Petero I 3
1 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;
Wives, in the same way, submit yourselves to your husbands, so that even if they refuse to believe the word, they will be won over without words by the behavior of their wives
2 I ko lakou ike ana mai ia oukou e noho maemae ana me ka makau.
when they see your pure and reverent demeanor.
3 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;
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair or gold jewelry or fine clothes,
4 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.
but from the inner disposition of your heart, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.
5 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:
For this is how the holy women of the past adorned themselves. They put their hope in God and were submissive to their husbands,
6 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.
just as Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. And you are her children if you do what is right and refuse to give way to fear.
7 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.
Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as a delicate vessel, and with honor as fellow heirs of the gracious gift of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
8 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.
Finally, all of you, be like-minded and sympathetic, love as brothers, be tenderhearted and humble.
9 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.
Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
10 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;
For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.
11 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.
He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.
12 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.
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
13 Owai la hoi ka mea hana ino aku ia oukou, ke hahai oukou mamuli o ka mea pono?
Who can harm you if you are zealous for what is good?
14 Aka, ina eha oukou no ka pono, ua pomaikai oukou. Mai makau oukou i ko lakou hooweliweli ana, aole hoi e pihoihoi;
But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear what they fear; do not be shaken.”
15 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.
But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that is in you. But respond with gentleness and respect,
16 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.
keeping a clear conscience, so that those who slander you may be put to shame by your good behavior in Christ.
17 Ina manao mai ke Akua pela, e aho ko oukou eha ana no ka hana maikai ana, aole no ka hana ino ana.
For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
18 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;
For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit,
19 Pela ia i hele ai, a ao aku no hoi i na uhane e noho nei ma kahi paahao;
in whom He also went and preached to the spirits in prison
20 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.
who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In the ark a few people, only eight souls, were saved through water.
21 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:
And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
22 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.
who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers subject to Him.
