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.
And as helpers, we beseech of you that the grace of Aloha which you have received be not made ineffectual in you.
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.)
For he hath said, In the time acceptable I have heard thee, And in the day of salvation I have helped thee. Behold, Now is the time acceptable; behold, Now is the day of salvation.
3 Aole no makou e hoohihia aku i kekahi, o olelo ino ia mai ka oihana kahuna.
Nor in any thing give to any man occasion of stumbling, that no blemish may be upon our ministry;
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,
but in every thing will we demonstrate ourselves that we are the ministers of Aloha; by much patience, by afflictions, by necessity, by imprisonments,
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,
by stripes, by chains, by tumults, by labour, by watching, by fasting,
6 Ma ka maemae ma ka ike, ma ke ahonui, ma ka lokomaikai, ma ka Uhane Hemolele, ma ke aloha hookamani ole,
by purity, by knowledge, by prolonging the mind, by benignity, by the Spirit of Holiness, by love without deceit,
7 Ma ka olelo oiaio, ma ka mana o ke Akua, ma ke kahiko o ka pono ma ka akau a me ka hema,
by the doctrine of truth, by the power of Aloha, by the arms of righteousness for the right hand and for the 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;
by glory and by shame, by praise and by abuse; as deceivers, and true;
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;
as unknown, and yet we are known; as dead, yet, lo, we live; as chastened, yet we die not;
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.
as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet many making rich; as having nothing, yet possessing every thing.
11 E ko Koriueto, ua hamama ae nei ko makou waha ia oukou, ua hooakeaia ko makou naau.
OUR mouth is opened to you, Kurinthoyee, and our heart expanded.
12 Aole o oukou pilikia iloko o makou; aka, ua pilikia oukou iloko o ko oukou naau iho.
You are not constrained in us, but you are constrained in your own bowels.
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.
But as unto (my) children, I say to you, Render to me my gains which are with you, and expand your love towards me.
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?
And be not sons of the yoke with them who believe not. For what participation hath righteousness with iniquity? Or what commixture hath the light with darkness?
15 Heaha hoi ka manao hookahi ana o Kristo me Beliala? heaha hoi ke kuleana o ka mea manaoio me ka mea hoomaloka?
Or what concord hath the Meshiha with Satana? Or what portion hath the believer with the unbeliever?
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.
Or what union hath the temple of Aloha with (that) of demons? For you are the temple of Aloha the living; as it is written, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; And I will be their God, And they shall be to me a 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.
Wherefore come out from among them, And be separate from them, (saith the Lord, ) And the impure touch not; And I will receive 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.
And I will be to you a Father, And you shall be to me for sons and daughters, Saith the Lord, who holdeth all.
