Roma 1
1 NA Paulo, na ke kauwa a Iesu Kristo i waeia i lunaolelo, a i hookaa waleia hoi no ka euanelio a ke Akua,
Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, set apart to proclaim God's Good News,
2 Ana i hoike e mai ai mamua ma kana poe kaula, maloko o na palapala hemolele,
which God had already promised through His Prophets in Holy Writ, concerning His Son,
3 No kana Keiki Iesu Kristo ko kakou Haku, i hoohanauia na ka hua a Davida, ma ke kino,
who, as regards His human descent, belonged to the posterity of David,
4 A i hoomaopopoia hoi o ke Keiki a ke Akua me ka mana, ma ka uhane hoano, mahope o ke alahouana mai waena mai o ka poe make;
but as regards the holiness of His Spirit was decisively proved by His Resurrection to be the Son of God--I mean concerning Jesus Christ our Lord,
5 Ma ona la i loaa mai ai ia makou ke aloha, a me ka lunaolelo ana, no ka malama ana o ka manaoio iwaena o na lahuikanaka a pau no kona inoa;
through whom we have received grace and Apostleship in His service in order to win men to obedience to the faith, among all Gentile peoples,
6 Iwaena o lakou no hoi oukou na mea i waeia no Iesu Kristo:
among whom you also, called, as you have been, to belong to Jesus Christ, are numbered:
7 I ka poe a pau ma Roma, i alohaia e ke Akua, i waeia hoi i mau haipule; no oukou hoi ke aloha a me ka pomaikai, mai ke Akua mai, o ko kakou Makua, a mai ka Haku mai hoi, o Iesu Kristo.
To all God's loved ones who are in Rome, called to be saints. May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 O ka mua, ke hoomaikai aku nei au i ke Akua, ma o Iesu Kristo la no oukou a pau, no ka mea, ua hookaulanaia ko oukou manaoio, ma ka honua a pau.
First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for what He has done for all of you; for the report of your faith is spreading through the whole world.
9 O ke Akua, o ka'u mea e malama nei me kuu uhane ma ka olelo maikai no kana Keiki, oia ka mea ike no'u, i ko'u hoomanao mau ana ia oukou, ma ka'u pule,
I call God to witness--to whom I render priestly and spiritual service by telling the Good News about His Son-- how unceasingly I make mention of you in His presence,
10 E noi mau ana, ina e hiki i kekahi manawa, i keia wa aku nei paha, e hele pomaikai aku wau me ka ae ana mai o ke Akua, a hiki io oukou la.
always in my prayers entreating that now, at length, if such be His will, the way may by some means be made clear for me to come to you.
11 No ka mea, ke ake nei au e ike aku ia oukou, e haawi aku au i kekahi pono ma ka uhane no oukou, i hookupaaia'i oukou.
For I am longing to see you, in order to convey to you some spiritual help, so that you may be strengthened;
12 Eia kekahi, e hooluoluia mai hoi au iwaena o oukou, ma ka manao lokahi ana o oukou a me au.
in other words that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and mine.
13 Eia hoi, aole o'u makemake e ike ole oukou, e na hoahanau, i kuu manao pinepine ana e hele io oukou la, (aka, ua kaohiia a hiki i keia wa, ) i loaa mai hoi ia'u kekahi hua mawaena o oukou, e like me ia mawaena o na lahuikanaka e.
And I desire you to know, brethren, that I have many a time intended to come to you--though until now I have been disappointed--in order that among you also I might gather some fruit from my labours, as I have already done among the rest of the Gentile nations.
14 He aie au na ka poe Helene a me na kanaka hemahema; na ka poe i aoia, a me ka poe i ao ole ia.
I am already under obligations alike to Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured people:
15 Pela hoi, ma ka mea hiki ia'u, ua makaukau wau e hai aku i ka euanelio ia oukou no hoi ma Roma.
so that for my part I am willing and eager to proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
16 No ka mea, aole au i hilahila i ka euanelio no Kristo; no ka mea, o ko ke Akua mana ia e ola'i, no kela mea, no keia mea manaoio; no ka Iudaio mua, a no ka Helene hoi.
For I am not ashamed of the Good News. It is God's power which is at work for the salvation of every one who believes--the Jew first, and then the Gentile.
17 No ka mea, ua hoikeia mai ilaila ko ke Akua hoapono ana mai ma ka manaoio, a i manaoio; e like me ka mea i palapalaia, O ka mea pono, ma ka manaoio, e ola ia.
For in the Good News a righteousness which comes from God is being revealed, depending on faith and tending to produce faith; as the Scripture has it, "The righteous man shall live by faith."
18 A ua hoikeia mai no hoi ka inaina o ke Akua, mai ka lani mai, i ka aia, a me ka haua ino a pau a na kanaka, i keakea me ka haua hewa, i ka olelo oiaio.
