I Peter 4

Na, kua mamae nei o te Karaiti kikokiko mo tatou, e mau koutou ki nga ea whawhai, ara ki taua whakaaro pu ra ano: ko te tangata hoki kua mamae te kikokiko kua mutu te hara;

Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

Mo te wa e toe nei o te noho ki te kikokiko kia kaua i runga i nga hiahia o te tangata, engari i ta te Atua i pai ai.

That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

Kati hoki ma tatou ko te wahi o to tatou ora kua pahemo nei, hei mahinga ma tatou i ta nga tauiwi i pai ai, i a tatou i haere i runga i te hiahia taikaha, i nga minamina, i te haurangi waina, i te kakai, i te inu, i te karakia whakarihariha ki ng a whakapakoko:

For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:

he mea hou tenei ki a ratou, ara to koutou kahore e rere tahi, e torere ki taua kino: a korero kino iho mo koutou:

Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:

Me korero ana ratou i a ratou mahi ki a ia, e noho rite nei ki te whakawa i te hunga ora, i te hunga mate.

Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.

Mo konei ra i kauwhautia ai ano te rongopai ki te hunga kua mate, kia whakahengia ratou, ara te kikokiko i runga i ta te tangata, kia ora ia ratou, ara te wairua i runga i ta te Atua.

For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

Kua tata ia te whakamutunga o nga mea katoa: na, kia whai whakaaro koutou, kia mataara, kia inoi.

But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

I te tuatahi o nga mea katoa arohaina putia koutou e koutou ano: he tini hoki nga hara ka hipokina e te aroha.

And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

Whakamanuhiritia tetahi e tetahi; kaua e amuamu.

Use hospitality one to another without grudging.

Ko te mea kua riro noa i tetahi, i tetahi, meatia atu ano e koutou ma tetahi, ma tetahi, kia rite ki ta nga tuari pai o nga homaitanga maha a te Atua.

As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

Ki te korero tetahi, kia rite tana ki ta nga kupu a te Atua; ki te minita tetahi, kia rite tana ki to te kaha e homai ana e te Atua: kia whai kororia ai te Atua i nga mea katoa i roto i a Ihu Karaiti; kei a ia te kororia me te mana ake ake. Amin e.

If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

E oku hoa aroha, kaua e kiia he hanga hou te tahunga i roto i a koutou hei whakamatautau i a koutou; ano he mea hou tenei kua pa ki a koutou:

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

Engari ka uru nei koutou ki nga mamae o te Karaiti, kia hari koutou; he mea hoki e hari ai koutou, whakamanamana rawa, a te whakakitenga mai o tona kororia.

But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

Ki te tawaia koutou mo te ingoa o te Karaiti, ka hari koutou; no te mea e tau ana te Wairua o te kororia, me te Wairua o te Atua ki runga ki a koutou.

If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

Kaua ia tetahi o koutou e whakamamaetia mo te mahi patu tangata, mo te tahae, mo te mahi i te kino, mo te pokanoa ki a era meatanga.

But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

Ki te whakamamaetia ia tetahi mo te ki he Karaitiana ia, kaua ia e whakama; engari he mea tenei e whakakororia ai ia i te Atua.

Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

Ko te wa hoki tenei e timata ai te whakawa ki te whare o te Atua: ki te mea hoki kei a tatou te tuatahi, he pehea ra te whakamutunga ki te hunga e kore e tahuri ki te rongopai o te Atua?

For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

A ki te mea ka ora noa te tangata tika, kei hea he putanga mo te tangata karakiakore, mo te tangata hara?

And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

Na, ko te hunga ano kua pai nei te Atua kia whakamamaetia ratou, me tuku e ratou o ratou wairua ki a ia, ara ki te Kaihanga pono, me te mahi ano ia i te pai.

Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
