1 John 2
1 My children, I am writing to you to keep you from sinning. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father – Jesus Christ, the righteous.
E A'U poe keiki aloha, ke palapala aku nei au i keia mau mea ia oukou, i ole ai oukou e hana hewa: aka, ina e lawehala kekahi, aia no ko kakou mea nana e uwao me ka Makua, o Iesu Kristo ka mea pono.
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but the sins of the whole world.
Oia no ke kalahala no ko kakou hewa; aole nae no ko kakou wale no, aka, uo ko ke ao nei a pau.
3 It is by keeping God’s commands that we can be sure we know him.
Eia ka mea e maopopo ai ia kakou ko kakou ike ana ia ia, ina e malama aku ana kakou i kana mau kauoha.
4 Whoever says ‘I know him,’ but does not keep his commands, is a liar. The truth has no place in them.
O ka mea e olelo aua, ua ike no au ia ia, a malama ole oia i kana mau kauoha, he mea wahahee ia, aole he oiaio iloko ona.
5 But the person who keeps God’s word, in them the love of God has indeed reached its perfection. This is how we can be sure we are in him:
Aka, o ka mea e malama ana i kana olelo, ua hemolele ke aloha o ke Akua iloko ona, Ma ia mea o ike ai kakou, eia no kakou iloko ona.
6 whoever claims to live in him should live just as Jesus did.
O ka mea e olelo ana, ke noho nei oia iloko ona, he mea pono nona ke hele e like me ko ia la hele ana.
7 Dear friends, it is no new command that I am writing to you, but an old command, which you have had from the beginning. That old command is the message you have already heard.
E na hoahanau, aole he kanawai hou ka'u e palapala aku nei ia oukou, aka, o ke kanawai kahiko ka mea i loaa ia oukou mai kinohi mai: o ke kanawai kahiko, oia ka olelo a oukou i lohe ai mai kinohi mai.
8 Yet, in a way, it is a new command that I am writing to you – which is shown true in Christ’s life and in yours – for the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.
He kanawai hou kekahi a'u e palapala aku nei ia oukou, he oiaio no ia iloko ona, a iloko o oukou no hoi; no ka mea, ua hala aku la ka pouli, ano la ua hiki mai nei ka malamalama oiaio.
9 The person who says that they are in the light, and yet hates others, is still in the darkness.
O ka mea e olelo ana, ma ka malamalama ia, a ua inaina aku ia i kona hoahanau, aia no ia iloko o ka pouli a hiki i keia manawa.
10 The person who loves others is always in the light, and there is nothing within them to cause them to stumble.
O ka mea e aloha aku ana i kona hoahanau, ke noho io nei no ia i ka malamalama, aohe mea hoohihia iloko ona:
11 The person who hates is in the dark. They stumble along in the darkness; they do not know where they are going because the darkness blinds them.
Aka, o ka mea e inaina aku ana i kona hoahanau, aia no ia maloko o ka pouli, a ke hele nei no ia ma ka pouli, aole ia i ike i kona wahi e hele ai, no ka mea, ua paa kona mau maka i ka pouli.
12 Little children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for Christ’s sake.
E na pokii, ke palapala aku nei au ia oukou, no ka mea, ua pau ko oukou hewa i ke kalaia no kona inoa.
13 Parents, I am writing to you because you have come to know him who has been from the beginning. Young people, I am writing to you because you have conquered the evil one. Children, I write to you because you have come to know the Father.
E na makuakane, ke palapala aku nei au ia oukou, no ka mea, ua ike aku oukou ia ia mai kinohi mai. Ke palapala aku nei au ia oukou, e na kanaka ui, no ka mea, ua lanakila oukou maluna o ka hewa E na keiki, ke palapala aku nei au ia oukou, no ka mea, ua ike oukou i ka Makua,
14 Parents, I write to you because you have learned to know him who has been from the beginning. Young people, I write to you because you are strong, and God’s message is always in your hearts, and you have conquered the evil one.
Ua palapala aku au ia oukou, e na makuakane, no ka mea, ua ike oukou ia ia mai kinohi mai. E na kanaka ui, ua palapala aku au ia oukou, no ka mea, na ikaika no oukou, ke noho la no ka olelo a ke Akua iloko o oukou, a ua lanakila no hoi oukou maluna o ka hewa.
