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 sent not from men nor by any man, but by Jesus Christ and by God the Father, who raised Jesus from among the dead--
2 O ka poe hoahanau no hoi me au, na na ekalesia o Galatia:
and all the brethren 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,
May grace and peace be granted to you from God the Father, and from our 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 g165)
who gave Himself to suffer for our sins in order to rescue us from the present wicked age in accordance with the will of our God and Father. (aiōn g165)
To Him be the glory to the Ages of the Ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
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 marvel that you are so readily leaving Him who called you by the grace of Christ, and are adhering 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.
For other "Good News" there is none; but there are some persons who are troubling you, and are seeking to distort the Good News concerning 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 if even we or an angel from Heaven should bring you a Good News different from that which we have already brought you, let him be accursed.
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.
What I have just said I repeat--if any one is preaching to you a Good News other than that which you originally received, let him be accursed.
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 is it man's favour or God's that I aspire to? Or am I seeking to please men? If I were still a man-pleaser, I should not be Christ's bondservant.
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.
For I must tell you, brethren, that the Good News which was proclaimed by me is not such as man approves of.
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, in fact, it was not from man that I received or learnt it, but by a revelation from 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 early career in Judaism--how I furiously persecuted the Church of God, and made havoc of 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.
and how in devotion to Judaism I outstripped many men of my own age among my people, being far more zealous than they on behalf of the traditions of my forefathers.
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 He who set me apart even from my birth, and called me by His grace,
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;
saw fit to reveal His Son within me in order that I might tell among the Gentiles the Good News concerning Him, at once I did not confer with any human being,
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 my seniors in the Apostleship, but I went away into Arabia, and afterwards came back 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, three years later, I went up to Jerusalem to inquire for Peter, and I spent a fortnight with him.
19 O Iakobo hoi ka hoahanau o ka Haku ka'u i ike, aole ka lunaolelo e ae.
I saw none of the other Apostles, 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.
In making these assertions I am speaking the truth, as in the sight of God.
21 Ma ia hope mai, hele aku la au i na moku o Suria a me Kilikia;
Afterwards I visited Syria and Cilicia.
22 A ua ike maka ole ia au e na ekalesia o Kristo ma Iudea.
But to the Christian Churches in Judaea I was personally unknown.
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.
They only heard it said, "He who was once our persecutor is now telling the Good News of the faith of which he formerly made havoc."
24 A hoonani aku la lakou i ke Akua no'u.
And they gave glory to God on my account.
