Ioane III 1
1 NA ka Lunakahiko ia Gaio ka punahele, i ka'u mea i aloha ai ma ka oiaio.
The elder unto the beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
2 E ka punahele, ua nui aku no ko'u makemake e pomaikai oe a ikaik a hoi ma ke kino, e like me ka pomaikai ana o kou uhane.
Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.
3 Ua hauoli nui no wau i ka wa i hiki mai ai o ka poe hoahanau, a hoike mai i ka oiaio ou, me kou hele ana ma ka oiaio.
For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, even as you walk in the truth.
4 Aole o'u olioli nui e aku i keia, o ka lohe ana i ka hele ana o ka'u mau keiki ma ka oiaio.
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
5 E ka punahele, ua hana pono oe ma na mea au i hana aku ai i ka poe hoahauau, a me ka poe malihini hoi.
Beloved, you do faithfully whatsoever you do to the brethren, and to strangers;
6 Ua hoike mai lakou i kou aloha imua o ka ekalesia; a ina e kai mai oe ia lakou e like me ka ke Akua, alaila e pono kau hana ana.
Which have borne witness of your love (agape) before the church: whom if you bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, you shall do well:
7 No ka mea, ua hele aku lakou no kona inoa, aole lakou i lawe i kekahi mea no ko na aina e mai.
Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
8 No ia hoi, he mea pono ia kakou ke hookipa i ua poe la, i lilo kakou i poe hoalawehana ma ka oiaio.
We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellow-helpers to the truth.
9 Ua palapala aku au na ka poe ekalesia; aka, ua hooalii ae la o Dioterepe maluna o lakou, aole oia i hookipa mai ia makou.
I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, receives us not.
10 No ia hoi, i ko'u hele ana aku e hoomanao wau i ka hana ana i hana'i, ua hoohuahualau mai ia ia makou me kana olelo inoino: aole hoi ia i hoomaha ia mau mea, aole oia i hookipa i ka poe hoahanau, a o ka poe i makemake aku, ua hooleia mai e ia, a kipaku aku no hoi oia ia lakou mawaho o ka ekalesia.
Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he does, babbling against us with malicious words: (logos) and not content therewith, neither does he himself receive the brethren, and forbids them that would, and casts them out of the church.
11 E ka punahele, mai hoomahui oe i ka hewa, aka, i ka maikai no. O ka mea hana maikai, no ke Akua no ia; o ka mea e hana ino, aole oia i ike i ke Akua.
Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that does good is of God: but he that does evil has not seen God.
12 Ua hoike mai lakou a pau i ko Demeterio pono, a me ka oiaio; a ke hoike aku nei makou; ua ike pono no hoi oukou, he oiaio no ka makou olelo.
Demetrius has good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and all of you know that our record is true.
13 Ua nui ka'u mau mea e palapala aku ai ia oe, aka, aole au makemake e palapala aku me ka inika a me ka peni:
I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto you:
14 He manaolana ko'u e ike koke ia oe, a e kamailio pu he waha no he waha. Aloha oe. Ke uwe aku nei ka poe makamaka ia oe; e uwe aku oe ma ka inoa i ka poe hoalauna.
But I trust I shall shortly see you, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to you. Our friends salute you. Greet the friends by name.
