Ioane I 5
1 O KA mea i manaoio o Iesu ka Mesia, na ke Akua ia i hoohanau mai: a o ka mea i aloha aku i ka mea nana i hoohanau mai, oia ke aloha aku i ka mea i hoohanauia mai e ia.
Whoever trusts that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the father also loves his child.
2 No ia mea, ke ike nei no kakou i ko kakou aloha ana i na keiki a ke Akua, ke aloha aku kakou i ke Akua me ka malama aku i kana mau kauoha.
How do we know that we love God's children? When we love God and follow his commands.
3 No ka mea, eia no ke aloha o ke Akua, o ka malama aku i kana mau kauoha; aole hoi he mea luhi kana mau kauoha.
Loving God means that we follow his commands, and his commands are not hard to bear.
4 No ka mea, o ka mea a ke Akua i hoohanau mai, oia ke lanakila maluna o ke ao nei; eia ka mea e lanakila ai maluna o ke ao nei, o ko kakou manaoio ana.
Everyone who is born of God defeats the world. The way we gain victory and defeat the world is by trusting God.
5 Owai la ka mea e lanakila ana maluna o ko ke ao nei, ke ole ka mea i manaoio ia Iesu oia ke keiki a ke Akua?
Who can defeat the world? Only those who trust in Jesus, believing he is the Son of God.
6 O ka mea i hiki mai ma ka wai a me ke koko, o Iesu Kristo no ia; aole ma ka wai wale no, aka, ma ka wai a me ke koko: o ka Uhane ka mea e hoike mai, a he oiaio ka Uhane.
He is the one who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ. He did not only come by water, but by water and blood. The Spirit gives evidence to confirm this, for the Spirit is the truth.
7 Ekolu mea nana e hoike mai iloko o ka lani, o ka Makua, o ka Logou, a me ka Uhane Hemolele; o keia mau mea ekolu, hookahi no ia.
So there are three that give evidence:
8 A ekolu na mea nana e hoike mai ma ka honua, o ka uhane, o ka wai, a me ke koko; o keia mau mea ekolu, ua lilo i hookahi no.
the Spirit, the water, and the blood, and all three agree as one.
9 Ina e manao kakou ua oiaio ka olelo hoike a kanaka, he oi loa aku no ka olelo hoike a ke Akua: eia no ka olelo hoike a ke Akua ana i olelo mai ai no kana Keiki.
If we accept the evidence that human witnesses provide, then the evidence that God provides is much more important. The evidence that God provides is his testimony about his Son.
10 O ka mea e manaoio ana i ke Keiki a ke Akua, aia no iloko ona ka hoike: o ka mea e manaoio ole i ke Akua, oia ke hoolilo ia ia i mea wahahee; no ka mea, aole i manaoio oia i ka olelo a ke Akua ana i olelo mai ai no kana Keiki.
Those trusting in the Son of God have accepted and hold on to this evidence. Those who don't trust God make God out to be a liar, because they don't believe the evidence God has given about his Son.
11 Eia no ka olelo; ua haawi mai ke Akua i ke ola mau loa no kakou, a o ua ola la, aia no ia iloko o kana Keiki. (aiōnios g166)
The evidence is this: God has given eternal life to us, and we have this life through his Son. (aiōnios g166)
12 O ka mea i loaa ia ia ke Keiki he ola no kona; o ka mea i loaa ole ia ia ke Keiki a ke Akua, aole ona ola.
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever doesn't have the Son of God doesn't have life.
13 Ua palapala aku au i keia mau mea ia oukou, i ka poe i manaoio i ka inoa o ke Keiki a ke Akua; i ike ai oukou, ua loaa ia oukou ke ola mau loa; a i manaoio ai oukou i ka inoa o ke Keiki a ke Akua. (aiōnios g166)
I'm writing to tell those of you who trust in the name of the Son of God so you can be certain you have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
14 Eia ka manaoio o kakou ia ia, ina e nonoi aku kakou i kahi mea e like me kona makemake, e hoolohe mai no oia ia kakou.
We can be confident that he will listen to us as long as we ask in accordance with his will.
15 Ina i ike pono kakou, ua hoolohe mai oia ia kakou, i ka mea a kakou e nonoi aku ai, ke ike nei kakou, e loaa mai ka mea a kakou i nonoi aku ai ia ia.
If we know that he hears our requests, we can be sure that we will receive what we've asked him for.
16 Ina e ike kekahi i kona hoahanau, e hana ana i ka hewa ku ole i ka make, e pule aku ia, a e haawi mai oia ia ia i ke ola no na mea e hana ana i ka hewa aole i ku i ka make. He hewa no kekahi i ku i ka make; aole au e olelo aku e pule oia no ia mea.
If you see your Christian brother or sister committing a sin that is not a deadly sin, you ought to pray and God will grant life to the one who's sinned. (But not for a deadly sin. There's a sin that is deadly, and I'm not saying people should pray about that.
17 O na mea pono ole a pau, he hewa wale no ia; aka, o kekahi hewa aole he mea ia e make ai.
Yes, all that is not right is sin, but there's sin that is not deadly.)
18 Ua ike no kakou, o ka mea i hoohanauia mai e ke Akua, aole e hana hewa ia: aka, o ka mea i hoohanauia mai e ke Akua, e malama ana oia ia ia iho, aole e hoopa ka mea hewa ia ia.
We recognize that those who are born of God don't keep on sinning. The Son of God protects them and the devil cannot harm them.
19 Ke ike nei kakou, no ke Akua kakou, a o ke ao nei a pau, ke moe nei ia iloko o ka hewa.
We know that we belong to God, and that the world is under the power of the evil one.
20 Ke ike nei kakou ua hiki mai nei ke Keiki a ke Akua, a ua haawi mai ia i ka noonoo ia kakou, i ike aku ai kakou i ka mea oiaio: a iloko o ka mea oiaio kakou, a iloko hoi o kana Keiki o Iesu Kristo. Oia no ke Akua oiaio, a me ke ola mau loa. (aiōnios g166)
We also know that the Son of God has come, and has helped us to understand so we can recognize the one who is true. We live in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God, and is eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
21 E na keiki aloha, e malama pono oukou ia oukou iho i na akua kii. Amene.
Dear friends, stay away from idol worship.
