Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
1A LAILA, olelo mai la o Iesu i ka poe kanaka a me kana poe haumana.
2saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.
2I mai la, Ke noho nei ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio ma ka noho o Mose.
3All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don’t do their works; for they say, and don’t do.
3Nolaila, o na mea a pau a lakou e kauoha mai ai e malama, e malama oukou ia a e hana aku pela; aka, mai hana oukou e like me ka lakou hana ana: no ka mea, ke olelo nei lakou, aole nae e hana.
4For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.
4Ke nakinaki nei lakou i na ukana kaumaha, a he luhi hoi ke hali, a ke kau nei iluna o na hokua o na kanaka; aole nae lakou e hoopa iki aku ia mau mea me kekahi manamanalima o lakou.
5But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the fringes of their garments,
5Ke hana nei lakou i ka lakou mau hana a pau, i ikea mai ai e na kanaka. Ke hoopalahalaha nei lakou i ua apana kanawai o lakou; a ke hoonui nei hoi lakou i na lepa o ka lakou aahu.
6and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
6Ke makemake nei lakou i na wahi maikai ma na ahaaina, a me na noho kiekie ma na halehalawai;
7the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.
7A me ka uwe alohaia'ku ma na aha kanaka, a me ke kapaia e na kanaka, E Rabi, e Rabi.
8But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’, for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.
8Aka, o oukou, mai kapaia oukou he Rabi, no ka mea, hookahi a oukou Kumu, o ka Mesia, a he poe hoahanau oukou a pau.
9Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
9Aole hoi e hoomakua aku oukou i kekahi kanaka ma ka honua nei; hookahi o oukou Makua, aia i ka lani.
10Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
10Aole hoi oukou e kapaia mai na Haku, hookahi o oukou Haku, o ka Mesia.
11But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
11O ka mea nui iwaena o oukou, he pono e lilo ia i kauwa na oukou.
12Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
12O ka mea hookiekie ae ia ia iho, e hoohaahaaia iho no ia; a o ka mea hoohaahaa ia ia iho, e hookiekieia'e oia.
13“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and as a pretense you make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
13Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio, na bookamani! no ka mea, ke papani nei oukou i ke aupuni o ka lani imua o na kanaka; no ka mea, aole oukou e komo ae, aole hoi oukou e ae aku e komo iloko ka poe e komo ana.
14“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don’t enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
14Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me na Parisaio, na hookamani! no ka mea, ua pau ia oukou na hale o na wahinekanemake; a ke hooloihi nei oukou i na pule i mea e ikea ai. No ia hoi, e loaa uanei ia oukou ka make nui loa.
15Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of Gehenna as yourselves.
15Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio, na hookamani! no ka mea, ke poaihaele nei oukou i ke kai a me ka aina, i kaana mai ai na oukou kekahi haumana; a loaa, ua hana oukou ia ia, a oi papalua kona keiki ana no Gehena mamua o ko oukou.
16“Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.’
16Auwe oukou, e na alakai makapo, ka i olelo, O ka hoohiki aku ma ka luakini he mea ole ia; aka, o ka mea hoohiki aku ma ke gula o ka luakini, he aie kana!
17You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
17He poe naaupo a me ka makapo: heaha ka mea oi, o ke gula anei, a o ka luakini anei, ka mea e laa ai ke gula?
18And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated.’
18A, o ka mea hoohiki aku ma ke kuahu, he mea ole ia; aka, o ka mea hoohiki aku ma ka mohai iluna iho, he aie kana.
19You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
19He poe naaupo a me ka makapo: heaha ka mea oi, o ka mohai anei, a o ke kuahu anei, ka mea e laa ai ka mohai?
20He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it.
20O ka mea hoohiki ma ke kuahu, oia no ka hoohiki ma ia mea a me na mea a pau maluna iho.
21He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who has been living in it.
21A o ka mea hoohiki aka ma ka luakini, oia no ke hoohiki aku ma ia mea, a me ka mea e noho ana iloko.
22He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it.
22A o ka mea hoohiki ma ka lani, oia ke hoohiki ma ka nohoalii o ke Akua, a me ka mea e noho ana iluna iho.
23“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
23Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio, na hookamani! no ka mea, ke hookupu nei oukou i ka hapaumi o ka mineta me ka aneto a me ke kumino; a ke haalele nei i na mea nui o ke kanawai, i ka hoopono, i ke aloha a me ka hooiaio: o ka oukou mau mea keia e pono ai ke hana, aole hoi e haalele i kela.
24You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
24E na alakai makapo, ke kanana nei i ka naonao, me ke ale wale iho i ke kamelo.
25“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness.
25Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio, na hookamani! no ka mea, ke holoi nei oukou ia waho o ke kiaha a me ke pa; aka, ua piha o loko i ka mea i kaili wale ia a me ka liki ole i ka hoomanawanui.
26You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
26E ka Parisaio makapo: e holoi mua oe ia loko o ke kiaha a me ke pa, i maemae pu ia me ko waho.
27“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones and of all uncleanness.
27Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio, na hookamani! no ka mea, ua like oukou me na halekupapau keokeo; ua ikea nae ko waho he maikai; aka, ua piha o loko i na iwikupapau a me ka pelapela.
28Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
28Pela hoi oukou, ua ikea e na kanaka, he maikai mawaho; aka, ua piha o loko i ka hoopunipuni a me ka pono ole.
29“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
29Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakauolelo a me ka poe Parisaio, na hookamani! no ka mea, ke hana nei oukou i na halekupapau no ka poe kaula, a ke hoonaui nei hoi i na halekupapau no ka poe haipule;
30and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we wouldn’t have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’
30A ke olelo nei oukou, Ina makou i ola pu i ka wa o ka makou poe kupuna, aole makou i hookahe pu me lakou i ke koko o ka poe kaula.
31Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
31Pela oukou e hoike mai nei ia oukou iho, he mamo oukou na ka poe pepehi kaula.
32Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
32E hoopiha ae hoi oukou i ke ana o ko oukou poe kupuna.
33You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna?
33E ka poe nahesa, ka ohana moonihoawa, pehea la auanei oukou e pakele ai i ka make ma gehena?
34Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city,
34Nolaila hoi, ke hoouna aku nei au ia oukou la i na kaula a me na kanaka naauao, a me na kakaoolelo: a na oukou e pepehi a e kau ma ke kea i kekahi poe o lakou; a e hahau hoi i kekahi poe o lakou ma na halehalawai; a e alualu hoi ia lakou mai keia kulanakauhale a kela kulanakauhale.
35that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
35I hookauia maluna iho o oukou ke koko hala ole a pau i hookaheia maluna o ka honua, mai ke koko o Abela o ke kanaka pono mai, a hiki i ke koko o Zakaria ke keiki a Barakia, a oukou i pepehi ai mawaena o ka luakini a me ke kuahu.
36Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
36He oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, E kau mai ana keia mau mea a pau maluna o keia hanauna.
37“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!
37E Ierusalema, e Iersualema! ka mea nana i pepehi i na kaula, a i hailuku hoi i ka poe i hoounaia mai iou nei; nani kuu makemake e houluulu mai i kau poe keiki, e like me ka houluulu ana a ka mea i kana ohana keiki malalo iho o kona mau eheu; aole nae oukou i makemake mai.
38Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
38Aia hoi, ua waiho neoneo ia no oukou ko oukou hale o noho ai.
39For I tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
39No ka mea, ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, Aole oukou e ike hou mai ia, u, a hiki i ka wa e olelo mai ai oukou, e hoomaikaiia ka mea e hele mai ana ma ka iuoa o ka Haku.
