Ioane III 1
1 NA ka Lunakahiko ia Gaio ka punahele, i ka'u mea i aloha ai ma ka oiaio.
THE presbyter unto Gaios my beloved, whom I love in 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.
Our beloved, in all things I pray for thee, that thou mayest prosper and be healthful, even as thy soul prospereth.
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 have rejoiced greatly when the brethren have come, and have testified concerning thy integrity, even as in the truth thou walkest.
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.
And greater joy than this I have not (than) when I hear that my sons walk in the 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.
Our beloved, in faithfulness thou performest what thou doest unto the brethren, and especially to those who are 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.
who have testified of thy charity, before all the church, to whom thou hast done well according to that which is worthy of Aloha.
7 No ka mea, ua hele aku lakou no kona inoa, aole lakou i lawe i kekahi mea no ko na aina e mai.
For after his name they went forth, taking nothing from 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 may be helpers of 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 would have written to the church; but he who loveth to be foremost of you, Diotrapas, receiveth 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.
On account of this, if I come, I will remember the works which he doeth, who words of evil maketh concerning us; and these not satisfying him, he hath not received the brethren, and those who receive he forbiddeth, and also expelleth from 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.
Our beloved, be not imitative of the evil, but of the good. He who doeth good is of Aloha, and he who doeth evil hath not seen Aloha.
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.
Concerning Demetrios is a testimony from every man, and from the church, and from the truth itself. But we also bear witness, and you know that our testimony 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 have many things which I would write to thee, but I will not with ink and reed write to thee.
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 hope that soon I shall see thee, and mouth to mouth we will speak. Peace be with thee. The friends ask thy peace. Ask the peace of the friends each by his name.
