Oihana 22
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1E NA kanaka, na hoahanan, a me na makua, e hoolohe mai oukou i ka'u olelo hoakaka ia oukou.
1Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.
2(A lohe lakou i kana olelo ana mai ia lakou ma ka olelo Hebera, hooneoneo loa iho la lakou; a i mai la ia,)
2(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)
3He kanaka Iudaio no wau i hanauia ma Tareso i Kilikia, ma keia kulanakauhale nae au i hauaiia'i, ma na wawae o Gamaliela, ua aoia au mamuli o ke kanawai ikaika o na makua: ikaika loa no hoi au i ke Akua, e like me oukou i keia la.
3I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
4Hana ino aku au a make ko keia aoao, me ka paa aku i na kane a me na wahine, a me ka haawi ia lakou i na halepaahao.
4And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
5Ua ike pono ke kahuna nui, a me ka papa a pau o na lunakahiko; na lakou ka'u palapala i loaa mai ai no na hoahanau, a hele au ma Damaseko, e lawe mai i ka poe paa malaila i Ierusalema, i hoopaiia lakou.
5As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.
6A i ko'u hele ana a kokoke i Damaseko, i ke awakea, anapu koke mai la ka malamalama nui, mai ka lani mai, a puni au.
6And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
7A hina iho la au i ka lepo, a lohe aku la au i ka leo, i ka i ana mai ia'u, E Saulo, e Saulo, no ke aha la oe e hoomaau mai nei ia'u?
7And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
8I aku la au, E ka Haku e, owai oe? I mai la kela ia'u, O Iesu no wau no Nazareta, ka mea au e hoomaau mai nei.
8And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
9A ike aku la ka poe me au i ka malamalama, a makau iho la; aole lakou i lohe i ka leo o ka mea i olelo mai ai ia'u.
9And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
10I aku la au, E ka Haku e, heaha ka'u e hana'i? I mai la ka Haku ia'u, E ku, a e hele i Damaseko, a malaila e haiia mai ai ia oe na mea a pau i hoomakaukauia'i nau e hana'i.
10And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
11A i ka hiki ole ana ia'u ke ike, no ka nani o ia malamalama, alakai lima ia'ku au e ko'u poe hoahele, a hiki i Dameseko.
11And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
12A o Anania, he kanaka haipule ma ke kanawai, i hoike pono ia e na Iudaio a pau i noho ilaila,
12And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there ,
13Oia ka i hele mai ia'u, ku mai, i mai ia'u, E Saulo, e ke kaikaina, e ike oe. Ia hora no ike aku la au ia ia.
13Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.
14I mai la ia, Ua koho mai ke Akua o ko kakou poe kupuna ia oe, i ike oe i kona makemake, a e ike aku hoi i ka Mea pono, a e lohe hoi i ka leo o kona waha.
14And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
15No ka mea, e lilo ana oe i mea hoike nona i kanaka a pau, ma na mea au i ike ai, a i lohe ai no hoi.
15For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
16Ano hoi, e aha ana? E ku iluna, e bapetizoia, e holoi aku i kou hewa, a e hea aku i ka inoa o ka Haku.
16And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
17A i ko'u hoi hou ana mai i Ierusalema nei, i ka'u pule ana maloko o ka luakini, loaa ia'u ka hihio;
17And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
18A ike aku la au ia ia i ka i ana mai ia'u, E wiki oe, a e hele koke oe mawaho o Ierusalema nei; no ka mea, aole lakou nei e malama mai i ka mea au e hoike aku ai no'u.
18And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
19I aku la au, E ka Haku e, ua ike no lakou, owau no ka mea i hookomo iloko o ka halepaahao, a hahau aku la maloko o na halehalawai, i ka manaoio aku ia oe:
19And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:
20A i hookaheia'i hoi ke koko o Setepano, o kou mea hoike, e ku ana no wau malaila me ka ae aku i kona make, a na'u no i malama ka aahu o ka poe i pepehi ia ia.
20And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.
21I mai la kela ia'u, O hele; no ka mea, e hoouna aku ana au ia oe i kahi loihi aku, i ko na aina e.
21And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
22Hoolohe aku la lakou ia ia a hiki i keia hua, alaila hookiekie loa ae la lakou i ko lakou leo, i ae la, E kiola aku ia ia pela, mai ka honua aku; no ka mea, aole ia e pono ke ola.
22And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
23I ko lakou kahea ana pela, hemo aku la lakou i ko lakou aahu, a kuehuehu aku la lakou i ka lepo iluna ma ka lewa;
23And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air,
24Kauoha ae la ka lunatausani e kai ia ia iloko o ka pakaua, kauoha ae la, e hoopoipoi ia ia me ka hahau aku, i ike pono ia i ke kumu a lakou i uwauwa'i ia ia.
24The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.
25Hikii iho la lakou ia ia i na kaula ill, i aku la o Paulo i kekahi lunahaneri e ku ana ilaila, He mea pono anei ke hahau oukou i ka Roma, me ka hooku ole mai i ka hala?
25And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
26A lohe ka lunahaneri, hele aku la ia a hai aku la i ka lunatausani, i aku la, Heaha kau e hana nei? no ka mea, he Roma keia.
26When the centurion heard that , he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
27Alaila, hele mai la ka lunatausani, i mai la ia ia, E hai mai oe ia'u, he Roma anei oe? I aku la ia, Ae.
27Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.
28I mai la ua lunatausani la, He kumukuai nui ko'u i loaa mai ai ia'u keia kupa ana. I aku la o Paulo, Ua hanauia mai au, pela.
28And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
29Nolaila haalele koke iho la ka poe hoopoipoi ia ia; a ike ka lunatausani, he Roma ia, makau iho la no ia, no kona hoopaa ana ia ia.
29Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
30A ia la ae manao iho la ia e ike pono i kona mea i hoopiiia'i e na Iudaio, wehe ae la oia ia ia, a kauoha aku la i ua kahuna nui, a me ka ahalunakanawai a pau, e hele mai, a alakai mai la oia ia Paulo, a hooku iho la ia ia imua o lakou.
30On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.
