1 Pita 3
1 Ko kimoutolu ʻae kau fefine foki, mou fakavaivai ki homou husepāniti ʻomoutolu; koeʻuhi ka ai ha niʻihi ʻe ʻikai talangofua ki he folofola, ke liliu mai ʻakinautolu foki ʻe he anga ʻoe moʻui ʻae kau fefine, ʻo taʻekau ʻae folofola;
O OUKOU hoi, e na wahine, e noho pono oukou malalo o ka oukou mau kane iho: alaila, ina malama ole kekahi o lakou i ka olelo, e hoohuliia mai lakou, me ka olelo ole aku, no ka noho maikai ana o na wahine;
2 ʻI heʻenau mamata ki hoʻomou moʻui angamaʻa [fakataha ]mo e manavahē.
I ko lakou ike ana mai ia oukou e noho maemae ana me ka makau.
3 Pea ko honau teunga ke ʻoua naʻa ʻituʻa pe, ʻi he fi ʻoe louʻulu, mo e ai ʻoe koula, mo e ai ʻoe ngaahi kofu;
A i ko oukou kahiko ana, aole o ko waha, o ka hili ana i ka lauoho, a me ke komo ana i ke gula, a me ka aahu ana i ka aahu;
4 Ka [ke teunga ]ʻae tangata fufū ʻoe loto ʻaki ʻae meʻa taʻeʻauha, ʻaia ko e loto angavaivai mo angamalū, pea ʻoku maʻongoʻonga lahi ʻaupito ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
Aka, e kahiko oukou i ke kino ike ole ia o ka naau, ma ka mea palaho ole, o ka manao akahai a me ka noho malie; oia ka waiwai nui imua o ke Akua.
5 He naʻe pehē foki ʻae teunga ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau fefine māʻoniʻoni ʻi muʻa, naʻa nau falala ki he ʻOtua, ʻo fakavaivaiʻi ʻakinautolu ki honau husepāniti ʻonautolu:
Pela i kahiko ai na wahine haipule ia lakou iho, i ka wa mamua, o ka poe i hilinai i ke Akua, e noho pono ana malalo o ka lakou mau kaue iho:
6 ʻO hangē naʻe talangofua ʻa Sela kia ʻEpalahame, ʻo ne ui ia ʻeiki: ko e fānau ʻaʻana ʻakimoutolu, lolotonga hoʻomou fai lelei, mo taʻemanavahē ʻi he manavahē kovi.
E like me Sara i hoolohe ai ia Aberahama, me ke kapa ana aku ia ia he haku; he poe kaikamahine hoi oukou nana, ke hana maikai aku oukou, me ka hoomakau ole ia mai i kekahi mea makau.
7 Ko kimoutolu foki ʻae kau tangata, ke mou nonofo mo [kinautolu ]ʻo fakatatau ki he ʻilo, ʻo fakaʻapaʻapa ki he uaifi, ʻo taau mo e ipu vaivai, pea ke hangē ko e kaunga hoko mo ia ki he ʻofa fakamoʻui; pea koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa taʻofia hoʻomou ngaahi lotu.
O oukou no hoi, e na kane, e noho pono oukou me lakou, ma ka naauao, e hoomaikai aku ana i ka wahine me he ipu palupalu la, me he mau hooilina pu la o ke ola maikai; i ole ai e nookiia ka oukou pule.
8 Pea ko hono fakaʻosi, ke mou uouangataha pe, pea femanavaʻofaʻaki kiate kimoutolu, mou ʻofa fakakāinga, mou loto ongongofua, pea angalelei:
Eia hoi ka hope, e lokahi ko oukou manao a pau, e lokomaikai kekahi i kekahi; he poe aloha hoahanau, e menemene hoi, a e akahai.
9 ʻO ʻikai totongi ʻae kovi ʻaki ʻae kovi, pe ko e lea kovi ʻaki ʻae lea kovi: kae kehe ke tāpuaki; he ʻoku mou ʻilo kuo ui ʻakimoutolu ki ai, koeʻuhi ke mou maʻu ʻae tāpuaki.
Mai hoihoi aku i ka ino no ka ino, aole hoi ke kuamuamu no ke kuamuamu; e okoa ka oukou, o ka hoomaikai aku; e ike hoi oukou, na heaia mai oukou ilaila, i hooiliia mai ia oukou ka hoomaikaiia.
10 He ko ia, “ʻOku loto ke ʻofa ki he moʻui, pea ke mamata ki he ngaahi ʻaho lelei, ke taʻofi ʻe ia hono ʻelelo mei he kovi, mo hono loungutu ke ʻoua naʻa lea ʻaki ʻae kākā:
O ka mea manao e pomaikai i kona wa e ola nei, a e ike i na la oluolu, ua oki kona alelo ke pane aku i ka hewa, a me kona lehelehe i ka olelo ana i ka apaapa;
11 Ke afe ia mei he kovi, kae fai lelei ke kumi ʻe ia ʻae melino, pea tuli ki ai.
E hoalo ae oia i ka hewa, a e hana hoi i ka mea pono; e imi i ke kuikahi, a malaila e hahai aku ai.
