Epeso 4
1 NO ia mea, owau ka paahao no ka Haku, ke nonoi aku nei ia oukou, e hele oukou ma ka mea e ku i ke koho ana a oukou i kohoia mai ai.
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2 Me ka haahaa nui o ka naau, a me ke akahai, a me ka hoomanawanui hoi, a e ahonui aku kekahi i kekahi me ke aloha.
With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3 E hooikaika oukou e hoomau i ka lokahi ana o ka manao, ma ke apo o ke kuikabi.
Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 Hookahi no kino, hookahi hoi Uhane, e like me ka oukou i kohoia mai ai i ka manaolana hookahi o ko oukou kohoia ana:
[There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 Hookahi no Haku, hookahi manaoio, hookahi bapetizo ana;
One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 Hookahi hoi Akua, ka Makua o na mea a pau, oia maluna o na mea a pau, ma na mea a pau a iloko hoi o kakou a pau.
One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and through all, and in you all.
7 Ua haawiia mai hoi ka lokomaikai ia kakou a pau, e like me ke ana a Kristo i haawi mai ai.
But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8 Nolaila, i olelo mai ai oia, I kona pii ana iluna, ua kai pio ia i ka poe i pio, a haawi mai la hoi i na haawina i kanaka.
Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9 (A o keia, Ua pii aku la ia iluna heaha anei ia mea, i ole kela i iho ae mamua i na wahi malalo ae o ka honua?
(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10 O ka mea i iho ae ilalo, oia no ka mea i pii aku maluna ae o ka lani kiekie loa, i hoopiha ai oia i na mea a pau.)
He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
11 Ua hoolilo iho la oia i kekahi poe i lunaolelo; a i kekahi poe i kaula; a i kekahi poe i kahuna hai olelo; a i kekahi poe i kahu ekalesia a me na kumu;
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 I mea e hooponopono ai i na haipule no ka oihana kahuna, a no ke kukulu paa ana i ke kino o Kristo:
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 A hiki aku kakou a pau i ka lokahi ana o ka manaoio, a me ka ike aku i ke Keiki a ke Akua, a lilo i kanaka makua, i poe naauao loa ma na mea o Kristo:
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 I kamalii ole ai kakou ma ia hope aku i ka alealeia a me ka lauwiliia e na makani a pau o ka olelo, ma ka apiki a kanaka, a me ka maalea a lakou e imi ai i ka hoopunipuni;
That we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, [and] cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 Aka, e olelo oiaio aku ana me ke aleha, i nui ae kakou i na mea a pau iloko ona, oia o Kristo o ke poo.
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, [even] Christ:
16 Ua kapili pono ia ke kino a pau e ia a paa i ke kokuaia mai e na ami a pau, ua hoonui ae la oia i ke kino e like me ke ano o ka ikaika o kela lala o keia lala, no ke kukulu paa ana ia ia iho ma ke aloha.
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
17 O keia hoi ka'u e olelo aku nei, a hoike aku hoi ma ka I Haku, mai haele hou oukou e like me na lahuikauaka e ma ka lapuwale o ko lakou naau:
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18 Ua poeleele ko lakou manao ana, ua mamao loa mai ke ola aku o ke Akua, uo ka naaupo iloko o lakou, a me ka paakiki o ko lakou naau:
Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
19 A no ko lakou makau ole, ua hoolilo ia lakou iho i ka makaleho, e hana aku ai i ka haumia a pau me ka makermake.
Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 Aka, aole pela ka oukou i ao aku ai i ka Kristo:
But ye have not so learned Christ;
21 Ina paha i lohe oukou i kana, i aoia hoi oukou e ia, e like me ka oiaio iloko o Iesu:
If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22 A no ka noho ana mamna, e haalele aku oukou i ke kanaka kahiko i haumia i na kuko hewa hoopunipuni:
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 E hoano hou ia hoi oukou ma ka mauao ana o ko oukou naau;
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 E hoaahu iho hoi oukou i ke kanaka hou, i hanaia mamuli o ke Akua ma ka pono a me ka hemolele io.
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
25 Nolaila, e haalele oukou i ka wahahee, e olelo oiaio aku hoi kela mea keia mea a pau i kona hoalauna; no ka mea he mau lala kakou o kekahi me kekahi.
Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
26 A i huhu oukou, e ao o hewa auanei: mai hoomau i ko oukou inaina a napoo ka la.
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27 Aole hoi e haawi aku oukou i kauwahi no ka diabolo.
Neither give place to the devil.
28 O ka mea i aihue, mai aihue hou aku ia: aka hoi, e hana ia, e hooikaika ana me na lima i ka mea maikai, i loaa'i ia ia ka mea e haawi aku na ka mea nele.
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with [his] hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
29 Mai hoopuka ae oukou i ka olelo ino mai loko mai o ko oukou waha; aka, o ka olelomaikai no ke ku paa ana, hooluolu aku ai ia i ka poe lohe.
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30 Mai hooeha hoi i ka Uhane Hemolele o ke Akua, nana oukou i hoailona mai no ka la e hoolaia mai ai.
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31 E hookaawaleia na mea awaawa a pau mai o oukou aku, a me ka inaina, ka huhu, ka uwa, ka olelo ino, a me ka manao ino a pau.
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32 E lokomaikai oukou i kekahi e kekahi, e aloha aku me ka naau, e kala ana hoi kekahi i kekahi, e like me ka ke Akua i kala mai ai i ko oukou ma o Kristo la.
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
