而爾等則為蒙選之族、赫赫司祭、雍雍神國實天主之眷屬也。天主既召爾等出於黑暗入於靈光、爾等可不表彰大德乎。

惟爾乃蒙選之族、王室之祭司、維聖之國、特設之民、俾彰召爾出幽暗入奇光者之德、

爾乃成聖之國、得救之民、推選之族、為王而祭司者、既蒙主召爾出幽暗、入靈光、爾當表彰其德、

惟爾曹乃蒙選之族、有王位之祭司、成聖之國、屬主之民、主召爾出幽暗、入其妙光、欲爾宣揚其德、

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

But God chose you to be his people. You are royal priests. You are a holy nation. You are God’s special treasure. You are all these things so that you can give him praise. God brought you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

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

But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

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 darkness into His marvelous light;

But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

基督垂愛吾人、以其寶血滌除吾人之罪；復使吾人自成神國、俾得充其天主聖父之司鐸；伏願光榮威權、永世歸之、萬代靡暨、心焉祝之。

為王為鐸兮、統御寰域。

夫天主之救拔吾人、而授吾人以聖召者、初不憑吾人之功績、乃憑其自己之聖意、與夫在基督耶穌身上、夙所賜於吾人之聖寵也。蓋此聖寵之授予、實在萬世以前；

蓋爾等本屬昏昏、今則因主而為昭昭矣。故行事當光明正大、庶不愧為光明之子。夫光明之果、曰善、曰公、曰誠；亦在隨時體察何以求悅主心而已。凡黑暗之事、無所裨益、爾等非惟不可染指、且應嚴辭責之。

爾等亦當勉成具有生命之小石、俾充建造聖殿之材料、而作神聖之司鐸；仰賴耶穌基督、奉獻精神上之祭祀以望天主之悅納、

得親嘗首次復活者、福矣、聖矣！若而人者、不復受二次死亡之管轄、且得為天主及基督之司鐸、而與之同王於千秋。

基督為吾人自舍其身、正欲拯贖吾人、脫免一切罪惡、加以洗滌、俾得充其子民、發憤為善云耳。

欲汝啟眾民萬邦之目、使自黑暗轉向光明、脫沙殫之掌握而歸依天主、俾以信予之故、而獲罪赦、與一切因信成聖者同嗣洪基。」

爾之光輝、亦當燭照世人、庶幾世人皆見爾善行、而歸榮於爾在天之父。

厥民處暗中、竟得睹大明；向居死蔭下、倏見曙光臨。』

俾我親沾。天民之福。俾我同享。帝族之樂。爾國發榮。吾心乃足。

奉主之國必發達。承恩之民安且逸。

惟我兄弟。既不處黑暗之中、屆時當不致襲爾如不速之客。蓋爾皆為光明之子、旦晝之人、非屬於暮夜與黑暗也。故吾人不欲效世人之醉生夢死、常宜昭昭惺惺、淡泊有節。蓋沉睡者必於昏夜、狂飲者亦必於昏夜。吾人既屬旦晝、可不恆懷惕若、終日乾乾、擁信愛以為甲、戴望德以為胄、而期待救恩乎。

人而毀傷天主之宮殿、則天主必棄絕之；應知天主之宮殿至為聖潔、而爾實天主之宮殿也。

爾其戰戰兢兢、保身保群；斯群也、即主以其寶血贖得之教會、而聖神之所以立爾為主教、以資督導也。

拔吾人於暗冥之域、而躋吾人於其愛子之國。

憑主慈腸、東方已曙；

亞基帕語葆樂曰：『吾之不被汝勸化、而為基督之徒也幾希！』

蒙天主聖父按預知而拔擢、因聖神而成聖、服膺恩命、而霑濡耶穌基督寶血之眾兄弟曰：願恩寵康寧、錫爾不匱、日進無疆。

凡任宣講者、當講述聖道、一若為天主之舌人者；其任服務者、則當依天主所賦之才力、儘量貢獻。總之、任作何事、務求以耶穌基督之名、歸榮天主。但願天主享受光榮與德能、永世靡暨、心焉祝之。

且沐以芳澤、俾克配其愛子；此乃所以彰其大德也、

俾成完人、而為天主之孝子、處邪污之世、而能保守清白、明如日月、照耀乾坤；使惟生之道、因爾益彰。如是則予平生之所為僕僕風塵、不遑寧息者、庶幾不為徒勞、且得揚眉吐氣於基督之日矣。

且從猶太及天下萬國之中、甄而別之、召而集之；果有何不可乎？

予為彼等之故而自聖、欲令彼等亦真能成聖也。

聚精會神、看定目標、奮赴前程、必欲自附於基督耶穌、以臻上達庶幾無負天主之寵召。

吾願其因教會及基督耶穌、享受光榮、奕世無暨、心焉祝之。

世之豐席厚履者固當飲水而思源兮。困苦瀕死者亦應俯伏而投誠。勗哉吾魂。為主而生。

我若隨聲和。將遺子孫毒。

聖神者、即吾儕選民承業蒙贖之質也。此亦所以發揚天主之光輝云耳。
