< 1 Peter 3 >

1 Married women, in the same way, be submissive to your husbands, so that even if some of them disbelieve the Message, they may, apart from the Message, be won over by the daily life of their wives, after watching your daily life--
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 so full of reverence, and so blameless!
I ko lakou ike ana mai ia oukou e noho maemae ana me ka makau.
3 Your adornment ought not to be a merely outward thing--one of plaiting the hair, putting on jewelry, or wearing beautiful dresses.
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 Instead of that, it should be a new nature within--the imperishable ornament of a gentle and peaceful spirit, which is indeed precious in the sight of God.
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 in ancient times also this was the way the holy women who set their hopes upon God used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their 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 Thus, for instance, Sarah obeyed Abraham, acknowledging his authority over her. And you have become Sarah's children if you do what is right and permit nothing whatever to terrify you.
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 Married men, in the same way, live with your wives with a clear recognition of the fact that they are weaker than you. Yet, since you are heirs with them of God's free gift of Life, treat them with honour; so that your prayers may not be hindered.
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 In conclusion, all of you should be of one mind, quick to sympathize, kind to the brethren, tenderhearted, lowly-minded,
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 requiting evil with evil nor abuse with abuse, but, on the contrary, giving a blessing in return, because a blessing is what you have been called by God to 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 who wishes to be well-satisfied with life and see happy days-- let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from deceitful words;
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 from evil, and do good; Let him inquire for peace and go in pursuit of 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 For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open to their supplication; but the face of the Lord is set against evil-doers."
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 And who will be able to harm you, if you show yourselves zealous for that which is good?
Owai la hoi ka mea hana ino aku ia oukou, ke hahai oukou mamuli o ka mea pono?
14 But even if you suffer for righteousness' sake, you are to be envied. So do not be alarmed by their threats, nor 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 in your hearts consecrate Christ as Lord, being always ready to make your defence to any one who asks from you a reason for the hope which you cherish.
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 Yet argue modestly and cautiously, keeping your consciences free from guilt, so that, when you are spoken against, those who slander your good Christian lives may be put to shame.
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 that you should suffer for doing right, if such be God's will, than for doing evil;
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 died for sins, the innocent One for the guilty many, in order to bring us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the 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 He also went and proclaimed His Message to the spirits that were in prison,
Pela ia i hele ai, a ao aku no hoi i na uhane e noho nei ma kahi paahao;
20 who in ancient times had been disobedient, while God's longsuffering was patiently waiting in the days of Noah during the building of the Ark, in which a few persons--eight in number--were brought safely through the 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 And, corresponding to that figure, the water of baptism now saves you--not the washing off of material defilement, but the craving of a good conscience after God--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 at God's right hand, having gone into Heaven, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to 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.
