< Korineto II 12 >

1 A OLE paha o'u pono ke kaena aku: aka, e hiki nuanei au ma na hihio a me na hoike ana mai a ka Haku.
It is not expedient for me no doubt to reioyce: for I will come to visions and reuelations of the Lord.
2 I na makahiki mamna, he umikumamaha, ua ike no au i kekahi kanaka no Kristo, iloko o ke kino paha, aole au i ike, iwaho e ke kino paha, aole au i ike, o ke Akua ke ike; ua laweia'ku la na mea la iluna i ke kolu'o ka lani.
I know a man in Christ aboue fourteene yeeres agone, (whether he were in the body, I can not tell, or out of the body, I can not tell: God knoweth) which was taken vp into the thirde heauen.
3 O ua kanaka la ka'u i ike, iloko o ke kino paha, iwaho e ke kine paha, aole au i ike, o ke Akua ke ike:
And I knowe such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I can not tell: God knoweth)
4 Ua laweia'ku oia iluna I paradaiso, a lohe ae ia ia i na huaolelo hiki ole ke pane ae, aole hoi e pono ke ekemuiaku e ke kanaka.
How that he was taken vp into Paradise, and heard words which cannot be spoken, which are not possible for man to vtter.
5 No ua mea la ka'u e kaena aku ai: aole no'u iho ka'u o kaena ai, aka, no ko'u mau mea palupalu.
Of such a man will I reioyce: of my selfe will I not reioyce, except it bee of mine infirmities.
6 Ina paha i ake au e kaena aku, aole o'u naaupo; no ka mea, e hai aku ana au i ka oiaio: aka, ke oki nei no au, o manao mai paha kekahi ia'u he kiekie maluna o kana i ike mai ai ia'u, a me kana i iohe mai ai ia'u.
For though I woulde reioyce, I should not be a foole, for I will say the trueth: but I refraine, lest any man should thinke of me aboue that hee seeth in me, or that he heareth of me.
7 O hookiekie paha wau no ka nui o na mea i hoikeia mai, ua haawiia mai ia'u he mea oioi ma kuu io, he elele na Satana e kui mai ai ia'u, o hookiekie auanei au.
And lest I should be exalted out of measure through the aboundance of reuelations, there was giuen vnto me a pricke in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet mee, because I should not be exalted out of measure.
8 No ia mea, ekolu au noi ana aku i ka Haku, i haalele mai ia mea ia'u.
For this thing I besought the Lord thrise, that it might depart from me.
9 I mai la kela ia'u, Ua lawa kuu lokomaikai nou: no ka mea, ma ka nawaliwali ka hoomaopopo ana o ko'u mana. No ia hoi, e kaena aku au me ka oluolu i kuu nawaliwali, i kau mai ai ka mana o Kristo maluna iho o'u.
And he said vnto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect through weakenesse. Very gladly therefore will I reioyce rather in mine infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
10 Nolaila, he oluolu ko'u i ka nawaliwali, a me ka hoinoia, a me ka poino, a me ka hoomaauia, a me ka pilikia no Kristo: no ka mea, i kuu nawaliwali ana, alaila ua ikaika au.
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproches, in necessities, in persecutions, in anguish for Christes sake: for when I am weake, then am I strong.
11 Ua lilo au i naaupo ma ke kaena ana; na oukou au i koi mai: no ka mea, he pono ko'u e hoomaikaiia mai e oukou; aole au i emi iki mahope o na lunaolelo pookela, he mea ole no nae au.
I was a foole to boast my selfe: yee haue compelled mee: for I ought to haue bene commended of you: for in nothing was I inferiour vnto the very chiefe Apostles, though I bee nothing.
12 He oiaio, na hanaia na oihana lunaolelo iwaena o oukou me ka hoomanawanui, me na hoailona, me na mea kupanaha a me na hana mana.
The signes of an Apostle were wrought among you with all patience, with signes, and wonders, and great workes.
13 Mahea ko oukou wnhi emi mahope o na ekalesia e ae, ke waiho ko oukou kaumaha ole ia'u? E kala mai oukou ia'u i keia mea pono ole.
For what is it, wherein yee were inferiours vnto other Churches, except that I haue not bene slouthfull to your hinderance? forgiue me this wrong.
14 Aia hoi, eia ke kolu o kuu makankau e hele aku io oukou la; aole au e hookaumaha ia oukou; no ka mea, o oukou ka'u e imi nei, aole ka oukou: aole e pono no na keiki ke hoahu aku na na makua, aka, o na makua na na keiki.
Behold, the thirde time I am ready to come vnto you, and yet will I not be slouthfull to your hinderance: for I seeke not yours, but you: for the children ought not to laye vp for the fathers, but the fathers for the children.
15 A ua oluolu au ke lilo aku a e hooliloia hoi no ko oukou uhane; ina paha me ka mahuahua o ko'u aloha aka ia oukou, pela ka emi ana o ko'u alohaia mai.
And I will most gladly bestow, and will be bestowed for your soules: though the more I loue you, the lesse I am loued.
16 A oia no pela, aole no oukou i kaumaha ia'u: aka, ua maalea au, nolaila ua puni oukou ia'u.
But bee it that I charged you not: yet for as much as I was craftie, I tooke you with guile.
17 Ua waiwai anei au ia oukou ma kekahi o ka poe a'u i hoouna aku ai io oukou la?
Did I pill you by any of them whom I sent vnto you?
18 Noi aku la au ia Tito, a hoouna pu aku la au me ia i kekahi hoahanau: ua waiwai anei o Tito ia oukou? aole anei makou i hele ma ka manao hookahi, a ma ke kapuwai hookahi?
I haue desired Titus, and with him I haue sent a brother: did Titus pill you of any thing? walked we not in the selfe same spirit? walked we not in the same steppes?
19 Eia hoi, ke manao nei anei oukou e hoakaka makou ia makou iho ia oukou? E na mea aloha, ke olelo nei makou imua o ke Akua ma o Kristo la, no ka hookupaa aku ia oukou keia mau mea a pau.
Againe, thinke yee that wee excuse our selues vnto you? we speake before God in Christ. But wee doe all thinges, dearely beloued, for your edifying.
20 No ka mea, ko makau nei au, a i kuu hiki aku, e ike aku paha auanei au ia oukou aohe like me kuu makemake, a e ikea mai hoi au e oukou aohe like me ko oukou makemake: malia paha o ikea auanei ka hakaka, ka ukiuki, ka inaina, ka hoopaapaa, ke aki, ka ohumu, ka hoohaha, a me ka haunaele.
For I feare least when I come, I shall not finde you such as I would: and that I shalbe found vnto you such as ye woulde not, and least there be strife, enuying, wrath, contentions, backebitings, whisperings, swellings and discord.
21 Anoai paha o hoohaahaa iho no hoi kuu Akua ia'u iwaena o oukou, i kuu hiki hou ana'ku; a kanikau iho au i na mea he nui i hana hewa e mamua, aole hoi i mihi i ka haumia, a me ka moekolohe, a me ke kuulala a lakou i hana'i.
I feare least when I come againe, my God abase me among you, and I shall bewaile many of them which haue sinned already, and haue not repented of the vncleannesse, and fornication, and wantonnesse which they haue committed.
