Petero I 2
1 NO ia mea, e haalele oukou i ka opuinoino a pau, a me ka wahahee a pau, a me ka hookamani, a me ka paonioni, a me ka olelo ino a pau;
Rid yourselves, therefore, of all malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander.
2 E like me na keiki hanau hou, pela oukou e iini ai i ka wain aiai o ka olelo, i mea e ulu nui ai oukou:
Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,
3 Ina paha, ua hoao oukou he maikai ka Haku.
now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
4 Ua hele mai oukou io na la, ka pohaku ola, ua haaleleia no nae ia e kanaka, aka, ua waeia mai e ke Akua, he maikai io.
As you come to Him, the living stone, rejected by men but chosen and precious in God’s sight,
5 O oukou no hoi, e like me na pohaku ola, ua hoonohonohoia oukou i hale uhane, a i poe kahuna hemolele hoi, i kaumaha aku ai oukou i na mohai uhane, i ka mea oluolu i ke Akua ma o Iesu Kristo la.
you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
6 Nolaila i i mai ai ka palapala hemolele, Aia hoi, ua hoonoho wau ma Ziona, i pohaku kumu no ke kihi, i waeia, a he mea waiwai io: a o ka mea manaoio aku ia ia, aole ia e hoohilahilaia.
For it stands in Scripture: “See, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
7 He maikai io ia ia oukou i ka poe manaoio; aka, i ka poe hoolohe ole, o ka pohaku i haaleleia e ka poe hana hale, oia ka i hooliloia i pohaku kamn no ke kihi,
To you who believe, then, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,”
8 He pohaku e okupe ai, a he pohaku hoohihia hoi, i ka poe i okupe i ka olelo, ka poe hoolohe ole; e like me ke koho mua ana.
and, “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word—and to this they were appointed.
9 Aka, o oukou, he hanaunai waeia, he poe kahuna alii, he aupuni kanaka hemolele, he poe kanaka nona ponoi; i hoike aku ai oukou i ka maikai o ka mea nana oukou i hea mai, mai loko mai o ka pouli a i ka malamalama kupanaha ona.
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
10 Aole oukou he aupuni mamua, aka, i keia manawa, he aupuni oukou no ke Akua; ia manawa, aole oukou i alohaia, i keia manawa ua alohaia mai no.
Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
11 E na pokii e, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oukou, me he poe malihini la, a me he poe lewa la, e hoomamao aku oukou i na kuko o ke kino, i na mea ku e i ko ka uhane.
Beloved, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from the desires of the flesh, which war against your soul.
12 A e noho pono hoi oukou, iwaena o ko na aina e; i hoonani aku ai lakou i ke Akua, ke hiki mai ka la o ka ike ana mai, no ko lakou ike ana i ka oukou hana maikai, ma ka mea a lakou e ohumu nei ia oukou, me he poe hana hewa la.
Conduct yourselves with such honor among the Gentiles that, though they slander you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us.
13 Nolaila, e hoolohe pono oukou i ka na luna kanaka a pau no ka Haku: ina ma ka ke alii nui e like ia me he Moi la;
Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to the king as the supreme authority,
14 Ina ma ka na kiaaina, e like ia me na mea i hoounaia e ia no ka hoopai una i ka poe hana hewa, a no ka hoomaikai ana aku i ka poe hana maikai.
or to governors as those sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.
15 No ka mea, pela ko ke Akua makemake, ma ka hana maikai ana, e pilipu ai ia oukou ka naaupo o ka poe ike ole.
For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorance of foolish men.
16 Me he poe kauwa ole la, aole nae e hoolilo ana i ko oukou hookauwa ole ia i mea e uhi ai i ka hewa, aka, e like me na kauwa a ke Akua.
Live in freedom, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.
17 E hoomaikai aku i na mea a pau: e aloha i na hoahanau: e makau i ke Akua: e hoomaikai i ke alii.
Treat everyone with high regard: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.
18 E na, kauwa, e noho pono oukou malalo o ko oukou mau haku, me ka makau nui aku; aole i na haku maikai wale no, a me ka oluolu, aka, i ka poe oolea no hoi kekahi.
Servants, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but even to those who are unreasonable.
19 No ka mea, eia ka i ku i ka pono, ina no ka manao i ke Akua, e hoomanawanui ai kekahi i ke kaumaha no ka hooluhi hewa ia.
For if anyone endures the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God, this is to be commended.
20 Auhea hoi ka mahaloia mai, ke hoomanawanui oukou i ke kuiia mai no ko oukou mau hewa iho? Aka, ina e hoinoia mai oukou, no ka oukou hana maikai ana, a hoomanawanui oukou, oia ka pono i ke Akua.
How is it to your credit if you are beaten for doing wrong and you endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.
21 No keia mea, i heaia mai oukou: no ka mea, ua hoinoia o Kristo no kakon, a ua waiho oia no oukou i kumu hana, i hahai aku ai oukou ma kona mau kapuwai;
For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His footsteps:
22 Ka mea i hana hewa ole, aole hoi i ikeia ka apaapa ma kona waha.
“He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth.”
23 Aia kuamuamuia mai oia, aole ia i kuamuamu hou aku; a i kona hoehaia, aole ia i olelo hooweliweli aku; aka, haawi aku oia ia ia iho i ka mea nana e hoopai mai ma ka pololei.
When they heaped abuse on Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats, but entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly.
24 Nana iho no i hali i ko kakon hewa ma kona kino iho maluna o ka laau, i make ai kakou i ka hewa, e ola ai i ka pono; ua hoolaia hoi oukou e kona mau palapu.
He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. “By His stripes you are healed.”
25 No ka mea, ua like oukou me na hipa e hele hewa ana; aka, ua hoihoiia mai nei oukou i ke Kahuhipa, a me ka Lunakiai o ko oukou mau uhane.
For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
