Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you?
1E HOOMAKA hou anei makou e hoomaikai aku ia makou iho? a e hemahema anei makou e like me kekahi poe i na palapala hoike ia oukou, a i na palapala hoike mai o oukou mai?
2You yourselves are our letter, inscribed on our hearts, known and read by everyone.
2O oukou no ka makou palapala i kakauia maloko o ko makou naau, i ikeia a i heluheluia e na kanaka a pau.
3It is clear that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
3No ka mea, ua hoike akaka ia, o oukou no ka Kristo palapala a makou i hana'i, i kakauia aole me ka inika, aka, me ka Uhane o ke Akua ola; aole maloko o na papa pohaku aka, maloko o na papa io o ka naau.
4Such confidence before God is ours through Christ.
4Pela ko makou manao maopopo i ke Akua ma o Kristo la:
5Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim that anything comes from us, but our competence comes from God.
5Aole hoi e hiki ia makou kekahi mea ma ko makou noonoo ana, o makou wale; aka, o ke Akua no ko makou mea e hiki ai.
6And He has qualified us as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
6Oia ka i hoomakaukau ia makou i kahuna no ke kauoha hou, aole ma ke kanawai, aka, ma ka Uhane: no ka mea, ke pepehi mai nei ke kanawai, a ke hoola mai nei ka Uhane.
7Now if the ministry of death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at the face of Moses because of its fleeting glory,
7Ina paha ua nani ka oihana no ka make i kakauia maloko o na pohaku me na huaolelo, i hiki ole i na mamo a Iseraela ke haka pono aku i ka maka o Mose, no ke alohi o kona maka, ka mea e nalowale ana;
8will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?
8Aole anei e oi nui aku ka nani o ka oihana o ka Uhane?
9For if the ministry of condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry of righteousness!
9No ka mea, ina paha he nani ko ka oihana hoohewa, he oiaio no, ua pakela aku ka nani o ka oihana hoapono.
10Indeed, what was once glorious has no glory now in comparison to the glory that surpasses it.
10No keia mea, aohe nani o kela mea i hoouaniia pela, no keia pakela nani.
11For if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which endures!
11Ina he nani ko kela mea i hoonalowaleia; oiaio, he nani ko ka mea e mau loa aku ana.
12Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.
12No ia hoi, no ka loaa ana mai ia makou keia manaolana, he olelo wiwo ole ka makou:
13We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at the end of what was fading away.
13Aole like me Mose i uhi iho ai i kona maka i ka pale, i hiki ole i na mamo a Iseraela ke nana pono i ka hope o ua mea la e nalowale ana:
14But their minds were closed. For to this day the same veil remains at the reading of the old covenant. It has not been lifted, because only in Christ can it be removed.
14Aka, ua hoopouliia ko lakou naau; no ka mea, a hiki i neia manawa, i ka heluhelu ana i ke kauoha kahiko, ua koe no ka pale, aole i weheia; ua pau no hoi ia mea ia Kristo.
15And even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.
15A i neia manawa, i ka heluhelu ana i ka Mose, e kau ana no ua pale la maluna o ko lakou naau.
16But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
16Aia huli mai ia i ka Haku, alaila e laweia aku no ua pale la.
17Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
17A o ka Haku, oia ka Uhane: a ma kahi e noho ai ka Uhane o ka Haku, ua noa ia wahi.
18And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into His image with intensifying glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
18Aka, me ka maka i uhi ole ia, ke ike aku nei makou a pau i ka nani o ka Haku, e like me ke aka ma ke aniani, a ua hoano hou ia makou ma ka like ana o ua aka la, ma ka nani e mahuahua ana, e ko ka Haku nona ka Uhane.
