Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1The high priest said, “Are these things so?”
1NINAU aku la ke kahuna nui, Pela no anei keia mau mea?
2He said, “Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,
2I mai la keia, E na kanaka, na hoahanau, a me na makua, e hoolohe mai; Ua ikea mai ke Akua nani e ko kakou kupuna e Aberahama, i kona noho ana ma Mesopotamia, i ka wa mamua aku o kona noho ana ma Harana:
3and said to him, ‘Get out of your land and away from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.’
3A i mai la ia ia, E puka aku oe, mai kou aina aku, a mai kou poe hoahanau aku hoi, a e hele i ka aina a'u e kuhikuhi aku ai ia oe.
4Then he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans and lived in Haran. From there, when his father was dead, God moved him into this land where you are now living.
4Alaila, hele aku la ia mawaho o ka aina o ko Kaledaio, a noho iho la ma Harana: a make kona makuakane, mai ia wahi mai i lawe mai ai oia ia ia, a i keia aina a oukou e noho nei.
5He gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on. He promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his offspring after him, when he still had no child.
5Aole hoi i haawi ia ia ia i hooilina maloko ona, aole no i kahi e ku ai ka wawae: ua olelo mai nae oia e haawi mai ia ia ia i kuleana nona, a no kana poe mamo mahope ona; ia manawa, aole ana keiki.
6God spoke in this way: that his offspring would live as aliens in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated for four hundred years.
6I mai la ke Akua penei, E noho malihini ana kana poe mamo ma ka aina e; a e hooluluhi pio ia ilaila, a e hoomainoinoia mai lakou, i na makahiki eha haneri.
7‘I will judge the nation to which they will be in bondage,’ said God, ‘and after that they will come out and serve me in this place.’
7A o ka lahuikanaka a lakou i hookauwa ai, na'u no ia e hoopai aku, wahi a ke Akua: a mahope iho o keia mau mea, e puka mai lakou iwaho, a e malama mai ia'u ma keia wahi.
8He gave him the covenant of circumcision. So Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day. Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.
8A haawi mai la ia ia i ka berita o ke okipoepoe ana; a hanau mai nana o Isaaka, a okipoepoe iho la ia ia i ka walu o ka la; a na Isaaka o Iakoba, a na Iakoba o na makualii, he umikumamalua.
9“The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt. God was with him
9A huahuwa iho la na makualii ia Iosepa, a kuai lilo aku la ia ia i ko Aigupita: aia no me ia ke Akua,
10and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
10A nana no i hoopakele mai ia ia, mailoko mai o kona mau popilikia a pau, a haawi mai ia ia i ka lokomaikaiia, a me ke akamai imua o Parao, o ke alii o Aigupita; a hoolilo iho la ia ia, i luna maluna o Aigupita, a me kona hale a pau.
11Now a famine came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction. Our fathers found no food.
11Ua hiki mai he wi maluna o ka aina a pau o Aigupita a me Kanaana, a me ka popilikia nui: aole i loaa i ko kakou mau kupuna ka mea ai.
12But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.
12A lohe ae la o Iakoba he ai ma Aigupita, hoouna mua aku la ia i ko kakou mau kupuna.
13On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family was revealed to Pharaoh.
13A i ka lua [o ka hele ana] hoike mai o Iosepa ia ia iho i kona poe hoahanau, a hoikeia'ku la ka ohana o Iosepa ia Parao.
14Joseph sent and summoned Jacob his father and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.
14Alaila, hoouna mai la o Iosepa, a kii mai la i kona makuakane ia Iakoba, a me kona poe hoahanau a pau; he mau uhane kanahikukumamalima lakou.
15Jacob went down into Egypt and he died, himself and our fathers;
15Iho ae la o Iakoba i Aigupita, a make iho la ia, a me ko kakou poe kupuna.
16and they were brought back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver from the children of Hamor of Shechem.
16A laweia'ku la lakou i Sukema, a waiho iho la maloko o ka halelua a Aberahama i kuai mai ai i ke kala me na keiki a Hemora, a ka makuakane o Sukema mai.
17“But as the time of the promise came close which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
17A kokoke hiki mai ka wa i oleloia mai ai, a ke Akua i hoohiki mai ai ia Aberahema, mahuahua na kanaka, a lehulehu ae la ma Aigupita;
18until there arose a different king who didn’t know Joseph.
18A ku mai la kekahi alii e ae, i ike ole ia Iosepa.
19The same took advantage of our race and mistreated our fathers, and forced them to abandon their babies, so that they wouldn’t stay alive.
19Hana maalea mai la ia i ko kakou lahuikanaka, a hana ino mai i na kupuna o kakou, a kiola aku la i ka lakou keiki hou, i ole lakou e ola.
20At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome to God. He was nourished three months in his father’s house.
20Ia manawa i hanau ai o Mose, a ua maikai loa ia, a hanaiia oia i ekolu malama maloko o ka hale o kona makuakane.
