< 1 Peter 3 >

1 In like manner, ye wives, —submitting yourselves unto your own husbands; in order that, if any are not yielding unto the word, through their wives behaviour, they may, without the word, be won,
O OUKOU hoi, e na wahine, e noho pono oukou malalo o ka oukou mau kane iho: alaila, ina malama ole kekahi o lakou i ka olelo, e hoohuliia mai lakou, me ka olelo ole aku, no ka noho maikai ana o na wahine;
2 Having been permitted to behold your reverently chaste behaviour, —
I ko lakou ike ana mai ia oukou e noho maemae ana me ka makau.
3 Whose adorning, let it be—not the outward, of plaiting the hair and wearing golden ornaments, or putting on of apparel,
A i ko oukou kahiko ana, aole o ko waha, o ka hili ana i ka lauoho, a me ke komo ana i ke gula, a me ka aahu ana i ka aahu;
4 But the hidden character, of the heart, —in the incorruptible [ornament] of the quiet, and meek, spirit, which is, in presence of God, of great price.
Aka, e kahiko oukou i ke kino ike ole ia o ka naau, ma ka mea palaho ole, o ka manao akahai a me ka noho malie; oia ka waiwai nui imua o ke Akua.
5 For, so, at one time, the holy women also, who directed their hope towards God, used to adorn themselves, being in submission unto their own husbands:
Pela i kahiko ai na wahine haipule ia lakou iho, i ka wa mamua, o ka poe i hilinai i ke Akua, e noho pono ana malalo o ka lakou mau kaue iho:
6 As, Sarah, was obedient unto Abraham, calling him, lord, —whose children ye have become—so long as ye are doing good, and not bringing yourselves into fear of any single cause of alarm.
E like me Sara i hoolohe ai ia Aberahama, me ke kapa ana aku ia ia he haku; he poe kaikamahine hoi oukou nana, ke hana maikai aku oukou, me ka hoomakau ole ia mai i kekahi mea makau.
7 Ye husbands, in like manner, dwelling with them according to knowledge, —as unto a weaker vessel, unto the female [vessel], assigning honour, as joint—inheritors also of life’s favour, —to the end that unhindered may be, your prayers.
O oukou no hoi, e na kane, e noho pono oukou me lakou, ma ka naauao, e hoomaikai aku ana i ka wahine me he ipu palupalu la, me he mau hooilina pu la o ke ola maikai; i ole ai e nookiia ka oukou pule.
8 And, finally, all, being of one mind, having fellow—feeling, attached to the brethren, of tender affection, of lowly mind:
Eia hoi ka hope, e lokahi ko oukou manao a pau, e lokomaikai kekahi i kekahi; he poe aloha hoahanau, e menemene hoi, a e akahai.
9 Not returning evil for evil, nor reviling for reviling, but, on the contrary, bestowing a blessing, —because, hereunto, have ye been called, in order that, a blessing, ye might inherit.
Mai hoihoi aku i ka ino no ka ino, aole hoi ke kuamuamu no ke kuamuamu; e okoa ka oukou, o ka hoomaikai aku; e ike hoi oukou, na heaia mai oukou ilaila, i hooiliia mai ia oukou ka hoomaikaiia.
10 For, he that desireth to love, life, and to see good days, Let him cause his tongue to cease from mischief, and lips, that they speak not deceit;
O ka mea manao e pomaikai i kona wa e ola nei, a e ike i na la oluolu, ua oki kona alelo ke pane aku i ka hewa, a me kona lehelehe i ka olelo ana i ka apaapa;
11 Let him turn away from mischief, and do good, Let him seek peace, and pursue it;
E hoalo ae oia i ka hewa, a e hana hoi i ka mea pono; e imi i ke kuikahi, a malaila e hahai aku ai.
12 Because, the eyes of the Lord, are towards the righteous, and his ears, unto their supplication, —Whereas, the face of the Lord, is against them that are doing mischievous things.
No ka mea, ke kau nei na maka o ke Akua, maluna o ka poe pono, a ke lohe nei kona pepeiao i ka lakou pule; aka, ua hoomaka-e ka Haku i Ka poe hana hewa.
13 Who, then, is he that shall harm you, if, for that which is good, ye become zealous?
Owai la hoi ka mea hana ino aku ia oukou, ke hahai oukou mamuli o ka mea pono?
14 Nevertheless, even if ye should suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy [are ye]! Their fear, however, do not fear, neither be troubled;
Aka, ina eha oukou no ka pono, ua pomaikai oukou. Mai makau oukou i ko lakou hooweliweli ana, aole hoi e pihoihoi;
15 But, the Lord Christ, hallow ye in your hearts, ready always for a defence, unto every one that is asking you a reason concerning, the hope within you, —nevertheless, with meekness and reverence:
Aka, e hoano i ka Haku i ke Akua, iloko o ko oukou naau. E makaukau mau oukou e hoomaopopo aku i ka poe e ninau mai ia oukou i ke kumu o ka lana ana o ko oukou manao, me ke akahai, a me ka haahaa.
16 Having, a good conscience, in order that, wherein they speak against you, they may be put to shame who cast wanton insult on, your good behaviour in Christ.
E ao hoi, i hala ole ka manao; i hilahila ka poe hakuepa i ko oukou noho pono ana iloko o Kristo, no ka lakou olelo hewa ana ia oukou, me he poe hewa la.
17 For it is, better, as well-doers, if it should please the pleasure of God, to be suffering, than, as evil-doers:
Ina manao mai ke Akua pela, e aho ko oukou eha ana no ka hana maikai ana, aole no ka hana ino ana.
18 Because, Christ also, once for all, concerning sins, died, —Just in behalf of unjust, —in order that he might introduce us unto God; being put to death, indeed, in flesh, but made alive in spirit, —
No ka mea, ua make no hoi o Kristo no ka hewa, o ka mea pono no ka poe hewa, i alakai oia ia kakou i ke Akua: ua pepehiia oia ma ke kino, ua hoolaia hoi ma ka uhane;
19 In which, even unto the spirits in prison, he went and proclaimed, —
Pela ia i hele ai, a ao aku no hoi i na uhane e noho nei ma kahi paahao;
20 [Spirits] unyielding at one time, when the longsuffering of God was holding forth a welcome in the days of Noah, there being in preparation an ark—[going] into which, a few, that is eight, souls, were brought safely through by means of water, —
I ka poe i hoomaloka mamua, i na la o Noa, i ka wa i kakali ai ko ke Akua ahonui, i ka hoomakaukau ana i ka halelana, malaila i hoolaia'i kekahi poe uuku, ma ka wai, ewalu hoi lakou.
21 Which [water] in manner corresponding, doth, now, save, you also—even immersion, —not a putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the request unto God, for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, —
Ma ia mea, o ka bapetizo ana, ka mea i hoailonaia, oia ka mea e hoola mai nei ia kakou, (aole nae o ka holoi ana o ka paumaele o ke kino, aka, o ka hoomaopopo ana i ka manao maikai i ke Akua, ) ma ke alahouana o Iesu Kristo:
22 Who is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, messengers and authorities and powers, having been made subject unto him.
O ka mea i hele aku i ka lani, a oia hoi ia e noho la ma ka lima akau o ke Akua; a ua hoonohoia malalo iho ona, na anela, a me na mea kiekie a me na mea mana.
