Timoteo I 4
1 KE olelo paka mai nei ka Uhane, a i ka manawa mahope, e haalele kekahi poe i ka manaoio, e malama ana i na uhane hoopunipuni, a me ke ao ana a na daimonio;
Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons,
2 E wahahee ana me ka hookamani; a e hoaaia ko lakou naau me ka hao wela;
influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.
3 E papa ana i ka mare, a me kekahi mau mea ai, a ke Akua i hana'i e aiia'i me ke aloha, e ka poe manaoio me ka ike i ka olelo oiaio.
They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
4 He maikai na mea a pau i hanaia e ke Akua, aole e paleia'ku ke laweia mai ia me ka hoomaikai aku:
For every creation of God is good, and nothing that is received with thanksgiving should be rejected,
5 No ka mea, ua hooponoia mai ia e ka olelo a ke Akua a me ka pule.
because it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
6 Ina, e paipai oe i neia mau mea i na hoahanau, e lilo no oe i kahunapule maikai no Iesu Kristo, e hanaiia me ka huaolelo o ka manaoio, a me ke ao maikai ana i loaa pono ia oe.
By pointing out these things to the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of faith and sound instruction that you have followed.
7 Aka, e pale aku i na kaao lapuwale a na luwahine, e hooikaika oe ma ka manao i ke Akua.
But reject irreverent, silly myths. Instead, train yourself for godliness.
8 No ka mea, o ka hooikaika ana o ke kino, he uuku ka waiwai; aka, o ka manao i ke Akua he mea ia e pono ai i na mea a pau, ua olelo mua ia mai no hoi, nona keia ola ana e noho nei, a me kela ola ana.
For physical exercise is of limited value, but godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for the present life and for the one to come.
9 He olelo oiaio keia e pono e malama nui ia mai.
This is a trustworthy saying, worthy of full acceptance.
10 No ka mea, nolaila kakou e hooikaika nei me ka hoino wale ia mai no ko kakou hilinai ana i ke Akua ola, oia ke ola no na kanaka a pau, e ola io ai ka poe manaoio.
To this end we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of everyone, and especially of those who believe.
11 E kauoha aku oe me ke ao io aku ia mau mea.
Command and teach these things.
12 Mai hoowahawaha kekahi i kou opiopio ana; aka, e lilo oe i kumu hoohalike no ka poe paulele, ma ka olelo ana, a ma ke kamailio ana, a ma ke aloha, a ma ka manao, a ma ka paulele, a ma ka maemae.
Let no one despise your youth, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
13 Eia kau e hana'i a hiki wale aku au, o ka heluhelu palapala, o ka hooikaika aku, a me ke ao aku.
Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, and to teaching.
14 Mai waiho aku i kou haawina iloko ou, i haawiia mai nou, maka wanana, a me ke kau ana iho o na lima o ka poe lunakahiko.
Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given you through the prophecy spoken over you at the laying on of the hands of the elders.
15 E manao oe i ua mau mea la; a e hoolilo loa malaila; i ikea kou pono ana e na mea a pau.
Be diligent in these matters and absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all.
16 E malama oe ia oe iho, a me ke ao ana'ku. E noho mau ma ia mau mea; no ka mea, ma kau hana ana ia, e hoola oe ia oe iho, a me ka poe a pau e hoolohe mai ana ia oe.
Pay close attention to your life and to your teaching. Persevere in these things, for by so doing you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
