Korineto II 7
1 NO ia hoi, e ka poe i alohaia, no ka loaa ana mai ia kakou o neia mau olelo hoopomaikai, e hoomaemae kakou ia kakou iho i na mea paumaele a pau o ke kino a me ka uhane, a hoopaa ana hoi i ka maikai ma ka makau i ke Akua.
Dear friends, since we have these promises, we should wash ourselves clean from all that makes both body and spirit dirty, aiming for complete holiness out of reverence for God.
2 E ike mai oukou ia makou; aole makou i hana ino aku i kekahi, aole hoi makou i hookolohe aku i kekahi, aole no hoi makou i alunu aku i ka kekahi.
Please accept us as your friends! We haven't done anyone wrong, we haven't corrupted anyone, and we haven't taken advantage of anyone.
3 Aole au e olelo aku ia mea no ka hoohewa aku; no ka mea, ua i aku la au mamna, eia oukou iloko o ko makou naau, e make pa a e ola pu hoi.
I'm not saying this to condemn you—as I already told you, you mean so much to us that we live and die together with you!
4 He nui ka wiwo ole o kuu olelo ana aku ia oukou, he nui hoi kuu kaena ana no oukou: na piha au i ka oluolu, na nui loa kuu olioli iloko o ko makou popilikia a pau.
I speak up very strongly for you because I am so proud of you. You are such an encouragement to me. I am so happy for you despite all our troubles.
5 No ka mea, ia makou i hele mai ai i Makedonia, aole i loaa i ko makou kino ka maha iki, ua pilikia makou ma na aoao a pau; mawaho he hakaka, maloko he makau.
When we arrived in Macedonia we didn't have a minute's peace. We were attacked from every direction, with external conflicts and inner fears.
6 Aka, o ke Akua nana e hooluolu mai i ka poe haahaa, oia ka i hooluolu mai ia makou i ka hele ana mai o Tito;
Even so, God who encourages the downhearted, encouraged us with Titus' arrival.
7 Aole wale no i kona hele ana mai; aka, i ka oluolu ana i hooluoluia'i e oukou, i ka hai ana mai ia makou i ko oukou iini ana, i ko oukou uwe ana, a me ko oukou manao ikaika ia'u; nolaila, na nui kuu olioli.
Not just by his arrival, but also by the encouragement you gave him. He told us how you were longing to see me, how sorry you were, and how concerned you were about me, which made me even happier.
8 Nolaila, aole au e mihi nei i kuu hana eha ana ia oukou i ka palapala; ua mihi no nae au mamua; no ka mea, ke ike nei au, he pokole wale no ko oukou eha i na palapala la.
Even though I made you sorry by the letter I wrote, I don't regret it—though I did regret it because the letter did hurt you, but just for a while.
9 Ano, ke olioli nei au, aole i ko oukou hana eha ia, aka, i hana eha ia oukou e mihi ai; no ka mea, ua hana eha ia oukou ma ka ke Akua, i loaa ole ia oukou ka hewa e makou.
I'm happy now, not for hurting you, but because this pain led you to change your minds. You were made sorry in a way God would want, and so weren't harmed by us in any way.
10 No ka mea, o ka eha ana mai i ke Akua, nolaila mai ka mihi ola e mihi ole ia'i: aka, o ka eha ana o ko ke ao nei, oia ka mea e make ai.
The kind of sorrow God wants us to have makes us change our minds and brings salvation. This kind of sorrow leaves no sense of regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
11 Aia hoi, o na mea la a oukou i hana eha ia'i ma ka ke Akua, he nui ka ikaika i hanaia e ia iloko o oukou, oia, he hoakaka, oia, he huhu, oia, he makau, oia, he iini nui, oia, he manao ikaika, oia, he hoopai! ma na mea a pau, ua hoike mai oukou ia oukou iho, he hala ole i keia mea.
See what happened to you when you had this very same experience of sorrow that God wants. Remember how enthusiastic you became, how keen you were to defend yourselves, how angry you were at what had happened, how seriously you took it, how you longed to do right, how concerned you were, how you wanted justice to be done. In all of this you showed that you were sincere in wanting to make things right.
12 No ia hoi, aole au i palapala aku ia oukou no ka mea nana ka hana hewa ana'ku, aole hoi no ka mea i hana hewa ia'ku, aka, i akaka ia oukou ko makou malama ana ku ia oukou imua o ke Akua.
So when I wrote to you, I wasn't writing about who did the wrong or who was wronged, but to show you how devoted you are to us in God's sight.
13 No ia mea, ua hooluoluia mai makou i ko oukou oluolu ana: a ua oi aku ko makou olioli no ka olioli ana o Tito, no ka mea, ua hoomahaia kona naau e oukou a pau.
We are so encouraged by this. Added to our own encouragement, we were so pleased to see how happy Titus was, because you set his mind at rest.
14 No ia mea, ina au i kaena aku ia ia i kekahi mea no oukou, aole o'u hilahila; aka, me makou i olelo aku ai i na mea a pau ia oukou ma ka oiaio, pela hoi ko makou kaena ana imua o Tito, ua ikeia he oiaio.
I boasted to him about you, and you didn't let me down. Just as all I've told you is true, my boasting about you to Titus has proved to be true too!
15 A ua mahuahua aku konaaloha ia oukou i kona hoomanao ana i ka hoolohe o oukou a pau, i ko oukou hookipa ana ia ia me ka makau a me ka haalulu.
Titus cares for you even more as he remembers how you did what he told you, how you welcomed him with great respect.
16 He hauoli ko'u, no ka mea, ke manao pono nei au ia oukou ma na mea a pau.
I am so happy that I can be completely confident of you.
