Ioane I 3
1 EIA hoi, manomano ke aloha a ka Makua i haawi mai ai ia kakou, i kapaia mai ai kakou he poe keiki na ke Akua; no ia mea, aole i ike mai ko ke ao nei ia kakou, no ka mea, aole lakou i ike ia ia.
See how great a sincere love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God! Because the world didn’t know Him, it doesn’t know us.
2 E na punahele, ano la, he poe keiki kakou na ke Akua, aka, o ko kakou ano mahope aku, aole ikea ia; aka, ke ike nei kakou, a i kona wa e ikea mai ai, e like auanei kakou me ia: no ka mea, e ike kakou ia ia ma kona ano maoli.
Beloved, now we are children of God, and it hasn’t yet appeared what we will be. We know that when He appears we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.
3 O ka mea i loaa ia ia keia manaolana ma ona la, oia ke hoomaemae ia ia iho e like me ko ia la maemae ana.
Everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
4 O ka mea e hana aku ana i ka hewa, oia ka mea e haihai ana i ke kanawai; a o ka hewa, oia no ke ku e ana i ke kanawai.
Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
5 Ua ike no oukou, ua hoikea mai oia, i lawe ae ia i ko kakou hewa: aole hewa iloko ona.
You know that He appeared to take away sins. There is no sin in Him.
6 O ka mea e noho ana iloko ona, aole ia e hana hewa. O ka mea e hana i ka hewa, aole ia i nana ae ia ia, aole no hoi i ike ia ia.
No one who lives in Him sins. No one who sins has seen Him or knows Him.
7 E na pokii, e malama i hoopunipuni ole kekahi ia oukou: o ka mea i hana i ka pono, oia ka i pono, e like me ko ia la pono ana.
Little children, don’t let anybody deceive you. The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.
8 O ka mea e hana ana i ka hewa, no ka diabolo no ia; no ka mea, ua hana hewa mau ka diabolo, mai kinohi mai. No ia mea, ua hoikea mai ke Keiki a ke Akua, i hokae aku ai oia i ka ka diabolo hana ana.
The one who practices sin is the Devil’s, because the Devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, that He might destroy the works of the Devil.
9 O ka mea i hoohanauia mai e ke Akua, aole ia e hana hewa; no ka mea, ke noho mau nei kona hua iloko ona; aole e hiki ia ia ke hana hewa aku, no ka mea, ua hoohanauia mai no ia e ke Akua.
No one who is born of God practices sin, because God’s seed lives in him. He can’t continue to sin, because he is born of God.
10 Malaila no i maopopo ai nakeiki a ke Akua, a me ka poe keiki na ka diabolo. O ka mea hana ole ma ka pono, aole ia na ke Akua, aole hoi ka mea aloha ole i kona hoahanau.
By this the children of God and the children of the Devil are obvious: anyone who doesn’t practice righteousness is not God’s, and neither is anyone who doesn’t sincerely love his brother or sister.
11 No ka mea, eia no ka olelo a oukou i lohe ai mai kinohi mai, e aloha aku kakou i kekahi i kekahi.
For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should sincerely love one another.
12 Aole like me Kaina, na ka mea ino no oia, a pepehi iho la ia i kona kaikaina a make. No ke aha la kela i pepehi ai ia ia? no ka mea, ua hewa kana hana iho, a na pono hoi ka kona kaikaina.
Don’t be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because Cain’s deeds were evil, and his brother’s were righteous.
13 Mai kahaha oukou, e na hoahanau o'u, ke hoomaau mai ko ke ao nei ia oukou.
Don’t be surprised, brothers and sisters, if the world hates you.
14 Ke ike nei kakou, ua lilo ae kakou mai ka make ae i ke ola, no ka mea, ke aloha aku nei kakou i na hoahanau, O ka mea e aloha ole ana i kona hoahauau, ke noho nei oia ma ka make.
We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we sincerely love our brothers and sisters. Whoever doesn’t sincerely love lives in death.
15 O ka mea e hoomaau ana i kona hoahanau, he mea pepehi kanaka ia: ua ike no oukou o ka mea pepehi kanaka, aole ke ola mau loa e noho ana iloko ona. (aiōnios g166)
Whoever hates his brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life living in him. (aiōnios g166)
16 No ia mea, ua ike kakou i ke aloha, no ka mea, ua waiho iho la oia i kona ola no kakou; a he mea pono no hoi ia kakou, ke waiho ae i ko kakou ola no ka poe hoahanau.
By this we know God’s sincere love, because He laid down His life for us. So we also ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
17 O ka mea i loaa ia ia ka waiwai o keia ao, a ike ae la i ka nele o kona hoahanau, a papani ae i kona naau ia ia, pehea la ke aloha o ke Akua e noho ai iloko ona?
If someone has this world’s goods, and sees a brother in need, and closes up his heart of compassion from him, how does God’s sincere love live in him?
18 E na pokii o'u, mai aloha kakou ma ka waha, aole hoi ma ke alelo wale no; aka, ma ka hana ana a me ka oiaio.
My little children, let’s not sincerely love just in words or in language, but in deed and in truth.
19 Ma keia mea e ike ai kakou, no ka oiaio kakou, a e hooiaio aku kakou i ko kakou mau naau imua ona.
This is how we will know that we belong to the truth, and how we will assure our hearts before Him
20 No ka mea, ina e hoohewa mai ko kakou naau ia kakou iho, ua oi aku ke Akua i ko kakou naau, a ua ike oia i na mea a pau.
whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.
21 E na punahele, ina e hoohewa ole mai ko kakou naau ia kakou iho, alaila ua loaa ia kakou ka wiwo ole imua o ke Akua.
Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have confidence before God;
22 O ka mea a kakou e noi aku ai, e loaa no ia kakou nona mai, no ka mea, ke malama nei kakou i kana mau kauoha, a ke hana nei no hoi kakou imua ona i kona mea e makemake ai.
and we receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep His commandments and do the things that please Him.
23 Eia no kana kauoha mai, e manaoio aku kakou i ka inoa o kana Keiki o Iesu Kristo, a e aloha kekahi i kekahi, e like me ke kauoha ana i haawi mai ai ia kakou.
This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and that we sincerely love one another, just as He commanded us.
24 O ka mea e malama aku ana i kana mau kauoha, ua noho no ia iloko ona; a ua noho mai no hoi kela iloko ona. Nolaila hoi ke ike nei kakou, ke noho mai nei oia iloko o kakou, ma ka Uhane ana i haawi mai ai no kakou.
Whoever keeps His commandments lives in Him, and He lives in that person. This is how we know that He lives in us: by the Spirit He has given us.
