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.

‌ʻE Kāinga ʻofeina, ʻoua naʻa tui ki he laumālie kotoa pē, kae ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae ngaahi laumālie, pe ʻoku ʻoe ʻOtua ʻakinautolu: koeʻuhi kuo tokolahi ʻae kau palōfita loi kuo ʻalu atu ki māmani.

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.

Ko e meʻa eni ʻoku mou ʻilo ai ʻae laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua: Ko e laumālie kotoa pē ʻoku fakahā kuo haʻu ʻa Sisu Kalaisi ʻi he sino, ʻoku ʻoe ʻOtua ia:

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.

Pea ko e laumālie kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai fakahā kuo haʻu ʻa Sisu Kalaisi ʻi he sino, ʻoku ʻikai ʻoe ʻOtua ia: pea ko eni ia ʻae Fili ʻo Kalaisi, ʻaia kuo mou fanongo ki ai ʻe haʻu; pea ʻoku lolotonga ni ʻene ʻi māmani.

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.

‌ʻE fānau ʻofeina, kuo ʻae ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu, pea kuo mou ikuna ʻakinautolu: he koeʻuhi ko ia ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻoku lahi ia kiate ia ʻoku ʻi māmani.

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.

‌ʻOku ʻoe māmani ʻakinautolu: ko ia ʻoku nau lea ai ki māmani, pea fanongo ʻa māmani kiate kinautolu.

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.

‌ʻOku ʻoe ʻOtua ʻakimautolu: ko ia ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae ʻOtua, ʻe fanongo ia kiate kimautolu; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻikai fanongo ia kiate kimautolu. Ko e meʻa eni ʻoku tau ʻilo ai ʻae laumālie ʻoe moʻoni, mo e laumālie ʻoe hē.

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.

‌ʻE kāinga ʻofeina, ke tau feʻofaʻaki kiate kitautolu: he ʻoku mei he ʻOtua ʻae ʻofa; pea ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻofa, kuo fanauʻi ia ʻi he ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae ʻOtua.

8 O ka mea e aloha ole ana, aole ia i ike aku i ke Akua; no ka mea, he aloha ke Akua.

Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻofa, ʻoku ʻikai ʻiloʻi ʻe ia ʻae ʻOtua; he ko e ʻOtua ko e ʻofa.

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.

Ko eni ia naʻe fakahā ai ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua kiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi naʻe fekau ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa hono ʻAlo pe taha naʻe fakatupu ki he māmani, koeʻuhi ketau moʻui ʻiate ia.

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.

Ko eni ʻae ʻofa, naʻe ʻikai ko ʻetau ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ka ko ʻene ʻofa kiate kitautolu, ʻo ne fekau hono ʻAlo ko e feilaulau totongi ʻi heʻetau angahala.

11 E na punahele, ina pela ko ke Akua aloha ana mai ia kakou, he pono ke aloha kakou i kekahi i kekahi.

‌ʻE kāinga ʻofeina, kapau naʻe pehē ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua kiate kitautolu, ʻoku totonu foki ʻetau feʻofaʻaki.

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.

Kuo ʻikai ha taha ʻe mamata ki he ʻOtua ʻi ha kuonga. Kapau ʻoku tau feʻofaʻaki, ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakitautolu ʻe he ʻOtua, pea kuo fakahaohaoaʻi ʻene ʻofa ʻiate kitautolu.

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.

Ko eni ʻae meʻa ʻoku tau ʻilo ai ʻoku tau nofo ʻiate ia, pea mo ia ʻiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi kuo ne foaki kiate kitautolu ʻa hono Laumālie.

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.

Pea kuo mau mamata, mo fakahā, kuo fekau ʻe he Tamai ʻae ʻAlo ko e Fakamoʻui ki he māmani.

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.

Ko ia ia te ne fakahā ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua ʻa Sisu, ʻoku nofo ʻae ʻOtua ʻiate ia, pea mo ia ʻi he ʻOtua.

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.

Pea kuo tau ʻiloʻi mo tui ki he ʻofa kuo ʻi he ʻOtua kiate kitautolu. Ko e ʻOtua ko e ʻofa; pea ko ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he ʻofa, ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he ʻOtua, mo e ʻOtua ʻiate ia.

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.

‌ʻI he meʻa ni ʻoku fakahaohaoa ʻae ʻofa ʻiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi ke tau loto mālohi ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe fakamaau: koeʻuhi ʻoku tau hangē ko ia ʻi he māmani.

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.

‌ʻOku ʻikai ha manavahē ʻi he ʻofa; ka ʻoku tekeʻi atu ʻae manavahē ʻe he ʻofa haohaoa: he ʻoku ʻi he manavahē ʻae mamahi. Ko ia ia ʻoku manavahē, ʻoku teʻeki ke fakahaohaoa ia ʻi he ʻofa.

19 Ke aloha aku nei kakou ia ia, no ka mea, ua aloha mua mai kela ia kakou.

‌ʻOku tau ʻofa kiate ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻene tomuʻa ʻofa mai kiate kitautolu.

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?

Kapau ʻe pehē ʻe ha taha, ʻOku ou ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ka ʻoku fehiʻa ki hono tokoua, ko e loi ia: he ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻofa ki hono tokoua kuo ne mamata ki ai, ʻe fēfē ʻene ʻofa ki he ʻOtua naʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ki ai?

21 Eia mai kana kauoha ia kakou, ina e aloha aku kekahi i ke Akua, e aloha aku no hoi oia i kona hoahanau.

Pea ko e fekau ni ʻoku tau maʻu meiate ia, Ko ia ia ʻoku ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ke ʻofa foki ia ki hono tokoua.
