< Deuteronomy 7 >
1 When the LORD your God brings you into the land that you are entering to possess, and He drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you—
A IA kai aku o Iehova kou Akua ia oe i ka aina au e hele aku nei e noho ilaila, a hookuke aku ia i na lahuikanaka, he nui mamua ou, i ka Heta, i ka Giregasa, me ka Amora, me ka Kanaana, me ka Periza, me ka Heva, a me ka Iebusa, i ehiku lahuikanaka, ua oi aku ko lakou nui a me ko lakou ikaika i kou;
2 and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you to defeat them, then you must devote them to complete destruction. Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy.
A hoolilo mai o Iehova kou Akua ia lakou imua ou; alaila e pepehi aku oe ia lakou, a pau lakou i ka make; mai hookuikahi oe me lakou; a mai aloha aku ia lakou:
3 Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons,
Mai hoopalau hoi me lakou; mai haawi i kau kaikamahine na kana keikikane; mai lawe oe i kana kaikamahine na kau keikikane.
4 because they will turn your sons away from following Me to serve other gods. Then the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and He will swiftly destroy you.
No ka mea, e hoohuli ae lakou i kau keiki, i ole ia e hahai mai ia'u, i malama aku lakou i na akua e: pela e hoaaia mai ai ka inaina o Iehova ia oukou, a e luku koke mai ia oe.
5 Instead, this is what you are to do to them: tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their idols in the fire.
Penei oukou hana aku ai ia lakou; e hoohiolo oukou i ko lakou mau kuahu, e wawahi iho i ko lakou poe kii, e kua ilalo i ko lakou mau kii o Asetarota, a e puhi aku i ko lakou mau kiikalaiia i ke ahi.
6 For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for His prized possession out of all peoples on the face of the earth.
No ka mea, he poe kanaka laa oukou no Iehova kou Akua: na Iehova na kou Akua i wae mai ia oukou, i poe kanaka ponoi nona, mamua o na kanaka a pau maluna o ka honua.
7 The LORD did not set His affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than the other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.
Aole o Iehova i aloha mai ia oukou, a i wae mai ia oukou, no ka oi o ko oukou nui i ko na kanaka e ae a pau; no ka mea, he poe uuku oukou i na kanaka a pau:
8 But because the LORD loved you and kept the oath He swore to your fathers, He brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Aka, no ke aloha o Iehova ia oukou, a no kona malama i ka hoohiki ana i hoohiki ai i ko oukou poe kupuna; nolaila i kai mai nei o Iehova ia oukou me ka lima ikaika, a e hoopakele ia oukou mai ka hale hooluhi mai, mailoko mai o ka lima o Parao, ke alii o Aigupita.
9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion for a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments.
E ike hoi oe, o Iehova kou Akua, oia no ke Akua, he Akua oiaio, e malama ana i ka berita, a i ke aloha no ka poe i aloha aku ia ia, a malama hoi i kana mau kauoha, a hiki i ke tausani o na hanauna:
10 But those who hate Him He repays to their faces with destruction; He will not hesitate to repay to his face the one who hates Him.
A e hoopai koke ana hoi i ka poe inaina ia ia, e luku ia lakou, aole ia e lohi i ka mea inaina ia ia, e hoopai koke ana no ia ia.
11 So keep the commandments and statutes and ordinances that I am giving you to follow this day.
Nolaila, e malama oe i na kauoha a me na kanawai, a me na olelo kupaa a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la, a e hana hoi ia mea.
12 If you listen to these ordinances and keep them carefully, then the LORD your God will keep His covenant and the loving devotion that He swore to your fathers.
No ia hoi, ina e hoolohe oukou i keia mau olelo kupaa, a e malama, a e hana hoi ia mau mea, alaila e malama mai o Iehova kou Akua i ka berita a me ke aloha nou, ana i hoohiki ai i kou poe kupuna.
13 He will love you and bless you and multiply you. He will bless the fruit of your womb and the produce of your land—your grain, new wine, and oil, the young of your herds and the lambs of your flocks—in the land that He swore to your fathers to give you.
A e aloha mai ia ia oe a e hoopomaikai mai ia oe, a e hoomahuahua mai ia oe: e hoopomaikai mai hoi ia i ka hua o kou opu, a me ka hua o kou aina, i kau palaoa a me kou waina, a me kou aila, a me ka hanau ana o kou poe bipi, a me kau poe hipa, ma ka aina ana i hoohiki ai i kou mau kupuna e haawi mai ia oe.
