Deuteronomy 16
1 “[Each year] honor Yahweh our God by celebrating the Passover [Festival] in the month of Abib [in early spring]. It was on a night in that month that Yahweh rescued your ancestors from Egypt.
E HOOMANAO oe i ka malama o Abiba, a e malama oe i ka moliaola na Iehova kou Akua: no ka mea, o Abiba ka malama a Iehova kou Akua i lawe mai ai ia oe mailoko mai o Aigupita i ka po.
2 [In order to celebrate that festival], go to the place that Yahweh will choose [for you to worship him], and offer [there one young animal] from your cattle or your sheep to be the Passover sacrifice, to honor Yahweh [MTY].
E kalua oe i ka moliaola na Iehova kou Akua, no ka poe hipa a me ka bipi ma kahi a Iehova e wae ai e hoopaa i kona inoa malaila.
3 [When you eat the Passover meal], the bread that you eat must not have yeast in it. You must eat this kind of bread, which will be called the bread of suffering/misery, for seven days. This is to help you to remember all during the time that you are alive that when your ancestors left Egypt, [where they were suffering because they were slaves], they left very quickly. [They did not put in yeast and wait for the dough to swell up].
Mai ai pu oe me ia i ka berena hu: i na la ehiku e ai oe i ka berena hu ole me ia, i ka berena o ka poino; no ka mea, ua hele mai oe mai ka aina o Aigupita mai me ka lalelale, i hoomanao oe i ka la au i hele mai ai mailoko mai o ka aina o Aigupita i na la a pau o kou ola ana.
4 [During that festival], you must not have any yeast in any house in your land for seven days. Furthermore, the meat [of the animals] that you sacrifice on the evening of the first day [of the Passover Festival must be eaten during that night]; do not allow any of it to remain until the next day.
I na la ehiku aole e ikeia ka berena hu me oe ma kou mau wahi a pau; aole e waiho oe a ao ka po i kekahi io o ka mea au i kalua ai i ka la mua i ke ahiahi.
5 “To honor Yahweh our God, you must offer the Passover sacrifice only at the place that he chooses for you [to worship him]; do not offer that sacrifice in any other town in the land that Yahweh is giving to you. Offer that sacrifice when the sun is setting, at the same time of day that your ancestors [started to] leave Egypt.
Mai pepehi oe i ka moliaola ma kou mau ipuka a pau a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai ia oe:
Aka, ma kahi a Iehova kou Akua i wae ai e hoopaa i kona inoa, malaila oe e pepehi ai i ka moliaola i ke ahiahi, i ka napoo ana o ka la, i ka manawa au i puka ae mai Aigupita mai.
7 Boil [the meat] and eat it at the place [of worship] that Yahweh our God chooses. The next morning, you may return to your tents.
A e hoolapalapa oe ia mea, a e ai iho ma kahi a Iehova kou Akua e wae ai: a kakahiaka e huli ae oe a hoi i kou mau halelewa.
8 Each day for six days the bread that you eat must have no yeast in it. On the seventh day, you must all gather to worship Yahweh our God. [It will be a day of rest]; you must not do any work on that day.”
I na la eono oe e ai ai i ka berena hu ole; a i ka hiku o ka la, he halawai no Iehova kou Akua; mai hana oe i ka hana.
9 “[Each year], from the day that you start to harvest your grain, count seven weeks.
E helu oe i na hebedoma ehiku nou; mai ka manawa e hoomaka'i e oki i ka palaoa, e hoomaka'i oe e helu i na hebedoma ehiku.
10 Then, to honor Yahweh our God, celebrate the Harvest Festival. Do that by bringing to him an offering [of grain]. Yahweh has blessed you [by causing it to grow in your fields during that year]. If you had a big harvest, bring a big offering. If you had a small harvest, bring a small offering.
A e malama oe i ka ahaaina o na hebedoma na Iehova kou Akua me ka makanaaloha ma kou lima au e haawi wale aku, e like me ka Iehova kou Akua i hoopomaikai ai ia oe.
11 [Each married couple] should be joyful in the presence of Yahweh. Their children, their servants, the descendants of Levi [who are in that town], and the foreigners, orphans, and widows [who are living among you], should also be joyful. Bring those offerings to the place of worship that Yahweh will choose.
