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 I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Meshikha; I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you.
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.
But I implore you that when I am present I may not have to be bold with the confidence with which I intend on showing against some, who consider us to be walking 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 walk 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; )
for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty in God for the tearing down of 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:
throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Meshikha;
6 Ua makaukau hoi makou e hoopai aku i ka hookuli a pau, aia ku pono mai ko oukou hoolohe.
and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience will be made full.
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.
Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Meshikha's, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Meshikha's, so also we are Meshikha's.
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 though I should boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down) I will not be disappointed,
9 I manao ole ia mai au e hooweliweli aku ana ia oukou ma na palapala.
that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify 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, "His letters," they say, "are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised."
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.
Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are 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.
For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
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.
But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach 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.
For we do not stretch ourselves too much, as though we did not reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Meshikha,
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,
not boasting excessively in the work done by others, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,
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 as to preach the Good News even to the regions beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.
17 A o ka mea e kaena ana, he pono no ia e kaena i ka ka Haku.
But "he who boasts, let him 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 he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
