Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1A KAAHELE laua ma Amepipoli, a ma Apolonia, hele ae la laua i Tesalonike, a malaila kekahi halehalawai o ka poe Iudaio.
1When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
2Komo aku la o Paulo io lakou la, e like me kona aoao mau, a ekoiu Sabati ana i kamailio aku ai ia lakou, ma ka palapala hemolele;
2As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbaths he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
3E wehewehe ana a e hooiaio ana, he pono ke make ka Mesia, a e ala hou ae mai ka make mai; a o Iesu nei, ka mea a'u e hai aku nei ia oukou, oia no ka Mesia.
3explaining and proving that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ,” he declared.
4A ae aku la kekahi poe o lakou, a hoopili aku la me Paulo laua me Sila, a me kekahi poe Helene haipule he nui loa, a me na wahine koikoi aole kakaikahi.
4Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, along with a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few leading women.
5Lili nae na ludaio manaoio ole, a kii aku la i mau kanaka ino o ka poe palaualelo, a hoakoakoa iho la i poe nui, a hoohaunaele iho la i ke kulanakauhale, lele aku la i ka hale o Iasona, imi iho la ia laua e alako i kanaka.
5The Jews, however, became jealous. So they brought in some troublemakers from the marketplace, formed a mob, and sent the city into an uproar. They raided Jason’s house in search of Paul and Silas, hoping to bring them out to the people.
6A i ka loaa ole o laua, kauo mai la lakou ia Iasona, a me kekahi poe hoahanau i na luna o ua kulanakauhale la, uwauwa mai la lakou, O keia poe nana i hoohaunaele i ko na aina a pau, ua hele mai hoi lakou ia nei;
6But when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have now come here,
7Na Iasona i hookipa ia lakou. Ua hana lakou a pau ma ke ku e i ke kanawai o Kaisara; no ka mea, ke olelo mai nei lakou, he alii e o Iesu.
7and Jason has welcomed them into his home. They are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, named Jesus!”
8Pioloke iho la ka ahakanaka, a me na luna o ke kulanakauhale i keia mau mea, i ko lakou lohe ana.
8On hearing this, the crowd and city officials were greatly disturbed.
9A lawe lakou i uku panai no Iasona, a no kekahi poe o ae, alaila bookuu aku la ia lakou.
9And they collected bond from Jason and the others, and then released them.
10Hoouna koko ae la na hoahanau ia Paulo laua me Sila i Beroia i kapo. A hiki laua ilaila, komo ae la iloko o ka halehalawai o ka poo Iudaio.
10As soon as night had fallen, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
11Oi aku ko lakou nei maikai, i ko Tesalonike, no ka mea, ua apo mai lakou i ka olelo me ka manao koke, huli no hoi lakou i kela la i keia la ma ka palapala hemolele, ina paha ho oiaio keia mau mea.
11Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.
12No ia mea, nui no lakou i manaoio mai, a me na wahine Helene koikoi, a me na kane aohe uuku.
12As a result, many of them believed, along with quite a few prominent Greek women and men.
13A ike ka poe Iudaio no Tesalonike ua haiia ka olelo a ke Akua ma Beroia e Paulo, kele mai no hoi lakou ilaila, a hoohaunaele i kanaka.
13But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that Paul was also proclaiming the word of God in Berea, they went there themselves to incite and agitate the crowds.
14Alaila hoouna koke ae la na hoabanau ia Paulo e hele i kai; aka, noho iho la o Sila laua me Temoteo malaila.
14The brothers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy remained in Berea.
15A o ka poe alakai aku ia Paulo, lawe aku la lakou ia ia i Atenai. A loaa ia lakou kahi kauoha no Sila laua me Timoteo, e hele koke laua io na la, alaila hoi mai la lakou.
15Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then returned with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.
16I ko Paulo kali ana ia laua ma Atenai, ua hooeoeuia kona naau iloko ona, i kona ike ana, ua lilo loa ke kulanakauhale i ka malama kii.
16While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was deeply disturbed in his spirit to see that the city was full of idols.
17Nolaila, hoopaapaa aku la ia me ka poe Iudaio maloko o ka halehalawai, a me kekahi poe haipule, a ma kahi kuai no hoi i kela la i keia la, me ka poe i halawai me ia.
17So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and God-fearing Gentiles, and in the marketplace with those he met each day.
