Tesalonike II 3
1 NO na mea i koe, e pule oukou, e na hoahanau, no makou, i holo leaai ka olelo a ka Haku, a i hoonaniia'i hoi, e like me ia iwaena o oukou;
Finally, brethren, pray for us, asking that the Lord's Message may be spread rapidly and its glory be displayed, as it was displayed among you;
2 A i hoopakeleia'e ai hoi makou i kanaka haihaia a me ka hana hewa; no ka mea, aole pau na kanaka i ka manaoio.
and that we may be delivered from wrong-headed and wicked men; for it is not everybody who has faith.
3 Aka, he oiaio ka Haku, nana oukou e hookupaa mai, a e hoopakele hoi i ka mea hewa.
But the Lord is faithful, and He will make you stedfast and will guard you from the Evil one.
4 He manao ko makou iloko o ka Haku ia oukou, e, ke hana mai nei no oukou, a e hana no i na mea a makou e kauoha aku nei ia oukou.
And we have confidence in the Lord in regard to you that you are doing, and will do, what we command.
5 Na ka Haku hoi e alakai i ko oukou naau iloko o ke aloha o ke Akua, a me ke ahonui o Kristo.
And may the Lord guide your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.
6 Ke kauoha aku nei hoi makou ia oukou, e na hoahanau, ma ka inoa o ko kakou Haku, o Iesu Kristo, e hookaawale ia oukou iho, mai kela hoahanau a me keia hoahanau e hele hokai ana, aole mamuli o ka haawina i kauohaia'ku ai e makou.
But, by the authority of the Lord, we command you, brethren, to stand aloof from every brother whose life is disorderly and not in accordance with the teaching which all received from us.
7 Ua ike no hoi oukou, e pono oukou e hoohalike me makou; no ka mea, aole makou i hele hokai iwaena o oukou.
For you yourselves know that it is your duty to follow our example. There was no disorder in our lives among you,
8 Aole hoi makou i ai i ka berena a kekahi me ka uku ole aku; aka, ua hooikaika no makou ma ka hana, a me ka luhi i ka po a me ke ao, i ole ai makou e lilo i mea e luhi ai kekahi o oukou.
nor did we eat any one's bread without paying for it, but we laboured and toiled, working hard night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you.
9 Aole no ka pono ole ia makou, aka, no ka hoolilo ana ia makou iho i kumu hoohalike, i hahai mai ai oukou mamuli o makou.
This was not because we had not a claim upon you, but it arose from a desire to set you an example--for you to imitate us.
10 No ka mea hoi, la makou i noho ai me oukou, ua olelo aku makou ia oukou peneia, Ina aole e hana kekahi, aole hoi ia e pono ke ai.
For even when we were with you, we laid down this rule for you: "If a man does not choose to work, neither shall he eat."
11 Ua lohe hoi makou, e, aia hoi iwaena o oukou kekahi poe e hele hokai ana, aole e hana maoli ana, aka, he poe hana lapuwale.
For we hear that there are some of you who live disorderly lives and are mere idle busybodies.
12 A oia poe, o ka makou ia e kauoha aku nei me ka hooikaika aku, ma ko kakou Haku, ma o Iesu Kristo la, e hana maoli lakou me ka noho malie, a e ai hoi i ka lakou ai ponoi iho.
To persons of that sort our injunction--and our command by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ--is that they are to work quietly and eat their own honestly-earned bread.
13 O oukou hoi, e na hoahanau, mai hoonawaliwali i ka hana pono ana.
But you, brethren, must not grow weary in the path of duty;
14 A ina hoolohe ole mai kekahi i ka makou olelo ma keia episetole, e hoailona oukou ia ia, aole hoi e hoolauna pu me ia, i hilahila ia.
and if any one refuses to obey these our written instructions, mark that man and hold no communication with him--so that he may be made to feel ashamed.
15 Mai kapa hoi oukou ia ia he enemi; aka, e ao aku ia ia me he hoahanau la.
And yet do not regard him as an enemy, but caution him as a brother.
16 Na ka Haku nona ka malu e hoomalu mau mai ia oukou, i na mea a pau. O ka Haku pu kekahi me oukou a pau loa.
And may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every sense. The Lord be with you all.
17 O ke aloha o'u o Paulo nako'u lima no ia, oia ka hoailona i na episetole a pau; pela wau e palapala aku nei.
I Paul add the greeting with my own hand, which is the credential in every letter of mine.
18 A ia oukou a pau ke aloha o ko kakou Haku o Iesu Kristo. Amene.
This is my handwriting. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
