vos tamquam advenas et peregrinos abstinere vos a carnalibus desideriis, quae militant adversus animam, |
| 12 | Having your conversation good among the Gentiles: that whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by the good works, which they shall behold in you, glorify God in the day of visitation. | conversationem vestram inter gentes habentes bonam: ut in eo quod detrectant de vobis tamquam de malefactoribus, ex bonis operibus vos considerantes, glorificent Deum in die visitationis. |
| 13 | Be ye subject therefore to every human creature for God’s sake: whether it be to the king as excelling; | Subiecti igitur estote omni humanae creaturae propter Deum: sive regi quasi praecellenti: |
| 14 | Or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of the good: | sive ducibus tamquam ab eo missis ad vindictam malefactorum, laudem vero bonorum: |
| 15 | For so is the will of God, that by doing well you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: | quia sic est voluntas Dei, ut benefacientes obmutescere faciatis imprudentium hominum ignorantiam: |
| 16 | As free, and not as making liberty a cloak for malice, but as the servants of God. | quasi liberi, et non quasi velamen habentes malitiae libertatem, sed sicut servi Dei. |
| 17 | Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. | Omnes honorate: fraternitatem diligite: Deum timete: regem honorificate. |
| 18 | Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. | Servi, subditi estote in omni timore dominis, non tantum bonis et modestis, sed etiam dyscolis. |
| 19 | For this is thankworthy, if for conscience towards God, a man endure sorrows, suffering wrongfully. | Haec est enim gratia, si propter Dei conscientiam sustinet quis tristitias, patiens iniuste. |
| 20 | For what glory is it, if committing sin, and being buffeted for it, you endure? But if doing well you suffer patiently; this is thankworthy before God. | Quae enim est gloria, si peccantes, et colaphizati suffertis? sed si bene facientes patienter sustinetis, haec est gratia apud Deum. |
| 21 | For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow his steps. | In hoc enim vocati estis: quia et Christus passus est pro nobis, vobis relinquens exemplum ut sequamini vestigia eius: |
| 22 | Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth. | qui peccatum non fecit, nec inventus est dolus in ore eius: |
| 23 | Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he threatened not: but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly. | qui cum malediceretur, non maledicebat: cum pateretur, non comminabatur: tradebat autem iudicanti se iniuste: |
| 24 | Who his own self bore our sins in his body upon the tree: that we, being dead to sins, should live to justice: by whose stripes you were healed. | qui peccata nostra ipse pertulit in corpore suo super lignum; ut peccatis mortui, iustitiae vivamus: cuius livore sanati estis. |
| 25 | For you were as sheep going astray; but you are now converted to the shepherd and bishop of your souls. | Eratis enim sicut oves errantes, sed conversi estis nunc ad pastorem, et episcopum animarum vestrarum. |
