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 minister of the Church in Ephesus write as follows: "'This is what He who holds the seven stars in the grasp of His right hand says--He who walks to and fro among the seven lampstands 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 your doings and your toil and patient suffering. And I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, but have put to the test those who say that they themselves are Apostles but are not, and you have found them to be liars.
3 He ahonui kou, a ua hoomanawanui no hoi oe ma ko'u inoa, aole i paupauaho.
And you endure patiently and have borne burdens for My sake and have never grown weary.
4 He mea no nae ka'u ia oe, no ka mea, ua haalele oe i kou aloha mua.
Yet I have this against you--that you no longer love Me as you did at first.
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.
Be mindful, therefore, of the height from which you have fallen. Repent at once, and act as you did at first, or else I will surely come and remove your lampstand out of its place--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.
Yet this you have in your favor: you hate the doings of the Nicolaitans, 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 all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. To him who overcomes I will give the privilege of eating the fruit of 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 minister of the Church at Smyrna write as follows: "'This is what the First and the Last says--He who died and has returned 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.
Your sufferings I know, and your poverty--but you are rich--and the evil name given you by those who say that they themselves are Jews, and are not, but are 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.
Dismiss your fears concerning all that you are about to suffer. I tell you that the Devil is about to throw some of you into prison that you may be put to the test, and for ten days you will have to endure persecution. Be faithful to the End, even if you have to die, and then I will give you the victor's Wreath 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 all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. He who overcomes shall be in no way 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 minister of the Church at Pergamum write as follows: "'This is what He who has the sharp, two-edged sword says. I know where you dwell.
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.
Satan's throne is there; and yet you are true to Me, and did not deny your faith in Me, even in the days of Antipas My witness and faithful friend, who was put to death among you, in the place where Satan dwells.
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.
Yet I have a few things against you, because you have with you some that cling to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling-block in the way of the descendants of Israel--to eat what had been sacrificed to idols, and 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 even you have some that cling in the same way 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, at once; or else I will come to you quickly, and will make war upon them with the sword which is 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 all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. He who overcomes--to him I will give some of the hidden Manna, and a white stone; and--written upon the stone and known only to him who receives it-- a new name.'
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 minister of the Church at Thyateira write as follows: "'This is what the Son of God says--He who has eyes like a flame of fire, and feet resembling silver-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 your doings, your love, your faith, your service, and your patient endurance; and that of late you have toiled harder 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.
Yet I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and by her teaching leads astray My servants, so that they commit fornication and eat what has been 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 have given her time to repent, but she is determined 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.
I tell you that I am about to cast her upon a bed of sickness, and I will severely afflict those who commit adultery with her, unless they repent of conduct such as hers.
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.
Her children too shall surely die; and all the Churches shall come to know that I am He who searches into men's inmost thoughts; and to each of you I will give a requital which shall be in accordance with what your conduct has been.
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, the rest of you in Thyateira, all who do not hold this teaching and are not the people who have learnt the "deep things," as they call them (the deep things of Satan!) --to you I say that I lay no other burden on you.
25 Aka, i ka mea a oukou e paa nei, ea, e hoopaa ia mea a hiki aku au.
Only that which you already possess, cling to 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 to him who overcomes and obeys My commands to the very end, I will give authority over the nations of the earth.
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 be their shepherd, ruling them with a rod of iron, just as earthenware jars are broken to pieces; and his power over them shall be like that which I Myself have received from My Father;
28 A na'u no e haawi ia ia i ka hokuao.
and I will 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 all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.'
