Luka 11
1 EIA kekahi, i kana pule ana ma kekahi wahi, a oki ae la, i aku la kekahi o kana mau haumana, E ka Haku, e ao mai oe ia makou e pule, me Ioane hoi i ao mai ai i kana poe haumana.
One day Jesus was somewhere praying. When he finished [praying], one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us [what to say when] we [(exc)] pray, as John [the Baptizer] taught his disciples!”
2 I mai la oia ia lakou, I ka wa e pule ai oukou, e olelo, E ko makou Makua iloko o ka lani, e hoanoia'ku kou inoa; e hiki mai kou aupuni; e malamaia hoi kou makemake, e like me ia ma ka lani, pela hoi ma ka honua nei.
He said to them, “When you pray, say [things like this]: ‘Father, we want you [(sg)] [MTY] to be honored/revered. [We want people to let you(sg)] [MTY, MET] rule over their lives.
3 E haawi mai oe ia makou, i kela la i keia la, i ka ai no ka la, na makou.
Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we need.
4 A e kala mai oe i na hewa o makou; no ka mea, ke kala nei makou i ka poe hana hewa mai ia makou; mai hookuu hoi ia makou i ka hoowalewaleia mat; aka, e hoopakele ae ia makou i ka ino.
Forgive us [for] the wrong things that we have done, because we forgive people for the wrong things that they do to us. Do not let us do wrong things when we are tempted {[someone or something] tempts us}.’”
5 Olelo mai la hoi oia ia lakou, Ina he makamaka ko kekahi o oukou a hele aku hoi ia io na la i ke aumoe, a e olelo aku, E ka makamaka, ho mai hoi na'u i ekolu popo berena:
Then he said to them, “Suppose that one of you goes to the house of a friend at midnight. Suppose that you [(sg) stand outside and] call out to him, ‘My friend, please lend me three buns!
6 No ka mea, o kekahi hoaaloha o'u i kona hele ana ua kipa mai ia ia'u, aole hoi a'u mea e waiho aku ai imua ona.
Another friend of mine who is traveling has just arrived [at my house], but I have no food [ready] to give to him!’
7 A i olelo mai ua mea la oloko, Mai hooluhi mai oe ia'u; ua paa ka puka; eia au me ka'u mau keiki ma kahi moe: aole e hiki ia'u ke ala'e iluna e haawi aku ia oe.
Suppose that he answers you from inside [his house], ‘Do not bother me! The door has been locked {[We(exc)] have locked the door} and all my family are in bed. [So] I cannot get up and give you [(sg)] anything!’
8 Ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, aole paha ia e ala, a e haawi nana no kona hoaloha ana, aka, no kona noi pinepine ana, e ala no ia, a e haawi ia ia i kana mau mea i makemake ai.
I will tell you that even if he does not [want to] get up and give you [any food], to avoid being ashamed [for not helping you] because you are his friend (OR, if without being ashamed you continue asking him to do that), he certainly will get up and give you whatever you need.
9 Ke i aku nei hoi au ia oukou, E noi, a e haawiia ia oukou; e imi, a e loaa ia oukou; e kikeke, a e weheia ia oukou.
So I tell you this: Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you [(pl)]. Confidently keep expecting [God to give you the things that you need], and [he] will give them to you [MET]. [It will be like] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying urgently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] knocking [on a door] so that [God] will open [the way] for you [to get what you pray for].
10 No ka mea, o ka mea i noi, ua haawiia no ia ia; a o ka mea i imi, ua loaa no ia ia; a o ka mea kikeke, e weheia no ia ia.
Remember that [God] will give things to everyone who continues to ask [him for them]. [He] will give things to whoever confidently keeps asking. [He] will open [the way] for people [to get the things that they keep urgently praying for].
11 A owai la ka makuakane iwaena o oukou nana e haawi aku i ka pohaku i kana keiki ke noi mai ia i berena? a i wahi ia, e haawi anei oia i ka nahesa nana, aole ka ia?