21When he was abandoned, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up and reared him as her own son.
21A i kona wa i hooleiia'i mawaho, lawe ae la ke kaikamahine a Parao ia ia, a malama iho la i keiki nana.
22Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.
22Ua aoia o Mose i ke akamai a pau o ko Aigupita, a ua mana hoi ma na olelo, a ma na hana ana.
23But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
23A hala na makahiki ona he kanaha, kupu iho la ka manao maloko o kona naau, e hele aku e ike i kona poe hoahanau, i ka poe mamo a Iseraela.
24Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.
24A ike aku la ia i kekahi mea e hana ino ia'ua, kokua aku la oia ia ia, a hooponopono mamuli o ka mea i hooluhi hewa ia mai, a pepehi aku la i ke kanaka o Aigupita.
25He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they didn’t understand.
25Manao iho la ia e hoomaopopo auanei kona poe hoahanau e haawi mai ana ke Akua i ola no lakou, ma kona lima; aka, aole lakou i ike.
26“The day following, he appeared to them as they fought, and urged them to be at peace again, saying, ‘Sirs, you are brothers. Why do you wrong one another?’
26A ia la ae, ikea oia ia lakou e paio ana, a koi aku la oia ia laua e kuikahi, i ae la, E na kanaka, he mau hoahanau olua, no ke aha la olua e hana ino nei kekahi i kekahi?
27But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
27Aka, o ka mea hana ino i ka hoa, kipaku aku la oia ia ia, i aku la, Nawai la oe i hoonoho ai i alii, a i lunakanawai maluna o makou?
28Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
28Ke manao nei anei oe e pepehi mai ia'u, e like me kou pepehi ana i ke kanaka o Aigupita inehinei?
29Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
29Holo aku la o Mose no keia olelo, a lilo i malihini ma ka aina Midiana, malaila i hanau ai nana, na keikikane elua.
30“When forty years were fulfilled, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.
30A pau na makahiki hookahi kanaha, ikeia mai la he anela o ka Haku ia ia, ma ka waonahele, ma ka mauna Sinai, maloko o ka lapalapa ahi o ka laau ooi.
31When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, the voice of the Lord came to him,
31A ike aku la o Mose, kahaha aku la i keia mea i ikeia; a hookokoke aku la no hoi ia e makaikai, a hiki mai ka leo o ka Haku io na la,
32‘I am the God of your fathers: the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ Moses trembled and dared not look.
32Owau no ke Akua o kou mau makua, ke Akua o Aberahama, ke Akua o Isaaka, ke Akua a Iakoba. Haalulu iho la o Mose, a makau ke makaikai aku.
33The Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
33Olelo mai la ka Haku ia ia, E wehe oe i kou mau kamaa, mai kou mau kapuwai aku; no ka mea, o kahi au e ku nei, he aina hoano ia.
34I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their groaning. I have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you into Egypt.’
34I ka nana ana, ua ike au i ka poino ana o ko'u poe kanaka ma Aigupita, a ua lohe no au i ko lakou kaniuhu ana, a ua iho mai nei au e hoopakele ia lakou: e hele mai hoi oe, a e hoouna aku au ia oe i Aigupita.
35“This Moses whom they refused, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’—God has sent him as both a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
35O ua Mose la, ka mea a lakou i hoole ai, me ka i ana'e, Owai ka mea i hoonoho ia oe, i alii, a i lunakanawai? oia no ka ke Akua i hoouna aku ai i alii, a i ola, ma ka lima o ka anela ana i ike aku ai iwaena o ka laau ooi.
36This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.
36Nana no lakou i alakai iwaho, e hana ana i na mea kupanaha, a me na hoailona ma ka aina o Aigupita, a me ke Kaiula, a ma ka waonahele i na makahiki hookahi kanaha.
37This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, ‘The Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me.’
37O ua Mose la keia, ka mea nana i olelo mai i na mamo a Iseraela, E hoala mai ana ka Haku, ko oukou Akua, i kekahi Kaula, mailoko mai o ko oukou poe hoahanau, e like me au nei; oia no ka oukou e hoolohe aku ai.
38This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received living revelations to give to us,
38Oia no ka mea maloko o ka ekalesia ma ka waonahele me ka anela nana i olelo mai ia ia, ma ka mauna ma Sinai, a me ko kakou poe kupuna hoi; a loaa no ia ia na olelo hoola, e haawi mai ia kakou.
39to whom our fathers wouldn’t be obedient, but rejected him and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
39Aole i makemake ai ko kakou poe kupuna e hoolohe ia ia, aka, kipaku aku la, a ma ka naau, huli hou no lakou i Aigupita,
40saying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods that will go before us, for as for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.’
40I ae la ia Aarona, E hana oe i mau akua no kakou, e hele aku mamua o kakou; no ka mea, o ua Mose la, ka mea i alakai mai ia kakou nei, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, aole kakou i ike i kona wahi i lilo aku ai.
