Timoteo I 6
1 E PONO i na kauwa a pau malalo iho o ka auamo, ke manao i ko lakou mau haku, he pono ke hoomaikai nui ia'ku, i ole ai e hoino wale ia ka inoa o ke Akua a me kana olelo.
All who are in the position of slaves should regard their masters as deserving of the greatest respect, so that the name of God, and our teaching, may not be maligned.
2 A o ka poe nona na haku manaoio, mai hoowahawaha aku lakou no ko lakou hoahanau ana; aka, e lawelawe aku no lakou, no ka mea, he poe paulele lakou a he poe alohaia e lawe pu ana i ka pono. Ma ia mau mea e ao aku ai oe me ka hooikaika aku.
Those who have Christian masters should not think less of them because they are also followers of Christ, but on the contrary they should serve them all the better, because those who are to benefit by their good work are dear to them as their fellow Christians.
3 A ina he okoa ka kekahi ao ana aku, me ka ae ole mai i na huaolelo pono, i na olelo a ko kakou Haku a Iesn Kristo, a me ke ao ana aku mamuli o ka manao maikai i ke Akua;
Anyone who teaches otherwise, and refuses their assent to sound instruction – the instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ – and to the teaching of religion,
4 He hookano ia, he naaupo loa, a e kuko wale ana i na ninau a me na huaolelo hooakamai, kahi e ulu ai ka huwa, ka paio, ka nuku, ka hoohuoi ino,
is puffed up with conceit, not really knowing anything, but having a morbid craving for discussions and arguments. Such things only give rise to envy, quarreling, recriminations, base suspicions,
5 A me ka hoopaapaa huhu ana a na kanaka naau ino, me ka lako ole i ka olelo oiaio, e manao ana hoi, o ka waiwai ka manao i ke Akua; e hoookoa oe ia oe iho ia lakou.
and incessant wrangling on the part of these corrupt-minded people who have lost all hold on the truth, and who think of religion only as a source of gain.
6 Aka, o ka manao i ke Akua, me ka oluolu io, oia ka waiwai nui.
Of course religion is a great source of gain – when combined with contentment!
7 No ka mea, aohe a kakou mea i lawe mai ai iloko o keia ao, he oiaio hoi aohe a kakou mea e hiki ke lawe pu aku iwaho.
For we brought nothing into the world, because we cannot even carry anything out of it.
8 A ina, ia kakou ka ai a me ke kapa, malaila kakou e oluolu ai.
So, with food and shelter, we will be content.
9 Aka, o ka poe e makemake ana i ka waiwai nui, ua haule lakou iloko o ka hoowalewaleia a me ka pahele, a iloko o kela kuko lapuwale keia kuko lapuwale e pono ole ai, na mea e paholo ai na kanaka i ka poino, a me ka make.
Those who want to be rich fall into the net of temptation, and become the prey of many foolish and harmful ambitions, which plunge people into destruction and ruin.
10 No ka mea, o ka puni kala o ka mole no ia o ka hewa a pau; ua kuko nui ia ia e kekahi poe, a ua haalele lakou i ka manaoio, a ua houhou lakou ia lakou iho i na ehaeha he nui.
Love of money is a source of all kinds of evil; and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith, and have been pierced to the heart by many a regret.
11 Aka, o oe, e ke kanaka o ke Akua, e haalele ia mau mea; a e hahai mamuli o ka pono, o ka manao i ke Akua, o ka manaoio, o ke aloha, o ke ahonui, a me ke akahai.
But you must, servant of God, avoid all this. Aim at righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, gentleness.
12 E paio aku i ka paio maikai o ka manaoio, e hoopaa aku i ke ola mau loa, i kou mea i kohoia mai ai, a e hooia aku ai i ka hooiaio maikai imua o ke alo o na hoike he lehulehu. (aiōnios g166)
Run the great race of the faith, and win the eternal life. It was for this that you received the call, and, in the presence of many witnesses, made the great profession of faith. (aiōnios g166)
13 Ke kauoha aku nei au ia oe imua i ke alo o ke Akua, ka mea i hoola i na mea a pau, a o Kristo Iesu hoi, ka mea i hoike imua o Ponetio Pilato i ka hooiaio maikai;
I beg you, as in the sight of God, the source of all life, and of Christ Jesus who before Pontius Pilate made the great profession of faith –
14 E malama oe i keia kauoha i kina ole, me ka hala ole, a hiki wale aku i ka ikea ana mai o ko kakou Haku o Iesu Kristo;
I implore you to keep his command free from stain or reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 I ka mea i na manawa ona iho, o hoike mai ai oia, o ka Moi pomaikai hookahi, o ke Alii o na alii, o ka Haku o na haku;
This will be brought about in his own time by the one ever-blessed Potentate, the king of all kings and Lord of all lords,
16 Nona wale no ka make ole, e noho mau ana iloko o ka malamalama kahi e hiki ole aku ai ke kanaka; aole ikeia e ke kanaka, aole hoi e hiki ia ia ke nana aku; ia ia mau loa hoi ka mahalo a me ka mana. Amene. (aiōnios g166)
who alone is possessed of immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or ever can see – to whom be ascribed honor and power for ever. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 E kauoha aku oe i ka poe waiwai i keia ao, mai hookiekie ko lakou naau, mai hilinai i ka waiwai oiaio ole, aka, i ke Akua ola, nana na mea a pau i haawi lokomaikai mai ia kakou e oluolu ai. (aiōn g165)
Teach those who are wealthy in this life not to pride themselves, or fix their hopes, on so uncertain a thing as wealth, but on God, who gives us a wealth of enjoyment on every side. (aiōn g165)
18 E hana maikai hoi lakou, i lako hoi lakou i na hana maikai, i makaukau hoi i ka haawi wale aku me ka lokomaikai;
Teach them to show kindness, to exhibit a wealth of good actions, to be open-handed and generous,
19 E hoahu ana i kumu maikai na lakou iho, no ka manawa e hiki mai ana, i paa aku ai lakou i ke ola mau loa.
storing up for themselves what in the future will prove to be a good foundation, so that they may gain the only true life.
20 E Timoteo, e malama oe i ka mea i kauohaia'ku ia oe, e pale ana i ka wawa lapuwale, a me ke ku ee ana o ka mea i kapa hewa ia he naauao:
Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid the profane prattle and contradictions of what some miscall ‘theology,’
21 O ka mea a kekahi poe i hooia ai, ua haalele hoi i ka manaoio. Ia oe ke alohaia mai. Amene.
for there are those who, while asserting their proficiency in it, have yet, as regards the faith, gone altogether astray. God bless you all.
