1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Ko au Pita, ko e ʻaposetolo ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ki he kakai ʻāunofo kuo fakamovetevete ʻi Ponito, mo Kalētia, mo Kapatosia, mo ʻEsia, mo Pitinia,
2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you, and peace, be multiplied.
Kuo fili ʻo fakatatau ki he muʻaki ʻilo ʻoe ʻOtua ko e Tamai, ʻi he fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻoe Laumālie, ki he talangofua, pea ʻi he luluku ʻoe taʻataʻa ʻo Sisu Kalaisi: Ke tupulekina pe kiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e monūʻia.
3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again to a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ko e Tamai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia kuo ne fakatupu foʻou ʻakitautolu, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene ʻaloʻofa lahi, ki he ʻamanaki moʻui ʻi he toetuʻu ʻa Sisu Kalaisi mei he pekia,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
Ki ha tofiʻa taʻefaʻaʻauha, pea taʻeʻuli, ʻo taʻefaʻamae, ʻoku tauhiʻi ʻi he langi maʻatautolu,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith to salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
ʻAkitautolu ʻoku leʻohi ʻe he mālohi ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he tui ki he fakamoʻui kuo teu ke fakahā ʻi he kuonga ki mui.
6 In which ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season (if need be) ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
ʻAia ʻoku mou fiefia lahi ai, ka ko eni ʻi he ʻaho siʻi pe, ʻi heʻene ʻaonga ke pehē, ʻoku mou māfasia ʻi he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi lahi:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though tried with fire, might be found to praise, and honor, and glory, at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Koeʻuhi ʻi he ʻahiʻahi ʻa hoʻomou tui, ʻaia ʻoku mahuʻinga lahi ʻi he koula ʻoku ʻauha, ka kuo ʻahiʻahi ia ʻaki ʻae afi, ke ʻilo ia [ʻoku iku ]ki he fakamālōʻia mo e ongoongolelei mo e nāunau ʻi he fakahā mai ʻo Sisu Kalaisi:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see [him] not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable, and full of glory:
ʻAia ʻoku teʻeki te mou mamata, ka ʻoku mou ʻofa ki ai; pea ʻoku ʻikai pe te mou mamata ki ai, ka ʻi hoʻomou tui, ʻoku mou fiefia ʻaki ʻae fiefia taʻefaʻaʻauha pea fungani lelei:
9 Receiving the end of your faith, [even] the salvation of [your] souls.
ʻO maʻu ʻae ngataʻanga ʻo hoʻomou tui, ko e fakamoʻui ʻo homou laumālie.
10 Concerning which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace [that should come] to you:
ʻAe fakamoʻui ko ia naʻe ʻekea mo hakule lahi ki ai ʻae kau palōfita, ʻakinautolu naʻe kikite ki he ʻaloʻofa kiate kimoutolu:
11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
ʻO nau kumi pe hoko fakakū, pe ko e hā ʻae anga ʻoe kuonga ko ia naʻe lea ki ai ʻae Laumālie ʻo Kalaisi, ʻaia naʻe nofoʻia ʻakinautolu, ʻi heʻene tomuʻa fakahā ʻae ngaahi mamahi ʻo Kalaisi, pea mo e lelei ʻe hoko ai.
12 To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they ministered the things which are now reported to you by them that have preached the gospel to you, with the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
ʻAkinautolu naʻe fakahā ki ai, naʻe ʻikai maʻanautolu, kae maʻatautolu naʻa nau tauhiʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa, ʻaia kuo fakamatala eni kiate kimoutolu ʻekinautolu kuo malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei kiate kimoutolu, ʻaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni naʻe fekau hifo mei he langi; ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku holi ke fakasio ki ai ʻae kau ʻāngelo.
13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
Ko ia ke nonoʻo ʻae noʻotanga vala ʻa homou loto, pea leʻo, ʻo ʻamanaki lelei ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga, ki he lelei ʻe ʻomi kiate kimoutolu ʻi he fakahā ʻo Sisu Kalaisi;
14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
Ke mou ngali mo e fānau talangofua, ke ʻoua naʻa fakatatau ʻakimoutolu ki he ngaahi holi ʻi muʻa hoʻomou taʻeʻilo:
15 But as he who hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of deportment.
Kae hangē ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻaia kuo ne uiuiʻi ʻakimoutolu, ke māʻoniʻoni foki ʻakimoutolu ʻi hoʻomou moʻui kotoa pē;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
He kuo tohi, [ʻo pehē], “Mou māʻoniʻoni he ʻoku ou māʻoniʻoni.”
17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning [here] in fear:
Pea kapau ʻoku mou hū ki he Tamai, ʻaia ʻoku ne fakamaau ʻo taʻefilifilimānako ki he kakai, kae fakatatau ki he ngāue ʻae tangata taki taha, mou fai ke fakaʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻomou ʻāunofo ʻi he manavahē:
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, [as] silver and gold, from your vain course of life [received] by tradition from your fathers;
Koeʻuhi ʻoku mou ʻilo naʻe ʻikai ke huhuʻi ʻakimoutolu mei hoʻomou moʻui taʻeʻaonga, ʻi he talatupuʻa mei hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻe ʻauha, ko e siliva mo e koula;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Ka ʻi he taʻataʻa maʻongoʻonga ʻo Kalaisi, ʻo hangē ha lami taʻehanoʻila, pea taʻehanomele:
20 Who verily was fore-ordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifested in these last times for you,
ʻAia naʻe muʻaki tuʻutuʻuni moʻoni ʻi he teʻeki fakatupu ʻa māmani, ka naʻe fakahā ia ʻi he kuonga ki mui ni koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu,
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku tui ʻiate ia ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne fokotuʻu ia mei he pekia, mo ne hakeakiʻi ia; koeʻuhi ke ʻi he ʻOtua ʻa hoʻomou tui mo e ʻamanaki lelei.
22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit to unfeigned love of the brethren, [see that ye] love one another with a pure heart fervently:
Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou fakamaʻa homou laumālie, ʻi he Laumālie, ʻi hoʻomou talangofua ki he moʻoni, ki he ʻofa taʻeloi ʻoe kāinga, ke mou feʻofaʻaki ʻaki ʻae loto maʻa mo fakamātoato:
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
He kuo mou fanauʻi foʻou, kae ʻikai ʻaki ʻae tenga ʻe ʻauha, ka ko ia ʻe taʻefaʻaʻauha, ko e folofola ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku moʻui pea tolonga ʻo taʻengata. (aiōn g165)
24 For all flesh [is] as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and its flower falleth away:
“He ʻoku hangē ko e mohuku ʻae kakano kotoa pē, pea ko e nāunau kotoa pē ʻoe tangata ʻoku tatau mo e fisiʻi mohuku. ʻOku mae ʻae mohuku, pea ko hono fisi ʻoʻona ʻoku ngangana:
