Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
1NO ia hoi, heaha anei ka mea e oi aku ai ka Iudaio? Heaha hoi ka pomaikai o ke okipoepoe ana?
2Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the revelations of God.
2He nui no ma kela mea, ma keia mea; eia hoi ka mua, ua haawiia mai ia lakou na kanawai o ke Akua.
3For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
3Heaha hoi i manaoio ole kekahi poe? E hiolo anei ka oiaio o ke Akua i ko lakou hoomaloka?
4May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, “that you might be justified in your words, and might prevail when you come into judgment.”
4Aole loa ia; aka, e hooiaioia ku ke Akua ke hoopunipuni na kanaka a pau: me ka mea i palapalaia, I hoaponoia'i oe i kau olelo ana mai, a i lanakila hoi oe i kou hoahewa ana mai.
5But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.
5A ina e hoakaka ae ko kakou hewa i ka pono o ke Akua, heaha ka kakou mea e olelo ai? He pono ole anei ke Akua ke hooili mai i ka inaina? (ke olelo nei au ma ka ke kanaka;)
6May it never be! For then how will God judge the world?
6Aole loa: ina pela, pehea la e hoopai mai ai ke Akua i ko ke ao nei?
7For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
7A ina i lilo ka oiaio o ke Akua i mea e nui ai kona nani, no ko'u hoopunipuni ana; no ke aha la e hoohewaia mai ai au e like me ke kanaka hewa?
8Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), “Let’s do evil, that good may come?” Those who say so are justly condemned.
8E olelo anei kakou, e like me ka makou i olelo ino ia mai ai, a e like me ka kekahi poe i olelo no makou, E hana hewa kakou e hiki mai ai ka maikai? He pono ko lakou hoohewaia.
9What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.
9Heaha hoi? ua oi aku anei kakou? Aole loa; no ka mea, ua hoakaka makou mamua, O na Iudaio a me na Helene, ua pau pu lakou i ka hewa;
10As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one.
10E like me ka mea i palapalaia, Aole loa he mea pono, aole hookahi.
11There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
11Aole no he mea i ike, aole hoi he mea i imi i ke Akua.
12They have all turned away. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not so much as one.”
12Ua pau lakou i ka hele hewa, ua lilo lakou i poe pono ole; aole loa he mea e hana ana i ka maikai, aole loa hookaki.
13“Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.” “The poison of vipers is under their lips.”
13O ko lakou kaniai he lua kupapau hamama; ua hoopunipuni lakou me ko lakou mau alelo; aia malalo o ko lakou mau lehelehe ka mea make a na moonihoawa.
14“Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
14Ua piha ko lakou waha i ka hailili a me ka mea awahia.
15“Their feet are swift to shed blood.
15Ua mama ko lakou mau wawae i ka hookahe koko.
16Destruction and misery are in their ways.
16Aia ma ko lakou mau alanui ka luku ana a me ka popilikia.
17The way of peace, they haven’t known.”
17Aole hoi lakou i ike i ke alanui e malu ai.
18“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
18Aole he weliweli i ke Akua imua o ko lakou mau maka.
19Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
19Ua ike no kakou, o na mea a ke kanawai i olelo mai ai, ua olelo no ia i ka poe malalo o ke kanawai; i paa na waha a pau, a i lilo hoi ko ke ao nei a pau i hewa imua o ke Akua.
20Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight; for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
20Nolaila ma ka hana ana ma ke kanawai, aohe kanaka e hoaponoia imua ona; no ka mea, ma ke kanawai ka ike ana i ka hewa.
21But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;
21Ano hoi, ua hoakakaia mai ko ke Akua hoapono ana aole ma ke kanawai; ua hoikeia mai ia e ke kanawai a me na kaula.
22even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,
22Oia hoi ka hoapono ana o ke Akua, ma ka manaoio aku ia Iesu Kristo, no na mea a pau, a maluna hoi o ka poe a pau e manaoio ana; aole mea okoa;
23for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
23No ka mea, ua lawehala na mea a pau, ua nele hoi i ka nani o ke Akua.
24being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
24Ua hoapono wale ia mai ma kona lokomaikai, no ka hoola ana ma o Kristo Iesu la;
25whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance;
25Oia ka ke Akua i haawi mai ai i mohaikalahewa ma ka hilinai i kona koko, i mea e hoakaka ai i kona hoapono ana, i ke kala ana i na hewa i hana e ia mamua, i ke ahonui ana o ke Akua;
26to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, that he might himself be just and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
26I mea e hoakaka ai i kona hoapono ana, i keia manawa; i pono oia, a i mea hoapono hoi i ka mea manaoio ia Iesu.
27Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
27Anhea la hoi ke kaena ana? Ua paleia'ku ia. Ma ke kanawai hea? O na hana anei? Aole; ma ke kanawai no hoi o ka manaoio ana.
28We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
28Nolaila, ke manao nei makou, ua hoaponoia mai ke kanaka ma ka manaoio, aole ma na hana o ke kanawai.
29Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn’t he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
29O ke Akua no anei ia no ka poe Iudaio wale no? Aole no na kanaka e kekahi? Oia, no na kanaka e kekahi.
30since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
30No ka mea, oia hookahi no ke Akua nana e hoapono i ka poe i okipoepoeia, ma ka manaoio, a i ka poe i okipoepoe ole ia hoi ma ka manaoio.
31Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.
31Ke hoohiolo nei anei makou i ke kanawai, ma ka manaoio? Aole loa: ke hookupaa nei no makou i ke kanawai.
