Epeso 4
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
World English Bible
1NO ia mea, owau ka paahao no ka Haku, ke nonoi aku nei ia oukou, e hele oukou ma ka mea e ku i ke koho ana a oukou i kohoia mai ai.
1I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,
2Me ka haahaa nui o ka naau, a me ke akahai, a me ka hoomanawanui hoi, a e ahonui aku kekahi i kekahi me ke aloha.
2with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
3E hooikaika oukou e hoomau i ka lokahi ana o ka manao, ma ke apo o ke kuikabi.
3being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4Hookahi no kino, hookahi hoi Uhane, e like me ka oukou i kohoia mai ai i ka manaolana hookahi o ko oukou kohoia ana:
4There is one body and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling,
5Hookahi no Haku, hookahi manaoio, hookahi bapetizo ana;
5one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6Hookahi hoi Akua, ka Makua o na mea a pau, oia maluna o na mea a pau, ma na mea a pau a iloko hoi o kakou a pau.
6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in us all.
7Ua haawiia mai hoi ka lokomaikai ia kakou a pau, e like me ke ana a Kristo i haawi mai ai.
7But to each one of us, the grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8Nolaila, i olelo mai ai oia, I kona pii ana iluna, ua kai pio ia i ka poe i pio, a haawi mai la hoi i na haawina i kanaka.
8Therefore he says, “When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people.”
9(A o keia, Ua pii aku la ia iluna heaha anei ia mea, i ole kela i iho ae mamua i na wahi malalo ae o ka honua?
9Now this, “He ascended”, what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?
10O ka mea i iho ae ilalo, oia no ka mea i pii aku maluna ae o ka lani kiekie loa, i hoopiha ai oia i na mea a pau.)
10He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
11Ua hoolilo iho la oia i kekahi poe i lunaolelo; a i kekahi poe i kaula; a i kekahi poe i kahuna hai olelo; a i kekahi poe i kahu ekalesia a me na kumu;
11He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;
12I mea e hooponopono ai i na haipule no ka oihana kahuna, a no ke kukulu paa ana i ke kino o Kristo:
12for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,
13A hiki aku kakou a pau i ka lokahi ana o ka manaoio, a me ka ike aku i ke Keiki a ke Akua, a lilo i kanaka makua, i poe naauao loa ma na mea o Kristo:
13until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
14I kamalii ole ai kakou ma ia hope aku i ka alealeia a me ka lauwiliia e na makani a pau o ka olelo, ma ka apiki a kanaka, a me ka maalea a lakou e imi ai i ka hoopunipuni;
14that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;
15Aka, e olelo oiaio aku ana me ke aleha, i nui ae kakou i na mea a pau iloko ona, oia o Kristo o ke poo.
15but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ,
16Ua kapili pono ia ke kino a pau e ia a paa i ke kokuaia mai e na ami a pau, ua hoonui ae la oia i ke kino e like me ke ano o ka ikaika o kela lala o keia lala, no ke kukulu paa ana ia ia iho ma ke aloha.
16from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.
17O keia hoi ka'u e olelo aku nei, a hoike aku hoi ma ka I Haku, mai haele hou oukou e like me na lahuikauaka e ma ka lapuwale o ko lakou naau:
17This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,
18Ua poeleele ko lakou manao ana, ua mamao loa mai ke ola aku o ke Akua, uo ka naaupo iloko o lakou, a me ka paakiki o ko lakou naau:
18being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts.
19A no ko lakou makau ole, ua hoolilo ia lakou iho i ka makaleho, e hana aku ai i ka haumia a pau me ka makermake.
19They, having become callous, gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20Aka, aole pela ka oukou i ao aku ai i ka Kristo:
20But you didn’t learn Christ that way,
21Ina paha i lohe oukou i kana, i aoia hoi oukou e ia, e like me ka oiaio iloko o Iesu:
21if indeed you heard him and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
22A no ka noho ana mamna, e haalele aku oukou i ke kanaka kahiko i haumia i na kuko hewa hoopunipuni:
22that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit,
23E hoano hou ia hoi oukou ma ka mauao ana o ko oukou naau;
23and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24E hoaahu iho hoi oukou i ke kanaka hou, i hanaia mamuli o ke Akua ma ka pono a me ka hemolele io.
24and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
25Nolaila, e haalele oukou i ka wahahee, e olelo oiaio aku hoi kela mea keia mea a pau i kona hoalauna; no ka mea he mau lala kakou o kekahi me kekahi.
25Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.
26A i huhu oukou, e ao o hewa auanei: mai hoomau i ko oukou inaina a napoo ka la.
26“Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath,
27Aole hoi e haawi aku oukou i kauwahi no ka diabolo.
27and don’t give place to the devil.
28O ka mea i aihue, mai aihue hou aku ia: aka hoi, e hana ia, e hooikaika ana me na lima i ka mea maikai, i loaa'i ia ia ka mea e haawi aku na ka mea nele.
28Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, producing with his hands something that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.
29Mai hoopuka ae oukou i ka olelo ino mai loko mai o ko oukou waha; aka, o ka olelomaikai no ke ku paa ana, hooluolu aku ai ia i ka poe lohe.
29Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
30Mai hooeha hoi i ka Uhane Hemolele o ke Akua, nana oukou i hoailona mai no ka la e hoolaia mai ai.
30Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
31E hookaawaleia na mea awaawa a pau mai o oukou aku, a me ka inaina, ka huhu, ka uwa, ka olelo ino, a me ka manao ino a pau.
31Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice.
32E lokomaikai oukou i kekahi e kekahi, e aloha aku me ka naau, e kala ana hoi kekahi i kekahi, e like me ka ke Akua i kala mai ai i ko oukou ma o Kristo la.
32And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