If one of you had a son who asked you [(sg)] for a fish [to eat], (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a [poisonous] snake instead!/would you give him a [poisonous] snake instead?) [RHQ]
12 A i noi mai ia i hua manu, e haawi aku anei oia i ka moohueloawa nana?
If he asked you for an egg, (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a scorpion!/would you give him a scorpion?) [RHQ]
13 No ia hoi, ina oukou ka poe hewa i makaukau i ka haawi aku i na makana maikai i ka oukou poe keiki; aole anei e oi nui aku ko ka Makua ma ka lani haawi ana mai i ka Uhane Hemolele i ka poe e noi aku ia ia.
Even though you people are evil, you know how to give good things to your children. So your Father in heaven will certainly [give good things] to those who ask him, [including] giving the Holy Spirit, [who is the best gift].”
14 A e mahiki ana ia i ka daimonio, he aa hoi ia. Eia hoi, a puka aku ka daimonio iwaho, olelo iho la ua aa la, a mahalo aku la ka ahakanaka.
[One day there was a man there who, because a demon controlled him] [MTY], was unable to speak. After [Jesus expelled] the demon, the man [began to] talk. [Most of] the people [there] were amazed.
15 Aka, olelo kekahi poe o lakou, Ma o Belezebuba la ke alii o na daimonio, i mahiki aku ai oia nei i na daimonio.
But some of them said, “It is Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons, who enables [this man] to expel demons!”
16 A o kekahi poe, e hoao ana ia ia, nonoi aku la i hoailona ma ka lani.
Other [people there] asked Jesus to perform a miracle [to prove (he was the Messiah/that he had come] from God) [MTY/EUP]. They wanted to trap him [into not being able to perform a miracle or into doing something ridiculous].
17 Aka, ua ike hoi oia i ko lakou manao, i mai la ia lakou, O ke aupuni i mokuahana ia ia iho, e pau ia, a o ka hale i ka hale iho, e hina ia.
But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, “If [the people in] one nation fight against each other, their nation will be destroyed {[they] will destroy their nation}. If [the people in] [MTY] one house are divided, they will cease to remain as one [family].
18 A ina i mokuahana o Satana ia ia iho, pehea la e ku paa ai kona aupuni? no ka mea, ke olelo nei oukou, ma o Belezebuba la i mahiki aku ai au i na daimonio.
[Similarly], if Satan [and his demons] were fighting against each other, (his rule over them would [certainly] not last!/how would his rule over them last?) [RHQ] [I say this] because you are saying that I am expelling demons by [the power of] the ruler of [his own demons]
19 Ina paha ma o Belezebuba la wau i mahiki aku ai i na daimonio, ma owai la hoi ka oukou poe keiki e mahiki aku ai? Nolaila hoi o lakou ko oukou poe nana e hooponopono.
Furthermore, if [it is true that] Satan enables me to expel demons, [is it also true that] your disciples [who] expel demons [do so] by [Satan’s] power [RHQ]? [No, that is not true]. So they will show that you [are not thinking logically].
20 Aka, ina ma ka manamanalima o ke Akua i mahiki aku ai au i na daimonio, oia hoi, ua hiki mai no ke aupuni o ke Akua io oukou nei.
But because it is by the power [MTY] of God [that I expel demons], I am showing you [that the power of] God to [MET] rule [people’s lives] has come to you.”
21 O ka mea ikaika a makaukau hoi i na mea oi, i na wa i kiai ai oia i kona hale, ua maluhia kana waiwai:
Then, [to show that by expelling evil spirits he was making it clear that he was much more powerful than Satan, Jesus said] [MET], “When a strong man who has many weapons guards his own house, no one can steal the things in his house.
22 Aka, i hiki mai io na la ka mea i oi aku kona ikaika mamua o kona, a lanakila ia maluna ona, alaila e kaili aku ia mai ona aku i na mea oi ana i hilinai ai, a e haawi i kana waiwai pio.
But when someone else who is stronger attacks that man and subdues him, he is able to take away the weapons in which the man trusted. Then he can take from that man’s house anything he [wants to].
23 O ka mea aole ma o'u nei, oia ke ku e mai ia'u; a o ka mea hoiliili pu ole me au, oia ke lu aku.
[No one can be neutral]. Those who do not help me [are opposing] me, and those who do not gather [people to become] my [disciples] are causing [those people] to go away [from me].”
