Joshua 23
1 Now a long time passed, after the Lord had given peace to Israel by subjecting all the surrounding nations. And Joshua was now old and very advanced in age.
MAHOPE loa mai o ka hoomaha ana o Iehova i ka Iseraela, mai ko lakou mau enemi a pau, i puni ia lakou, ua elemakule loa o Iosua, ua nui no hoi kona mau la.
2 Joshua called all of Israel, and those greater by birth, and the leaders and rulers and teachers, and he said to them: “I am elderly and advanced in age.
Houluulu ae la o Iosua i ka Iseraela a pau, i ko lakou mau lunakahiko a me ko lakou mau alii, a me ko lakou mau lunakanawai, a me ka poe luna o lakou, a olelo aku la oia ia lakou, Ua elemakule au, a ua nui no hoi ko'u mau la.
3 And you yourselves discern all that the Lord your God has done with all the surrounding nations, in what manner he himself has fought for you.
A o oukou hoi, ua ike oukou i na mea a pau i hana mai ai o Iehova, ko oukou Akua i keia mau lahuikanaka a pau imua o oukou; no ka mea, o Iehova, ko oukou Akua ua kaua aku oia no oukou.
4 And now, since he has divided to you by lot all the land, from the eastern part of the Jordan even to the great sea, and yet many nations still remain,
Aia hoi, ua hailona au no oukou i ko na lahuikanaka i koe, a me na lahuikanaka a pau a'u i anai aku ai mai Ioredane a hiki i ka moana nui, ma ke komohana o ka la, i mea hooili no ko oukou ohana.
5 the Lord your God will destroy them, and he will take them away before your face, and you shall possess the land, just as he has promised you.
Na Iehova, na ko oukou Akua, e kipaku ia lakou, mai ko oukou alo aku, a e hoonalowale ia lakou imua o oukou; a e hooili mai i ko lakou aina no oukou, e like me ka olelo a Iehova, ko oukou Akua i olelo mai ai ia oukou.
6 Even so, be strengthened and be careful that you observe all the things that have been written in the book of the law of Moses, and that you do not turn aside from them, neither to the right, nor to the left.
E hooikaika oukou e malama a e hana i na mea a pau i kakauia iloko o ka buke o ko kanawai o Mose. Mai huli oukou mai ia mea aku ma ka lima akau, aole hoi ma ka lima hema.
7 Otherwise, after you have entered to the Gentiles, who will be among you in the future, you might swear by the name of their gods, and serve them, and adore them.
Mai hele pu oukou me keia mau lahuikanaka, i ka poe i koe, mawaena o oukou; mai hoohiki hoi i ka inoa o ko lakou mau akua, aole hoi e hoohiki ma o lakou la: mai malama ia lakou, aole hoi e kulou oukou ia lakou:
8 Instead, cling to the Lord your God, just as you have done even to this day.
Aka, e hoopili aku oukou ia Iehova, i ko oukou Akua, e like me ka oukou hana ana a hiki i keia la.
9 And then the Lord God will take away, in your sight, nations that are great and very robust, and no one will be able to withstand you.
No ka mea, ua kipaku o Iehova mai ko oukou alo aku, i na lahuikanaka nui, a ikaika: a o oukou hoi, aole kanaka i ku imua o ko oukou alo a hiki wale mai i keia la.
10 One of you shall pursue a thousand men of the enemies. For the Lord your God himself will fight on your behalf, just as he promised.
Hookahi kanaka o oukou e alualu aku i ke tausani hookahi; no ka mea, o Iehova, ko oukou Akua, oia no ka mea nana e kaua aku no oukou, e like me kana elele mua ana mai ia oukou.
11 Even so, be very diligent and careful in this: that you love the Lord your God.
E malama pono oukou ia oukou iho, e aloha aku ai ia Iehova i ko oukou Akua.
12 But if you choose to cling to the errors of these nations that live among you, and to mix with them by marriage, and to join with them by friendship,
No ka mea, ina e hoi hope iki oukou, a e hoopili i na lahuikanaka i koe e noho ana mawaena o oukou, a e mare pu me lakou, a hele iloko io lakou la, a hoi lakou iloko io oukou nei;
13 even now, know this: that the Lord your God will not wipe them away before your face. Instead, they shall be a pit and a snare to you, and a stumbling block at your side, and stakes in your eyes, until he takes you away and scatters you from this excellent land, which he has delivered to you.
E ike pono oukou, aole e kipaku hou aku o Iehova, ko oukou Akua i keia mau lahuikanaka, mai ko oukou alo aku; aka, e lilo lakou i mau pahele no oukou, a he mea upiki, a he mea hahau ma ko oukou mau aoao, a i mea ooi ma ko oukou mau maka, a make wale oukou, mai keia aina maikai aku a Iehova ko oukou Akua i haawi mai ai no oukou.
14 Lo, today I am entering the way of the entire earth, and you shall know with all your mind that, out of all the words that the Lord has promised to fulfill for you, not one will pass by unfulfilled.
Aia hoi, i keia la, e hele ana au ma ka aoao o ko ka honua a pau; a ua ike hoi oukou ma ko oukou naau a pau, a me ko oukou uhane a pau, aole i haule ka mea hookahi o na olelo maikai a pau a Iehova ko oukou Akua i olelo mai ai ia oukou, aka, ua ko io ia oukou na mea a pau, aole i haule ka mea hookahi.
15 Therefore, just as he has fulfilled in deed what he has promised, and all prosperous things have arrived, so will he bring upon you whatever evils were threatened, until he takes you away and scatters you from this excellent land, which he has delivered to you,
A e like me ka hiki ana mai ia oukou na mea maikai a pau a Iehova ko oukou Akua i olelo mai ai ia oukou; pela no e hoouka mai ai o Iehova i na mea ino a pau maluna o oukou, a hiki i kona hoopau ana mai ia oukou, mai keia aina maikai aku, a Iehova ko oukou Akua i haawi mai ai no oukou.
16 when you will have transgressed the covenant of the Lord your God, which he has formed with you, and will have served strange gods, and will have adored them. And then the fury of the Lord will rise up quickly and speedily against you, and you will be taken away from this excellent land, which he has delivered to you.”
Aia haihai oukou i ka berita a Iehova ko oukou Akua, i ka mea ana i kauoha mai ai ia oukou, a e hele oukou, a e malama aku i na 'kua e, a e kulou hoi ia lakou; alaila e a mai no ka huhu o Iehova ia oukou, a e make koke auanei, mai ka aina maikai aku, ana i haawi mai ai no oukou.
