King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
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,
2Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through 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, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again 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,
4To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
4Ki ha tofiʻa taʻefaʻaʻauha, pea taʻeʻuli, ʻo taʻefaʻamae, ʻoku tauhiʻi ʻi he langi maʻatautolu,
5Who are kept by the power of God through 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 ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold 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, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory 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, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
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 enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto 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 which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory 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.
12Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
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 gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at 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 obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
14Ke mou ngali mo e fānau talangofua, ke ʻoua naʻa fakatatau ʻakimoutolu ki he ngaahi holi ʻi muʻa hoʻomou taʻeʻilo:
15But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
15Kae hangē ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻaia kuo ne uiuiʻi ʻakimoutolu, ke māʻoniʻoni foki ʻakimoutolu ʻi hoʻomou moʻui kotoa pē;
16Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
16He kuo tohi, ʻo pehē , “Mou māʻoniʻoni he ʻoku ou māʻoniʻoni.”
17And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
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:
18Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from 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 without blemish and without spot:
19Ka ʻi he taʻataʻa maʻongoʻonga ʻo Kalaisi, ʻo hangē ha lami taʻehanoʻila, pea taʻehanomele:
20Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these 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 by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave 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.
22Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
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 of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth 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 of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth 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 is 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.