24 A i puka aku ka uhane ino mai loko aku o ke kanaka, hele no ia mawaena o na wahi panoa, e imi ana i kahi e maha'i; a loaa ole, olelo iho la ia, E hoi au i kuu hale a'u i puka mai ai.
[Then Jesus said this]: “[Sometimes when] an evil spirit leaves someone, it wanders around in desolate areas seeking [someone in whom it can] rest. If it does not find anyone, it says [to itself], ‘I will return to the person in whom I used to live!’
25 A hiki mai ia, ike i ka hale ua kahiliia a ua hoolakolakoia hoi.
So it goes back and finds that [the Spirit of God is not in control of that person’s life. The person’s life is like] a house that has been {that someone has} swept clean and everything put {put everything} in order, [but a house that is empty].
26 Alaila kii aku la a lawe mai i kekahi poe uhane e ehiku, ua oi aku ko lakou hewa i kona iho, a komo hoi lakou a noho malaila; a ua oi aku ka hewa o hope o ua kanaka la i ko ka noho ana mamua.
Then [this evil spirit] goes and gets seven other spirits that are [even] more evil than it is. They [all] enter [that person] and [begin] living there. [So], [although] that person’s condition [was bad] before, it became much worse.”
27 Eia kekahi, ia ia e olelo ana i keia mau mea, o kekahi wahine o ka ahakanaka hookiekio ae la i kona leo, i aku la ia ia, Pomaikai ka opu nana oe i hanau mai, a me na u au i omo ai.
When Jesus said that, a woman who was listening called out [to him], “[God is] pleased with the woman who gave birth to you [(sg)] and let you nurse [at her breasts]!”
28 I mai la oia, Pomaikai io maoli ka poe i lohe i ka olelo a ke Akua, a malama hoi ia.
But he replied, “God [is] much more pleased with those who hear his message and obey it!”
29 A akoakoa paapu ae la na kanaka, olelo mai la ia, He hanauna ino keia; ke noi mai nei lakou i hoailona; aole e haawiia'ku ka hoailona no lakou, o ka hoailona o Iona ke kaula wale no.
When the group of people around [Jesus] got larger, he said, “[Many of] you people who have been observing my ministry are evil. You want [me to perform] a miracle [to prove that I have come from God], but the only miracle that [I] will perform for you is one [like happened to] Jonah.
30 No ka mea, me Iona i lilo ai i hoailona no ko Nineva, pela e lilo ai ke Keiki a ke kanaka no keia hanauna.
[After Jonah was inside a huge fish for three days, God performed] a miracle [to restore] Jonah. [Jonah then went and testified about that] to the people in Nineveh [city. God will perform] a similar miracle [for me], the one who came from heaven. [When you people have seen that miracle, you will believe my message].
31 O ke alii wahine no ke kukuluhema, e ku e mai ia i na kanaka o keia hanauna, i ka hookolokolo ana, a e hoahewa ia lakou; no ka mea, ua hele mai no ia mai na palena mai o ka honua, e hoolohe i ka olelo akamai a Solomona; eia hoi maanei ka mea i oi aku mamua o Solomona.
[Long ago the] queen from [Sheba], [far] south [of Israel, traveled a long distance to hear Solomon speak many] wise things. But now [I, a man] who [is much] greater [and wiser] than Solomon, am here, [but you have not listened to what I have told you]. Therefore, at the time when [God] judges [all people], the queen from [Sheba] will stand there, [along] with you people, and will condemn you.
32 O na kanaka o Nineva, e ku e mai lakou i keia hanauna i ka hookolokolo ana, a e hoahewa ia lakou: no ka mea, ua mihi no lakou i ke ao ana a Iona; eia hoi maanei ka mea i oi aku mamua o Iona.
The people who lived in Nineveh [city] turned from their sinful ways when Jonah preached to them. But now I, who am greater than Jonah, have come [and preached to you], [but you have not turned from your sinful ways]. Therefore, at the time when God judges [all people], the people who lived in Nineveh will stand there with you and condemn you.”
33 Aole mea i kuni i ke kukui a waiho iho ma kahi nalo, aole hoi malalo ae o ke poi, aka, ma kahi e kau ai ke kukui, i ike ai i ka malamalama ka poe i komo iloko.
