(Заⷱ҇ н҃и҃.) Пе́тръ, а҆пⷭ҇лъ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́въ, и҆збра̑ннымъ прише́лцємъ разсѣ́ѧнїѧ по́нта, галаті́и, каппадокі́и, а҆сі́и и҆ вїѳѷні́и,

¹

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect who are sojourners of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

²

по прозрѣ́нїю бг҃а ѻ҆ц҃а̀, во ст҃ы́ни дх҃а, въ послꙋша́нїе и҆ кропле́нїе кро́ве і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́вы: блгⷣть ва́мъ и҆ ми́ръ да оу҆мно́житсѧ.

²

according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

³

(Заⷱ҇.) Блгⷭ҇ве́нъ бг҃ъ и҆ ѻ҆ц҃ъ гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, и҆́же по мно́зей свое́й млⷭ҇ти порожде́й на́съ во оу҆пова́нїе жи́во воскрⷭ҇нїемъ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́вымъ ѿ ме́ртвыхъ,

³

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

⁴

въ наслѣ́дїе нетлѣ́нно и҆ нескве́рно и҆ неꙋвѧда́емо, соблюде́но на нб҃сѣ́хъ ва́съ ра́ди,

⁴

unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

⁵

и҆̀же си́лою бж҃їею соблюда́еми є҆стѐ чрез̾ вѣ́рꙋ, во спⷭ҇нїе гото́вое ꙗ҆ви́тисѧ во вре́мѧ послѣ́днее.

⁵

who by the power of God are guarded through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

⁶

Ѡ҆ не́мже ра́дꙋйтесѧ, ма́лѡ нн҃ѣ, а҆́ще лѣ́по є҆́сть, приско́рбни бы́вше въ разли́чныхъ напа́стѣхъ:

⁶

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, ye have been put to grief in manifold trials,

⁷

да и҆скꙋше́нїе ва́шеѧ вѣ́ры многочестнѣ́йше зла́та ги́бнꙋща, ѻ҆гне́мъ же и҆скꙋше́на, ѡ҆брѧ́щетсѧ въ похвалꙋ̀ и҆ че́сть и҆ сла́вꙋ, во ѿкрове́нїи і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́вѣ,

⁷

that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and honor and unto glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ:

⁸

є҆го́же не ви́дѣвше лю́бите, (и҆) на него́же нн҃ѣ не зрѧ́ще, вѣ́рꙋюще же, ра́дꙋетесѧ ра́достїю неизглаго́ланною и҆ просла́вленною,

⁸

whom not having known ye love; on whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

⁹

прїе́млюще кончи́нꙋ вѣ́рѣ ва́шей, спⷭ҇нїе дꙋша́мъ:

⁹

receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

¹⁰

ѡ҆ не́мже спⷭ҇нїи взыска́ша и҆ и҆спыта́ша прⷪ҇ро́цы, и҆̀же ѡ҆ ва́шей блгⷣти прореко́ша,

¹⁰

Concerning which salvation the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:

¹¹

и҆спыта́юще, въ каково̀ и҆лѝ въ ко́е вре́мѧ ꙗ҆влѧ́ше въ ни́хъ дх҃ъ хрⷭ҇то́въ, пре́жде свидѣ́телствꙋѧ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇то́выхъ стрⷭ҇те́хъ, и҆ ѡ҆ сла́вахъ, ꙗ҆̀же по си́хъ:

¹¹

searching what time or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point unto, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them.

¹²

и҆̀мже ѿкры́сѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не и҆̀мъ самѣ̑мъ, но на́мъ слꙋжа́хꙋ сїѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же нн҃ѣ возвѣсти́шасѧ ва́мъ благовѣствова́вшими ва́мъ дх҃омъ ст҃ы́мъ по́сланнымъ съ нб҃сѐ, въ нѧ́же жела́ютъ а҆́гг҃ли прини́кнꙋти.

