Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
1O OUKOU hoi kekahi, oka poe i make iloko o na hala a me na hewa;
2in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience.
2Ma ia mau mea oukou i hele ai mamua, ma ka aoao o keia ao, mamuli o ke alii ikaika o ka lewa, o ka uhane e hooikaika ana iloko o na keiki hoolohe ole.
3We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
3Me lakou hoi makou a pau i noho ai mamua ma na kuko newa o ko makou kino, e hana ana i na raakemake o ke kino a mo ka naau; a ma ka aoao maoli he poe keiki makou no ka inainaia, e like me na mea e ae.
4But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
4Aka, o ke Akua, ka mea i piha i ko aloha, ma kona makemake nui ana i makemake mai ai ia kakou,
5even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
5I ko kakou wa make i na hala, ua hoola mai oia ia kakou pu me Kristo, (ma ka lokomaikai oukou e ola'i;)
6and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
6A ua hoala pu ae la, a ua hoonoho pu iho la hoi ia kakou i kahi lani ma o Kristo Iesu la:
7that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;
7I hoike mai ai oia i na manawa mahope aku i ka nui loa o kona lokomaikai, ma ka hana maikai mai ia kakou ma o Kristo Iesu la.
8for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
8No ka mea, e hoolaia oukou i ka lokomaikai ma ka manaoio; aole hoi no oukou iho keia; he mea haawiia mai ia e ke Akua:
9not of works, that no one would boast.
9Aole no na hana ana, o kaena auanei kekahi.
10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
10No ka mea, o kakou kana hana i hanaia ma o Kristo Iesu la, no na hana maikai, a ke Akua i hoomakaukau e mai ai, i haele kakou malaila.
11Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by hands),
11No ia hoi, e hoomanao oukou, he lahuikanaka e oukou mamua ma ke kino, i kapaia he okipoepoe ole e ka poe i kapaia he okipoepoeia ma ke kino e na lima.
12that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
12Ia manawa, aole oukou i ike ia Kristo, he poe malihini oukou i ke aupuni o ka Iseraela, a he poe kanaka e i na berita o ka olelo hoopomaikai, aole o oukou manaolana, a he poe mea Akua ole ma koia ao.
13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
13Aka, i neia manawa iloko o Kristo Iesu, o oukou ka poe i mamao aku mamua, ua hookokokeia mai ma ko koko o Kristo.
14For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
14No ka mea, oia ko kakou mea hookuikahi, ka i hoolilo i na mea elua i hookahi, a ua wawahi iho hoi i ka paku hookaawale iwaena;
15having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace,
15Ua hoopau ae la hoi oia ma kona kino i ka mea e inaina ai, oia ko kanawai no na kauoha e me na kapu, i hoolilo ai oia i na mea elua i kanaka hou hookahi malalo iho ona, pela e hookuikahi ana;
16and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.
16I hoomalu ai hoi oia ia laua elua no ke Akua iloko o ke kino hookahi ma ke kea, e hoopau ana malaila i ka mea e inaina ai:
17He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.
17Ua hele mai hoi, a hai mai la i ka olelo hoomalu ia oukou i ka poe mamao aku a me ka poe kokoke.
18For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
18No ia hoi, ua loaa ia kakou i na poe elua ka hookipaia e ia iloko o ka Makua ma ka Uhane hookahi.
19So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,
19Nolaila hoi, aole oukou he poe malihini a me ka poe kanaka e, aka, he poe kamaaina pu oukou me na haipule a me na ohua o ke Akua:
20being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
20Ua kukuluia oukou maluna o ke kahua a na lunaolelo a me na kaula, o Iesu Kristo iho no ka pohaku kumu o ke kihi.
21in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
21A ua kapili pono ia ka hale a pau ma o na la, a lilo ae la ia i luakini laa no ka Haku.
22in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
22Ilaila hoi oukou i kapili pu ia'i, i wahi e noho ai o ke Akua ma ka Uhane.
