Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1I KA wa a Apolo i noho ai ma Korineto, kaahele o Paulo i na aina mauka, a hele aku la i Epeso; a loaa ia ia kekahi mau haumana,
1While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the interior and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples
2I mai la ia lakou, Ua loaa anei ia oukou ka Uhane Hemolele i ko oukou manaoio ana? I aku la lakou ia ia, Aole makou i lohe no ka Uhane Hemolele.
2and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?” “No,” they answered, “we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
3I mai la kela ia lakou, I ke aha la oukou i bapetizoia'i? I aku la hoi lakou ia ia, I ka bapetizo a Ioane.
3“Into what, then, were you baptized?” Paul asked. “The baptism of John,” they replied.
4I mai la o Paulo, Bapetizo mai la o Ioane i ka bapetizo ana o ka mihi, i ka i ana mai i kanaka, e manaoio aku lakou i ka mea e hiki mai ana mahope ona, o ka Mesia no ia, o Iesu no.
4Paul explained: “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the One coming after him, that is, in Jesus.”
5A lohe lakou, bapetizoia iho la lakou ma ka inoa o ka Haku, o Iesu.
5On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
6A kau aku la o Paulo i na lima maluna iho o lakou, hiki mai la ka Uhane Hemolele maluna o lakou; a olelo ae la lakou ma ka olelo e, a wanana mai la.
6And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.
7A oia mau kanaka a pau, he umikumamalua lakou.
7There were about twelve men in all.
8Hele mai la ia iloko o ka halehalawai, olelo wiwo ole mai la, ekolu malama ana i hooakaka ai, a i hoohuli mai ma na mea o ke aupuni o ke Akua.
8Then Paul went into the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God.
9A paakiki kekahi poe, a hoomaloka no hoi, olelo ino no lakou i keia aoao imua i ke alo o kanaka; alaila haalele oia ia lakou a hookaawale iho la i na haumana, a hoakaka mai la ia i kela la i keia la, maloko o ke kula o kahi Turano.
9But when some of them stubbornly refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way, Paul took his disciples and left the synagogue to conduct daily discussions in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.
10Ua hana mau ia keia mea i na makahiki elua; no ia mea, lohe ka poe a pau i noho ma Asia i ka olelo a ka Haku, a Iesu, o ka poe Iudaio a me ka poe Helene.
10This continued for two years, so that everyone who lived in the province of Asia, Jews and Greeks alike, heard the word of the Lord.
11Na ke Akua no i hana i na mea mana ano e, ma na lima o Paulo.
11God did extraordinary miracles through the hands of Paul,
12No ia mea, laweia'ku la, mai kona kino aku, na hainaka a me na pale, no ka poe mai, a haalele iho la ka mai ia lakou, a puka aku la na uhane ino mailoko aku o lakou.
12so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and the diseases and evil spirits left them.
13Hoao nae kekahi poe Iudaio, he poe kuewa mahiki daimonio, a hea aku la lakou i ka inoa o ka Haku o Iesu maluna o ka poe i loohia e na uhane ino, i aku la, Ma o Iesu la, ka mea a Paulo e hai mai nei, ke hookikina aku nei makou ia oukou.
13Now there were some itinerant Jewish exorcists who tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those with evil spirits. They would say, “I bind you by Jesus, whom Paul proclaims.”
14Aia malaila kekahi mau keiki na Sekena, he Iudaio, a he kahuna nui, ehiku lakou i hana pela.
14Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.
15Olelo mai la ka uhane ino, i mai, Ua ike no wau ia Iesu, a ua ike no hoi au ia Paulo, aka hoi, owai oukou?
15Eventually, one of the evil spirits answered them, “Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?”
16A o ke kanaka maloko ona ua uhane ino la, lele mai la ia maluna o lakou, a lanakila iho la maluna o lakou, a hana ino mai la, a holo kohana aku la lakou mawaho o ia hale, ua eha hoi.
16Then the man with the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. The attack was so violent that they ran out of the house naked and wounded.
17Ua ikea iho la keia e na Iudaio a pau, a me ua Helene, e noho ana ma Epeso. A kau mai ka makau maluna o lakou a pau, a ua hoonuiia ka inoa o ka Haku o Iesu.
17This became known to all the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, and fear came over all of them. So the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor.
18He nui na mea o ka poe manaoio i hele mai, a hai mai, a hoike mai i ka lakou mau hana.
18Many who had believed now came forward, confessing and disclosing their deeds.
19A he nui na mea o ka poe i hana kilokilo, i lawe mai i ka lakou mau buke, a puhi iho la i ke ahi imua o kanaka a pau; a helu lakou i ke kumukuai o ua mau buke la ke kuaiia, he kanalima tausani hapalua.
19And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books and burned them in front of everyone. When the value of the books was calculated, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas.
20Pela i ulu ai me ka mana ka olelo a ka Haku, a lanakila iho la.
20So the word of the Lord powerfully continued to spread and prevail.
21A pau keia mau mea i ka hanaia, manao iho la o Paulo ma ka uhane, e kaahele ma Makedonia a me Akaia, alaila, e hele i Ierusalema, i ae la, A hiki au ilaila, ma ia hope aku, pono ia'u ke ike ia Roma.
21After these things had happened, Paul resolved in the Spirit to go to Jerusalem after he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia. “After I have been there,” he said, “I must see Rome as well.”
22Hoouna aku la ia ma Makedonia i kekahi mau hoalawehana ona elua, o Timoteo laua me Eraseto; a noho iho la ia ma Asia a liuliu.
