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;
This letter comes from Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who share with us the same priceless trust in our God and Savior Jesus Christ, the one who is truly good and right.
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;
May you have ever more grace and peace as you grow in the knowledge of God and of 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.
Through his divine power we have been given everything that's important to live a God-centered life. This comes through knowing him who called us to himself by his own glory and goodness. In this way he's given us wonderful, priceless promises.
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 these promises you can share in the divine nature, being rid of the corruption caused by this world's evil desires.
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;
For this same reason, do everything you can! Add to your trust in God, goodness; add to goodness, knowledge;
6 A me ka naauao, i ka pakiko; a me ka pakiko, i ke ahonui; a me ke ahonui, i ka haipule;
add to knowledge, self-control; add to self-control, patience; add to patience, reverence;
7 A me ka haipule, i ka launa hoahanau; a me ka launa hoahanau, i ke aloha.
add to reverence, affection for fellow-believers, add to affection for fellow-believers, love.
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.
The more you have these qualities, the more they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge 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 anyone who doesn't have such qualities is short-sighted, or blind. They forget that they've been cleansed from their past sins.
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.
So, brothers and sisters, be all the more determined to make sure you are truly “called and chosen.” If you do this, you won't ever fall.
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)
You will receive a tremendous welcome 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.
That's why I always remind you about these things, even though you know them already, and you stand firm in the truth that you possess.
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 still think it's a good idea to encourage you by giving you reminders while I live.
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.
I know the time when I shall leave this life will be coming soon— our Lord Jesus Christ has made this clear 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.
I will do my best so that when I'm gone you will always be able to remember 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.
We didn't follow made-up myths when we told you about the coming in power of our Lord Jesus Christ—we saw his majesty for ourselves.
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.
He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice of majestic glory spoke to him and announced, “This is my Son, the one I love, and who truly pleases me.”
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 ourselves heard this voice speak 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;
We also have the confirming word of prophecy that's absolutely trustworthy, and you will benefit from paying close attention to it. It's like a lamp that shines in a dark place until the day dawns, and the morning star shines to illuminate your minds.
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.
Most of all you should realize that no prophecy of scripture is a matter for interpretation based on the whims of an individual,
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 no prophecy originated in human ideas, but prophets spoke for God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
