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.
Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many 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 know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses 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 who doesn’t confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God; and this is the spirit of the Antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.
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, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you 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. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears 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 knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn’t listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and 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.
Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows 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 doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for 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.
By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his only born Son into the world that we might live 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.
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice 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.
Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love 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 one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected 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.
By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
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.
We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as 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.
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he 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.
We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains 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, love has been made perfect amongst us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgement, because as he is, even so we are 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; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.
19 Ke aloha aku nei kakou ia ia, no ka mea, ua aloha mua mai kela ia kakou.
We love him, because he first loved 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 love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love 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.
This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
