Petri Ii 1
1 Simon Petrus, servus, et Apostolus Iesu Christi, iis, qui coaequalem nobiscum sortiti sunt fidem in iustitia Dei nostri, et Salvatoris Iesu Christi.
Ko au Saimone Pita, ko e tamaioʻeiki mo e ʻaposetolo ʻo Sisu Kalaisi, kiate kinautolu kuo lavaʻi mo kimautolu ʻae tui mahuʻinga ko ia ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ʻo hotau ʻOtua mo e Fakamoʻui ko Sisu Kalaisi:
2 Gratia vobis, et pax adimpleatur in cognitione Dei, et Christi Iesu Domini nostri:
Ke tupulekina kiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e monūʻia ʻi he ʻilo ʻoe ʻOtua, pea mo Sisu ko hotau ʻEiki,
3 quomodo omnia nobis divinae virtutis suae, quae ad vitam, et pietatem donata sunt, per cognitionem eius, qui vocavit nos propria gloria, et virtute,
ʻO fakatatau ki he foaki kiate kitautolu ʻe heʻene mālohi fakaʻotua ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki he moʻui mo e angafakaʻotua, ʻi he ʻilo kiate ia kuo ne uiuiʻi ʻakitautolu ki he hakeʻaki mo e māʻoniʻoni:
4 per quem maxima, et pretiosa nobis promissa donavit: ut per haec efficiamini divinae consortes naturae: fugientes eius, quae in mundo est, concupiscentiae corruptionem.
ʻAia kuo foaki ai kiate kitautolu ʻae ngaahi talaʻofa ʻoku lahi ʻaupito mo mahuʻinga: koeʻuhi ke mou kau ai ʻi he anga ʻae ʻOtua, ʻi hoʻomou hao mei he kovi ʻoku ʻi māmani ʻi he holi kovi.
5 Vos autem curam omnem subinferentes, ministrate in fide vestra virtutem, in virtute autem scientiam,
Pea koeʻuhi ko ia, ke mou mātuʻaki fai lahi, ʻo taki hake hoʻomou tui ki he lototoʻa; pea ki he lototoʻa ʻae ʻilo;
6 in scientia autem abstinentiam, in abstinentia autem patientiam, in patientia autem pietatem,
Pea ki he ʻilo ʻae faʻa taʻofi; pea ki he faʻa taʻofi ʻae faʻa kātaki; pea ki he faʻa kātaki ʻae angafakaʻotua;
7 in pietate autem amorem fraternitatis, in amore autem fraternitatis charitatem.
Pea ki he angafakaʻotua ʻae angalelei fakakāinga; pea ki he angalelei fakakāinga ʻae ʻofa.
8 Haec enim si vobiscum adsint, et superent, non vacuos, nec sine fructu vos constituent in Domini nostri Iesu Christi cognitione.
He kapau ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ngaahi meʻa ni, mo tupulekina, ʻe ʻikai ai te mou fakapikopiko pe taʻefua ʻi he ʻilo ki hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
9 Cui enim non praesto sunt haec, caecus est, et manu tentans, oblivionem accipiens purgationis veterum suorum delictorum.
Ka ko ia ʻoku masiva ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni ʻoku kui ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai faʻa mamata mamaʻo atu, pea kuo ngalo ʻiate ia hono fakamaʻa mei heʻene muʻaki angahala.
10 Quapropter fratres magis satagite ut per bona opera certam vestram vocationem, et electionem faciatis: haec enim facientes, non peccabitis aliquando.
