King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
1HE olelo oiaio keia, ina make make kekahi i ka oihana kahunapule, he hana maikai kana i makemake ai.
2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
2Eia ka pono no ke kahunapule, he hala ole, he kane na ka wahine hookahi, he kiai ia ia iho, he kuoo, he akahai, he hookipa, he akamai hoi i ke ao aku;
3Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
3Aole e lilo i ka waina, aole e kipikipi, aole hoi alunu wale; aka, e ahonui, a e hakaka ole, aole hoi makee waiwai;
4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
4E hoomalu maikai ana i kona hale iho me ka hoolohe pono ia mai e kana mau keiki me ka hanohano.
5(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
5No ka mea, ina i ike ole ke kanaka i ka hoomalu ana i kona hale iho, pehea la e hiki ai ia ia ke malama i ka ekalesia o ke Akua?
6Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
6Aole ka mea akahiakahi, o hookiekie ae oia a haule iloko o ka hoohewaia ana o ka diabolo.
7Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
7E pono hoi e hoaponoia mai ia e ka poe mawaho; o lilo i ka hoahewaia, a hei aku la i ke pahele a ka diabolo.
8Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
8Pela hoi na puuku ekalesia, e pono e noho kuoo, aole alelo lua, aole lilo i ka waina nui, aole hoi alunu wale;
9Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
9E hoopaa ana i ka mea pohihihi o ka manaoio me ka manao maemae.
10And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
10E hooiaio mua ia hoi lakou nei a ikea ka hala ole; alaila e lawe lakou i ka oihana puuku ekalesia.
11Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
11Pela hoi ka lakou mau wahine, e pono e noho kuoo, me ke aki ole, me ka noho malie, e hoopono ana ma na mea a pau.
12Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
12E pono hoi e lawe pakahi na puuku ekalesia i ka wahine, e hoomalu pono ana hoi i ka lakou mau keiki a me ko lakou mau hale iho.
13For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
13No ka mea, o ka poe i lawelawe pono i ka oihana puuku, ua loaa ia lakou kekahi pono nui, a me ka wiwo ole ma ka manaoio iloko o Kristo Iesu.
14These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:
14O keia mau mea ka'u e palapala aku nei ia oe, me ka manao e hele koke aku iou la;
15But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
15A i hakalia au, i ike oe i kou pono e hana ai maloko o ka hale o ke Akua, oia ka ekalesia o ke Akua ola, o ke kia a me ke kahua o ka olelo oiaio.
16And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
16Ua akaka no he mea nui ka mea pohihihi o ka manao i ke Akua: ua hoikeia mai ke Akua ma ke kino, ua hoaponoia mai e ka Uhane, ua ikea mai e na anela, ua haiia ku i ko na aina e, ua manaoio ia ma ke ao nei, a ua hookipaia'ku iluna i ka nani.
