Korineto II 3
1 E HOOMAKA hou anei makou e hoomaikai aku ia makou iho? a e hemahema anei makou e like me kekahi poe i na palapala hoike ia oukou, a i na palapala hoike mai o oukou mai?
Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? We do not need, as do some, letters of commendation to you or from you, do we?
2 O oukou no ka makou palapala i kakauia maloko o ko makou naau, i ikeia a i heluheluia e na kanaka a pau.
You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by everyone;
3 No ka mea, ua hoike akaka ia, o oukou no ka Kristo palapala a makou i hana'i, i kakauia aole me ka inika, aka, me ka Uhane o ke Akua ola; aole maloko o na papa pohaku aka, maloko o na papa io o ka naau.
being revealed that you are a letter of Meshikha, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Rukha of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.
4 Pela ko makou manao maopopo i ke Akua ma o Kristo la:
Such confidence we have through Meshikha toward God;
5 Aole hoi e hiki ia makou kekahi mea ma ko makou noonoo ana, o makou wale; aka, o ke Akua no ko makou mea e hiki ai.
not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;
6 Oia ka i hoomakaukau ia makou i kahuna no ke kauoha hou, aole ma ke kanawai, aka, ma ka Uhane: no ka mea, ke pepehi mai nei ke kanawai, a ke hoola mai nei ka Uhane.
who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the Rukha. For the letter kills, but the Rukha gives life.
7 Ina paha ua nani ka oihana no ka make i kakauia maloko o na pohaku me na huaolelo, i hiki ole i na mamo a Iseraela ke haka pono aku i ka maka o Mose, no ke alohi o kona maka, ka mea e nalowale ana;
But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the people of Israyel could not look steadfastly on the face of Mushe for the glory of his face; which was passing away:
8 Aole anei e oi nui aku ka nani o ka oihana o ka Uhane?
won't service of the Rukha be with much more glory?
9 No ka mea, ina paha he nani ko ka oihana hoohewa, he oiaio no, ua pakela aku ka nani o ka oihana hoapono.
For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
10 No keia mea, aohe nani o kela mea i hoouaniia pela, no keia pakela nani.
For truly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.
11 Ina he nani ko kela mea i hoonalowaleia; oiaio, he nani ko ka mea e mau loa aku ana.
For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
12 No ia hoi, no ka loaa ana mai ia makou keia manaolana, he olelo wiwo ole ka makou:
Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
13 Aole like me Mose i uhi iho ai i kona maka i ka pale, i hiki ole i na mamo a Iseraela ke nana pono i ka hope o ua mea la e nalowale ana:
and not as Mushe, who put a veil on his face, that the people of Israyel would not look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.
14 Aka, ua hoopouliia ko lakou naau; no ka mea, a hiki i neia manawa, i ka heluhelu ana i ke kauoha kahiko, ua koe no ka pale, aole i weheia; ua pau no hoi ia mea ia Kristo.
But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Meshikha it passes away.
15 A i neia manawa, i ka heluhelu ana i ka Mose, e kau ana no ua pale la maluna o ko lakou naau.
But to this day, when Mushe is read, a veil lies on their heart.
16 Aia huli mai ia i ka Haku, alaila e laweia aku no ua pale la.
But whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
17 A o ka Haku, oia ka Uhane: a ma kahi e noho ai ka Uhane o ka Haku, ua noa ia wahi.
Now the Lord is the Rukha and where the Rukha of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18 Aka, me ka maka i uhi ole ia, ke ike aku nei makou a pau i ka nani o ka Haku, e like me ke aka ma ke aniani, a ua hoano hou ia makou ma ka like ana o ua aka la, ma ka nani e mahuahua ana, e ko ka Haku nona ka Uhane.
But we all, with unveiled face looking as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Rukha.
