⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

2:1

አሰስልዋ እንከ እምኔክሙ ለኵላ እከይ ወለኵላ ሕብል ወለናፍቆ ወለተሓምዮ ወለተቃንኦ።

Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,

所以，你們既除去一切的惡毒、詭詐，並假善、嫉妒，和一切毀謗的話，

2:2

ወኩኑ ከመ እለ ይእዜ ተወልዱ ሕፃናት ወአፍቅሩ ሐሊበ ነባቤ ዘአልቦቱ ቱስሕት ከመ ቦቱ ትልሀቁ ለድኂን።

as newborn babies, long for the pure spiritual milk, that with it you may grow,

就要愛慕那純淨的靈奶，像才生的嬰孩愛慕奶一樣，叫你們因此漸長，以致得救。

2:3

ወናሁ ጥዕምክሙ ከመ ኄር እግዚአብሔር ወኀቤሁ ምግባኢክሙ።

if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

你們若嘗過主恩的滋味，就必如此。

2:4

ወይእቲ እብን እንተ በኀበ ሰብእ ምንንት ወበኀበ እግዚአብሔርሰ ኅሪት ወክብርት።

Come to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.

主乃活石，固然是被人所棄的，卻是被上帝所揀選、所寶貴的。

2:5

ወአንትሙኒ ጽንዑ ከመ እብን መንፈሳዊ ወኩኑ ታቦተ መንፈሳዌ ለክህነት ቅድስት ወንጽሕት ከመ ታቅርቡ ወታዕርጉ መሥዋዕተ መንፈሳዌ ዘይሰጠወክሙ እግዚአብሔር በእደዊሁ ለኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ።

You also as living stones are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

你們來到主面前，也就像活石，被建造成為靈宮，作聖潔的祭司，藉着耶穌基督奉獻上帝所悅納的靈祭。

2:6

እስመ ከመዝ ጽሑፍ «ናሁ እሠይም ውስተ ጽዮን እብነ ማዕዘንት ኅሪተ ወክብርተ ወዘአምነ ባቲ ኢይትኀፈር።»

Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious. He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”

因為經上說：看哪，我把所揀選、所寶貴的房角石安放在錫安；信靠他的人必不至於羞愧。

2:7

ለክሙ ውእቱ ክብር ለእለ ተአምኑ ወለእለሰ ይክሕዱ «እብን እንተ መነንዋ ነደቅት ይእቲ ኮነት ውስተ ርእሰ ማዕዘንት።»

For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,”

所以，他在你們信的人就為寶貴，在那不信的人有話說：匠人所棄的石頭已作了房角的頭塊石頭。

2:8

ውእቱኬ እብነ ዕቅፍት ወእብነ ካሕድ ለእለ ይትዐቀፉ በቃሉ ወይክሕድዎ ለዘቦቱ ተፈጥሩ።

and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

又說：作了絆腳的石頭，跌人的磐石。他們既不順從，就在道理上絆跌；他們這樣絆跌也是預定的。

2:9

ወአንትሙሰ ፍጥረት ኅሩያን ወታቦት ለንጉሥ ወሕዝብ ንጹሕ ወሕዝብ ዘይትሜካሕ ከመ ትንግሩ ሠናይቶ ለዘጸውዐክሙ እምጽልመት ውስተ ብርሃነ ስብሐቲሁ።

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

惟有你們是被揀選的族類，是有君尊的祭司，是聖潔的國度，是屬上帝的子民，要叫你們宣揚那召你們出黑暗入奇妙光明者的美德。
