Luke 12 (HAW1868)

1I A manawa, ka akoakoa lehulehu loa ana mai o ka ahakanaka, a hehi kekahi maluna o kekahi, olelo mua mai la ia i kana mau haumana, I nui ko oukou malama ia oukou iho i ka mea hu a ka poe Parisaio; o ka hookamani no ia.In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

2No ka mea, aohe mea i uhiia e pau ole i ka weheia; aole hoi mea i hunaia e pau ole i ka ikeia.There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3O ka mea a oukou i olelo ai ma ka pouli, e loheia auanei ia ma ka malamalama, a o ka mea a oukou i olelo ai i na pepeiao, maloko o na keena mehameha, e haiia auanei ia maluna iho o na hale.What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.

4Ke olelo aku hoi au ia oukou, e kuu mau hoaaloha, Mai makau oukou i ka poe pepehi i ke kino, a mahope aku, aole o lakou mea e hiki ke hana.I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5Aka, ke hoike aku nei au ia oukou i ka oukou mea e makau ai; e makau aku oukou i ka mea nona ka mana e hoolei aku iloko o ka luaahi, mahope iho o kana pepehi ana. Oia, o ka'u olelo no ia ia oukou, e makau oukou ia ia.But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him!

6Aole anei i kuaiia na manu liilii elima i na asario elua? Aole hoi kekahi o lakou i hoopoinaia e ke Akua.Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7Ua pau no hoi i ka heluia na lauoho o ko oukou mau poo. Nolaila hoi, mai makau oukou; na oi loa aku ko oukou maikai mamua o ko na manu liilii.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8A ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, o ka mea e hooiaio ia'u imua i ke alo o kanaka, oia ka ke Keiki a ke kanaka e hooiaio ai imua i ke alo o ka poe anela o ko Akua.I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9Aka, o ka mea e hoole ia'u imua i kealo a na kanaka, oia ke hooleia imua i ke alo o ka poe anela o ke Akua.But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10O ka mea e olelo ku e i ke Keiki a ke kanaka, e hiki no ia i ke kalaia; aka, o ka mea e olelo hoino wale i ka Uhane Hemolele, aole loa ia e kalaia.And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

11A i ka wa e alakaiia'i oukou i na halehalawai, a i na kiaaina, a me na'lii, mai manao nui oukou i ka oukou mea o kamailio ai, a i ka oukou mea e olelo ai;When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12No ka mea, na ka Uhane Hemolele no e ao mai ia oukou, ia hora, i ka mea e pono ai oukou ke olelo aku.For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13Alaila olelo aku la kekahi o ka ahakanaka ia ia, E ke Kumu, e olelo ae oe i kuu hoahanau e mahele mai i ka waiwai no'u.Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14I mai la ia, E ke kanaka, nawai au i hoolilo i lunakanawai, a i mea mahele waiwai no oukou?But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15A olelo mai la oia ia lakou, E manao, a e malama ia oukou iho i ka puniwaiwai; no ka mea, aole no ka nui o ko ke kanaka waiwai kona ola ana.And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

16A olelo mai la oia i ka olelonane ia lakou, i mai la, O kekahi kanaka ua hoohua nui mai la kona aina;Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17A nalu iho la ia iloko ona, i iho la, Pehea la wau e hana'i? no ka mea, aole o'u wahi e hoahu ai i ka'u ai.So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18I iho la hoi oia, Penei au e hana'i; e wawahi au i ko'u mau halepapaa, a e kukulu hou i mahuahua'e; a malaila au e hoahu ai i ka'u ai, a me kuu waiwai a pau.Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods.

19A e olelo iho au i kuu uhane, E ka uhane, ua nui kou waiwai i hoahuia no na makahiki he nui wale; e noho nanea oe; e ai no, a e inu no me ka lealea.Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’

20Aka, olelo mai la ke Akua ia ia, E ke kanaka naaupo! i keia po, e kiiia'ku ai kou uhane; alaila no wai la ia mau mea au i hoomakaukau ai?But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’

21Pela hoi ka mea i hoolakolako waiwai nona iho, a i lako ole i ko ke Akua.This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22Alaila olelo mai la i kana mau haumana, No ia mea, ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, Mai manao nui ma ko oukou ola ana, i ka mea e ai ai oukou; aole hoi ma ke kino, i ka mea e aahu ai oukou.Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

23Ua oi aku ke ola mamua o ka ai, a o ke kino hoi mamua o ke kapa.For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24E hoomanao i na manu koraka; aole lakou lulu anoano, aole hoi hoahu ai, aole hoi o lakou hale waiwai, aole hoi hale papaa; na ke Akua hoi lakou i hanai: aole anei i oi nui aku oukou mamua o na manu?Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!

25Owai kekahi mea o oukou e hiki i kona manao nui ana ke hooloihi i kona kiekie i hookahi kubita?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26A i ole hoi e hiki ia oukou ke hana i ka mea uuku loa, no ke aha la e manao nui ai no na mea e ae?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27E hoomanao i na lilia i ko lakou ulu ana; aole lakou i hana, aole hoi i milo; ke olelo aku nei hoi au ia oukou, o Solomona i kona nani a pau, aole ia i kahiko like ia me kekahi o ia mau mea.Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

28A ina pela ke Akua i kahiko mai ai i ka nahelehele e waiho ana ma ke kula i keia la a i ka la apopo e hooloiia'i iloko o ka umu; aole anei ia e kahiko io mai ia oukou, e ka poe paulele kapekepeke?If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!

