< Deuteronomy 11 >
1 “[Because of all that] Yahweh your God [has done for you], you must love him and continually obey all his rules and regulations and commandments.
NO ia mea, e aloha aku oe ia Iehova kou Akua, a e malama i kana mea i kauohaia, a me kona mau kanawai, a me kana mau olelo kupaa, a me kana mau kauoha i na la a pau.
2 It was you and your ancestors, not your children, whom he disciplined [by causing all of you to have/experience difficulties]. So, starting today, continue to think about how very great and very powerful he is [DOU, MTY].
E ike pono oukou i keia la; no ka mea, aole au e olelo aka i na keiki a oukou, ka poe naauao ole, a ike ole hoi i ka paipai ana a Iehova ko oukou Akua, i kona nui, i kona lima ikaika, a me kona lima kakauha;
3 Think about the various miracles [DOU] that he performed in Egypt. Think about what he did to the king of Egypt and to his country.
A me kana mau hana mana, a me na mea ana i hana'i iwaena o Aigupita ia Parao ke alii o Aigupita, a me kona aina a pau;
4 Think about what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses and their chariots. Think about how he caused the Red Sea to flood/cover over them while they were pursuing your ancestors, and how the army of Egypt was completely (wiped out/destroyed).
I ka mea hoi ana i hana ai i ka poe kaua o Aigupita, i ko lakou mau lio, a me ko lakou mau halekaa; i kona hoopopoi ana i ka wai o ke Kaiula maluna o lakou i ko lakou hahai ana mai ia oukou, a luku mai o Iehova ia lakou a hiki i keia la:
5 Think about what Yahweh did for your ancestors in the desert before you arrived at this place.
I ka mea hoi ana i hana mai ai no oukou ma ka waonahele a hiki aku ma keia wahi;
6 Think about what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the two sons of Eliab from the tribe of Reuben. While all of your ancestors were watching, the earth split open, and they fell into the opening [and disappeared], along with their families and their tents, their servants, and their animals.
A i ka mea ana i hana mai ai ia Datana, a me Abirama i na keiki a Eliaba, ke keiki a Reubena, i hamama ai ka honua i kona waha, a ale iho la ia lakou, a me ko lakou ohua, a me ko lakou mau halelewa, a me ko lakou waiwai a pau me lakou iwaena o ka Iseraela a pau:
7 You [SYN] and your ancestors have seen all these miracles that Yahweh performed.
Aka, ua ike ko oukou maka i na hana nui a pau a Iehova i hana'i.
8 So, obey all the commandments that I am giving you today, in order that you will be strong and able to cross the river and occupy the land that you are about to enter,
E malama no oukou i na kauoha a pau a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oukou i keia la, i ikaika ai oukou, a i hele oukou a komo i ka aina, kahi a oukou e hele ai e noho;
9 and in order that you will live for a long time in that land, the land that Yahweh solemnly promised your ancestors that he would give to them and to their descendants, a land that is very fertile [IDM].
A i loihi ai ko oukou mau la ma ka aina a Iehova i hoohiki ai i ko oukou mau kupuna e haawi no lakou, a me ka lakou poe mamo, he aina e kahe ana o ka waiu a me ka meli.
10 The land that you are about to enter and occupy is not like the land of Egypt, where your ancestors lived. In Egypt, after they planted seeds, it was necessary for them to work hard [MTY] to water [the plants that grew].
No ka mea, aole like ka aina a oukou e hele aku nei e noho ai, me ka aina o Aigupita, kahi a oukou i hele mai nei, kahi a oukou i lulu ai i ka oukou hua, a hookahe i ka wai me ko oukou wawae, e like me ke kihapai mea kanu:
11 But the land that you are about to enter is a land where there are many hills and valleys, where there is plenty of rain.
Aka, o ka aina a oukou e hele aku nei e noho, he aina puu, a me na awawa, e inu ana i ka wai ua o ka lani;
12 Yahweh takes care of that land. He [SYN] watches over it every day, from the beginning of each year to the end of each year.
He aina a Iehova kou Akua i malama ai; e mau ana na maka o Iehova kou Akua maluna ona, mai ka mua o ka makahiki, a i ka hope o ka makahiki.
13 Today I am commanding you to love Yahweh our God and to serve him with your entire inner beings. If you do that,
Ina paha oukou e hoolohe pono i ka'u mau kauoha a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oukou i keia la, e aloha aku ia Iehova ko oukou Akua, a e malama ia ia me ko oukou naau a pau, a me ko oukou uhane a pau;
14 each year he will send rain on your land at the (right times/times when it is needed), (in the autumn/at the end of the dry season) and (in the spring/before the next dry season starts). As a result, you will have grain and [grapes to make] wine and [olives to make olive] oil.
Alaila e haawi iho au i ka ua o ko oukou aina i kona manawa pono, i ka ua mua, a i ka ua hope, i ohi ai oe i kau palaoa a me kau waina a me kau aila.
15 And he will cause grass to grow in your fields for your livestock [to eat]. You will have all the food that you want.
A e haawi au i ka weuweu ma ke kula na na holoholona au, i ai iho oe a maona.
16 “But I warn you, do not turn away from Yahweh our God and start to worship other gods,
E malama oukou ia oukou iho, o hoowalewaleia ko oukou naau, a huli ae oukou, a malama aku i na akua e, a e hoomana aku ia lakou.
