Iakobo 1
1 NA lakobo, he kauwa na ke Akua, a me ka Haku o Iesu Kristo, i ka poe ohana he umi a me kumamalua i hoopuehuia, Aloha oukou.
JAKUB, a servant of Aloha and of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, unto the twelve tribes who are dispersed among the nations: Peace.
2 E na hoahanau o'u, e manao oukou, he mea olioli wale no, ke loohia oukou e kela mea keia mea e hoao mai ai;
All joy shall be to you, my brethren, when you shall have entered into temptations many and various.
3 Ua ike no hoi oukou, o ka hoao ana mai i ko oukou manaoio, oia ka mea e mahuahua'i ke ahonui.
For you know that the proving of faith maketh you to possess patience;
4 E hoomau oukou ma ka mea ku pono i ke ahonui, i lako oukou, a i hemolele hoi, aole wahi hemahema iki.
but to patience let there be a perfect work, that you may be complete and perfected, and in nothing be deficient.
5 Ina i nele kekahi o oukou i ke akamai, e noi aku oia i ke Akua i ka mea i haawi lokomaikai mai no na mea a pau me ka hoino ole mai, a e haawiia mai no ia nona.
If any of you be deficient in wisdom, let him ask of Aloha, who giveth to all expansively, and upbraideth not, and it is given to him.
6 Aka, e noi aku oia me ka manaoio, aole me ke kanalua; no ka mea, o ka mea e kanalua ana, ua like no ia me ka ale o ke kai i puhiia e ka makani a kupikipikio.
But let him ask in faith, not wavering. For he who wavereth is like the waves of the sea which the wind disturbeth.
7 Mai manao ia kanaka, e loaa mai ia ia kekahi mea na ka Haku mai.
And let not that man expect to receive any thing from the Lord,
8 O ke kanaka i lolelua ka naau, ua lauwili oia i kona mau aoao a pau.
who is divided in his mind, and disturbed in all his ways.
9 O ka hoahanau haahaa, e hauoli ia i kona hookiekieia.
But let the humble brother glory in his exaltation,
10 A o ka mea waiwai hoi, i kona hoohaahaaia; no ka mea, e like me ka pua o ka nahelehele e mae wale ana ia.
and the rich in his humility; for as the flower of an herb, so he passeth.
11 No ka mea, i ke kau ana mai o ka la me ka wela nui, aole emo a hoomaloo iho la no ia i ka nahelehele, a haule iho la kona pua, a pau ae la ka nani o kona ano: pela no e mae ai ka mea waiwai i kona aoao iho.
For the sun ariseth in his heat, and drieth the herb, and the flower of it falleth, and the beauty of its appearance perisheth; so also the rich withereth in his reverses.
12 Pomaikai wale ke kanaka, ke ku paa ia i ka hoowalewaleia mai; no ka mea, a pau kona hoaoia mai, e loaa auanei ia ia ka lei o ke ola i oleloia mai ai e ka Haku no ka poe e aloha aku ana ia ia.
Blessed the man who endureth temptations: for when he hath been proved he shall receive the crown of life, which Aloha hath promised unto them who love him.
13 A o ka mea i hoowalewaleia mai, mai olelo ae ia, ua hoowalewaleia mai au e ke Akua; no ka mea, aole i hoowalewaleia ke Akua e ka hewa, aole loa hoi oia i hoowalewale mai i kekahi.
Let no man say, when he is tempted, From Aloha I am tempted; for Aloha is not tempted with evils, and he no man tempteth.
14 Aka, ua hoowalewaleia kela mea keia mea ma kona kuko iho no, i ke alakaiia'ku a puni ia.
But each man from his concupiscence tempteth himself, and desireth, and is drawn away.
15 Aia hapai ke kuko, alaila, hanau mai ka hewa; a oo ka hewa, alaila, hoopukaia mai ka make.
And this desire conceiveth and beareth sin; and sin, when it is perfected, beareth death.
16 Mai kuhihewa, e o'u poe hoahanau aloha:
Do not err, my beloved brethren;
17 O na haawina maikai a pau a me na makana hemolele a pau, noluna mai ia i iho mai ai no ka Makua mai o ka malamalama, aole ona ano hou, aole loa ia e luli iki.
every good gift and perfect from above descendeth, from the Father of lights, with whom is no alteration, nor the shadow of vicissitude.
18 No kona makemake iho i hoohanau mai ai oia ia kakou ma ka olelo oiaio, i lilo ae kakou i mau hua mua o ka poe ana i hana'i.
He willed, and begat us by the word of truth, that we might be the first-ones of his creatures.
19 No ia mea, e o'u poe hoahanau aloha, e hiki wawe oukou ma ka lohe, e akahele hoi ma ka olelo ana aku, a e hoolohi hoi ma ka inaina aku:
And you, my beloved brethren, let every one of you be swift to hear, and slow to speak, and slow to be angry;
20 No ka mea, o ka inaina o ke kanaka, aole ia e hana ana i ka pono o ke Akua.
for the wrath of man the righteousness of Aloha worketh not.
21 No ia mea la, e pale aku oukou i ka haumia a pau, a me ka hu wale ana o ka ino, a e apo mai oukou me ke akahai i ka olelo i pakuiia, oia ka mea e hiki ai ke hoola i ko oukou poe uhane.
Wherefore, remove from you all impurity and the abounding of wickedness, and with meekness receive the word which is engrafted in our nature, which is able to save your souls.
22 E lilo hoi oukou i poe malama i ka olelo, aole i poe lohe wale no, e hoopunipuni ana ia oukou iho:
BUT be doers of the word, and not hearers only, neither deceive yourselves.
23 No ka mea, ina i lohe wale kekahi i ka olelo, aole oia i malama aku, ua like no ia me ke kanaka e nana ana i kona helehelena iho ma ke aniani;
For if a man be a hearer of the word and not a doer of it, this (man) is like one who vieweth his face in a mirror;
24 Nana no oia ia ia iho, a i ka hoi ana'ku, poina koke iho no ia i kona ano iho.
for he seeth himself and passeth, and hath forgotten what (manner of person) he was.
25 O ka mea e nana ae i ke kanawai hemolele o ke ola, a e ku paa malaila, aole e hoopoina wale i kana mea i lohe ai, aka, ua malama no ia i ka oihana; oia ka mea e pomaikai aua i kana hana ana.
But every one who looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he is not a hearer of the hearing of forgetfulness, but a doer of works; and this shall be blessed in his work.
26 Ina i manaoia kekahi he haipule ia, aole hoi oia e kaulawaha i kona alelo, aka, e hoopunipuni i kona naau iho, ua lapuwale kona haipule ana.
And if a man thinketh that he serveth Aloha, and holdeth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, of this man his service is vain.
27 O ka haipule io a me ka haumia ole imua i ke alo o ke Akua o ka Makua, eia no ia; e ike i ka poe makua ole, a me ka poe wahinekanemake i ko lakou wa e pihkia ai, a e malama hoi ia ia iho i haumia ole ia i ko ke ao nei.
For the service which is pure and true before Aloha the Father, is this, to visit the orphans and widows in their afflictions, and that a man keep himself from the world without blemish.
