But you are an AM NIVCHAR (a chosen people ), a MAMLECHET KOHANIM (a kingdom of priests, royal priests), a GOY KADOSH (a holy nation), an AM SEGULLAH (a people of treasured possession), for this purpose: that you may declare the wondrous deeds of the One who gave you the kri'ah (calling) and summoned you out of choshech into his marvelous ohr.

Moshiach, who himself NASAH (bore, carried away) ES PEYSHA'EINU (our transgressions, our sins) in geviyyato on HAETZ that, having become niftarim (deceased ones) to chattoteinu, we might become Kol Chai (all living) to Tzidkanut (Righteousness); UVACHAVURATO NIRPA LANU (by whose wounds you were healed). For you were KULLANU KA'TZON TA'INU (all of us like sheep we went astray), for you were as sheep being led astray, but you made teshuva now to the Ro'eh and Mashgiach (Overseer) of your nefashot (souls).

You, who once were LO AMI (not My people) but now AMI ATAH (My people you are), the AM HASHEM (the people of G-d), the ones having not received rachamim, but now having received rachamim.

Chaverim, I say “Chazak!” (Be Strong) to you as aliens and exiles, exhorting you to abstain from fleshly ta'avot (lusts) which make milchamah (war) against the neshamah. Let your hitnahagut (conduct) among the Goyim show feste (excellent) midas chasidus (trait of piety) that, wherein they speak against you as anshei resha (men of wickedness), by observing your ma'asim tovim they may glorify HASHEM in the YOM PEKUDDAH (Day of Visitation, Reckoning).

You also, like avanim chayyot (living stones), are being built up for a Bayit Ruchani (a Spiritual Beis, House) for a kehunnat kodesh (holy priesthood) to offer up zivchei ruach (sacrifices of the spirit) acceptable to HASHEM through Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.

Therefore, having put away all rishus (malice), all remiyah (guile, fraud, deceit) and tzevi'ut (hypocrisy) and kin'ah (envy) and all lashon hora

Come to him, to that “Even Chayyah” (Living Stone), CHADAL ISHIM (rejected by men) but BECHIR (Chosen), and precious in the sight of HASHEM.

As Avadim (Servants) of HASHEM, live as Bnei Chorin (Sons of Freedom, Freedmen); yet do not use your cherut (freedom) as a cloak for concealing ra'ah (evil).

For it is the ratzon HASHEM (the will of G-d) that you, by acting as anshei tzedek, may silence the lack of da'as (knowledge) of the kesilim (the foolish people).
