Iakobo 4
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1NOHEA mai la na kaua a me na hakaka ana iwaena o oukou? Aole anei no na kuko o oukou e kaua ana iloko o ko oukou mau lala?
1From whence are wars and contentions among you? Are they not hence, from your concupiscences, which war in your members?
2Ua kuko hoi oukou, aole i loaa; ua huahuwa ae la oukou me ka pepehi aku, aole e hiki ia oukou ke loaa mai; ua hakaka oukou me ke kaua aku, aole nae i loaa, no ko oukou noi ole aku:
2You covet, and have not: you kill, and envy, and can not obtain. You contend and war, and you have not, because you ask not.
3Ke noi nei oukou, me ka loaa ole, no ka mea, ua noi pono ole oukou, i pau ai ia mea ma ko oukou mau kuko.
3You ask, and receive not; because you ask amiss: that you may consume it on your concupiscences.
4E na kane moe kolohe a me na wahine moe kolohe, aole anei oukou i ike, o ka hoolauna ana me ko ke ao nei, he ku e aku ia i ke Akua? O ka mea e makemake e hoolauna pu me ko ke ao nei, ua lilo ia i enemi no ke Akua.
4Adulterers, know you not that the friendship of this world is the enemy of God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of this world, becometh an enemy of God.
5Ke manao nei anei oukou ua olelo wale mai ka palapala, Ua kuko no ka uhane e noho ana iloko o kakou me ka huahuwa?
5Or do you think that the scripture saith in vain: To envy doth the spirit covet which dwelleth in you?
6Haawi mai la ia i ka lokomaikai mahuahua ae; no ia hoi, i mai la ia, Ku e aku la ke Akua i ka poe haaheo, a haawi mai la hoi i ka lokomaikai i ka poe hoohaahaa.
6But he giveth greater grace. Wherefore he saith: God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
7Nolaila, e hoolohe oukou i ke Akua; e pale aku hoi i ka diabolo, alaila e holo aku ia mai o oukou aku.
7Be subject therefore to God, but resist the devil, and he will fly from you.
8E hookokoke aku oukou i ke Akua, a e hookokoke mai kela ia oukou. E ka poe hewa, e hoomaemae i ko oukou mau lima, e huikala hoi i ko oukou mau naau, e ka poe naau lolelua.
8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners: and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9E ehaeha oukou, e u aku hoi me ka uwe; e hoolilo i ko oukou akaaka i uwe ana, a me ko oukou olioli i kaumaha.
9Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into sorrow.
10E hoohaahaa oukou ia oukou iho imua o ka Haku, a nana oukou e hookiekie ae.
10Be humbled in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
11E na hoahanau, mai olelo ino oukou i kekahi i kekahi. O ka mea e olelo ino aku no kona hoahanau, me ka hoohewa aku i kona hoahanau, oia ka i olelo ino aku no ke kanawai me ka hoohewa hoi i ke kanawai; ina oe i hoohewa aku i ke kanawai, aole loa oe i malama aku i ke kanawai, aka, ua lilo oe i mea kau kanawai.
11Detract not one another, my brethren. He that detracteth his brother, or he that judgeth his brother, detracteth the law, and judgeth the law. But if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
12Hookahi no mea nana i haawi i ke kanawai, e hiki no ia ia ke hoola a me ka luku aku hoi. Owai la hoi oe e hoohewa aku nei ia hai?
12There is one lawgiver, and judge, that is able to destroy and to deliver.
13E hele oukou, e ka poe e olelo ana, E hele makou i keia la paha, apopo paha i kahi kulanakauhale, a malaila makou e noho ai i hookahi makahiki, a e kuai aku, kuai mai, a e loaa ka waiwai;
13But who art thou that judgest thy neighbour? Behold, now you that say: Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and there we will spend a year, and will traffic, and make our gain.
14Oiai aole oukou i ike i ka ka la apopo. No ka mea, heaha ko oukou ola? Kainoa he wahi mahu no ia, i pua iki ae, alaila nalo ae la.
14Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow.
15Eia ko oukou pono e olelo ae, Ina e makemake mai ka Haku, alaila o ola makou, a e hana i kela mea, i keia mea.
15For what is your life? It is a vapour which appeareth for a little while, and afterwards shall vanish away. For that you should say: If the Lord will, and if we shall live, we will do this or that.
16Ano la, ua lealea oukou i ko oukou kaena ana; a o ia lealea a pau ua hewa ia.
16But now you rejoice in your arrogancies. All such rejoicing is wicked.
17Nolaila, o ka mea i ike i ka hana pono, aole nae i hana, he hewa no ia nona.
17To him therefore who knoweth to do good, and doth it not, to him it is sin.
