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 God's own people scattered over the earth, who are living as foreigners in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Roman Asia, and Bithynia,
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.
chosen in accordance with the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, with a view to their obedience and to their being sprinkled with the blood of Jesus Christ. May more and more grace and peace be granted to you.
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, who in His great mercy has begotten us anew to an ever-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;
to an inheritance imperishable, undefiled and unfading, which has been 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.
whom God in His power is guarding through faith for a salvation that even now stands ready for unveiling at the End of the Age.
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;
Rejoice triumphantly in the prospect of this, even if now, for a short time, you are compelled to sorrow amid 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:
The sorrow comes in order that the testing of your faith--being more precious than that of gold, which perishes and yet is proved by fire--may be found to result in praise and glory and honour at the re-appearing 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;
Him you love, though your eyes have never looked on Him. In Him, though at present you cannot see Him, you nevertheless trust, and triumph with a joy which is unspeakable and is crowned with glory,
9 E loaa mai ana ka hope o ko oukou manaoio, o ke ola o ko oukou poe uhane.
while you are securing as the outcome 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.
There were Prophets who earnestly inquired about that salvation, and closely searched into it--even those who spoke beforehand of the grace which was to come to you.
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.
They were eager to know the time which the Spirit of Christ within them kept indicating, or the characteristics of that time, when they solemnly made known beforehand the sufferings that were to come upon Christ and the glories which would 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.
To them it was revealed that they were serving not themselves but you, when they foretold the very things which have now been openly declared to you by those who, having been taught by the Holy Spirit which had been sent from Heaven, brought you the Good News. Angels long to stoop and 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 gird up your minds and fix your hopes calmly and unfalteringly upon the boon that is soon to be yours, at the re-appearing 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.
And, since you delight in obedience, do not shape your lives by the cravings which used to dominate you in the time of your 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--in imitation of the holy One who has called you--you also must be holy in all your habits of life.
16 No ka mea, na palapalaia mai, E hemolele oukou; no ka mea, owau ka hemolele.
Because it stands written, "You are to 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.
And if you address as your Father Him who judges impartially in accordance with each man's actions, then spend in fear the time of your stay here on earth,
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;
knowing, as you do, that it was not with a ransom of perishable wealth, such as silver or gold, that you were set free from your frivolous habits of life which had been handed down to you 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--as of an unblemished and spotless lamb.
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 pre-destined indeed to this work, even before the creation of the world, but has been plainly manifested in these last days for the sake of you who, through Him,
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.
are faithful to God, who raised Him from among the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are resting upon 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.
Now that, through your obedience to the truth, you have purified your souls for cherishing sincere brotherly love, you must love another heartily and fervently.
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 begotten again by God's ever-living and enduring word from a germ not of perishable, but of imperishable life. (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;
"All mankind resemble the herbage, and all their beauty is like its flowers. The herbage dries up, and its flowers drop off;
