Roma 9
1 KE olelo aku nei au i ka oiaio ma Kristo, aole o'u hoopunipuni, a o kuu lunamanao kekahi e hoike nei ia'u, ma ka Uhane Hemolele;
I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, (pneuma)
2 He kaumaha nui ko'u a me ka ehaeha mau ma kuu naau.
That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
3 No ka mea, he pono i kuu manao e okiia mai au, mai o Kristo mai, no kuu poe hoahanau, na hanauna o'u ma ke kino.
For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4 He poe Iseraela lakou, ia lakou ka hookamaia, a me ka nani, a me na berita, a me ka haawi ana mai i ke kanawai, a me ka hoomana, a me na olelo pomaikai;
Who are Israelites; to whom pertains the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
5 No lakou hoi ka poe kupuna, a na lakou mai hoi o Kristo ma ke kino, oia no maluna o na mea a pau, ke Akua hoomaikai mau loa ia. Amene. (aiōn g165)
Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Aole nae i haule wale ka olelo a ke Akua. No ka mea, aole ka poe Iseraela lakou a pau na Iseraela mai:
Not as though the word (logos) of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Aole hoi he poe keiki lakou a pau ka poe mamo na Aberahama mai; aka, maloko o Isaaka e kohoia ai kaa poe mamo;
Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall your seed be called.
8 Oia hoi o na keiki ma ke kino, aole lakou ka poe keiki na ke Akua; aka, o na keiki a ka olelo hoopomaikai e heluia na mamo.
That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9 No ka mea, penei ka olelo hoopomaikai, I keia wa e hoi mai ana au, a e loaa ia Sara he keiki kane.
For this is the word (logos) of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
10 Aole hoi keia wale no; aka, o Rebeka kekahi, hapai ae la ia na kekahi, na Isaaka ko kakou kupuna kane,
And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
11 No ka mea, (aole laua i hanau, aole hoi i hana i ka mea maikai, aole hoi i ka hewa, i kupaa ai ka manao o ke Akua, ma ka wae ana, aole no ka hana, aka, no ka mea nana i koho mai, )
(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calls; )
12 Ua haiia mai keia ia ia, E hookauwa aku ke kaikuaana na ke kaikaina;
It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13 Me ka mea i palapalaia mai, O Iakoba ka'u i aluha ai, a o Esau hoi ka'u i hoowahawaha ai.
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14 Heaha hoi ka kakou e olelo nei? He hewa anei ko ke Akua? Aole loa.
What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15 No ka mea, ua olelo mai la oia ia Mose, E aloha ana au i ka'u mea e aloha aku ai, a e menemene ana au i ka'u mea e menemene aku ai.
For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16 No ia hoi, aole na ka mea e makemake ana, aole hoi na ka mea e holo ana, aka, na ke Akua no, nana i aloha mai.
So then it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy.
17 No ka mea, olelo mai la ka Palapala hemolele ia Parao, No keia wahi mea ua hoala mai au ia oe, i hoike aku au i ko'u mana ma ou la, a i kaulana ai ko'u inoa ma ka honua a pau.
For the scripture says unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
18 Nolaila hoi, ua aloha mai ai oia i kana mea i manao ai, a ua hoopaakiki hoi oia i kana mea i manao ai.
Therefore has he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardens.
19 A e ninau mai no hoi oe ia'u, No ke aha la ia i hoohewa mai ai? Nawai la hoi kona makemake i pale aku?
You will say then unto me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted his will?
20 Kahaha, E ke kanaka, owai la hoi oe ke pakike aku i ke Akua? E pono anei i ka mea i hanaia, ke olelo aku i ka mea nana i hana, No ke aha la oe i hana mai ai ia'u pela?
On the contrary; , O man, who are you that reply against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus?
21 Aole anei e hiki i ka potera ke hana iho noloko o ka popo lepo hookahi i kekahi ipu no ka mahaloia, a i kekahi no ka mahalo ole ia?
Has not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22 Heaha hoi, ina, e manao ana ke Akua, e hoomaopopo i koua huhu, a e hoike hoi i kona mana, ua hoomanawanui mai ia mo ke ahonui loa i na ipu e huhuia i hoomakaukauia no ka luku;
What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23 A e hoike mai hoi i ka nui o kona lokomaikai mai i na ipu e alohaia ana i hoomakaukau mua ai no ka nani,
And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared unto glory,
24 Ia kakou hoi ka poe ana i koho mai ai, aole mawaena o ka poe Indaio wale no, mawaena o na kauaka e kekahi.
Even us, whom he has called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25 E like me kana i olelo mai ai ma Hosea, E kapa ana au i ka poe kanaka aole no'u, i poe kanaka no'u, a me ka mea i aloha ole ia, i mea aloha.
As he says also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26 A ma kahi i oleloia'i ia lakou, Aole o ko'u poe kanaka oukou; ma laila e kapaia'i lakou he poe keiki lakou a ke Akua ola.
And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, All of you are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
27 Ua olelo mai hoi o Isaia no ka Iseraela, Ina he lehulehu na mamo a Iseraela, e like me ke one o ke kai, he hapa ka poe e hoolaia.
Isaiah also cries concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
28 No ka mea, e hooko ana oia i kana olelo, a ua paa ia ma ka pono, no ka mea, e hana ana ka Haku ma ka honua i kana mea i hai maopopo ai.
For he will finish the work, (logos) and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work (logos) will the Lord make upon the earth.
29 E like hoi me ka Isaia i olelo mua mai ai, Ina i waiho ole mai Iehova Sabaota i koena no kakou, ina, ua like pu kakou me Sodoma, a ua hoohalikeia hoi me Gomora.
And as Isaiah said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
30 Heaha ka kakou e olelo nei no ia? O ko na aina e, ka poe i imi ole i ka hoaponoia, ua loaa ia lakou ka hoaponoia, o ka hoaponoia ma ka manaoio.
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31 Aka, o ka Iseraela, ka poe i imi i ke kanawai e hoaponoia'i, aole loaa ia lakou ke kanawai e hoaponoia'i.
But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 No ke aha? No ka mea, aole imi ma ka manaoio, aka, ma na hana ana o ke kanawai: no ka mea, ua kuia lakou i kela pohaku e kuia'i;
Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone;
33 E like me ka mea i palapalaia, Eia hoi, ke waiho nei au ma Ziona i ka pohaku e kuia'i, a i ka pohaku e hina ai: a o ka mea i manaoio ia ia, aole ia e hoka.
As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone and rock of offence: and whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.
