Deuteronomy 32
1 Heaven, listen as I speak; Earth, hear what I'm saying.
E HALIU i ka pepeiao, e na lani, na'u e na lani, na'u e oleo aku; E hoolohe mai, e ka honua, i na olelo a kuu waha.
2 May my teaching fall gently like the rain; may my words drop lightly like the dew, like soft rain on new grass, like spring showers on growing plants.
E haule iho kuu ao ana e like me ka ua, E helelei iho ka'u olelo e like me ka hau; Me ka ua liilii hoi maluna o ka launahele hou, A me ka ua nui maluna o ka weuweu;
3 I will praise the Lord's character. Tell everyone how great he is!
No ka mea, e hai aku au i ka inoa o Iehova, E hoomana aku oukou i ko kakou Akua.
4 He is the Rock. Everything he does is perfect, for all his ways are right. He is the trustworthy God who is never unjust; he is fair and honest.
Oia ka Pohaku, ua hemolele kana hana ana; He pono hoi kona mau aoao a pau: He Akua olelo oiaio, aole ona hewa, He pono, he pololei hoi ia.
5 His children have acted immorally towards him; so they are no longer his children because of their sinful stains. They are a perverse and corrupt people.
Ua hana ino lakou, aole noho i keiki nana, Oia ko lakou kina: He hanauna ino lakou, a me ka lanwili.
6 Is this any way to repay the Lord, you foolish, stupid people? Isn't he your Father who created you? Isn't he the one who turned you into a nation and made you strong?
Pela anei oukou e hoihoi aku ai ia Iehova, E ka poe kanaka hawawa, a me ka naaupo? Aole anei ia o kou Makua, nana oe i kuai? Aole anei ia i hana mai ia oe, a i hookupaa ia oe?
7 Remember the olden days; think about times long ago. God and ask your father, and he will explain them to you. Talk to your elders, and they will let you know.
E hoomanao i na manawa kahiko, E noonoo i na makahiki o na hanauna a pau: E ninau aku i kou makuakane, nana e hoike mai ia oe; I na lunakahiko ou, na lakou e hai mai ia oe.
8 The Most High gave the nations their lands when he divided the human race; he fixed their borders depending on their gods.
I ka manawa a ka Mea kiekie i puunaue ai ka aina no na lahuikanaka, I ka manawa ana i hookaawale ai na keiki a Adamu, Hoike mai ia i na palena no na kanaka, E like me ka nui o na mamo a Iseraela.
9 But the Lord's people are his, Israel is his chosen one.
O ke kuleana o Iehova, kona poe kanaka ia; O Iakoba hoi kona hooilina.
10 He found you in a desert land, in a desolate wasteland of whirlwinds. He protected you; he cared for you; he looked after you as the one he loved the most.
Loaa oia ia ia ma ka aina nahelehele, A ma ka waonahele neoneo e uwo ana; Alakai aku la ia ia mai o a o, ao mai oia ia ia, Malama mai oia ia ia e like me ke kii onohi o kona maka.
11 Like an eagle watching over its nest, hovering over its chicks, he spread his wings and picked you up and carried you along.
Me he aeto la e hoala ana i ko ka punana, A hoolahalahai maluna o na keiki ana, Hohola i kona mau eheu, a lawe ae la ia lakou, A kaikai aku maluna o kona mau eheu;
12 The Lord was the only one who led you; no foreign god was with him.
Na Iehova wale no oia i alakai aku, Aole hoi he akua e me ia.
13 The Lord gave you the high country to rule, and fed you with the crops of the field to eat. He sustained you with honey from the rock and olive oil from the flinty crag,
Hooholoholo ae la oia ia ia maluna o na wahi kiekie o ka honua, I ai iho ia i ka hua o na mahinaai, Hanai mai oia ia ia i ka meli mailoko mai o ka pohaku, I ka aila hoi mailoko mai o ka pohaku paa:
14 with yogurt from the herd and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs, with rams from Bashan, and goats, along with the best wheat. You drank the wine made from the best grapes.
Me ka bata o ka bipi, a me ka waiu hipa, A me na keikihipa momona, A me na hipakane no Basana, a me na kaokane, A me ka palaoa maikai loa; Inu iho la oe i ke kokohuawaina, i ka waina maikai.
15 But Israel, you grew fat and rebelled—fat, overweight, and bloated with food. You abandoned the God who made you and despised the Rock of your salvation.
Aka, a momona o Iesuruna, keehi mai la ia: Ua momona oe, ua puipui, ua puni oe i ka momona: Alaila haalele ia i ke Akua, nana ia i hana, Hoowahawaha hoi i ka Pohaku o kona ola.
16 You made the Lord jealous by worshiping foreign gods; you made him angry with such disgusting practices.
Hoolili aku lakou ia ia ma na akua e, Hoonaukiuki lakou ia ia i na mea haumia.
17 You offered sacrifices to demons instead of God, to gods you didn't know anything about, to brand-new gods that your forefathers didn't worship.
Mohai aku lakou na na daimonio, na mea akua ole; Na akua ike ole ia e lakou, Na mea hou, he hou ka puka ana mai, Na mea makau ole ia e na makua o oukou.
