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 BESEECH of you, therefore, I, the bound one for our Lord, that you walk as is worthy of the calling wherewith you 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.
in all lowliness of mind, and composedness, and long-suffering; and be patient towards one another in love.
3 E hooikaika oukou e hoomau i ka lokahi ana o ka manao, ma ke apo o ke kuikabi.
And be diligent 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:
that you may be in one body and in one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling.
5 Hookahi no Haku, hookahi manaoio, hookahi bapetizo ana;
For one is the Lord, and one the faith, and one the 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.
and one is Aloha, the Father of all, and over all, and by all, and in us 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 each of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of the Meshiha.
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 it is said, He ascended on high; He led captive captivity, 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?
But he who ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the low places 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 he who also ascended above all the heavens, to fulfil all.
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 who (are) apostles, and some who (are) prophets, and some who (are) evangelists, and some who (are) pastors, and some who (are) doctors;
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 edification of the (church of the) Meshiha,
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 be all one in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of Aloha, and one man perfect in the measure of the stature of his completeness;
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;
and that we be no children, agitated and altered by every wind of fraudulent doctrines of men, which in their craftiness they fabricate deceptively in order to seduce,
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 be confirmed in our love, that whatever is ours may increase in the Meshiha,
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.
who is the head, by whom the whole body is increased and compacted in all the limbs, according to the gift which is given in proportion to every member for the increase of the body itself, that in love its structure might be completed.
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:
BUT this I say and testify in the Lord, that from henceforth you may not walk as the rest of the Gentiles, who walk in the vanity of their minds,
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:
and are darkened in their understandings, and are alienated from the life of Aloha on account of their ignorance, and on account of the blindness 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 are cut off from their hope, and have delivered themselves up to lasciviousness and to the working of all uncleanness in their greediness.
20 Aka, aole pela ka oukou i ao aku ai i ka Kristo:
But you have not thus learned the Meshiha,
21 Ina paha i lohe oukou i kana, i aoia hoi oukou e ia, e like me ka oiaio iloko o Iesu:
if really you have heard him and learned as the truth is in Jeshu;
22 A no ka noho ana mamna, e haalele aku oukou i ke kanaka kahiko i haumia i na kuko hewa hoopunipuni:
but that you put from you your former habitudes, the old man who is corrupt in 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 minds,
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 wear the new man, who by Aloha is created in righteousness and in the sanctity 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.
WHEREFORE let lying cease from you, and speak the truth every man 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 angry and sin not, and let not the sun set upon your wrath,
27 Aole hoi e haawi aku oukou i kauwahi no ka diabolo.
and give no place to the accuser.
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.
And let him who hath stolen henceforth steal not, but labour with his hands and do good, that he may have to give to him who 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 hateful word come out of your mouth, but that which is comely and useful for edification, that it may communicate 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.
And grieve not the Holy Spirit of Aloha, by whom you have been 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 heat, and anger, and clamour, and scandal be taken 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 gentle one with another, and affectionate, and forgive one another, even as Aloha in the Meshiha hath forgiven us.
