Iakobo 2
1 E NA hoahanau o'u, i ko oukou manaoio ana ia Iesu Kristo i ko kakou Haku nani, mai manao aku ma ko ke kanaka helehelena.
My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons.
2 No ka mea, ina e komo kekahi kanaka iloko o ko oukou halehalawai me ke komolima gula, a nani hoi kona kapa, a komo mai no hoi kekahi mea ilihune, inoino hoi kona kapa;
For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
3 A manao aku oukou ma ka mea i kahiko i ke kapa nani, a e olelo ae oukou, Maanei oe e noho ai ma kahi maikai; a e olelo aku hoi i ka mea ilihune, E ku oe malaila, a e noho paha oe maanei ma kuu paepae wawae;
And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
4 Aole anei oukou i lilo i poe paewaewa aku, e manao hewa wale aku ana?
Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
5 E hoolohe oukou, e na hoahanau aloha o'u, aole anei ke Akua i wae ae i ka poe ilihune o ke ao nei e lako i ka manaoio, a e lilo i poe hooilina o ke aupuni ana i olelo mai ai i ka poe e aloha aku ana ia ia?
Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
6 Aka, ua hoowahawaha oukou i ka poe ilihune. Aole anei i hooluhi mai ka poe waiwai ia oukou, a i alakai hoi ia oukou ma kahi e hookolokolo ai?
But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
7 Aole anei lakou i hoino i kela inoa maikai i kapaia aku ai oukou?
Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
8 Ina oukou e malama i ke kanawai hemolele me ia ma ka palapala, E aloha aku oe i kou hoalauna e like me oe iho, ina ua pono ka oukou hana ana;
If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
9 Aka, ina e manao oukou ma ko ka helehelena, ua hana hewa oukou, a ua hoohewaia oukou e ke kanawai he poe lawehala.
But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
10 O ka mea malama i ke kanawai a pau, a i haule nae ia ma ka mea hookahi, ua hewa no ia i ke kanawai a pau.
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all.
11 No ka mea, o ka mea nana i kauoha mai, Mai moe kolohe oe, kauoha mai la no hoi, Mai pepehi kanaka oe. Ano, ina aole oe i moe kolohe aku, aka, ua pepehi i ke kanaka, ua lilo oe i mea haihai i ke kanawai.
For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12 E olelo aku oukou, a e hana aku hoi, e like me ka poe e hookolokoloia ana ma ke kanawai o ke ola.
So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
13 O ka mea i hana me ke aloha ole aku, e hoahewaia auanei oia me ke aloha ole ia mai; aole makau ka lokomaikai i ka hoohewaia.
For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
14 E na hoahanau o'u, heaha ka waiwai, ke olelo kekahi, he manaoio kona, aole hoi ana hana? E hiki anei i ka manaoio ke hoola ia ia?
What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15 Ina he kapa ole ko ke kaikaina paha, ke kaikuwahine paha, a i nele hoi i ka ai i kela la i keia la;
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 A i i aku kekahi o oukou ia laua, O hele olua me ka pomaikai, a e hoopumahanaia, a e maona no hoi; aole nae oukou e haawi io aku ia laua i ka mea e pono ai ke kino; heaha la ka waiwai?
And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be [ye] warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what [doth it] profit?
17 Pela no hoi ka manaoio, ina oia wale no aole ana hana, ua make ia.
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18 A e i mai kekahi, O ka manaoio kou, a na'u hoi ka hana ana; e hoike mai oe ia'u i kou manaoio me kau hana ole, a ma ka'u hana ana e hoike aku ai au ia oe i kuu manaoio.
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19 Ke manaoio nei oe, aia hookahi Akua; ua pono oe: pela no ka poe daimonio i manaoio ai, me ka haalulu hoi.
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 E ke kanaka lapuwale, ke makemake nei anei oe e ike aku, ua make ka manaoio ke ole kana haua ana?
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Aole anei i hoaponoia mai o Aberahama ko kakou kupuna ma ka hana ana, i kona wa i mohai aku ai i kana keiki ia Isaaka maluna o ke kuahu?
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Ke ike nei oe, i hooikaika pu ka manaoio me kana hana ana, a ma ka hana ana i pouo ai ka manaoio.
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23 A ua hookoia hoi ka palapala, i i mai ai, Ua manaoio Aberahama i ke Akua, a ua hooiliia'e ia i pono nona; a ua kapaia iho la oia he hoaaloha no ke Akua.
And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Ke ike ae nei oukou, ua hoaponoia mai no ke kanaka ma na hana, aole ma ka manaoio wale no.
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
25 Aole anei i hoaponoia o Rahaba ka wahine hookamakama ma ka hana ana i ka wa ana i hookipa ai i na elele, a hoouna aku la ma ke ala e?
Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent [them] out another way?
26 Oiaio no, o ke kino uhane ole, ua make no ia, pela hoi ka manaoio hana ole, ua make no ia.
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
