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 brothers, don’t hold the faith of our glorious Lord Yeshua the Messiah with partiality.
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 a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor man in filthy clothing also comes in,
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 pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing and say, “Sit here in a good place;” and you tell the poor man, “Stand there,” or “Sit by my footstool”
4 Aole anei oukou i lilo i poe paewaewa aku, e manao hewa wale aku ana?
haven’t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with 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?
Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those 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 dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you and personally drag you before the courts?
7 Aole anei lakou i hoino i kela inoa maikai i kapaia aku ai oukou?
Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you 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;
However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” 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 show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by 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 whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become 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 who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not commit murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have 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 and so do as men who are to be judged by the law of freedom.
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 without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs 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 good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no 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;
And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack 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 tells them, “Go in peace. Be warmed and filled;” yet you didn’t give them the things the body needs, what good is it?
17 Pela no hoi ka manaoio, ina oia wale no aole ana hana, ua make ia.
Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
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.
Yes, a man will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you 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.
You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe—and shudder.
20 E ke kanaka lapuwale, ke makemake nei anei oe e ike aku, ua make ka manaoio ke ole kana haua ana?
But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from 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?
Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac 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.
You see that faith worked with his works, and by works 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.
So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as 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.
You see then that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.
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?
In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she received the messengers and 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 apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
