Luka 12
1 I A manawa, ka akoakoa lehulehu loa ana mai o ka ahakanaka, a hehi kekahi maluna o kekahi, olelo mua mai la ia i kana mau haumana, I nui ko oukou malama ia oukou iho i ka mea hu a ka poe Parisaio; o ka hookamani no ia.
Meanwhile the people had come streaming towards Him by tens of thousands, so that they were trampling one another under foot. And now He proceeded to say to His disciples first, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, that is to say, beware of hypocrisy.
2 No ka mea, aohe mea i uhiia e pau ole i ka weheia; aole hoi mea i hunaia e pau ole i ka ikeia.
There is nothing that is covered up which will not be uncovered, nor hidden which will not become known.
3 O ka mea a oukou i olelo ai ma ka pouli, e loheia auanei ia ma ka malamalama, a o ka mea a oukou i olelo ai i na pepeiao, maloko o na keena mehameha, e haiia auanei ia maluna iho o na hale.
Whatever therefore you have said in the dark, will be heard in the light; and what you have whispered within closed doors will be proclaimed from the house-tops.
4 Ke olelo aku hoi au ia oukou, e kuu mau hoaaloha, Mai makau oukou i ka poe pepehi i ke kino, a mahope aku, aole o lakou mea e hiki ke hana.
"But to you who are my friends I say, "'Be not afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do nothing further.
5 Aka, ke hoike aku nei au ia oukou i ka oukou mea e makau ai; e makau aku oukou i ka mea nona ka mana e hoolei aku iloko o ka luaahi, mahope iho o kana pepehi ana. Oia, o ka'u olelo no ia ia oukou, e makau oukou ia ia. (Geenna g1067)
I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who after killing has power to throw into Gehenna: yes, I say to you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Aole anei i kuaiia na manu liilii elima i na asario elua? Aole hoi kekahi o lakou i hoopoinaia e ke Akua.
Are not five sparrows sold for a penny? and yet not one of them is a thing forgotten in God's sight.
7 Ua pau no hoi i ka heluia na lauoho o ko oukou mau poo. Nolaila hoi, mai makau oukou; na oi loa aku ko oukou maikai mamua o ko na manu liilii.
But the very hairs on your heads are all counted. Away with fear: you are more precious than a multitude of sparrows.'
8 A ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, o ka mea e hooiaio ia'u imua i ke alo o kanaka, oia ka ke Keiki a ke kanaka e hooiaio ai imua i ke alo o ka poe anela o ko Akua.
"And I tell you that every man who shall have acknowledged me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.
9 Aka, o ka mea e hoole ia'u imua i kealo a na kanaka, oia ke hooleia imua i ke alo o ka poe anela o ke Akua.
But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God.
10 O ka mea e olelo ku e i ke Keiki a ke kanaka, e hiki no ia i ke kalaia; aka, o ka mea e olelo hoino wale i ka Uhane Hemolele, aole loa ia e kalaia.
"Moreover every one who shall speak against the Son of Man, may obtain forgiveness; but he who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never obtain forgiveness.
11 A i ka wa e alakaiia'i oukou i na halehalawai, a i na kiaaina, a me na'lii, mai manao nui oukou i ka oukou mea o kamailio ai, a i ka oukou mea e olelo ai;
And when they are bringing you before synagogues and magistrates and governors, do not anxiously ponder the manner or matter of your defence, nor what you are to say;
12 No ka mea, na ka Uhane Hemolele no e ao mai ia oukou, ia hora, i ka mea e pono ai oukou ke olelo aku.
for the Holy Spirit shall teach you at that very moment what you must say."
13 Alaila olelo aku la kekahi o ka ahakanaka ia ia, E ke Kumu, e olelo ae oe i kuu hoahanau e mahele mai i ka waiwai no'u.
Just then a man in the crowd appealed to Him. "Rabbi," he said, "tell my brother to give me a share of the inheritance."
14 I mai la ia, E ke kanaka, nawai au i hoolilo i lunakanawai, a i mea mahele waiwai no oukou?
"Man," He replied, "who has constituted me a judge or arbitrator over you?"
15 A olelo mai la oia ia lakou, E manao, a e malama ia oukou iho i ka puniwaiwai; no ka mea, aole no ka nui o ko ke kanaka waiwai kona ola ana.
