Korineto II 10
1 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.
Now by the mildness and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am humble when face to face with you, but bold when away.
2 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.
I beg you that when I come I may not need to be as bold as I expect toward those who presume that we live according to the flesh.
3 No ka mea, ke noho nei makou me ke kino, aole nae makou e kaua aku mamuli o ke kino.
For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh.
4 (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; )
The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
5 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:
We tear down arguments and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
6 Ua makaukau hoi makou e hoopai aku i ka hookuli a pau, aia ku pono mai ko oukou hoolohe.
And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as your obedience is complete.
7 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.
You are looking at outward appearances. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself that we belong to Christ just as much as he does.
8 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:
For even if I boast somewhat excessively about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed.
9 I manao ole ia mai au e hooweliweli aku ana ia oukou ma na palapala.
I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you by my letters.
10 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.
For some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but his physical presence is unimpressive, and his speaking is of no account.”
11 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.
Such people should consider that what we are in our letters when absent, we will be in our actions when present.
12 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.
We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they show their ignorance.
13 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.
We, however, will not boast beyond our limits, but only within the field of influence that God has assigned to us—a field that reaches even to you.
14 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.
We are not overstepping our bounds, as if we had not come to you. Indeed, we were the first to reach you with the gospel of Christ.
15 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,
Neither do we boast beyond our limits in the labors of others. But we hope that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you will greatly increase as well,
16 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.
so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. Then we will not be boasting in the work already done in another man’s territory.
17 A o ka mea e kaena ana, he pono no ia e kaena i ka ka Haku.
Rather, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”
18 No ka mea, aole i aponoia mai ka mea hoomaikai ia ia iho, aka, o ka mea a ka Haku i hoomaikai mai.
For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
