Korineto I. 7
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1MA na mea a oukou i palapala mai ai ia'u; he mea maikai no ke kane, aole e hoopili aku i ka wahine.
1Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good to abstain from sexual relations.
2Aka, o moe kolohe auanei, ua pono no i kela kane i keia kane kana wahine iho, a ua pono no i kela wahine i keia wahine, kana kane iho.
2But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.
3E pono no e ae lokomaikai aku ke kane i ka wahine, a pela no ka wahine i ke kane.
3The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.
4No ka mea, aole na ka wahine kona kino iho, na ke kane no; aole hoi na ke kane kona kino iho, na ka wahine no.
4The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.
5Mai hoonele wale oukou i kekahi i kekahi, aia wale no ma ka like o ka manao, a i mea hoi e lilo loa ai i ka hookeai a me ka pule; a e hui hou no, i hoowalewale ole mai ai o Satana ia oukou, no ko oukou hiki ole i ka hoomanawanui.
5Do not deprive each other, except by mutual consent and for a time, so you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again, so that Satan will not tempt you through your lack of self-control.
6Ke olelo aku nei au i keia no ka manao no, aole no ke kauoha aku.
6I say this as a concession, not as a command.
7Ke makemake nei au, i like na kanaka a pau me au nei Aka, ua loaa i kela kanaka, i keia kanaka kona makana ponoi, na ke Akua mai, okoa no hoi ke ano o kekahi, okoa ke ano o kekahi.
7I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.
8Ke olelo aku nei au i ka poe i mare ole ia, a me na wahinekanemake, he mea pono no lakou ke hoomau e like me au nei.
8Now to the unmarried and widows I say this: It is good for them to remain unmarried, as I am.
9Aka, i hiki ole ia lakou ke hoomanawanui, e mare no lakou; no ka mea, ua maikai ka mare, aole ke kuko.
9But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
10Ke hauoha aku nei au i ka poe i mareia, aole na'u, na ka Haku no, Mai haalele ka wahine i kana kane:
10To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.
11A ina ua haalele, e noho mare ole ia oia, a e maliu hou aku paha i ke kane: aole hoi e kipaku ke kane i ka wahine.
11But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
12Ke olelo aku nei au i ka poe i koe, aole na ka Haku mai; Ina he wahine hoomaloka ka kekahi hoahanau kane, a manao ka wahine e noho pu me ia, mai kipaku ke kane ia ia.
12To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If a brother has an unbelieving wife and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.
13A o ka wahine hoi, ke hoomaloka kana kane, a manao no ke kane e noho pu me ia, mai kipaku ka wahine ia ia.
13And if a woman has an unbelieving husband and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.
14No ka mea, ua huikalaia ke kane hoomaloka i ka wahine, a me ka wahine hoomaloka hoi, ua huikalaia oia i ke kane. Ina aole pela, ina ua haumia na keiki a oukou; aka, ano la, ua huikalaia.
14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his believing wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
15A ina na ka hoomaloka ka haalele, e haalele no. Aole i paa ka hoahanau kane a me ka hoahanau wahine i keia mau mea. Aka, ua ao mai ke Akua ia kakou ma ke kuikahi.
15But if the unbeliever leaves, let him go. The believing brother or sister is not bound in such cases. God has called you to live in peace.
16Pehea oe i ike ai, e ka wahine, e ola paha kau kane ia oe? Pehea hoi oe i ike ai, e ke kane, e ola paha kau wahine ia oe?
16How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
17E like hoi me ka ka Haku haawi ana mai i kela kanaka i keia kanaka, e like no me ka ke Akua hea ana mai i kela kanaka i keia kanaka, pela no ia e hele ai; a pela no au e kauoha aku nei ma na ekalesia a pau.
17Regardless, each one should lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him and to which God has called him. This is what I prescribe in all the churches.
18Ina i heaia'ku kekahi i okipoepoeia; mai huna oia i kona okipoepoe ana: ina i heaia'ku kekahi i okipoepoe ole ia; mai okipoepoeia oia.
18Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man still uncircumcised when called? He should not be circumcised.
19He mea ole ke okipoepoeia, he mea ole ke okipoepoe ole ia, aka, o ka malama ana i na kanawai o ke Akua.
19Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commandments is what counts.
20E noho no kela kanaka keia kanaka ma ka mea ana i hana'i i ka wa i heaia mai ai oia.
20Each one should remain in the situation he was in when he was called.
21Ina i heaia mai oe, e hookanwa ana, mai manao oe ia mea; aka, ina e hiki ke kuu wale ia mai oe, e hele no.
21Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let it concern you—but if you can gain your freedom, take the opportunity.
22No ka mea, o ke kauwa i heaia mai e ka Haku, oia ka ka Haku i kuu ai. Pela hoi o ka mea paa ole i heaia mai, oia hoi ke kauwa a Kristo.
