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, do not hold with acceptance of faces the faith of the glory of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
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 into your congregation a man who hath rings of gold or beautiful vestments, and there come in a poor man in sordid vestments,
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 you look upon him who clothed in beautiful vestments, and say to him, Sit is here well; and you say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or, Sit thou here before the stool of our feet;
4 Aole anei oukou i lilo i poe paewaewa aku, e manao hewa wale aku ana?
behold, are you not divided in yourselves, and become separaters for evil reasons?
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?
Listen, my beloved brethren: Hath not Aloha chosen the poor of the world, but rich in faith, to be heirs in that kingdom which Aloha hath promised to them who 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 you have despised the poor. Behold, are not the rich uprisen against you? and do they not drag you to the house of judgment?
7 Aole anei lakou i hoino i kela inoa maikai i kapaia aku ai oukou?
Do they not blaspheme against that Good Name which is pronounced upon you?
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;
And if the law of Aloha in this you accomplish, as it is written, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, you 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 you accept persons, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors against the law.
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 he who keepeth the whole law, and in one offendeth, of the whole LAW he is guilty.
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 who hath said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, is he who hath said, Thou shalt not steal; but if thou do not commit adultery, yet steal, thou hast become a transgressor against 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 and so act, as those who by the law of liberty are to be judged.
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 judgment is to be without mercy, upon him who hath not done mercy. Be you exalted by mercy over 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 is the use, my brethren, if a man say, I have faith, and works he hath not? How can his 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;
And, if a brother or sister be naked, and wanting the food of to-day,
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 any one of you shall say to them, Go in peace, be warm, and be satisfied, and give them not what is necessary for the body, what (would be) the use?
17 Pela no hoi ka manaoio, ina oia wale no aole ana hana, ua make ia.
Thus also the faith that 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.
For a man saith, Thou hast faith, and I have works; show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith from 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 Aloha is one: thou doest well; the demons 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?
Art thou willing to know, O weak 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?
Our father Abraham, was he not by works justified, when he offered Ishok his son on 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.
Thou seest that his faith was helpful unto his works; and by works his faith was perfected,
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 accomplished which said, that Abraham believed in Aloha, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness, and the friend of Aloha he was called.
24 Ke ike ae nei oukou, ua hoaponoia mai no ke kanaka ma na hana, aole ma ka manaoio wale no.
Thou seest that by works man is justified, and not by faith alone.
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?
So also Rachab the harlot, was she not by works justified when she received the spies, and by another way sent them forth?
26 Oiaio no, o ke kino uhane ole, ua make no ia, pela hoi ka manaoio hana ole, ua make no ia.
Thus, as the body without the spirit is dead, so also the faith which is without works is dead.
