Roma 7
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
World English Bible
1A OLE anei i ike oukou, e na hoahanau, (no ka mea, ke olelo aku nei au i ka poe i ike i ke kanawai,) e kau ana ke kanawai maluna o ke kanaka i kona wa a pau e ola nei?
1Or don’t you know, brothers (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man for as long as he lives?
2No ka mea, o ka wahine mea kane, ua paa ia i kana kane ma ke kanawai, i kona wa a pau e ola ana kana kane; a make ke kane, ua kuuia oia mai ke kanawai aku o kana kane.
2For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.
3No ia hoi, e kapaia oia he wahine moe kolohe ke mare ia i ke kane hou i ka wa e ola ana kana kane; aka, ina i make ke kane, ua kuuia oia mai ke kanawai aku; aole ia he wahine moe kolohe ke mare ia i ke kane e.
3So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.
4Pela hoi oukou, e na hoahanau o'u, ua make oukou i ke kanawai, ma ke kino o Kristo, i mareia'i oukou i ka mea i hoala hou ia mai waena mai o ka poe make, i hoohua kakou i ka hua no ke Akua.
4Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might produce fruit to God.
5No ka mea, i ka wa i noho ai kakou ma ke kino, o ko kakou mau kuko hewa no ke kanawai, ua hooikaika maloko o ko kakou mau lala e hoohua mai i ka hua no ka make.
5For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law worked in our members to bring out fruit to death.
6Ano hoi ua kuuia kakou mai ke kanawai, ka mea i paa pio ai kakou, no ka mea, ua make kakou ia mea; i hookauwa hoi kakou me ka hou ana o ka uhane, aole ma ka mea kahiko o ke kanawai.
6But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
7Heaha hoi ka kakou e olelo nei? He hewa anei ke kanawai? Aole loa; aka, ma ke kanawai wale no i ike ai au i ka hewa; no ka mea, ina aole i papa mai ke kanawai, Mai kuko wale aku oe, ina aole au i ike i ke kuko ana.
7What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”
8Aka, ma ke kauoha i loaa'i i ka hewa ka wa maopopo, hoala ae la ia i kela kuko wale i keia kuko wale iloko o'u. No ka mea, me ke kanawai ole, ua make ka hewa.
8But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
9No ia hoi, ola no au mamua me ke kanawai ole, a hiki mai ke kauoha, ala ae la ka hewa, a make iho la au.
9I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.
10Oia, o ke kauoha e ola'i, ua loaa ia'u he mea ia e make ai.
10The commandment which was for life, this I found to be for death;
11No ka mea, loaa ae la i ka hewa ka wa maopopo ma ke kauoha, ua puni au ia ia a ua make au ia ia ma ia mea.
11for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
12Nolaila, ua hemolele ke kanawai, a ua hemolele hoi, ua pono, ua maikai ke kauoha.
12Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, righteous, and good.
13Ua lilo anei ka mea maikai i make no'u? Aole loa ia; aka, o ka hewa, i ikeia hoi ia ho hewa io, e hana ana i ka make iloko o'u ma ka mea maikai, i akaka ae la ma ke kauoha he mea lawehala loa ka hewa.
13Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, was producing death in me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceedingly sinful.
14No ka mea, ua ike no au ma ko ka uhane ke kanawai; aka, ma ko ke kino wau, ua kuaiia na ka hewa.
14For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
15No ka mea, o ka mea a'u i hana'i, aole au e hoapono; no ka mea, aole ka mea a'u i makemake ai ka'u i hana'i, aka, hana no wau i ka mea a'u i hoowahawaha ai.
15For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
16Ina hoi e hana wau i ka mea a'u i makemake ole ai, ua ae aku au i ke kanawai, he pono.
16But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.
17Ano hoi aole na'u ia i hana, aka, na ka hewa e noho ana iloko o'u.
17So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
18No ka mea, ua ike au, aole e noho ana iloko o'u, oia hoi iloko o ko'u kino, kekahi mea maikai; no ka mea, o ka makemake eia no ia'u ia, aka, o ka hana i ka pono aole i loaa ia'u.
18For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good.
19No ka mea, aole au i hana i ka pono a'u i makemake ai; aka o ka hewa a'u i hoowahawaha ai, oia ka'u i hana'i.
19For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practice.
20A ina i hana au i ka mea a'u i makemake ole ai, aole na'u ia i hana, aka, na ka hewa no e noho ana iloko o'u.
20But if what I don’t desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
21Ua loaa hoi ia'u he kanawai no'u, i ko'u wa e makemake ai e hana pono, ua kokoke mai no ka hewa.
21I find then the law that, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
22No ka mea, ua oluolu no wau i ke kanawai o ke Akua, ma ke kanaka oloko;
22For I delight in God’s law after the inward person,
23Aka, ua ike au i kekahi kanawai iloko o ko'u mau lala e hakaka ana me ke kanawai o ko'u manao, a e hoolilo ana ia'u i pio no ke kanawai o ka hewa iloko o ko'u mau lala.
23but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.
24Auwe hoi au ke kanaka poino! nawai au e hoopakele ae i ke kino nona keia make.
24What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
25Ke aloha aku nei au i ke Akua ma o Iesu Kristo la o ko kakou Haku. No ia hoi, owau nei la, ua malama wau i ke kanawai o ke Akua, aka ma ko'u kino i ke kanawai o ka hewa.
25I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord! So then with the mind, I myself serve God’s law, but with the flesh, sin’s law.
