< 1 Peter 1 >
1 PETER an Apostle of IESVS CHRIST, to the strangers that dwell here and there throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,
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 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God ye Father vnto sanctification of ye Spirit, through obedience and sprinkeling of the blood of Iesus Christ: Grace and peace bee multiplied vnto you.
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 bee God, euen the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, which according to his aboundant mercie hath begotten vs againe vnto a liuely hope by the resurrection of Iesus 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 To an inheritance immortall and vndefiled, and that withereth not, reserued in heauen for vs,
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 Which are kept by the power of God through faith vnto saluation, which is prepared to be shewed 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 yee reioyce, though nowe for a season (if neede require) yee are in heauinesse, through manifolde tentations,
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 triall of your faith, being much more precious then golde that perisheth (though it be tried with fire) might bee founde vnto your praise, and honour and glorie at the appearing of Iesus 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 Whome yee haue not seene, and yet loue him, in whome nowe, though yee see him not, yet doe you beleeue, and reioyce with ioy vnspeakeable and glorious,
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 Receiuing the ende of your faith, euen the saluation of your soules.
I te mea ka whiwhi ki te tukunga iho o to koutou whakapono, ki te whakaoranga o o koutou wairua.
10 Of the which saluation ye Prophets haue inquired and searched, which prophecied of the grace that should come vnto 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 when or what time the Spirite which testified before of Christ which was in them, shoulde declare the sufferings that should come vnto Christ, and the glorie that shoulde 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 Vnto whome it was reueiled, that not vnto themselues, but vnto vs they shoulde minister the things, which are nowe shewed vnto you by them which haue preached vnto you the Gospell by the holy Ghost sent downe from heauen, the which things the Angels desire to beholde.
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, girde vp the Ioynes of your minde: bee sober, and trust perfectly on that grace that is brought vnto you, in the reuelation of Iesus 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 obedient children, not fashioning your selues vnto the former lustes 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 as hee which hath called you, is holie, so be yee holie in all maner of conuersation;
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, Be yee holie, for I am holie.
Kua tuhituhia na hoki, Kia tapu koutou; he tapu hoki ahau.
17 And if ye call him Father, which without respect of person iudgeth according to euery mans woorke, passe the time of your dwelling here in feare,
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 yee were not redeemed with corruptible things, as siluer and golde, from your vaine conuersation, receiued by the traditions of the 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 Lambe vndefiled, and without spot.
Engari he toto utu nui me te mea no te reme kohakore, pokekore, ara no te Karaiti.
20 Which was ordeined before the foundation of the world, but was declared in the last times for your sakes,
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 Which by his meanes doe beleeue in God that raised him from the dead, and gaue him glorie, that your faith and hope might bee 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 Hauing purified your soules in obeying the trueth through the spirite, to loue brotherly without faining, loue one another with a pure heart feruently,
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 borne anewe, not of mortall seede, but of immortall, by the woorde of God, who liueth and endureth for euer. (aiōn )
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 )
24 For all flesh is as grasse, and all the glorie of man is as the flower of grasse. The grasse withereth, and the flower falleth 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:
25 But the worde of the Lord endureth for euer: and this is the woorde which is preached among you. (aiōn )
Ko te kupu ia a te Ariki, mau tonu ake ake. Ko te kupu ano tenei o te rongopai e kauwhautia atu nei ki a koutou. (aiōn )