And to the people He said, "Take care, be on your guard against all covetousness, for no one's life consists in the superabundance of his possessions."
16 A olelo mai la oia i ka olelonane ia lakou, i mai la, O kekahi kanaka ua hoohua nui mai la kona aina;
And He spoke a parable to them. "A certain rich man's lands," He said, "yielded abundant crops,
17 A nalu iho la ia iloko ona, i iho la, Pehea la wau e hana'i? no ka mea, aole o'u wahi e hoahu ai i ka'u ai.
and he debated within himself, saying, "'What am I to do? for I have no place in which to store my crops.'
18 I iho la hoi oia, Penei au e hana'i; e wawahi au i ko'u mau halepapaa, a e kukulu hou i mahuahua'e; a malaila au e hoahu ai i ka'u ai, a me kuu waiwai a pau.
"And he said to himself, "'This is what I will do: I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and in them I will store up all my harvest and my wealth;
19 A e olelo iho au i kuu uhane, E ka uhane, ua nui kou waiwai i hoahuia no na makahiki he nui wale; e noho nanea oe; e ai no, a e inu no me ka lealea.
and I will say to my life, "'Life, you have ample possessions laid up for many years to come: take your ease, eat, drink, enjoy yourself.'
20 Aka, olelo mai la ke Akua ia ia, E ke kanaka naaupo! i keia po, e kiiia'ku ai kou uhane; alaila no wai la ia mau mea au i hoomakaukau ai?
"But God said to him, "'Foolish man, this night your life is demanded from you; and these preparations--for whom shall they be?'
21 Pela hoi ka mea i hoolakolako waiwai nona iho, a i lako ole i ko ke Akua.
"So is it with him who amasses treasure for himself, but has no riches in God."
22 Alaila olelo mai la i kana mau haumana, No ia mea, ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, Mai manao nui ma ko oukou ola ana, i ka mea e ai ai oukou; aole hoi ma ke kino, i ka mea e aahu ai oukou.
Then turning to His disciples He said, "For this reason I say to you, 'Dismiss all anxious care for your lives, inquiring what you are to eat, and for your bodies, what you are to put on.'
23 Ua oi aku ke ola mamua o ka ai, a o ke kino hoi mamua o ke kapa.
For life is a greater gift than food, and the body is a greater gift than clothing.
24 E hoomanao i na manu koraka; aole lakou lulu anoano, aole hoi hoahu ai, aole hoi o lakou hale waiwai, aole hoi hale papaa; na ke Akua hoi lakou i hanai: aole anei i oi nui aku oukou mamua o na manu?
Observe the ravens. They neither sow nor reap, and have neither store-chamber nor barn. And yet God feeds them. How far more precious are you than the birds!
25 Owai kekahi mea o oukou e hiki i kona manao nui ana ke hooloihi i kona kiekie i hookahi kubita?
And which of you is able by anxious thought to add a moment to his life?
26 A i ole hoi e hiki ia oukou ke hana i ka mea uuku loa, no ke aha la e manao nui ai no na mea e ae?
If then you are unable to do even a very little thing, why be over-anxious about other matters?
27 E hoomanao i na lilia i ko lakou ulu ana; aole lakou i hana, aole hoi i milo; ke olelo aku nei hoi au ia oukou, o Solomona i kona nani a pau, aole ia i kahiko like ia me kekahi o ia mau mea.
Observe the lilies, how they grow. They neither labour nor spin. And yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was as beautifully dressed as one of these.
28 A ina pela ke Akua i kahiko mai ai i ka nahelehele e waiho ana ma ke kula i keia la a i ka la apopo e hooloiia'i iloko o ka umu; aole anei ia e kahiko io mai ia oukou, e ka poe paulele kapekepeke?
But if God so clothes the vegetation in the fields, that blooms to-day and to-morrow will be thrown into the oven, how much more certainly will He clothe you, you men of feeble faith!
29 Mai hoopapau oukou ma ka mea e ai ai oukou, a ma ka mea e inu ai oukou. Mai noho hoi a kanalua.
"Therefore, do not be asking what you are to eat nor what you are to drink; and do not waver between hope and fear.
