1 Pierre 2
La Bible du Semeur
Croître en se nourrissant de la Parole
2 Rejetez donc toutes les formes de méchanceté et de ruse, l’hypocrisie, la jalousie, et toute médisance. 2 Comme des enfants nouveau-nés, désirez ardemment le lait pur de la Parole, afin qu’il vous fasse grandir en vue du salut, 3 puisque, vous avez goûté combien le Seigneur est bon[a].
Former un temple pour Dieu
4 Approchez-vous de lui, car il est la pierre vivante que les hommes ont rejetée mais que Dieu a choisie et à laquelle il attache une grande valeur. 5 Et vous aussi, comme des pierres vivantes, vous qui formez un temple[b] spirituel, édifiez-vous pour constituer une sainte communauté de prêtres, chargés de lui offrir des sacrifices spirituels qu’il pourra accepter favorablement par Jésus-Christ. 6 Voici, en effet, ce qu’on trouve dans l’Ecriture à ce sujet :
Moi, je place en Sion ╵une pierre angulaire
choisie, d’une grande valeur.
Celui qui met sa confiance en elle
ne connaîtra jamais le déshonneur[c] .
7 Pour vous donc qui croyez : l’honneur ! Mais pour ceux qui ne croient pas :
La pierre que les constructeurs ╵ont rejetée
est devenue la pierre principale,
la pierre d’angle[d] ,
8 une pierre qu’on heurte,
un rocher qui fait trébucher[e] .
Parce qu’ils refusent de croire à la Parole, il leur arrive ce qui était prévu pour eux[f] : ils tombent à cause de cette pierre.
9 Mais vous, vous êtes un peuple élu, une communauté de rois-prêtres, une nation sainte, un peuple que Dieu a pris pour sien, pour que vous célébriez bien haut les œuvres merveilleuses[g] de celui qui vous a appelés à passer des ténèbres à son admirable lumière. 10 Car vous qui autrefois n’étiez pas son peuple, vous êtes maintenant le peuple de Dieu. Vous qui n’aviez pas obtenu compassion, vous avez désormais obtenu compassion[h].
Vivre dans un monde hostile
Une bonne conduite au milieu des incroyants
11 Mes chers amis, vous êtes dans ce monde comme des résidents temporaires, des étrangers ; c’est pourquoi je vous le demande : ne cédez pas aux désirs de l’homme livré à lui-même : ils font la guerre en vous. 12 Ayez une bonne conduite au milieu des païens. Ainsi, dans les domaines mêmes où ils vous calomnient en vous accusant de faire le mal, ils verront vos bonnes actions et loueront Dieu le jour où il interviendra dans leur vie[i].
La soumission volontaire
13 Pour l’amour du Seigneur, soumettez-vous à vos semblables, qui sont des créatures de Dieu : au roi qui détient le pouvoir suprême, 14 comme à ses gouverneurs chargés de punir les malfaiteurs et d’approuver les gens honnêtes. – 15 Car voici ce que Dieu veut : c’est qu’en pratiquant le bien, vous réduisiez au silence toutes les calomnies portées contre vous par les insensés, dans leur ignorance. 16 Vous agirez ainsi en hommes libres, sans faire pour autant de votre liberté un voile pour couvrir une mauvaise conduite, car vous êtes des serviteurs de Dieu. – 17 Témoignez à tout homme le respect auquel il a droit, aimez vos frères et sœurs en la foi, « craignez Dieu, respectez le roi » !
Les esclaves et leurs maîtres
18 Serviteurs, soumettez-vous à votre maître avec toute la crainte qui lui est due, non seulement s’il est bon et bienveillant, mais aussi s’il est dur. 19 En effet, c’est un privilège que de supporter des souffrances imméritées, par motif de conscience envers Dieu. 20 Quelle gloire y a-t-il, en effet, à endurer un châtiment pour avoir commis une faute ? Mais si vous endurez la souffrance tout en ayant fait le bien, c’est là un privilège devant Dieu.
21 C’est à cela que Dieu vous a appelés, car Christ aussi a souffert pour vous, vous laissant un exemple, pour que vous suiviez ses traces. 22 Il n’a commis aucun péché, ses lèvres n’avaient produit la tromperie[j]. 23 Injurié, il ne ripostait pas par l’injure. Quand on le faisait souffrir, il ne formulait aucune menace, mais remettait sa cause entre les mains du juste Juge. 24 Il a pris nos péchés sur lui et les a portés dans son corps, sur la croix, afin qu’étant morts pour le péché, nous menions une vie juste. Oui, c’est par ses blessures que vous avez été guéris[k]. 25 Car vous étiez comme des brebis errantes mais, à présent, vous êtes retournés vers le berger qui veille sur vous.

