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 for the older ones among you, who are elders in the church, I, their fellow elder, and a witness to the sufferings of the Christ, who will also share in the glory that is to be revealed –
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.
I beg you to be true shepherds of the flock of God among you, not because you are compelled, but of your own free will; not from a base love of gain, but with a ready spirit;
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 as lords of your charges, but as examples to your 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.
Then, when the chief shepherd appears, you will win the crown of glory that never fades.
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.
Again, you younger ones should show deference to the older. And all of you should put on the badge of humility in mutual service, for ‘God is opposed to the proud, but gives his help 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 the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in his good time,
7 E waiho aku i ko oukou kaumaha a pau maluna ona; no ka mea, ke manao nei oia ia oukou.
laying all your anxieties on him, for he makes you his care.
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.
Exercise self-control, be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, like a roaring lion, is prowling about, eager to devour you.
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.
Stand firm against him, strong in your faith; knowing, as you do, that the sufferings which you are undergoing are being endured to the full by the Lord’s followers throughout the world.
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)
God, from whom all help comes, and who called you, by your union with Christ, into his eternal glory, will, when you have suffered for a little while, himself perfect, establish, strengthen you. (aiōnios g166)
To him be ascribed dominion for 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.
I have been writing to you briefly by the hand of Silas, our true-hearted friend (for so I regard him), to encourage you, and to bear my testimony that in what I have written is to be found the true love of God. On that take your stand.
13 Ke aloha aku nei ka poe i wae pu ia me oukou ma Babulona nei; a o ka'u keiki hoi o Mareko.
Your sister church in ‘Babylon’ sends you greeting, and so does Mark, who is as a son to me.
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 the kiss of love. May God give his peace to you all in your union with Christ.
