Tesalonike I 4
1 EIA hou neia, e na hoahanau, ke nonoi aku nei makou me ka hooikaika aku ia oukou ma o Iesu Kristo la, e like me ka pono a oukou i lohe mai ai ia makou e hele ai oukou, a e hooluolu ai i ke Akua, pela hoi oukou e hoomahuahua mau aku ai.
Finally then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to live and to please God, even as you are living, that you excel more and more.
2 Ua ike hoi oukou i na kauoha a makou i haawi aku ai ia oukou ma ka Haku, ma o Iesu la.
For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
3 Eia hoi ka makemake o ke Akua, o ko oukou maemae ana, i haalele loa oukou i ka moe kolohe;
For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,
4 I ike hoi oukou a pau i ka malama i kana ipu ae, a i kana ipu ae, me ka maemae a me ka maikai.
that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,
5 Aole ma ke kuko ino wale, e like me na lahuikanaka, ka poe ike ole i ke Akua,
not in the passion of lust, even as the nations who do not know God;
6 Aole make hoopoho kekahi, aole ka hoomake hewa i ka kona hoahanau i kekahi mea; no ka mea, o ka Haku ka mea nana ia poe e hoopai mai, oia ka makou i hai mua aku ai me ka hoike e aku ia oukou.
that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.
7 Aole ke Akua i hea mai ia kakou no ka haumia, aka, no ka hemolele no.
For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.
8 O ka mea hoi i hoowahawaha mai, aole ia i hoowahawaha i ke kanaka, i ke Akua no nana i haawi mai i kona Uhane Hemolele ia makou.
Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.
9 A o ke aloha hoahanau hoi, aole o oukou hemahema e pono ai au ke palapala aku ia oukou; no ka mea, ua aoia mai oukou e ke Akua e aloha i kekahi i kekahi
But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,
10 Oia hoi, o ka oukou ia e hana'i i na hoahanau a pau ma Makedonia a puni; a, ke nonoi aku nei makou ia oukou, e na hoahanau, e hoomahuahua nui ae oukou.
for indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more;
11 A e imi oukou e noho malie me ka hana aku i ka oukou hana iho, a, me ko oukou mau lima iho e hana'i, e like me ka makou kauoha ana'ku ia oukou;
and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you;
12 I pono ka oukou hele ana imua o ka poe o waho, a i nele ole hoi oukou i kekahi mea.
that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.
13 Aole hoi au i makemake, e na hoahanau, e naaupo oukou no ka poe i hiamoe, i ole ai oukou e kumakena, e like me ka poe manaolana ole.
But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you do not grieve like the rest, who have no hope.
14 No ka mea, ina i manaoio kakou, na make aku la o Iesu, a ua ala hou mai, pela no hoi ke Akua e lawe pu mai ai me ia i ka poe e hiamoe aua iloko o Iesu.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
15 Eia ka makou e olelo aku nei ia oukou ma ka olelo a ka Haku, o kakou ka poe e ola ana i ka hiki ana mai o ka Haku, aole kakou e hiki e aku mamua o ka poe e hiamoe ana.
For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left to the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep.
16 No ka mea, e iho io mai no ka Haku mai ka lani mai, me ka hooho, a me ka leo o ka luna auela, a me ka pu a ke Akua; a o ka poe make iloko o Kristo ke ala e mai.
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God's trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first,
17 Alaila e kaili pu ia'ku kakou ka poe i koe e ola okoa ana, me lakou, iloko o na ao kaalelewa e halawai pu me ka Haku, i ka lewa; oia hoi, e mau loa ana ko kakou noho ana me ka Haku.
then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.
18 Nolaila hoi e hooluolu oukou i kekahi i kekahi ma keia mau huaolelo.
Therefore comfort one another with these words.
