I Peter 2

Na, whakarerea atu nga mauahara katoa, nga hianga katoa, nga tinihanga, nga hae, me nga kupu ngautuara katoa,

Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,

Kia rite ki nga tamariki whanau hou, hiahiatia atu te waiu kore tinihanga o te kupu, ko te mea hoki ia e tupu ai koutou ki te ora tonu:

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

Ki te mea kua whakamatautau koutou he tikanga ngawari ta te Ariki.

If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

Ko to koutou haerenga mai ki a ia ki te kohatu ora, i whakakahoretia nei e nga tangata, he mea whiriwhiri ia na te Atua, he mea utu nui;

To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

Ka hanga hoki koutou, ano he kohatu ora hei whare, ara hei mea wairua, hei tohungatanga tapu, hei tapae atu i nga patunga tapu, ara i nga mea wairua, he mea e manakohia ana e te Atua i runga i a Ihu Karaiti.

Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Mo reira tera wahi o te karaipiture, Na, ka whakatakotoria e ahau ki Hiona te tino kamaka o te kokonga, he mea whiriwhiri, he mea utu nui, a, ko te tangata e whakapono ana ki a ia e kore e tukua kia whakama.

Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

Ki a koutou e whakapono na he mea utu nui ia: ki te hunga whakaponokore ia, ko te kamaka i kapea e nga kaihanga, kua meinga tenei hei upoko mo te kokonga,

Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

Hei kamaka tutukitanga waewae ia, hei toka whakahinga; ki te hunga e tutuki ana ki te kupu, ki te hunga whakaponokore: i whakaritea mai hoki ratou hei penei.

And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

Ko koutou ia he iwi whiriwhiri, he tohungatanga kingi, he iwi tapu, he iwi kua riro pu mai ma te Atua; hei whakapuaki i nga pai o te kaikaranga i a koutou i roto i te pouri ki tona marama whakamiharo:

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

I mua ehara i te iwi, inaianei ia he iwi na te Atua: kihai nei i tohungia i mua, inaianei ia ka tohungia.

Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

E oku hoa aroha, ko taku whakahau atu tenei, he hunga noho noa, he manene hoki koutou, kia mawehe i nga hiahia kikokiko e whawhai nei ki te wairua;

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

Kia pai ta koutou whakahaere i roto i nga tauiwi, mo ta ratou whakapae ki a koutou, he kaimahi koutou i te kino, na kia whakakororia ratou i te Atua a te ra o te tirohanga mai, ina kite i a koutou mahi pai.

Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

Kia ngohengohe koutou ki nga tikanga katoa a te tangata, he whakaaro ki te Ariki: ahakoa ki te kingi, ki te mea nui rawa;

Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

Ki nga kawana ranei, ki te hunga i tonoa mai e ia hei whiu i nga kaimahi i te kino, hei whakamoemiti ia mo te hunga e mahi ana i te pai.

Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

Ko ta te Atua hoki tenei i pai ai, kia ai a koutou mahi pai hei puru mo nga mangai kuware o nga tangata whakaarokore:

For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

He hunga ehara nei i te herehere, otiia e kore e waiho to koutou herekoretanga hei hipoki mo te mauahara, engari kia rite ki nga pononga a te Atua.

As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

Whakahonoretia nga tangata katoa. Arohaina nga teina, nga tuakana. E wehi ki te Atua. Whakahonoretia te kingi.

Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

E nga pononga, kia ngohengohe ki o koutou rangatira, kia nui te wehi; he teka ki te hunga pai, ki te hunga ngawari anake, ki te hunga whanoke ano hoki.

Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

He mea whai whakapainga hoki tenei, ki te mea na te mahara ki te Atua ka whakamanawanui ai tetahi ki nga mea whakapouri, i a ia e whakamamaetia hetia ana.

For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

He aha hoki te kororia, ki te mea ka whakamanawanui, i te mea kua hara koutou a ka motokia? tena ka whakamanawanui, i te mea ka mahi pai a ka whakamamaetia, he mea whai whakapainga tenei ki te Atua.

For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

No te mea i karangatia koutou ki tenei: i whakamamaetia hoki a te Karaiti mo koutou, waiho iho ana e ia he tauria mo koutou, kia aru ai koutou i ona tapuwae:

For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

Kihai nei ia i mea i te hara, kahore ano hoki i kitea te tinihanga i tona mangai:

Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

Ka taunutia, kihai ia i taunu atu; ka whakamamaetia, kihai ia i whakatuma; engari i tuku i a ia ki te kaiwhakawa tika:

Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

Nana ake i waha o tatou hara, na tona tinana ake, i runga i te rakau, kia whakatupapaku ai tatou ki te hara, kia ora ai ki te tika: na ona karawarawa i ora ai o koutou mate.

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

I rite hoki koutou ki te hipi kua kotiti ke; heoi kua hoki tenei koutou ki te Hepara, ki te Pihopa, o o koutou wairua.

For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