For God's anger is being revealed from Heaven against all impiety and against the iniquity of men who through iniquity suppress the truth. God is angry:
19 No ka mea, o ka mea o hiki ke ikeia no ke Akua, ua akaka ia ia lakou; no ka mea, ua hoakaka mai no ke Akua ia mea ia lakou.
because what may be known about Him is plain to their inmost consciousness; for He Himself has made it plain to them.
20 No ka mea, o kona mau mea i nana ole ia, mai ka hana ana mai o ke ao nei, ua maopopo lea ua mau mea la, oia o kona mana mau a me kona Akua ana, ma na mea i hanaia; nolaila aole o lakou mea e hoaponoia'i: (aïdios g126)
For, from the very creation of the world, His invisible perfections--namely His eternal power and divine nature--have been rendered intelligible and clearly visible by His works, so that these men are without excuse. (aïdios g126)
21 No ka mea, i ka wa i ike ai lakou i ke Akua, aole lakou i hoonani aku ia ia i Akua, aole hoi i aloha aku; aka, ua lapuwale lakou i ko lakou manao ana, a ua hoopouliia hoi ko lakou naau hawawa.
For when they had come to know God, they did not give Him glory as God nor render Him thanks, but they became absorbed in useless discussions, and their senseless minds were darkened.
22 I ko lakou hoakamai ana, lilo lakou i poe naaupo,
While boasting of their wisdom they became utter fools,
23 A hoololi aku lakou i ka nani o ke Akua make ole, i kii e like me ke kanaka make, a me na manu, a me na holoholona wawae eha, a me na mea kolo.
and, instead of worshipping the imperishable God, they worshipped images resembling perishable man or resembling birds or beasts or reptiles.
24 Nolaila hoi, kuu iho la ke Akua ia lakou ma na kuko hewa o ko lakou mau uaau, i paumaele, e hoinoino ai i ko lakou mau kino iho, ia lakou lakou.
For this reason, in accordance with their own depraved cravings, God gave them up to uncleanness, allowing them to dishonour their bodies among themselves with impurity.
25 Haalele aku la lakou i ke Akua oiaio, no ka mea apaapa, a hoomana aku la lakou, a malama hoi i ka mea i hanaia, aole i ka Mea nana i hana, oia ka mea hoomaikai mau loa ia. Amene. (aiōn g165)
For they had bartered the reality of God for what is unreal, and had offered divine honours and religious service to created things, rather than to the Creator--He who is for ever blessed. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 No ia mea, kuu iho la ke Akua ia lakou i na kuko ino; no ka mea, ua hoololi ae ko lakou poe wahine i ka aoao maoli i ka mea ku e i ka aoao maoli.
This then is the reason why God gave them up to vile passions. For not only did the women among them exchange the natural use of their bodies for one which is contrary to nature, but the men also,
27 Pela no hoi na kane, i haalele ai i ka aoao maoli o ka wahine, a ua wela i ke kuko hewa i kekahi i kekahi; na kane me na kane, e hana ana i ka mea hilahila, a e loaa ana iloko o lakou ka uka pono no ko lakou lalau ana.
in just the same way--neglecting that for which nature intends women--burned with passion towards one another, men practising shameful vice with men, and receiving in their own selves the reward which necessarily followed their misconduct.
28 A no ko lakou makemake ole e hoopaa i ke Akua ma ko lakou ike, kuu iho la ke Akua ia lakou i ka naau hewa, e hana aku lakou i na mea ku ole i ka pono:
And just as they had refused to continue to have a full knowledge of God, so it was to utterly worthless minds that God gave them up, for them to do things which should not be done.
29 Ua piha lakou i na hewa a pau, i ka moe kolohe, i ka opuinoino, i ka puniwaiwai, a mo ka hana ino; ua paapu hoi i ka huahuwa, i ka pepehi kanaka, i ka hakaka, i ka hoopunipuni, a me ka manao ino:
Their hearts overflowed with all sorts of dishonesty, mischief, greed, malice. They were full of envy and murder, and were quarrelsome, crafty, and spiteful.
30 He poe aki, he poe olelo hoohewa wale, he poe inaina i ke Akua, he poe kuamuamu, he haaheo, he haanui, he poe imi i na mea ino, he poe malama ole i na makua,
They were secret backbiters, open slanderers; hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful; inventors of new forms of sin, disobedient to parents, destitute of common sense,
31 He poe hoohemahema, he poe lawehala i na mea i hoohikiia, he poe aloha ole, he poe makoua, he poe lokoino.
faithless to their promises, without natural affection, without human pity.
32 Ua ike lakou i ke kanawai o ke Akua, o ka poe o hana pela, he pono lakou e make, a ke hana nei no lakou ia mau mea, a ua mahalo no hoi i ka poe e hana ana malaila.
In short, though knowing full well the sentence which God pronounces against actions such as theirs, as things which deserve death, they not only practise them, but even encourage and applaud others who do them.
