1 Thessalonians 2
1 For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn’t in vain,
U A ike hoi oukou, e na hoahanau, i ko makou komo ana iwaena o oukou, aole ia he mea ole;
2 but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.
Aka, i ko makou eha mua ana'e me ka hoino wale ia mai, ma Pilipi, ua ike oukou, ua wiwo ole ae la makou ma ko kakou Akua i ka hai aku ia oukou i ka euanelio a ke Akua, me ka paio nui ana.
3 For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
No ka mea, aole ma ka wahahee ka makou ao ana aku, aole hoi ma ka haumia aole hoi ma ka hoopunipuni;
4 But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak—not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.
Aka, me ka haawi ana mai o ke Akua ia makou, i kauohaia mai ka euanelio ia makou, pela hoi makou e olelo aku nei; aole me he mea hoolealea la i kanaka, aka, i ke Akua, i ka mea nana ko kakou naau i hoao mai nei.
5 For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
Aole makou i lawe i na hua olelo malimali, ua ike oukou; aole hoi i ka hookohu o ka makee waiwai; o ke Akua ka mea ike.
6 nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
Aole makou i imi i ka hoonaniia mai e kanaka, aole hoi e oukou, aole hoi e hai, i ka wa pono e lilo ai makou i poe hookaumaha, me he mau lunaolelo la na Kristo.
7 But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
Ua ahonui makou iwaena o oukou, e like me ka wahine hanai la, e malama ana i kana mau keiki:
8 Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.
Oia, me ko makou aloha nui aku ia oukou, ua oluolu makou ke haawi aku, aole i ka euanelio wale no a ke Akua ia oukou, aka, i ko makou ola kekahi, no ka mea, he hiwahiwa oukou na makou.
9 For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.
Ke hoomanao nei no oukou, e na hoahanau, i ka makou hana, a me ko makou luh! ana hoi; e hana ana i ka po a me ke ao, i ole ai makou e lilo i mea e luhi ai kekahi o oukou, pela makou i hai aku ai ia oukou i ka euanelio a ke Akua.
10 You are witnesses with God how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.
O oukou ko makou poe hoike, a o ke Akua kekahi, i ka hemolele, a me ka pono, a me ka hala ole o ko makou noho ana iwaena o oukou ka poe i manaoio.
11 As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,
Ua ike hoi oukou i ko makou hooikaika ana'ku, a me ka hooluolu ana'ku, a me ke kauoha ana'ku ia oukou a pau, me he makuakane la i kana mau keiki,
12 to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.
I hele pono oukou ma ka pono o ke Akua, ka mea nana oukou i hea mai iloko o kona aupuni, a i kona nani.
13 For this cause we also thank God without ceasing that when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, God’s word, which also works in you who believe.
No ia mea hoi i hoomaikai mau aku ai makou i ke Akua, no ka mea, i ka loaa ana ia oukou o ka ke Akua olelo a oukou i lohe mai ai ia makou nei, aole oukou i apo mai ia me ho olelo la na kanaka, aka, he olelo no na ke Akua, he oiaio no ia, o ka mea i hooikaika nui iloko o oukou o ka poe i manaoio.
14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews
No ka mea, ua lilo mai oukou, e na hoahanau, i mau mea hoohalike me na ekalesia o ke Akua, ma ludea, iloko o Kristo Iesu; no ka mea, ua hoinoia mai hoi oukou e ko ka aina o oukou iho, e like me lakou e ka poe Iudaio;
15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and don’t please God, and are contrary to all men,
Ka poe i pepehi i ka Haku ia Iesu, a i ko lakou poe kaula hoi, a i alualu kolohe mai hoi ia makou; aole no e hooluolu i ke Akua, a ua ku e i na kanaka a pau.
16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.
Ua keakea mai la lakou ia makou i ka olelo aku i ko na aina e e ola'i lakou, e hoopiha mau ana i ko lakou hewa; aka, e kau mai ana ka inaina nui loa maluna iho o lakou.
17 But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,
Aka, o makou la, e na hoahanau, ua hookaawaleia mai nei mai o oukou mai la, i keia mau la, o ko makou kino, aole ka naau, ua ma kemake loa makou e ike hou aku i ko oukou mau maka, ua hooikaika nui aku ilaila.
18 because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.
No ia mea, o ko makou manao e hele aku io oukou la, owau o Paulo kekahi i keia manawa a i keia manawa; aka, ua alalai mai la o Satana ia makou.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
Heaha hoi ko makou manaolana a me ka olioli, a me ka lei e hauoli ai makou? aole anei o oukou ia, i ke alo o ko kakou Haku o Ieau Kristo i kona hiki ana mai?
20 For you are our glory and our joy.
No ka mea, o oukou no ka nani a me ka olioli o makou.
