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 what kind of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God; and we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know him.
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 is not yet revealed what we will be. We know that, when he is revealed, we will be like him; for 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 set on him purifies himself, even 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 sins also commits 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 was revealed to take away sins, and in him is no sin.
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.
Whoever remains in him does not sin. Whoever sins hasn't seen him, neither 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.
Children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even 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.
He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, to 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.
Whoever is born of God does not commit sin, because his seed remains in him; and he cannot 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.
In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever does not do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who does not love his brother.
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 which you heard from the beginning, that we should 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.
unlike Cain, who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
13 Mai kahaha oukou, e na hoahanau o'u, ke hoomaau mai ko ke ao nei ia oukou.
Therefore do not be surprised, brothers, 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 love the brothers. He who does not love remains 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 is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has everlasting life remaining 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 love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
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?
But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and closes his heart of compassion against him, how does the love of God remain 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.
Little children, let us not love in word only, neither with the tongue only, but in deed and 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.
And by this we will know that we are of the truth, and persuade our heart 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.
because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and 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 do not 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 whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
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 should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even 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.
He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
