1Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect,
1Ko au Pita, ko e ʻaposetolo ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ki he kakai ʻāunofo kuo fakamovetevete ʻi Ponito, mo Kalētia, mo Kapatosia, mo ʻEsia, mo Pitinia,
2According to the foreknowledge of God the Father, unto the sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you and peace be multiplied.
2Kuo fili ʻo fakatatau ki he muʻaki ʻilo ʻoe ʻOtua ko e Tamai, ʻi he fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻoe Laumālie, ki he talangofua, pea ʻi he luluku ʻoe taʻataʻa ʻo Sisu Kalaisi: Ke tupulekina pe kiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e monūʻia.
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy hath regenerated us unto a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
3Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ko e Tamai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia kuo ne fakatupu foʻou ʻakitautolu, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene ʻaloʻofa lahi, ki he ʻamanaki moʻui ʻi he toetuʻu ʻa Sisu Kalaisi mei he pekia,
4Unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that can not fade, reserved in heaven for you,
4Ki ha tofiʻa taʻefaʻaʻauha, pea taʻeʻuli, ʻo taʻefaʻamae, ʻoku tauhiʻi ʻi he langi maʻatautolu,
5Who, by the power of God, are kept by faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.
5ʻAkitautolu ʻoku leʻohi ʻe he mālohi ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he tui ki he fakamoʻui kuo teu ke fakahā ʻi he kuonga ki mui.
6Wherein you shall greatly rejoice, if now you must be for a little time made sorrowful in divers temptations:
6ʻAia ʻoku mou fiefia lahi ai, ka ko eni ʻi he ʻaho siʻi pe, ʻi heʻene ʻaonga ke pehē, ʻoku mou māfasia ʻi he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi lahi:
7That the trial of your faith (much more precious than gold which is tried by the fire) may be found unto praise and glory and honour at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
7Koeʻuhi ʻi he ʻahiʻahi ʻa hoʻomou tui, ʻaia ʻoku mahuʻinga lahi ʻi he koula ʻoku ʻauha, ka kuo ʻahiʻahi ia ʻaki ʻae afi, ke ʻilo ia ʻoku iku ki he fakamālōʻia mo e ongoongolelei mo e nāunau ʻi he fakahā mai ʻo Sisu Kalaisi:
8Whom having not seen, you love: in whom also now, though you see him not, you believe: and believing shall rejoice with joy unspeakable and glorified;
8ʻAia ʻoku teʻeki te mou mamata, ka ʻoku mou ʻofa ki ai; pea ʻoku ʻikai pe te mou mamata ki ai, ka ʻi hoʻomou tui, ʻoku mou fiefia ʻaki ʻae fiefia taʻefaʻaʻauha pea fungani lelei:
9Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
9ʻO maʻu ʻae ngataʻanga ʻo hoʻomou tui, ko e fakamoʻui ʻo homou laumālie.
10Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and diligently searched, who prophesied of the grace to come in you.
10ʻAe fakamoʻui ko ia naʻe ʻekea mo hakule lahi ki ai ʻae kau palōfita, ʻakinautolu naʻe kikite ki he ʻaloʻofa kiate kimoutolu:
11Searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them did signify: when it foretold those sufferings that are in Christ, and the glories that should follow:
11ʻO nau kumi pe hoko fakakū, pe ko e hā ʻae anga ʻoe kuonga ko ia naʻe lea ki ai ʻae Laumālie ʻo Kalaisi, ʻaia naʻe nofoʻia ʻakinautolu, ʻi heʻene tomuʻa fakahā ʻae ngaahi mamahi ʻo Kalaisi, pea mo e lelei ʻe hoko ai.
12To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you they ministered those things which are now declared to you by them that have preached the gospel to you, the Holy Ghost being sent down from heaven, on whom the angels desire to look.
12ʻAkinautolu naʻe fakahā ki ai, naʻe ʻikai maʻanautolu, kae maʻatautolu naʻa nau tauhiʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa, ʻaia kuo fakamatala eni kiate kimoutolu ʻekinautolu kuo malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei kiate kimoutolu, ʻaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni naʻe fekau hifo mei he langi; ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku holi ke fakasio ki ai ʻae kau ʻāngelo.
