Roma 13
1 E A HOOLOHE na kanaka a pau i ka ke alii maluna iho; no ka mea, aole alii, ke ae ole mai ke Akua; a o ka poe e alii ana, na ke Akua no lakou i hooalii mai.
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 No ia mea, o ka mea e hoole i ka ke alii, oia ke hoole i ka ke Akua kauoha: a o ka poe hoole, o lakou ke hoahewaia.
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 No ka mea, aohe mea makau na alii no na hana maikai, aka, no na hana ino. Aole anei oe e makau i ko alii? E hana oe i ka mea pono, a e hoaponoia mai no oe e ia.
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 No ka mea, he kauwa ia na ke Akua e pono ai oe. Aka, ina e hana oe i ka hewa, e makau no oe; no ka mea, aole he mea ole kona lawe ana i ka pahikaua; no ka mea, o ke kauwa ia na ke Akua, he ilamuku e hoopai ana i ka mea hana hewa.
For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to [execute] wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5 No ia mea, he mea pono no kakou e hoolohe aku, aole no ka inaina wale no, aka, no ka manao aku i ka pono kekahi.
Wherefore [ye] must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6 Nolaila hoi, ho pono no oukou e hookupu aku kekahi; no ka mea, he poe lawehana lakou na ke Akua e malama ana ia mea.
For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
7 Nolaila, e haawi aku i na kanaka a pau i ka lakou; i ka waiwai auhau i ka mea ho pono nona ke auhau mai; a i ke dute i ka mea he pono nona ke ohi mai; a i ka makau i ka mea he pono ke makauia ku; a i ka hoomaikai i ka mea he pono ko hoomaikaiia'ku.
Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
8 Mai noho a aie wale i ka kekahi, anoai ma ke aloha i kekahi i kekahi; no ka mea, o ka mea i aloha ia hai, oia ke malama i ko kanawai.
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9 No ka mea, eia, Mai moe kolohe oe; Mai pepehi kanaka oe; Mai aihue oe; Mai hoike wahahee oe; Mai kuko wale oe: a ina he kana wai e ae, ua komo poko ia iloko o keia olelo, o nei, E aloha oe i kou hoalauna e like me oe iho.
For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if [there be] any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Aole e hana hewa ana ke aloha i kona hoalauna; nolaila o ke aloha ka hooko ana i ke kanawai.
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love [is] the fulfilling of the law.
11 Oia hoi, e hoomanao ana oukou i ka manawa, eia ka hora e ala'i kakou mai ka hiamoe ana; no ka mea, ano ua kokoke ae ko kakou ola, i ko ka wa i manaoio ai kakou.
And that, knowing the time, that now [it is] high time to awake out of sleep: for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12 Ua auwi ae nei ka po, ua kokoke mai hoi ke ao; nolaila e haalele aku kakou i na hana o ka pouli, a e aahu i na mea kaua no ka malamalama.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13 E hele pono kakou me ka hele ana i ka la; aole me ka uhauha ana a me ka ona ana, aole me ka moe kolohe ana a me ka makaleho ana, aole me ka hakaka ana a me ka ukiuki ana.
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 Aka, e aahu oukou i ka Haku ia Iesu Kristo, aole e hoomakaukau no ke kino mamuli o kona mau kuko.
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof.]