[Then, to show them that they did not need more miracles, but that they needed only to understand better what he had already told them, he said to them] [MET], “People who light a lamp do not then hide it, or put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on a lampstand so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light. [Similarly, I have not concealed God’s truth. I have revealed it to you].
34 O ke kukui o ke kino, o ka maka ia: a i maikai hoi kou maka, ua malamalama kou kino a pau; a i ino kou maka, alaila ua pouli kou kino.
Your eyes [MET] are like a lamp for your body, because they enable you to see things. If your eyes are healthy, you are able to see everything well [MET]. [Similarly, if you(sg) accept my teaching, you will be able to know all that God wants you to know]. But if your eyes are bad, you are not able to see anything. It is like being in darkness [MET]. [And similarly, if you(pl) do not accept what I teach, you will not be able to know all the things that God wants you to know].
35 No ia hoi, e malama oe o lilo ka malamalama iloko ou i pouli.
Therefore, [you(pl) do not need to see more miracles. You need to think carefully about what I have already] told you, so that the things that you have heard from others do not cause you to remain in spiritual darkness [MET].
36 No ia mea, ina malamalama kou kino a pau, aole ona wahi pouli, alaila ua puni ia i ka hoomalamalamaia, e like me ka hoomalamalama ana o ke kukui ia oe i kona aa pono ana.
If you [live completely according to God’s truth, you will be able to know everything that God wants you to know. It will be like] being in a room with a lamp shining brightly, enabling you to see everything clearly.”
37 A i kana kamailio ana, kono ae la kekahi Parisaio ia ia e ai pu me ia. Komo aku la ia, noho iho la e ai.
While Jesus finished saying those things, a Pharisee invited him to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to [his house] and ate with him.
38 A ike ka Parisaio, kahaha iho la ka naau, no ka mea, aole ia i holoi mamua iho o ka ai ana.
The Pharisee was surprised when he saw that Jesus did not follow the Pharisees’ ritual by washing his hands before eating. [The Pharisees washed their hands in a certain way to be cleansed from anything that might have contaminated them. They were afraid that God might reject them if they] had [touched something unacceptable to God].
39 I mai la ka Haku ia ia, O oukou na Parisaio, ua hoomaemae ia waho o ke kiaha a me ke pa; aka, oloko o oukou, ua piha loa i ka mea kaili wale a me ka manao ino.
The Lord [Jesus] said to him, “You Pharisees are [concerned about things that are outside your bodies, not with what is in your] ([inner beings/hearts]) [MET]. You wash the outside of cups and dishes [before you eat because you think that doing that will make you acceptable to God], but within yourselves you are very greedy and wicked.
40 Naaupo, aole anei ka mea nana i hana ia waho, i hana ia loko?
You foolish people! [God] is concerned about things that are outside [our bodies], but (he is certainly also concerned about our inner [beings]!/isn’t he also concerned about our hearts?) [RHQ]
41 E haawi lokomaikai aku i ko oukou waiwai; alaila ua maemae na mea a pau ia oukou.
Give [money] to those who are poor. [Give according to what you know within] your (inner [/heart]) [that you should give]. Then you [will be surprised to realize that] you will be acceptable [to God without having to perform all those rituals about washing].
42 Auwe hoi oukou, e ka poe Parisaio! no ka mea, ua hookupu oukou i ka hapaumi o ka mineta, a o ka rue, a o na laauikiai a pau, a haalele no i ka pono a me ke aloha i ke Akua; o ko oukou mau mea keia e pono ai ke hana, aole hoi e haalele i kela.
But there will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees! You give to God a tenth of [all you produce, even] the various herbs that you grow, but you do not [remember that you must act] justly [toward others] and love God! It is good to [give a tenth of your income to God], but you ought to do these other things also!
43 Auwe hoi oukou, e ka poe Parisaio! no ka mea, ua makemake oukou i na noho kiekie maloko o na halehalawai, a me ke alohaia mai ma na wahi kanaka.
There will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees, because you like [to sit in] the best seats in our worship places [so that people will think highly of you], and you like people to greet you [respectfully] in the marketplaces.
