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.

Let all who are under the yoke as slaves regard their own masters as worthy of all honor. They should do this so that the name of God and the teaching might not be blasphemed.

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.

The slaves who have believing masters should not disrespect them because they are brothers. Instead, they should serve them all the more. For the masters who are helped by their work are believers and are loved. Teach and declare these things.

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;

If anyone teaches something that does not agree with the reliable instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,

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,

he is proud and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and arguments about words that result in envy, strife, insults, evil 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 constant conflict between people with depraved minds. They have lost the truth and they think that godliness is a way to get more money.

6 Aka, o ka manao i ke Akua, me ka oluolu io, oia ka waiwai nui.

Now godliness with contentment is great gain.

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 have brought nothing into the world. Neither are we able to take out anything.

8 A ina, ia kakou ka ai a me ke kapa, malaila kakou e oluolu ai.

Instead, let us be satisfied with food and clothing.

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.

Now those who want to become wealthy fall into temptation, into a trap. They fall into many foolish and harmful passions, and into whatever else makes people sink into ruin and destruction.

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.

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people who desire it have been mislead away from the faith and have pierced themselves with much grief.

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, man of God, flee from these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, endurance, and 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)

Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the everlasting life to which you were called, and about which you gave the good confession before many witnesses. (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 give you this command before God, who causes all things to live, and before Christ Jesus, who spoke what is true to Pontius Pilate:

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;

Keep the commandment without spot or blame until the appearance 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;

God will reveal Christ's appearing at the right time—God, the blessed and only Sovereign, the King who reigns and the Lord who rules.

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)

Only he has immortality and dwells in inapproachable light. No man sees him or is able to view him. To him be honor and eternal power. 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)

Tell the rich in this world not to be proud, and not to hope in riches, which are uncertain. Instead, they should hope in God. He offers to us all the true riches to enjoy. (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;

Tell them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, and willing to share.

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.

In that way, they will store up for themselves a good foundation for what is to come, so that they will take hold of real 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, protect what was given to you. Avoid the foolish talk and conflicting ideas of what is falsely called knowledge.

21 O ka mea a kekahi poe i hooia ai, ua haalele hoi i ka manaoio. Ia oe ke alohaia mai. Amene.

Some men proclaim these things and so they have missed the faith. May grace be with you.
