1For yourselves know, brethren, our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
1U A ike hoi oukou, e na hoahanau, i ko makou komo ana iwaena o oukou, aole ia he mea ole;
2But having suffered many things before, and been shamefully treated (as you know) at Philippi, we had confidence in our God, to speak unto you the gospel of God in much carefulness.
2Aka, i ko makou eha mua ana'e me ka hoino wale ia mai, ma Pilipi, ua ike oukou, ua wiwo ole ae la makou ma ko kakou Akua i ka hai aku ia oukou i ka euanelio a ke Akua, me ka paio nui ana.
3For our exhortation was not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deceit:
3No ka mea, aole ma ka wahahee ka makou ao ana aku, aole hoi ma ka haumia aole hoi ma ka hoopunipuni;
4But as we were approved by God that the gospel should be committed to us: even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who proveth our hearts.
4Aka, me ka haawi ana mai o ke Akua ia makou, i kauohaia mai ka euanelio ia makou, pela hoi makou e olelo aku nei; aole me he mea hoolealea la i kanaka, aka, i ke Akua, i ka mea nana ko kakou naau i hoao mai nei.
5For neither have we used, at any time, the speech of flattery, as you know; nor taken an occasion of covetousness, God is witness:
5Aole makou i lawe i na hua olelo malimali, ua ike oukou; aole hoi i ka hookohu o ka makee waiwai; o ke Akua ka mea ike.
6Nor sought we glory of men, neither of you, nor of others.
6Aole makou i imi i ka hoonaniia mai e kanaka, aole hoi e oukou, aole hoi e hai, i ka wa pono e lilo ai makou i poe hookaumaha, me he mau lunaolelo la na Kristo.
7Whereas we might have been burdensome to you, as the apostles of Christ: but we became little ones in the midst of you, as if a nurse should cherish her children:
7Ua ahonui makou iwaena o oukou, e like me ka wahine hanai la, e malama ana i kana mau keiki:
8So desirous of you, we would gladly impart unto you not only the gospel of God, but also our own souls: because you were become most dear unto us.
8Oia, me ko makou aloha nui aku ia oukou, ua oluolu makou ke haawi aku, aole i ka euanelio wale no a ke Akua ia oukou, aka, i ko makou ola kekahi, no ka mea, he hiwahiwa oukou na makou.
9For you remember, brethren, our labour and toil: working night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you, we preached among you the gospel of God.
9Ke hoomanao nei no oukou, e na hoahanau, i ka makou hana, a me ko makou luh! ana hoi; e hana ana i ka po a me ke ao, i ole ai makou e lilo i mea e luhi ai kekahi o oukou, pela makou i hai aku ai ia oukou i ka euanelio a ke Akua.
10You are witnesses, and God also, how holily, and justly, and without blame, we have been to you that have believed:
10O oukou ko makou poe hoike, a o ke Akua kekahi, i ka hemolele, a me ka pono, a me ka hala ole o ko makou noho ana iwaena o oukou ka poe i manaoio.
11As you know in what manner, entreating and comforting you, (as a father doth his children,)
11Ua ike hoi oukou i ko makou hooikaika ana'ku, a me ka hooluolu ana'ku, a me ke kauoha ana'ku ia oukou a pau, me he makuakane la i kana mau keiki,
12We testified to every one of you, that you would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
12I hele pono oukou ma ka pono o ke Akua, ka mea nana oukou i hea mai iloko o kona aupuni, a i kona nani.
13Therefore, we also give thanks to God without ceasing: because, that when you had received of us the word of the hearing of God, you received it not as the word of men, but (as it is indeed) the word of God, who worketh in you that have believed.
13No ia mea hoi i hoomaikai mau aku ai makou i ke Akua, no ka mea, i ka loaa ana ia oukou o ka ke Akua olelo a oukou i lohe mai ai ia makou nei, aole oukou i apo mai ia me ho olelo la na kanaka, aka, he olelo no na ke Akua, he oiaio no ia, o ka mea i hooikaika nui iloko o oukou o ka poe i manaoio.
14For you, brethren, are become followers of the churches of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered the same things from your own coutrymen, even as they have from the Jews,
14No ka mea, ua lilo mai oukou, e na hoahanau, i mau mea hoohalike me na ekalesia o ke Akua, ma ludea, iloko o Kristo Iesu; no ka mea, ua hoinoia mai hoi oukou e ko ka aina o oukou iho, e like me lakou e ka poe Iudaio;
15Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and the prophets, and have persecuted us, and please not God, and are adversaries to all men;
15Ka poe i pepehi i ka Haku ia Iesu, a i ko lakou poe kaula hoi, a i alualu kolohe mai hoi ia makou; aole no e hooluolu i ke Akua, a ua ku e i na kanaka a pau.
16Prohibiting us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath of God is come upon them to the end.
16Ua keakea mai la lakou ia makou i ka olelo aku i ko na aina e e ola'i lakou, e hoopiha mau ana i ko lakou hewa; aka, e kau mai ana ka inaina nui loa maluna iho o lakou.
17But we, brethren, being taken away from you for a short time, in sight, not in heart, have hastened the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
17Aka, o makou la, e na hoahanau, ua hookaawaleia mai nei mai o oukou mai la, i keia mau la, o ko makou kino, aole ka naau, ua ma kemake loa makou e ike hou aku i ko oukou mau maka, ua hooikaika nui aku ilaila.
18For we would have come unto you, I Paul indeed, once and again: but Satan hath hindered us.
18No ia mea, o ko makou manao e hele aku io oukou la, owau o Paulo kekahi i keia manawa a i keia manawa; aka, ua alalai mai la o Satana ia makou.
19For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glory? Are not you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
19Heaha hoi ko makou manaolana a me ka olioli, a me ka lei e hauoli ai makou? aole anei o oukou ia, i ke alo o ko kakou Haku o Ieau Kristo i kona hiki ana mai?
20For you are our glory and joy.
20No ka mea, o oukou no ka nani a me ka olioli o makou.
