Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you abound more and more.
1EIA hou neia, e na hoahanau, ke nonoi aku nei makou me ka hooikaika aku ia oukou ma o Iesu Kristo la, e like me ka pono a oukou i lohe mai ai ia makou e hele ai oukou, a e hooluolu ai i ke Akua, pela hoi oukou e hoomahuahua mau aku ai.
2For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
2Ua ike hoi oukou i na kauoha a makou i haawi aku ai ia oukou ma ka Haku, ma o Iesu la.
3For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,
3Eia hoi ka makemake o ke Akua, o ko oukou maemae ana, i haalele loa oukou i ka moe kolohe;
4that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor,
4I ike hoi oukou a pau i ka malama i kana ipu ae, a i kana ipu ae, me ka maemae a me ka maikai.
5not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God,
5Aole ma ke kuko ino wale, e like me na lahuikanaka, ka poe ike ole i ke Akua,
6that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.
6Aole make hoopoho kekahi, aole ka hoomake hewa i ka kona hoahanau i kekahi mea; no ka mea, o ka Haku ka mea nana ia poe e hoopai mai, oia ka makou i hai mua aku ai me ka hoike e aku ia oukou.
7For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.
7Aole ke Akua i hea mai ia kakou no ka haumia, aka, no ka hemolele no.
8Therefore he who rejects this doesn’t reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.
8O ka mea hoi i hoowahawaha mai, aole ia i hoowahawaha i ke kanaka, i ke Akua no nana i haawi mai i kona Uhane Hemolele ia makou.
9But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,
9A o ke aloha hoahanau hoi, aole o oukou hemahema e pono ai au ke palapala aku ia oukou; no ka mea, ua aoia mai oukou e ke Akua e aloha i kekahi i kekahi
10for indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more;
10Oia hoi, o ka oukou ia e hana'i i na hoahanau a pau ma Makedonia a puni; a, ke nonoi aku nei makou ia oukou, e na hoahanau, e hoomahuahua nui ae oukou.
11and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you,
11A e imi oukou e noho malie me ka hana aku i ka oukou hana iho, a, me ko oukou mau lima iho e hana'i, e like me ka makou kauoha ana'ku ia oukou;
12that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.
12I pono ka oukou hele ana imua o ka poe o waho, a i nele ole hoi oukou i kekahi mea.
13But we don’t want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don’t grieve like the rest, who have no hope.
13Aole hoi au i makemake, e na hoahanau, e naaupo oukou no ka poe i hiamoe, i ole ai oukou e kumakena, e like me ka poe manaolana ole.
14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
14No ka mea, ina i manaoio kakou, na make aku la o Iesu, a ua ala hou mai, pela no hoi ke Akua e lawe pu mai ai me ia i ka poe e hiamoe aua iloko o Iesu.
15For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep.
15Eia ka makou e olelo aku nei ia oukou ma ka olelo a ka Haku, o kakou ka poe e ola ana i ka hiki ana mai o ka Haku, aole kakou e hiki e aku mamua o ka poe e hiamoe ana.
16For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with God’s trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first,
16No ka mea, e iho io mai no ka Haku mai ka lani mai, me ka hooho, a me ka leo o ka luna auela, a me ka pu a ke Akua; a o ka poe make iloko o Kristo ke ala e mai.
17then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.
17Alaila e kaili pu ia'ku kakou ka poe i koe e ola okoa ana, me lakou, iloko o na ao kaalelewa e halawai pu me ka Haku, i ka lewa; oia hoi, e mau loa ana ko kakou noho ana me ka Haku.
18Therefore comfort one another with these words.
18Nolaila hoi e hooluolu oukou i kekahi i kekahi ma keia mau huaolelo.
