2 Corinthians 12
1 It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast, but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
A OLE paha o'u pono ke kaena aku: aka, e hiki nuanei au ma na hihio a me na hoike ana mai a ka Haku.
2 I know a man in Messiah who was caught up into the third heaven fourteen years ago—whether in the body, I don’t know, or whether out of the body, I don’t know; God knows.
I na makahiki mamna, he umikumamaha, ua ike no au i kekahi kanaka no Kristo, iloko o ke kino paha, aole au i ike, iwaho e ke kino paha, aole au i ike, o ke Akua ke ike; ua laweia'ku la na mea la iluna i ke kolu'o ka lani.
3 I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don’t know; God knows),
O ua kanaka la ka'u i ike, iloko o ke kino paha, iwaho e ke kine paha, aole au i ike, o ke Akua ke ike:
4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
Ua laweia'ku oia iluna I paradaiso, a lohe ae ia ia i na huaolelo hiki ole ke pane ae, aole hoi e pono ke ekemuiaku e ke kanaka.
5 On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
No ua mea la ka'u e kaena aku ai: aole no'u iho ka'u o kaena ai, aka, no ko'u mau mea palupalu.
6 For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.
Ina paha i ake au e kaena aku, aole o'u naaupo; no ka mea, e hai aku ana au i ka oiaio: aka, ke oki nei no au, o manao mai paha kekahi ia'u he kiekie maluna o kana i ike mai ai ia'u, a me kana i iohe mai ai ia'u.
7 By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.
O hookiekie paha wau no ka nui o na mea i hoikeia mai, ua haawiia mai ia'u he mea oioi ma kuu io, he elele na Satana e kui mai ai ia'u, o hookiekie auanei au.
8 Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
No ia mea, ekolu au noi ana aku i ka Haku, i haalele mai ia mea ia'u.
9 He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Messiah may rest on me.
I mai la kela ia'u, Ua lawa kuu lokomaikai nou: no ka mea, ma ka nawaliwali ka hoomaopopo ana o ko'u mana. No ia hoi, e kaena aku au me ka oluolu i kuu nawaliwali, i kau mai ai ka mana o Kristo maluna iho o'u.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Messiah’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.
Nolaila, he oluolu ko'u i ka nawaliwali, a me ka hoinoia, a me ka poino, a me ka hoomaauia, a me ka pilikia no Kristo: no ka mea, i kuu nawaliwali ana, alaila ua ikaika au.
11 I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the very best emissaries, though I am nothing.
Ua lilo au i naaupo ma ke kaena ana; na oukou au i koi mai: no ka mea, he pono ko'u e hoomaikaiia mai e oukou; aole au i emi iki mahope o na lunaolelo pookela, he mea ole no nae au.
12 Truly the signs of an emissary were worked amongst you in all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty works.
He oiaio, na hanaia na oihana lunaolelo iwaena o oukou me ka hoomanawanui, me na hoailona, me na mea kupanaha a me na hana mana.
13 For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the assemblies, unless it is that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
Mahea ko oukou wnhi emi mahope o na ekalesia e ae, ke waiho ko oukou kaumaha ole ia'u? E kala mai oukou ia'u i keia mea pono ole.
14 Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Aia hoi, eia ke kolu o kuu makankau e hele aku io oukou la; aole au e hookaumaha ia oukou; no ka mea, o oukou ka'u e imi nei, aole ka oukou: aole e pono no na keiki ke hoahu aku na na makua, aka, o na makua na na keiki.
15 I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
A ua oluolu au ke lilo aku a e hooliloia hoi no ko oukou uhane; ina paha me ka mahuahua o ko'u aloha aka ia oukou, pela ka emi ana o ko'u alohaia mai.
16 Even so, I myself didn’t burden you. But you might say that being crafty, I caught you with deception.
A oia no pela, aole no oukou i kaumaha ia'u: aka, ua maalea au, nolaila ua puni oukou ia'u.
17 Did I take advantage of you by anyone of those whom I have sent to you?
Ua waiwai anei au ia oukou ma kekahi o ka poe a'u i hoouna aku ai io oukou la?
18 I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Didn’t we walk in the same spirit? Didn’t we walk in the same steps?
Noi aku la au ia Tito, a hoouna pu aku la au me ia i kekahi hoahanau: ua waiwai anei o Tito ia oukou? aole anei makou i hele ma ka manao hookahi, a ma ke kapuwai hookahi?
19 Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sight of God we speak in Messiah. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
Eia hoi, ke manao nei anei oukou e hoakaka makou ia makou iho ia oukou? E na mea aloha, ke olelo nei makou imua o ke Akua ma o Kristo la, no ka hookupaa aku ia oukou keia mau mea a pau.
20 For I am afraid that perhaps when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don’t desire, that perhaps there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, or riots,
No ka mea, ko makau nei au, a i kuu hiki aku, e ike aku paha auanei au ia oukou aohe like me kuu makemake, a e ikea mai hoi au e oukou aohe like me ko oukou makemake: malia paha o ikea auanei ka hakaka, ka ukiuki, ka inaina, ka hoopaapaa, ke aki, ka ohumu, ka hoohaha, a me ka haunaele.
21 that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness, sexual immorality, and lustfulness which they committed.
Anoai paha o hoohaahaa iho no hoi kuu Akua ia'u iwaena o oukou, i kuu hiki hou ana'ku; a kanikau iho au i na mea he nui i hana hewa e mamua, aole hoi i mihi i ka haumia, a me ka moekolohe, a me ke kuulala a lakou i hana'i.
