Galatia 4
1 KE olelo aku nei hoi au, o ka hooilina i kona wa opiopio, aole he ano e kona i ko ke kauwa, aka, nona ka waiwai a pau;
But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, though he is lord of all;
2 Aia no ia malalo o ua kumu a me na kahu, a hiki i ka manawa i hoikeia mai ai e ka makua.
but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.
3 Pela no kakou i ko kakou wa kamalii, ua hooluhiia e na oihana mua o ke ao nei.
So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.
4 Aka, i ka hiki ana mai o ka manawa maopopo, hoouna mai la ke Akua i kana Keiki, a ka wahine i hanau ai, i hanau malalo o ko kanawai.
But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,
5 E hoopakele ae i ka poe malalo o ke kanawai, i hookamaia mai ai kakou he poe keiki.
that he might redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive the adoption as sons.
6 No ka mea, no ko oukou keiki ana, ua hoouna mai la ke Akua i ka Uhane o kana Keiki iloko o ko oukou mau naau, e kahea ana, E Aba, ka Makua.
And because you are sons, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba, Father."
7 No ia mea, aole he kauwa luhi oe ma ia hope aku, aka, he keiki no; ina he keiki, he hooilina no hoi na ke Akua ma o Kristo la.
So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God.
8 Aka, i ka manawa i ike ole ai oukou i ke Akua, hookauwa aku la oukou na na akua oiaio ole.
However at that time, not knowing God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.
9 Ano hoi, ua ike oukou i ke Akua, he oiaio ua ikeia mai e ke Akua, pehea la hoi oukou i huli hou aku ai i na oihana mua palupalu ilihune, i na mea a oukou i makemake hou ai e hookauwa aku na lakou?
But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again?
10 Ke malama nei oukou i ua la, a me na mahina, i na manawa a me na makahiki.
You observe days, months, seasons, and years.
11 Ua hopohopo wau ia oukou, o make hewa paha kuu hooluhi ana no oukou.
I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.
12 E na hoahanau, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oukou, i like oukou me au, no ka mea, ua like hoi au mo oukou: aole no oukou i hana ino iki mai ia'u.
I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong,
13 Ua ike no oukou me ka palupalu o ke kino i hai aku ai au i ka euanelio ia oukou i kinohou.
but you know that in physical weakness I preached the Good News to you the first time;
14 Aole no oukou i hoowahawaha mai i ka ino o kuu kino, aole hoi oukou i hoopailua mai; aka, na hookipa mai no oukou ia'u me he anela la no ke Akua, me Kristo Iesu hoi.
and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
15 Heaha la hoi ko oukou pomaikai ana? No ka mea, ke hoike maka aku nei au no oukou, ina he mea hiki ia, ina ua poalo ae oukou i ko oukou mau maka a haawi mai ia'u.
Where was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.
16 Ua lilo anei au i enemi no oukou, i kuu hai ana'ku i ka oiaio ia oukou?
So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
17 Ua hu mai ko lakou aloha ia oukou, aole nae ma ka pono: ke ake nei lakou e hookaawalo ia oukou, i hu mai ko oukou aloha ia lakou.
They zealously seek you, but for no good purpose; they desire to alienate you, that you may be zealous for them.
18 Aka, he mea pono no ke hu ae a mau mai ke aloha i ka mea maikai, aole i ka wa wale no e noho ai au me oukou.
But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.
19 E kuu mau keiki liilii, ka poe a'u e haakohi nei e hoohanau hou aku, a loaa mai o Kristo iloko o oukou,
My children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you—
20 Ke ake nei au e ike ia oukou i neia manawa, a e hoololi ae i kuu leo; no ka mea, ke haohao nui nei au ia oukou.
but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
21 E hai mai oukou ia'u, e ka poe i makemake e noho malalo o ke kanawai, aole anei oukou i lohe i ke kanawai?
Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, do you not listen to the law?
22 No ka mea, ua palapalaia, Elua a Aberahama keikikane; hookahi na ke kauwawahine, hookahi hoi na ka hakuwahine.
For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman, and one by the free woman.
23 O ka mea na ke kauwawahine, ua hanau ia ma ko ke kino; aka, o ka mea na ka hakuwahine, ma ka olelo hoopomaikai mai oia.
However, the son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.
24 O keia mau mea, he hoailona ia; o laua no na kauoha elua; o kekahi nae no ke kuahiwi no Sinai mai, e hanau ana i ua keiki kauwa, oia o Hagara.
These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to slavery, which is Hagar.
25 No ka mea, o ua Hagara la oia ke kuahiwi o Sinai i Arabia; ua like hoi ia me Ierusalema i neia manawa, a e hooluhi ana oia me kana poe keiki.
For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and represents Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in slavery with her children.
26 Aka, o ka Ierusalema maluna ka hakuwahine, oia ka makuwahine o kakou a pau.
But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
27 No ka mea, ua palapalaia, E olioli oe, e ka mea pa, i hanau ole i keiki; e poha aku me ka hea nui, e ka mea i hanau keiki ole; no ka mea, he nui na keiki a ka mea i haaleleia, he hapa ka ka mea kane.
For it is written, "Rejoice, you barren who do not bear. Break forth and shout, you that do not travail. For more are the children of the desolate than of her who has a husband."
28 E na hoahanau, he poe keiki no hoi kakou ma ka olelo hoopomaikai mai e like me Isaaka.
Now you, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
29 E like mamua, hoomaau aku la ka mea i hanau ma ke kino i ka mea i hanau ma ka Uhane, pela no hoi i neia manawa.
But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
30 Aka, heaha ka ka palapala hemolele i i mai ai? E hookuke aku oe i ua kauwawahine la a me kana keiki; no ka mea, aole e hooili pu ia'ku ka waiwai i ke keiki a ke kauwawahine me ke keiki a ka hakuwahine.
However what does the Scripture say? "Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman will not inherit with the son of the free woman."
31 Nolaila, e na hoahanau, aole he poe keiki kakou na ke kauwawahine, na ka hakuwahine no.
So then, brothers, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the free woman.
