< 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;
To the angel of the church which is in Ephesos, write: These saith the Holder of all, and of the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven candlesticks of gold.
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 thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and (that) thou canst not bear evils; and hast tried those who say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars.
3 He ahonui kou, a ua hoomanawanui no hoi oe ma ko'u inoa, aole i paupauaho.
And thou hast patience, and hast laboured on account of my name, and hast not fainted.
4 He mea no nae ka'u ia oe, no ka mea, ua haalele oe i kou aloha mua.
But I have against thee, because thy first love thou hast forsaken.
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.
Remember, therefore, from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works. But if not, I will come to thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick from its place, if thou convert not.
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.
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nikolitu, which also I (hate).
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.
He who hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him who overcometh I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of my 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;
And to the angel of the church which is in Smurna, write: These saith the First and the Last, who was dead, and liveth.
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 thy works, and affliction, and poverty, but thou art rich; and the blasphemy of them who say of themselves that they are Jihudoyee, and are not, but the synagogue of Satana.
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.
Fear not any thing of those that thou art to suffer; for, behold, it will be that the accuser will cast some of you into prison, so that you may be tried; and you will have affliction ten days. Be faithful unto the death, and I will give thee 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.
He who hath ears, let him hear what saith the Spirit to the churches. He who overcometh shall not be injured by the second death.
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;
And to the angel of the church which is in Pergamos, write: These saith he who hath the sharp sword with two edges.
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 thy works, and where thou dwellest, where (is) the throne of Satana; and thou hast held my name, and not denied my faith in those days when my witness was exposed, my faithful one, who was killed with you where dwelleth Satana.
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 against thee a little, because thou hast there those who hold the doctrine of Belam, who taught Balok to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat that which the sons of idols (eat), and to commit fornication.
15 Aia no hoi ia oe kekahi poe malama i ka manao o ka poe Nikolaite, ka mea a'u i hoowahawaha'i.
So hast thou who hold the doctrine of the Nikolitu: of it,
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.
in like (manner), repent; and if not, I will come to thee quickly, and will war against them with 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.
He who hath ears, let him hear what saith the Spirit to the churches. To him who overcometh will I give to eat of the manna which is hidden; and I will give to him the white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth but he who receiveth.
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;
And to the angel and church which is in Thiatiros, write: These saith the Son of Aloha, who hath his eyes as the flame of fire, and his feet like refined 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 thy works, and thy love and faith and service; and also thy patience, and thy last works to be greater than the first.
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 against thee that thou permittest thy wife Izabel, who calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat what the sons of idols (eat).
21 Ua haawi aku no au ia ia i manawa e mihi ai, no kona moe kolohe ana, aole loa oia i mihi.
And I gave her time when she might convert, and she willed not to repent of her fornication.
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.
Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those who have committed adultery with her into great affliction, if they repent not of their works.
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.
And her sons will I kill with death, and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and the hearts: and I will give to you every one according to your works.
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.
But to you I say, to those of the rest who are in Thiatiros, all them who have not this doctrine, the men who know not the depths Of Satana, as they speak; I will not throw upon you another burden;
25 Aka, i ka mea a oukou e paa nei, ea, e hoopaa ia mea a hiki aku au.
but that which you have, hold, 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:
And he who conquereth, and he who keepeth until the end my works, I will give to him power over the peoples,
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.
and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and as a vessel of the potter shall they be destroyed, as also I have received from my Father;
28 A na'u no e haawi ia ia i ka hokuao.
and I will give to him the morning star.
29 O ka mea pepeiao la, e hoolohe ia i ka mea a ka Uhane e olelo nei i na ekalesia.
He who hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
