< 1 John 4 >

1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit. Instead, test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
E NA punahele, mai manaoio aku oukou i na uhane a pau, aka, e hoao aku i na uhane, no ke Akua mai paha, aole paha: no ka mea, ua nui no na kaula wahahee i hele aku iwaena o ke ao nei.
2 By this you will know the Spirit of God—every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
Penei oukou e ike ai i ka Uhane o ke Akua: O kela uhane o keia uhane e hooiaio aku ana, ua hiki mai nei o Iesu Kristo ma ke kino, no ke Akua ia.
3 and every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and now is already in the world.
O kela uhane o keia uhane e hooiaio ole ana, ua hiki mai o Iesu Kristo ma ke kino, aole no ke Akua kela: a o ko Anikristo keia a oukou i lohe ai e hele mai ana; a eia mai nei iloko o ke ao nei i keia manawa.
4 You are from God, dear children, and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
No ke Akua oukou, e na pokii, a ua lanakila oukou maluna o lakou; no ka mea, ua oi aku ka mea iloko o oukou i ka mea iloko o ke ao nei.
5 They are from the world; therefore what they say is from the world, and the world listens to them.
No ke ao nei lakou; nolaila i olelo ai lakou i na mea o ke ao nei, ke lohe nei hoi ko ke ao nei ia lakou.
6 We are from God. Anyone who knows God listens to us. He who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
No ke Akua kakou; o ka mea i ike i ke Akua, oia ke lohe mai ia makou; o ka mea, aole no ke Akua, aole ia i lohe mai ia makou. Ma ia mea, ua ike no kakou i ka Uhane o ka oiaio, a me ka uhane o ka wahahee.
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and everyone who loves is born from God and knows God.
E na punahele, e aloha kakou i kekahi i kekahi: no ka mea, no ke Akua mai ke aloha; o ka mea e aloha aku ana ua hoohanauia mai ia e ke Akua, a ua ike no oia i ke Akua.
8 The person who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
O ka mea e aloha ole ana, aole ia i ike aku i ke Akua; no ka mea, he aloha ke Akua.
9 Because of this the love of God was revealed among us, that God has sent his only Son into the world so that we would live because of him.
Ma ia mea, ua hoikeia mai ke aloha o ke Akua ia kakou, no ka mea, hoouna mai la ke Akua i kana Keiki hanaukahi i ke ao nei, i ola'i kakou ia ia.
10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and that he sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Eia no ke aloha, aole nae kakou i aloha aku i ke Akua, aka, ua aloha mai kela ia kakou nei, a ua hoouna mai hoi oia i kana Keiki i kalahala no ko kakou hewa.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also should love one another.
E na punahele, ina pela ko ke Akua aloha ana mai ia kakou, he pono ke aloha kakou i kekahi i kekahi.
12 No one has ever seen God. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love is perfected in us.
Aole i ike aku kekahi i ke Akua; aka, ina e aloha aku kakou i kekahi i kekahi, ke noho mai nei no ke Akua iloko o kakou, a ua paa no hoi kona aloha iloko o kakou.
13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us some of his Spirit.
No ia mea, ke ike nei kakou, ua noho kakou iloko ona, a oia hoi iloko o kakou, no ka mea, ua haawi mai oia i kona Uhane no kakou.
14 Also, we have seen and have borne witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
A ua ike kakou a ke hoike aku nei no hoi, ua hoouna mai ka Makua i ke Keiki i mea e ola'i ko ke ao nei.
15 Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him and he in God.
O ka mea e hooiaio ana ia Iesu o ke Keiki ia a ke Akua, ke noho nei ke Akua iloko ona, a oia no hoi iloko o ke Akua.
16 Also, we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and the one who remains in this love remains in God, and God remains in him.
A ua ike kakou, a ua manaoio no hoi i ke aloha ana mai o ke Akua ia kakou. He aloha ke Akua; a o ka mea e noho ana iloko o ke aloha, ke noho nei oia iloko o ke Akua, a o ke Akua no hoi iloko ona.
17 Because of this, this love has been made perfect among us, so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because as he is, just so are we in this world.
No ia mea, ua paa ke aloha ia kakou, i wiwo ole kakou i ka la e hookolokolo ai; no ka mea, e like me ia ma keia ao, pela no kakou.
18 There is no fear in love. Instead, perfect love throws out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. But the one who fears has not been made perfect in love.
Aohe makau iloko o ke aloha; aka, e kipaku ana ke aloha oiaio i ka makau; no ka mea, he ehaeha ko ka makau: o ka mea makau, aole i hemolele ke aloha iloko ona.
19 We love because God first loved us.
Ke aloha aku nei kakou ia ia, no ka mea, ua aloha mua mai kela ia kakou.
20 If anyone says, “I love God” but hates his brother, he is a liar. For the one who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
Ina e olelo aku kekahi, Ke aloha aku nei au i ke Akua, a e hoomaau aku nae ia i kona hoahanau, he mea wahahee ia: no ka mea, o ka mea aloha ole i kona hoahanau ana i ike maka ai, pehea la e hiki ai ia ia ke aloha aku i ke Akua ana i ike maka ole ai?
21 Also, this is the commandment we have from him: Whoever loves God must also love his own brother.
Eia mai kana kauoha ia kakou, ina e aloha aku kekahi i ke Akua, e aloha aku no hoi oia i kona hoahanau.
