Ioane II 1
1 NA ka Lunakahiko i ka wahine aloha a me kana mau keiki i alohaia e au ma ka oiaio; aole e au wale no, aka, e ka poe a pau i ike i ka oiaio;
The Elder to the elect lady and her children. Truly I love you all, and not I alone, but also all who know the truth,
for the sake of the truth which is continually in our hearts and will be with us for ever. (aiōn g165)
3 E alohaia mai oukou, a e lokomaikaiia mai, a e maluhia hoi e ke Akua ka Makua, a me ka Haku o Iesu Kristo ke Keiki a ka Makua, ma ka oiaio a me ke aloha.
Grace, mercy and peace will be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 Ua hauoli nui aku au i ko'u ike ana i kekahi o kau poe keiki e hele ana ma ka oiaio, e like me ke kauoha i loaa ia kakou, mai ka Makua mai.
It is an intense joy to me to have found some of your children living true Christian lives, in obedience to the command which we have received from the Father.
5 Ano la ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e ka wahine, aole me ka palapala ana aku ia oe i ke kanawai hou, aka, o ka mea i loaa mai ia makou mai kinohi mai, i aloha kakou i kekahi i kekahi.
And now, dear lady, I pray you--writing to you, as I do, not a new command, but the one which we have had from the very beginning--let us love one another.
6 Eia no ke aloha, i hele kakou ma kana mau kauoha. Eia no ke kauoha, e like me ko oukou lohe ana, mai kinohi mai, i hele oukou malaila.
The love of which I am speaking consists in our living in obedience to God's commands. God's command is that you should live in obedience to what you all heard from the very beginning.
7 No ka mea, ua komo mai i ke ao nei ka poe wahahee he nui wale, aole lakou i hooiaio i ko Iesu Kristo hiki ana mai ma ke kino; oia no ka wahahee a me ke Anikristo.
For many deceivers have gone out into the world--men who do not acknowledge Jesus as Christ who has come in human nature. Such a one is 'the deceiver' and 'the anti-Christ.'
8 E malama pono ia oukou iho, i lilo ole ka makou mea i hana'i, aka, i loaa hoi ia makou ka uku a pau.
Keep guard over yourselves, so that you may not lose the results of your good deeds, but may receive back a full reward.
9 O ka mea i hana hewa, aole hoi i noho ma ka olelo a ka Mesia, aole no ke Akua ia: o ka mea e noho ana ma ka olelo a ka Mesia, nona no ka Makua a me Keiki.
No one has God, who instead of remaining true to the teaching of Christ, presses on in advance: but he who remains true to that teaching has both the Father and the Son.
10 Ina e hele mai kekahi io oukou la, aole i halihali mai i ua olelo la, mai hookipa oukou ia ia iloko o ka hale, aole hoi o i aku ia ia, Aloha.
If any one who comes to you does not bring this teaching, do not receive him under your roof nor bid him Farewell.
11 No ka mea, o ka mea e i ae ia ia, Aloha; he hoalawehana ia ma kana hana ino ana.
He who bids him Farewell is a sharer in his evil deeds.
12 Nui no ka'u mea e palapala aku ai ia oukou, aole au i makemake ma ka pepa a me ka inika; no ka mea, he manaolana ko'u e hele aku io oukou la, e kamailio pu, he waha no he waha, i nui ai ko kakou olioli ana.
I have a great deal to say to you all, but will not write it with paper and ink. Yet I hope to come to see you and speak face to face, so that your happiness may be complete.
13 Ke uwe aku nei ia oe na keiki a kou hoahanau wahine aloha. Amene.
The children of your elect sister send greetings to you.
