< Galatia 1 >
1 O PAULO, he lunaolelo, aole na kanaka mai, aole hoi ma ko kanaka, aka, ma o Iesu Kristo la, a ma ke Akua ka Makua nana ia i hoala'e mai ka make mai;
Paul, an apostle (not from humans, nor through humans, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
2 O ka poe hoahanau no hoi me au, na na ekalesia o Galatia:
and all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 E alohaia oukou, e maluhia hoi i ke Akua ka Makua, a i ko kakou Haku ia Iesu Kristo,
Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Nana i haawi mai ia ia iho no ko kakou hala, i hoopakele ae oia ia kakou i keia ao ino nei, e like me ka makemake o ke Akua, ko kakou Makua; (aiōn )
who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father— (aiōn )
5 Oia ka hoonani mau loa ia'ku Amene. (aiōn )
to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
6 Ua kahaha iho no wau i ka emoole o ko oukou haalele ana mai i ka mea i kono aku ia oukou iloko o ka euanelio a Kristo, a lilo i ka euanelio okoa:
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you by the grace of Christ to a different "good news";
7 Aole hoi ho euanelio okoa ia; aka, ke hoohihia nei kekahi poe ia oukou, me ka mauao e hookahuli i ka euanelio a Kristo.
and there is not another "good news." Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.
8 Ina paha o makou, a he anela paha mai ka lani mai, e hai aku i ka euanelio i ku e i ka makou i hai aku ai ia oukou, e hoomainoinoia oia.
But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a "good news" other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
9 Me ka makou i olelo ai mamua, pela hoi au e olelo hou aku nei, a i hai aku kekahi ia oukou i ka olelo ku e i ka mea a oukou i loaa'i, e hoomainoinoia oia.
As we have said before, so I now say again: if anyone preaches to you a "good news" other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
10 Ke hoolaulea nei anei au i kanaka, a i ke Akua anei? Ke imi nei anei hoi au e hoolealea i kanaka? no ka mea, a i hoolealea aku au i kanaka, aole au he kauwa na Kristo.
For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? For if I were still pleasing people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
11 Ke hoike aku nei au ia oukou, e na hoahanau, o ka euanelio a'u i hai aku ai, aole ia ma ka ke kanaka.
But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not of human origin.
12 No ka mea, aole i loaa ia'u ia na ke kanaka mai, aole hoi au i aoia mai, aka, ma ka hoikeia mai no e Iesu Kristo.
For neither did I receive it from a human, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 Ua lohe oukou i kuu noho ana mamua ma ko ka Iudaio manao, he nui loa kuu hoomaau ana'ku i ka ekalesia o ke Akua, me ka luku aku.
For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I severely persecuted the church of God, and tried to destroy it.
14 Ua oi aku au ma ko ka Iudaio manao, mamua o ka nui o ka poe hoahanauna o'u, a he nui loa ko'u ikaika ma na mooolelo a o'u mau kupuna.
I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 I ka manawa i manao ai ke Akua nana au i hookaawale ae mai ka opu mai o ko'u makuwahine, a koho mai la ia'u ma kona lokomaikai,
But when God, who had set me apart from my mother's womb and called me through his grace, was pleased
16 E hoike mai i kana Keiki ia'u, i hai aku ai au ia ia i na kanaka e; wikiwiki iho la au, aole au i kuka me ka mea io a me ka mea koko;
to reveal his Son to me, that I might preach him among those who are not Jewish, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
17 Aole hoi au i pii aku i Ierusalema, i ka poe lunaolelo mamua o'u: aka, hele aku la au i Arabia, a hoi hou mai la i Damaseko.
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus.
18 A hala na makahiki ekolu, pii aku la au i Ierusalema e ike ia Petero a noho pu iho la au me ia i na la he umikumamalima.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas and get information from him, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 O Iakobo hoi ka hoahanau o ka Haku ka'u i ike, aole ka lunaolelo e ae.
But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother.
20 Aia hoi, imua o ke Akua, aole o'u hoopunipuni i na mea a'u e palapala aku nei ia oukou.
Now about the things which I write to you, look, before God, I'm not lying.
21 Ma ia hope mai, hele aku la au i na moku o Suria a me Kilikia;
Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 A ua ike maka ole ia au e na ekalesia o Kristo ma Iudea.
I was still unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ,
23 He lohe wale no ko lakou, O ka mea nana kakou i hoomaau mai mamua, i neia manawa ke hai aku la ia i ka manao oiaio ana i hoino ai mamua.
but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy."
24 A hoonani aku la lakou i ke Akua no'u.
And they glorified God because of me.
