James 2
1 My brethren, do not have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [Lord] of glory, with respect of persons:
E NA hoahanau o'u, i ko oukou manaoio ana ia Iesu Kristo i ko kakou Haku nani, mai manao aku ma ko ke kanaka helehelena.
2 for if there come unto your synagogue a man with a gold ring in splendid apparel, and a poor man also come in in vile apparel,
No ka mea, ina e komo kekahi kanaka iloko o ko oukou halehalawai me ke komolima gula, a nani hoi kona kapa, a komo mai no hoi kekahi mea ilihune, inoino hoi kona kapa;
3 and ye look upon him who wears the splendid apparel, and say, Do thou sit here well, and say to the poor, Do thou stand there, or sit here under my footstool:
A manao aku oukou ma ka mea i kahiko i ke kapa nani, a e olelo ae oukou, Maanei oe e noho ai ma kahi maikai; a e olelo aku hoi i ka mea ilihune, E ku oe malaila, a e noho paha oe maanei ma kuu paepae wawae;
4 have ye not made a difference among yourselves, and become judges having evil thoughts?
Aole anei oukou i lilo i poe paewaewa aku, e manao hewa wale aku ana?
5 Hear, my beloved brethren: Has not God chosen the poor as to the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to them that love him?
E hoolohe oukou, e na hoahanau aloha o'u, aole anei ke Akua i wae ae i ka poe ilihune o ke ao nei e lako i ka manaoio, a e lilo i poe hooilina o ke aupuni ana i olelo mai ai i ka poe e aloha aku ana ia ia?
6 But ye have despised the poor [man]. Do not the rich oppress you, and [do not] they drag you before [the] tribunals?
Aka, ua hoowahawaha oukou i ka poe ilihune. Aole anei i hooluhi mai ka poe waiwai ia oukou, a i alakai hoi ia oukou ma kahi e hookolokolo ai?
7 And [do not] they blaspheme the excellent name which has been called upon you?
Aole anei lakou i hoino i kela inoa maikai i kapaia aku ai oukou?
8 If indeed ye keep [the] royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well.
Ina oukou e malama i ke kanawai hemolele me ia ma ka palapala, E aloha aku oe i kou hoalauna e like me oe iho, ina ua pono ka oukou hana ana;
9 But if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
Aka, ina e manao oukou ma ko ka helehelena, ua hana hewa oukou, a ua hoohewaia oukou e ke kanawai he poe lawehala.
10 For whoever shall keep the whole law and shall offend in one [point], he has come under the guilt of [breaking] all.
O ka mea malama i ke kanawai a pau, a i haule nae ia ma ka mea hookahi, ua hewa no ia i ke kanawai a pau.
11 For he who said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become transgressor of [the] law.
No ka mea, o ka mea nana i kauoha mai, Mai moe kolohe oe, kauoha mai la no hoi, Mai pepehi kanaka oe. Ano, ina aole oe i moe kolohe aku, aka, ua pepehi i ke kanaka, ua lilo oe i mea haihai i ke kanawai.
12 So speak ye, and so act, as those that are to be judged by [the] law of liberty;
E olelo aku oukou, a e hana aku hoi, e like me ka poe e hookolokoloia ana ma ke kanawai o ke ola.
13 for judgment [will be] without mercy to him that has shewn no mercy. Mercy glories over judgment.
O ka mea i hana me ke aloha ole aku, e hoahewaia auanei oia me ke aloha ole ia mai; aole makau ka lokomaikai i ka hoohewaia.
14 What [is] the profit, my brethren, if any one say he have faith, but have not works? can faith save him?
E na hoahanau o'u, heaha ka waiwai, ke olelo kekahi, he manaoio kona, aole hoi ana hana? E hiki anei i ka manaoio ke hoola ia ia?
15 Now if a brother or a sister is naked and destitute of daily food,
Ina he kapa ole ko ke kaikaina paha, ke kaikuwahine paha, a i nele hoi i ka ai i kela la i keia la;
16 and one from amongst you say to them, Go in peace, be warmed and filled; but give not to them the needful things for the body, what [is] the profit?
A i i aku kekahi o oukou ia laua, O hele olua me ka pomaikai, a e hoopumahanaia, a e maona no hoi; aole nae oukou e haawi io aku ia laua i ka mea e pono ai ke kino; heaha la ka waiwai?
17 So also faith, if it have not works, is dead by itself.
Pela no hoi ka manaoio, ina oia wale no aole ana hana, ua make ia.
18 But some one will say, Thou hast faith and I have works. Shew me thy faith without works, and I from my works will shew thee my faith.
A e i mai kekahi, O ka manaoio kou, a na'u hoi ka hana ana; e hoike mai oe ia'u i kou manaoio me kau hana ole, a ma ka'u hana ana e hoike aku ai au ia oe i kuu manaoio.
19 Thou believest that God is one. Thou doest well. The demons even believe, and tremble.
Ke manaoio nei oe, aia hookahi Akua; ua pono oe: pela no ka poe daimonio i manaoio ai, me ka haalulu hoi.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
E ke kanaka lapuwale, ke makemake nei anei oe e ike aku, ua make ka manaoio ke ole kana haua ana?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Aole anei i hoaponoia mai o Aberahama ko kakou kupuna ma ka hana ana, i kona wa i mohai aku ai i kana keiki ia Isaaka maluna o ke kuahu?
22 Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and that by works faith was perfected.
Ke ike nei oe, i hooikaika pu ka manaoio me kana hana ana, a ma ka hana ana i pouo ai ka manaoio.
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and he was called Friend of God.
A ua hookoia hoi ka palapala, i i mai ai, Ua manaoio Aberahama i ke Akua, a ua hooiliia'e ia i pono nona; a ua kapaia iho la oia he hoaaloha no ke Akua.
24 Ye see that a man is justified on the principle of works, and not on the principle of faith only.
Ke ike ae nei oukou, ua hoaponoia mai no ke kanaka ma na hana, aole ma ka manaoio wale no.
25 But was not in like manner also Rahab the harlot justified on the principle of works, when she had received the messengers and put [them] forth by another way?
Aole anei i hoaponoia o Rahaba ka wahine hookamakama ma ka hana ana i ka wa ana i hookipa ai i na elele, a hoouna aku la ma ke ala e?
26 For as the body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
Oiaio no, o ke kino uhane ole, ua make no ia, pela hoi ka manaoio hana ole, ua make no ia.
