Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.
1E A HOOLOHE na kanaka a pau i ka ke alii maluna iho; no ka mea, aole alii, ke ae ole mai ke Akua; a o ka poe e alii ana, na ke Akua no lakou i hooalii mai.
2Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.
2No ia mea, o ka mea e hoole i ka ke alii, oia ke hoole i ka ke Akua kauoha: a o ka poe hoole, o lakou ke hoahewaia.
3For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the authority,
3No ka mea, aohe mea makau na alii no na hana maikai, aka, no na hana ino. Aole anei oe e makau i ko alii? E hana oe i ka mea pono, a e hoaponoia mai no oe e ia.
4for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.
4No ka mea, he kauwa ia na ke Akua e pono ai oe. Aka, ina e hana oe i ka hewa, e makau no oe; no ka mea, aole he mea ole kona lawe ana i ka pahikaua; no ka mea, o ke kauwa ia na ke Akua, he ilamuku e hoopai ana i ka mea hana hewa.
5Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
5No ia mea, he mea pono no kakou e hoolohe aku, aole no ka inaina wale no, aka, no ka manao aku i ka pono kekahi.
6For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, continually doing this very thing.
6Nolaila hoi, ho pono no oukou e hookupu aku kekahi; no ka mea, he poe lawehana lakou na ke Akua e malama ana ia mea.
7Therefore give everyone what you owe: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if customs, then customs; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
7Nolaila, e haawi aku i na kanaka a pau i ka lakou; i ka waiwai auhau i ka mea ho pono nona ke auhau mai; a i ke dute i ka mea he pono nona ke ohi mai; a i ka makau i ka mea he pono ke makauia ku; a i ka hoomaikai i ka mea he pono ko hoomaikaiia'ku.
8Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
8Mai noho a aie wale i ka kekahi, anoai ma ke aloha i kekahi i kekahi; no ka mea, o ka mea i aloha ia hai, oia ke malama i ko kanawai.
9For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
9No ka mea, eia, Mai moe kolohe oe; Mai pepehi kanaka oe; Mai aihue oe; Mai hoike wahahee oe; Mai kuko wale oe: a ina he kana wai e ae, ua komo poko ia iloko o keia olelo, o nei, E aloha oe i kou hoalauna e like me oe iho.
10Love doesn’t harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
10Aole e hana hewa ana ke aloha i kona hoalauna; nolaila o ke aloha ka hooko ana i ke kanawai.
11Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.
11Oia hoi, e hoomanao ana oukou i ka manawa, eia ka hora e ala'i kakou mai ka hiamoe ana; no ka mea, ano ua kokoke ae ko kakou ola, i ko ka wa i manaoio ai kakou.
12The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the deeds of darkness, and let’s put on the armor of light.
12Ua auwi ae nei ka po, ua kokoke mai hoi ke ao; nolaila e haalele aku kakou i na hana o ka pouli, a e aahu i na mea kaua no ka malamalama.
13Let’s walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.
13E hele pono kakou me ka hele ana i ka la; aole me ka uhauha ana a me ka ona ana, aole me ka moe kolohe ana a me ka makaleho ana, aole me ka hakaka ana a me ka ukiuki ana.
14But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
14Aka, e aahu oukou i ka Haku ia Iesu Kristo, aole e hoomakaukau no ke kino mamuli o kona mau kuko.