A e olioli oe imua o Iehova kou Akua, o oe, a me kau keikikane, a me kau kaikamahine, a me kau kauwakane a me kau kauwawahine, a me ka Levi iloko o kou mau ipuka, a me ka malihini, a me ka mea makua ole, a me ka wahinekanemake me oe, ma kahi a Iehova kou Akua i wae ai e hoopaa i kona inoa malaila.
12 [“When you celebrate these festivals] by obeying these commands, remember that your ancestors were previously slaves in Egypt.”
A e hoomanao hoi oe, he kauwa luhi no oe ma Aigupita; a e malama, e hana hoi i keia mau kanawai.
13 “[Each year], after you have threshed all your grain and pressed [the juice from] all your grapes, you must celebrate the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters for seven days.
E malama oe i ka ahaaina kauhalelewa i na la ehiku, mahope o kau ohi ana i kau palaoa a me kau waina.
14 [Each married couple] along with their children, their servants, the descendants of Levi [who are in that town], and the foreigners, orphans, and widows [who are living among you], should be joyful in the presence of Yahweh.
A e olioli oe i kau ahaaina, o oe, a me kau keikikane, me kau kaikamahine, a me kau kauwakane, a me kau kauwawahine, a me ka Levi, a me ka malihini, a o ka mea makua ole, a me ka wahinekanemake iloko o kou mau ipuka.
15 Honor Yahweh our God by celebrating this festival for seven days in the place that Yahweh chooses [for you to worship him]. You should all be joyful, because Yahweh will have blessed your harvest and all the other work that you have done.
I na la ehiku oe e ahaaina ai na Iehova kou Akua, ma kahi a Iehova i wae ai; no ka mea, e hoomaikai o Iehova kou Akua ia oe, ma kau loaa ana a pau, a ma na hana a pau a kou lima; a e olioli nui no oe.
16 “So, each year all of you Israeli men must gather [with your families] to worship Yahweh our God at the place that he will choose, [to celebrate three festivals]: The Passover Festival, the Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters. Each of you men must bring [LIT] an offering [for Yahweh to these festivals]
Ekolu manawa i ka makahiki hookahi e hoikeia na kane a pau ou imua o Iehova kou Akua, ma kahi ana i wae ai: i ka ahaaina berena hu ole, i ka ahaaina o na hebedoma, a me ka ahaaina kauhalelewa: aole e hoike wale ia o lakou imua o Iehova;
17 in proportion to the blessings that Yahweh has given you [during that year].”
O kela kanaka keia kanaka me ka makana a kona lima, e like me ka pomaikai a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai ia oe.
18 “Appoint judges and other officials throughout your tribes, in all the towns [in the land] that Yahweh our God is giving to you. They must judge people fairly/justly.
A e hoonoho oe i na lunakanawai a me na ilamuku ma kou mau ipuka a pau a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai nou ma kou mau ohana, a e hooponopono lakou i na kanaka me ka hoopono pololei.
19 They must not judge unjustly. They must not favor one person more than another. The judges must not accept bribes, because if a judge accepts a bribe, even if he is wise and honest, it will be very difficult for him to judge fairly [IDM]; [he will do what the person who gave him the bribe wants him to do and declare that] the righteous/innocent people [must be punished].
Mai pale ae oe i ka pono, aole hoi e nana aku i na maka, aole hoi oe o lawe i ke kipe; no ka mea, ke hoomakapo ke kipe i na maka o ka poe naauao, a ke hoololi ae i na mea o ka poe pono.
20 You must be completely fair and just [DOU], in order that you will enter and occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”
O ka pono io kau e hahai ai, i ola'i oe, a i hooliloia'i nou ka aina a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai ia oe.
21 “When you make an altar to worship Yahweh our God, do not put next to it any wooden statue [that represents] the goddess Asherah.
Mai kanu oe i ululaau o kela laau o keia laau nou e kokoke ana i ke kuahu o Iehova kou Akua au e hana'i nou.
22 And do not set up any [stone] pillar [to worship any idol, because] Yahweh hates them.”
Mai kukulu hoi oe i kii nou, ka mea ia a Iehova kou Akua e inaina ai.
