Romans 12
1 I entreat you, then, friends, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, for this is your rational worship.
NO ia hoi, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oukou, e na hoahanau, ma ke aloha o ke Akua, e haawi i ko oukou mau kino i mohai ola, hemolele, hooluolu i ke Akua; oia ka oukou hoomana naauao.
2 Do not conform to the fashion of this world; but be transformed by the complete change that has come over your minds, so that you may discern what God’s will is – all that is good, acceptable, and perfect. (aiōn g165)
Mai noho oukou a hoohalike me ko ke ao nei; aka, e hoopahaohao oukou ma ke ano hou ana o ko oukou naau, i hoomaopopo oukou i ko ke Akua makemake, ka pono, ka hooluolu, a me ka hemolele. (aiōn g165)
3 In fulfillment of the charge with which I have been entrusted, I tell every one of you not to think more highly of themselves than they ought to think, but to think until they learn to think soberly – in accordance with the measure of faith that God has allotted to each.
No ka mea, ma ka haawina i haawiia mai ia'u, ke olelo aku nei au i kela mea i keia mea iwaena o oukou, mai manao mahalo iho oia ia ia iho a pono ole ka manao; aka, e manao hoohaahaa, e like me ka haawina o ka manaoio a ko Akua i haawi mai ai i kela mea a i keia mea.
4 For, just as in the human body there is a union of many parts, and each part has its own function,
No ka mea, e like me na lala o kakou he nui ma ke kino hookahi, aole nae he oihana hookahi na lakou a pau;
5 so we, by our union in Christ, many though we are, form but one body, and individually we are related one to another as its parts.
Pela hoi kakou ho nui wale, hookahi hoi o kakou kino iloko o Kristo, a he mau lala kakou kekahi no kekahi.
6 Since our gifts differ in accordance with the particular charge entrusted to us, if our gift is to preach, let our preaching correspond to our faith;
I ko kakou lako ana i na haawina like pu ole, mamuli hoi o ka haawina i haawiia mai ia kakou; ina he wanana, ma ke ana ia o ka manaoio;
7 if it is to minister to others, let us devote ourselves to our ministry; the teacher to their teaching,
Ina he puuku, ma ka lawelawe puuku ana; a o ka mea e ao aku, ma ke ao ana;
8 the counselor to their counsel. Let the person who gives in charity do so with a generous heart; let the person who is in authority exercise due diligence; let the person who shows kindness do so in a cheerful spirit.
A o ka mea olelo hooikaika, ma ka olelo hooikaika ana: o ka mea haawi, me ka naau kupono; o ka luna, me ka molowa ole; o ka mea hana lokomaikai aku, me ka hoihoi.
9 Let your love be sincere. Hate the wrong; cling to the right.
O ke aloha, mai hookamani ia. E hoowahawaha i ka ino; e hoopili aku i ka maikai.
10 In the love of the community of the Lord’s followers, be affectionate to one another; in showing respect, set an example of deference to one another;
E launa aku hoi kekahi i kekahi, ma ke aloha hoahanau; e hoopakela aku kekahi i kekahi ma ka hoomaikai ana.
11 never flagging in zeal; fervent in spirit; serving the Master;
I ka hana mau ana, mai hoopalaleha; i ikaika hoi oukou ma ka naau; e malama ana i ka Haku.
12 rejoicing in your hope; steadfast under persecution; persevering in prayer;
E hauoli no ka manaolana; e hoomanawanui i ka popilikia; e hoomau ana ma ka pule.
13 relieving the wants of Christ’s people; devoted to hospitality.
E haawi aku no ka nele o na haipule. E hookipa no.
14 Bless your persecutors – bless and never curse.
E hoomaikai aku i ka poe e hoomaau mai ia oukou. E hoomaikai aku, mai hoino aku.
15 Rejoice with those who are rejoicing, and weep with those who are weeping.
E hauoli pu me ka poe e hauoli ana, a e uwe pu me ka poe e uwe ana.
16 Let the same spirit of sympathy animate you all, not a spirit of pride; enjoy the company of ordinary people. Do not think too highly of yourselves.
I hookahi ko oukou manao ko kekahi me ko kekahi. Mai manao aka i na mea kiekie, aka, e alakaiia e na mea haahaa. Mai manao iho ia oukou iho, na akamai.
17 Never return injury for injury. Aim at doing what everyone will recognize as honorable.
Mai hana ino aku i kekahi no ka hana ino mai. E imi i ka pono imua o na kanaka a pau.
18 If it is possible, as far as rests with you, live peaceably with everyone.
Ina he mea hiki, ma kahi e hiki ai oukou, e kuikahi oukou me na kanaka a pau.
19 Never avenge yourselves, dear friends, but make way for the wrath of God; for scripture declares – ‘“It is for me to avenge, I will requite,” says the Lord.’
Mai hoopai oukou no oukou iho, e ka poe i alohaia, aka, e hookaawale aku no ka inaina; no ka mea, ua palapalaia, No'u no ka hoopai ana, na'u no e uku aku, wahi a ka Haku.
20 Rather – ‘If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him to drink. By doing this you will heap coals of fire on his head.’
No ia hoi, ina pololi kou enemi, e hanai ia ia; ina e makewai ia, e hoohainu ia ia. No ka mea, i kau hana ana pela o hoahu oe i na lanahu ahi maluna iho o kona poo.
21 Never be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.
E ao o lanakila ka hewa maluna on, aka, e hoolanakila i ka pono maluna o ka hewa.