14 You will be blessed above all peoples; among you there will be no barren man or woman or livestock.
E oi aku kou hoopomaikaiia mamua o ko ua kanaka a pau: aole he kane keiki ole, aole he wahine pa iwaena o oukou, aole hoi iwaena o na holoholona a oukou.
15 And the LORD will remove from you all sickness. He will not lay upon you any of the terrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but He will inflict them on all who hate you.
A e lawe aku o Iehova i na mai a pau mai ou aku nei, aole hoi ia e kau i kekahi mai ahulau o Aigupita maluna iho ou, au i ike ai; aka, e kau aku kela ia mea maluna iho o ka poe a pau e inaina mai ia oe.
16 You must destroy all the peoples the LORD your God will deliver to you. Do not look on them with pity. Do not worship their gods, for that will be a snare to you.
A e hoopau aku oe i na kanaka a pau a Iehova kou Akua e hoolilo mai nou; mai minamina aku kou maka ia lakou, mai malama hoi oe i ko lakou mau akua; no ka mea, e lilo ia i mea hihia nou.
17 You may say in your heart, “These nations are greater than we are; how can we drive them out?”
Ina paha e i iho oe maloko o kou naau, Ua oi aku ka nui o keia mau lahuikanaka i ko'u; pehea la e hiki ia'u ke kipaku aku ia lakou?
18 But do not be afraid of them. Be sure to remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and all Egypt:
Mai makau oe ia lakou; e hoomanao pono oe i ka mea a Iehova kou Akua i hana'i ia Parao, a me ko Aigupita a pau:
19 the great trials that you saw, the signs and wonders, and the mighty hand and outstretched arm by which the LORD your God brought you out. The LORD your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear.
I na hoao nui a kou maka i ike ai, a me na hoailona, a me na mea kupanaha, a me ka lima ikaika, a me ka lima kakauha a Iehova kou Akua i lawe mai nei ia oe; pela no o Iehova kou Akua e hana aku ai i na kanaka a pau au e makau nei.
20 Moreover, the LORD your God will send the hornet against them until even the survivors hiding from you have perished.
A e hoouna aku hoi o Iehova kou Akua i ka nalohopeeha iwaena o lakou, a pau lakou i ka lukuia, ka poe i waihoia, a me ka poe i pee mai ou aku la.
21 Do not be terrified by them, for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God.
Mai makau oe ia lakou; no ka mea, iwaena ou o Iehova kou Akua, he Akua nui, hooweliweli.
22 The LORD your God will drive out these nations before you little by little. You will not be enabled to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals would multiply around you.
A e kipaku liilii aku o Iehova kou Akua i kela mau luhuikanaka mamua ou: mai luku koke aku ia lakou a pau, o nui mai auanei na holoholona e alo mai ia oe.
23 But the LORD your God will give them over to you and throw them into great confusion, until they are destroyed.
A o Iehova kou Akua e hoolilo mai ia lakou imua ou, a e luku aku ia lakou me ka luku nui, a pau lakou i ka make.
24 He will hand their kings over to you, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand against you; you will annihilate them.
A e hoolilo mai ia i ko lakou mau alii iloko o kou lima, a e hokai oe i ko lakou inoa malalo iho o ka lani; aole e hiki i kekahi kanaka ke ku imua ou, a pau lakou i ka lukuia e oe.
25 You must burn up the images of their gods; do not covet the silver and gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, or you will be ensnared by it; for it is detestable to the LORD your God.
O na kii o ko lakou mau akua e puhi oukou i ke ahi; mai kuko aku oe i ke kala a i ke gula maluna o ia mea, aole hoi e lawe ia mea nau, o hihia auanei oe ilaila; no ka mea, he mea hoowahawahaia e Iehova kou Akua.
26 And you must not bring any detestable thing into your house, or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction. You are to utterly detest and abhor it, because it is set apart for destruction.
Aole hoi e lawe oe maloko o kou hale i ka mea hoowahawahaia, o lilo auanei oe i mea laa e like me ia; e hoowahawaha loa aku oe ia mea, a e hoopailua loa aku oe ia mea; no ka mea, he mea laa ia.
