1So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
1E PONO i kanaka ke manao mai ia makou, he poe lawehana no Kristo, he poe puuku hoi no na mea pohihihi o ke Akua.
2Now it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.
2Eia hoi, ua kauohaia mai na puuku, i pololei lakou.
3I care very little, however, if I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.
3He mea liilii loa ia'u, ke ahewaia mai a ke aponoia mai au e oukou, a me kanaka. He oiaio, aole au i ahewa, aole hoi i apono ia'u iho.
4My conscience is clear, but that does not vindicate me. It is the Lord who judges me.
4Aole au i ike pono i ko'u hewa, aole nae au i aponoia mai ilaila. Na ka Haku no wau e hookolokolo mai.
5Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.
5No ia mea, mai hoohewa e i kekahi mea, a hiki mai ka Haku, nana no e hoomaopopo mai na mea i hunaia o ka pouli, a e hoike mai hoi na manao o na naau; alaila e loaa mai i kela kanaka a i keia kanaka ka hoomaikaiia, mai ke Akua mai.
6Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written. Then you will not take pride in one man over another.
6E na hoahanau, no oukou no ke hoopili nei au ia mau mea io'u nei, a me Apolo; i aoia oukou ma o maua nei aole e hookiekie ka manao maluna o ka mea i palapalaia, i ole oukou e kaena aku i kekahi maluna o kekahi.
7For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?
7Owai ka mea i hoopakela ia oe? Heaha hoi kau mea i haawi ole ia mai nau? A ina i haawi wale ia mai ia, no ke aha la oe e kaena ai ia, me he mea la i haawi ole ia mai?
8Already you have all you want. Already you have become rich. Without us, you have become kings. How I wish you really were kings, so that we might be kings with you!
8Ano la, ua maona oukou, ano la, ua waiwai oukou; ua nohoalii no hoi oukou a kaawale makou; ua makemake no nae au i nohoalii io oukou, i nohoalii pu ai makou me oukou.
9For it seems to me that God has displayed us apostles at the end of the procession, like prisoners appointed for death. We have become a spectacle to the whole world, to angels as well as to men.
9No ka mea, ke manao nei au, ua hoolilo mai ke Akua ia makou i na lunaolelo, i poe lalo loa, e like me na mea i ahewaia e make. No ka mea, he poe makou i hoikeia i ko ke ao nei, a i na anela, a i na kanaka.
10We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are honored, but we are dishonored.
10He poe naaupo makou no Kristo, he poe naauao oukou iloko o Kristo; ua nawaliwali makou, ua ikaika oukou; ua mahaloia mai oukou, ua hoowahawahaia mai makou.
11To this very hour we are hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clothed, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.
11A hiki i keia hora, ua pololi makou, ua makewai, ua olohelohe, ua hana ino ia mai, ua kuewa wale no.
12We work hard with our own hands. When we are vilified, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;
12Ke hooikaika nei makou i ka hana, me ko makou lima; a ahiahiia mai, hoomaikai aku no makou: a hoomaauia mai, ua hoomanawanui no makou;
13when we are slandered, we answer gently. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.
13A i olelo hoino ia mai, nonoi aku no makou: ua hooliloia mai makou e like me ka opala o ke ao nei, a me ka pelapela o na mea a pau, a hiki i keia wa.
14I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.
14Aole au e palapala aku i keia mau mea e hoohilahila ia oukou, aka, ke ao aku nei au ia oukou, e like me a'u poe keiki aloha.
15Even if you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
15Ina paha he umi tausani kumu a oukou maloko o Kristo, aole hoi he nui na makua o oukou; no ka mea, ma ka euanelio, owau no ka mea nana oukou i hanau ai iloko o Kristo Iesu.
16Therefore I urge you to imitate me.
16Nolaila ea, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oukou, e lilo oukou i poe hoolike me au.
17That is why I have sent you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which is exactly what I teach everywhere in every church.
17No keia mea, ua hoouna aku au ia Timoteo io oukou la, oia hoi ka'u keiki aloha, ua paa loa hoi oia ma ka Haku, nana oukou e paipai aku i na aoao o'u ma o Kristo la, e like me ka'u no ana aku i na wahi a pau, i kela ekalesia i keia ekalesia.
18Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.
18Ke haanou mai nei kekahi poe me ka manao iho, aole au e hiki aku io oukou la.
19But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only what these arrogant people are saying, but what power they have.
19Aka, e hele koke aku no au io oukou la, ke ae mai ka Haku, a e ike auanei au, aole i ka olelo a ka poe i haanou, aka, i ka ikaika io.
20For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
20No ka mea, aole ma ka olelo ke aupuni o ke Akua, ma ka mana no.
21Which do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and with a gentle spirit?
21Heaha ko oukou makemake? E hele paha wau io oukou la me ka laau hahau, me ke aloha paha, a me ka manao akahai?
