Deuteronomy 9
1 Hear O Israel! thou art passing, to-day, over the Jordan, to go in to dispossess nations, greater and stronger than thou, —cities great and fortified into the heavens;
E HOOLOHE, e ka Iseraela; e hele ana oe i keia la ma kela kapa o Ioredane, e komo a hoolilo nou i na lahuikanaka, he oi aku ka nui a me ka ikaika o lakou i kou, a i na kulanakauhale nui, ua paa i ka pa pohaku, a hala i ka lani.
2 a people great and tall, the sons of Anakim, —whom, thou, knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the sons of Anak?
He poe kanaka nunui a loihi, na keiki a ka poe Anakima, a oukou i ike ai, a ua lohe hoi oe, Owai la auanei e hiki ke ku imua o na keiki a Anaka?
3 So then, thou must consider to-day, that Yahweh thy God, he it is that is passing over before thee as a consuming fire, he, will destroy them, and, he, will cause them to bow down before thee, —so shalt thou dispossess them, and destroy them speedily, as Yahweh hath spoken unto thee.
E ike pono oe i keia la, o Iehova kou Akua, ka mea e hele ana imua ou, he ahi ia e hoopau ana, nana lakou e luku aku, a nana lakou e hoohaahaa iho imua o kou maka: a e hookuke aku oe ia lakou, a e luku koke aku ia lakou, e like me ka Iehova i olelo mai ai ia oe.
4 Do not speak in thy heart, when Yahweh thy God casteth them out from before thee saying, For mine own righteousness, hath Yahweh brought me in, to possess this land, —whereas it is for the lawlessness of these nations, that, Yahweh, is dispossessing them from before thee.
Mai i iho oe iloko o kou naau mahope o ka Iehova kou Akua kipaku ana aku ia lakou mai kou alo aku, i ka i ana ae, No ko'u pono i lawe mai nei o Iehova ia'u e hoonoho ma keia aina; aka, no ka hewa o keia mau lahuikanaka i kipaku aku ai o Iehova ia lakou mai kou alo aku.
5 Not for thine own righteousness, nor for the uprightness of thine own heart, art thou going in to possess their land, —but for the lawlessness of these nations, is, Yahweh thy God driving them out from before thee, and that he may establish the word which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers, unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob.
Aole no kou pono, a me ka pololei o kou naau, kou hele ana e noho ma ko lakou aina; aka, no ka hewa o kela mau luhuikanaka, e kipaku aku ai o Iehova kou Akua ia lakou mai kou alo aku, a e hooko hoi ia i ka olelo a Iehova i hoohiki ai i kou mau kupuna, ia Aberahama, ia Isaaka, a me Iakoba.
6 So then, thou must consider that, not for thine own righteousness, is Yahweh thy God giving unto thee this good land to possess it, —for a stiff-necked people, thou art.
E ike hoi oe, aole o Iehova kou Akua e haawi mai i keia aina maikai i lilo ia nou, no kou pono; no ka mea, he poe kanaka a-i oolea oukou,
7 Remember—do not forget, how thou didst provoke Yahweh thy God, in the desert, —yea from the day when thou camest forth out of the and of Egypt until ye entered as far as this place, have ye been quarrelling, with Yahweh.
E hoomanao oe, mai hoopoina i kou hoonaukiuki ana ia Iehova kou Akua ma ka waonahele: ma ka la i puka mai ai oukou mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, a hiki oukou ma keia wahi, ua kipi oukou ia Iehova.
8 Even in Horeb, ye provoked Yahweh to wrath, —so that Yahweh showed himself angry with you to destroy you.
Ma Horeba hoi i hoonaukiuki aku ai oukou ia Iehova, a huhu mai la o Iehova ia oukou e luku aku ia oukou.
9 When I went up into the mountain to receive the tables of stone—the tables of the covenant, which Yahweh had solemnised with you, then abode I in the mountain forty days and forty nights, food, did I not, eat, and water, did I not drink.
Ia'u i pii ae i ka mauna e loaa na papapohaku, na papa o ke kanawai a Iehova i hana'i no oukou, hookahi kanaha ao, a hookahi kanaha po, a'u i noho ai ma ka mauna; aole au i ai i ka ai, aole hoi i inu i ka wai:
10 Then did Yahweh deliver unto me the two tables of stone, written with the finger of God, —and [there was] upon them, according to all the words which Yahweh had spoken with you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the convocation.
A haawi mai o Iehova ia'u i na papapohaku elua, i kakauia e ka lima o ke Akua; a maluna o ia mau mea na huaolelo a pau a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia oukou ma ka mauna, mailoko mai o ke ahi i ka la o ka houluulu ana.
11 So then it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Yahweh gave unto me the two tables of stone the tables of the covenant.
A pau na la he kanaha, a me na po he kanaha, haawi mai la o Iehova ia'u i na papapohaku elua, oia na papa o ke kanawai.
12 Then said Yahweh unto me—Up! get down quickly out of this mountain, for thy people whom thou hast brought forth out of Egypt, have broken faith, —they have turned aside quickly, out of the way which I commanded them, —they have made them a molten image.
A olelo mai o Iehova ia'u, E ku ae oe, e iho koke oe mai keia wahi aku; no ka mea, ua hana hewa kou poe kanaka au i lawe mai nei mai ka aina o Aigupita mai: ua kapae koke ae lakou mai ke ala aku a'u i kauoha aku ai ia lakou; ua hana lakou i kii i hooheeheeia no lakou.
13 And Yahweh spake unto me saying, —I have looked on this people, and lo! a stiff-necked people, it is.
Olelo mai hoi o Iehova ia'u, i mai la, Ua ike au i keia poe kanaka, aia hoi, he poe kanaka a-i oolea keia.
