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, a prisoner in the Lord, urge you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been 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 humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love;
3 E hooikaika oukou e hoomau i ka lokahi ana o ka manao, ma ke apo o ke kuikabi.
being eager 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 you also were 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 over all, and through all, and in all.
7 Ua haawiia mai hoi ka lokomaikai ia kakou a pau, e like me ke ana a Kristo i haawi mai ai.
But to each one of us was the grace given 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.
Therefore he says, "When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people."
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 this, "He ascended," what is it but that he also descended 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 who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the 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;
He gave some to be 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, to the work of serving, to the building up 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:
until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature person, to the measure of the stature of the fullness 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 may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of people, by cleverness in deceitful schemes;
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 truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, 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 all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up 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 you no longer walk as the nations also walk, in the futility 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:
being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts;
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 having become callous gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 Aka, aole pela ka oukou i ao aku ai i ka Kristo:
But you did not learn Christ that way;
21 Ina paha i lohe oukou i kana, i aoia hoi oukou e ia, e like me ka oiaio iloko o Iesu:
if indeed you heard him, and were taught in him, even as 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 you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old self, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit;
23 E hoano hou ia hoi oukou ma ka mauao ana o ko oukou naau;
and that you 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 put on the new self, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
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.
Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.
26 A i huhu oukou, e ao o hewa auanei: mai hoomau i ko oukou inaina a napoo ka la.
"Be angry, but do not sin." Do not let the sun go down on your anger,
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 who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.
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 speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
30 Mai hooeha hoi i ka Uhane Hemolele o ke Akua, nana oukou i hoailona mai no ka la e hoolaia mai ai.
Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for 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, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, 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 kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
