1 Corinthians 4
1 Let us be judged as servants of Christ, and as those who are responsible for the secret things of God.
E PONO i kanaka ke manao mai ia makou, he poe lawehana no Kristo, he poe puuku hoi no na mea pohihihi o ke Akua.
2 And it is right for such servants to be safe persons.
Eia hoi, ua kauohaia mai na puuku, i pololei lakou.
3 But it is a small thing to me that I am judged by you or by man's judging; I am not even a judge of myself.
He mea liilii loa ia'u, ke ahewaia mai a ke aponoia mai au e oukou, a me kanaka. He oiaio, aole au i ahewa, aole hoi i apono ia'u iho.
4 For I am not conscious of any wrong in myself; but this does not make me clear, for it is the Lord who is my judge.
Aole au i ike pono i ko'u hewa, aole nae au i aponoia mai ilaila. Na ka Haku no wau e hookolokolo mai.
5 For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.
No ia mea, mai hoohewa e i kekahi mea, a hiki mai ka Haku, nana no e hoomaopopo mai na mea i hunaia o ka pouli, a e hoike mai hoi na manao o na naau; alaila e loaa mai i kela kanaka a i keia kanaka ka hoomaikaiia, mai ke Akua mai.
6 My brothers, it is because of you that I have taken Apollos and myself as examples of these things, so that in us you might see that it is not wise to go farther than what is in the holy Writings, so that no one of you may be lifted up against his brother.
E na hoahanau, no oukou no ke hoopili nei au ia mau mea io'u nei, a me Apolo; i aoia oukou ma o maua nei aole e hookiekie ka manao maluna o ka mea i palapalaia, i ole oukou e kaena aku i kekahi maluna o kekahi.
7 For who made you better than your brother? or what have you that has not been given to you? but if it has been given to you, what cause have you for pride, as if it had not been given to you?
Owai ka mea i hoopakela ia oe? Heaha hoi kau mea i haawi ole ia mai nau? A ina i haawi wale ia mai ia, no ke aha la oe e kaena ai ia, me he mea la i haawi ole ia mai?
8 For even now you are full, even now you have wealth, you have been made kings without us: truly, I would be glad if you were kings, so that we might be kings with you.
Ano la, ua maona oukou, ano la, ua waiwai oukou; ua nohoalii no hoi oukou a kaawale makou; ua makemake no nae au i nohoalii io oukou, i nohoalii pu ai makou me oukou.
9 For it seems to me that God has put us the Apostles last of all, as men whose fate is death: for we are put on view to the world, and to angels, and to men.
No ka mea, ke manao nei au, ua hoolilo mai ke Akua ia makou i na lunaolelo, i poe lalo loa, e like me na mea i ahewaia e make. No ka mea, he poe makou i hoikeia i ko ke ao nei, a i na anela, a i na kanaka.
10 We are made to seem foolish for Christ, but you are wise in Christ; we are feeble, but you are strong; you have glory, but we have shame.
He poe naaupo makou no Kristo, he poe naauao oukou iloko o Kristo; ua nawaliwali makou, ua ikaika oukou; ua mahaloia mai oukou, ua hoowahawahaia mai makou.
11 Even to this hour we are without food, drink, and clothing, we are given blows and have no certain resting-place;
A hiki i keia hora, ua pololi makou, ua makewai, ua olohelohe, ua hana ino ia mai, ua kuewa wale no.
12 And with our hands we do the hardest work: when they give us curses we give blessings, when we undergo punishment we take it quietly;
Ke hooikaika nei makou i ka hana, me ko makou lima; a ahiahiia mai, hoomaikai aku no makou: a hoomaauia mai, ua hoomanawanui no makou;
13 When evil things are said about us we give gentle answers: we are made as the unclean things of the world, as that for which no one has any use, even till now.
A i olelo hoino ia mai, nonoi aku no makou: ua hooliloia mai makou e like me ka opala o ke ao nei, a me ka pelapela o na mea a pau, a hiki i keia wa.
14 I am not saying these things to put you to shame, but so that, as my dear children, you may see what is right.
Aole au e palapala aku i keia mau mea e hoohilahila ia oukou, aka, ke ao aku nei au ia oukou, e like me a'u poe keiki aloha.
15 For even if you had ten thousand teachers in Christ, you have not more than one father: for in Christ Jesus I have given birth to you through the good news.
Ina paha he umi tausani kumu a oukou maloko o Kristo, aole hoi he nui na makua o oukou; no ka mea, ma ka euanelio, owau no ka mea nana oukou i hanau ai iloko o Kristo Iesu.
16 So my desire is that you take me as your example.
Nolaila ea, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oukou, e lilo oukou i poe hoolike me au.
17 For this cause I have sent Timothy to you, who is my dear and true child in the Lord; he will make clear to you my ways in Christ, even as I am teaching everywhere in every church.
No keia mea, ua hoouna aku au ia Timoteo io oukou la, oia hoi ka'u keiki aloha, ua paa loa hoi oia ma ka Haku, nana oukou e paipai aku i na aoao o'u ma o Kristo la, e like me ka'u no ana aku i na wahi a pau, i kela ekalesia i keia ekalesia.
18 Now some are full of pride, as if I was not coming to you.
Ke haanou mai nei kekahi poe me ka manao iho, aole au e hiki aku io oukou la.
19 But I will come to you in a short time, if it is pleasing to the Lord, and I will take note, not of the word of those who are full of pride, but of the power.
Aka, e hele koke aku no au io oukou la, ke ae mai ka Haku, a e ike auanei au, aole i ka olelo a ka poe i haanou, aka, i ka ikaika io.
20 For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.
No ka mea, aole ma ka olelo ke aupuni o ke Akua, ma ka mana no.
21 What is your desire? is my coming to be with punishment, or is it to be in love and a gentle spirit?
Heaha ko oukou makemake? E hele paha wau io oukou la me ka laau hahau, me ke aloha paha, a me ka manao akahai?
