The web site indicates that it is not the 1994 version.
On this page:
http://baibala.org/cgi-bin/bible?e=p-off-0bible--00-1-0true--00-4--Sec---0--1en-Zz-1---20-header-search-true---011-010-0-1-escapewin&a=p&p=frameset&p2=about&p3=edintro&toc=0&d=
it says:
"The American Bible Society supported the publishing and distribution of 
the Baibala Hemolele from the start. Its latest edition, 1994, will be 
made available here in text form, searchable by book, chapter, verse, or 
word."
Note the future tense "will be made available here"
This page also indicates that it might be good to obtain permission for 
distribution.

the right panel indicates that the text is "Original Hawaiian" and that 
Modern Hawaiian is not available.