¹²

To whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced unto you through them that preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.

¹³

(Заⷱ҇.) Тѣ́мже, (возлю́бленнїи,) препоѧ́савше чре́сла помышле́нїѧ ва́шегѡ, трезвѧ́щесѧ, соверше́ннѣ оу҆пова́йте на приноси́мꙋю ва́мъ блгⷣть ѿкрове́нїемъ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́вымъ.

¹³

Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

¹⁴

Ꙗ҆́кѡ ча̑да послꙋша́нїѧ, не преѡбразꙋ́ющесѧ пе́рвыми невѣ́дѣнїѧ ва́шего похотѣ̑нїи,

¹⁴

as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in the time of your ignorance:

¹⁵

но по зва́вшемꙋ вы̀ ст҃о́мꙋ, и҆ са́ми ст҃и во все́мъ житїѝ бꙋ́дите.

¹⁵

but like as he who called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living;

¹⁶

Занѐ пи́сано є҆́сть: ст҃и бꙋ́дите, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ ст҃ъ є҆́смь.

¹⁶

because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

¹⁷

И҆ а҆́ще ѻ҆ц҃а̀ называ́ете нелицемѣ́рнѡ сꙋдѧ́ща комꙋ́ждо по дѣ́лꙋ, со стра́хомъ житїѧ̀ ва́шегѡ вре́мѧ жи́телствꙋйте,

¹⁷

And if ye call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to each man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear:

¹⁸

вѣ́дѧще, ꙗ҆́кѡ не и҆стлѣ́ннымъ сребро́мъ и҆лѝ зла́томъ и҆зба́вистесѧ ѿ сꙋ́етнагѡ ва́шегѡ житїѧ̀ ѻ҆тцы̑ пре́даннагѡ,

¹⁸

knowing that ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers;

¹⁹

но чтⷭ҇но́ю кро́вїю ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́гнца непоро́чна и҆ пречⷭ҇та хрⷭ҇та̀,

¹⁹

but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, even the blood of Christ:

²⁰

пред̾ꙋвѣ́дѣна оу҆́бѡ пре́жде сложе́нїѧ мі́ра, ꙗ҆́вльшасѧ же въ послѣ̑днѧѧ лѣ̑та ва́съ ра́ди,

²⁰

who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the last times for your sake,

²¹

и҆̀же є҆гѡ̀ ра́ди вѣ́рꙋете въ бг҃а воздви́гшаго є҆го̀ и҆з̾ ме́ртвыхъ и҆ сла́вꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ да́вша, ꙗ҆́кѡ да вѣ́ра ва́ша и҆ оу҆пова́нїе бꙋ́детъ на бг҃а.

²¹

who through him do believe in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.

²²

Дꙋ́шы ва́шѧ ѡ҆чи́стивше въ послꙋша́нїи и҆́стины дх҃омъ, въ братолю́бїе нелицемѣ́рно, ѿ чи́ста се́рдца дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́га люби́те прилѣ́жнѡ,

²²

Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from a clean heart fervently:

²³

порожде́ни не ѿ сѣ́мене и҆стлѣ́нна, но неистлѣ́нна, сло́вомъ жива́гѡ бг҃а и҆ пребыва́юща во вѣ́ки.

²³

having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.

²⁴

Занѐ всѧ́ка пло́ть ꙗ҆́кѡ трава̀, и҆ всѧ́ка сла́ва человѣ́ча ꙗ҆́кѡ цвѣ́тъ тра́вный: и҆́зсше трава̀, и҆ цвѣ́тъ є҆ѧ̀ ѿпадѐ:

²⁴

For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth:

²⁵

гл҃го́лъ же гдⷭ҇нь пребыва́етъ во вѣ́ки. Се́ же є҆́сть гл҃го́лъ благовѣствова́нный въ ва́съ.

²⁵

But the word of the Lord abideth forever. And this is the word of good tidings which was preached unto you.
