Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Therefore, since God in His mercy has given us this ministry, we do not lose heart.
1NO ia hoi, no ka loaa ana mai o keia oihana ia makou ma ka lokomaikaiia mai, aole o makou manaka.
2Instead, we have renounced secret and shameful ways. We do not practice deceit, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by open proclamation of the truth, we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
2Aka, ua kipaku aku makou i na mea huna e hilahila ai, aole makou i hele me ka maalea, aole hoi i nana i ka olelo a ke Akua me ka hoopunipuni; aka, ma ka hoakaka ana'ku i ka oiaio, ke hoike nei makou ia makou iho i na naau a pau o kanaka, he pono imua o ke Akua.
3And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.
3A i uhiia ka makou euanelio, ua uhiia oia no ka poe e lilo ana i ka make.
4The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
4Ma o lakou la, ua hoomakapo mai ko keia ao akua i na naau o ka poe hoomaloka, o akaka mai auanei ia lakou ka malamalama o ka euanelio nani a Kristo; oia ko ke Akua mea like.
5For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.
5No ka mea, aole makou e hai aku ia makou iho, aka, ia Kristo Iesu i ka Haku: a ia makou iho he mau kauwa na oukou no Iesu.
6For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
6No ka mea, o ke Akua nana i kena ka malamalama e poha mai noloko mai o ka pouli, oia ka i hoomalamalama mai iloko o ko makou naau, i malamalama i ikea ka nani o ko Akua ma ka maka o Iesu Kristo.
7Now we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us.
7Ia makou no keia waiwai iloko o na ipu lepo, i ikea ka mana nui, no ke Akua ia, aole no makou.
8We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;
8Ua hookeia mai makou a puni, aole nae i pilikia; ua lauwiliia mai makou, aole hoi i pilihua.
9persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.
9Ua hoomaauia mai makou, aole nae i haaleleia; ua kulaina mai makou, aole hoi i make.
10We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
10E lawe mau ana makou ma ke kino i ka make ana o ka Haku o Iesu, i hoikeia hoi ke ola ana o Iesu ma ko makou kino.
11For we who are alive are always consigned to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal body.
11No ka mea, o makou ka poe e ola nei, ua haawi mau ia'ku makou e make no Iesu, i hoikeia hoi ke ola ana o Iesu ma ko makou kino make.
12So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
12Nolaila, ke hooikaika nei ka make iloko o makou, a o ke ola iloko o oukou.
13And in keeping with what is written: “I believed, therefore I have spoken,” we who have the same spirit of faith also believe and therefore speak,
13No ka ikaika like o ko makou manaoio, me ka mea i palapalaia, Ua manaoio iho la au, nolaila au i olelo aku ai; ke manaoio nei no hoi makou, nolaila makou e olelo aku nei:
14knowing that the One who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in His presence.
14Ke ike nei makou, o ka mea nana i hoala mai ka Haku o Iesu, e hoala mai no hoi oia ia makou ma o Iesu la, a e hoike pu ae ia makou me oukou.
15All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is extending to more and more people may overflow in thanksgiving, to the glory of God.
15No ka mea, no oukou ia mau mea a pau, i hoonui ae ka lokomaikai nui i ka nani o ke Akua, ma ka hoomaikai ana'ku o na mea he nui.
16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day.
16No ia mea, aole o makou manaka; aka, ina paha ua nawaliwali iho ko makou kino mawaho, ua hooikaika mau ia no nae ko loko, i kela la i keia la.
17For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal glory that is far beyond comparison.
17No ka mea, o ko makou hoino nuku pokole wale ia no, ke hana mai nei no ia i ka nani nui mau loa no makou:
18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
18I ko makou manao ole ana i na mea i ike maka ia, i na mea no i ike maka ole ia: no ka mea, he pokole na mea i ike maka ia; aka, he mau loa na mea i ike maka ole ia.