1 Peter 2
New King James Version
Our Inheritance Through Christ’s Blood
2 Therefore, (A)laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, 2 (B)as newborn babes, desire the pure (C)milk of the word, that you may grow [a]thereby, 3 if indeed you have (D)tasted that the Lord is gracious.
The Chosen Stone and His Chosen People(E)
4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, (F)rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,
(G)“Behold, I lay in Zion
A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,
And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”
7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who [b]are disobedient,
(H)“The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone,”
8 and
(I)“A stone of stumbling
And a rock of offense.”
(J)They stumble, being disobedient to the word, (K)to which they also were appointed.
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of (L)darkness into His marvelous light; 10 (M)who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
Living Before the World
11 Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts (N)which war against the soul, 12 (O)having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, (P)they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Submission to Government(Q)
13 (R)Therefore submit yourselves to every [c]ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, 14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men— 16 (S)as free, yet not (T)using liberty as a cloak for [d]vice, but as bondservants of God. 17 Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear (U)God. Honor the king.
Submission to Masters(V)
18 (W)Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh. 19 For this is (X)commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. 20 For (Y)what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. 21 For (Z)to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for [e]us, (AA)leaving [f]us an example, that you should follow His steps:
22 “Who(AB) committed no sin,
Nor was deceit found in His mouth”;
23 (AC)who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but (AD)committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; 24 (AE)who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, (AF)that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—(AG)by whose [g]stripes you were healed. 25 For (AH)you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned (AI)to the Shepherd and [h]Overseer of your souls.

Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
Ejjinja Eddamu n’Eggwanga Ettukuvu
2 (A)Kale mukomye buli ngeri yonna ey’ettima, n’obulimba bwonna, n’obukuusa, n’obuggya, n’okwogera ekibi kwonna. 2 (B)Ng’abaana abaakazaalibwa bwe beegomba amata, nammwe mwegombenga amata ag’omwoyo, muganywenga mukule era mulokolebwe, 3 (C)kubanga mwalega ku bulungi bwa Mukama.
4 (D)Mujje gy’ali kubanga ye ly’ejjinja eddamu, abantu lye baasuula nga balowooza nti terigasa, kyokka eryalondebwa Katonda era ery’omugaso omunene ennyo. 5 (E)Mujje gy’ali nga muli ng’amayinja amalamu, muzimbibwemu ennyumba ey’omwoyo. Mulyoke mube bakabona be abaweereza ssaddaaka ey’omwoyo, esiimibwa Katonda mu Yesu Kristo Mukama waffe. 6 (F)Kubanga ekyawandiikibwa kigamba nti,
“Laba, nteeka mu Sayuuni,
ejjinja ery’oku nsonda ery’omuwendo omungi eddonde,
oyo eyeesiga Kristo,
taliswazibwa.”
7 (G)Ejjinja eryo lya muwendo mungi nnyo eri mmwe abakkiriza. Naye eri abatakkiriza,
“Lye jjinja abazimbi lye baagaana,
lye lifuuse ejjinja ekkulu ery’oku nsonda.”
8 (H)Era
“Lye jjinja abantu lye beekoonako,
lwe lwazi kwe beesittala ne bagwa.”
Beesittala kubanga bajeemera ekigambo kya Katonda, nga bwe ky’ateekebwateekebwa.
9 (I)Naye mwe muli kika kironde, bakabona bw’obwakabaka, eggwanga ettukuvu, abantu ba Katonda bennyini. Mwalondebwa mulyoke mutende ebirungi bya Katonda eyabaggya mu kizikiza n’abayingiza mu butangaavu bwe obutenkanika. 10 (J)Edda temwali ggwanga, naye kaakano muli ggwanga lya Katonda, era mwali temusaasirwa, naye kaakano Katonda abasaasidde.
Abaweereza ba Katonda
11 (K)Abaagalwa, mutegeerere ddala nti ku nsi kuno muli bayise. Kyenva mbeegayirira mwewale okwegomba kw’omubiri, kubanga kulwanagana n’omwoyo. 12 (L)Mukuumenga empisa zammwe ennungi, abo be mubeera nabo abatakkiriza, newaakubadde baboogerako nti ebikolwa byammwe bibi, basobole okulaba ebirungi bye mukola, balyoke bagulumize Katonda ku lunaku lw’alirabikirako.
