Romans 3
1 Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
NO ia hoi, heaha anei ka mea e oi aku ai ka Iudaio? Heaha hoi ka pomaikai o ke okipoepoe ana?
2 Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the revelations of God.
He nui no ma kela mea, ma keia mea; eia hoi ka mua, ua haawiia mai ia lakou na kanawai o ke Akua.
3 For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
Heaha hoi i manaoio ole kekahi poe? E hiolo anei ka oiaio o ke Akua i ko lakou hoomaloka?
4 May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, “that you might be justified in your words, and might prevail when you come into judgment.”
Aole loa ia; aka, e hooiaioia ku ke Akua ke hoopunipuni na kanaka a pau: me ka mea i palapalaia, I hoaponoia'i oe i kau olelo ana mai, a i lanakila hoi oe i kou hoahewa ana mai.
5 But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.
A ina e hoakaka ae ko kakou hewa i ka pono o ke Akua, heaha ka kakou mea e olelo ai? He pono ole anei ke Akua ke hooili mai i ka inaina? (ke olelo nei au ma ka ke kanaka; )
6 May it never be! For then how will God judge the world?
Aole loa: ina pela, pehea la e hoopai mai ai ke Akua i ko ke ao nei?
7 For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
A ina i lilo ka oiaio o ke Akua i mea e nui ai kona nani, no ko'u hoopunipuni ana; no ke aha la e hoohewaia mai ai au e like me ke kanaka hewa?
8 Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), “Let’s do evil, that good may come?” Those who say so are justly condemned.
E olelo anei kakou, e like me ka makou i olelo ino ia mai ai, a e like me ka kekahi poe i olelo no makou, E hana hewa kakou e hiki mai ai ka maikai? He pono ko lakou hoohewaia.
9 What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.
Heaha hoi? ua oi aku anei kakou? Aole loa; no ka mea, ua hoakaka makou mamua, O na Iudaio a me na Helene, ua pau pu lakou i ka hewa;
10 As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one.
E like me ka mea i palapalaia, Aole loa he mea pono, aole hookahi.
11 There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
Aole no he mea i ike, aole hoi he mea i imi i ke Akua.
12 They have all turned away. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not so much as one.”
Ua pau lakou i ka hele hewa, ua lilo lakou i poe pono ole; aole loa he mea e hana ana i ka maikai, aole loa hookaki.
13 “Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.” “The poison of vipers is under their lips.”
O ko lakou kaniai he lua kupapau hamama; ua hoopunipuni lakou me ko lakou mau alelo; aia malalo o ko lakou mau lehelehe ka mea make a na moonihoawa.
14 “Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
Ua piha ko lakou waha i ka hailili a me ka mea awahia.
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood.
Ua mama ko lakou mau wawae i ka hookahe koko.
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways.
Aia ma ko lakou mau alanui ka luku ana a me ka popilikia.
17 The way of peace, they haven’t known.”
Aole hoi lakou i ike i ke alanui e malu ai.
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Aole he weliweli i ke Akua imua o ko lakou mau maka.
19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
Ua ike no kakou, o na mea a ke kanawai i olelo mai ai, ua olelo no ia i ka poe malalo o ke kanawai; i paa na waha a pau, a i lilo hoi ko ke ao nei a pau i hewa imua o ke Akua.
20 Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight; for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
Nolaila ma ka hana ana ma ke kanawai, aohe kanaka e hoaponoia imua ona; no ka mea, ma ke kanawai ka ike ana i ka hewa.
21 But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;
Ano hoi, ua hoakakaia mai ko ke Akua hoapono ana aole ma ke kanawai; ua hoikeia mai ia e ke kanawai a me na kaula.
22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,
Oia hoi ka hoapono ana o ke Akua, ma ka manaoio aku ia Iesu Kristo, no na mea a pau, a maluna hoi o ka poe a pau e manaoio ana; aole mea okoa;
23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
No ka mea, ua lawehala na mea a pau, ua nele hoi i ka nani o ke Akua.
24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
Ua hoapono wale ia mai ma kona lokomaikai, no ka hoola ana ma o Kristo Iesu la;
25 whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance;
Oia ka ke Akua i haawi mai ai i mohaikalahewa ma ka hilinai i kona koko, i mea e hoakaka ai i kona hoapono ana, i ke kala ana i na hewa i hana e ia mamua, i ke ahonui ana o ke Akua;
26 to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, that he might himself be just and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
I mea e hoakaka ai i kona hoapono ana, i keia manawa; i pono oia, a i mea hoapono hoi i ka mea manaoio ia Iesu.
27 Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
Anhea la hoi ke kaena ana? Ua paleia'ku ia. Ma ke kanawai hea? O na hana anei? Aole; ma ke kanawai no hoi o ka manaoio ana.
28 We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
Nolaila, ke manao nei makou, ua hoaponoia mai ke kanaka ma ka manaoio, aole ma na hana o ke kanawai.
29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn’t he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
O ke Akua no anei ia no ka poe Iudaio wale no? Aole no na kanaka e kekahi? Oia, no na kanaka e kekahi.
30 since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
No ka mea, oia hookahi no ke Akua nana e hoapono i ka poe i okipoepoeia, ma ka manaoio, a i ka poe i okipoepoe ole ia hoi ma ka manaoio.
31 Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.
Ke hoohiolo nei anei makou i ke kanawai, ma ka manaoio? Aole loa: ke hookupaa nei no makou i ke kanawai.
