Oihana 24
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1A HALA na la elima, iho ae la o Anania, ke kahuna nui, a me na lunakahiko, a me kekahi loio, o Teretulo, hoopii mai la lakou ia Paulo i ke alii kiaaina.
1Five days later the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and a lawyer named Tertullus, who presented to the governor their case against Paul.
2Kiiia'ku la ia, hoomaka iho la o Teretulo e hoopii ia ia, i ae la, Ua malu loa makou ia oe, ua nui loa no hoi na mea kaulana i loaa mai i keia aina i kou malama ana,
2When Paul had been called in, Tertullus opened the prosecution: “Because of you, we have enjoyed a lasting peace, and your foresight has brought improvements to this nation.
3E Pelika kiekie, ke lawe maikai nei makou ia mau mea, ma na wahi a pau loa, me ke aloha nui aku:
3In every way and everywhere, most excellent Felix, we acknowledge this with all gratitude.
4Aka, o hooluhi aku au ia oe, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, i kou lokomaikai, e hoolohe iki mai ia makou.
4But in order not to burden you any further, I beg your indulgence to hear us briefly.
5No ka mea, ua ike makou i keia kanaka, ua kolohe, he kanaka hooeueu ana o ke ku e mawaena o na Iadaio a pau ma na aina a pau, oia no hoi kekahi kumu nui o ka papa Nazarene.
5We have found this man to be a pestilence, stirring up dissension among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes,
6Ua hoao ae la ia e hoohaumia i ka luakini; na makou ia i hopu iho, a makemake iho la makou e hookolokolo e like me ko makou kanawai.
6and he even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him.
7Aka, hele mai la o Lusia, ka lunatausani, a kai aku la ia ia me ka ikaika nui, mailoko aku o ko makou mau lima,
no verse 7 in this text
8Kena mai no hoi ia i ka poe nana ia i hoopii e hele mai iou nei. A ina hookolokolo oe, e ike auanei oe i ka oiaio o keia mau mea a pau a makou e hoopii aku nei nona.
8By examining him yourself, you will be able to learn the truth about all our charges against him.”
9Ae mai la na Iudaio, i mai la, Oiaio no keia mau mea.
9The Jews concurred, asserting that these charges were true.
10Kunou ae la ke alii ia Paulo e olelo mai, alaila i mai la ia. No kuu ike ana, he nui na makahiki ia oe, i lunakanawai no ko keia aina, no ia mea, ua oluolu loa wau e olelo aku i na mea no'u iho.
10When the governor motioned for Paul to speak, he began his response: “Knowing that you have been a judge over this nation for many years, I gladly make my defense.
11E hiki no ia oe ke hoomaopopo, he umi ae nei la wale no i hala, a me kumamalua, mai ko'u pii ana aku i Ierusalema e hoomana.
11You can verify for yourself that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
12Aole hoi au i loaa ia lakou maloko o ka luakini, e hoopaapaa ana me kekahi, aole hoi e hoohaunaele ana i ke lehulehu, aole maloko o na halehalawai, aole hoi maloko o ke kulanakauhale;
12Yet my accusers did not find me debating with anyone in the temple or riling up a crowd in the synagogues or in the city.
13Aole hoi e hiki ia lakou ano ke hooiaio i na mea a lakou e hoopii mai nei ia'u.
13Nor can they prove to you any of their charges against me.
14Aka, ke hai pono aku nei au ia oe i keia, ma ka aoao i oleloia'i e lakou, he aoao ku e, pela no wau e hoomana aku nei i ke Akua o ko'u mau kupuna, e manaoio ana aku i na mea a pau i kakauia'i ma ke kanawai, a ma ka na kaula.
14I do confess to you, however, that I worship the God of our fathers according to the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that is laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets,
15Ke lana nei ko'u manao i ke Akua, ua ae mai no hoi lakou i keia, i ke alahouana o ka poe make, o ka poe pono a me ka poe pono ole.
15and I have the same hope in God that they themselves cherish, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
16Malaila no hoi au e hooikaika nei e loaa mau ka lunaikehala hewa ole imua o ke Akua a me na kanaka.
16In this hope, I strive always to maintain a clear conscience before God and man.
17A hala na makahiki he nui, hele aku la au e lawe i ka waiwai manawalea, a me na mohai, no na kanaka o ko'u aina.
17After several years, then, I returned to Jerusalem to bring alms to my people and to present offerings.
18Loaa iho la au maloko o ka luakini i kekahi mau Iudaio, mai Asia mai, ua huikalaia, aole me ka lehulehu, aole hoi me ka hoohaunaele.
18At the time they found me in the temple, I was ceremonially clean and was not inciting a crowd or an uproar. But there are some Jews from the province of Asia
19Ina i loaa ia lakou kekahi hewa no'u, e hoopii mai ai, ina ua pono o lakou kekahi pu mai imua ou.
19who ought to appear before you and bring charges, if they have anything against me.
20E pono no hoi ia lakou nei ke olelo mai, ina paha ua loaa ia lakou ko'u hewa, ia'u i ku ai imua o ka ahalunakanawai;
20Otherwise, let these men state for themselves any crime they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrin,
21No keia leo hookahi wale no a'u i hea aku ai, i ko'u ku ana iwaena o lakou. No ke alahouana o ka poe make, oia ko'u mea i hookolokoloia mai ai imua o oukou i keia la.
21unless it was this one thing I called out as I stood in their presence: ‘It is concerning the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.’”
22A lohe o Pelika i keia, hoopanee aku ia lakou a ike maopopo aku la oia i na mea o keia aoao, i ae la, A iho mai o Lusia, ka lunatausani, alaila, e hoomaopopo lea au i ka oukou.
22Then Felix, who was well informed about the Way, adjourned the hearing and said, “When Lysias the commander comes, I will decide your case.”
23Alaila, olelo aku la ia i ka lunahaneri e malama ia Paulo, aole hoi e paa maoli, aole e papa aku i kekahi o kona mau makamaka, ke lawelawe nana, a e hele mai hoi ia ia.
23He ordered the centurion to keep Paul under guard, but to allow him some freedom and permit his friends to minister to his needs.
24A hala kekahi mau la, hiki mai la o Pelika me kana wahine, o Derausila, he Iudaio no ia, kii aku la kela ia Paulo, hoolohe aku la ia ia no ka manaoio iloko o Kristo.
24After several days, Felix returned with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess. He sent for Paul and listened to him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.
25A i kana kamailio ana no ka pono, a me ka pakiko, a me ka hookolokoloia e hiki mai ana mahope, haalulu iho la o Pelika, i aku la, O hoi oe i keia wa; a loaa ia'u ka manawa kaawale, e kii hou aku no au ia oe.
25As Paul expounded on righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, “You may go for now. When I find the time, I will call for you.”
26E manaolana ana hoi ia e haawiia mai e Paulo na kala nana, i weheia'ku ai ia e ia. No ia mea, kii pinepine aku la oia ia ia, i kamakamailio laua.
26At the same time, he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe. So he sent for Paul frequently and talked with him.
27A hala ae la na makahiki elua, hiki ae la ma ko Pelika hakahaka, o Porekio Peseto, a waiho iho la o Pelika ia Paulo e paa ana, no kona makemake e hooluolu i na Iudaio.
27After two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. And wishing to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.
