Korineto II 6
1 A O makou na hoahana, ke noi aku nei hoi makou, mai lawe makehewa oukou i ka lokomaikai o ke Akua.
As workers together with God we also plead with you not to make your acceptance of God's grace worthless.
2 (No ka mea, ke i mai la oia, Ua hoolohe aku la au ia oe i ka manawa i maliuia'i, a ua kokua aku la au ia oe i ka la e ola'i; aia hoi, ano ka manawa e maliuia mai ai; aia hoi, ano ka la e ola'i.)
Just as God said, “At the right time I heard you, and on the day of salvation I rescued you.” Believe me: now is the right time! Now is the day of salvation!
3 Aole no makou e hoohihia aku i kekahi, o olelo ino ia mai ka oihana kahuna.
We don't put anything in anyone's way that would trip them up, making sure the work we do won't be criticized.
4 Aka, ma na mea a pau e hoike ana ia makou iho i poe kahuna no ke Akua, ma ka hoomanawanui, ma ka hoinoia mai, ma ka poino, ma ka pilikia,
Instead we try to demonstrate we are good servants of God in every way we can. With a great deal of patience we put up with all kinds of trouble, hardship, and distress.
5 Ma ka hahauia, ma ka paa ana i na halepaahao, ma ka haunaele, ma ka hooluhi ana, ma ke kiai ana, ma ka hoopololi ana,
We have been beaten up, thrown into prison, and attacked by mobs. We have been worked to the bone, suffering sleepless nights and hunger.
6 Ma ka maemae ma ka ike, ma ke ahonui, ma ka lokomaikai, ma ka Uhane Hemolele, ma ke aloha hookamani ole,
We demonstrate who we are by living blameless lives in the knowledge of God, with a great deal of patience, being kind and filled with the Holy Spirit, showing sincere love.
7 Ma ka olelo oiaio, ma ka mana o ke Akua, ma ke kahiko o ka pono ma ka akau a me ka hema,
We speak truthfully, living in the power of God. Our weapons consist of what is true and right; we attack with our right hand and we defend with our left.
8 Ma ka mahaloia mai a me ka mahalo ole ia mai, ma ka olelo ino ia mai, a me ka olelo maikai ia mai: e like me na mea hoopunipuni, aka, he oiaio nae;
We continue whether we are honored or dishonored, whether we are cursed or praised. People call us frauds but we tell the truth.
9 Like me na mea ike ole ia, a ua kaulana nae; like me ka poe e make ana, aia hoi, ke ola nei makou; like me na mea i hahauia, aole nae i make;
We are disregarded, even though we are well-known; given up for dead, but we're still alive; lashed, but not killed.
10 Like me na mea kaumaha, aka, e olioli mau ana; like me na mea ilihune, a ua waiwai nae na mea he nui ia makou; like me na mea nele loa, a ua loaa no nae na mea a pau.
Seen as miserable, we are always rejoicing; as poor, but we make many rich; as destitute, but we own everything!
11 E ko Koriueto, ua hamama ae nei ko makou waha ia oukou, ua hooakeaia ko makou naau.
I've been speaking bluntly, my Corinthian friends, loving you with a big heart!
12 Aole o oukou pilikia iloko o makou; aka, ua pilikia oukou iloko o ko oukou naau iho.
We haven't kept our love from you, but you have kept your love from us.
13 I hooukuia mai au ma ka mea like, (ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou me he mau keiki la, ) e hooakeaia hoi oukou.
Please respond in the same way, as if you were my children, and be big-hearted!
14 Mai hoopili ano e ia oukou me na hoomaloka: no ka mea, heaha ke kuikahi ana o ka pono me ka hewa? pehea la hoi e kohu like ai ka malamalama me ka pouli?
Don't join together with people who don't believe—for what connection does goodness have with wickedness? What do light and darkness have in common?
15 Heaha hoi ka manao hookahi ana o Kristo me Beliala? heaha hoi ke kuleana o ka mea manaoio me ka mea hoomaloka?
How could Christ and the Devil ever agree? How could a believer and an unbeliever share together?
16 Pehea hoi e ku like ai ka luakini o ke Akua me ko na kii? no ka mea, o oukou ka luakini o ke Akua ola; e like me ka ke Akua i olelo mai ai. E noho pu auanei au me lakou, a e hele pu hoi; owau auanei ko lakou Akua, a o lakou hoi auanei ko'u poe kanaka.
What compromise could the Temple of God make with idols? For we are a temple of the living God, just as God said: “I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.”
17 Nolaila, ke i mai la ka Haku, E puka mai oukou mai waena mai o lakou, i kaawale oukou; mai hoopa aku hoi i ka mea haumia, a e hookipa mai au ia oukou.
“So leave them, and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord. Don't touch anything that is unclean, and I will accept you.”
18 A e lilo no au i Makua no oukou, a e lilo mai hoi oukou i poe keikikane a i poe kaikamahine na'u, wahi a ka Haku mana.
“I will be like a Father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.”
