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;
So put aside all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all 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, long for pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow,
3 Ina paha, ua hoao oukou he maikai ka Haku.
if indeed 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, a living stone rejected by men but chosen and precious in the sight of God,
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 yourselves, like living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer 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 says in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and no one who believes in him will ever 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,
This precious value is for you who believe, but to those who are disobedient, “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.” By disobeying the word they stumble, which is what they were appointed to do.
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 lineage, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies 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 strangers and sojourners to abstain from the desires of the flesh that wage war against the 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.
keeping your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good works and glorify God on the day of his visitation.
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;
Therefore, be subject to every human institution for the sake of the Lord, whether to the king as supreme,
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 who are sent by him to punish evildoers and to praise those who do good.
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 you silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing good.
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 as free people, but do not use your freedom as an excuse to do 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.
Give honor to all, love the brotherhood, fear God, and 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 to your masters with complete respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are cruel.
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 there is favor upon anyone who endures pain while suffering unjustly for the sake of conscience toward God.
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.
What credit do you get if you endure when you sin and are beaten for it? But if you endure when you do good and suffer for it, this finds favor with 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 have been called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving an example so that you could follow in his footsteps.
22 Ka mea i hana hewa ole, aole hoi i ikeia ka apaapa ma kona waha.
He committed no sin, nor was deceit 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 he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten 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 cross, so that we might die to our sins and live for righteousness. By his wounds you have been 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.
