Deuteronomy 8
1 You must carefully follow every commandment I am giving you today, so that you may live and multiply, and enter and possess the land that the LORD swore to give your fathers.
O NA kauoha a pau a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la, o ka oukou ia e hoomanao ai e hana, i ola oukou, i mahuahua ae, i komo aku oukou, a noho ma ka aina a Iehova i hoohiki ai i ko oukou mau kupuna.
2 Remember that these forty years the LORD your God led you all the way in the wilderness, so that He might humble you and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep His commandments.
E hoomanao hoi oe i ke ala a pau a Iehova kou Akua i kai mai ai ia oe ma ka waonahele i keia mau makahiki he kanaha, e hoohaahaa iho ia oe, e hoao hoi ia oe, e ike hoi ia i ka mea maloko o kou naau, i malama paha oe, i malama ole paha i kana mau kauoha.
3 He humbled you, and in your hunger He gave you manna to eat, which neither you nor your fathers had known, so that you might understand that man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.
Ua hoohaahaa ia ia oe, ua haawi mai oia ia oe i ka pololi, a ua hanai mai ia oe i ka mane au i ike ole ai, aole hoi i ike kou mau kupuna; i hoike mai ia ia oe, aole e ola ke kanaka ma ka berena wale no; aka, ke ola nei ke kanaka i na huaolelo a pau mailoko mai o ka waha o Iehova.
4 Your clothing did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.
Aole i weluwelu kou aahu maluna ou, aole hoi i pehu kou wawae i neia mau makahiki he kanaha.
5 So know in your heart that just as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.
E hoomanao hoi oe iloko o kou naau, e like me ke kanaka e hooehaeha ana i kana keiki, pela hoi o Iehova e hooehaeha mai ai ia oe.
6 Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, walking in His ways and fearing Him.
No ia hoi, e malama oe i na kauoha a Iehova a kou Akua, e hele oe ma kona mau aoao, a e makau ia ia.
7 For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks and fountains and springs that flow through the valleys and hills;
No ka mea, ke alakai aku nei o Iehova kou Akua ia oe i ka aina maikai he aina wai e kahe ana ma kahawai, o na punawai, o na waipuna e piipii mai ana, mailoko mai o na awawa a me na puu:
8 a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;
He aina mea palaoa, a me ka bale, a me na kumu waina, a me na laau fiku, a me na pomegerane, he aina laau oliva mea aila, a me ka meli:
9 a land where you will eat food without scarcity, where you will lack nothing; a land whose rocks are iron and whose hills are ready to be mined for copper.
He aina kahi au e ai ai i ka berena me ka wi ole, aole oe e nele i kekahi mea malaila; he aina mea pohaku hao, a ma na puu ona e eli iho ai oe i ke keleawe.
10 When you eat and are satisfied, you are to bless the LORD your God for the good land that He has given you.
Aia ai iho oe a maona, alaila e hoomaikai aku oe ia Iehova kou Akua, no ka aina maikai ana i haawi mai ai ia oe.
11 Be careful not to forget the LORD your God by failing to keep His commandments and ordinances and statutes, which I am giving you this day.
E ao, o hoopoina oe ia Iehova kou Akua, ma ka malama ole i kana mau kauoha, i kana mau olelo kupaa, a me kona mau kanawai, a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la.
12 Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses in which to dwell,
Malia paha, a ai iho oe a maona, a kukulu oe i na hale maikai a noho iho iloko;
13 and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all that you have is multiplied,
A hoomahuahuaia'e kou poe bipi a me kau poe hipa, a mahuahua hoi kau kala a me kau gula, a ua nui hoi kau mau mea a pau;
14 then your heart will become proud, and you will forget the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
Alaila e hookiekieia'e kou naau iluna, a hoopoina oe ia Iehova kou Akua, nana oe i lawe mai nei mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, mailoko mai hoi o ka liale hooluhi;
15 He led you through the vast and terrifying wilderness with its venomous snakes and scorpions, a thirsty and waterless land. He brought you water from the rock of flint.
Nana oe i alakai mai mawaena o kela waonahele nui weliweli; kahi o na nahesa wela, a me na moohueloawa, he maloo, he wahi wai ole, nana i hookahe mai ka wai nou mailoko mai o ka pohaku paa;
16 He fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers had not known, in order to humble you and test you, so that in the end He might cause you to prosper.
Nana no hoi oe i hanai me ka mane ma ka waonahele, ka mea a ko oukou mau kupuna i ike ole ai, i hoohaahaa mai ai ia ia oe, a i hoao mai ai hoi ia ia oe, i mea e pomaikai ai oe i kou wa mahope;
17 You might say in your heart, “The power and strength of my hands have made this wealth for me.”
O i iho oe ma kou naau, Na ko'u mana, a me ka ikaika o kuu lima, i loaa'i ia'u keia waiwai.
18 But remember that it is the LORD your God who gives you the power to gain wealth, in order to confirm His covenant that He swore to your fathers even to this day.
E hoomanao oe ia Iehova i kou Akua: no ka mea, oia ke haawi mai ia oe i ka pono e loaa'i ka waiwai, i hookupaa oia i kana berita ana i hoohiki ai i ou mau kupuna, e like me ia i keia la.
19 If you ever forget the LORD your God and go after other gods to worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely perish.
A ina oe e hoopoina iki ia Iehova i kou Akua, a e hele mamuli o na akua e, e malama, a e hoomana aku ia lakou, ke hoike aku nei au ia oukou i keia la, he oiaio, e make oukou.
20 Like the nations that the LORD has destroyed before you, so you will perish if you do not obey the LORD your God.
E like me na lahuikanaka a Iehova e luku aku ana imua o ko oukou maka, pela oukou e make ai; no ka mea, aole oukou i hoolohe i ka leo o Iehova ko oukou Akua.
