< Deuteronomy 26 >

1 Now when you have come into the land which the Lord is giving you for your heritage, and you have made it yours and are living in it;
A IA hiki aku oe ma ka aina a Iehova kou Akua e haawi mai ai nou, a lilo ia nou, a noho iho oe malaila;
2 You are to take a part of the first-fruits of the earth, which you get from the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and put it in a basket, and go to the place marked out by the Lord your God, as the resting-place of his name.
E kii oe i kekahi o na hua mua a pau o ka honua, a o kau ia e lawe no ka aina a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai nou, a e waiho iloko o ka hinai, a e hele aku oe ma kahi a Iehova kou Akua i wae ai e hoopaa i kona inoa malaila.
3 And you are to come to him who is priest at that time, and say to him, I give witness today before the Lord your God, that I have come into the land which the Lord made an oath to our fathers to give us.
A e hele oe i ke kahuna e noho ana ia mau la, a e i aku ia ia, Ke hooia aku nei au ia Iehova kou Akua i keia la, no ka mea, ua hiki mai nei au ma ka aina a Iehova i hoohiki ai i ko kakou mau kupana e haawi mai no kakou.
4 Then the priest will take the basket from your hand and put it down in front of the altar of the Lord your God.
A e lawe ke kahuna i ka hinai mai kou lima ae, a e waiho ia imua o ke kuahu o Iehova kou Akua.
5 And these are the words which you will say before the Lord your God: My father was a wandering Aramaean, and he went down with a small number of people into Egypt; there he became a great and strong nation:
A e hai aku oe me ka olelo aku imua o Iehova kou Akua, He kanaka kuewa kou makuakane no Suria, a iho no ia i Aigupita, a noho mahihini malaila, he poe uuku, a lilo ia malaila i lahuikanaka nui, ikaika, a lehulehu.
6 And the Egyptians were cruel to us, crushing us under a hard yoke:
A hana ino mai ko Aigupita ia kakou, a hooluhi mai ia kakou, a haawi mai ia kakou i na hana kaumaha loa.
7 And our cry went up to the Lord, the God of our fathers, and the Lord's ear was open to the voice of our cry, and his eyes took note of our grief and the crushing weight of our work:
A kahea aku kakou ia Iehova ke Akua o ko kakou mau kupuna, hoolohe mai no o Iehova i ko kakou leo, a nana mai ia i ko kakou luhi, a me ka kakou hana, a me ko kakou kaumaha.
8 And the Lord took us out of Egypt with a strong hand and a stretched-out arm, with works of power and signs and wonders:
A lawe mai o Iehova ia kakou mai Aigupita mai me ka lima ikaika, a me ka lima kakauha, a me ka mea weliweli nui, a me na hoailona, a me na mea kupanaha.
9 And he has been our guide to this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
A ua lawe mai hoi oia ia kakou ma keia wahi, a ua haawi ia kakou i keia aina, he aina e kahe ana o ka waiu a me ka meli.
10 So now, I have come here with the first of the fruits of the earth which you, O Lord, have given me. Then you will put it down before the Lord your God and give him worship:
Eia hoi, ua lawe mai nei au, e Iehova, i ka hua mua o ka aina au i haawi mai ai ia'u. A e waiho oe ia mea imua o Iehova kou Akua, a e hoomana aku imua o Iehova kou Akua.
11 And you will have joy in every good thing which the Lord your God has given to you and to your family; and the Levite, and the man from a strange land who is with you, will take part in your joy.
A e olioli oe i na mea maikai a pau a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai ia oe, a me ko ka hale ou, o oe, a me ka Levi, a me ka malihini iwaena ou.
12 When you have taken out a tenth from the tenth of all your produce in the third year, which is the year when this has to be done, give it to the Levite, and the man from a strange land, and the child without a father, and the widow, so that they may have food in your towns and be full;
Aia hoopau oe i ka hookupu ana i ka hapaumi a pau o kau mea i loaa i ke kolu o ka makahiki, oia ka makahiki hookupu i ka hapaumi; a haawi aku i ka Levi a i ka malihini, a i ka mea makua ole, a me ka wahinekanemake, i ai iho ai lakou ma kou mau ipuka a maona;
13 And say before the Lord your God, I have taken all the holy things out of my house and have given them to the Levite, and the man from a strange land, and him who has no father, and the widow, as you have given me orders: I have kept in mind all your orders, in nothing have I gone against them:
Alaila e olelo aku oe imua o Iehova kou Akua, Ua lawe mai nei au i ka mea i hoolaaia mai ko'u hale mai, a ua haawi aku hoi i ka Levi, a i ka malihini, a i ka mea makua ole, a i ka wahinekanemake, e like me kau mau kauoha a pau au i kanoha mai ai ia'u; aole au i hoohala i kau mau kauoha, aole hoi au i hoopoina;
14 No part of these things has been used for food in a time of weeping, or put away when I was unclean, or given for the dead: I have given ear to the voice of the Lord my God, and have done all you have given me orders to do.
Aole au i ai i kekahi o ia mea i kuu makena ana, aole au i lawe i kekahi o ia mea no ka mea haumia, aole hoi au i haawi i kekahi o ia mea no ka mea i make; ua hoolohe no au i ka leo o Iehova ko'u Akua, a ua hana au e like me na mea a pau au i kauoha mai ai ia'u.
15 So, looking down from your holy place in heaven, send your blessing on your people Israel and on the land which you have given us, as you said in your oath to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.
E nana mai oe mai kou wahi hoano, mai ka lani mai, a e hoomaikai mai i kou poe kanaka, i ka Iseraela, a me ka aina au i haawi mai ai no makou, e like me au i hoohiki ai i ko makou mau kupuna, he aina e kahe ana o ka waiu a me ka meli.
16 Today the Lord your God gives you orders to keep all these laws and decisions: so then keep and do them with all your heart and all your soul.
I keia la, ua kauoha mai o Iehova kou Akua ia oe e hana ma keia mau kanawai, a me ua olelo kupaa; e malama hoi oe a e hana ma ia mau mea me kou naau a pau, a me kou uhane a pau.
17 Today you have given witness that the Lord is your God, and that you will go in his ways and keep his laws and his orders and his decisions and give ear to his voice:
I keia la ua hooia aku oe ia Iehova, i Akua nou, a e hele ma kona mau aoao, a e malama i kona mau kanawai, a i kana mau kauoha, a me kana mau olelo kupaa, a e hoolohe i kona leo.
18 And the Lord has made it clear this day that you are a special people to him, as he gave you his word; and that you are to keep all his orders;
A ua hooia mai o Iehova ia oe i keia la, he poe kanaka ponoi nona, e like me kana i olelo mai ai ia oe, i malama ai oe i kana mau kauoha a pau:
19 And that he will make you high over all the nations he has made, in praise, in name, and in honour, and that you are to be a holy people to the Lord your God as he has said.
A e hookiekie mai oia ia oe maluna o na lahuikanaka a pau ana i hana'i, ma ka hoolea ana, a ma ka inoa, a ma ka hoomaikai; a e lilo oe i poe kanaka hemolele no Iehova, e like me kana i olelo mai ai.
