Iakobo 2
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1E NA hoahanau o'u, i ko oukou manaoio ana ia Iesu Kristo i ko kakou Haku nani, mai manao aku ma ko ke kanaka helehelena.
1My brothers, as you hold out your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, do not show favoritism.
2No ka mea, ina e komo kekahi kanaka iloko o ko oukou halehalawai me ke komolima gula, a nani hoi kona kapa, a komo mai no hoi kekahi mea ilihune, inoino hoi kona kapa;
2Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in.
3A manao aku oukou ma ka mea i kahiko i ke kapa nani, a e olelo ae oukou, Maanei oe e noho ai ma kahi maikai; a e olelo aku hoi i ka mea ilihune, E ku oe malaila, a e noho paha oe maanei ma kuu paepae wawae;
3If you lavish attention on the man in fine clothes and say, “Here is a seat of honor,” but say to the poor man, “You must stand” or “Sit at my feet,”
4Aole anei oukou i lilo i poe paewaewa aku, e manao hewa wale aku ana?
4have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
5E hoolohe oukou, e na hoahanau aloha o'u, aole anei ke Akua i wae ae i ka poe ilihune o ke ao nei e lako i ka manaoio, a e lilo i poe hooilina o ke aupuni ana i olelo mai ai i ka poe e aloha aku ana ia ia?
5Listen, my beloved brothers: Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him?
6Aka, ua hoowahawaha oukou i ka poe ilihune. Aole anei i hooluhi mai ka poe waiwai ia oukou, a i alakai hoi ia oukou ma kahi e hookolokolo ai?
6But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who oppress you and drag you into court?
7Aole anei lakou i hoino i kela inoa maikai i kapaia aku ai oukou?
7Are they not the ones who blaspheme the noble name by which you have been called?
8Ina oukou e malama i ke kanawai hemolele me ia ma ka palapala, E aloha aku oe i kou hoalauna e like me oe iho, ina ua pono ka oukou hana ana;
8If you really fulfill the royal law stated in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
9Aka, ina e manao oukou ma ko ka helehelena, ua hana hewa oukou, a ua hoohewaia oukou e ke kanawai he poe lawehala.
9But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
10O ka mea malama i ke kanawai a pau, a i haule nae ia ma ka mea hookahi, ua hewa no ia i ke kanawai a pau.
10Whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
11No ka mea, o ka mea nana i kauoha mai, Mai moe kolohe oe, kauoha mai la no hoi, Mai pepehi kanaka oe. Ano, ina aole oe i moe kolohe aku, aka, ua pepehi i ke kanaka, ua lilo oe i mea haihai i ke kanawai.
11For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
12E olelo aku oukou, a e hana aku hoi, e like me ka poe e hookolokoloia ana ma ke kanawai o ke ola.
12Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom.
13O ka mea i hana me ke aloha ole aku, e hoahewaia auanei oia me ke aloha ole ia mai; aole makau ka lokomaikai i ka hoohewaia.
13For judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
14E na hoahanau o'u, heaha ka waiwai, ke olelo kekahi, he manaoio kona, aole hoi ana hana? E hiki anei i ka manaoio ke hoola ia ia?
14What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith, but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?
15Ina he kapa ole ko ke kaikaina paha, ke kaikuwahine paha, a i nele hoi i ka ai i kela la i keia la;
15Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.
16A i i aku kekahi o oukou ia laua, O hele olua me ka pomaikai, a e hoopumahanaia, a e maona no hoi; aole nae oukou e haawi io aku ia laua i ka mea e pono ai ke kino; heaha la ka waiwai?
16If one of you tells him, “Go in peace; stay warm and well fed,” but does not provide for his physical needs, what good is that?
17Pela no hoi ka manaoio, ina oia wale no aole ana hana, ua make ia.
17So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action, is dead.
18A e i mai kekahi, O ka manaoio kou, a na'u hoi ka hana ana; e hoike mai oe ia'u i kou manaoio me kau hana ole, a ma ka'u hana ana e hoike aku ai au ia oe i kuu manaoio.
18But someone will say, “You have faith and I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
19Ke manaoio nei oe, aia hookahi Akua; ua pono oe: pela no ka poe daimonio i manaoio ai, me ka haalulu hoi.
19You believe that God is one. Good for you! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
20E ke kanaka lapuwale, ke makemake nei anei oe e ike aku, ua make ka manaoio ke ole kana haua ana?
20O foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is worthless?
21Aole anei i hoaponoia mai o Aberahama ko kakou kupuna ma ka hana ana, i kona wa i mohai aku ai i kana keiki ia Isaaka maluna o ke kuahu?
21Was not our father Abraham justified by what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
22Ke ike nei oe, i hooikaika pu ka manaoio me kana hana ana, a ma ka hana ana i pouo ai ka manaoio.
22You see that his faith was working with his actions, and his faith was perfected by what he did.
23A ua hookoia hoi ka palapala, i i mai ai, Ua manaoio Aberahama i ke Akua, a ua hooiliia'e ia i pono nona; a ua kapaia iho la oia he hoaaloha no ke Akua.
23And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called a friend of God.
24Ke ike ae nei oukou, ua hoaponoia mai no ke kanaka ma na hana, aole ma ka manaoio wale no.
24As you can see, a man is justified by his deeds and not by faith alone.
25Aole anei i hoaponoia o Rahaba ka wahine hookamakama ma ka hana ana i ka wa ana i hookipa ai i na elele, a hoouna aku la ma ke ala e?
25In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute justified by her actions when she welcomed the spies and sent them off on another route?
26Oiaio no, o ke kino uhane ole, ua make no ia, pela hoi ka manaoio hana ole, ua make no ia.
26As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