30 No ka mea, na na lahuikanaka o keia ao i hoopapau ma ia mau mea a pau; a he maopopo no i ko oukou Makua, o na mea ia e pono ai oukou.
For though the nations of the world pursue these things, as for you, your Father knows that you need them.
31 Aka, e hoopapau nui oukou ma ke aupuni o ke Akua; alaila o ua mea la kekahi e haawiia no ia oukou.
But make His Kingdom the object of your pursuit, and these things shall be given you in addition.
32 Mai makau oukou, e ka ohana uuku; no ka mea, o ka makemake o ko oukou Makua e haawi i ke aupuni ia oukou.
"Dismiss your fears, little flock: your Father finds a pleasure in giving you the Kingdom.
33 E kuai lilo aku i ko oukou waiwai, a e haawi manawalea aku. E hoolakolako ia oukou iho i mau aa moni nahaehae ole, i waiwai pau ole ma ka lani, kahi hiki ole ai i ka aihue, kahi e ino ole ai i ka mu.
Sell your possessions and give alms. Provide yourselves with purses that will never wear out, a treasure inexhaustible in Heaven, where no thief can come nor moth consume.
34 No ka mea, ma kahi e waiho ai ko oukou waiwai, malaila pu no hoi ko oukou naau.
For where your wealth is stored, there also will your heart be.
35 E kakooia ko oukou mau puhaka, i aa hoi ko oukou mau kukui;
"Have your girdles on, and let your lamps be alight;
36 A e hoolike hoi oukou me ka poe kanaka e kali ana i ko lakou naku, ke hoi mai ia mai ka ahaaina mare mai, e hiki ia lakou ke wehe koke ia ia i kona hiki ana mai a kikeke.
and be yourselves like men waiting for their master--on the look-out till he shall return from the wedding feast--that, when he comes and knocks, they may open the door instantly.
37 Pomaikai ka poe kauwa a ka haku e ike ai e kiai ana i kona wa e hiki mai ai. He oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, e kakoo no oia ia ia iho, a e hoonoho oia ia lakou e ai; a e hele mai ia e lawelawe na lakou.
Blessed are those servants, whom their Master when He comes shall find on the watch. I tell you in solemn truth, that He will tie an apron round Him, and will bid them recline at table while He comes and waits on them.
38 A i hiki mai ia i ka lua paha o ka wati, a i hiki mai ia i ke kolu paha o ka wati, a ike mai ia lakou pela na pomaikai ua poe kauwa la.
And whether it be in the second watch or in the third that He comes and finds them so, blessed are they.
39 I ike hoi oukou i keia, ina i ike ka mea hale i ka hore e hiki mai ai ka aihue, ina ua kiai no ia, aole ia e kuu aku i kona hale e wawahiia mai.
Of this be sure, that if the master of the house had known what time the robber was coming, he would have kept awake and not have allowed his house to be broken into.
40 Nolaila, e noho makaukau hoi oukou, no ka mea, e hiki mai ana ke Keiki a ke kanaka, i ka hora e manao ole ia e oukou.
Be you also ready, for at an hour when you are not expecting Him the Son of Man will come."
41 Alaila ninau aku la o Petero ia ia, E ka Haku, no makou anei kau e olelo nei i keia olelonane? no na mea a pau anei?
"Master," said Peter, "are you addressing this parable to us, or to all alike?"
42 A olelo mai la ka Haku, Owai la hoi ka puuku malama pono me ke akamai e hooliloia'e e kona Haku i luna no kona poe ohua, e haawi ma ka manawa pono, i kauwahi ai na lakou?
"Who, then," replied the Lord, "is the faithful and intelligent steward whom his Master will put in charge of His household to serve out their rations at the proper times?
43 Pomaikai na kauwa la ke ike mai kona haku ia ia e hana ana pela i kona hiki ana mai.
Blessed is that servant whom his Master when He comes shall find so doing.
44 Ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, E hoolilo oia ia ia i mea nana e malama i kana mau mea a pau.
I tell you truly that He will put him in authority over all His possessions.