18 You dismissed the Rock who fathered you; you forgot the God who gave birth to you.
Manao ole iho la oe i ka Pohaku, nana oe i hoohanau, A hoopoina i ke Akua nana oe i hana.
19 The Lord rejected them when he saw this; his sons and daughters made him angry.
A ike mai la o Iehova, inaina mai ia, No ka hoonaukiuki mai o na keikikane, a me na kaikamahine ana.
20 He said: “I will turn away from them. Then I'll see what happens to them! They are a perverse people, unfaithful children.
I iho la ia, E huna au i ko'u maka mai o lakou aku, E ike auanei au i ke ano o ko lakou hope: No ka mea, he hanauna ino lakou, He poe keiki aole he oiaio iloko o lakou.
21 They have made me jealous by worshiping things that are not God; they have made me angry with their useless idols. So I will make them jealous using a people that aren't really a nation; I will make them angry using ignorant foreigners.
Hoolili mai lakou ia'u ma ka mea, aole he Akua, Hoonaukiuki mai lakou ia'u ma ko lakou mau mea lapuwale; A na'u hoi lakou e hoolili aku ma ka mea kanaka ole, E hoonaukiuki aku hoi au ia lakou ma ka lahuikanaka naaupo.
22 My anger has been set on fire, burning down to the depths of the grave, destroying the earth and all it produces, even setting fire to the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
No ka mea, ua hoaaia ke ahi e kuu inaina, A e enaena ia a hiki ilalo lilo i ka po, A e hoopau ia i ka honua a me kona hua iho, A e puhi ia i ke ahi i na kumu mauna. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will pile disasters on them; I will use up my arrows shooting at them.
E hoiliili au i na ino maluna iho o lakou: E pana aku au i ka'u mau pua ia lakou.
24 They will waste away from hunger, destroyed by disease and poisonous plague. I will send wild animals to bite them with their teeth, the fangs of snakes that slide along the ground.
E pau auanei lakou i ka pololi, E aiia hoi lakou i ke ahi wela, a me ka make awaawa: O ka niho o na mea hihiu ka'u e hoouna aku ai maluna o lakou, A me na mea make o na nahesa o ka honua.
25 Outside in the streets the sword kills their children, inside their homes, they die from fright; young men and young women, children and old people.
O ka pahikaua mawaho, a me ka makau maloko, E luku i ke keikikane, a me ke kaikamahine, I ke keiki waiu, a me ke kanaka poohina.
26 I would have told them I was going to cut them to pieces and wipe out even the memory of them;
I iho la au, E hooauhee aku au ia lakou i na pilikia, E hokai hoi au i ko lakou lono iwaena o kanaka;
27 but I didn't want to hear their conquerors jeering, their enemies misunderstanding what had happened and saying, ‘We won all by ourselves, the Lord didn't have anything to do with it.’
Ina aole au i makau i ka inaina o ka poe enemi, O hana ku e mai ko lakou poe enemi, O olelo mai lakou, Na ko makou lima kiekie, Aole na Iehova i hana keia mau mea a pau,
28 Israel is a nation that doesn't think straight; none of them understand anything.
No ka mea, he lahuikanaka nele i ka naauao, Aole hoi he ike maloko o lakou.
29 How I wish they were wise, so they could understand it; they would recognize what was going to happen to them.
Ina, i naauao lakou a i ike lakou i keia, A i manao lakou i ko lakou hope!
30 How on earth could one man chase after a thousand, or two make ten thousand run away, unless their Rock of protection had sold them, unless the Lord had surrendered them?
Pehea la e alualu ai kekahi i ke tausani hookahi, A o na mea elua e hoopuehu ai i na tausani he umi, Ke ole i kuai aku ko lakou Pohaku ia lakou, Ke ole hoi i hoolilo aku o Iehova ia lakou?
31 The rock they rely on is not like our Rock, as even our enemies admit.
O ko lakou pohaku, aole like ia me ko kakou Pohaku, Ma ka hooiaio ana mai o ko kakou poe enemi.
32 But their vine comes from the vine of Sodom, from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poisonous; they are bitter bunches.
No ka mea, o ko lakou kumuwaina, he kumuwaina no Sodoma, A no na mala hoi o Gomora: O ka lakou huawaina, he huawaina make, A o na huhuiwaina a lakou, he awaawa ia:
33 Their wine is the poison of serpents, deadly snake venom.
O ka lakou waina, he mea make o na moolele, A me ka mea make ino o na moonihoawa.
34 I've stored this all up; it's sealed in my vaults.
Aole anei i hunaia keia mea me au, A i hoopaaia iwaena pu me o'u waiwai?
35 I make sure justice is done, I will repay. The time is coming when they will fall, their day of disaster is approaching, their doom will soon arrive.”
Ia'u no ka hoopai aku, a me ka hoouku: E hoopahee auanei ko lakou wawae: No ka mea, ua kokoke mai ka la e poino ai lakou, Ua lalelale mai na mea e hiki mai ana maluna o lakou.