29Mai hoopapau oukou ma ka mea e ai ai oukou, a ma ka mea e inu ai oukou. Mai noho hoi a kanalua.And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30No ka mea, na na lahuikanaka o keia ao i hoopapau ma ia mau mea a pau; a he maopopo no i ko oukou Makua, o na mea ia e pono ai oukou.For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31Aka, e hoopapau nui oukou ma ke aupuni o ke Akua; alaila o ua mea la kekahi e haawiia no ia oukou.But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32Mai makau oukou, e ka ohana uuku; no ka mea, o ka makemake o ko oukou Makua e haawi i ke aupuni ia oukou.Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33E kuai lilo aku i ko oukou waiwai, a e haawi manawalea aku. E hoolakolako ia oukou iho i mau aa moni nahaehae ole, i waiwai pau ole ma ka lani, kahi hiki ole ai i ka aihue, kahi e ino ole ai i ka mu.Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

34No ka mea, ma kahi e waiho ai ko oukou waiwai, malaila pu no hoi ko oukou naau.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35E kakooia ko oukou mau puhaka, i aa hoi ko oukou mau kukui;Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36A e hoolike hoi oukou me ka poe kanaka e kali ana i ko lakou naku, ke hoi mai ia mai ka ahaaina mare mai, e hiki ia lakou ke wehe koke ia ia i kona hiki ana mai a kikeke.Then you will be like servants waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.

37Pomaikai ka poe kauwa a ka haku e ike ai e kiai ana i kona wa e hiki mai ai. He oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, e kakoo no oia ia ia iho, a e hoonoho oia ia lakou e ai; a e hele mai ia e lawelawe na lakou.Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them.

38A i hiki mai ia i ka lua paha o ka wati, a i hiki mai ia i ke kolu paha o ka wati, a ike mai ia lakou pela na pomaikai ua poe kauwa la.Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39I ike hoi oukou i keia, ina i ike ka mea hale i ka hore e hiki mai ai ka aihue, ina ua kiai no ia, aole ia e kuu aku i kona hale e wawahiia mai.But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.

40Nolaila, e noho makaukau hoi oukou, no ka mea, e hiki mai ana ke Keiki a ke kanaka, i ka hora e manao ole ia e oukou.You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41Alaila ninau aku la o Petero ia ia, E ka Haku, no makou anei kau e olelo nei i keia olelonane? no na mea a pau anei?“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42A olelo mai la ka Haku, Owai la hoi ka puuku malama pono me ke akamai e hooliloia'e e kona Haku i luna no kona poe ohua, e haawi ma ka manawa pono, i kauwahi ai na lakou?And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time?

43Pomaikai na kauwa la ke ike mai kona haku ia ia e hana ana pela i kona hiki ana mai.Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44Ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, E hoolilo oia ia ia i mea nana e malama i kana mau mea a pau.Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45Aka, i olelo kela kauwa iloko o kona naau, Ua hoopanee kuu haku i kona hoi ana mai; a i hoomaka hoi e pepehi i na kauwa kane a me na kauwa wahine, e ai ana hoi, a e inu ana a ona;But suppose that servant says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and he begins to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk.

46E hoi mai no ka haku o ua kauwa la, i ka la e kiai ole ai ia, a i ka hora e manao ole ai ia, a e t hahau ia ia a moku, a e haawi i kona uku me ka poe manaoio ole.The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

47A o ke kauwa i ike i ka makemake o kona haku, aole hoi i hoomakaukau, aole hoi i hana mamuli o kona makemake, oia ke hahau nui ia.That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48A o ka mea i ike ole, a hana hoi i na mea e pono ai ka hahau ana, oia ke hahau uuku ia. O ka mea ua haawiia ia ia ka mea nui, ia ia hoi e kii hou ia mai ai ka mea nui; a i nui ka mea i waihoia i ke kanaka, he nui no hoi ka mea e noi hou ia mai ia ia.But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.

49Ua hele mai nei au e hoolei i ke ahi ma ka honua, heaha hoi ko'u makemake e, ina i hoaia.I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50He bapetizo ko'u e hapetizoia'i; a ua pilikia hoi au a pau ia!But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51Ke manao nei anei oukou ua hele mai nei au e haawi i ke kuikahi ma ka honua! Ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, Aole; aka i ke ku e.Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52No ka mea ma neia hope aku, e ku e ana na mea elima iloko o ka hale hookahi, o ke kokookolu i ke kokoolua, a o ke kokoolua i ke kokookolu.From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53E ku e mai ka makuakane i ke keikikane, a o ke keikikane i ka makuakane; a o ka makuwahine i ke kaikamahine, a o ke kaikamahine i ka makuwahine; a o ka makuahonoaiwahine i kana hunonawahine, a o ka hunonawahine i kona makuahonoai wahine.They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

54A olelo mai la ia i ka ahakanaka, A ike oukou i kekahi ao e hoea mai ana mai ke komohana mai, olelo oukou, E ua auanei; a pela io no.Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.

55A i ka wa e pa mai ai ka makani kukuluhema, olelo oukou, E wela auanei; a pela io no.And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56E ka poe hookamani! E hiki no ia oukou ke hoomaopopo i na mea i ikea ma ka lani a ma ka honua; pehea la i maopopo ole ai keia manawa ia oukou?You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?

57No ke aha la hoi i hoomaopopo ole ai oukou nei i ka pono?And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58A i kou hele pn ana i ke alii me kou mea i lawehala ai, e hooikaika oe ma ke alanui i weheia'i oe e ia, o kai kela ia oe i ka lunakanawai, a na ka lunakanawai oe e haawi i ka ilamuku, a na ka ilamuku hoi oe e hahao iloko o ka halepaahao.Make every effort to reconcile with your adversary while you are on your way to the magistrate. Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison.

59Ke olelo aku nei au ia oe, aole loa oe e puka e mai, aia pau loa ia mea ia oe i ka ukuia.I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