44 Auwe hoi oukou, ka poe kakauolelo a me na Parisaio, ka poe hookamani! no ka mea, ua like oukou me na halekupapau i nalo, e hehiia ana e kanaka me ka ike ole.
There will be terrible punishment for you, because you are like ground where there is no marker [to indicate that there is a] grave [underneath]. People walk there, but they cannot see [what is rotten down below] [MET]! [Similarly, people who see you do not realize how polluted you are within yourselves].”
45 Olelo aku la kekahi o ka poe kakaolelo, i aku la ia ia, E ke Kumu, o makou nei no kekahi au e hoahewa nei, i kau olelo ana pela.
One of those who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, by saying this you [(sg)] are criticizing us [also]!”
46 Alaila, i mai la ia, Auwe hoi oukou, e ka poe kakaolelo! no ka mea, ua hooili oukou i na haawe iluna o na kanaka ane hiki ole ke hali, aole hoi oukou e hoopa iki ia mau haawe me kekahi o ko oukou mau manamanalima.
Jesus said, “It will be terrible also for you who teach the [Jewish] laws! You require people [to obey many rules that are difficult to obey] [MET]. [That is like making them] carry heavy burdens on their backs. But you yourselves do not obey the laws [that you require others to obey]. (OR, you do not do anything to help [others to obey the laws].)
47 Auwe hoi oukou! no ka mea, na hana oukou i na halekupapau no ka poe kaula i pepehiia'e e ko oukou poe kupuna.
There will be terrible punishment for you! You decorate the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed, [but you do not live according to what the prophets taught].
48 Oiaio, ke hoike nei oukou me ka mahalo pu i ka hana a ko oukou poe kupuna; no ka mea, na lakou no i pepehi i na kaula, a na oukou hoi i hana i ho lakou mau halekupapau.
So you are declaring that you approve of what your ancestors did. They killed the prophets, and you [are not honoring the prophets! You just] decorate their tombs!
49 Nolaila hoi i olelo ai ke akamai o ke Akua, E hoouna aku au i na kaula a me na lunaolelo io lakou la, a e pepehi lakou i kekahi, a e hana ino no hoi i kekahi o lakou.
So God, who is very wise [PRS], said, ‘I will send prophets and apostles [to you Jews]. [You] will kill some of them and cause some of them to suffer greatly.
50 Pela hoi e hoopaiia'i ke koko o na kaula a pau, i hookaheia, mai ka hookumu ana o ke ao nei, maluna iho o keia hanauna;
[As a result, I] will consider that many of you people [who have observed my Son’s ministry] will be guilty [MTY] [of murder, as if you had] killed all the prophets that other people have killed, from the time I created the world,
51 Mai ke koko mai o Abela, a hiki i ke koko o Zakaria, ka mea i pepehiia mawaena o ke kuahu a me ka luakini. Oiaio, ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, e hoopai ana no ia maluna iho o keia hanauna.
starting from [Adam’s son Cain] killing [his brother] Abel and continuing until they killed the prophet Zechariah [in the holy place] between the altar and the temple.’ Yes, what I am saying [is true] [MTY]. [God] will punish you people who have observed my ministry, you people whom [he] considers to be guilty [MTY] for [killing] all those prophets!
52 Auwe oukou, e ka poe kakaolelo! no ka mea, ua lawe aku oukou i ke ki o ka ike; aole hoi oukou i komo, a o ka poe e komo ana, na oukou ia i keakea.
There will be terrible punishment for you men who teach the [Jewish] laws, because you have [not let people] know [God’s truth] [MET]! [It is as though you are] taking away a key [to a house]. You are not going into [the house] yourselves, and you are not letting other people enter it, either.”
53 A i kana olelo ana ia mau mea, hoomaka ae la na kakaololo a me na Parisaio e koi ikaika aku, a e hoowalewale aku ia ia e olelo koke mai ma na mea he nui.
After Jesus finished saying those things, he left there. Then the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees began to act in a very hostile way toward him. They tried to make him say what he thought about many things.
54 Hookalakupua iho la lakou ia ia, e imi ana e hopu i kekahi mea noloko mai o kona waha, i niania ai lakou ia ia.
They kept waiting for him to say something [wrong] for which they could accuse him.
