I Peter 1

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

Na Pita, he apotoro na Ihu Karaiti, ki te hunga whiriwhiri e noho manene ana i Ponoto, i Karatia, i Kaporokia, i Ahia, i Pitinia,

Elect 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.

He hunga kua oti te whiriwhiri, te pera ano me ta te Atua Matua i matau ai i mua, i runga i te whakatapunga a te Wairua, kia ngohengohe, kia tauhiuhia ki nga toto o Ihu Karaiti: Kia whakanuia ki a koutou te aroha noa, me te rangimarie.

Blessed 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,

Kia whakapaingia te Atua, te Matua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, nana nei, na tana mahi tohu e nui nei, tatou i whanau hou ai ki te tumanako ora, i a Ihu Karaiti ka ara ake nei i te hunga mate,

To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

Ki te kainga kahore ona pirau, kahore ona poke, e kore ano hoki e memeha, e puritia mai nei i te rangi mo koutou,

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Mo te hunga e tiakina nei e te kaha o te Atua i runga i te whakapono, kia taea ra ano te whakaoranga kua rite noa ake nei, a ka whakakitea mai a te wa whakamutunga.

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

Nui atu to koutou koa ki tenei, ahakoa pouri mo te wa iti nei, kite ai he pouri, i nga whakamatautauranga maha:

That 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:

Na, ko te whakamatautauranga o to koutou whakapono, nui atu tona pai i to te koura e memeha nei, ae ra i te mea kua oti te whakamatautau ki te kapura, a ka kitea tona tukunga iho, he whakamoemiti, he honore, he kororia, a te whakakitenga mai o Ih u Karaiti,

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

Kahore nei ia e kitea e koutou, heoi arohaina ana e koutou; ahakoa kahore koutou e kite inaianei, heoi i a koutou ka whakapono nei ki a ia, nui atu te koa, he koa kororia, e kore e taea te korero:

Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

I te mea ka whiwhi ki te tukunga iho o to koutou whakapono, ki te whakaoranga o o koutou wairua.

Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:

Ko taua whakaora, he mea ata rapu he mea whakataki iho na nga poropiti i poropititia ai te aroha noa, ara tenei i a koutou nei:

Searching 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.

I a ratou i rapu ai ko tehea wa, he wa pehea hoki, ta te Wairua o te Karaiti i roto i a ratou i whakapuaki ai, i a ia e whakaatu ana i mua i nga mamae o te Karaiti, i te kororia ano hoki o muri iho.

Unto 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.

I whakakitea mai nei ano ki a ratou, ehara i te mea mo ratou ake, engari mo tatou, nga mea i minitatia ra e ratou, kua korerotia nei hoki ki a koutou inaianei e te hunga i kauwhautia ai te rongopai ki a koutou, he meatanga na te Wairua Tapu i to noa mai nei i te rangi. Hiahia tonu nga anahera ki te matakitaki ki aua mea.

Wherefore 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;

Heoi whitikiria nga hope o o koutou hinengaro, kia mataara, tumanako atu, a taea noatia te mutunga, ki te aroha noa e kawea mai ki a koutou a te whakakitenga mai o Ihu Karaiti.

As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

Kia rite ki nga tamariki ngohengohe; kei rite te ahua ki nga hiahia taikaha o mua i a koutou e kuware ana:

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

Engari kia rite ki te kaikaranga i a koutou, he tapu hoki ia; kia tapu ano hoki ta koutou whakahaere katoa;

Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Kua tuhituhia na hoki, Kia tapu koutou; he tapu hoki ahau.

And 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:

Na, ki te karanga koutou ki te Matua, ko ia nei hei whakawa mo te mahi a tenei, a tenei, kahore ano hoki ana whakapai kanohi, e noho i runga i te mataku i a koutou e noho manene nei:

Forasmuch 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;

Kia mahara ehara nga mea pirau, te hiriwa, te koura, i te utu mo koutou, i puta mai ai i a koutou ritenga tekateka i whakarerea mai e o koutou matua;

But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

Engari he toto utu nui me te mea no te reme kohakore, pokekore, ara no te Karaiti.

Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

I whakaritea nei i mua o te orokohanganga o te ao, a kua whakakitea mai nei i te mutunga o nga wa, he whakaaro hoki ki a koutou,

Who 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.

Kua meinga nei e ia kia whakapono ki te Atua, nana nei ia i whakaara ake i te mate, a hoatu ana ki a ia he kororia; kia whai whakapono ai koutou, kia whai tumanakotanga atu ai ki te Atua.

Seeing 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:

Kua horoia nei e koutou o koutou wairua, i a koutou kua meinga nei e te Wairua kia ngohengohe ki te pono, e kore iho ai he tinihanga o te aroha ki nga teina, na, kia nui te aroha o tetahi ki tetahi, he aroha a ngakau:

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

He mea whanau hou hoki koutou, ehara i te mea no te purapura pirau, engari no te mea piraukore, na te kupu a te Atua, e ora nei, e u tonu nei, ake ake.

For 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:

Rite tonu hoki ki te tarutaru nga kikokiko katoa; ko te kororia katoa ano hoki o te tangata, ano he puawai tarutaru. E maroke te tarutaru, e ngahoro tona puawai:

But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Ko te kupu ia a te Ariki, mau tonu ake ake. Ko te kupu ano tenei o te rongopai e kauwhautia atu nei ki a koutou.
