Deuteronomy 17
1 “Do not sacrifice to Yahweh our God any cattle or sheep or goats that have any defects, because Yahweh hates that kind of gift.”
MAI kaumaha aku oe ia Iehova kou Akua i ka bipikane a i ka hipa paha, ina he wahi mea kina iki kona, a he wahi mea ino paha: no ka mea, he mea hoowahawahaia Iehova kou Akua.
2 “When you are living in any of the towns [in the land] that Yahweh our God is giving to you, suppose you hear that there is some man or woman who sins by disobeying the agreement that Yahweh has made with you.
Ina paha i loaa iwaena o oukou ma kou mau ipuka a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai ia oe, he kanaka, he wahine paha, i hana hewa imua o Iehova kou Akua i ka pale aku i kana berita,
3 Suppose someone tells you that that person has worshiped and served other gods, or the sun, or the moon, or the stars.
A ua hele aku ia, a ua malama aku i na akua e, a ua hoomana aku ia lakou, i ka la paha, i ka mahina paha, a i kekahi paha o ko ka lani mau mea, a'u i kauoha ole aku ai:
4 If you hear that some person has been doing that, you must investigate it thoroughly. If [you find out that] it is true that this detestable thing has happened in Israel,
A ua haiia ia oe, a ua lohe, a ua ninau pono oe, aia hoi, he oiaio no ia, ua hanaia keia mea ino iloko o ka Iseraela:
5 you must take outside the town the man or woman who has done it. Then you must kill that person by throwing stones at him or her.
Alaila e lawe mai oe i kela kanaka, a i kela wahine paha, i ka mea nana i hana keia mea hewa, ma kou mau ipuka, i ke kanaka, i ka wahine paha, a e hailuku ia lakou i ka pohaku a make lakou.
6 But you are allowed to execute such people only if at least two witnesses testify that they saw them [doing that]. They must not be executed if there is only one witness.
Ma ka waha o na mea hoike elua, ekolu paha mea hoike, e pepehiia'ku ai ka mea pono no ka make; aole e pepehiia oia a make ma ka waha o ka mea hoike hookahi.
7 The (witnesses/ones who saw them doing it) must be the first ones to throw stones at them. Then the other people [MTY] [should throw stones at them]. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you.”
O na lima o na mea hoike ke kau mua maluna ona e pepehi ia ia, a o na lima o na kanaka a pau mahope aku; a pela oe e, hookaawale aku ai i ka hewa mai ou aku la.
8 “Sometimes it will be very difficult for a judge to decide what really happened. He might be trying to decide whether, when someone injured or killed another person, he did it accidentally or deliberately. Or he might be trying to decide if some person is suing another person unfairly. If in some town it is very difficult to know what really happened, with the result that the judge cannot decide it, you should go to the place that Yahweh our God has chosen for you [to worship him].
Ina paha he mea hihia pohihihi ia oe ke hooponopono iwaena o kahi koko a me kahi koko, iwaena o kahi pono a me kekahi pono, iwaena o kahi hahau ana a me kekahi hahau ana, he mea hookolokolo ma kou mau ipuka; alaila e ku oe a pii aku ma kahi a Iehova i wae ai,
9 There you should present the case to the descendants of Levi who are the priests, and to the judge who is serving at that time, and they should decide what should be done.
A hele aku i na kahuna, i ka Levi, a i ka lunakanawai e noho ana o ia mau la, a e ninau aku; a e hai mai lakou ia oe i ka olelo o ka hooponopono ana.
10 After they make their decision, you must do what they tell you to do.
A e hana aku oe e like me ka olelo a lakou e hai mai ai ia oe ma kela wahi a Iehova i wae ai; a e malama e hana aku e like me ka lakou i hai mai ai ia oe;
11 Accept what they have decided, and do what they say that you should do. Do not try to change in any way what they have decided [IDM].
E like me ka olelo o ke kanawai a lakou e hoike mai ai ia oe, a e like me ka hooponopono ana a lakou e olelo mai ai ia oe, pela oe e hana'i: mai huli ae oe mai ka olelo aku a lakou e hoike mai ai ia oe, ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema.
12 You must execute anyone who proudly/arrogantly disobeys the judge or the priest who stands there in the presence of Yahweh [and decides what should be done]. By doing that, you will get rid of evil practices among you.
A o ke kanaka e hana aku me ke kiekie, aole e hoolohe i ke kahuna e ku ana e lawelawe na Iehova kou Akua malaila, aole hoi i ka lunakanawai, e make ua kanaka la; a e lawe aku oe i ka hewa mai ka Iseraela aku.
13 Then [after that person is executed], all the people will hear about it, and they will be afraid, and none of them will act that way any more.”
A e hoolohe na kanaka a pau, e makau, aole e hana hookiekie hou aku.
14 “[I know that] after you have occupied the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, and you are living there, you will say, ‘We should have a king to rule over us, like the kings that other nations around us have.’
A hiki aku oe ma ka aina a Iehova kou Akua e haawi mai ai ia oe, a lilo ia nou, a noho oe ilaila, a e olelo iho oe, E hoonoho au i alii maluna o'u, e like me na lahuikanaka a puni o'u:
15 Yahweh our God will permit you to have a king, but be sure that you appoint someone whom he has chosen. That man must be an Israeli; you must not appoint someone who is a foreigner to be your king.
He oiaio, e hoonoho oe maluna ou i ke alii a Iehova kou Akua e wae ai; o kekahi mai waena mai o kou poe hoahanau kau e hoonoho ai i alii maluna ou: mai hoonoho oe i ke kanaka e maluna ou, i ka mea aole o kou hoahanau.
16 [After he becomes the king], he should not acquire a large number of horses for himself. He should not send people to Egypt to buy horses for him, because Yahweh said to you, ‘Never return to Egypt [for anything’]!
Aka, mai hoomahuahua oia i na lio nona, aole hoi ia e hoihoi i na kanaka i Aigupita, i mea e hoomahuahua ai ia i na lio: no ka mea, ua olelo mai o Iehova ia oukou, Mai hoi hou aku oukou ilaila.
17 And he must not have a lot of wives, because if he did that, they would turn him [SYN] away from [worshiping only] Yahweh. And he must not acquire a lot of silver and gold.
Mai hoomahuahua hoi oia i na wahine nana, o huli ae kona naau; aole hoi ia e hoomahuahua loa ae i ke kala a me ke gula nona.
18 “When he becomes your king, he must [appoint someone to] copy these laws. He must copy them from the scroll that is kept by the priests who are descended from Levi.
A i kona manawa e noho ai maluna o ka nohoalii o kona aupuni, e kakau iho ia nana i kope o keia kanawai, e like me ka buke imua o ka poe kahuna, na mamo a Levi.
19 He must keep this new scroll near him and read from it every day of his life, in order that he may learn to revere Yahweh, and to faithfully obey [DOU] all the rules and regulations [that are written] in these laws.
Me ia no ia e waiho ai, a e heluhelu no oia ia mea i na la a pau o kona oia ana; i aoia'i oia i ka makau ia Iehova kona Akua, e malama i na huaolelo a pau o keia kanawai, a me keia mau kauoha, e hana aku ia mau mea:
20 If he does that, he [SYN] will not think that he is (better/more important) than [IDM] his fellow Israelis, and he will completely obey [LIT] Yahweh’s commands. As a result, he and his descendants will rule as kings in Israel for many years.”
I hookiekie ole ai ia i kona naau maluna o kona poe hoahanau, i huli ole aku ia mai ke kauoha ae, ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema; i mea e nui ai na la o kona aupuni, oia a me kana mau keiki iwaena o ka Iseraela.