18Hoopaapaa aku la ia ia kekahi poe akeakamai o ka poe Epikoureio, a me ka poe Setoiko. A i mai la kekahi poe, Heaha ka mea a keia haukae e olelo mai ai? I mai la kekahi, Me he kanaka e hai ana i na akua e keia; no ka mea, ua hai i mai la no oia ia Iesu ia lakou, a me ke alahouana.
18Some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also began to debate with him. Some of them asked, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign gods.” They said this because Paul was proclaiming the good news of Jesus and the resurrection.
19Lalau aku la lakou ia ia, a lawe aku la ia ia i Areiopago, i aku la, E hiki anei ia makou ke ao i keia olelo hou au e hai mai nei?
19So they took Paul and brought him to the Areopagus, where they asked him, “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting?
20No ka mea, ko lawo mai nei oe i na mea o na ko makou mau pepeiao, ke makemake nei makou e ike i ke ano o keia mau mea.
20For you are bringing some strange notions to our ears, and we want to know what they mean.”
21(O ko Atonai a pau a me ko laila malihini, o ka lakou hana wale no keia, o ka bai mai a me ka hoolohe aku i na mea hou.)
21Now all the Athenians and foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing more than hearing and articulating new ideas.
22Alaila ku mai la o Paulo mawaenakonu o Areiopago, i mai ia, E na kanaka o Atonai nei, ke ike nei au, ua ikaika loa oukou i ka malama i na akua, ma na mea a pau.
22Then Paul stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I see that in every way you are very religious.
23No ka mea, i ko'u hele ana ae, nana aku la au i ko oukou mea e hoomana'i, a ike au i kokahi lele, ua palapalaia maluna penei, NO KE AKUA IKE OLE IA. Nolaila o ka mea a oukou e hoomana naaupo aku ai, oia no ka'u e bai aku nei ia oukou.
23For as I walked around and examined your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore what you worship as something unknown, I now proclaim to you.
24O ke Akua nana i bana ke ao nei, a me na mea a pau iloko, o ka Haku no ia o ka lani a me ka honoa, aole ia e nobo maloko o ka hale i hanaia e na lima;
24The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples made by human hands.
25Aole hoi ia i malamaia e na lima kanaka, aole nae ia i nelo i kekahi mea; nana no i haawi mai nei ke ola no na mea a pau, a me ka banu, a me na mea a pau;
25Nor is He served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.
26A nana no i hana i na lahuikanaka a pau i ke koko hookahi, i noho lakou ma ka honua nei; aia hoi ua paa i kona manao kahiko ka hope o na wa, a me na mokuna o ko iakou wahi e noho ai;
26From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands.
27I imi lakou i ke Akua, ina paha lakou e haha a e loaa no ia, aole hoi ia e loihi aku o kela mea keia mea o kakou;
27God intended that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.
28No ka mea, maloko ona e ola nei, a e hele nei, a e noho nei kakou; e like me ka olelo ana a kekahi haku mele o oukou, He poe keiki kakou nana.
28‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’
29Ina he poe keiki kakou na ke Akua, aole pono ia kakou ke manao i ko ke Akua ano, ua like ia me ke gula, a me ke kala, a me ka pohaku i kalaiia ma ke akamai a me ka noonoo o kanaka.
29Therefore, being offspring of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by man’s skill and imagination.
30Hoomanawanui mai la ke Akua i na wa o keia naaupo ana; aka, keia manawa, ke kauoha mai nei ia i kanaka a pau ma na wahi a pau loa, e mihi.
30Although God overlooked the ignorance of earlier times, He now commands all people everywhere to repent.
31No ka mea, ua hoomaopopo oia i ka la e hookolokolo ai i ko ke ao nei me ka pono, na ke kanaka ana i olelo ai; ua hoike pono mai hoi ia i ka oiaio o ia mea i na kanaka a pau, i kona hoala ana mai ia ia, mai ka make mai.
31For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead.”
32A lohe lakou i ke alahouana o ka poe make, hoohenehene kekahi poe; a i mai la kekahi, E hoolohe hou aku paha makou ia oe i keia mea.
32When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some began to mock him, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this topic.”
33No ia mea, hele aku la o Paulo mai waena aku o lakou.
33At that, Paul left the Areopagus.
34Aka hoi, pipili aku la kekahi poe ia ia, a manaoio aku la, o Dionusio, no Areiopago, kekahi o lakou, a me kekahi wahine o Damari kona inoa, a me kekahi poe pu me laua.
34But some joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others who were with them.
