Tesalonike I. 2
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1U A ike hoi oukou, e na hoahanau, i ko makou komo ana iwaena o oukou, aole ia he mea ole;
1You yourselves know, brothers, that our visit to you was not in vain.
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.
2As you are aware, we had already endured suffering and shameful treatment in Philippi. But in the face of strong opposition, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God.
3No ka mea, aole ma ka wahahee ka makou ao ana aku, aole hoi ma ka haumia aole hoi ma ka hoopunipuni;
3For our appeal does not arise from deceit or ulterior motives or trickery.
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.
4Instead, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, not in order to please men but God, who examines our hearts.
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.
5As you know, we never used words of flattery or any pretext for greed. God is our witness!
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.
6Nor did we seek praise from you or from anyone else, although as apostles of Christ we had authority to demand it.
7Ua ahonui makou iwaena o oukou, e like me ka wahine hanai la, e malama ana i kana mau keiki:
7On the contrary, we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother caring for her children.
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.
8We cared so deeply that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our own lives as well. That is how beloved you have become to us.
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.
9Surely you recall, brothers, our labor and toil. We worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to anyone while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
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.
10You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous, and blameless our conduct was among you who believed.
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,
11For you know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children—
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.
12encouraging you, comforting you, and urging you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.
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.
13And we continually thank God because, when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as the true word of God—the word which is now at work in you who believe.
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;
14For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Judea that are in Christ Jesus. You suffered from your own countrymen the very things they suffered from the Jews,
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.
15who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out as well. They are displeasing to God and hostile to all men,
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.
16hindering us from telling the Gentiles how they may be saved. As a result, they continue to heap up their sins to full capacity; the utmost wrath has come upon them.
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.
17Brothers, although we were torn away from you for a short time (in person, not in heart), our desire to see you face to face was even more intense.
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.
18For we wanted to come to you—indeed I, Paul, tried again and again—but Satan obstructed us.
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?
19After all, who is our hope, our joy, our crown of boasting, if it is not you yourselves in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?
20No ka mea, o oukou no ka nani a me ka olioli o makou.
20You are indeed our glory and our joy.
