< Hoikeana 1 >
1 KA hoikeana a Iesu Kristo, ka mea a ke Akua i haawi mai ai ia ia, e hoike mai i kana poe kauwa i na mea e hiki koke mai ana; a ma kona anela i hoouna mai ai oia, a hoike mai la hoi i kana kauwa ia Ioane:
The revelation given by Jesus Christ, which God granted Him, that He might make known to His servants certain events which must shortly come to pass: and He sent His angel and communicated it to His servant John.
2 Nana no i hoike i ka olelo a ke Akua, a me na mea a Iesu Kristo i ao mai ai, a me na mea a pau ana i ike aku ai.
This is the John who taught the truth concerning the Word of God and the truth told us by Jesus Christ-- a faithful account of what he had seen.
3 Pomaikai ka mea heluhelu a me ka poe lohe i na olelo o keia wanana, a malama hoi i na mea i palapalaia maloko; no ka mea, ua kokoke mai ka manawa.
Blessed is he who reads and blessed are those who listen to the words of this prophecy and lay to heart what is written in it; for the time for its fulfillment is now close at hand.
4 N A IOANE aku i na ekalesia ehiku ma Asia: E alohaia mai oukou, a e maluhia hoi i ka mea e noho ana, ka mea mamua hoi, ka mea e hiki mai ana; a i na Uhane ehiku e noho la ma ke alo o kona nohoalii;
John sends greetings to the seven Churches in the province of Asia. May grace be granted to you, and peace, from Him who is and was and evermore will be; and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne;
5 A ia Iesu Kristo ka mea hoike ma ka pololei a me ka oiaio, o ka makahiapo o ka poe mai ka make mai, a o ke alii o na'lii o ka honua nei. I ka mea aloha mai ia kakou, a holoi mai hoi ia kakou, i pau ko kakou hewa i kona koko iho,
and from Jesus Christ, the truthful witness, the first of the dead to be born to Life, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins with His own blood,
6 A i hoolilo mai ia kakou he aupuni, a he mau kahuna hoi no ke Akua no kona Makua; ia ia ka hoonaniia a me ka hoomanaia, a i ke ao pau ole. Amene. (aiōn )
and has formed us into a Kingdom, to be priests to God, His Father--to Him be ascribed the glory and the power until the Ages of the Ages. Amen. (aiōn )
7 Aia hoi ke hele mai la ia me na ao; a e ike aku na maka a pau ia ia, a o ka poe hoi nana ia i o aku; a ia ia no e uwe ai na ohana a pau o ka honua. Oia, Amene.
He is coming in the clouds, and every eye will see Him, and so will those who pierced Him; and all the nations of the earth will gaze on Him and mourn. Even so. Amen.
8 Ke i mai nei ka Haku, Owau no ka Alepa a me ka Omega, ke kumu a me ka welau, ka mea e noho ana, ka mea mamua hoi, o ka mea e hiki mai ana no, o ka mea mana loa.
"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "He who is and was and evermore will be--the Ruler of all."
9 Owan, o Ioane nei, o ko oukou hoahanau, a o ko oukou hoa maloko o ka pilikia, a maloko o ke aupuni a me ke ahonui o Iesu Kristo, i noho au ma ka mokupuni, i kapaia o Patemosa, no ka olelo a ke Akua, a no ka hoike ana ia Iesu Kristo.
I John, your brother, and a sharer with you in the sorrows and Kingship and patient endurance of Jesus, found myself in the island of Patmos, on account of the Word of God and the truth told us by Jesus.
10 A i ka la o ka Haku, hihio no wau i ka Uhane, a lohe iho la i ka leo nui mahope o'u, e like me ko ka pu puhi,
In the Spirit I found myself present on the day of the Lord, and I heard behind me a loud voice which resembled the blast of a trumpet.
11 I mai la, Owau no ka Alepa a me ka Omega, ka mua a me ka hope; O ka mea au i ike ai, e palapala iho oe ma ka buke, a e hoouna aku i na ekalesia ehiku ma Asia; ma Epeso, a ma Semurena, a ma Peregamo, a ma Tuateira, a ma Saredeisa, a ma Piladelepia, a ma Laodikeia.
It said, "Write forthwith in a roll an account of what you see, and send it to the seven Churches--to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyateira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea."
12 Huli ae la au e ike i ka leo i kamailio mai ia'u; a i ko'u huli ana, ike aku la au i na ipukukui gula ehiku;
I turned to see who it was that was speaking to me; and then I saw seven golden lampstands,
13 A mawaena pono o na ipukukui ehiku, he mea e like me ke Keiki a ke kanaka, ua aahuia a hiki ilalo i na wawae, a ua kaeiia ma ka umauma i ke kaei gula.
and in the center of the lampstands some One resembling the Son of Man, clothed in a robe which reached to His feet, and with a girdle of gold across His breast.
14 A o kona poo a me kona oho, ua keokeo e like me ka hulu hipa keokeo, me he hau la; a o kona mau maka, ua like me ka lapalapa o ke ahi;
His head and His hair were white, like white wool--as white as snow; and His eyes resembled a flame of fire.
15 A o kona mau wawae, ua like me ko keleawe melemele maikai, me he mea la e lapalapa ana i ka umu ahi; a o kona leo hoi, ua like me ka halulu ana o na wai he nui.
His feet were like silver-bronze, when it is white-hot in a furnace; and His voice resembled the sound of many waters.
16 Ua paa hoi iloko o kona lima akau na hoku ehiku; a puka aku la mawaho o kona waha he pahikaua makalua, oi loa; a o kona helehelena, ua like ia me ka la e lilelile ana i kona ikaika.
In His right hand He held seven stars, and a sharp, two-edged sword was seen coming from His mouth; and His glance resembled the sun when it is shining with its full strength.
17 A ike aku la au ia ia, hina iho la au ma kona wawae me he mea make la: kau mai la oia i kona lima akau maluna iho o'u, i mai la ia'u, Mai makau. Owau no ka mea mua a me ka mea hope:
When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as if I were dead. But He laid His right hand upon me and said, "Do not be afraid: I am the First and the Last, and the ever-living One.
18 A owau no ka mea ola, i make au mamua; aka, e ola mau ana au ia kau aku ia kau aku, Amene; a eia uo ia'u na ki o gehena a me ka make. (aiōn , Hadēs )
I died; but I am now alive until the Ages of the Ages, and I have the keys of the gates of Death and of Hades! (aiōn , Hadēs )
19 Nolaila e palapala oe i na mea au i ike ai, i na mea o keia manawa, a me na mea e hiki mai ana ma keia hope aku;
Write down therefore the things you have just seen, and those which are now taking place, and those which are soon to follow:
20 I ka mea pohihihi o na hoku ehiku au i ike ai ma ko'u lima akau, a me na ipu gula ehiku. O na hoku ehiku, o lakou na anela o ua mau ekalesia la ehiku; a o na ipukukui ehiku, oia no ua poe ekalesia ehiku la.
the secret meaning of the seven stars which you have seen in My right hand, and of the seven lampstands of gold. The seven stars are the ministers of the seven Churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven Churches.
