1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect,
Na Pita, he apotoro na Ihu Karaiti, ki te hunga whiriwhiri e noho manene ana i Ponoto, i Karatia, i Kaporokia, i Ahia, i Pitinia,
2 According to the foreknowledge of God the Father, unto the sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you and peace be multiplied.
He hunga kua oti te whiriwhiri, te pera ano me ta te Atua Matua i matau ai i mua, i runga i te whakatapunga a te Wairua, kia ngohengohe, kia tauhiuhia ki nga toto o Ihu Karaiti: Kia whakanuia ki a koutou te aroha noa, me te rangimarie.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy hath regenerated us unto a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Kia whakapaingia te Atua, te Matua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, nana nei, na tana mahi tohu e nui nei, tatou i whanau hou ai ki te tumanako ora, i a Ihu Karaiti ka ara ake nei i te hunga mate,
4 Unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that can not fade, reserved in heaven for you,
Ki te kainga kahore ona pirau, kahore ona poke, e kore ano hoki e memeha, e puritia mai nei i te rangi mo koutou,
5 Who, by the power of God, are kept by faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.
Mo te hunga e tiakina nei e te kaha o te Atua i runga i te whakapono, kia taea ra ano te whakaoranga kua rite noa ake nei, a ka whakakitea mai a te wa whakamutunga.
6 Wherein you shall greatly rejoice, if now you must be for a little time made sorrowful in divers temptations:
Nui atu to koutou koa ki tenei, ahakoa pouri mo te wa iti nei, kite ai he pouri, i nga whakamatautauranga maha:
7 That the trial of your faith (much more precious than gold which is tried by the fire) may be found unto praise and glory and honour at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Na, ko te whakamatautauranga o to koutou whakapono, nui atu tona pai i to te koura e memeha nei, ae ra i te mea kua oti te whakamatautau ki te kapura, a ka kitea tona tukunga iho, he whakamoemiti, he honore, he kororia, a te whakakitenga mai o Ih u Karaiti,
8 Whom having not seen, you love: in whom also now, though you see him not, you believe: and believing shall rejoice with joy unspeakable and glorified;
Kahore nei ia e kitea e koutou, heoi arohaina ana e koutou; ahakoa kahore koutou e kite inaianei, heoi i a koutou ka whakapono nei ki a ia, nui atu te koa, he koa kororia, e kore e taea te korero:
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
I te mea ka whiwhi ki te tukunga iho o to koutou whakapono, ki te whakaoranga o o koutou wairua.
10 Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and diligently searched, who prophesied of the grace to come in you.
Ko taua whakaora, he mea ata rapu he mea whakataki iho na nga poropiti i poropititia ai te aroha noa, ara tenei i a koutou nei:
11 Searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them did signify: when it foretold those sufferings that are in Christ, and the glories that should follow:
I a ratou i rapu ai ko tehea wa, he wa pehea hoki, ta te Wairua o te Karaiti i roto i a ratou i whakapuaki ai, i a ia e whakaatu ana i mua i nga mamae o te Karaiti, i te kororia ano hoki o muri iho.
12 To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you they ministered those things which are now declared to you by them that have preached the gospel to you, the Holy Ghost being sent down from heaven, on whom the angels desire to look.
I whakakitea mai nei ano ki a ratou, ehara i te mea mo ratou ake, engari mo tatou, nga mea i minitatia ra e ratou, kua korerotia nei hoki ki a koutou inaianei e te hunga i kauwhautia ai te rongopai ki a koutou, he meatanga na te Wairua Tapu i to noa mai nei i te rangi. Hiahia tonu nga anahera ki te matakitaki ki aua mea.
13 Wherefore having the loins of your mind girt up, being sober, trust perfectly in the grace which is offered you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,
Heoi whitikiria nga hope o o koutou hinengaro, kia mataara, tumanako atu, a taea noatia te mutunga, ki te aroha noa e kawea mai ki a koutou a te whakakitenga mai o Ihu Karaiti.
14 As children of obedience, not fashioned according to the former desires of your ignorance:
Kia rite ki nga tamariki ngohengohe; kei rite te ahua ki nga hiahia taikaha o mua i a koutou e kuware ana:
15 But according to him that hath called you, who is holy, be you also in all manner of conversation holy:
Engari kia rite ki te kaikaranga i a koutou, he tapu hoki ia; kia tapu ano hoki ta koutou whakahaere katoa;
16 Because it is written: You shall be holy, for I am holy.
Kua tuhituhia na hoki, Kia tapu koutou; he tapu hoki ahau.
17 And if you invoke as Father him who, without respect of persons, judgeth according to every one’s work: converse in fear during the time of your sojourning here.
Na, ki te karanga koutou ki te Matua, ko ia nei hei whakawa mo te mahi a tenei, a tenei, kahore ano hoki ana whakapai kanohi, e noho i runga i te mataku i a koutou e noho manene nei:
18 Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as gold or silver, from your vain conversation of the tradition of your fathers:
Kia mahara ehara nga mea pirau, te hiriwa, te koura, i te utu mo koutou, i puta mai ai i a koutou ritenga tekateka i whakarerea mai e o koutou matua;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb unspotted and undefiled,
Engari he toto utu nui me te mea no te reme kohakore, pokekore, ara no te Karaiti.
20 Foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in the last times for you,
I whakaritea nei i mua o te orokohanganga o te ao, a kua whakakitea mai nei i te mutunga o nga wa, he whakaaro hoki ki a koutou,
21 Who through him are faithful in God, who raised him up from the dead, and hath given him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.
Kua meinga nei e ia kia whakapono ki te Atua, nana nei ia i whakaara ake i te mate, a hoatu ana ki a ia he kororia; kia whai whakapono ai koutou, kia whai tumanakotanga atu ai ki te Atua.
22 Purifying your souls in the obedience of charity, with a brotherly love, from a sincere heart love one another earnestly:
Kua horoia nei e koutou o koutou wairua, i a koutou kua meinga nei e te Wairua kia ngohengohe ki te pono, e kore iho ai he tinihanga o te aroha ki nga teina, na, kia nui te aroha o tetahi ki tetahi, he aroha a ngakau:
23 Being born again not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, by the word of God who liveth and remaineth for ever. (aiōn g165)
He mea whanau hou hoki koutou, ehara i te mea no te purapura pirau, engari no te mea piraukore, na te kupu a te Atua, e ora nei, e u tonu nei, ake ake. (aiōn g165)
24 For all flesh is as grass; and all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass is withered, and the flower thereof is fallen away.
Rite tonu hoki ki te tarutaru nga kikokiko katoa; ko te kororia katoa ano hoki o te tangata, ano he puawai tarutaru. E maroke te tarutaru, e ngahoro tona puawai:
