Deuteronomy 12
1 “(I will now tell you again/These, [again], are) the rules and regulations that you must faithfully obey in the land that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], is giving to you to occupy. You must obey these laws all the time that you are alive.
EIA na kanawai a me na olelo kupaa a oukou e malama pono ai ma ka aina a Iehova ke Akua o ko oukou mau kupuna e haawi mai ia oukou e noho, i na la a pau o ko oukou ola ana maluna o ka honua.
2 You must destroy all the places where the people-groups that you will expel worship their gods, on the tops of mountains and hills and under big green trees.
E luku loa aku oukou i na wahi a pau, kahi a na lahuikanaka i hooliloia no oukou, i malama'i i ko lakou mau akua, maluna o na mauna kiekie, a me na puu, a malalo o na laau uliuli.
3 You must tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars. Completely burn the statues of their goddess Asherah in fires, and chop down their wooden idols, in order that no one will ever worship them [MTY] in those places again.
E hookahuli oukou i ko lakou mau kuahu, a e wawahi i ko lakou kii, a e puhi i ko lakou mau kii o Asetarota i ke ahi, a e kua ilalo i na kii kalaiia o ko lakou mau akua, a e hokai i ko lakou inoa mai keia wahi aku.
4 “Do not worship Yahweh like [the people in Canaan worship their gods].
Mai hana oukou pela ia Iehova ko oukou Akua.
5 Instead, you must go to the place that Yahweh will choose. It will be in the area where one of your tribes will live. That is where you must go to worship Yahweh.
Aka, ma kahi a Iehova ko oukou Akua e wae ai noloko mai o ko oukou mau ohana, a waiho i kona inoa malaila, ma kona hale, malaila oukou e imi ai, a malaila e hele ai.
6 That is the place where you must bring your sacrifices that will be completely burned on the altar, and your other sacrifices, (your tithes/ten percent of all of your crops), other offerings that you decide to give, and the firstborn animals from your cattle and sheep.
A malaila oukou e lawe aku ai i ka oukou mau mohaikuni, a me ka oukou alana, a me na hapaumi o ko oukou waiwai, a me na mohaihoali a ko oukou lima, a me ko oukou hoohiki ana, a me ka oukou mohaialoha, a me na hanau mua o ka oukou bipi a me ka oukou hipa.
7 There, in the presence of Yahweh our God, who has [greatly] blessed you, you and your families will eat the good things that you have worked to produce, and you will be happy.
A malaila oukou e ai ai imua o Iehova ko oukou Akua; a e olioli oukou ma na mea a pau a ko oukou lima i lawe ai, o oukou, a me ko oukou poe ohua, no ka mea, ua hoopomaikai o Iehova kou Akua ia oe.
8 “[When you are in that land], you must not do some of the things that we have been doing. Until now, you have all been worshiping [Yahweh] the way you wanted to,
Mai hana oukou e like me na mea a pau o kakou i keia la, o kela kanaka keia kanaka ma ka mea pono i kona maka iho.
9 because you have not yet arrived in the land which Yahweh is giving to you, where you will be able to live peacefully.
No ka mea, aole oukou i hiki aku i keia manawa ma kahi e maha'i, a ma ka noho ana a Iehova ko oukou Akua e haawi mai ia oukou.
10 But when you cross the Jordan [River], you will start to live in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you. He will protect you from all your enemies that will surround you, and you will live peacefully/safely.
Aia hele oukou ma kela kapa o Ioredane, a noho oukou ma ka aina a Iehova ko oukou Akua e hoolilo mai ai no oukou, a haawi mai ia i ka maha no oukou i ko oukou poe enemi a puni, a noho oukou me ka maluhia;
11 “Yahweh will choose one place where he wants you to worship him. That is the place to which you must bring all the offerings that I command you to bring: The sacrifices that must be completely burned [on the altar], your other sacrifices, other offerings that you yourselves decide to give, (your tithes/ten percent of all your crops), and all the special offerings that you will solemnly promise to give to Yahweh.
Alaila ma kahi a Iehova ko oukou Akua e wae ai i wahi e hoopaa ai i kona inoa, malaila oukou e lawe aku ai i na mea a pau a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oukou: i ka oukou mohaikuni, a me ka oukou alana, a me ka hapaumi o ko oukou waiwai, a me ka mohaihoali o ko oukou lima, a me ka mea maikai o ko oukou hoohiki ana a oukou i hoohiki ai ia Iehova.
