Galatians 4
1 But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all,
KE olelo aku nei hoi au, o ka hooilina i kona wa opiopio, aole he ano e kona i ko ke kauwa, aka, nona ka waiwai a pau;
2 but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.
Aia no ia malalo o ua kumu a me na kahu, a hiki i ka manawa i hoikeia mai ai e ka makua.
3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.
Pela no kakou i ko kakou wa kamalii, ua hooluhiia e na oihana mua o ke ao nei.
4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,
Aka, i ka hiki ana mai o ka manawa maopopo, hoouna mai la ke Akua i kana Keiki, a ka wahine i hanau ai, i hanau malalo o ko kanawai.
5 that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as children.
E hoopakele ae i ka poe malalo o ke kanawai, i hookamaia mai ai kakou he poe keiki.
6 And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”
No ka mea, no ko oukou keiki ana, ua hoouna mai la ke Akua i ka Uhane o kana Keiki iloko o ko oukou mau naau, e kahea ana, E Aba, ka Makua.
7 So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
No ia mea, aole he kauwa luhi oe ma ia hope aku, aka, he keiki no; ina he keiki, he hooilina no hoi na ke Akua ma o Kristo la.
8 However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.
Aka, i ka manawa i ike ole ai oukou i ke Akua, hookauwa aku la oukou na na akua oiaio ole.
9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?
Ano hoi, ua ike oukou i ke Akua, he oiaio ua ikeia mai e ke Akua, pehea la hoi oukou i huli hou aku ai i na oihana mua palupalu ilihune, i na mea a oukou i makemake hou ai e hookauwa aku na lakou?
10 You observe days, months, seasons, and years.
Ke malama nei oukou i ua la, a me na mahina, i na manawa a me na makahiki.
11 I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.
Ua hopohopo wau ia oukou, o make hewa paha kuu hooluhi ana no oukou.
12 I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong,
E na hoahanau, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oukou, i like oukou me au, no ka mea, ua like hoi au mo oukou: aole no oukou i hana ino iki mai ia'u.
13 but you know that because of weakness in the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time.
Ua ike no oukou me ka palupalu o ke kino i hai aku ai au i ka euanelio ia oukou i kinohou.
14 That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn’t despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
Aole no oukou i hoowahawaha mai i ka ino o kuu kino, aole hoi oukou i hoopailua mai; aka, na hookipa mai no oukou ia'u me he anela la no ke Akua, me Kristo Iesu hoi.
15 What was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.
Heaha la hoi ko oukou pomaikai ana? No ka mea, ke hoike maka aku nei au no oukou, ina he mea hiki ia, ina ua poalo ae oukou i ko oukou mau maka a haawi mai ia'u.
16 So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
Ua lilo anei au i enemi no oukou, i kuu hai ana'ku i ka oiaio ia oukou?
17 They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate you, that you may seek them.
Ua hu mai ko lakou aloha ia oukou, aole nae ma ka pono: ke ake nei lakou e hookaawalo ia oukou, i hu mai ko oukou aloha ia lakou.
18 But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.
Aka, he mea pono no ke hu ae a mau mai ke aloha i ka mea maikai, aole i ka wa wale no e noho ai au me oukou.
19 My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you—
E kuu mau keiki liilii, ka poe a'u e haakohi nei e hoohanau hou aku, a loaa mai o Kristo iloko o oukou,
20 but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.
Ke ake nei au e ike ia oukou i neia manawa, a e hoololi ae i kuu leo; no ka mea, ke haohao nui nei au ia oukou.
21 Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don’t you listen to the law?
E hai mai oukou ia'u, e ka poe i makemake e noho malalo o ke kanawai, aole anei oukou i lohe i ke kanawai?
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant, and one by the free woman.
No ka mea, ua palapalaia, Elua a Aberahama keikikane; hookahi na ke kauwawahine, hookahi hoi na ka hakuwahine.
23 However, the son by the servant was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.
O ka mea na ke kauwawahine, ua hanau ia ma ko ke kino; aka, o ka mea na ka hakuwahine, ma ka olelo hoopomaikai mai oia.
24 These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.
O keia mau mea, he hoailona ia; o laua no na kauoha elua; o kekahi nae no ke kuahiwi no Sinai mai, e hanau ana i ua keiki kauwa, oia o Hagara.
25 For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.
No ka mea, o ua Hagara la oia ke kuahiwi o Sinai i Arabia; ua like hoi ia me Ierusalema i neia manawa, a e hooluhi ana oia me kana poe keiki.
26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Aka, o ka Ierusalema maluna ka hakuwahine, oia ka makuwahine o kakou a pau.
27 For it is written, “Rejoice, you barren who don’t bear. Break out and shout, you who don’t travail. For the desolate women have more children than her who has a husband.”
No ka mea, ua palapalaia, E olioli oe, e ka mea pa, i hanau ole i keiki; e poha aku me ka hea nui, e ka mea i hanau keiki ole; no ka mea, he nui na keiki a ka mea i haaleleia, he hapa ka ka mea kane.
28 Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
E na hoahanau, he poe keiki no hoi kakou ma ka olelo hoopomaikai mai e like me Isaaka.
29 But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
E like mamua, hoomaau aku la ka mea i hanau ma ke kino i ka mea i hanau ma ka Uhane, pela no hoi i neia manawa.
30 However, what does the Scripture say? “Throw out the servant and her son, for the son of the servant will not inherit with the son of the free woman.”
Aka, heaha ka ka palapala hemolele i i mai ai? E hookuke aku oe i ua kauwawahine la a me kana keiki; no ka mea, aole e hooili pu ia'ku ka waiwai i ke keiki a ke kauwawahine me ke keiki a ka hakuwahine.
31 So then, brothers, we are not children of a servant, but of the free woman.
Nolaila, e na hoahanau, aole he poe keiki kakou na ke kauwawahine, na ka hakuwahine no.