15 Do not love the world or what the world can offer. When anyone loves the world, there is no love for the Father in them.
Mai makemake aku i ko ke ao nei, aole hoi i na mea o keia ao. Ina e makemake aku ana kekahi i ko ke ao nei, aole iloko ona ka makemake i ka Makua;
16 For all that the world can offer – the desires for physical pleasure, the enticements to the eye, the arrogance of wealth – belongs, not to the Father, but to the world.
No ka mea, o na mea a pau ma ko keia ao, o ke kuko o ke kino, a me ke kuko o ka maka, a me ka hoohanohano o keia ola ana, aole ia no ka Makua mai, aka, no ke ao nei no ia.
17 And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but they who do God’s will remain for ever. (aiōn g165)
A o ke ao nei, ke panee aku nei a me na kuko ona: aka, o ka mea e hana ana i ko ke Akua makemake, e mau loa ana no ia. (aiōn g165)
18 My children, it is the last hour. You were told that an antichrist was coming; and many antichrists have already arisen. This is why we know that this is the last hour.
E na kamalii uuku, eia ka hope o ka manawa. Me ko oukou lohe ana i ka hiki ana mai o Anikristo, pela no e noho nei na Anikristo he nui; no ia mea, ua ike no kakou o ka hope keia o ka mauawa.
19 These people come from our ranks, but they were never truly part of us – if they had been then they would have stayed with us. They left so it would be clear that none of them really belonged to us.
Hele aku lakou mai o kakou aku, aka, aole loa lakou no kakou; no ka mea, ina lakou no kakou, ina ua noho lakou me kakou: aka, hele lakou i maopopo ai, aole lakou a pau no kakou.
20 You, however, have been annointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth.
Ua poniia oukou e ka Mea Hemolele, a ua ike oukou i na mea a pau.
21 I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie can come from the truth.
Aole au i palapala aku ia oukou no ko oukou ike ole ana i ka oiaio, aka, no ko oukou ike ana, a no ia hoi, aohe mea wahahee no ka oiaio mai.
22 Who is a liar, if not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? That person is the antichrist – one who rejects the Father and the Son.
Owai la ka mea wahahee ke ole ka mea e hoole ana, aole o Iesu ka Mesia? O ka mea e hoole ana i ka Makua a me ke Keiki, oia no ke Anikristo.
23 No one who rejects the Son has the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father also.
O na mea a pau e hoole aku ana i ke Keiki, aole no lakou ka Makua; aka, o ka mea e hooiaio ana i ke Keiki, nona no ka Makua.
24 As for you, you must let what you have heard from the beginning continue to live in you. If what you heard from the beginning dwells in you, you will remain both in the Son and the Father.
Ka mea a oukou i lohe ai mai kinohi mai, o hooraau ia mea iloko o oukou: ina e noho mau iloko o oukou ka mea a oukou i lohe ai mai kinohi mai, alaila e noho oukou iloko o ke Keiki a iloko o ka Makua.
Eia ka olelo ana i olelo mua mai ai ia kakou, o ke ola mau loa. (aiōnios g166)
26 In writing this to you, I have in mind those who are trying to mislead you.
Ua palapala aku au ia oukou i keia mau mea no ka poe e hoowalewale ana ia oukou.
27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains with you. You do not need anyone to teach you. His anointing teaches you about everything. What it teaches you is true, it is not a lie. Do what it has taught you: abide in him.
Ke noho nei no iloko o oukou ka poniia mai o oukou e ia, aole hoi a oukou mea hemahema e ao aku ai kekahi ia oukou: aka, me ia poni ana i ao mai ai ia oukou i na mea a pau, a oia ka mea oiaio, aole wahahee ia; e like me kana ao ana mai ia oukou, pela e noho aku ai oukou iloko ona.
28 Yes, my children, remain in him, so that when he appears our confidence doesn’t fail us, and we are not ashamed to meet him at his coming.
Ano la, e na keiki aloha, e noho oukou iloko ona; i wiwo ole ai kakou i kona wa e ikea mai ai, i ole ai kakou e hilahila imua ona, i kona hele ana mai.
29 Since you know he is righteous, you realise that everyone who does what is right is his child.
Ina i ike oukou, he pono oia, ke ike nei no hoi oukou, ua hoohanauia mai e ia na mea a pau e hana ana i ka pono.
