James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion: Greetings!
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 Count [it] all joy, my brothers, when you may fall into manifold temptations,
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 the proof of your faith works endurance,
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 the endurance have a perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
E hoomau oukou ma ka mea ku pono i ke ahonui, i lako oukou, a i hemolele hoi, aole wahi hemahema iki.
5 And if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all generously, and not reproaching, and it will be given to 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 ask in faith, doubting nothing, for he who is doubting has been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed;
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 for do not let that man suppose that he will receive anything from the LORD—
Mai manao ia kanaka, e loaa mai ia ia kekahi mea na ka Haku mai.
8 a soul-split man [is] unstable in all his ways.
O ke kanaka i lolelua ka naau, ua lauwili oia i kona mau aoao a pau.
9 And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,
O ka hoahanau haahaa, e hauoli ia i kona hookiekieia.
10 but the rich in his becoming low, because he will pass away as a flower of grass;
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 the sun rose with the burning heat, and withered the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the beauty of its appearance perished, so also the rich in his way will fade away!
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] the man who endures temptation, because, becoming approved, he will receive the garland of life, which the LORD promised to those loving 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 one who is being tempted say, “I am tempted from God,” for God is not tempted by evils, and Himself tempts no one,
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 each one is tempted, being led away and enticed by his own desires;
Aka, ua hoowalewaleia kela mea keia mea ma kona kuko iho no, i ke alakaiia'ku a puni ia.
15 afterward the desire having conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin having been perfected, brings forth death.
Aia hapai ke kuko, alaila, hanau mai ka hewa; a oo ka hewa, alaila, hoopukaia mai ka make.
16 Do not be led astray, my beloved brothers.
Mai kuhihewa, e o'u poe hoahanau aloha:
17 Every good giving, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation, or 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 having willed [it], He begot us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit 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 So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
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 a man does not work the righteousness of God;
No ka mea, o ka inaina o ke kanaka, aole ia e hana ana i ka pono o ke Akua.
21 for this reason, having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, receive the implanted word in meekness, that is able to save your souls;
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 become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,
E lilo hoi oukou i poe malama i ka olelo, aole i poe lohe wale no, e hoopunipuni ana ia oukou iho:
23 because, if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one has been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror,
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 he viewed himself, and has gone away, and immediately he forgot what kind of [man] 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 he who looked into [the] perfect law—that of liberty, and continued there, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of work—this one will be blessed in his doing.
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 anyone thinks to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, the religion of this one [is] vain;
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 religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation—to keep himself unspotted from 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.