22For he who was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord’s freedman. Conversely, he who was a free man when he was called is Christ’s slave.
23Ua kuaiia oukou me ke kumu, mai lilo oukou i poe hahai i kanaka.
23You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.
24E na hoahanau, e noho no kela kanaka keia kanaka me ke Akua, ma ka mea ana i heaia mai ai.
24Brothers, each one should remain in the situation he was in when God called him.
25No ka poe puupaa, aole na ka Haku mai ka'u kauoha. Ke hai aku nei no hoi au i ko'u manao, e like me ka mea i malama pono, no ka loaa ana mai o ka lokomaikai o ka Haku.
25Now about virgins, I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy.
26Ke manao nei au, he mea maikai keia, no ka popilikia o keia wa, he mea maikai no ke kane ke noho wale pela.
26Because of the present crisis, I think it is good for a man to remain as he is.
27A i paa oe i ka wahine, ea, mai imi oe i ka mea e wehe ai. A i kaawale oe i ka wahine, mai imi oe i wahine nau.
27Are you committed to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Are you free of commitment? Do not look for a wife.
28Aka, ina i mare oe, aole oe i hewa; a ina i mare ka wahine puupaa, aole ia i hewa; aka hoi, e loaa auanei i ua poe la ka pilikia ma ke kino; aka, ke kuu aku nei au ia oukou.
28But if you do marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.
29Ke olelo aku nei no hoi au i keia, e na hoahanau, ma keia hope aku ka wa pilikia; nolaila, o ka mea wahine, e lilo ia i mea like me ka mea wahine ole:
29What I am saying, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none;
30A o ka mea uwe, e like me ka mea uwe ole; a o ka poe olioli, e like me ka poe olioli ole; a o ka poe kuai, e like me ka poe nele;
30those who weep, as if they did not; those who are joyful, as if they were not; those who make a purchase, as if they had nothing;
31A o ka poe malama i na mea o keia ao, e like me ka poe malama ole. No ka mea, e nalo ae ana ke ano o keia ao.
31and those who use the things of this world, as if not dependent on them. For this world in its present form is passing away.
32O ko'u makemake keia, i ole oukou e pilikia ma ka manao. O ka mea i mare ole ia, ua manao no ia i ko ka Haku, i ka mea e lealea mai ai ka Haku.
32I want you to be free from concern. The unmarried man is concerned about the work of the Lord, how he can please the Lord.
33A o ka mea i mareia, manao no ia i na mea o keia ao, i mea e lealea mai ai ka wahine.
33But the married man is concerned about the affairs of this world, how he can please his wife,
34Ua okoa no ka wahine i mareia, okoa ka wahine puupaa. O ka wahine i mare ole ia, ua manao no ia i na mea o ka Haku, i laa ia ma ke kino, a me ka naau; a o ka mea i mareia, manao no ia i na mea o keia ao, i mea e lealea ai ke kane,
34and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the work of the Lord, how she can be holy in both body and spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, how she can please her husband.
35Ke olelo aku nei au i keia i mea e pono ai oukou; aole e hoohihia ai oukou, no ka pono nae, i malama oukou i ka Haku, me ka ikaika a me ka hihia ole.
35I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but in order to promote proper decorum and undivided devotion to the Lord.
36Aka, ina e manao kekahi, ua pono ole kana hana ana i kana kaikamahine puupaa, ina i hala kona wa i oo ai, a ina pono pela, e hana no ia i kona makemake, aole ia i hewa; e mare lakou.
36However, if someone thinks he is acting inappropriately toward his betrothed, and if she is beyond her youth and they ought to marry, let him do as he wishes; he is not sinning; they should get married.
37Aka, o ka mea ku paa ma ka naau, aole hoi i pilikia, a ua lanakila hoi maluna o kona makemake iho, a ua manao pono maloko o kona naau, e malama pela i kana kaikamahine, ua pono no kana hana ana.
37But the man who is firmly established in his heart and under no constraint, with control over his will and resolve in his heart not to marry the virgin, he will do well.
38Nolaila, o ka mea haawi ma ka mare, ua hana pono ia, a o ka mea haawi ole ma ka mare, ua hana pono loa ia.
38So then, he who marries the virgin does well, but he who does not marry her does even better.
39Ua paa ka wahine, i ka wa a pau e ola ana kana kane; aka, ina i make kana kane, ua pono ia ke mare aku i ka mea ana e makemake ai; iloko hoi o ka Haku.
39A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, as long as he belongs to the Lord.
40I ko'u manao hoi, ua oi aku kona pomaikai, ke noho ia pela; a ke manao nei au, ua loaa ia'u ka Uhane o ke Akua.
40In my judgment, however, she is happier if she remains as she is. And I think that I too have the Spirit of God.
