Deuteronomy 8
1 You must take care to follow every commandment I am giving you today, so that you may live and have many descendants, and go in and take over the country the Lord promised to give to your fore 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 how for these forty years the Lord your God has led you all the way through the desert, humbling you and testing you in order to find out what you were really thinking, and 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 when you were hungry he gave you manna to eat, which nobody, including you and your forefathers, had ever had before This was in order to make it clear to you that human beings do not live by only eating bread, but by 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 During these forty years your clothing didn't wear out and your feet didn't swell up.
Aole i weluwelu kou aahu maluna ou, aole hoi i pehu kou wawae i neia mau makahiki he kanaha.
5 So you should realize that just as a parent disciplines their child, 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 That's why you have to keep the commandments of the Lord your God, following his ways and respecting 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 taking you to a good country. It's a land of streams and pools and springs that flow through the valleys and down the 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 It's a land that produces wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, pomegranates, 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 It's a land where you won't run out of food, where you will have everything you need; a land whose rocks contain iron ore and whose hills can 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 full, make sure you thank the Lord your God for the good land that he's 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 Make sure you don't forget the Lord your God by disobeying his commandments and rules and regulations that I'm giving you today.
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 For when you eat and are full, when you build beautiful houses to live in,
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 larger, and your silver and gold accumulates, and all your possessions increase,
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 you will become proud, and you will forget the Lord your God who led you out of Egypt, out of the prison-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 guided you through the immense and terrifying desert with its poisonous snakes and scorpions—a dried up, waterless land. He brought water for you out of a flint 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 He fed you in the desert with manna that your forefathers had never known, humbling you and testing you, so that eventually you would do well in the future.
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 think to yourselves, “I became rich through all my hard work.”
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 it's the Lord your God who gives you the ability to become rich, in order to fulfill his agreement he promised to your forefathers that still exists today.
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 run after other gods, worshiping and bowing down to them, I assure you right now that you will definitely die!
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 In the same way the Lord destroyed the nations as you advanced, you will also die if you don't 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.