Ko ia, ʻe kāinga, ke ʻāsili ai hoʻomou fai feinga ke fakatuʻumaʻu homou ui mo homou fili: he kapau te mou fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te mou hinga:
11 Sic enim abundanter ministrabitur vobis introitus in aeternum regnum Domini nostri, et Salvatoris Iesu Christi. (aiōnios g166)
He ko ia ʻe tuku ai kiate kimoutolu ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻae hūʻanga ki he puleʻanga taʻengata ʻo hotau ʻEiki mo e Fakamoʻui ko Sisu Kalaisi. (aiōnios g166)
12 Propter quod incipiam vos semper commonere de his: et quidem scientes et confirmatos vos in praesenti veritate.
Ko ia ʻe ʻikai tuku ʻeku fakamanatuʻi maʻuaipē ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni, ka ʻoku mou ʻiloʻi ia, pea ʻoku mou tuʻumaʻu ʻi he moʻoni ni.
13 Iustum autem arbitror quamdiu sum in hoc tabernaculo, suscitare vos in commonitione:
Ka ʻoku ou pehē, ʻoku totonu, ʻi heʻeku kei ʻi he fale fehikitaki ni, ke langaki mo fakamanatuʻi ʻakimoutolu;
14 certus quod velox est depositio tabernaculi mei secundum quod et Dominus noster Iesus Christus significavit mihi.
ʻI heʻeku ʻilo, ʻe toe siʻi pea te u tukuange hoku fale fehikitaki, ʻo hangē ko e fakahā mai kiate au ʻe hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
15 Dabo autem operam et frequenter habere vos post obitum meum, ut horum omnium memoriam faciatis.
Ka te u fai tōtōaki, koeʻuhi, ka hili ʻeku mate, kemou faʻa manatu maʻuaipē ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.
16 Non enim indoctas fabulas secuti notam fecimus vobis Domini nostri Iesu Christi virtutem, et praesentiam: sed speculatores facti illius magnitudinis.
He naʻe ʻikai temau angimui ki he ngaahi talatupuʻa naʻe fakatupu ʻe he poto fakakākā, ʻi he ʻemau fakaʻilo kiate kimoutolu ʻae mālohi mo e hoko mai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ka ko e kau mamata ʻakimautolu ki hono nāunau.
17 Accipiens enim a Deo Patre honorem, et gloriam, voce delapsa ad eum huiuscemodi a magnifica gloria: Hic est Filius meus dilectus, in quo mihi complacui, ipsum audite.
He naʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae ongoongolelei mo e nāunau mei he ʻOtua ko e Tamai, ʻi he hoko mai kiate ia ʻae leʻo ko ia mei he nāunau lelei lahi ʻaupito, “Ko hoku ʻAlo ʻofaʻanga eni, ʻaia ʻoku ou fiemālie lahi ai.”
18 Et hanc vocem nos audivimus de caelo allatam, cum essemus cum ipso in monte sancto.
Pea ko e leʻo ni naʻe haʻu mei he langi naʻa mau ongoʻi, ʻi heʻemau fakataha mo ia ʻi he moʻunga tapu.
19 Et habemus firmiorem propheticum sermonem: cui benefacitis attendentes quasi lucernae lucenti in caliginoso loco donec dies elucescat, et lucifer oriatur in cordibus vestris:
Pea ʻoku tau maʻu foki ʻae lea moʻoni lahi ʻoe kikite; ʻaia ko hoʻomou fai lelei ʻa hoʻomou tokanga ki ai, ʻo hangē ha maama ʻoku ulo ʻi he potu fakapoʻuli, kaeʻoua ke mafoa ʻae ata, pea hopo hake ʻae fetuʻuʻaho ʻi homou loto:
20 hoc primum intelligentes quod omnis prophetia Scripturae propria interpretatione non fit.
ʻO tomuʻa ʻilo ʻa eni, ʻoku ʻikai ha kikite ʻi he tohitapu ʻoku tupu meiate ia pe ʻa hono ʻuhinga.
21 Non enim voluntate humana allata est aliquando prophetia: sed Spiritu sancto inspirati, locuti sunt sancti Dei homines.
He ko e kikite ʻi muʻa naʻe ʻikai tupu mei he faʻiteliha ʻae tangata: ka naʻe lea ʻae kau tangata māʻoniʻoni ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi hono ueʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
