< Joshua 24 >
1 Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, for their heads, for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.
A LAILA, hoiliili mai la o Iosua i na ohana a pau a Iseraela ma Sekema, a kahea aku la oia i na lunakahiko a Iseraela, a me ko lakou alii, a me ko lakou lunakanawai, a me ka poe luna o lakou; a noho iho la lakou imua o ke alo o ke Akua.
2 Joshua said to all the people, "Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, 'Your fathers lived of old time beyond the River, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor: and they served other gods.
Olelo mai la o Iosua i na kanaka a pau, Ke i mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o Iseraela penei, Ua noho no ko oukou kupuna ma kela kapa o ka muliwai, i ka wa kahiko, o Tera ka makuakane o Aberahama, o ka makuakane hoi o Nahora; a malama no lakou i na'kua e.
3 I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his descendants, and gave him Isaac.
A lawe au i ko oukou kupuna ia Aberahama, mai kela kapa ae o ka muliwai, a alakai au ia ia i na aina a pau o Kanaana nei, a hoonui i kona hua, a haawi no au ia Isaaka nana.
4 And I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau. And I gave to Esau Mount Seir, to possess it. And Jacob and his children went down into Egypt, and became there a great and numerous and mighty nation, and the Egyptians afflicted them.
A haawi au na Isaaka ia Iakoba a me Esau: a haawi au na Esau i ka mauna o Seira, i wahi e noho ai nona; aka, o Iakoba a me kana mau keiki, hele lakou ilalo i Aigupita.
5 And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did in its midst; and afterward I brought you out
Hoouna aku au ia Mose, a me Aarona, a hoomainoino au ia Aigupita, ma ka mea a'u i hana'i mawaena o lakou; a mahope iho, lawe mai au ia oukou mawaho.
6 from Egypt. And you came to the sea, and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and with horsemen to the Red Sea.
A lawe mai no au i ko oukou poe makua, mai Aigupita mai; a hele mai lakou e hiki i ke kai, a hahai mai ka poe Aigupita mahope o ko oukou poe makua, me na halekaa, a me ko lakou poe hololio, a hiki i ke Kaiula.
7 When they cried out to Jehovah, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea on them, and covered them; and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt: and you lived in the wilderness many days.
A kahea lakou ia Iehova, alaila, kau oia i ka poeleele mawaena o oukou a me ko Aigupita, hoopopoi mai oia i ke kai, a uhi mai maluna o lakou. Pela no i ike ai ko oukou mau maka i na mea a pau a'u i hana'i i ko Aigupita: a ua noho oukou ma ka waonahele, i na la he nui loa.
8 I brought you into the land of the Amorites, that lived beyond the Jordan: and they fought with you; and I gave them into your hand. You possessed their land; and I destroyed them from before you.
A ua alakai mai nei au ia oukou i ka aina o ka Amora, ka poe i noho ma kela kapa o Ioredane, a kaua mai lakou ia oukou; aka, haawi no wau ia lakou iloko o ko oukou mau lima, a noho oukou ma ko lakou aina; a luku aku la au ia lakou imua o oukou.
9 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel. He sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you;
Alaila ku iluna o Balaka, ke keiki a Zipora, o ke alii o Moaba, a kaua mai oia i ka Iseraela, a hoouna aku la oia, a kahea aku la ia Balaama, i ke keiki a Beora e olelo hoino ia oukou.
10 but I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you still. So I delivered you out of his hand.
Aka, aole au i makemake e hoolohe ia Balaama; no ia mea, hoomaikai mai oia ia oukou, a hoopakele au ia oukou, mai kona lima aku.
11 You went over the Jordan, and came to Jericho. The men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hethite, the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I delivered them into your hand.
A hele mai oukou, maluna mai o Ioredane, a hiki i Ieriko; a kaua mai ka poe noho ma Ieriko ia oukou, a me ka Amora, a me ka Pereza, a me ko Kanaana: a me ka Heta, a me ka Giregasa, a me ka Heva, a me ka Iebusa; a haawi au ia lakou i ko oukou mau lima.
12 I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with your sword, nor with your bow.
A hoouna au imua o oukou i na nalohopeeha, a kipaku aku la au ia lakou, mai ko oukou alo aku, i na'lii elua o ka Amora; aole na ka oukou pahikaua, aole no hoi na ka oukou kakaka.
13 I gave you a land whereon you had not labored, and cities which you did not build, and you live in them. You eat of vineyards and olive groves which you did not plant.'
A haawi au ia oukou i ka aina nona oukou i hooluhi ole ai, a me na kulanakauhale i kukulu ole ia'i e oukou, a ke noho nei oukou malaila; a ke ai nei oukou i kona malawaina, a me na mala oliva a oukou i kanu ole ai.
14 Now therefore fear Jehovah, and serve him in sincerity and in truth. Put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve Jehovah.
Ano la, e makau oukou ia Iehova, a e malama ia ia, me ka manao maikai, a me ka oiaio; a e haalele oukou i na akua a ko oukou mau makua i malama'i, ma kela kapa aku o ka muliwai, a ma Aigupita; a e malama oukou ia Iehova.
15 If it seems evil to you to serve Jehovah, choose this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve Jehovah."
A ina he mea ino i ko oukou manao ke malama ia Iehova, e koho oukou i keia la i ka oukou mea e malama aku ai; i na'kua paha a ko oukou poe kupuna i malama'i ma kela kapa aku o ka muliwai, i na'kua paha o ka Amora, no lakou no ka aina e noho nei oukou: aka, owau, a me ko ka hale o'u, e malama makou ia Iehova.
