Roma 2
1 NOLAILA hoi, e ke kanaka, ka mea nana o hoohewa aku, aole on mea e hoaponoia'i; no ka mea, i kou hoahewa ana i kekahi, ua hoahewa oe ia oe iho, no kau hana ana i na mea au i hoahewa aku ai.
So if you judge others you don't have any excuse, whoever you are! For in whatever way you condemn others, you're judging yourself, because you're doing the same things.
2 Ua ike no kakou, ma ka pono ka ke Akua hoahewa ana mai i ka poe e hana ana ia mau mea.
We know that God's judgment on those who do such things is based on truth.
3 E ke kanaka, ka mea nana o hoahewa i ka poe e hana pela, a ke hoohalike nei oe me lakou, ke manao nei anei oe e pakele i ka ke Akua hoahewa ana mai?
When you judge them do you really think that you however can avoid God's judgment?
4 A ke hoowahawaha nei anei oe i ka nui loa o kona lokomaikai, a me kona ahonui, a me kona hoomanawanui ana, aole hoi oe i hoomaopopo, o ko ke Akua maikai, o ka mea ia o alakai ia oe i ka mihi?
Or is it that you're treating his wonderful kindness, tolerance, and patience with contempt, not realizing that God in his kindness is trying to lead you to repent?
5 Aka, mamuli o kou paakiki a me ka naau mihi ole o hoahu ana oe nou iho i ka inaina no ka la e inainaia mai ai, a e hoikeia mai ai hoi ka hoahewa pono ana mai a ke Akua;
Due to your hard-hearted attitude and your refusal to repent, you're making things far worse for yourself on the day of retribution when God's judgment is demonstrated to be absolutely right.
6 Nana no e uku mai i kela kanaka i keia kanaka e like me kana hana ana;
God will make sure everyone receives what they deserve according to what they've done.
7 I ka poe e imi ana i ka nani, a me ka mahalo, a me ka make ole, ma ka hooikaika mau ana i ka hana maikai, i ke ola loa; (aiōnios g166)
Those who have kept on trying to do what is good and right will receive glory and honor, immortality and eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
8 Aka, i ka poe i hoopaapaa, me ka malama ole i ka olelo oiaio, a malama hoi ma ka hewa, ia lakou ka huhu a me ka inainaia;
But those who think only of themselves, rejecting the truth and deliberately choosing to do evil, will receive punishment and furious hostility.
9 O ka poino, a me ka ehaeha matuna o ka uhane o kela kanaka o keia kanaka e hana ana i ka hewa; o ka Iudaio mua, a o ka Helene hoi;
Everyone who does evil will have trouble and suffering—the Jewish people first, and the foreigners too.
10 Aka, o ka nani, a me ka mahalo, a me ka pomaikai, no na mea a pau e hana ana i ka pono; no ka Iudaio mua a no ka Helene hoi;
But everyone who does good will have glory, honor, and peace—the Jewish people first, and the foreigners too.
11 No ka mea, aole ke Akua i manao mai ma ko ka helehelena.
God has no favorites.
12 No ka mea, o na mea kanawai ole a pau i hana hewa, e make kanawai ole lakou; a o na mea a pau i hana hewa malalo o ke kanawai, e hoahewaia lakou ma ke kanawai;
Those who sin even though they don't have the written law are still lost, while those who sin that do have the written law will be condemned by that law.
13 (No ka mea, aole ka poe lohe wale no i ke kanawai ka pono imua o ke Akua; aka, o ka poe o malama i ke kanawai e hoaponoia'na.
Just listening to what the law says doesn't make you right in God's sight. It's those who do what the law says who are made right.
14 No ia hoi, o ka poe kanaka e, ka poe kanawai ole, ina ma ko lakou manao maoli i hana'i lakou i na mea maloko o ke kanawai, o keia poe kanawai ole, he kanawai lakou no lakou iho no;
The foreigners don't have the written law, but when they instinctively do what it says, they are following the law even without having the written law.
