1 John 3
1 See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.
EIA hoi, manomano ke aloha a ka Makua i haawi mai ai ia kakou, i kapaia mai ai kakou he poe keiki na ke Akua; no ia mea, aole i ike mai ko ke ao nei ia kakou, no ka mea, aole lakou i ike ia ia.
2 Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him just as he is.
E na punahele, ano la, he poe keiki kakou na ke Akua, aka, o ko kakou ano mahope aku, aole ikea ia; aka, ke ike nei kakou, a i kona wa e ikea mai ai, e like auanei kakou me ia: no ka mea, e ike kakou ia ia ma kona ano maoli.
3 Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
O ka mea i loaa ia ia keia manaolana ma ona la, oia ke hoomaemae ia ia iho e like me ko ia la maemae ana.
4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
O ka mea e hana aku ana i ka hewa, oia ka mea e haihai ana i ke kanawai; a o ka hewa, oia no ke ku e ana i ke kanawai.
5 You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.
Ua ike no oukou, ua hoikea mai oia, i lawe ae ia i ko kakou hewa: aole hewa iloko ona.
6 Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.
O ka mea e noho ana iloko ona, aole ia e hana hewa. O ka mea e hana i ka hewa, aole ia i nana ae ia ia, aole no hoi i ike ia ia.
7 Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
E na pokii, e malama i hoopunipuni ole kekahi ia oukou: o ka mea i hana i ka pono, oia ka i pono, e like me ko ia la pono ana.
8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed: that he might destroy the works of the devil.
O ka mea e hana ana i ka hewa, no ka diabolo no ia; no ka mea, ua hana hewa mau ka diabolo, mai kinohi mai. No ia mea, ua hoikea mai ke Keiki a ke Akua, i hokae aku ai oia i ka ka diabolo hana ana.
9 Whoever is born of God doesn’t commit sin, because his seed remains in him, and he can’t sin, because he is born of God.
O ka mea i hoohanauia mai e ke Akua, aole ia e hana hewa; no ka mea, ke noho mau nei kona hua iloko ona; aole e hiki ia ia ke hana hewa aku, no ka mea, ua hoohanauia mai no ia e ke Akua.
10 In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn’t do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn’t love his brother.
Malaila no i maopopo ai nakeiki a ke Akua, a me ka poe keiki na ka diabolo. O ka mea hana ole ma ka pono, aole ia na ke Akua, aole hoi ka mea aloha ole i kona hoahanau.
11 For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another—
No ka mea, eia no ka olelo a oukou i lohe ai mai kinohi mai, e aloha aku kakou i kekahi i kekahi.
12 unlike Cain, who was of the evil one and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
Aole like me Kaina, na ka mea ino no oia, a pepehi iho la ia i kona kaikaina a make. No ke aha la kela i pepehi ai ia ia? no ka mea, ua hewa kana hana iho, a na pono hoi ka kona kaikaina.
13 Don’t be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.
Mai kahaha oukou, e na hoahanau o'u, ke hoomaau mai ko ke ao nei ia oukou.
14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn’t love his brother remains in death.
Ke ike nei kakou, ua lilo ae kakou mai ka make ae i ke ola, no ka mea, ke aloha aku nei kakou i na hoahanau, O ka mea e aloha ole ana i kona hoahauau, ke noho nei oia ma ka make.
15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him. (aiōnios g166)
O ka mea e hoomaau ana i kona hoahanau, he mea pepehi kanaka ia: ua ike no oukou o ka mea pepehi kanaka, aole ke ola mau loa e noho ana iloko ona. (aiōnios g166)
16 By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
No ia mea, ua ike kakou i ke aloha, no ka mea, ua waiho iho la oia i kona ola no kakou; a he mea pono no hoi ia kakou, ke waiho ae i ko kakou ola no ka poe hoahanau.
17 But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?
O ka mea i loaa ia ia ka waiwai o keia ao, a ike ae la i ka nele o kona hoahanau, a papani ae i kona naau ia ia, pehea la ke aloha o ke Akua e noho ai iloko ona?
18 My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
E na pokii o'u, mai aloha kakou ma ka waha, aole hoi ma ke alelo wale no; aka, ma ka hana ana a me ka oiaio.
19 And by this we know that we are of the truth and persuade our hearts before him,
Ma keia mea e ike ai kakou, no ka oiaio kakou, a e hooiaio aku kakou i ko kakou mau naau imua ona.
20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
No ka mea, ina e hoohewa mai ko kakou naau ia kakou iho, ua oi aku ke Akua i ko kakou naau, a ua ike oia i na mea a pau.
21 Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have boldness toward God;
E na punahele, ina e hoohewa ole mai ko kakou naau ia kakou iho, alaila ua loaa ia kakou ka wiwo ole imua o ke Akua.
22 so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
O ka mea a kakou e noi aku ai, e loaa no ia kakou nona mai, no ka mea, ke malama nei kakou i kana mau kauoha, a ke hana nei no hoi kakou imua ona i kona mea e makemake ai.
23 This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.
Eia no kana kauoha mai, e manaoio aku kakou i ka inoa o kana Keiki o Iesu Kristo, a e aloha kekahi i kekahi, e like me ke kauoha ana i haawi mai ai ia kakou.
24 He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
O ka mea e malama aku ana i kana mau kauoha, ua noho no ia iloko ona; a ua noho mai no hoi kela iloko ona. Nolaila hoi ke ike nei kakou, ke noho mai nei oia iloko o kakou, ma ka Uhane ana i haawi mai ai no kakou.
