Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.
1O WAU iho, o Paulo, ka mea haahaa i ko'u noho ana me oukou, aka, ma kahi e ua au ko'u manao ia oukou, ke noi aku nei au ia oukou ma ke akahai a me ka oluolu o Kristo.
2Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.
2Ke noi aku nei au, i aa ole ko'u naau me oukou, e like me ko'u manao e aa aku i kekahi poe e manao mai ana ia makou, ua holo makou mamuli o ke kino.
3For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh;
3No ka mea, ke noho nei makou me ke kino, aole nae makou e kaua aku mamuli o ke kino.
4for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,
4(Aole no ke ao nei na mea kaua o ko makou kaua ana; aka, he ikaika nae i ke Akua o hoohiolo iho ai i na pakaua;)
5throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
5E hoohiolo ana hoi i na manao, a me na mea kiekie a pau e hookiekie ana ae, e ku e i ka naanao o ke Akua, a e kai pio ana i na inanao a pau i ka hoolohe aku ia Kristo:
6and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.
6Ua makaukau hoi makou e hoopai aku i ka hookuli a pau, aia ku pono mai ko oukou hoolohe.
7Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s.
7Ke nana nei anei oukou i na mea ma ka helehelena? A i manao kekahi ia ia iho, ua lilo ia no Kristo, he pono no e manao hou ia ia iho, me ia i lilo ai no Kristo, pela no hoi makou i lilo ai no Kristo.
8For even if I boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,
8No ka mea, ina paha wau e kaena nui aku i ko makou mana a ke Akua i haawi mai ai ia makou no ke kukulu paa, aole no ka luku aku ia oukou, aole no au e hilahila:
9that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.
9I manao ole ia mai au e hooweliweli aku ana ia oukou ma na palapala.
10For, “His letters”, they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”
10Ke olelo ae la lakou, Ua koikoi a ua ikaika kana mau palapala; aka, ua palupalu kona kino ma ke kokoke, a o kana olelo ana, oia ke hoowahawahaia.
11Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.
11O ka mea i olelo pela, eia kana e manao pono ai; e like me ka makou olelo ana ma ka palapala ma kahi e, pela io no auanei makou e hana aku ai ma ke kokoke.
12For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
12Aole makou e hiki ke hoopili aku, aole hoi e hoohalike aku ia makou iho me kekahi poe e hoomaikai ana ia lakou iho; no ka mea, i ke ana ana ia lakou iho ma ko lakou iho, a i ka hoohalike ana ia lakou iho me ko lakou iho, aole i naauao lakou.
13But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.
13Aole makou e kaena i na mea i ana ole ia, aka, e like me ke ana o ka mokuna a ke Akua i haawi mai ai, e hiki aku ana io oukou la.
14For we don’t stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn’t reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ,
14Aole makou i hele ma o aku o ko makou mokuna me he hiki ole aku io oukou la; aka, ua hiki aku hoi makou io oukou la me ka euanelio a Kristo.
15not boasting beyond proper limits in other men’s labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,
15Aole no makou e kaena aku i na mea i ana ole ia maloko o na hana a hai; aka, ke manao nei makou, aia mahuahua ae ko oukou manaoio, e hoonui loa ia'e makou e oukou maloko o ko makou mokuna,
16so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.
16I hai aku ai makou i ka euanelio ma o aku o ko oukou wahi, aole no hoi e kaena aku i na mea i hoomakaukau e ia mai maloko o ko hai mokuna.
17But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
17A o ka mea e kaena ana, he pono no ia e kaena i ka ka Haku.
18For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
18No ka mea, aole i aponoia mai ka mea hoomaikai ia ia iho, aka, o ka mea a ka Haku i hoomaikai mai.
