2 Corinthians 10
1 I, Paul, myself appeal to you, by the humility and gentleness of Christ. I am meek when I am in your presence, but I am bold toward you when I am away.
O WAU iho, o Paulo, ka mea haahaa i ko'u noho ana me oukou, aka, ma kahi e ua au ko'u manao ia oukou, ke noi aku nei au ia oukou ma ke akahai a me ka oluolu o Kristo.
2 I beg of you that, when I am present with you, I will not need to be bold with self-confidence. But I think I will need to be bold when I oppose those who assume that we are living according to the flesh.
Ke noi aku nei au, i aa ole ko'u naau me oukou, e like me ko'u manao e aa aku i kekahi poe e manao mai ana ia makou, ua holo makou mamuli o ke kino.
3 For even though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh.
No ka mea, ke noho nei makou me ke kino, aole nae makou e kaua aku mamuli o ke kino.
4 For the weapons we fight with are not fleshly. Instead, they have divine power to destroy strongholds. They bring to nothing misleading arguments.
(Aole no ke ao nei na mea kaua o ko makou kaua ana; aka, he ikaika nae i ke Akua o hoohiolo iho ai i na pakaua; )
5 We also destroy every high thing that rises up against the knowledge of God. We take every thought captive into obedience to Christ.
E hoohiolo ana hoi i na manao, a me na mea kiekie a pau e hookiekie ana ae, e ku e i ka naanao o ke Akua, a e kai pio ana i na inanao a pau i ka hoolohe aku ia Kristo:
6 And we are getting ready to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as your obedience is complete.
Ua makaukau hoi makou e hoopai aku i ka hookuli a pau, aia ku pono mai ko oukou hoolohe.
7 Look at what is clearly in front of you. If anyone is convinced that he is Christ's, let him remind himself that just as he is Christ's, so also are we.
Ke nana nei anei oukou i na mea ma ka helehelena? A i manao kekahi ia ia iho, ua lilo ia no Kristo, he pono no e manao hou ia ia iho, me ia i lilo ai no Kristo, pela no hoi makou i lilo ai no Kristo.
8 For even if I boast a little too much about our authority, which the Lord gave for us to build you up and not to destroy you, I will not be ashamed.
No ka mea, ina paha wau e kaena nui aku i ko makou mana a ke Akua i haawi mai ai ia makou no ke kukulu paa, aole no ka luku aku ia oukou, aole no au e hilahila:
9 I do not want it to appear that I am terrifying you by my letters.
I manao ole ia mai au e hooweliweli aku ana ia oukou ma na palapala.
10 For some people say, “His letters are serious and powerful, but physically he is weak. His words are not worth listening to.”
Ke olelo ae la lakou, Ua koikoi a ua ikaika kana mau palapala; aka, ua palupalu kona kino ma ke kokoke, a o kana olelo ana, oia ke hoowahawahaia.
11 Let such people be aware that what we are in the words of our letters when we are absent is what we will be in our actions when we are there.
O ka mea i olelo pela, eia kana e manao pono ai; e like me ka makou olelo ana ma ka palapala ma kahi e, pela io no auanei makou e hana aku ai ma ke kokoke.
12 We do not go so far as to group ourselves or compare ourselves with those who praise themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another and compare themselves with each other, they have no insight.
Aole makou e hiki ke hoopili aku, aole hoi e hoohalike aku ia makou iho me kekahi poe e hoomaikai ana ia lakou iho; no ka mea, i ke ana ana ia lakou iho ma ko lakou iho, a i ka hoohalike ana ia lakou iho me ko lakou iho, aole i naauao lakou.
13 We, however, will not boast beyond limits. Instead, we will do so only within the limits of what God has assigned to us, limits that reach as far as you.
Aole makou e kaena i na mea i ana ole ia, aka, e like me ke ana o ka mokuna a ke Akua i haawi mai ai, e hiki aku ana io oukou la.
14 For we did not overextend ourselves when we reached you. We were the first to reach as far as you with the gospel of Christ.
Aole makou i hele ma o aku o ko makou mokuna me he hiki ole aku io oukou la; aka, ua hiki aku hoi makou io oukou la me ka euanelio a Kristo.
15 We have not boasted beyond limits about the labors of others. Instead, we expect that as your faith continues to grow, our work among you will greatly expand.
Aole no makou e kaena aku i na mea i ana ole ia maloko o na hana a hai; aka, ke manao nei makou, aia mahuahua ae ko oukou manaoio, e hoonui loa ia'e makou e oukou maloko o ko makou mokuna,
16 We hope for this, so that we may preach the gospel even in regions beyond you. We will not boast about the work being done in another's area.
I hai aku ai makou i ka euanelio ma o aku o ko oukou wahi, aole no hoi e kaena aku i na mea i hoomakaukau e ia mai maloko o ko hai mokuna.
17 “But let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
A o ka mea e kaena ana, he pono no ia e kaena i ka ka Haku.
18 For it is not the one who recommends himself who is approved. Instead, it is the one whom the Lord recommends.
No ka mea, aole i aponoia mai ka mea hoomaikai ia ia iho, aka, o ka mea a ka Haku i hoomaikai mai.
