1What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
1A LAILA, heaha la ka kakou mea e olelo ai, ua loaa ia Aberahama ko kakou makua ma ke kino?
2For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.
2A, ina ua hoaponoia mai o Aberahama ma na hana, he mea kana e kaena ai, aole nae imua o ke Akua.
3For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
3Heaha ka mea a ka palapala hemolele i olelo mai ai? Ua manaoio o Aberahama i ko Akua, a ua hooliloia hoi ia i pono nona.
4Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.
4A o ka mea e hana ana, aole i manaoia kona uku no ka lokomaikai ia, aka, no ka aie.
5But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.
5Aka, o ka mea hana ole, a i manaoio aku i ka mea nana e hoapono mai i ka mea pono ole, ua hooliloia mai kona manaoio i pono nona.
6Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
6Pela no hoi o Davida i olelo mai ai i ka pomaikai ana o ke kanaka, ia ia ko ke Akua hoolilo ana i ka pono me ka hana ole;
7“Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
7Pomaikai ka poe i kalaia ko lakou hala, a i uhiia ko lakou hewa:
8Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.”
8Pomaikai ke kanaka ke hoopili ole ka Haku i ka hewa ia ia.
9Is this blessing then pronounced only on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
9Maluna o ka poe i okipoepoeia wale no anei keia pomaikai? A maluna anei o ka poe okipoepoe ole ia kekahi? No ka mea, ke olelo nei makou, ua hooliloia ka manaoio i pono no Aberahama.
10How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
10Ihea la ia i hooliloia'i? I kona noho okipoepoeia anei? a i kona noho okipoepoe ole ia anei? Aole i kona noho okipoepoeia, aka, i kona noho okipoepoe ole ia.
11He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.
11A ua loaa ia ia ke okipoepoeia i hoailona no ka pono o kona manaoio ana i kona wa i okipoepoe ole ia'i; i lilo ai oia i makua no ka poe a pau e manaoio ana me ke okipoepoe ole ia, i hooliloia'i ka pono ia lakou;
12He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.
12A i makua no ka poe i okipoepoeia kekahi, aole ka poe i okipoepoe wale ia no, aka, o hele ana hoi ma na kapuwai o ko kakou makua o Aberahama i kona noho okipoepoe ole ia.
13For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring that he would be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
13No ka mea, o ka olelo mai ia Aberahama a i kana mamo, e lilo ia i hooilina no ke ao nei, aole ia ma ke kanawai, aka, ma ka pono o ka manaoio.
14For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
14No ka mea, ina i lilo ka poe ma ke kanawai i poe hooilina, ina ua lilo ka manaoio i mea ole, a ua ole no hoi ka mea i oleloia mai:
15For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
15No ka mea, o ke kanawai ke kumu o ka inaina; no ka mea, ma kahi kanawai ole, aole he ae ana maluna.
16For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may be sure to all the offspring, not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.
16Nolaila, ma ka manaoio ia, i haawi lokomaikai ia mai ia; i oiaio ai ka olelo hoopomaikai na ka poe mamo a pau, aole na na mea ma ke kanawai wale no, aka, na na mea hoi ma ka manaoio o Aberahama; oia ka makua o kakou a pau,
17As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.
17(E like me ka mea i palapalaia, Ua hoolilo au ia oe i makua no na lahuikanaka he nui no,) imua o ke alo o ke Akua ana i manaoio ai, ka mea i haawi i ke ola no ka poe make, a i olelo hoi i na mea i hana ole ia, me he mau mea la i hanaia.
18Against hope, Abraham in hope believed, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, “So will your offspring be.”
18Oia ka mea, imua o ka manaolana, i paulele ai me ka manaolana, e lilo ia i makua no na lahuikanaka he nui no; e like me ka mea i oleloia, Pela no kau poe mamo.
19Without being weakened in faith, he didn’t consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.
19A i kona nawaliwali ole ana ma ka manaoio, aole ia i manao i kona kino iho me he mea make la, i kona kokoke ana i ka haneri o kona mau makahiki, aole hoi i ka make o ka opu o Sara:
20Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
20Aole hoi ia i kanalua i ka olelo ana mai a ke Akua, ma ka hoomaloka; aka, ua ikaika ia ma ka manaoio, e hoonani ana i ke Akua;
21and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.
21A ua maopopo lea kona manao e hiki no ia ia ke hooko mai i ka mea ana i olelo mai ai.
22Therefore it also was “credited to him for righteousness.”
22No ia mea, ua hooliloia ia i pono nona.
23Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,
23Aole nona wale no i palapalaia'i, ua hooliloia ia nona:
24but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
24Aka, no kakou kekahi, ka poe e hooliloia mai ai ia, ka poe e manao ana i ka mea nana i hoala mai ia Iesu ko kakou Haku mai waena mai o ka poe make,
25who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
25Ka mea i haawiia no ko kakou hewa, a ua hoala hou ia mai i hoapanoia'i kakou.
