3 John 1
1 The elder to beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
NA ka Lunakahiko ia Gaio ka punahele, i ka'u mea i aloha ai ma ka oiaio.
2 Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be healthy, just as it is well with your soul.
E ka punahele, ua nui aku no ko'u makemake e pomaikai oe a ikaik a hoi ma ke kino, e like me ka pomaikai ana o kou uhane.
3 For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and bore witness to your truth, just as you walk in truth.
Ua hauoli nui no wau i ka wa i hiki mai ai o ka poe hoahanau, a hoike mai i ka oiaio ou, me kou hele ana ma ka oiaio.
4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children walk in the truth.
Aole o'u olioli nui e aku i keia, o ka lohe ana i ka hele ana o ka'u mau keiki ma ka oiaio.
5 Beloved, you practice faithfulness whenever you work for the brothers and for strangers
E ka punahele, ua hana pono oe ma na mea au i hana aku ai i ka poe hoahauau, a me ka poe malihini hoi.
6 who have borne witness of your love in the presence of the church. You do well to send them off on their journey in a manner worthy of God,
Ua hoike mai lakou i kou aloha imua o ka ekalesia; a ina e kai mai oe ia lakou e like me ka ke Akua, alaila e pono kau hana ana.
7 because it was for the sake of the name that they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
No ka mea, ua hele aku lakou no kona inoa, aole lakou i lawe i kekahi mea no ko na aina e mai.
8 We therefore should welcome such as these, so that we will be fellow workers for the truth.
No ia hoi, he mea pono ia kakou ke hookipa i ua poe la, i lilo kakou i poe hoalawehana ma ka oiaio.
9 I wrote something to the congregation, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not receive us.
Ua palapala aku au na ka poe ekalesia; aka, ua hooalii ae la o Dioterepe maluna o lakou, aole oia i hookipa mai ia makou.
10 So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. Not satisfied with that, he not only refused to welcome the brothers himself, but he also stops those who want to welcome them and puts them out of the church.
No ia hoi, i ko'u hele ana aku e hoomanao wau i ka hana ana i hana'i, ua hoohuahualau mai ia ia makou me kana olelo inoino: aole hoi ia i hoomaha ia mau mea, aole oia i hookipa i ka poe hoahanau, a o ka poe i makemake aku, ua hooleia mai e ia, a kipaku aku no hoi oia ia lakou mawaho o ka ekalesia.
11 Beloved, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.
E ka punahele, mai hoomahui oe i ka hewa, aka, i ka maikai no. O ka mea hana maikai, no ke Akua no ia; o ka mea e hana ino, aole oia i ike i ke Akua.
12 Demetrius is borne witness to by all and by the truth itself. We also bear witness, and you know that our testimony is true.
Ua hoike mai lakou a pau i ko Demeterio pono, a me ka oiaio; a ke hoike aku nei makou; ua ike pono no hoi oukou, he oiaio no ka makou olelo.
13 I had many things to write to you, but I do not wish to write them to you with pen and ink.
Ua nui ka'u mau mea e palapala aku ai ia oe, aka, aole au makemake e palapala aku me ka inika a me ka peni:
14 But I expect to see you soon, and we will speak face to face. May peace be with you. The friends greet you. Greet our friends there by name.
He manaolana ko'u e ike koke ia oe, a e kamailio pu he waha no he waha. Aloha oe. Ke uwe aku nei ka poe makamaka ia oe; e uwe aku oe ma ka inoa i ka poe hoalauna.
