Petero II 1
1 O SIMON A Petero, he kauwa a he lunaolelo na Iesu Kristo, na ka poe i loaa pu ka manao oiaio i maikai like, ma ka pono o ko kakou Akua, a me Iesu Kristo ko kakou Hoola;
Simon Peter, servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have been allotted an equal faith with us in the justice of our God and in our Savior Jesus Christ.
2 E nui ko oukou alohaia mai, a me ka maluhia hoi, no ka ike pono ana i ke Akua, a me Iesu, ko kakou Haku;
Grace to you. And may peace be fulfilled according to the plan of God and of Christ Jesus our Lord,
3 E like me ka haawi ana mai o kona mana Akua i na mea a pau no kakou, e ola'i, a e haipule ai, ma ka ike ana aku i ka mea nana kakou i wae mai ma ka nani a me ka pono.
in the same manner that all things which are for life and piety have been given to us by his Divine virtue, through the plan of him who has called us to our own glory and virtue.
4 Malaila no ua haiia mai na mea nui loa, e pomaikai nui ai; i mea e loaa ai ia oukou kekahi ano e like me ko ke Akua, no ka mea, ua haalele oukou i ka hewa iloko o ke ao nei, ma ke kuko.
Through Christ, he has given us the greatest and most precious promises, so that by these things you may become sharers in the Divine Nature, fleeing from the corruption of that desire which is in the world.
5 Eia hoi kekahi, e hooikaika loa oukou, me ko oukou manaoio e kui aku ai i ka hana pono; a me ka hana pono, i ka naauao;
But as for you, taking up every concern, minister virtue in your faith; and in virtue, knowledge;
6 A me ka naauao, i ka pakiko; a me ka pakiko, i ke ahonui; a me ke ahonui, i ka haipule;
and in knowledge, moderation; and in moderation, patience; and in patience, piety;
7 A me ka haipule, i ka launa hoahanau; a me ka launa hoahanau, i ke aloha.
and in piety, love of brotherhood; and in love of brotherhood, charity.
8 Ina iloko o oukou keia mau mea, a i mahuahua hoi, aole oukou e lilo i poe hoopalaleha, a i poe hua ole, ma ka ike aku i ko kakou Haku ia Iesu Kristo.
For if these things are with you, and if they abound, they will cause you to be neither empty, nor without fruit, within the plan of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Aka, o ka mea i nele i keia mau mea, ua makapo ia, ua powehiwehi ka ike ana, a ua poina ia ia kona huikalaia ana i na hewa kahiko.
For he who does not have these things at hand is blind and groping, being forgetful of his purification from his former offenses.
10 Nolaila, ea, e na hoahanau, e hooikaika loa oukou, i hooiaioia ko oukou heaia mai, a me ko oukou kohoia ana; no ka mea, ina e hana oukou i keia mau mea, aole loa oukou e haule.
Because of this, brothers, be all the more diligent, so that by good works you may make certain your calling and election. For in doing these things, you do not sin at any time.
11 Pela e hookomo lokomaikai ia'ku ai oukou iloko o ke aupuni mau loa o ko kakou Haku a Hoola hoi o Iesu Kristo. (aiōnios g166)
For in this way, you shall be provided abundantly with an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Nolaila, aole loa au hoomolowa i ka hoeueu i ko oukou manao i keia mau mea, ua ike no nae oukou, a ua ku paa ma keia mea oiaio.
For this reason, I will always begin to admonish you about these things, even though, certainly, you know them and are confirmed in the present truth.
13 Ke manao nei au, he mea pono i ko'u noho ana i keia halelewa, e hoala ia oukou me ka hoeueu aku i ka manao.
But I consider it just, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up with admonishments.
14 No ka mea, ua ike au, ua kokoke no e hemo ia'u keia halelewa o'u, e like me ka ko kakou Haku o Iesu Kristo i hoike mai ai ia'u.
For it is certain that the laying to rest of this, my tabernacle, is approaching swiftly, just as our Lord Jesus Christ has also indicated to me.
15 Aka hoi, e hooikaika mau wau, i hiki ia oukou, ke manao mau i keia mau mea mahope o kuu make ana.
Therefore, I will present a work for you to have, so that, frequently after my passing, you may call to mind these things.
16 No ka mea, aole makou i hahai mamuli o na olelo wahahee i imi akamai ia, i ko makou hoike ana aku ia oukou i ka mana, a me ka hiki ana mai o ko kakou Haku o Iesu Kristo, aka, he poe ike maka makou i kona nani.
For it was not by following fanciful doctrines that we made known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were made eyewitnesses of his greatness.
17 No ka mea, mai ke Akua ka Makua mai, i loaa mai ai ia ia ka hoomaikai, a me ka hoonani, i ka wa i hiki mai ai ka leo io na la, mai ka nani kupanaha loa mai; Eia kuu keiki hiwahiwa, ua olioli loa au ia ia.
For he received honor and glory from God the Father, whose voice descended to him from the magnificent glory: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”
18 O keia leo, mai ka lani mai, oia ka makou i lohe ai, i ka wa a makou i noho pu ai me ia, ma ka mauna hoano.
We also heard this voice conveyed from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
19 Eia hoi ia kakou ka na kaula olelo, i hooiaio loa ia; ua hana pono no hoi oukou i ko oukou malama ana ia mea, me he kukui la, e hoomalamalama ana i kahi pouli, a wehe mai ke alaula, a puka mai ka hokuao iloko o ko oukou mau naau;
And so, we have an even firmer prophetic word, to which you would do well to listen, as to a light shining within a dark place, until the day dawns, and the daystar rises, in your hearts.
20 Me ka ike mua i keia, o kela wanana keia wanana o ka palapala hemolele, aole na na kaula ponoi iho ka hoike ana.
Understand this first: that every prophecy of Scripture does not result from one’s own interpretation.
21 No ka mea, i ka wa kahiko, aole no ka mauao o kanaka, ka na kaula; aka, ua olelo mai na kanaka hemolele o ke Akua i ka uluhia mai e ka Uhane Hemolele.
For prophecy was not conveyed by human will at any time. Instead, holy men were speaking about God while inspired by the Holy Spirit.
