Hoikeana 2
1 E PALAPALA aku oe i ka anela o ka ekalesia ma Epeso; Ke i mai nei ka mea nana e paa ana na hoku ehiku ma kona lima akau, a e hele ana hoi mawaena o na ipu kukui gula ehiku, penei;
“Write this to the angel of the Ephesus church: This is what the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand says, the one who walks among the seven golden candlesticks:
2 Ua ike no au i kau hana ana, a me kou luhi, a me kou ahonui, a me ka hiki ole ia oe ke hoomanawanui i ka poe hewa; a ua hoao oe i ka poe i hai mai ia lakou iho he poe lunaolelo, aole ka, a ua ike oe ia lakou, he poe wahahee.
I know what you've accomplished, your hard work and perseverance. I know you can't tolerate evil people, and how you investigated those who claimed to be apostles but are not, and discovered they were frauds.
3 He ahonui kou, a ua hoomanawanui no hoi oe ma ko'u inoa, aole i paupauaho.
I know about your patience, and what you endured for my sake—and that you didn't give up!
4 He mea no nae ka'u ia oe, no ka mea, ua haalele oe i kou aloha mua.
But I have something against you: you have neglected your first love.
5 Nolaila, e hoomanao oe i kou wahi i haule ai, a e mihi hoi, a e hana hoi i na hana mua; a i ole, ea, e hele koke aku au iou la, a e lawe aku i kou ipukukui, mai kona wahi aku, ke mihi ole oe.
So remember how far you've fallen—repent and go back to what you were doing at first. Otherwise I'll come to you and I will remove your candlestick from where it is—unless you repent.
6 O kau hoi keia, ua hoowahawaha oe i ka hana ana a ka poe Nikolaite, o ka mea a'u i hoowahawaha aku ai.
However, you do have this to your credit: you hate the actions of the Nicolaitans, just as I do.
7 O ka mea pepeiao la, e hoolohe ia i ka mea a ka Uhane e olelo nei i na ekalesia; O ka mea lanakila, e haawi no wau ia ia, e ai i ko ka laau o ke ola, ka mea maloko o ka paradaiso o ko'u Akua.
If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches. I will give to those who are victorious the privilege of eating from the tree of life, which stands in the Paradise of God.
8 E palapala aku oe i ka anela o ka ekalesia ma Semurena; Ke i mai nei ka mea mua, a me ka mea hope, o ka mea i make, a i ola hou, menei;
Write this to the angel of the Smyrna church: This is what the first and last says, the one who was dead and came back to life:
9 Ua ike no au i kau hana ana, a me kou popilikia, a me kou hune, ua waiwai no nae oe; a ua ike au i ka olelo hooino a ka poe i kapa ia lakou iho he poe Iudaio, aole ka, o ka halehalawai lakou o Satana.
I know the troubles you are going through, and how poor you are (but you are rich), and the abuse from those who say they are Jews but are not, but belong to Satan's synagogue.
10 Mai makau aku i na mea au e pilikia ai: aia hoi, e hahao ana o ka diabolo i kekahi o oukou iloko o ka halepaahao, i hoaoia'i oukou; he umi na la a oukou e kaumaha ai. E ku paa oe ma ka pono a hiki i ka make, a na'u no e haawi aku ia oe i ka lei o ke ola.
Don't be afraid about what you are going to suffer. Yes, the devil will throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Just remain faithful, even if it means death, and I will give you the crown of life!
11 O ka mea pepeiao la, e hoolohe ia i ka mea a ka Uhane e olelo nei i na ekalesia; O ka mea lanakila, aole loa ia e eha i ka make alua.
If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches. The second death will not harm those who are victorious.
12 E palapala aku oe i ka anela o ka ekalesia ma Peregamo; Ke i mai nei ka mea nana ka pahikaua oi lua penei;
Write this to the angel of the Pergamum church: This is what the one holding the sharp two-edged sword says:
13 Ua ike no au i kau hana ana, a me kou wahi e noho la, aia ma kahi nohoalii o Satana; a ua paa ia oe ko'u inoa, aole hoi oe i hoole i ko'u manaoio, aole i na la o Anetipasa o ka mea i hoike oiaio no'u; ua pepehiia oia iwaena o oukou, i kahi e noho ai o Satana.
I know you're living where Satan has his throne, and that you have stayed true to me. You have not denied your trust in me, even when my faithful witness Antipas was killed right among you there where Satan lives!
14 Aka, he mau mea ka'u ia oe, no ka mea, aia no ia oe kekahi poe malama i ka manao o Balaama, nana i ao mai ia Balaka e kau imua o na mamo a Iseraela i ka mea e hina ai, e ai i na mea i kaumahaia na na kii, a e moe kolohe hoi.
