1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the sojourners scattered abroad in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen
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 and sanctified by the Spirit to be obedient to Jesus Christ and to be sprinkled with his blood: Grace and peace be multiplied to 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 be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he caused us to be born again to a living hope through 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 to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, 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 being guarded through faith for a 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 In this you rejoice, even if now for a little while you have had to suffer various trials
Nui atu to koutou koa ki tenei, ahakoa pouri mo te wa iti nei, kite ai he pouri, i nga whakamatautauranga maha:
7 so that the proven character of your faith—far more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire—may result in praise, honor, and glory when Jesus Christ is revealed.
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 Although you once did not know him, you love him; although you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with an unspeakable and glorious joy,
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 because you are receiving the end result of your faith—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 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that would come to you searched and carefully investigated,
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 inquiring about the time and circumstances that the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when he testified in advance to the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would 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 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in regard to the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to catch a glimpse of these things.
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 Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope completely on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
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, do not conform yourselves to the evil desires you had when you lived in 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 just as he who called you is holy, you also must be holy in all your conduct,
Engari kia rite ki te kaikaranga i a koutou, he tapu hoki ia; kia tapu ano hoki ta koutou whakahaere katoa;
16 for it is written, “Be holy, because I am holy.”
Kua tuhituhia na hoki, Kia tapu koutou; he tapu hoki ahau.
17 If you call on the Father who judges without partiality according to each person's work, pass the time of your sojourn in reverent fear.
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 For you know that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your fathers, not with perishable things like silver or gold,
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, a lamb without blemish or spot.
Engari he toto utu nui me te mea no te reme kohakore, pokekore, ara no te Karaiti.
20 He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sake.
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 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so 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 Since you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth through the Spirit, resulting in genuine brotherly love, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.
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 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the word of God that lives and abides forever. (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 like grass, and all the glory of man is like a flower of grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls,
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:
