Petero I 5
1 O WAU o kekahi luna kahiko, a he mea hoike i ko Iesu eha ana, a he hoaaloha pu no ka nani e hiki mai ana, ke nonoi aku nei au i na luna kahiko o oukou.
As a fellow elder, a witness of Christ’s sufferings, and a partaker of the glory to be revealed, I appeal to the elders among you:
2 E hanai oukou i ka poe o ke Akua iwaena o oukou, e kiai ana, aole no ka hookoiia mai, no ka makemake no; aole hoi no ka puni waiwai, aka, no ka inanao pono.
Be shepherds of God’s flock that is among you, watching over them not out of compulsion, but because it is God’s will; not out of greed, but out of eagerness;
3 Mai hana hoi, me he poe alii la maluna o ka ekalesia, aka, me he poe kumu la, i hoomahuiia'i e kela poe.
not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
4 A hiki i ka wa e hoikeia mai ai ke kahuhipa nui, alaila e loaa ia oukou ka lei nani loa, aole loa e mae.
And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
5 O oukou, e ka poe opiopio, e noho pono oukou malalo o na luna kahiko. O oukou hoi a pau, e noho pono oukou, kekahi malalo iho o kekahi, a e hoouhiia oukou i ka manao hoohaahaa; no ka mea, ua ku e ke Akua i ka poe hookiekie, aka, ke lokomaikai nei oia i ka poe hoohaahaa.
Young men, in the same way, submit yourselves to your elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
6 Nolaila, e hoohaahaa oukou ia oukou iho malalo iho o ka lima mana o ke Akua, i hookiekie ae oia ia oukou i ka wa pono.
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you.
7 E waiho aku i ko oukou kaumaha a pau maluna ona; no ka mea, ke manao nei oia ia oukou.
Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
8 E kuoo, a e makaala; no ka mea, e like me ka liona uwo, pela no e holoholo nei ko oukou enemi, o ka diabolo, e imi ana i kana mea e ale ai.
Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
9 E pale aku oukou ia ia, me ke kupaa ma ka manaoio, me ka ike pono hoi, ua hooluhi pu ia ko oukou poe hoahanau, e noho ana i ke ao nei, ia luhi hookahi no.
Resist him, standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.
10 Aka, o ke Akua, nana mai ka lokomaikai a pau, o ka mea i hea mai ai ia kakou nei i ka nani mau loa, ma o Kristo Iesu la, mahope o ko oukou eha pakole ana, nana no e hoolilo ia oukou i hemolele loa, a e hookumu hoi, a e hooikaika, a e hookupaa ia oukou. (aiōnios g166)
And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore you, secure you, strengthen you, and establish you. (aiōnios g166)
To Him be the power forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Ma o Silevano, he hoahanau pono o oukou i ko'u manao, ua palapala pokole aku au ia oukou, me ka hooikaika aku, a me ka hoike aku i ka lokomaikai oiaio o ke Akua, kahi a oukou e ku nei.
Through Silvanus, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.
13 Ke aloha aku nei ka poe i wae pu ia me oukou ma Babulona nei; a o ka'u keiki hoi o Mareko.
The church in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, as does my son Mark.
14 E aloha oukou i kekahi i kekahi, me ka honi aloha. E maluhia oukou a pau loa, ka poe iloko o Kristo Iesu. Amene.
Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
