Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.
1A HALA na la elima, iho ae la o Anania, ke kahuna nui, a me na lunakahiko, a me kekahi loio, o Teretulo, hoopii mai la lakou ia Paulo i ke alii kiaaina.
2When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that prosperity is coming to this nation by your foresight,
2Kiiia'ku la ia, hoomaka iho la o Teretulo e hoopii ia ia, i ae la, Ua malu loa makou ia oe, ua nui loa no hoi na mea kaulana i loaa mai i keia aina i kou malama ana,
3we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
3E Pelika kiekie, ke lawe maikai nei makou ia mau mea, ma na wahi a pau loa, me ke aloha nui aku:
4But that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
4Aka, o hooluhi aku au ia oe, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, i kou lokomaikai, e hoolohe iki mai ia makou.
5For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
5No ka mea, ua ike makou i keia kanaka, ua kolohe, he kanaka hooeueu ana o ke ku e mawaena o na Iadaio a pau ma na aina a pau, oia no hoi kekahi kumu nui o ka papa Nazarene.
6He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.
6Ua hoao ae la ia e hoohaumia i ka luakini; na makou ia i hopu iho, a makemake iho la makou e hookolokolo e like me ko makou kanawai.
no verse 7 in this text
7Aka, hele mai la o Lusia, ka lunatausani, a kai aku la ia ia me ka ikaika nui, mailoko aku o ko makou mau lima,
8By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”
8Kena mai no hoi ia i ka poe nana ia i hoopii e hele mai iou nei. A ina hookolokolo oe, e ike auanei oe i ka oiaio o keia mau mea a pau a makou e hoopii aku nei nona.
9The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
9Ae mai la na Iudaio, i mai la, Oiaio no keia mau mea.
10When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, “Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,
10Kunou ae la ke alii ia Paulo e olelo mai, alaila i mai la ia. No kuu ike ana, he nui na makahiki ia oe, i lunakanawai no ko keia aina, no ia mea, ua oluolu loa wau e olelo aku i na mea no'u iho.
11seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
11E hiki no ia oe ke hoomaopopo, he umi ae nei la wale no i hala, a me kumamalua, mai ko'u pii ana aku i Ierusalema e hoomana.
12In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city.
12Aole hoi au i loaa ia lakou maloko o ka luakini, e hoopaapaa ana me kekahi, aole hoi e hoohaunaele ana i ke lehulehu, aole maloko o na halehalawai, aole hoi maloko o ke kulanakauhale;
13Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
13Aole hoi e hiki ia lakou ano ke hooiaio i na mea a lakou e hoopii mai nei ia'u.
14But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;
14Aka, ke hai pono aku nei au ia oe i keia, ma ka aoao i oleloia'i e lakou, he aoao ku e, pela no wau e hoomana aku nei i ke Akua o ko'u mau kupuna, e manaoio ana aku i na mea a pau i kakauia'i ma ke kanawai, a ma ka na kaula.
15having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
15Ke lana nei ko'u manao i ke Akua, ua ae mai no hoi lakou i keia, i ke alahouana o ka poe make, o ka poe pono a me ka poe pono ole.
16In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
16Malaila no hoi au e hooikaika nei e loaa mau ka lunaikehala hewa ole imua o ke Akua a me na kanaka.
17Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
17A hala na makahiki he nui, hele aku la au e lawe i ka waiwai manawalea, a me na mohai, no na kanaka o ko'u aina.
18amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
18Loaa iho la au maloko o ka luakini i kekahi mau Iudaio, mai Asia mai, ua huikalaia, aole me ka lehulehu, aole hoi me ka hoohaunaele.
19They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation if they had anything against me.
19Ina i loaa ia lakou kekahi hewa no'u, e hoopii mai ai, ina ua pono o lakou kekahi pu mai imua ou.
20Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
20E pono no hoi ia lakou nei ke olelo mai, ina paha ua loaa ia lakou ko'u hewa, ia'u i ku ai imua o ka ahalunakanawai;
21unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”
21No keia leo hookahi wale no a'u i hea aku ai, i ko'u ku ana iwaena o lakou. No ke alahouana o ka poe make, oia ko'u mea i hookolokoloia mai ai imua o oukou i keia la.
22But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.”
22A lohe o Pelika i keia, hoopanee aku ia lakou a ike maopopo aku la oia i na mea o keia aoao, i ae la, A iho mai o Lusia, ka lunatausani, alaila, e hoomaopopo lea au i ka oukou.
23He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.
23Alaila, olelo aku la ia i ka lunahaneri e malama ia Paulo, aole hoi e paa maoli, aole e papa aku i kekahi o kona mau makamaka, ke lawelawe nana, a e hele mai hoi ia ia.
24After some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.
24A hala kekahi mau la, hiki mai la o Pelika me kana wahine, o Derausila, he Iudaio no ia, kii aku la kela ia Paulo, hoolohe aku la ia ia no ka manaoio iloko o Kristo.
25As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.”
25A i kana kamailio ana no ka pono, a me ka pakiko, a me ka hookolokoloia e hiki mai ana mahope, haalulu iho la o Pelika, i aku la, O hoi oe i keia wa; a loaa ia'u ka manawa kaawale, e kii hou aku no au ia oe.
26Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often and talked with him.
26E manaolana ana hoi ia e haawiia mai e Paulo na kala nana, i weheia'ku ai ia e ia. No ia mea, kii pinepine aku la oia ia ia, i kamakamailio laua.
27But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
27A hala ae la na makahiki elua, hiki ae la ma ko Pelika hakahaka, o Porekio Peseto, a waiho iho la o Pelika ia Paulo e paa ana, no kona makemake e hooluolu i na Iudaio.
