Ioane I 4
1 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.
My loved ones, do not put your faith in every spirit, but put them to the test, to see if they are from God: because a great number of false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 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.
By this you may have knowledge of the Spirit of God: every spirit which says that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God:
3 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.
And every spirit which does not say this is not from God: this is the spirit of Antichrist, of which you have had word; and it is in the world even now.
4 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.
You are of God, my little children, and you have overcome them because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
5 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.
They are of the world, so their talk is the world's talk, and the world gives ear to them.
6 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.
We are of God: he who has the knowledge of God gives ear to us; he who is not of God does not give ear to us. By this we may see which is the true spirit, and which is the spirit of error.
7 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.
My loved ones, let us have love for one another: because love is of God, and everyone who has love is a child of God and has knowledge of God.
8 O ka mea e aloha ole ana, aole ia i ike aku i ke Akua; no ka mea, he aloha ke Akua.
He who has no love has no knowledge of God, because God is love.
9 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.
And the love of God was made clear to us when he sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him.
10 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.
And this is love, not that we had love for God, but that he had love for us, and sent his Son to be an offering for our sins.
11 E na punahele, ina pela ko ke Akua aloha ana mai ia kakou, he pono ke aloha kakou i kekahi i kekahi.
My loved ones, if God had such love for us, it is right for us to have love for one another.
12 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.
No man has ever seen God: if we have love for one another, God is in us and his love is made complete in us:
13 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.
And his Spirit which he has given us is the witness that we are in him and he is in us.
14 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.
And we have seen and give witness that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 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.
Everyone who says openly that Jesus is the Son of God, has God in him and is in God.
16 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.
And we have seen and had faith in the love which God has for us. God is love, and everyone who has love is in God, and God is in him.
17 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.
In this way love is made complete in us, so that we may be without fear on the day of judging, because as he is, so are we in this world.
18 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.
There is no fear in love: true love has no room for fear, because where fear is, there is pain; and he who is not free from fear is not complete in love.
19 Ke aloha aku nei kakou ia ia, no ka mea, ua aloha mua mai kela ia kakou.
We have the power of loving, because he first had love for us.
20 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?
If a man says, I have love for God, and has hate for his brother, his words are false: for how is the man who has no love for his brother whom he has seen, able to have love for God whom he has not seen?
21 Eia mai kana kauoha ia kakou, ina e aloha aku kekahi i ke Akua, e aloha aku no hoi oia i kona hoahanau.
And this is the word which we have from him, that he who has love for God is to have the same love for his brother.