12 Rejoice there in the presence of Yahweh, along with your children, your male and female servants, and the descendants of Levi who live in your towns. Do not forget that the descendants of Levi will not have their own land, like you will have.
A e olioli oukou imua o Iehova ko oukou Akua, o oukou, a me ka oukou mau keikikane, a me ka oukou mau kaikamahine, a me na kauwakane a oukou, a me ka oukou mau kauwawahine, a me ka Levi e noho pu ana me oukou; no ka mea, aohe ona kuleana, aohe ona aina hooili me oukou.
13 Be sure that you do not offer sacrifices anywhere you want to.
E malama ia oe iho, o kaumaha aku auanei oe i kau mau mohaikuni ma na wahi a pau au e ike ai;
14 You must offer them only in the place that Yahweh will choose for you, in an area that belongs to one of your tribes. That is the only place where he wants you to offer sacrifices that will be completely burned [on the altar], and to do the other things that I am commanding you to do [when you worship him].
Aka, ma kahi a Iehova e wae ai iloko o kekahi o kou mau ohana, malaila oe e kaumaha aku ai i kau mau mohaikuni, a malaila oe e hana aku ai i na mea a pau a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe.
15 “However, you will be permitted to kill and eat the meat of your animals in the places where you live. As often as you want to, you may eat the meat of the animals that Yahweh our God will bless you by giving them to you. Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God and those who have not done things like that may all eat that meat, just like you would eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
Aka, o ka mea a pau a kou naau e makemake ai, he pono e kalua oe a e ai hoi i ka io ma kou mau ipuka a pau, e like me ka pomaikai a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai ia oe: o ke kanaka haumia, a me ke kanaka maemae e ai no oia ia mea, e like me ka ke gazela, a me ka ka dea.
16 But you must not eat the blood [of any animals]; you must let the blood drain onto the ground [before you cook the meat].
Aole nae oukou e ai i ke koko, e ninini oukou ia mea ma ka lepo e like me ka wai.
17 In the places where you live, you must not eat the things that you are offering [to Yahweh]: You must not eat the (tithes/ten percent) of your grain or of your wine, or of your [olive] oil, or the firstborn of your cattle and sheep, or the offerings that you yourselves decide to give to Yahweh, or any other offerings.
Mai ai oe ma kou mau ipuka i ka hapaumi o kau palaoa, a me kau waina, a me kau aila, a me ka hanau mua a kau poe bipi a me kau poe hipa, aole hoi i kekahi o na mea a pau au i hoohiki ai, a me kau mohaialoha, a me ka mohaihoali a kou lima.
18 Instead, you and your children and your male and female servants and the descendants of Levi who live in your towns must go to the place that he has chosen and eat those things there in the presence of Yahweh. And you should rejoice in the presence of Yahweh about everything that you do.
Aka, e ai oe ia mau mea imua o Iehova kou Akua, ma kahi a Iehova kou Akua i wae ai, o oe, a me kau keikikane, a me kau kaikamahine, a me kau kauwakane, a me kau kauwawahine, a me ka mamo a Levi ma kou mau ipuka: a e olioli oe imua o Iehova kou Akua i na mea a pau a kou lima e lawe ai.
19 Be sure that you take care of the descendants of Levi all during the time that you live in your land.
E malama ia oe iho, o hoowahawaha auanei oe i ka Levi i na la a pau o kou ola ana ma ka honua.
20 “When Yahweh our God gives you much more land [than you will have when you first occupy it], which is what he has promised to do, and you say ‘I would like some meat to eat’ because you are craving/wanting some meat, you will be permitted to eat meat whenever you want to.
Aia hooakea mai o Iehova kou Akua i kou mokuna, e like me kana i olelo mai ai ia oe; a e i iho oe, E ai au i ka io, no ka mea, ke ake nei kou naau e ai i ka io; e ai no oe i ka io, i ka mea a pau a kou naau i makemake ai.
21 If the place that Yahweh our God chooses to be the place for you to worship him is far [from where you live], you are permitted to kill some of your cattle or sheep that Yahweh has given to you, and you may eat that meat at the places where you live, just like I have told you to do.