12 He ʻoku ʻi he kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻae fofonga ʻoe ʻEiki, pea ʻoku ongo kiate ia ʻenau ngaahi lotu: ka ʻoku houhau ʻae fofonga ʻoe ʻEiki kiate kinautolu ʻoku fai kovi.”
No ka mea, ke kau nei na maka o ke Akua, maluna o ka poe pono, a ke lohe nei kona pepeiao i ka lakou pule; aka, ua hoomaka-e ka Haku i Ka poe hana hewa.
13 Pea ko hai ia te ne fai ha kovi kiate kimoutolu, ʻo kamou ka faʻifaʻitaki kiate kinautolu ʻoku lelei?
Owai la hoi ka mea hana ino aku ia oukou, ke hahai oukou mamuli o ka mea pono?
14 Pea kapau ʻe mamahi ʻakimoutolu koeʻuhi ko e māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku mou monūʻia: pea ʻoua ʻe manavahē ki heʻenau fakamanavahē, pea ʻoua ʻe puputuʻu;
Aka, ina eha oukou no ka pono, ua pomaikai oukou. Mai makau oukou i ko lakou hooweliweli ana, aole hoi e pihoihoi;
15 Kae fakaʻapaʻapa ki he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua ʻi homou loto: pea mou nofo teu pe ke talia ʻi he angavaivai mo e manavahē ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻe ʻekea ʻakimoutolu ki hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ʻamanaki lelei ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu:
Aka, e hoano i ka Haku i ke Akua, iloko o ko oukou naau. E makaukau mau oukou e hoomaopopo aku i ka poe e ninau mai ia oukou i ke kumu o ka lana ana o ko oukou manao, me ke akahai, a me ka haahaa.
16 ʻO maʻu ʻae ʻatamai lelei; koeʻuhi, ʻi heʻenau lauʻikovi ʻakimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko e kau faikovi, ke mā ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau lohiakiʻi ʻa hoʻomou moʻui lelei ʻia Kalaisi.
E ao hoi, i hala ole ka manao; i hilahila ka poe hakuepa i ko oukou noho pono ana iloko o Kristo, no ka lakou olelo hewa ana ia oukou, me he poe hewa la.
17 He ʻoku lelei lahi, ʻo kapau ko e finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua ke pehē, ke mou mamahiʻia koeʻuhi ko e fai lelei, kaeʻoua ʻi he fai kovi
Ina manao mai ke Akua pela, e aho ko oukou eha ana no ka hana maikai ana, aole no ka hana ino ana.
18 He naʻe mamahi foki ʻo tuʻo taha pe ʻa Kalaisi koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi angahala, ko e angatonu mā ʻae taʻeangatonu, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻomi ʻakitautolu ki he ʻOtua, kuo fakapoongi ia ʻi he sino, kae fakaake ʻe he Laumālie:
No ka mea, ua make no hoi o Kristo no ka hewa, o ka mea pono no ka poe hewa, i alakai oia ia kakou i ke Akua: ua pepehiia oia ma ke kino, ua hoolaia hoi ma ka uhane;
19 ʻAia naʻe ʻalu ai ia ʻo ne malanga ki he ngaahi laumālie ʻoku ʻi he fale fakapōpula;
Pela ia i hele ai, a ao aku no hoi i na uhane e noho nei ma kahi paahao;
20 ʻAkinautolu naʻe talangataʻa ʻi muʻa ʻi he tatali mo e faʻa kātaki ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Noa, lolotonga ʻae teuteu ʻae vaka, ʻaia naʻe fakamoʻui ai ʻa e tokosiʻi i he vai, ko e toko valu pē.
I ka poe i hoomaloka mamua, i na la o Noa, i ka wa i kakali ai ko ke Akua ahonui, i ka hoomakaukau ana i ka halelana, malaila i hoolaia'i kekahi poe uuku, ma ka wai, ewalu hoi lakou.
21 Pea ko hono tatau moʻoni, ʻaia ko e papitaiso, ʻoku ne fakamoʻui eni ʻakitautolu, (ʻikai ko e siʻaki ʻoe ʻuli ʻoe kakano, ka ko e fakamoʻoni ʻoe ʻatamai lelei ki he ʻOtua, ) ʻi he toetuʻu ʻa Sisu Kalaisi:
Ma ia mea, o ka bapetizo ana, ka mea i hoailonaia, oia ka mea e hoola mai nei ia kakou, (aole nae o ka holoi ana o ka paumaele o ke kino, aka, o ka hoomaopopo ana i ka manao maikai i ke Akua, ) ma ke alahouana o Iesu Kristo:
22 ʻAia kuo ʻalu ki loto langi, pea ʻoku ne ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe ʻOtua; kuo fakamoʻulaloa kiate ia ʻae kau ʻāngelo mo e ngaahi pule mo e ngaahi mālohi.
O ka mea i hele aku i ka lani, a oia hoi ia e noho la ma ka lima akau o ke Akua; a ua hoonohoia malalo iho ona, na anela, a me na mea kiekie a me na mea mana.