13 (M)Ku lwa Mukama waffe, mugonderenga buli kiragiro ky’abo abali mu buyinza, oba kabaka alina obufuzi obw’oku ntikko, 14 (N)oba abafuzi abalala b’atuma okubonerezanga abakola ebikolwa ebibi, era n’okusiimanga abo abakola ebikolwa ebirungi. 15 (O)Kubanga Katonda asiima mukolenga ebirungi, mulyoke musirisenga abantu abasirusiru era abatalina kye bamanyi. 16 (P)Mubenga ba ddembe, kyokka nga temulyesigamya ku kukola bitasaana, wabula mulikozese ng’abaweereza ba Katonda. 17 (Q)Mussengamu abantu bonna ekitiibwa, mwagalenga nnyo abooluganda. Mutyenga Katonda. Mussengamu ekitiibwa abafuzi.
Tulabire ku Kristo
18 (R)Abaddu, mugonderenga bakama bammwe, nga mubassaamu ekitiibwa ekijjuvu, si abo bokka abalungi n’abakwatampola naye n’abo abakambwe. 19 (S)Kubanga kya mukisa omuntu bw’abonyaabonyezebwa awatali nsonga, n’agumiikiriza olw’okutuukiriza ekyo Katonda ky’ayagala. 20 (T)Kale kitiibwa ki kye mufuna bwe mugumiikiriza mu kubonaabona olw’okukola ekibi? Naye Katonda abasiima bwe mugumiikiriza nga mubonyaabonyezebwa olw’okukola obulungi. 21 (U)Ekyo kye mwayitirwa kubanga ne Kristo yabonyaabonyezebwa ku lwammwe, n’abalekera ekyokulabirako kye musaana okugoberera.
22 (V)“Kristo teyakola kibi
wadde okwogera ebyobukuusa.”
23 Bwe yavumibwa, ye teyavuma. Era abaamubonyaabonya teyabeewerera, wabula yeewaayo eri Katonda alamula awatali kusaliriza. 24 (W)Yesu Kristo yennyini yeetikka ebibi byaffe mu mubiri gwe bwe yatufiirira ku musaalaba, naffe tulyoke tufe eri ekibi, tube abalamu eri obutuukirivu. Olw’ebiwundu bye, muwonyezebbwa. 25 Kubanga mwali muwabye ng’endiga, naye kaakano mukomezebbwaawo eri Omusumba era alabirira obulamu bwammwe.
1 Peter 2
New International Version
2 Therefore, rid yourselves(A) of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander(B) of every kind. 2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk,(C) so that by it you may grow up(D) in your salvation, 3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.(E)
The Living Stone and a Chosen People
4 As you come to him, the living Stone(F)—rejected by humans but chosen by God(G) and precious to him— 5 you also, like living stones, are being built(H) into a spiritual house[a](I) to be a holy priesthood,(J) offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.(K) 6 For in Scripture it says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a chosen and precious cornerstone,(L)
and the one who trusts in him
will never be put to shame.”[b](M)
7 Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,(N)
8 and,
They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.(R)
9 But you are a chosen people,(S) a royal priesthood,(T) a holy nation,(U) God’s special possession,(V) that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.(W) 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God;(X) once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
Living Godly Lives in a Pagan Society
11 Dear friends,(Y) I urge you, as foreigners and exiles,(Z) to abstain from sinful desires,(AA) which wage war against your soul.(AB) 12 Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds(AC) and glorify God(AD) on the day he visits us.
13 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority:(AE) whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, 14 or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong(AF) and to commend those who do right.(AG) 15 For it is God’s will(AH) that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people.(AI) 16 Live as free people,(AJ) but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil;(AK) live as God’s slaves.(AL) 17 Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers,(AM) fear God, honor the emperor.(AN)
18 Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters,(AO) not only to those who are good and considerate,(AP) but also to those who are harsh. 19 For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God.(AQ) 20 But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.(AR) 21 To this(AS) you were called,(AT) because Christ suffered for you,(AU) leaving you an example,(AV) that you should follow in his steps.
23 When they hurled their insults at him,(AY) he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats.(AZ) Instead, he entrusted himself(BA) to him who judges justly.(BB) 24 “He himself bore our sins”(BC) in his body on the cross,(BD) so that we might die to sins(BE) and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”(BF) 25 For “you were like sheep going astray,”[f](BG) but now you have returned to the Shepherd(BH) and Overseer of your souls.(BI)