Ina paha loihi ia oe ka wahi a Iehova kou Akua i wae ai e hoopaa i kona inoa malaila; alaila e kalua oe i ka mea o kau poe bipi a me kau poe hipa a Iehova i haawi mai ai ia oe, e like me ka'u i kauoha ai ia oe, a e ai oe ma kou mau ipuka i ka mea a pau a kou naau i makemake ai.
22 Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God, and those who have not done things like that, are all permitted to all eat that meat, just like you would eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
E like me ke gazela a me ka dea i aiia, pela oe e ai ai ia mea: o ke kanaka haumia, a me ke kanaka maemae, e ai no ia mau mea.
23 But be sure that you do not eat the blood [of any animal], because it is the blood that sustains life in living beings, and so you must not eat the life along with the meat.
Aole loa oe e ai i ke koko: no ka mea, o ke koko, oia ke ola, mai ai oe i ke ola me ka io.
24 Do not eat the blood; instead, let it drain onto the ground.
Mai ai oe ia mea: e ninini iho oe ia mea ma ka lepo, me he wai la.
25 If you obey this command and do what Yahweh says is right [for you to do], things will go well for you and for your descendants.
Mai ai oe ia mea; i pomaikai oe, a me kau mau keiki mahope ou, i kau hana ana i ka pono imua o Iehova.
26 “But the sacred offerings that Yahweh has told you to give and the other offerings that you yourselves decide to give, you must take to the place that Yahweh will choose.
O kau mau mea i hoolaaia wale no, a me na mea au i hoohiki ai, oia kau e lawe, a hele ma kahi a Iehova i wae ai.
27 You must offer there the sacrifices that will be completely burned [on Yahweh’s altar]. You must also offer there the sacrifices from which you may eat some of meat after you [kill the animals and] drain out the blood and some of it is thrown on the [sides of the] altar.
A e kaumaha aku oe i kau mau mohaikuni, i ka io a me ke koko maluna o ke kuahu o Iehova kou Akua: a o ke koko o kau mau mohai e nininiia maluna o ke kuahu o Iehova kou Akua, a e ai iho oe i ka io.
28 Faithfully obey all these things that I have commanded you. If you do that, things will go well forever for you and your descendants, because you will be doing what Yahweh our God says is right [for you to do] and what pleases him.
E malama, e hoolohe hoi i neia mau olelo a pau a'u e kauoha nei ia oe, i pomaikai ai oe a me kau mau keiki mahope ou i ka manawa a pau, i kau hana ana i ka maikai a me ka pono imua o Iehova kou Akua.
29 “When you enter the land that you will occupy, as you advance, Yahweh our God will get rid of the people-groups that live there.
Aia hooki aku o Iehova kou Akua i na lahuikanaka mai kou alo aku, kahi au e hele e hooliloia'i lakou nou, a lilo lakou nou, a noho iho oe ma ko lakou aina:
30 After he does that, be sure that you do not [worship the gods] that they have been worshiping, because if you do that, you will be caught in the same trap [that they were caught in] [MET]. Do not ask anyone about those gods, saying, ‘Tell me how they worshiped their gods, in order that I can [worship them] also.’
E malama oe ia oe iho, i hihia ole ai oe mamuli o lakou, mahope o ko lakou lukuia, mai kou alo aku; a i ninau ole ai oe no ko lakou mau akua, i ka i ana ae, Pehea la keia mau lahuikanaka i malama'i i ko lakou mau akua? a pela hoi wau e hana'i.
31 Do not try to worship Yahweh our God like they have worshiped their gods, because when they worship them, they do disgusting things, things that Yahweh hates. [The worst thing that they do is] that they sacrifice their own children and burn them [on their altars].
Mai hana aku oe ia Iehova kou Akua pela: ua hana lakou no ko lakou akua i na mea ino a pau a Iehova i inaina ai; no ka mea, ua puhi lakou i ka lakou keikikane, a me ka lakou kaikamahine i ke ahi no ko lakou mau akua.
32 “Be sure to do everything that I have commanded you to do. Do not add anything to these commands, and do not take anything away from them.”
O ka mea a pau a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oukou, o ka oukou ia e malama pono ai; mai hooi aku, aole hoi e hoemi iho ia mea.
