James 1
1 Iames a seruant of God, and of the Lord Iesus Christ, to the twelue Tribes, which are scattered abroade, salutation.
NA lakobo, he kauwa na ke Akua, a me ka Haku o Iesu Kristo, i ka poe ohana he umi a me kumamalua i hoopuehuia, Aloha oukou.
2 My brethren, count it exceeding ioy, when ye fall into diuers tentations,
E na hoahanau o'u, e manao oukou, he mea olioli wale no, ke loohia oukou e kela mea keia mea e hoao mai ai;
3 Knowing that ye trying of your faith bringeth forth patience,
Ua ike no hoi oukou, o ka hoao ana mai i ko oukou manaoio, oia ka mea e mahuahua'i ke ahonui.
4 And let patience haue her perfect worke, that ye may be perfect and entier, lacking nothing.
E hoomau oukou ma ka mea ku pono i ke ahonui, i lako oukou, a i hemolele hoi, aole wahi hemahema iki.
5 If any of you lacke wisedome, let him aske of God, which giueth to all men liberally, and reprocheth no man, and it shalbe giuen him.
Ina i nele kekahi o oukou i ke akamai, e noi aku oia i ke Akua i ka mea i haawi lokomaikai mai no na mea a pau me ka hoino ole mai, a e haawiia mai no ia nona.
6 But let him aske in faith, and wauer not: for hee that wauereth, is like a waue of the sea, tost of the winde, and caried away.
Aka, e noi aku oia me ka manaoio, aole me ke kanalua; no ka mea, o ka mea e kanalua ana, ua like no ia me ka ale o ke kai i puhiia e ka makani a kupikipikio.
7 Neither let that man thinke that hee shall receiue any thing of the Lord.
Mai manao ia kanaka, e loaa mai ia ia kekahi mea na ka Haku mai.
8 A double minded man is vnstable in all his waies.
O ke kanaka i lolelua ka naau, ua lauwili oia i kona mau aoao a pau.
9 Let the brother of lowe degree reioyce in that he is exalted:
O ka hoahanau haahaa, e hauoli ia i kona hookiekieia.
10 Againe hee that is rich, in that hee is made lowe: for as the flower of the grasse, shall he vanish away.
A o ka mea waiwai hoi, i kona hoohaahaaia; no ka mea, e like me ka pua o ka nahelehele e mae wale ana ia.
11 For as when the sunne riseth with heate, then the grasse withereth, and his flower falleth away, and the goodly shape of it perisheth: euen so shall the rich man wither away in all his waies.
No ka mea, i ke kau ana mai o ka la me ka wela nui, aole emo a hoomaloo iho la no ia i ka nahelehele, a haule iho la kona pua, a pau ae la ka nani o kona ano: pela no e mae ai ka mea waiwai i kona aoao iho.
12 Blessed is ye man, that endureth tentation: for when he is tried, hee shall receiue the crowne of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that loue him.
Pomaikai wale ke kanaka, ke ku paa ia i ka hoowalewaleia mai; no ka mea, a pau kona hoaoia mai, e loaa auanei ia ia ka lei o ke ola i oleloia mai ai e ka Haku no ka poe e aloha aku ana ia ia.
13 Let no man say when hee is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God can not bee tempted with euill, neither tempteth he any man.
A o ka mea i hoowalewaleia mai, mai olelo ae ia, ua hoowalewaleia mai au e ke Akua; no ka mea, aole i hoowalewaleia ke Akua e ka hewa, aole loa hoi oia i hoowalewale mai i kekahi.
14 But euery man is tempted, when hee is drawen away by his owne concupiscence, and is entised.
Aka, ua hoowalewaleia kela mea keia mea ma kona kuko iho no, i ke alakaiia'ku a puni ia.
15 Then when lust hath conceiued, it bringeth foorth sinne, and sinne when it is finished, bringeth foorth death.
Aia hapai ke kuko, alaila, hanau mai ka hewa; a oo ka hewa, alaila, hoopukaia mai ka make.
16 Erre not, my deare brethren.
Mai kuhihewa, e o'u poe hoahanau aloha:
17 Euery good giuing, and euery perfect gift is from aboue, and commeth downe from the Father of lights, with whome is no variablenes, neither shadow of turning.
O na haawina maikai a pau a me na makana hemolele a pau, noluna mai ia i iho mai ai no ka Makua mai o ka malamalama, aole ona ano hou, aole loa ia e luli iki.
18 Of his owne will begate hee vs with the woorde of trueth, that we shoulde be as the first fruites of his creatures.
No kona makemake iho i hoohanau mai ai oia ia kakou ma ka olelo oiaio, i lilo ae kakou i mau hua mua o ka poe ana i hana'i.
19 Wherefore my deare brethren, let euery man be swift to heare, slowe to speake, and slowe to wrath.
No ia mea, e o'u poe hoahanau aloha, e hiki wawe oukou ma ka lohe, e akahele hoi ma ka olelo ana aku, a e hoolohi hoi ma ka inaina aku:
20 For the wrath of man doeth not accomplish the righteousnesse of God.
No ka mea, o ka inaina o ke kanaka, aole ia e hana ana i ka pono o ke Akua.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthinesse, and superfluitie of maliciousnesse, and receiue with meekenes the word that is graffed in you, which is able to saue your soules.
No ia mea la, e pale aku oukou i ka haumia a pau, a me ka hu wale ana o ka ino, a e apo mai oukou me ke akahai i ka olelo i pakuiia, oia ka mea e hiki ai ke hoola i ko oukou poe uhane.
22 And be ye doers of the word, and not hearers onely, deceiuing your owne selues.
E lilo hoi oukou i poe malama i ka olelo, aole i poe lohe wale no, e hoopunipuni ana ia oukou iho:
23 For if any heare the woorde, and doe it not, he is like vnto a man, that beholdeth his naturall face in a glasse.
No ka mea, ina i lohe wale kekahi i ka olelo, aole oia i malama aku, ua like no ia me ke kanaka e nana ana i kona helehelena iho ma ke aniani;
24 For when he hath considered himselfe, hee goeth his way, and forgetteth immediately what maner of one he was.
Nana no oia ia ia iho, a i ka hoi ana'ku, poina koke iho no ia i kona ano iho.
25 But who so looketh in the perfect Lawe of libertie, and continueth therein, hee not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the woorke, shalbe blessed in his deede.
O ka mea e nana ae i ke kanawai hemolele o ke ola, a e ku paa malaila, aole e hoopoina wale i kana mea i lohe ai, aka, ua malama no ia i ka oihana; oia ka mea e pomaikai aua i kana hana ana.
26 If any man amog you seeme religious, and refraineth not his tongue, but deceiueth his owne heart, this mans religion is vaine.
Ina i manaoia kekahi he haipule ia, aole hoi oia e kaulawaha i kona alelo, aka, e hoopunipuni i kona naau iho, ua lapuwale kona haipule ana.
27 Pure religion and vndefiled before God, euen the Father, is this, to visite the fatherlesse, and widdowes in their aduersitie, and to keepe himselfe vnspotted of the world.
O ka haipule io a me ka haumia ole imua i ke alo o ke Akua o ka Makua, eia no ia; e ike i ka poe makua ole, a me ka poe wahinekanemake i ko lakou wa e pihkia ai, a e malama hoi ia ia iho i haumia ole ia i ko ke ao nei.
