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 those born of her, whom I love in the truth: and not I alone, but also all those who have known the truth,
because the truth which dwells in us shall be with us for eternity. (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.
May grace, mercy, and peace be with you from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus, the Son of the Father, in truth and in 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.
I was very glad because I discovered some of your sons walking in the truth, just as we received the commandment 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 I petition you, Lady, not as if writing a new commandment to you, but instead that commandment which we have had from the beginning: that we 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.
And this is love: that we walk according to his commandments. For this is the commandment that you have heard in the same way from the beginning, and in which you should walk.
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, those who do not confess that Jesus Christ has arrived in the flesh. Such a one as this is a deceiver and an antichrist.
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.
Be cautious for yourselves, lest you lose what you have accomplished, and so that, instead, you may receive 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.
Everyone who withdraws and does not remain in the doctrine of Christ, does not have God. Whoever remains in the doctrine, such a one as this 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 anyone comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine, do not be willing to receive him into the house, and do not speak a greeting to him.
11 No ka mea, o ka mea e i ae ia ia, Aloha; he hoalawehana ia ma kana hana ino ana.
For whoever speaks a greeting to him, is speaking with his evil works.
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 much more to write to you, but I am not willing to do so through paper and ink. For I hope that I may be with you in the future, and that I may speak face to face, so that your joy may be full.
13 Ke uwe aku nei ia oe na keiki a kou hoahanau wahine aloha. Amene.
The sons of your Elect Sister greet you.