But I have a few things against you: There are some among you who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak how to entrap the children of Israel by means of eating food sacrificed to idols and committing sexual sins.
15 Aia no hoi ia oe kekahi poe malama i ka manao o ka poe Nikolaite, ka mea a'u i hoowahawaha'i.
Similarly you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
16 Nolaila, e mihi oe; a i ole, ea, e hele koke aku au iou la, a e kaua aku ia lakou, me ka pahikaua o kuu waha.
So repent, or soon I will come to you and fight against them using the sword of my mouth.
17 O ka mea pepeiao la, e hoolohe ia i ka mea a ka Uhane e olelo nei i na ekalesia; O ka mea lanakila, e haawi aku au ia ia e ai i ka mane i hunaia, a e haawi no hoi au ia ia i ka pohaku keokeo, a maluna iho o ua pohaku la, ua palapalaia ka inoa hou, aole mea ike ia inoa, o ka mea wale no ia ia ka pohaku.
If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches. I will give the hidden manna to those who are victorious. I will give them a white stone with a new name written on it that nobody knows except those who receive it.
18 E palapala aku oe i ka anela o ka ekalesia ma Tuateira; Ke i mai nei ke Keiki a ke Akua, ka mea nona na maka e like me ka lapalapa o ke ahi, a ua like kona mau wawae me ke keleawe melemele maikai, penei;
Write this to the angel of the Thyatira church: This is what the Son of God says, the one who has eyes like flaming fire and feet like polished brass.
19 Ua ike au i kau hana ana, a me kou aloha, a me kou lawelawe ana, a me kou manaoio, a me kou ahonui, a me ka oi ana aku o kau hana hope, mamua o na hana mua.
I know what you have accomplished, your love and faithfulness and service and perseverance, and that you are doing more now than when you first believed.
20 Aka, he mea ka'u ia oe, no ka mea, ua waiho wale oe i ka wahine ia Iesabela, ka mea i hai mai ia ia iho, he kaula, a ua ao mai oia, a ua hoowalewale mai i ka'u poe kauwa, e moe kolohe, a e ai i na mea i kaumahaia na na kii.
But I have something against you: you are allowing the woman called Jezebel who calls herself a prophetess to teach my followers, leading them astray into sexual sins, and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
21 Ua haawi aku no au ia ia i manawa e mihi ai, no kona moe kolohe ana, aole loa oia i mihi.
I gave her time to repent of her sexual sins, but she's not willing to repent.
22 Aia hoi, e kiola ana au ia ia i kahi moe, a me ka poe i moe kolohe me ia, iloko o ka mainoino nui, ke mihi ole lakou i ka lakou hana ana.
So I'm throwing her into a bed together with her adulterous partners and they will suffer terribly unless they repent of what they have done with her.
23 A e luku aku no au i kana mau keiki i ka make; a e ike auanei na ekalesia a pau, owau no ka mea huli i ka opu a me ka naau; a na'u no e haawi aku i kela mea i keia mea o oukou, e like me ka oukou hana ana.
I will put her children to death. Then all the churches will know that I am the one who examines thoughts and motives. I will repay each of you according to what you've done.
24 Ke olelo aku nei no hoi au ia oukou, ka poe i koe ma Tuateira, ka poe aole i hahai ma ia manao, ka poe aole i ike i ko Satana mea hohonu, pela ka olelo; aole au e kau maluna o oukou i kekahi mea kaumaha e ae.
For the rest of you there in Thyatira who don't follow this teaching, who have not learned Satan's ‘deep depravities’ as they are called, I don't place on you any other burden. I say to you,
25 Aka, i ka mea a oukou e paa nei, ea, e hoopaa ia mea a hiki aku au.
‘Just hold on to what you have until I come.’
26 O ka mea e lanakila a malama hoi i ka'u hana, a hiki i ka hopena, e haawi aku no au ia ia i ka mana maluna o na lahuikanaka:
I will give authority over the nations to those who are victorious and who do what I say until the end.
27 A e hoomalu no oia ia lakou me ke kookoohao; me na ipu lepo e ulupaia'i lakou; e like me ka'u i loaa mai ai i ko'u Makua.
He will rule the nations with an iron rod, breaking them into pieces like clay pots. In the same way that I received authority from my Father,
28 A na'u no e haawi ia ia i ka hokuao.
I will give them the morning star.
29 O ka mea pepeiao la, e hoolohe ia i ka mea a ka Uhane e olelo nei i na ekalesia.
If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit is telling the churches.”
