Romans 4
1 What, then, shall we say Abraham our father, to have found, according to flesh?
A LAILA, heaha la ka kakou mea e olelo ai, ua loaa ia Aberahama ko kakou makua ma ke kino?
2 for if Abraham by works was declared righteous, he hath to boast — but not before God;
A, ina ua hoaponoia mai o Aberahama ma na hana, he mea kana e kaena ai, aole nae imua o ke Akua.
3 for what doth the writing say? 'And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him — to righteousness;'
Heaha ka mea a ka palapala hemolele i olelo mai ai? Ua manaoio o Aberahama i ko Akua, a ua hooliloia hoi ia i pono nona.
4 and to him who is working, the reward is not reckoned of grace, but of debt;
A o ka mea e hana ana, aole i manaoia kona uku no ka lokomaikai ia, aka, no ka aie.
5 and to him who is not working, and is believing upon Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned — to righteousness:
Aka, o ka mea hana ole, a i manaoio aku i ka mea nana e hoapono mai i ka mea pono ole, ua hooliloia mai kona manaoio i pono nona.
6 even as David also doth speak of the happiness of the man to whom God doth reckon righteousness apart from works:
Pela no hoi o Davida i olelo mai ai i ka pomaikai ana o ke kanaka, ia ia ko ke Akua hoolilo ana i ka pono me ka hana ole;
7 'Happy they whose lawless acts were forgiven, and whose sins were covered;
Pomaikai ka poe i kalaia ko lakou hala, a i uhiia ko lakou hewa:
8 happy the man to whom the Lord may not reckon sin.'
Pomaikai ke kanaka ke hoopili ole ka Haku i ka hewa ia ia.
9 [Is] this happiness, then, upon the circumcision, or also upon the uncircumcision — for we say that the faith was reckoned to Abraham — to righteousness?
Maluna o ka poe i okipoepoeia wale no anei keia pomaikai? A maluna anei o ka poe okipoepoe ole ia kekahi? No ka mea, ke olelo nei makou, ua hooliloia ka manaoio i pono no Aberahama.
10 how then was it reckoned? he being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision;
Ihea la ia i hooliloia'i? I kona noho okipoepoeia anei? a i kona noho okipoepoe ole ia anei? Aole i kona noho okipoepoeia, aka, i kona noho okipoepoe ole ia.
11 and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them,
A ua loaa ia ia ke okipoepoeia i hoailona no ka pono o kona manaoio ana i kona wa i okipoepoe ole ia'i; i lilo ai oia i makua no ka poe a pau e manaoio ana me ke okipoepoe ole ia, i hooliloia'i ka pono ia lakou;
12 and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of the faith, that [is] in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.
A i makua no ka poe i okipoepoeia kekahi, aole ka poe i okipoepoe wale ia no, aka, o hele ana hoi ma na kapuwai o ko kakou makua o Aberahama i kona noho okipoepoe ole ia.
13 For not through law [is] the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith;
No ka mea, o ka olelo mai ia Aberahama a i kana mamo, e lilo ia i hooilina no ke ao nei, aole ia ma ke kanawai, aka, ma ka pono o ka manaoio.
14 for if they who are of law [are] heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless;
No ka mea, ina i lilo ka poe ma ke kanawai i poe hooilina, ina ua lilo ka manaoio i mea ole, a ua ole no hoi ka mea i oleloia mai:
15 for the law doth work wrath; for where law is not, neither [is] transgression.
No ka mea, o ke kanawai ke kumu o ka inaina; no ka mea, ma kahi kanawai ole, aole he ae ana maluna.
16 Because of this [it is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which [is] of the law only, but also to that which [is] of the faith of Abraham,
Nolaila, ma ka manaoio ia, i haawi lokomaikai ia mai ia; i oiaio ai ka olelo hoopomaikai na ka poe mamo a pau, aole na na mea ma ke kanawai wale no, aka, na na mea hoi ma ka manaoio o Aberahama; oia ka makua o kakou a pau,
17 who is father of us all (according as it hath been written — 'A father of many nations I have set thee,') before Him whom he did believe — God, who is quickening the dead, and is calling the things that be not as being.
(E like me ka mea i palapalaia, Ua hoolilo au ia oe i makua no na lahuikanaka he nui no, ) imua o ke alo o ke Akua ana i manaoio ai, ka mea i haawi i ke ola no ka poe make, a i olelo hoi i na mea i hana ole ia, me he mau mea la i hanaia.
18 Who, against hope in hope did believe, for his becoming father of many nations according to that spoken: 'So shall thy seed be;'
Oia ka mea, imua o ka manaolana, i paulele ai me ka manaolana, e lilo ia i makua no na lahuikanaka he nui no; e like me ka mea i oleloia, Pela no kau poe mamo.
19 and not having been weak in the faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead, (being about a hundred years old, ) and the deadness of Sarah's womb,
A i kona nawaliwali ole ana ma ka manaoio, aole ia i manao i kona kino iho me he mea make la, i kona kokoke ana i ka haneri o kona mau makahiki, aole hoi i ka make o ka opu o Sara:
20 and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God,
Aole hoi ia i kanalua i ka olelo ana mai a ke Akua, ma ka hoomaloka; aka, ua ikaika ia ma ka manaoio, e hoonani ana i ke Akua;
21 and having been fully persuaded that what He hath promised He is able also to do:
A ua maopopo lea kona manao e hiki no ia ia ke hooko mai i ka mea ana i olelo mai ai.
22 wherefore also it was reckoned to him to righteousness.
No ia mea, ua hooliloia ia i pono nona.
23 And it was not written on his account alone, that it was reckoned to him,
Aole nona wale no i palapalaia'i, ua hooliloia ia nona:
24 but also on ours, to whom it is about to be reckoned — to us believing on Him who did raise up Jesus our Lord out of the dead,
Aka, no kakou kekahi, ka poe e hooliloia mai ai ia, ka poe e manao ana i ka mea nana i hoala mai ia Iesu ko kakou Haku mai waena mai o ka poe make,
25 who was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.
Ka mea i haawiia no ko kakou hewa, a ua hoala hou ia mai i hoapanoia'i kakou.
