Korineto II. 12
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1A OLE paha o'u pono ke kaena aku: aka, e hiki nuanei au ma na hihio a me na hoike ana mai a ka Haku.
1I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to gain, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord.
2I na makahiki mamna, he umikumamaha, ua ike no au i kekahi kanaka no Kristo, iloko o ke kino paha, aole au i ike, iwaho e ke kino paha, aole au i ike, o ke Akua ke ike; ua laweia'ku la na mea la iluna i ke kolu'o ka lani.
2I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows.
3O ua kanaka la ka'u i ike, iloko o ke kino paha, iwaho e ke kine paha, aole au i ike, o ke Akua ke ike:
3And I know that this man—whether in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows—
4Ua laweia'ku oia iluna I paradaiso, a lohe ae ia ia i na huaolelo hiki ole ke pane ae, aole hoi e pono ke ekemuiaku e ke kanaka.
4was caught up to Paradise. The things he heard were too sacred for words, things that man is not permitted to tell.
5No ua mea la ka'u e kaena aku ai: aole no'u iho ka'u o kaena ai, aka, no ko'u mau mea palupalu.
5I will boast about such a man, but I will not boast about myself, except in my weaknesses.
6Ina paha i ake au e kaena aku, aole o'u naaupo; no ka mea, e hai aku ana au i ka oiaio: aka, ke oki nei no au, o manao mai paha kekahi ia'u he kiekie maluna o kana i ike mai ai ia'u, a me kana i iohe mai ai ia'u.
6Even if I wanted to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me,
7O hookiekie paha wau no ka nui o na mea i hoikeia mai, ua haawiia mai ia'u he mea oioi ma kuu io, he elele na Satana e kui mai ai ia'u, o hookiekie auanei au.
7or because of these surpassingly great revelations. So to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.
8No ia mea, ekolu au noi ana aku i ka Haku, i haalele mai ia mea ia'u.
8Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.
9I mai la kela ia'u, Ua lawa kuu lokomaikai nou: no ka mea, ma ka nawaliwali ka hoomaopopo ana o ko'u mana. No ia hoi, e kaena aku au me ka oluolu i kuu nawaliwali, i kau mai ai ka mana o Kristo maluna iho o'u.
9But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.
10Nolaila, he oluolu ko'u i ka nawaliwali, a me ka hoinoia, a me ka poino, a me ka hoomaauia, a me ka pilikia no Kristo: no ka mea, i kuu nawaliwali ana, alaila ua ikaika au.
10That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
11Ua lilo au i naaupo ma ke kaena ana; na oukou au i koi mai: no ka mea, he pono ko'u e hoomaikaiia mai e oukou; aole au i emi iki mahope o na lunaolelo pookela, he mea ole no nae au.
11I have become a fool, but you drove me to it. In fact, you should have commended me, since I am in no way inferior to those “super-apostles,” even though I am nothing.
12He oiaio, na hanaia na oihana lunaolelo iwaena o oukou me ka hoomanawanui, me na hoailona, me na mea kupanaha a me na hana mana.
12The true marks of an apostle—signs, wonders, and miracles—were performed among you with great perseverance.
13Mahea ko oukou wnhi emi mahope o na ekalesia e ae, ke waiho ko oukou kaumaha ole ia'u? E kala mai oukou ia'u i keia mea pono ole.
13In what way were you inferior to the other churches, except that I was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
14Aia hoi, eia ke kolu o kuu makankau e hele aku io oukou la; aole au e hookaumaha ia oukou; no ka mea, o oukou ka'u e imi nei, aole ka oukou: aole e pono no na keiki ke hoahu aku na na makua, aka, o na makua na na keiki.
14See, I am ready to come to you a third time, and I will not be a burden, because I am not seeking your possessions, but you. For children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.
15A ua oluolu au ke lilo aku a e hooliloia hoi no ko oukou uhane; ina paha me ka mahuahua o ko'u aloha aka ia oukou, pela ka emi ana o ko'u alohaia mai.
15And for the sake of your souls, I will most gladly spend my money and myself. If I love you more, will you love me less?
16A oia no pela, aole no oukou i kaumaha ia'u: aka, ua maalea au, nolaila ua puni oukou ia'u.
16Be that as it may, I was not a burden to you; but crafty as I am, I caught you by trickery.
17Ua waiwai anei au ia oukou ma kekahi o ka poe a'u i hoouna aku ai io oukou la?
17Did I exploit you by anyone I sent you?
18Noi aku la au ia Tito, a hoouna pu aku la au me ia i kekahi hoahanau: ua waiwai anei o Tito ia oukou? aole anei makou i hele ma ka manao hookahi, a ma ke kapuwai hookahi?
18I urged Titus to visit you, and I sent our brother with him. Did Titus exploit you in any way? Did we not walk in the same Spirit and follow in the same footsteps?
19Eia hoi, ke manao nei anei oukou e hoakaka makou ia makou iho ia oukou? E na mea aloha, ke olelo nei makou imua o ke Akua ma o Kristo la, no ka hookupaa aku ia oukou keia mau mea a pau.
19Have you been thinking all along that we were making a defense to you? We speak before God in Christ, and all of this, beloved, is to build you up.
20No ka mea, ko makau nei au, a i kuu hiki aku, e ike aku paha auanei au ia oukou aohe like me kuu makemake, a e ikea mai hoi au e oukou aohe like me ko oukou makemake: malia paha o ikea auanei ka hakaka, ka ukiuki, ka inaina, ka hoopaapaa, ke aki, ka ohumu, ka hoohaha, a me ka haunaele.
20For I am afraid that when I come, I may not find you as I wish, and you may not find me as you wish. I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, rage, rivalry, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.
21Anoai paha o hoohaahaa iho no hoi kuu Akua ia'u iwaena o oukou, i kuu hiki hou ana'ku; a kanikau iho au i na mea he nui i hana hewa e mamua, aole hoi i mihi i ka haumia, a me ka moekolohe, a me ke kuulala a lakou i hana'i.
21I am afraid that when I come again, my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of their acts of impurity, sexual immorality, and debauchery.
