Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
1E NA hoahanau o'u, aole make lilo na mea o oukou he nui i poe kumu, o loaa auanei ia kakou ka hoohewa nui ia mai.
2We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to control his whole body.
2No ka mea, ma na mea he nui ua hewa kakou a pau: i hewa ole kekahi ma kana olelo, oia ke kanaka hemolele, e hiki hoi ia ia ke hoopaa i kona kino iho a pau i ke kaulawaha.
3When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can guide the whole animal.
3Aia hoi, ke hookomo nei kakou i na kaulawaha iloko o ka waha o na lio i hoolohe mai lakou ia kakou; hoohuli ae hoi kakou i ko lakou kino a pau.
4Consider ships as well. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot is inclined.
4Aia hoi, o na moku nui, ua hooholoia ae i na makani ikaika loa, a ua hoohuliia ae hoi e ka hoeuli uuku loa, ma kahi e makemake ai o ke kahu moku.
5In the same way, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it boasts of great things. Consider how small a spark sets a great forest ablaze.
5Pela hoi, he lala unku ke alelo, a kaena nui ae la ia. Aia hoi, ua hoaaia he puu wahie nui e ka huna ahi!
6The tongue also is a fire, a world of wickedness among the parts of the body. It pollutes the whole person, sets the course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
6He ahi no ke alelo, he ao okoa ia o ka hewa; pela hoi ua kauia ke alelo iwaena o ko kakou mau lala, e hoohaumia ana i ke kino a pau, hoaa ae la ia i ko ke ao nei, a ua hoaaia mai ia e ka luaahi.
7All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man,
7Ua hoolakaia kela a me keia ano o na holoholona hihiu, a me na manu, a me na mea kolo, a me na mea hoi o ke kai, ua hoolakaia mai lakou e kanaka;
8but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
8Aka, o ke alelo, aole loa e hiki i ke kanaka ke hoolakalaka ia mea; he mea ino laka ole ia, ua piha i ka mea awahia e make ai.
9With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness.
9Oia ko kakou mea e hoomaikai aku ai i ke Akua i ka Makua; oia hoi ko kakou mea e hoino aku ai i kanaka i hanaia'i ma ke ano o ke Akua.
10Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be!
10Ua puka mai la ka hoomaikai a me ka hoino noloko mai o ka waha hookahi. E na hoahanau o'u, aole loa e pono keia mau mea pela.
11Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?
11E puapuai mai anei ka wai ono a me ka wai awaawa noloko mai o ka punawai hookahi?
12My brothers, can a fig tree grow olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
12E na hoahanau o'u, e hiki anei i ka laau fiku ke hua mai i ka hua oliva, a o ke kumu waina hoi i ka fiku? Oiaio hoi, aole e hiki i ka punawai hookahi ke kahe mai i ka wai awaawa a me ka wai ono.
13Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
13Owai la ka mea akamai a me ka naauao iwaena o oukou? E hoike mai no ia ma ka noho maikai ana, i kana hana ana me ke akahai o ka naauao.
14But if you harbor bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth.
14Ina ia oukou ka huahuwa ikaika a me ka manao hakaka iloko o ko oukou naau; mai haanui oukou, a wahahee aku i ka oiaio.
15Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
15Aole oia ke akamai i iho mai mai luna mai, aka, no ka honua ia, a no ke kino, a no na daimonio hoi.
16For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.
16No ka mea, ma kahi e huahuwa ai a e hakaka ai hoi, aia malaila ka haunaele a me na hana ino a pau.
17But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere.
17Aka, o ke akamai noluna mai, he maemae no ia mamua, alaila he noho malie, he akahai, he oluolu, he piha hoi i ka lokomaikai a me ka hua maikai, aole loa e manao ino aku, aole hoi he hookamani.
18Peacemakers who sow in peace reap the fruit of righteousness.
18A o ka hua o ka pono ua luluia me ke kuikahi e ka poe e hana ana ma ke kuikahi.
