1Now by the mildness and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am humble when face to face with you, but bold when away.
1O WAU iho, o Paulo, ka mea haahaa i ko'u noho ana me oukou, aka, ma kahi e ua au ko'u manao ia oukou, ke noi aku nei au ia oukou ma ke akahai a me ka oluolu o Kristo.
2I beg you that when I come I may not need to be as bold as I expect toward those who presume that we live according to the flesh.
2Ke noi aku nei au, i aa ole ko'u naau me oukou, e like me ko'u manao e aa aku i kekahi poe e manao mai ana ia makou, ua holo makou mamuli o ke kino.
3For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh.
3No ka mea, ke noho nei makou me ke kino, aole nae makou e kaua aku mamuli o ke kino.
4The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
4(Aole no ke ao nei na mea kaua o ko makou kaua ana; aka, he ikaika nae i ke Akua o hoohiolo iho ai i na pakaua;)
5We tear down arguments and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
5E hoohiolo ana hoi i na manao, a me na mea kiekie a pau e hookiekie ana ae, e ku e i ka naanao o ke Akua, a e kai pio ana i na inanao a pau i ka hoolohe aku ia Kristo:
6And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as your obedience is complete.
6Ua makaukau hoi makou e hoopai aku i ka hookuli a pau, aia ku pono mai ko oukou hoolohe.
7You are looking at outward appearances. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself that we belong to Christ just as much as he does.
7Ke nana nei anei oukou i na mea ma ka helehelena? A i manao kekahi ia ia iho, ua lilo ia no Kristo, he pono no e manao hou ia ia iho, me ia i lilo ai no Kristo, pela no hoi makou i lilo ai no Kristo.
8For even if I boast somewhat excessively about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed.
8No ka mea, ina paha wau e kaena nui aku i ko makou mana a ke Akua i haawi mai ai ia makou no ke kukulu paa, aole no ka luku aku ia oukou, aole no au e hilahila:
9I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you by my letters.
9I manao ole ia mai au e hooweliweli aku ana ia oukou ma na palapala.
10For some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but his physical presence is unimpressive, and his speaking is of no account.”
10Ke olelo ae la lakou, Ua koikoi a ua ikaika kana mau palapala; aka, ua palupalu kona kino ma ke kokoke, a o kana olelo ana, oia ke hoowahawahaia.
11Such people should consider that what we are in our letters when absent, we will be in our actions when present.
11O ka mea i olelo pela, eia kana e manao pono ai; e like me ka makou olelo ana ma ka palapala ma kahi e, pela io no auanei makou e hana aku ai ma ke kokoke.
12We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they show their ignorance.
12Aole makou e hiki ke hoopili aku, aole hoi e hoohalike aku ia makou iho me kekahi poe e hoomaikai ana ia lakou iho; no ka mea, i ke ana ana ia lakou iho ma ko lakou iho, a i ka hoohalike ana ia lakou iho me ko lakou iho, aole i naauao lakou.
13We, however, will not boast beyond our limits, but only within the field of influence that God has assigned to us—a field that reaches even to you.
13Aole makou e kaena i na mea i ana ole ia, aka, e like me ke ana o ka mokuna a ke Akua i haawi mai ai, e hiki aku ana io oukou la.
14We are not overstepping our bounds, as if we had not come to you. Indeed, we were the first to reach you with the gospel of Christ.
14Aole makou i hele ma o aku o ko makou mokuna me he hiki ole aku io oukou la; aka, ua hiki aku hoi makou io oukou la me ka euanelio a Kristo.
15Neither do we boast beyond our limits in the labors of others. But we hope that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you will greatly increase as well,
15Aole no makou e kaena aku i na mea i ana ole ia maloko o na hana a hai; aka, ke manao nei makou, aia mahuahua ae ko oukou manaoio, e hoonui loa ia'e makou e oukou maloko o ko makou mokuna,
16so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. Then we will not be boasting in the work already done in another man’s territory.
16I hai aku ai makou i ka euanelio ma o aku o ko oukou wahi, aole no hoi e kaena aku i na mea i hoomakaukau e ia mai maloko o ko hai mokuna.
17Rather, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”
17A o ka mea e kaena ana, he pono no ia e kaena i ka ka Haku.
18For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
18No ka mea, aole i aponoia mai ka mea hoomaikai ia ia iho, aka, o ka mea a ka Haku i hoomaikai mai.