16 The people answered, "Far be it from us that we should forsake Jehovah, to serve other gods;
Alaila, olelo aku la na kanaka, i mai la, Aole loa makou e haalele ia Iehova, a e malama i na akua e;
17 for it is Jehovah our God who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way in which we went, and among all the peoples through the midst of whom we passed.
No ka mea, o Iehova, ko kakou Akua, oia no ka mea nana i lawe mai ia kakou, a me ko kakou poe makua mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, mailoko mai hoi o ka hale hooluhi; ka mea nana i hana i na mea nui imua o ko kakou mau maka, a malama mai oia ia kakou ma ke alanui a pau a kakou i hele mai ai, a mawaena o na kanaka a pau ma kahi a kakou i hele ai.
18 Jehovah drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites who lived in the land. Therefore we also will serve Jehovah; for he is our God."
A na Iehova no i kipaku aku, mai ko kakou alo aku i na kanaka a pau, i ka Amora, i noho i ka aina; ano la e malama kakou ia Iehova, no ka mea, oia no ko kakou Akua.
19 Joshua said to the people, "You can't serve Jehovah; for he is a holy God. He is a jealous God. He will not forgive your disobedience nor your sins.
A olelo mai la o Iosua i na kanaka, Aole hiki ia oukou ke malama ia Iehova, no ka mea, he Akua ihiihi oia, he Akua lili no hoi; aole e kala mai oia i ko oukou hala, a me ko oukou hewa.
20 If you forsake Jehovah, and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you harm, and consume you, after he has done you good."
No ka mea, ina e haalele oukou ia Iehova, a e malama i na'kua o, alaila e huli oia a e hoino mai oia ia oukou, a e hoopau oia ia oukou mahope iho o kona lokomaikai ana mai ia oukou.
21 The people said to Joshua, "No; but we will serve Jehovah."
Alaila, olelo aku la na kanaka ia Iosua, Aole loa pela, no ka mea, e malama aku no makou ia Iehova.
22 Joshua said to the people, "You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen you Jehovah, to serve him." They said, "We are witnesses."
Olelo mai la o Iosua i na kanaka, He poe hoike oukou no oukou iho, ua koho oukou ia Iehova no oukou, e malama aku ia ia. Olelo aku la lakou, He poe hoike no makou.
23 "Now therefore put away the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to Jehovah, the God of Israel."
Ano la, e kipaku oukou i na akua e, mai ko oukou alo aku, a e hoopili oukou me ko oukou naau ia Iehova i ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
24 The people said to Joshua, "We will serve Jehovah our God, and we will listen to his voice."
Olelo aku la na kanaka ia Iosua, O Iehova, o ko kakou Akua, o ka makou ia e malama aku ai, a o kona leo ka makou e hoolohe aku ai.
25 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and made for them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
A hana iho la o Iosua i berita me na kanaka i kela la, a waiho oia no lakou i ke kanawai a me ke kapu ma Sekema.
26 Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God; and he took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of Jehovah.
A kakau iho la o Iosua i keia mau olelo maloko o ka buke o ke kanawai o ke Akua, a lawe no hoi oia i pohaku nui, a kukulu iho la i ua pohaku la malaila, ma ka laau e kokoke ana i ka halelewa o Iehova.
27 Joshua said to all the people, "Look, this stone shall be a witness against us; for it has heard all the words of Jehovah which he spoke to us. It shall be therefore a witness against you, lest you deny your God."
Olelo aku la o Iosua i na kanaka a pau, Eia hoi keia pohaku, oia ko kakou mea hoike; no ka mea, ua lohe ia mea i na olelo a pau a Iehova, ana i kauoha mai ai ia kakou; a he mea hoike no ia no oukou, o hoole oukou i ke Akua.
28 So Joshua sent the people away, every man to his inheritance.
A hookuu aku la o Iosua i ka poe kanaka, i kela kanaka i keia kanaka i kona aina.
29 It happened after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, being one hundred ten years old.
Mahope iho o keia mau mea, make iho la o Iosua, ke keiki a Nuna, ke kauwa a Iehova, a o kona mau la a pau, hookahi ia haneri makahiki a me ka umi keu.
30 They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath Serah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
A kanu iho la lakou ia ia ma ke kihi o kona aina, ma Timenasera, ma ka puu o Eperaima, ma ke kukulu akau o ka puu o Gaasa.
31 Israel served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, and had known all the work of Jehovah, that he had worked for Israel.
A malama no ka Iseraela ia Iehova i na la a pau o Iosua, a i na la a pau o na lunakahiko, i ola mahope iho o Iosua, ka poe i ike i na mea a pau a Iehova i hana mai ai i ka Iseraela.
32 They buried the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, in Shechem, in the parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred kesitahs. They became the inheritance of the descendants of Joseph.
A o na iwi o Iosepa a na mamo a Iseraela i lawe mai ai, mai Aigupita mai, kanu iho la lakou ia mea ma Sekema, i kahi ma ke kula a Iakoba i kuai ai me na keiki a Hamora, ka makua o Sekema, i na moni hookahi haneri; a ili mai no ia no na keiki a Iosepa.
33 Eleazar the son of Aaron died. They buried him in the hill of Phinehas his son, which was given him in the hill country of Ephraim.
A make o Eleazara ke keiki a Aarona; a kanu iho la lakou ia ia ma ka puu o Pinehasa o kana keiki, i haawiia mai nona ma ka mauna o Eperaima.
