1 Corinthians 4
1 Let a man so account of us as servants of Christ, and stewards of [the] mysteries 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 Here, further, it is sought in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
Eia hoi, ua kauohaia mai na puuku, i pololei lakou.
3 But for me it is the very smallest matter that I be examined of you or of man's day. Nor do I even examine 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 conscious of nothing in myself; but I am not justified by this: but he that examines me is the Lord.
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 So that do not judge anything before [the] time, until the Lord shall come, who shall also both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and shall make manifest the counsels of hearts; and then shall each 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 Now these things, brethren, I have transferred, in their application, to myself and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye may learn in us the [lesson of] not [letting your thoughts go] above what is written, that ye may not be puffed up one for [such a] one against another.
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 makes thee to differ? and what hast thou which thou hast not received? but if also thou hast received, why boastest thou as not receiving?
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 Already ye are filled; already ye have been enriched; ye have reigned without us; and I would that ye reigned, that we also might reign 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 I think that God has set us the apostles for the last, as appointed to death. For we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and 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] fools for Christ's sake, but ye prudent in Christ: we weak, but ye strong: ye glorious, but we in dishonour.
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 To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and are in nakedness, and buffeted, and wander without a home,
A hiki i keia hora, ua pololi makou, ua makewai, ua olohelohe, ua hana ino ia mai, ua kuewa wale no.
12 and labour, working with our own hands. Railed at, we bless; persecuted, we suffer [it];
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 insulted, we entreat: we are become as [the] offscouring of the world, [the] refuse of all, until 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 Not [as] chiding do I write these things to you, but as my beloved children I admonish [you].
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 if ye should have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the glad tidings.
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 I entreat you therefore, be my imitators.
Nolaila ea, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oukou, e lilo oukou i poe hoolike me au.
17 For this reason I have sent to you Timotheus, who is my beloved and faithful child in [the] Lord, who shall put you in mind of my ways [as] they [are] in Christ, according as I teach everywhere in every assembly.
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 But some have been puffed up, as if I were 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 quickly to you, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of those that are puffed up, but 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 will ye? that I come to you with a rod; or in love, and [in] a spirit of meekness?
Heaha ko oukou makemake? E hele paha wau io oukou la me ka laau hahau, me ke aloha paha, a me ka manao akahai?
