Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don’t faint.
1NO ia hoi, no ka loaa ana mai o keia oihana ia makou ma ka lokomaikaiia mai, aole o makou manaka.
2But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
2Aka, ua kipaku aku makou i na mea huna e hilahila ai, aole makou i hele me ka maalea, aole hoi i nana i ka olelo a ke Akua me ka hoopunipuni; aka, ma ka hoakaka ana'ku i ka oiaio, ke hoike nei makou ia makou iho i na naau a pau o kanaka, he pono imua o ke Akua.
3Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are dying,
3A i uhiia ka makou euanelio, ua uhiia oia no ka poe e lilo ana i ka make.
4in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.
4Ma o lakou la, ua hoomakapo mai ko keia ao akua i na naau o ka poe hoomaloka, o akaka mai auanei ia lakou ka malamalama o ka euanelio nani a Kristo; oia ko ke Akua mea like.
5For we don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake,
5No ka mea, aole makou e hai aku ia makou iho, aka, ia Kristo Iesu i ka Haku: a ia makou iho he mau kauwa na oukou no Iesu.
6seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
6No ka mea, o ke Akua nana i kena ka malamalama e poha mai noloko mai o ka pouli, oia ka i hoomalamalama mai iloko o ko makou naau, i malamalama i ikea ka nani o ko Akua ma ka maka o Iesu Kristo.
7But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves.
7Ia makou no keia waiwai iloko o na ipu lepo, i ikea ka mana nui, no ke Akua ia, aole no makou.
8We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
8Ua hookeia mai makou a puni, aole nae i pilikia; ua lauwiliia mai makou, aole hoi i pilihua.
9pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
9Ua hoomaauia mai makou, aole nae i haaleleia; ua kulaina mai makou, aole hoi i make.
10always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
10E lawe mau ana makou ma ke kino i ka make ana o ka Haku o Iesu, i hoikeia hoi ke ola ana o Iesu ma ko makou kino.
11For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.
11No ka mea, o makou ka poe e ola nei, ua haawi mau ia'ku makou e make no Iesu, i hoikeia hoi ke ola ana o Iesu ma ko makou kino make.
12So then death works in us, but life in you.
12Nolaila, ke hooikaika nei ka make iloko o makou, a o ke ola iloko o oukou.
13But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, “I believed, and therefore I spoke.” We also believe, and therefore we also speak,
13No ka ikaika like o ko makou manaoio, me ka mea i palapalaia, Ua manaoio iho la au, nolaila au i olelo aku ai; ke manaoio nei no hoi makou, nolaila makou e olelo aku nei:
14knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also through Jesus, and will present us with you.
14Ke ike nei makou, o ka mea nana i hoala mai ka Haku o Iesu, e hoala mai no hoi oia ia makou ma o Iesu la, a e hoike pu ae ia makou me oukou.
15For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
15No ka mea, no oukou ia mau mea a pau, i hoonui ae ka lokomaikai nui i ka nani o ke Akua, ma ka hoomaikai ana'ku o na mea he nui.
16Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward person is decaying, yet our inward person is renewed day by day.
16No ia mea, aole o makou manaka; aka, ina paha ua nawaliwali iho ko makou kino mawaho, ua hooikaika mau ia no nae ko loko, i kela la i keia la.
17For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory,
17No ka mea, o ko makou hoino nuku pokole wale ia no, ke hana mai nei no ia i ka nani nui mau loa no makou:
18while we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
18I ko makou manao ole ana i na mea i ike maka ia, i na mea no i ike maka ole ia: no ka mea, he pokole na mea i ike maka ia; aka, he mau loa na mea i ike maka ole ia.