13Wherefore having the loins of your mind girt up, being sober, trust perfectly in the grace which is offered you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,
13Ko ia ke nonoʻo ʻae noʻotanga vala ʻa homou loto, pea leʻo, ʻo ʻamanaki lelei ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga, ki he lelei ʻe ʻomi kiate kimoutolu ʻi he fakahā ʻo Sisu Kalaisi;
14As children of obedience, not fashioned according to the former desires of your ignorance:
14Ke mou ngali mo e fānau talangofua, ke ʻoua naʻa fakatatau ʻakimoutolu ki he ngaahi holi ʻi muʻa hoʻomou taʻeʻilo:
15But according to him that hath called you, who is holy, be you also in all manner of conversation holy:
15Kae hangē ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻaia kuo ne uiuiʻi ʻakimoutolu, ke māʻoniʻoni foki ʻakimoutolu ʻi hoʻomou moʻui kotoa pē;
16Because it is written: You shall be holy, for I am holy.
16He kuo tohi, ʻo pehē , “Mou māʻoniʻoni he ʻoku ou māʻoniʻoni.”
17And if you invoke as Father him who, without respect of persons, judgeth according to every one’s work: converse in fear during the time of your sojourning here.
17Pea kapau ʻoku mou hū ki he Tamai, ʻaia ʻoku ne fakamaau ʻo taʻefilifilimānako ki he kakai, kae fakatatau ki he ngāue ʻae tangata taki taha, mou fai ke fakaʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻomou ʻāunofo ʻi he manavahē:
18Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as gold or silver, from your vain conversation of the tradition of your fathers:
18Koeʻuhi ʻoku mou ʻilo naʻe ʻikai ke huhuʻi ʻakimoutolu mei hoʻomou moʻui taʻeʻaonga, ʻi he talatupuʻa mei hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻe ʻauha, ko e siliva mo e koula;
19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb unspotted and undefiled,
19Ka ʻi he taʻataʻa maʻongoʻonga ʻo Kalaisi, ʻo hangē ha lami taʻehanoʻila, pea taʻehanomele:
20Foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in the last times for you,
20ʻAia naʻe muʻaki tuʻutuʻuni moʻoni ʻi he teʻeki fakatupu ʻa māmani, ka naʻe fakahā ia ʻi he kuonga ki mui ni koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu,
21Who through him are faithful in God, who raised him up from the dead, and hath given him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.
21ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku tui ʻiate ia ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne fokotuʻu ia mei he pekia, mo ne hakeakiʻi ia; koeʻuhi ke ʻi he ʻOtua ʻa hoʻomou tui mo e ʻamanaki lelei.
22Purifying your souls in the obedience of charity, with a brotherly love, from a sincere heart love one another earnestly:
22Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou fakamaʻa homou laumālie, ʻi he Laumālie, ʻi hoʻomou talangofua ki he moʻoni, ki he ʻofa taʻeloi ʻoe kāinga, ke mou feʻofaʻaki ʻaki ʻae loto maʻa mo fakamātoato:
23Being born again not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, by the word of God who liveth and remaineth for ever.
23He kuo mou fanauʻi foʻou, kae ʻikai ʻaki ʻae tenga ʻe ʻauha, ka ko ia ʻe taʻefaʻaʻauha, ko e folofola ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku moʻui pea tolonga ʻo taʻengata.
24For all flesh is as grass; and all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass is withered, and the flower thereof is fallen away.
24“He ʻoku hangē ko e mohuku ʻae kakano kotoa pē, pea ko e nāunau kotoa pē ʻoe tangata ʻoku tatau mo e fisiʻi mohuku. ʻOku mae ʻae mohuku, pea ko hono fisi ʻoʻona ʻoku ngangana:
25But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel hath been preached unto you.
25Ka ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻae folofola ʻae ʻEiki.” Pea ko e folofola eni ʻaia ʻoku malangaʻaki ʻi he ongoongolelei kiate kimoutolu.