17 because if you do that, Yahweh will become very angry with you. He will prevent any rain from falling. As a result, the crops will not grow, and you will soon die [from hunger] in the good land that Yahweh is about to give to you.
A e hoaaia ka inaina o Iehova ia oukou, a e hoopaa aku ia i ka lani, i ua ole ai, a i hua ole ai ka aina i kona hua; a e lukuia aku oukou mai ka aina maikai aku a Iehova i haawi mai ai no oukou.
18 So, keep thinking [IDM] about these commands. Write them [on tiny scrolls] and fasten them to your arms/wrists, and write them on bands that you fasten to your foreheads [to help you to remember them].
No ia mea, e waiho oukou i keia mau olelo a'u maloko o ko oukou naau, a me ko oukou uhane, a e nakii oukou ia mau mea i hoailona ma ko oukou mau lima, a i mea e hoomanao ai iwaena o ko oukou mau maka.
19 Teach them to your children again and again. Talk about them [all the time]: When you are in your houses and when you are walking outside; talk about them when you are lying down at night and when you are getting up in the morning.
A e ao aku oukou ia mau mea i ka oukou kamalii, e olelo ana ma ia mau mea i kou noho ana ma kou hale, a i kou hele ana ma ke ala, a i kou moe ana ilalo, a me kou ala ana iluna.
20 Write them on the doorposts and on the gates of your houses.
A e kakau oe ia mau mea ma na lapauila o kou puka hale, a ma na puka pa ou.
21 Do that in order that you and your children will live for a long time in the land that Yahweh promised to our ancestors that he would give to them. That land will belong to you [and your descendants] as long as there is a sky above the earth.
I hoonuiia'i ko oukou mau la, a me na la o ka oukou poe keiki, ma ka aina o Iehova i hoohiki ai i ko oukou mau kupuna e haawi no lakou, e like me na la o ka lani maluna o ka honua.
22 “Faithfully continue to obey what I am commanding you to do—to love Yahweh our God, and to conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and to (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him.
No ka mea, ina paha e malama pono oukou i keia mau kauoha a pau a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oukou e hana ia mea, e aloha aku ia Iehova i ko oukou Akua, a o hele ma kona aoao a pau, a e hoopili aku ia ia;
23 If you do that, Yahweh will expel all the people-groups in that land as you advance, people-groups that are more numerous and more powerful than you are.
Alaila e hookuke aku o Iehova i keia mau lahuikanaka a pau mai ko oukou alo aku, a e lilo no oukou na lahuikanaka nui aku, a ikaika aku i ko oukou.
24 All the ground [in that land] on which you walk will be yours. Your territory will extend from the desert [in the south] to the Lebanon [Mountains in the north], and from the Euphrates River [in the east] to the [Mediterranean] Sea in the west.
No oukou na wahi a pau a ko oukou kapuwai e hehi iho ai: mai ka waonahele a hiki i Lebanona, a mai ka muliwai, ka muliwai o Euperate, a hiki i ke kai ma ke komohana, oia ko oukou palena aina.
25 Yahweh our God will cause all the people in that land to be afraid of you, which is what he promised, with the result that no people-group will be able to stop you.
Aole e hiki i kekahi kanaka ke kupaa imua o oukou, na Iehova ko oukou Akua e kau mai ka makau a me ka weliweli ia oukou maluna o ka aina a pau a oukou e hehi iho ai, e like me kana i olelo mai ai ia oukou.
26 “Listen carefully: Today I am telling you [that Yahweh will either] bless [you or he will] curse you.
Eia hoi ke waiho nei au imua o ko oukou alo i keia la i ka pomaikai, a me ka poino:
27 If you obey the commandments of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you today, he will bless you.
I ka pomaikai, ke hoolohe oukou i na kauoha a Iehova ko oukou Akua, a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oukou i keia la;
28 If you do not obey them, and if you turn away from him to worship other gods that you have never known about before, he will curse you.
I ka poino, ke hoolohe ole oukou i na Kauoha a Iehova ko oukou Akua; a huli ae oukou mai ka aoao aku, a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oukou i keia la, a hele mamuli o na akua e, a oukou i ike ole ai.
29 And when Yahweh brings you into the land that you are about to enter and occupy, [some of you must stand on top of] Gerizim Mountain and proclaim what will cause Yahweh to bless you, and [the others must stand on top of] Ebal Mountain and proclaim [what will cause Yahweh to] curse you.”
Aia hookomo aku o Iehova kou Akua ia oe i ka aina au e hele aku nei a noho ilaila, e kau aku oe i ka pomaikai ma ka puu o Gerizima, a i ka poino ma ka puu o Ebala.
30 (Those two mountains are [RHQ] west of the Jordan [River], west of the Jordan Valley near the huge oak tree at Moreh [village] in the land where the Canaan people-group lives. They live close to the sacred trees near Gilgal.)
Aole anei oia mau mea ma kela kapa o Ioredane ma ka aoao e napoo ana o ka la, i ka aina o ka Kanaana, e noho ana ma ka papu e ku pono ana i Gilegala, e pili ana i na papu o More?
31 “You will soon cross the Jordan [River] to occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you. When you enter that land and start to live there,
No ka mea, e hele ana oukou ma kela kapa o Ioredane e komo iloko o ka aina a Iehova ko oukou Akua e haawi mai ai no oukou, a e komo no oukou, a e noho oukou malaila.
32 be sure to obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.”
A e malama pono oukou i na kanawai a pau a me na olelo kupaa a'u e waiho nei imua o oukou i keia la.
