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 person be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by 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.
Therefore he who resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will incur judgment.
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 the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from 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 it is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for it does not bear the sword in vain. It is God's servant to administer retribution on those who do what is wrong.
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.
Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of this retribution, but also as a matter of conscience.
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 this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God, concerned with 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.
Give therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due; customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor.
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 one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has 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 the commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not give false testimony," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You are to love your neighbor as yourself."
10 Aole e hana hewa ana ke aloha i kona hoalauna; nolaila o ke aloha ka hooko ana i ke kanawai.
Love does not harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment 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.
Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first 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 gone, and the day is near. Let us therefore throw off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor 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 decently, as in the daytime; not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and lustful acts, and not in dissension and jealousy.
14 Aka, e aahu oukou i ka Haku ia Iesu Kristo, aole e hoomakaukau no ke kino mamuli o kona mau kuko.
But put on the Lord Yeshua Meshikha, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
