Epeso 2
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1O OUKOU hoi kekahi, oka poe i make iloko o na hala a me na hewa;
1And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
2Ma ia mau mea oukou i hele ai mamua, ma ka aoao o keia ao, mamuli o ke alii ikaika o ka lewa, o ka uhane e hooikaika ana iloko o na keiki hoolohe ole.
2in which you used to walk when you conformed to the ways of this world and of the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of disobedience.
3Me lakou hoi makou a pau i noho ai mamua ma na kuko newa o ko makou kino, e hana ana i na raakemake o ke kino a mo ka naau; a ma ka aoao maoli he poe keiki makou no ka inainaia, e like me na mea e ae.
3All of us also lived among them at one time, fulfilling the cravings of our flesh and indulging its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature children of wrath.
4Aka, o ke Akua, ka mea i piha i ko aloha, ma kona makemake nui ana i makemake mai ai ia kakou,
4But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
5I ko kakou wa make i na hala, ua hoola mai oia ia kakou pu me Kristo, (ma ka lokomaikai oukou e ola'i;)
5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved!
6A ua hoala pu ae la, a ua hoonoho pu iho la hoi ia kakou i kahi lani ma o Kristo Iesu la:
6And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
7I hoike mai ai oia i na manawa mahope aku i ka nui loa o kona lokomaikai, ma ka hana maikai mai ia kakou ma o Kristo Iesu la.
7in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
8No ka mea, e hoolaia oukou i ka lokomaikai ma ka manaoio; aole hoi no oukou iho keia; he mea haawiia mai ia e ke Akua:
8For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,
9Aole no na hana ana, o kaena auanei kekahi.
9not by works, so that no one can boast.
10No ka mea, o kakou kana hana i hanaia ma o Kristo Iesu la, no na hana maikai, a ke Akua i hoomakaukau e mai ai, i haele kakou malaila.
10For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.
11No ia hoi, e hoomanao oukou, he lahuikanaka e oukou mamua ma ke kino, i kapaia he okipoepoe ole e ka poe i kapaia he okipoepoeia ma ke kino e na lima.
11Therefore remember that formerly you who are Gentiles in the flesh and called uncircumcised by the so-called circumcision (that done in the body by human hands)—
12Ia manawa, aole oukou i ike ia Kristo, he poe malihini oukou i ke aupuni o ka Iseraela, a he poe kanaka e i na berita o ka olelo hoopomaikai, aole o oukou manaolana, a he poe mea Akua ole ma koia ao.
12remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.
13Aka, i neia manawa iloko o Kristo Iesu, o oukou ka poe i mamao aku mamua, ua hookokokeia mai ma ko koko o Kristo.
13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
14No ka mea, oia ko kakou mea hookuikahi, ka i hoolilo i na mea elua i hookahi, a ua wawahi iho hoi i ka paku hookaawale iwaena;
14For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility
15Ua hoopau ae la hoi oia ma kona kino i ka mea e inaina ai, oia ko kanawai no na kauoha e me na kapu, i hoolilo ai oia i na mea elua i kanaka hou hookahi malalo iho ona, pela e hookuikahi ana;
15by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace
16I hoomalu ai hoi oia ia laua elua no ke Akua iloko o ke kino hookahi ma ke kea, e hoopau ana malaila i ka mea e inaina ai:
16and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He extinguished their hostility.
17Ua hele mai hoi, a hai mai la i ka olelo hoomalu ia oukou i ka poe mamao aku a me ka poe kokoke.
17He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.
18No ia hoi, ua loaa ia kakou i na poe elua ka hookipaia e ia iloko o ka Makua ma ka Uhane hookahi.
18For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
19Nolaila hoi, aole oukou he poe malihini a me ka poe kanaka e, aka, he poe kamaaina pu oukou me na haipule a me na ohua o ke Akua:
19Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,
20Ua kukuluia oukou maluna o ke kahua a na lunaolelo a me na kaula, o Iesu Kristo iho no ka pohaku kumu o ke kihi.
20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.
21A ua kapili pono ia ka hale a pau ma o na la, a lilo ae la ia i luakini laa no ka Haku.
21In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord.
22Ilaila hoi oukou i kapili pu ia'i, i wahi e noho ai o ke Akua ma ka Uhane.
22And in Him you too are being built together into a dwelling place for God in His Spirit.