36 The Lord is going to vindicate his people; he will be merciful to his servants when he sees that they have no strength left, and that everyone is gone, whether slave or free.
No ka mea, e hoopai auanei o Iehova i kona poe kanaka, A e minamina no ia i kana poe kauwa, Ke ike ia, ua nawaliwali ka lima, Aohe mea i paa, aohe mea i paa ole.
37 He'll ask, “What happened to your gods, the rock where your went for protection?
A e olelo mai ia, Auhea ae nei ko lakou mau akua, Ka pohaku a lakou i hilinai ai,
38 Who ate the fat of your sacrifices and drank the wine of your drink offerings? Have them come and help you; have them come and protect you!
Ka mea i ai i ka momona o ka lakou mohai, Ka mea i inu i ka waina o ka lakou mohaiinu? E ku mai lakou e kokua mai ia oukou, A e hoomalu mai ia oukou.
39 Listen! I am the only God! There is no other God except me! I bring death, and I give life; I wound, and I heal. No one can be rescued from my power.
E nana oukou ano, Owau, Owau no ia, Aohe akua e ae, Owau wale no: Owau ke pepehi, Owau ke hoola; Owau ke hooeha, Owau ke hoola; Aohe mea nana e hoopakele ae mai kuu lima aku.
40 I hold up my hand to heaven and solemnly declare on my eternal life,
No ka mea, ke kaikai nei au i kuu lima ma ka lani, Me ka i iho, He ola mau loa ko'u.
41 when I sharpen my shining sword and pick it up to execute judgment, I will repay my enemies and punish those who hate me as they deserve.
Ina e hookala au i kuu pahikaua huali, A e lawe kuu lima i ka hooponopono; E hoopai aku au i kuu poe enemi, E hoouku aku au i ka poe e inaina mai ia'u.
42 My arrows will become drunk with blood, as my sword eats flesh; the blood of those who are killed and captured, the heads of the enemy's leaders.”
E hooinu au i na pua a u i ke koko a ona, E ai iho kuu pahikaua i ka io; Me ke koko o ka mea i pepehiia, a me ko ka mea i pio, I ke poo hoi o na'lii o ka poe enemi.
43 Celebrate with him! Let all God's angels worship him! Celebrate, foreigners, with his people; because he will pay back those who killed his children. He will punish his enemies, and repay those who hate him; he will purify his land and his people.
E olioli oukou, e na aina, me kona poe kanaka; No ka mea, e uku auanei no ia i ke koko o kona poe kauwa, A hoopai no ia i kona poe enemi, A e hoola no ia i ka aina o kona poe kanaka.
44 Then Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song for the people to hear.
Hele mai o Mose a hai aku i na pepeiao o kanaka i na huaolelo a pau o keia mele, oia a me Iosua, ke keiki a Nuna.
45 After Moses finished reciting the whole song to all the Israelites,
A hoopau ae la o Mose i ka olelo ana aku i keia mau olelo a pau i ka Iseraela a pau.
46 he told them, “Think about all these words I've declared to you today, so you can order your children to follow carefully everything in this law.
I aku la ia ia lakou, E noonoo pono ko oukou naau i na olelo a pau a'u e hoike aku nei ia oukou i keia la; oia ka oukou e kauoha aku ai i na keiki a oukou e malama, e hana hoi i na olelo a pau o keia kanawai.
47 Don't treat these words as trivial because they are your life, and by them you will have long lives in the country that you will own after crossing the Jordan.”
Aole keia he mea lapuwale no oukou, no ka mea, o ko oukou ola keia; a ma keia mea e hooloihi ai oukou i na la ma ka aina, kahi a oukou e hele aku nei i kela kapa o Ioredane e noho.
48 That same day the Lord told Moses,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose ia la no, i mai la.
49 “Climb up into the Abarim mountains to Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab opposite Jericho, and look over the country of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites for them to own.
E pii aku oe i keia kuahiwi, i Abarima, ma ka puu o Nebo, ma ka aina o Moaba, e ku pono ana i Ieriko, a e nana i ka aina o Kanaana, a'u e haawi aku nei i wahi e noho ai no na mamo a Iseraela;
50 There on the mountain you've climbed, you will die and join your people in death, in the same way your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and joined his people.
A e make oe ma ke kuahiwi, kahi au e pii aku ai, a e hui pu ia oe me kou poe kanaka, e like me ka make ana o Aarona kou kaikuaana, a hui pu ia oia me kona poe kanaka.
51 For there at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Desert of Zin, you both were unfaithful to me. You misrepresented me to the Israelites when you didn't treat me as holy in their presence.
No ka mea, ua hana hewa olua ia'u iwaena o na mamo a Iseraela ma ka wai o Meriba, ma Kadesa, i ka waonahele o Zina; i ko olua hoano ole mai ia'u mawaena o na mamo a Iseraela.
52 Though you will see the country that I am giving the Israelites from a distance, you won't enter it.”
E ike no nae oe i ka aina, aka, aole oe e hele aku ilaila, i ka aina a'u e haawi aku nei i na mamo a Iseraela.
