1What, then, is the advantage of being a Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?
1NO ia hoi, heaha anei ka mea e oi aku ai ka Iudaio? Heaha hoi ka pomaikai o ke okipoepoe ana?
2Much in every way. First of all, they have been entrusted with the very words of God.
2He nui no ma kela mea, ma keia mea; eia hoi ka mua, ua haawiia mai ia lakou na kanawai o ke Akua.
3What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness?
3Heaha hoi i manaoio ole kekahi poe? E hiolo anei ka oiaio o ke Akua i ko lakou hoomaloka?
4Certainly not! Let God be true and every man a liar. As it is written: “So that You may be proved right when You speak and victorious when You judge.”
4Aole loa ia; aka, e hooiaioia ku ke Akua ke hoopunipuni na kanaka a pau: me ka mea i palapalaia, I hoaponoia'i oe i kau olelo ana mai, a i lanakila hoi oe i kou hoahewa ana mai.
5But if our unrighteousness highlights the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to inflict His wrath on us? I am speaking in human terms.
5A ina e hoakaka ae ko kakou hewa i ka pono o ke Akua, heaha ka kakou mea e olelo ai? He pono ole anei ke Akua ke hooili mai i ka inaina? (ke olelo nei au ma ka ke kanaka;)
6Certainly not! In that case, how could God judge the world?
6Aole loa: ina pela, pehea la e hoopai mai ai ke Akua i ko ke ao nei?
7However, if my falsehood accentuates God’s truthfulness, to the increase of His glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?
7A ina i lilo ka oiaio o ke Akua i mea e nui ai kona nani, no ko'u hoopunipuni ana; no ke aha la e hoohewaia mai ai au e like me ke kanaka hewa?
8Why not say, as some slanderously claim that we say, “Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is deserved!
8E olelo anei kakou, e like me ka makou i olelo ino ia mai ai, a e like me ka kekahi poe i olelo no makou, E hana hewa kakou e hiki mai ai ka maikai? He pono ko lakou hoohewaia.
9What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin.
9Heaha hoi? ua oi aku anei kakou? Aole loa; no ka mea, ua hoakaka makou mamua, O na Iudaio a me na Helene, ua pau pu lakou i ka hewa;
10As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one.
10E like me ka mea i palapalaia, Aole loa he mea pono, aole hookahi.
11There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.
11Aole no he mea i ike, aole hoi he mea i imi i ke Akua.
12All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”
12Ua pau lakou i ka hele hewa, ua lilo lakou i poe pono ole; aole loa he mea e hana ana i ka maikai, aole loa hookaki.
13“Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The venom of vipers is on their lips.”
13O ko lakou kaniai he lua kupapau hamama; ua hoopunipuni lakou me ko lakou mau alelo; aia malalo o ko lakou mau lehelehe ka mea make a na moonihoawa.
14“Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
14Ua piha ko lakou waha i ka hailili a me ka mea awahia.
15“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
15Ua mama ko lakou mau wawae i ka hookahe koko.
16ruin and misery lie in their wake,
16Aia ma ko lakou mau alanui ka luku ana a me ka popilikia.
17and the way of peace they have not known.”
17Aole hoi lakou i ike i ke alanui e malu ai.
18“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
18Aole he weliweli i ke Akua imua o ko lakou mau maka.
19Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.
19Ua ike no kakou, o na mea a ke kanawai i olelo mai ai, ua olelo no ia i ka poe malalo o ke kanawai; i paa na waha a pau, a i lilo hoi ko ke ao nei a pau i hewa imua o ke Akua.
20Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.
20Nolaila ma ka hana ana ma ke kanawai, aohe kanaka e hoaponoia imua ona; no ka mea, ma ke kanawai ka ike ana i ka hewa.
21But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, as attested by the Law and the Prophets.
21Ano hoi, ua hoakakaia mai ko ke Akua hoapono ana aole ma ke kanawai; ua hoikeia mai ia e ke kanawai a me na kaula.
22And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction,
22Oia hoi ka hoapono ana o ke Akua, ma ka manaoio aku ia Iesu Kristo, no na mea a pau, a maluna hoi o ka poe a pau e manaoio ana; aole mea okoa;
23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
23No ka mea, ua lawehala na mea a pau, ua nele hoi i ka nani o ke Akua.
24and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
24Ua hoapono wale ia mai ma kona lokomaikai, no ka hoola ana ma o Kristo Iesu la;
25God presented Him as the atoning sacrifice through faith in His blood, in order to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance He had passed over the sins committed beforehand.
25Oia ka ke Akua i haawi mai ai i mohaikalahewa ma ka hilinai i kona koko, i mea e hoakaka ai i kona hoapono ana, i ke kala ana i na hewa i hana e ia mamua, i ke ahonui ana o ke Akua;
26He did this to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and to justify the one who has faith in Jesus.
26I mea e hoakaka ai i kona hoapono ana, i keia manawa; i pono oia, a i mea hoapono hoi i ka mea manaoio ia Iesu.
27Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of works? No, but on that of faith.
27Anhea la hoi ke kaena ana? Ua paleia'ku ia. Ma ke kanawai hea? O na hana anei? Aole; ma ke kanawai no hoi o ka manaoio ana.
28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
28Nolaila, ke manao nei makou, ua hoaponoia mai ke kanaka ma ka manaoio, aole ma na hana o ke kanawai.
29Is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,
29O ke Akua no anei ia no ka poe Iudaio wale no? Aole no na kanaka e kekahi? Oia, no na kanaka e kekahi.
30since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
30No ka mea, oia hookahi no ke Akua nana e hoapono i ka poe i okipoepoeia, ma ka manaoio, a i ka poe i okipoepoe ole ia hoi ma ka manaoio.
31Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Certainly not! Instead, we uphold the law.
31Ke hoohiolo nei anei makou i ke kanawai, ma ka manaoio? Aole loa: ke hookupaa nei no makou i ke kanawai.
