Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you yourselves not my workmanship in the Lord?
1A OLE anei au he lunaolelo? Aole anei au ho kanaka kuokoa? Aole anei au i ike ia Iesu Kristo, i ko kakou Haku? Aole anei oukou ka'u i hana maloko o ka Haku?
2Even if I am not an apostle to others, surely I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
2Ina aole au he lunaolelo ia hai, he oiaio no, ia oukou no; no ka mea, o oukou no ka hoailona o ka'u lunaolelo ana maloko o ka Haku.
3This is my defense to those who scrutinize me:
3Eia ka'u olelo i ka poe hoohewa mai ia'u.
4Have we no right to food and to drink?
4Aole anei e pono ia makou ke ai a me ka inu?
5Have we no right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas?
5Aole anei e pono ia makou, ke kono mai i kaikuwahine, a i wahine na makou, e like me kekahi o na lunaolelo, a me na kaikuaana o ka Haku, a me Kepa?
6Or are Barnabas and I the only apostles who must work for a living?
6O maua wale no a me Barenaba, aole anei e hiki ia maua ke hooki i ka hana?
7Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not drink of its milk?
7Owai ka mea hele i ke kaua me ka uku ole ia mai? Owai ka mea kanu i ka malawaina, a ai ole i kona hua? Owai hoi ka i hanai i na holoholona, a ai ole i ka waiu o na holoholona?
8Do I say this from a human perspective? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing?
8He olelo kanaka anei keia mea a'u e olelo nei? Aole anei i olelo mai ke kanawai i keia mau mea?
9For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” Is it about oxen that God is concerned?
9No ka mea, ua palapalaia mai ma ke kanawai o Mose, Mai hoopani i ka waha o ka bipi nana e hehi i ka palaoa. Ke malama nei anei ke Akua i na bipi?
10Isn’t He actually speaking on our behalf? Indeed, this was written for us, because when the plowman plows and the thresher threshes, they should also expect to share in the harvest.
10Ke olelo mai nei anei oia ia mea no kakou wale no? Ua palapalaia no kakou no, i lana ai ka manao o ka mea mahiai i kona mahi ai ana; a o ka mea hoiliili me ka manaolana e loaa ia ia ka mea i lana ai kona manao.
11If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much for us to reap a material harvest from you?
11Ina makou i lulu aku i ko ka Uhane maluna o oukou, he mea nui anei ke hoiliili makou i ko oukou mea na ke kino?
12If others have this right to your support, shouldn’t we have it all the more? But we did not exercise this right. Instead, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.
12Ina i loaa keia pono maluna o oukou na kekahi poe e, aole anei he oiaio, na makou kekahi? Aole nae makou i lawe i keia pono; ua hoomanawanui no makou i na mea a pau, o keakeaia ka euanelio a Kristo ia makou.
13Do you not know that those who work in the temple eat of its food, and those who serve at the altar partake of its offerings?
13Aole anei oukou i ike i ka poe hana ma na mea laa, ua ai lakou i na mea laa? a me ka poe lawelawe ma ke kuahu, ua ai lakou i ko ko kuahu?
14In the same way, the Lord has prescribed that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.
14Pela no hoi i kauoha mai ai ka Haku, o ka poe hai aku i ka euanelio, e ola no lakou ma ka euanelio.
15But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this to suggest that something be done for me. Indeed, I would rather die than let anyone nullify my boast.
15Aole hoi au i lawe i kekahi o keia mau mea; aole hoi au i palapala aku i keia, i hanaia mai ia'u pela; no ka mea, he mea maikai ia'u ka make, he mea ino ke hoonele mai kekahi ia'u i keia kaena ana.
16Yet when I preach the gospel, I have no reason to boast, because I am obligated to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!
16A ina i hai aku au i ka euanelio, aole i loaa ia'u ka mea e kaena ai; no ka mea, ua kauia mai keia hana maluna o'u; auwe hoi au, ke hai ole aku au i ka euanelio.
17If my preaching is voluntary, I have a reward. But if it is not voluntary, I am still entrusted with a responsibility.
17A ina e hana au i keia mea me ka makemake, ua loaa ia'u ka uku; aka, ina me ka makemake ole, ua haawiia mai he oihana na'u.
18What then is my reward? That in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not use up my rights in preaching it.
18Heaha hoi ka'u e ukuia mai? Eia, i ka'u ao ana aku, hai aku no au i ka euanelio a Kristo me ka uku ole ia mai, o lawe hewa au i ka'u pono ma ka euanelio.
19Though I am free of obligation to anyone, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.
19He kanaka kuokoa an, aka hoi, na hookauwa aka no wau na na kanaka a pau, i loaa nui mai lakou ia'u.
20To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), to win those under the law.
20A iwaena au o na Iudaio, ua like au me ka Iudaio, i loaa'i ia'u na Iudaio: a iwaena au o ka poe ma ke kanawai, ma ke kanawai hoi au, i loaa'i ia'u ka poe ma ke kanawai.
21To those without the law I became like one without the law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to win those without the law.
21A iwaena au o ka poe kanawai ole, na like hoi au me ka mea kanawai ole, i loaa'i ia'u ka poe ka nawai ole. (Aole hoi au i haalele i ko ke Akua kanawai, ma ke kanawai o Kristo waa.)
22To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.
22Iwaena au o ka poe makau wale, ua like me ka mea makau wale hoi wau, i loaa'i ia'u ka poe makau wale Iwaena o na kanaka a pau, lilo ae la au i na mea a pau, i ola io ai kekahi ia'u.
23I do all this for the sake of the gospel, so that I may share in its blessings.
23Ke hana nei no hoi au i keia, no ka euanelio, i loaa pu ai ia'a ko laila hope.
24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize.
24Aole anei oukou i ike i ka poe kukini, holo no lakou a pau, aka, hookahi wale no e loaa ka uku? Ma ka loaa oukou e kukini ai.
25Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is perishable, but we do it for a crown that is imperishable.
25O ka poe a pau i hooikaika i ka uku, ua pakiko no lakou ma na mea a pau. Ma ka lei mae wale lakou; aka, ma ka lei mae ole kakou.
26Therefore I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like I am beating the air.
26No ia mea, ke holo nei au me ke kulanalana ole; ke mokomoko nei au, aole hoi e like me ka mea e mokomoko ana i ka makani.
27No, I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
27Ke uumi nei au i kuu kino a lanakila maluna iho, o lilo paha wau i ke apono ole ia, mahope o kuu ao ana aku ia hai.