22He sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, while he stayed for a time in the province of Asia.
23Ia manawa, aole okana mai ka pioloke no keia aoao.
23About that time there arose a great disturbance about the Way.
24No ka mea, he kanaka, o Demeterio ka inoa, he kahuna hana kala e hana ana i na luakini kala no Diana, a nui loa iho la ka waiwai i loaa mai i ka poe paahana.
24It began with a silversmith named Demetrius who made silver shrines of Artemis, bringing much business to the craftsmen.
25Hoakoakoa ae la oia ia lakou, a me ka poe paahana ma ua mea me ia, i aku la, E na kanaka, ua ike no oukou, no keia hana i loaa mai ai ka kakou waiwai.
25Demetrius assembled the craftsmen, along with the workmen in related trades. “Men,” he said, “you know that this business is our source of prosperity.
26Ua ike no hoi oukou, a ua lohe, aole ma Epeso wale no, aka, ma Asia a pau, o Paulo nei i hooikaika aku ai a i hoohuli i kanaka, he nui loa, me ka i ana ae, aohe akua na mea i hanaia e na lima.
26And you can see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in nearly the whole province of Asia, Paul has persuaded a great number of people to turn away. He says that man-made gods are no gods at all.
27No ia mea, aole ka kakou oihana wale no ke aneane lilo i mea ole; aka, o ka heiau o keia akua nui o Diana kekahi, e hoowahawahaia, a kokoke e pau i ke kahuliia ka nani o ka mea i hoomanaia'i e ko Asia a pau, a me ko ke ao nei.
27There is danger not only that our business will fall into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited and her majesty deposed—she who is worshiped by all the province of Asia and the whole world.”
28A lohe ae la lakou, piha iho la lakou i ka huhu, wawa aku la, i ae la, Nani ka mana o Diana o ko Epeso.
28When the men heard this, they were enraged and began shouting, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
29Piha iho la ke kulanakauhale a pau i ka haunaele. Hopu aku la lakou ia Gaio, a me Arisetareko no Makedonia, he mau hoahele no Paulo, a holo lokahi aku la lakou i ka hale kiaka.
29Soon the whole city was in disarray. They rushed together into the theatre, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul’s traveling companions from Macedonia.
30Makemake iho la o Paulo e komo pu aku mawaena o na kanaka, aole nae na haumana i ae aku ia ia.
30Paul wanted to go before the assembly, but the disciples would not allow him.
31A o kekahi poe luna ma Asia, he poe makamaka nona, hoouna aku la lakou, kauoha ae la ia ia, aole hoike ia ia iho maloko o ka hale kiaka.
31Even some of Paul’s friends who were officials of the province of Asia sent word to him, begging him not to venture into the theatre.
32Nolaila uwauwa ae la kekahi poe i kekahi mea a me kela poe i kela mea; no ka mea, ua mokuahana ua ahakanaka la; a o ka nui o lakou, aole lakou i ike i ka lakou mea i hoakoakoa'i.
32Meanwhile the assembly was in turmoil. Some were shouting one thing and some another, and most of them did not even know why they were there.
33Hoeueu ae la lakou ia Alekanedero, noloko mai o ka lehulehu, na ka poe Iudaio ia i alakai mai. Peahi aku la o Alekanedero i ka lima, manao iho la ia e hoapono ia ia iho imua o na kanaka.
33The Jews in the crowd pushed Alexander forward to explain himself, and he motioned for silence so he could make his defense to the people.
34A ike lakou he Iudaio ia, kahea aku la lakou me ka leo hookahi, a liuliu, elua no hora. Nani ka mana o Diana o ko Epeso.
34But when they realized that he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison for about two hours: “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
35Hoolai iho la nae ke kakaolelo i ua ahakanaka la, i aku la, E na kanaka o Epeso nei, owai ke kanaka ike ole i ke kulanakauhale o Epeso nei he poe kakou e hoomaua ana ia Diana, i ka mea i haule no Iupita mai?
35Finally the city clerk quieted the crowd and declared, “Men of Ephesus, doesn’t everyone know that the city of Ephesus is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven?
36No ka hiki ole i kekahi ke hoole i keia mau mea, he pono ia oukou e hoolai, aole hoi e hana wikiwiki.
36Since these things are undeniable, you ought to be calm and not do anything rash.
37Ua kai mai oukou i keia mau kanaka, aole lakou he poe hao heiau, aole hoi i olelo hoino i ko oukou akua.
37For you have brought these men here, though they have neither robbed our temple nor blasphemed our goddess.
38No ia mea, ina i loaa ia Demeterio, a me ka poe paahana me ia, ka hala o kekahi, ua maopopo na la hookolokolo, a me na lunakanawai. E hoopii lakou kekahi i kekahi.
38So if Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a complaint against anyone, the courts are open and proconsuls are available. Let them bring charges against one another there.
39Aka, ina imi oukou ma kekahi mea e, e hooponoponoia ia mea, ma ka ahakanaka ku i ke kanawai.
39But if you are seeking anything beyond this, it must be settled in a legal assembly.
40No ka mea, e hoopiiia mai paha auanei kakou, no ka haunaele o keia la, aole hoi e hiki ia kakou ke hai aku i ka mea i akoakoa'i keia ahakanaka.
40For we are in jeopardy of being charged with rioting for today’s events, and we have no justification to account for this commotion.”
41A i ka olelo ana i keia mea, hookuu aku la ia i ua ahakanaka la.
41After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.
