Romans 4
1 What, then, may we say that Abraham, our father after the flesh, has got?
A LAILA, heaha la ka kakou mea e olelo ai, ua loaa ia Aberahama ko kakou makua ma ke kino?
2 For if Abraham got righteousness by works, he has reason for pride; but not before God.
A, ina ua hoaponoia mai o Aberahama ma na hana, he mea kana e kaena ai, aole nae imua o ke Akua.
3 But what does it say in the holy Writings? And Abraham had faith in God, and it was put to his account as righteousness.
Heaha 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.
4 Now, the reward is credited to him who does works, not as of grace but as a debt.
A o ka mea e hana ana, aole i manaoia kona uku no ka lokomaikai ia, aka, no ka aie.
5 But to him who without working has faith in him who gives righteousness to the evil-doer, his faith is put to his account as righteousness.
Aka, 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.
6 As David says that there is a blessing on the man to whose account God puts righteousness without works, saying,
Pela 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 Happy are those who have forgiveness for their wrongdoing, and whose sins are covered.
Pomaikai ka poe i kalaia ko lakou hala, a i uhiia ko lakou hewa:
8 Happy is the man against whom no sin is recorded by the Lord.
Pomaikai ke kanaka ke hoopili ole ka Haku i ka hewa ia ia.
9 Is this blessing, then, for the circumcision only, or in the same way for those who have not circumcision? for we say that the faith of Abraham was put to his account as righteousness.
Maluna 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.
10 How, then, was it judged? when he had circumcision, or when he had it not? Not when he had it, but when he did not have it:
Ihea 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.
11 And he was given the sign of circumcision as a witness of the faith which he had before he underwent circumcision: so that he might be the father of all those who have faith, though they have not circumcision, and so that righteousness might be put to their account;
A 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;
12 And the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who keep to the way of that faith which our father Abraham had before he underwent circumcision.
A 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.
13 For God's word, that the earth would be his heritage, was given to Abraham, not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
No 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.
14 For if they who are of the law are the people who get the heritage, then faith is made of no use, and the word of God has no power;
No 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:
15 For the outcome of the law is wrath; but where there is no law it will not be broken.
No ka mea, o ke kanawai ke kumu o ka inaina; no ka mea, ma kahi kanawai ole, aole he ae ana maluna.
16 For this reason it is of faith, so that it may be through grace; and so that the word of God may be certain to all the seed; not only to that which is of the law, but to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,
Nolaila, 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,
17 (As it is said in the holy Writings, I have made you a father of a number of nations) before him in whom he had faith, that is, God, who gives life to the dead, and to whom the things which are not are as if they were.
(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.
18 Who without reason for hope, in faith went on hoping, so that he became the father of a number of nations, as it had been said, So will your seed be.
Oia 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.
19 And not being feeble in faith though his body seemed to him little better than dead (he being about a hundred years old) and Sarah was no longer able to have children:
A 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:
20 Still, he did not give up faith in the undertaking of God, but was made strong by faith, giving glory to God,
Aole 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;
21 And being certain that God was able to keep his word.
A ua maopopo lea kona manao e hiki no ia ia ke hooko mai i ka mea ana i olelo mai ai.
22 For which reason it was put to his account as righteousness.
No ia mea, ua hooliloia ia i pono nona.
23 Now, it was not because of him only that this was said,
Aole nona wale no i palapalaia'i, ua hooliloia ia nona:
24 But for us in addition, to whose account it will be put, if we have faith in him who made Jesus our Lord come back again from the dead,
Aka, 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,
25 Who was put to death for our evil-doing, and came to life again so that we might have righteousness.
Ka mea i haawiia no ko kakou hewa, a ua hoala hou ia mai i hoapanoia'i kakou.