15 A e hoike nei hoi lakou, ua kakauia ka pono a ke kanawai ma ko lakou mau naau, a ua hooiaio ko lakou lunamanao, e hoahewa ana, a e hoapono ana ko lakou mau naau ia lakou iho; )
In this way they show how the law works that's written in their minds. As they think about what they're doing, their conscience either accuses them for doing wrong or defends them for doing what is good and right.
16 I ka la a ko Akua e hoopai ai i na mea huna a na kanaka, ma o Iesu Kristo la, e like me ka'u euanelio.
The good news I share is that a day is coming when God will judge, through Jesus Christ, everyone's secret thoughts.
17 Ina ua kapaia'ku oe he Iudaio, a ua hilinai iho oe ma ke kanawai, ua haano i ke Akua,
What about you who call yourself a Jew? You rely on the written law and boast about having a special relationship to God.
18 A ua ike oe i kona makemake, ua hoao hoi i na mea ano e, ua aoia oe ma ke kanawai;
You know what he wants; you do what's right because you've been taught from the law.
19 Ua manao iho hoi oe, he alakai oe no na makapo, he malamalama hoi no ka poe iloko o ka pouli;
You're absolutely sure that you can guide the blind, and that you are a light to those in the dark.
20 He mea nana e ao i ka poe naaupo, he kumu hoi na na kamalii, ua loaa hoi ia oe ke ano o ka ike, a me ka oiaio iloko o ke kauawai:
You think you can set ignorant people straight, a teacher of “children,” because you know from the law all the truth there is to know.
21 O oe ke ao aku ia hai, aole anei oe e ao ia oe iho? O oe ke papa aku, Mai aihue, e aihue no anei oe?
So if you're busy teaching others, why don't you teach yourself? You tell people not to steal, but are you stealing?
22 O oe ke olelo aku, Mai moe kolohe, e moe kolohe no anei oe? O oe ke hoopailua i na kii, e aihue no anei oe i na mea laa?
You tell people not to commit adultery, but are you committing adultery? You tell people not to worship idols, but do you profane temples?
23 O oe ke haano aku i ke kanawai, e hoino no anei oe i ke Akua ma ka haihai ana i ke kanawai?
You boast about having the law, but don't you misrepresent God by breaking it?
24 No ka mea, ua olelo ino ia'e ka inoa o ke Akua iwaena o na kanaka e, ma o oukou la, e like me ka mea i palapalaia.
As Scripture says, “God's character is defamed among the foreigners because of you.”
25 O ke okipoepoe ana, he mea ia e pono ai, ke malama oe i ke kanawai; aka, ina haihai oe i ke kanawai, ua lilo kou okipoepoe ana i okipoepoe ole ana.
Being circumcised has value only if you do what the law says. But if you break the law, your circumcision is as worthless as those who are not circumcised at all.
26 A ina o ka mea i okipoepoe ole ia e malama i na kauoha o ke kanawai, aole anei e manaoia kona okipoepoe ole ana, me he okipoepoe ana la?
If a man who is not circumcised keeps the law, he should be considered as being circumcised even though he's not.
27 A o ka mea i malama i ke kanawai mamuli o kona hanau ana a me ke okipoepoe ole, e hoahewa oia ia oe i ka mea i loaa ka palapala a me ke okipoepoeia, a i lilo hoi i mea haihai i ke kanawai.
The uncircumcised foreigners who keep the law will condemn you if you break the law, even though you have the written law and circumcision.
28 No ka mea, o ka mea e Iudaio ana mawaho, aole ia he Iudaio; aole hoi ka mea mawaho ma ke kino, ke okipoepoe ana.
It's not what's on the outside that makes you a Jew; it's not the physical sign of circumcision.
29 Aka, o ka mea e Iudaio ana maloko, oia ka Iudaio; a o ke okipoepoe ana, no ka naau ia, ma ka uhane, aole ma ka hua palapala; aole no na kanaka kona hoomaikaiia, no ke Akua mai no.
What makes you a Jew is on the inside, a “circumcision of the heart” that doesn't follow the letter of the law but the Spirit. Someone like that is looking for praise from God, not from people.