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and wipe out their name from under the heavens, —and make thee into a nation stronger and more in number than they.
E waiho mai oe ia'u, i luku aku ai au ia lakou, a i hokai aku ai i ko lakou inoa malalo ae o ka lani: a e hoolilo aku au ia oe i lahuikanaka ikaika loa, a nui loa hoi i ko lakou.
15 So I turned, and came down out of the mountain, now the mountain was burning with fire, —and the two tables of the covenant were upon my two hands.
A huli ae au, a iho ilalo mai ka mauna mai, ua wela ka mauna i ke ahi; a ma kuu mau lima elua na papa elua o ke kanawai.
16 Then looked I, and lo! ye had sinned against Yahweh your God, ye had made you a molten calf, —ye had turned aside quickly, out of the way which Yahweh had commanded you.
A nana iho la au, aia hoi, ua hana hewa oukou ia Iehova i ko oukou Akua, ua hana oukou i bipikeiki i hooheeheeia no oukou; ua kapae koke oukou mai ke ala aku a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia oukou.
17 So I seized the two tables, and cast them from off my two hands, —and brake them in pieces before your eyes.
A lawe ae la au i na papa elua a hoolei aku la mai ko'u mau lima aku, a nahaha iho la imua o ko oukou maka.
18 Then lay I prostrate before Yahweh as at the first, forty days and forty nights, food, did I not eat, and water, did I not drink, —because of all your sin which ye had sinned, in doing the thing that was wicked, in the eyes of Yahweh. to provoke him to anger.
A haule iho la au imua o Iehova, e like mamua, hookahi kanaha ao, hookahi kanaha po; aole au i ai i ka berena, aole hoi i inu i ka wai, no ko oukou hewa a pau a oukou i hana hewa ai imua o Iehova, e hoonaukiuki aku ai ia ia.
19 For I shrank with fear from the face of the anger and the hot displeasure, wherewith Yahweh was provoked against you to destroy you, —but Yahweh hearkened unto me, even at that time.
No ka mea, makau iho la au i ka huhu a me ka inaina nui a Iehova i huhu mai ai ia oukou e luku ia oukou: aka, hoolohe mai no o Iehova ia'u i kela manawa.
20 And with Aaron, did Yahweh show himself exceedingly angry, to destroy him, —so I prostrated myself, even in behalf of Aaron at that time.
A huhu nui mai no hoi o Iehova ia Aarona e pepehi ia ia: a pule aku au no Aarona hoi i kela manawa.
21 And your sin which ye had made even the calf, took I and burned it up with fire, and pounded it very small, until it was fine as dust, —then cast I the dust thereof into the torrent that descended out of the mountain.
Lawe aku la au i ko oukou hala, i ka bipikeiki a oukou i hana'i, a puhi aku la i ke ahi, a kui iho la, a pepe liilii a aiai e like me ka lepo; a hoolei aku i kona lepo iloko o ke kahawai, e kahe ana mai ka mauna mai.
22 Also, at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hataavah, a cause of provocation, became ye unto Yahweh.
A ma Tabera, a ma Masa, a ma Kiberohataava, hoonaukiuki aku la oukou ia Iehova.
23 Also when Yahweh sent you out of Kadesh-barnea saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given unto you then quarreled ye with the bidding of Yahweh your God, and trusted him not, neither hearkened unto his voice.
A ia Iehova hoi i hoouna aku ai ia oukou mai Kadesabanea aku, i ka i ana aku, E pii oukou a noho ma ka aina a'u i haawi ai no oukou; alaila kipi mai la oukou i ke kauoha a Iehova ko oukou Akua, aole oukou i hooia aku ia ia, aole hoi oukou i hoolohe i kona leo.
24 Ye have been quarrelling, with Yahweh, —from the day that I first knew you.
He poe kipi oukou ia Iehova mai ka manawa mai o kuu ike ana ia oukou.
25 Thus, then lay I prostrate before Yahweh, the forty days and the forty nights that I did lie prostrate, —because Yahweh spake of destroying you.
A haule iho la au imua o Iehova, hookahi kanaha ao, hookahi kanaha po, e like me kuu haule ana mamua; no ka mea, ua i mai o Iehova e luku aku ia oukou.
26 Therefore I prostrated myself unto Yahweh and said, My Lord Yahweh! Do not destroy thy people even thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed in thy greatness, —which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a firm hand.
No ia mea, pule aku la au ia Iehova, i aku la, E Iehova, e ka Haku e, mai luku mai oe i kou poe kanaka, a me kou hooilina au i hoola'i ma kou mana, i ka mea hoi au i lawe mai nei mai Aigupita mai me ka lima ikaika.
27 Have remembrance of thy servants, of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob, —do not regard the obduracy of this people, or their lawlessness or their sin:
E hoomanao oe i kau mau kauwa, ia Aberahama, ia Isaaka, a me Iakoba: mai manao oe i ka paakiki o keia poe kanaka, aole hoi i ko lakou hewa a me ko lakou hala;
28 lest the land out of which thou hast brought us forth say, Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land of which he had spoken to them, —and because he hated them, took he them forth to put them to death in the desert.
O olelo mai auanei ko ka aina nolaila i lawe mai ai oe ia makou, No ka hiki ole ia Iehova ke lawe aku ia lakou ma ka aina ana i olelo mai ai ia lakou, a no kona inaina ia lakou, i lawe mai oia ia lakou e luku ia lakou ma ka waonahele.
29 Yet, they, are thy people and thine inheritance, —whom thou hast brought forth with thy great strength, and with thy stretched-out arm.
O kou poe kanaka no nae lakou, a me kou hooilina au i lawe mai nei me kou mana ikaika, a me kou lima kakauha.
