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.
Every person must be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist have been appointed 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.
So then, whoever resists authority opposes what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
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 evil works. Do yoʋ wish to have no fear of the one in authority? Do what is good, and yoʋ will have praise from him.
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 God's servant for your good. But if yoʋ do evil, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. As God's servant, he is an avenger who executes wrath on the one who does 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.
Therefore it is necessary to be subject to authority, not only because of wrath, but also because 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.
That is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are servants of God, attending continually to this work.
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.
Therefore render to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, fear to whom fear is due, and honor to whom honor is due.
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 nothing to anyone, except to love one another, for he who loves others 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, “Yoʋ shall not commit adultery, Yoʋ shall not murder, Yoʋ shall not steal, Yoʋ shall not covet,” and whatever other commandments there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Yoʋ shall love yoʋr neighbor as yoʋrself.”
10 Aole e hana hewa ana ke aloha i kona hoalauna; nolaila o ke aloha ka hooko ana i ke kanawai.
Love does no harm to its neighbor; therefore love 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.
And do this, knowing that the hour has now come for us to be awakened from sleep. For our salvation is nearer now 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 nearly over, and the day is almost here. So let us lay aside the works of darkness and 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 properly, as in the day, not in revelries and drinking bouts, not in illicit affairs and sensual indulgences, not in strife 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 Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
