< 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 in Ephesus write: 'The words of the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand and who walks among the seven golden lampstands,
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 have done and your hard labor and your patient endurance. I know that you cannot tolerate the evil people. I know that you have tested those who say they are apostles, but are not, and that you have found them to be false.
3 He ahonui kou, a ua hoomanawanui no hoi oe ma ko'u inoa, aole i paupauaho.
I know you have patient endurance, and you have suffered much because of my name, and that you have not grown weary.
4 He mea no nae ka'u ia oe, no ka mea, ua haalele oe i kou aloha mua.
But I have against you the fact that you have left behind 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.
Remember therefore from where you have fallen. Repent and do the things you did at first. Unless you repent, I will come to you and I will remove your lampstand from its place.
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 you have this: You hate what the Nicolaitans have done, which I also 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.
Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is 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;
“To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: 'The words of the one who is the first and the last, the one who was dead and who became alive again:
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 your sufferings and your poverty, but you are rich. I know the slander of those who say they are Jews, but they are not. They are a synagogue of Satan.
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.
Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Look! The devil is about to throw some of you into prison so that you will be tested, and you will suffer for ten days. Be faithful until 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.
Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. The one who conquers will not be hurt 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;
“To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: 'The words of the one who has the sword with two sharp 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 where you live, there where Satan's throne is. Yet you hold on tightly to my name. I know that you did not deny your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed 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: You have there some who hold tightly to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling block before the children of Israel, so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and be sexually immoral.
15 Aia no hoi ia oe kekahi poe malama i ka manao o ka poe Nikolaite, ka mea a'u i hoowahawaha'i.
In the same way, you even have some who hold tightly 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.
Repent, therefore! If you do not, I will quickly come to you, and I will wage war against them with the sword in 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.
Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To the one who conquers, I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give a white stone with a new name written on the stone, a name which no one knows but the one who receives 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;
“To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: 'These are the words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire and feet like polished bronze:
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 done: your love and faith and service and your patient endurance. I know that what you have done recently is more than you did at 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 this against you: You tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she deceives my servants to commit sexual immorality 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, but she is not willing to repent of her immorality.
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.
Look! I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great suffering, unless they repent of her deeds.
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 strike her children dead, and all the churches will know that I am the one who searches thoughts and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
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 the rest of you in Thyatira, to everyone who does not hold this teaching, and does not know what some call the deep things of Satan—to you I say, 'I do not put any other burden on you.'
25 Aka, i ka mea a oukou e paa nei, ea, e hoopaa ia mea a hiki aku au.
In any case, you must hold on tightly 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:
The one who conquers and who does what I have done until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
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 them with an iron rod, like clay jars he will break them into pieces.'
28 A na'u no e haawi ia ia i ka hokuao.
Just as I have received from my Father, I will also give 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.
Let the one who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.”'”