45 Aka, i olelo kela kauwa iloko o kona naau, Ua hoopanee kuu haku i kona hoi ana mai; a i hoomaka hoi e pepehi i na kauwa kane a me na kauwa wahine, e ai ana hoi, a e inu ana a ona;
But if that servant should say in his heart, 'My Master is a long time in coming,' and should begin to beat the menservants and the maids, and to eat and drink, drinking even to excess;
46 E hoi mai no ka haku o ua kauwa la, i ka la e kiai ole ai ia, a i ka hora e manao ole ai ia, a e t hahau ia ia a moku, a e haawi i kona uku me ka poe manaoio ole.
that servant's Master will come on a day when he is not expecting Him and at an hour that he knows not of, and will punish him severely, and make him share the lot of the unfaithful.
47 A o ke kauwa i ike i ka makemake o kona haku, aole hoi i hoomakaukau, aole hoi i hana mamuli o kona makemake, oia ke hahau nui ia.
And that servant who has been told his Master's will and yet made no preparation and did not obey His will, will receive many lashes.
48 A o ka mea i ike ole, a hana hoi i na mea e pono ai ka hahau ana, oia ke hahau uuku ia. O ka mea ua haawiia ia ia ka mea nui, ia ia hoi e kii hou ia mai ai ka mea nui; a i nui ka mea i waihoia i ke kanaka, he nui no hoi ka mea e noi hou ia mai ia ia.
But he who had not been told it and yet did what deserved the scourge, will receive but few lashes. To whomsoever much has been given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been entrusted, of him a larger amount will be demanded.
49 Ua hele mai nei au e hoolei i ke ahi ma ka honua, heaha hoi ko'u makemake e, ina i hoaia.
"I came to throw fire upon the earth, and what is my desire? Oh that it were even now kindled!
50 He bapetizo ko'u e hapetizoia'i; a ua pilikia hoi au a pau ia!
But I have a baptism to undergo; and how am I pent up till it is accomplished!
51 Ke manao nei anei oukou ua hele mai nei au e haawi i ke kuikahi ma ka honua! Ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, Aole; aka i ke ku e.
Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? No, I tell you that I came to bring dissension.
52 No ka mea ma neia hope aku, e ku e ana na mea elima iloko o ka hale hookahi, o ke kokookolu i ke kokoolua, a o ke kokoolua i ke kokookolu.
For from this time there will be in one house five persons split into parties. Three will form a party against two and two will form a party against three;
53 E ku e mai ka makuakane i ke keikikane, a o ke keikikane i ka makuakane; a o ka makuwahine i ke kaikamahine, a o ke kaikamahine i ka makuwahine; a o ka makuahonoaiwahine i kana hunonawahine, a o ka hunonawahine i kona makuahonoai wahine.
father against son and son against father; mother attacking daughter and daughter her mother, mother-in-law her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law her mother-in-law."
54 A olelo mai la ia i ka ahakanaka, A ike oukou i kekahi ao e hoea mai ana mai ke komohana mai, olelo oukou, E ua auanei; a pela io no.
Then He said to the people also, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, 'There is to be a shower;' and it comes to pass.
55 A i ka wa e pa mai ai ka makani kukuluhema, olelo oukou, E wela auanei; a pela io no.
And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, 'It will be burning hot;' and it comes to pass.
56 E ka poe hookamani! E hiki no ia oukou ke hoomaopopo i na mea i ikea ma ka lani a ma ka honua; pehea la i maopopo ole ai keia manawa ia oukou?
Vain pretenders! You know how to read the aspect of earth and sky. How is it you cannot read this present time?
57 No ke aha la hoi i hoomaopopo ole ai oukou nei i ka pono?
"Why, too, do you not of yourselves arrive at just conclusions?
58 A i kou hele pn ana i ke alii me kou mea i lawehala ai, e hooikaika oe ma ke alanui i weheia'i oe e ia, o kai kela ia oe i ka lunakanawai, a na ka lunakanawai oe e haawi i ka ilamuku, a na ka ilamuku hoi oe e hahao iloko o ka halepaahao.
For when, with your opponent, you are going before the magistrate, on the way take pains to get out of his power; for fear that, if he should drag you before the judge, the judge may hand you over to the officer of the court, and the officer lodge you in prison.
59 Ke olelo aku nei au ia oe, aole loa oe e puka e mai, aia pau loa ia mea ia oe i ka ukuia.
Never, I tell you, will you get free till you have paid the last farthing."
