Deuteronomy 8
1 “All the commandments which I am entrusting to you this day, take care to observe them diligently, so that you may live and be multiplied, and so that, upon entering, you may possess the land, about which the Lord swore to 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 And you shall remember the entire journey along which the Lord your God led you, for forty years through the desert, to afflict you, and to test you, and to make known the things that were turning in your soul, 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 afflicted you with need, and he gave you Manna as your food, which neither you nor your fathers knew, so as to reveal to you that it is not by bread alone that man lives, but by every word that goes forth from the mouth of God.
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 garment, with which you were covered, has by no means decayed due to age, and your foot has not been worn down, even to this fortieth year,
Aole i weluwelu kou aahu maluna ou, aole hoi i pehu kou wawae i neia mau makahiki he kanaha.
5 so that you would recognize in your heart that, just as a man educates his son, so has the Lord your God educated 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 So may you keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and fear 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 will lead you into a good land: a land of brooks and waters and fountains, in which deep rivers burst forth from its plains and mountains,
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 crops, barley, and vineyards, in which fig and pomegranate and olive trees spring up, a land of 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 In that place, without any need, you shall eat your bread and enjoy an abundance of all things: where the stones are like iron, and where ore for brass is dug out of its mountains.
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 So then, when you have eaten and been satisfied, you should bless the Lord your God for the excellent land which he has given to 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 observant and cautious, lest at some time you may forget the Lord your God, and neglect his commandments, as well as the judgments and ceremonies, which I instruct to 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, after you have eaten and been satisfied, and have built beautiful houses and have lived in them,
Malia paha, a ai iho oe a maona, a kukulu oe i na hale maikai a noho iho iloko;
13 and have obtained herds of oxen, and flocks of sheep, and a plentitude of gold and silver and all things,
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 your heart might be lifted up, and you might not remember the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude,
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 and who was your leader in the great and terrible wilderness, in which there was the serpent with a burning breath, and the scorpion, and the snake of thirst, and no waters at all. He led streams out of the hardest rock,
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 and he nourished you in the wilderness with Manna, which your fathers had not known. And after he had afflicted and tested you, in the very end, he took pity on you.
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 Otherwise, you might say in your heart: ‘My own strength, and the power of my own hand, have brought forth all these things 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 the Lord your God, that he himself has provided you with strength, so that he may fulfill his covenant, about which he swore to your fathers, just as the present day reveals.
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 But if you forget the Lord your God, so that you follow foreign gods, and serve and adore them: behold, I now foretell to you that you shall utterly 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 Just like the nations, which the Lord destroyed upon your arrival, so shall you also perish, if you have been disobedient to the voice of 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.
