Iakobo 3
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1E NA hoahanau o'u, aole make lilo na mea o oukou he nui i poe kumu, o loaa auanei ia kakou ka hoohewa nui ia mai.
1Be ye not many masters, my brethren, knowing that you receive the greater judgment.
2No ka mea, ma na mea he nui ua hewa kakou a pau: i hewa ole kekahi ma kana olelo, oia ke kanaka hemolele, e hiki hoi ia ia ke hoopaa i kona kino iho a pau i ke kaulawaha.
2For in many things we all offend. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man. He is able also with a bridle to lead about the whole body.
3Aia hoi, ke hookomo nei kakou i na kaulawaha iloko o ka waha o na lio i hoolohe mai lakou ia kakou; hoohuli ae hoi kakou i ko lakou kino a pau.
3For if we put bits into the mouths of horses, that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body.
4Aia hoi, o na moku nui, ua hooholoia ae i na makani ikaika loa, a ua hoohuliia ae hoi e ka hoeuli uuku loa, ma kahi e makemake ai o ke kahu moku.
4Behold also ships, whereas they are great, and are driven by strong winds, yet are they turned about with a small helm, whithersoever the force of the governor willeth.
5Pela hoi, he lala unku ke alelo, a kaena nui ae la ia. Aia hoi, ua hoaaia he puu wahie nui e ka huna ahi!
5Even so the tongue is indeed a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold how small a fire kindleth a great wood.
6He ahi no ke alelo, he ao okoa ia o ka hewa; pela hoi ua kauia ke alelo iwaena o ko kakou mau lala, e hoohaumia ana i ke kino a pau, hoaa ae la ia i ko ke ao nei, a ua hoaaia mai ia e ka luaahi.
6And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is placed among our members, which defileth the whole body, and inflameth the wheel of our nativity, being set on fire by hell.
7Ua hoolakaia kela a me keia ano o na holoholona hihiu, a me na manu, a me na mea kolo, a me na mea hoi o ke kai, ua hoolakaia mai lakou e kanaka;
7For every nature of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of the rest, is tamed, and hath been tamed, by the nature of man:
8Aka, o ke alelo, aole loa e hiki i ke kanaka ke hoolakalaka ia mea; he mea ino laka ole ia, ua piha i ka mea awahia e make ai.
8But the tongue no man can tame, an unquiet evil, full of deadly poison.
9Oia ko kakou mea e hoomaikai aku ai i ke Akua i ka Makua; oia hoi ko kakou mea e hoino aku ai i kanaka i hanaia'i ma ke ano o ke Akua.
9By it we bless God and the Father: and by it we curse men, who are made after the likeness of God.
10Ua puka mai la ka hoomaikai a me ka hoino noloko mai o ka waha hookahi. E na hoahanau o'u, aole loa e pono keia mau mea pela.
10Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11E puapuai mai anei ka wai ono a me ka wai awaawa noloko mai o ka punawai hookahi?
11Doth a fountain send forth, out of the same hole, sweet and bitter water?
12E na hoahanau o'u, e hiki anei i ka laau fiku ke hua mai i ka hua oliva, a o ke kumu waina hoi i ka fiku? Oiaio hoi, aole e hiki i ka punawai hookahi ke kahe mai i ka wai awaawa a me ka wai ono.
12Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear grapes; or the vine, figs? So neither can the salt water yield sweet.
13Owai la ka mea akamai a me ka naauao iwaena o oukou? E hoike mai no ia ma ka noho maikai ana, i kana hana ana me ke akahai o ka naauao.
13Who is a wise man, and endued with knowledge among you? Let him shew, by a good conversation, his work in the meekness of wisdom.
14Ina ia oukou ka huahuwa ikaika a me ka manao hakaka iloko o ko oukou naau; mai haanui oukou, a wahahee aku i ka oiaio.
14But if you have bitter zeal, and there be contentions in your hearts; glory not, and be not liars against the truth.
15Aole oia ke akamai i iho mai mai luna mai, aka, no ka honua ia, a no ke kino, a no na daimonio hoi.
15For this is not wisdom, descending from above: but earthly, sensual, devilish.
16No ka mea, ma kahi e huahuwa ai a e hakaka ai hoi, aia malaila ka haunaele a me na hana ino a pau.
16For where envying and contention is, there is inconstancy, and every evil work.
17Aka, o ke akamai noluna mai, he maemae no ia mamua, alaila he noho malie, he akahai, he oluolu, he piha hoi i ka lokomaikai a me ka hua maikai, aole loa e manao ino aku, aole hoi he hookamani.
17But the wisdom, that is from above, first indeed is chaste, then peaceable, modest, easy to be persuaded, consenting to the good, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, without dissimulation.
18A o ka hua o ka pono ua luluia me ke kuikahi e ka poe e hana ana ma ke kuikahi.
18And the fruit of justice is sown in peace, to them that make peace.