41They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
41A ia mau la, hana iho la lakou i bipi keiki, a haawi aku la i mohai na ua kii akua la, a olioli iho la lakou i ka mea a ko lakou mau lima iho i hana'i.
42But God turned away and gave them up to serve the army of the sky, as it is written in the book of the prophets, ‘Did you offer to me slain animals and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
42Alaila huli aku la ke Akua, a kuu mai la ia lakou e hoomana aku i ka puali o ka lani; e like me ka mea i palapalaia maloko o ka buke a ka poe kaula, E ka ohana a Iseraela e, ua lawe mai anei oukou na'u i na mea i pepehiia, a me na mohai, i na makahiki hookahi kanaha ma ka waonahele?
43You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, the star of your god Rephan, the figures which you made to worship, so I will carry you away beyond Babylon.’
43A ua kaikai oukou i ka halelewa o Moloka, a me ka hoku o ko oukou akua o Remepana, i na kii a oukou i hana'i, i mea e hoomana aku ai ia lakou; a na'u no oukou e lawe aku ma o aku o Babulona.
44“Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he who spoke to Moses commanded him to make it according to the pattern that he had seen;
44Ua loaa no i ko kakou poe kupuna ma ka waonahele, ka halelewahoike, e like me ka olelo ana i olelo mai ai ia Mose, e hana ia mea me ke kumu ana i ike ai.
45which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered into the possession of the nations whom God drove out before the face of our fathers to the days of David,
45O ka mea hoi a ko kakou poe kupuna i lawe a kai mai ai me Iosua, i ke kuleana o ka lahuikanaka e a ke Akua i kipaku aku ai, mai ka maka aku o ko kakou poe kupuna, a hiki wale mai i na la o Davida.
46who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
46Loaa no hoi ia ia ka lokomaikaiia mai imua i ke alo o ke Akua, noi aku la ia e hoomakaukau i wahi e noho ai, no ke Akua o Iakoba.
47But Solomon built him a house.
47Na Solomona nae i kukulu i hale nona.
48However, the Most High doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,
48Aka, aole e noho ka Mea Kiekie maloko o na luakini i hanaia e na lima; e like me ka mea i oleloia mai ai e ke kaula,
49‘heaven is my throne, and the earth a footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build me?’ says the Lord. ‘Or what is the place of my rest?
49O ka lani ko'u nohoalii, a o ka honua hoi ko'u keehana wawae. Heaha ka hale a oukou e kukulu ai no'u? wahi a ka Haku; heaha hoi ko'u wahi e maha ai?
50Didn’t my hand make all these things?’
50Aole anei na ko'u lima i hana keia mau mea a pau?
51“You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.
51E ka poe ai oolea, ka poe i okipoepoe ole ia ma ka naau, a ma ka pepeiao, ua mau loa ko oukou pale ana i ka Uhane Hemolele; e like me ko oukou kupuna, pela no hoi oukou nei.
52Which of the prophets didn’t your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.
52Owai kekahi mea o ka poe kaula i hoomaau ole ia e ko oukou poe kupuna? Ua pepehi hoi lakou i ka poe nana i hai mua mai i ka hiki ana mai o ka Mea Hemolele, ka mea a oukou i kumakaia iho nei a pepehi iho la.
53You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn’t keep it!”
53Ua loaa no hoi ia oukou ke kanawai, na ka poe anela i hoolaha mai, aole nae oukou i malama.
54Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
54A lohe lakou i keia mau mea, walania iho la ko lakou naau, nau iho la ko lakou mau kui ia ia.
55But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
55Aka, ua piha no ia i ka Uhane Hemolele, a haka pono aku la ia i ka lani, a ike aku la i ka nani o ke Akua, a me Iesu e ku ana ma ka lima akau o ke Akua;
56and said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”
56I mai la ia, Aia hoi, ke ike aku nei au i na lani e hamama ana, a me ke Keiki a ke kanaka e ku ana ma ka lima akau e ke Akua.
57But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears, then rushed at him with one accord.
57Uwa aku la lakou me ka leo nui, papani iho la i ko lakou mau pepeiao, a lele lokahi mai la maluna ona;
58They threw him out of the city and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
58Kiola aku la ia ia mawaho o ke kulanakauhale, a hailuku aku la; a waiho iho la na mea hoike i ko lakou aahu ma ka wawae o kekahi kanaka ui, i kapaia o Saulo.
59They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
59Hailuku aku la lakou ia Setepano, kahea ana me ka olelo aku, E ka Haku, e Iesu, e hookipa aku oe i kuu uhane.
60He kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, “Lord, don’t hold this sin against them!” When he had said this, he fell asleep.
60Kukuli iho la ia a hea aku la me ka leo nui, E ka Haku, mai kau oe i keia hewa maluna o lakou. A pau kana olelo ana pela, hiamoe iho la ia.
