Petero I 1
1 O PETERO, kekahi lunaolelo no Iesu Kristo, i ka poe i puehu liilii, a e noho malihini ana hoi ma Poneto, a ma Galatia, a ma Kapadokia, a ma Asia, a ma Bitunia;
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the elect who are exiles of the Dispersion throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen
2 Ma ka ike mua ana o ke Akua, ka Makua, ma o ka huikala ana o ka Uhane, ua waeia mai oukou, i poe hoolohe, a i poe e kapipiia i ke koko o Iesu Kristo; i nui ko oukou alohaia mai, a me ka maluhia hoi.
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by His blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance.
3 E hoomaikaiia'ku ke Akua, ka Makua o ko kakou Haku o Iesu Kristo, no kona lokomaikai nui iho, nana no i hoohanau mai ia kakou, i lana mau loa ai ka manao, ma ke alahouana o Iesu Kristo, mai ka make mai;
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 I loaa mai ia kakou ka hooilina pau ole, pelapela ole, mae ole, ua hoana e ia ma ka lani no kakou;
and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Ka poe i malamaia mai e ka mana o ke Akua, ma ka manaoio, i loaa mai ke ola i hoomakaukauia no ka hoikeia mai i ka wa mahope.
who through faith are shielded by God’s power for the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Malaila no oukou e hauoli nui nei, oiai nae ua kaumaha oukou i keia wa pokole, no ka hoao pinepine ia mai, i mea e pono ai;
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various trials
7 I lilo hoi ka hoao ana o ko oukou manaoio, ka mea i oi aku ka maikai mamua o ke gula pau wale, i hoaoia i ke ahi, i mea e mahaloia'i, a e hoomaikaiia'i, a e hoonani ia'i i ka wa e ikea mai ai o Iesu Kristo:
so that the proven character of your faith—more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
8 Ka mea a oukou i ike maka ole ai, a ua makemake no nae; a, me ka ike ole aku ia ia, ua manaoio aku no nae oukou ia ia me ka hauoli i ka olioli nani pau ole i ka haiia aku;
Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
9 E loaa mai ana ka hope o ko oukou manaoio, o ke ola o ko oukou poe uhane.
now that you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Oia ke ola a na kaula i huli ai, me ka imi ikaika, o ka poe i wanana mai i ka pono e hiki mai ana io oukou nei.
Concerning this salvation, the prophets who foretold the grace to come to you searched and investigated carefully,
11 Ua imi nui no lakou i ka mea a me ka manawa a ka Uhane o Kristo i hai mai ai iloko o lakou, i kona hoike mua ana mai i ka hoinoia o Kristo, a me ka hoonaniia, mahope o keia mau mea.
trying to determine the time and setting to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.
12 Ua hoikeia mai ia lakou, aole nae na lakou, na kakou, na mea a lakou i ao mai ai; oia hoi na mea i haiia'ku nei ia oukou, e ka poe hai aku i ka euanelio ia oukou, me ka Uhane Hemolele i hoounaia mai, mai ka lani mai: oia ka na anela i makemake ai e ike iho.
It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, when they foretold the things now announced by those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.
13 No ia mea, e kaei oukou i ka puhaka o ko oukou naau, e kuoo, a e hoomau i ka lana ana o ka manao, no ke alohaia mai i ka wa e hoikea mai ai o Iesu Kristo;
Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober-minded. Set your hope fully on the grace to be given you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
14 I like hoi oukou me na keiki hoolohe, aole e hoolike ana ia oukou iho me na kuko kahiko, i ko oukou wa e naaupo ana.
As obedient children, do not conform to the passions of your former ignorance.
15 Aka, e like me ka hemolele o ka mea nana oukou i koho mai, pela oukou e hemolele ai, i ko oukou noho ana a pau:
But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do,
16 No ka mea, na palapalaia mai, E hemolele oukou; no ka mea, owau ka hemolele.
for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
17 Ina oukou e hea aku i ka Makua, i ka mea i hoomaopopo me ka ewaewa ole, i kela kanaka, i keia kanaka, ma ke ano o kana hana ana, e noho oukou me ka makau, i ko oukou noho malihini ana.
Since you call on a Father who judges each one’s work impartially, conduct yourselves in reverent fear during your stay as foreigners.
18 Ua ike no hoi oukou, aole me na mea popo wale e like me ke kala a me ke gula, ua kuaiia oukou mai ko oukou noho lapuwale ana, mamuli o na mooolelo a ko oukou kupuna mai;
For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers,
19 Aka, me ke koko waiwai io o Kristo, me ko ke keikihipa kina ole a me ka hala ole:
but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot.
20 Ua boonohoia oia mamua o ka hookumu ana o ke ao nei; aka, ua hoikeia mai i keia wa hope no oukou,
He was known before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sake.
21 Ma ona la oukou i manaoio aku ai i ke Akua, nana i hoala mai ia ia mai ka make mai, a i hoonani aku ia ia; i manaoio ai, a i lana ai hoi ko oukou manao i ke Akua.
Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him; and so your faith and hope are in God.
22 I ka malama ana i ka oiaio, ua hoomaemae oukou i ko oukou naau, na ka Uhane mai, i ke aloha hookamani ole i na hoahanau; nolaila, ea, e aloha ikaika loa aku oukou i kekahi i kekahi me ka naau maemae.
Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth so that you have a genuine love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.
23 Ua hanau hou ia mai oukou, aole hoi na ka hua e pala wale ana, aka, na ka hua pala ole, ma ka olelo a ke Akua ola, ka mea e mau loa ana. (aiōn g165)
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. (aiōn g165)
24 No ka mea, ua like wale no me ka mauu na kanaka a pau, a o kona nani a pau, ua like me ka pua o ka mauu. E maloo ana no ka mauu. a haule wale iho no hoi kona pua;
For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,
