Deuteronomy 26
1 “After you occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, and you (have settled/are living) there,
A IA hiki aku oe ma ka aina a Iehova kou Akua e haawi mai ai nou, a lilo ia nou, a noho iho oe malaila;
2 [each of] you must take some of the first crops that you harvest, put them in a basket, and take them to the place that Yahweh will have chosen for you to worship [MTY] there.
E kii oe i kekahi o na hua mua a pau o ka honua, a o kau ia e lawe no ka aina a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai nou, a e waiho iloko o ka hinai, a e hele aku oe ma kahi a Iehova kou Akua i wae ai e hoopaa i kona inoa malaila.
3 Go to the Supreme Priest who is serving at that time and say to him, ‘[By giving you this first part of my harvest] today, I am declaring to Yahweh our God that I have [picked it in] the land that he vowed to our ancestors to give to us.’
A e hele oe i ke kahuna e noho ana ia mau la, a e i aku ia ia, Ke hooia aku nei au ia Iehova kou Akua i keia la, no ka mea, ua hiki mai nei au ma ka aina a Iehova i hoohiki ai i ko kakou mau kupana e haawi mai no kakou.
4 Then the priest must take the basket of food from your hand and put it on the altar where sacrifices are offered to Yahweh our God.
A e lawe ke kahuna i ka hinai mai kou lima ae, a e waiho ia imua o ke kuahu o Iehova kou Akua.
5 Then in Yahweh’s presence you must say this: ‘My ancestor [Jacob] was a man from Aram/Syria who was continually wandering [from one place to another]. He took his family to Egypt. They were a small group [when they went there], but they lived there and their descendants became a very large/populous [DOU] and powerful nation.
A e hai aku oe me ka olelo aku imua o Iehova kou Akua, He kanaka kuewa kou makuakane no Suria, a iho no ia i Aigupita, a noho mahihini malaila, he poe uuku, a lilo ia malaila i lahuikanaka nui, ikaika, a lehulehu.
6 Then the people of Egypt treated them very harshly [DOU], and they forced them to become their slaves and to work very hard.
A hana ino mai ko Aigupita ia kakou, a hooluhi mai ia kakou, a haawi mai ia kakou i na hana kaumaha loa.
7 Then our ancestors cried out to you, Yahweh our God, and you heard them. You saw that they were suffering, and that they were forced to work very hard, and were being oppressed.
A kahea aku kakou ia Iehova ke Akua o ko kakou mau kupuna, hoolohe mai no o Iehova i ko kakou leo, a nana mai ia i ko kakou luhi, a me ka kakou hana, a me ko kakou kaumaha.
8 Then by your great power [MTY] and by performing many kinds of miracles [DOU], and other terrifying things, you brought them out of Egypt.
A lawe mai o Iehova ia kakou mai Aigupita mai me ka lima ikaika, a me ka lima kakauha, a me ka mea weliweli nui, a me na hoailona, a me na mea kupanaha.
9 You brought us to this land and gave it to us, a land that is very fertile [IDM].
A ua lawe mai hoi oia ia kakou ma keia wahi, a ua haawi ia kakou i keia aina, he aina e kahe ana o ka waiu a me ka meli.
10 So now, Yahweh, I have brought to you the first part of the harvest from the land that I received.’ Then you must set the basket down in Yahweh’s presence and worship him there.
Eia hoi, ua lawe mai nei au, e Iehova, i ka hua mua o ka aina au i haawi mai ai ia'u. A e waiho oe ia mea imua o Iehova kou Akua, a e hoomana aku imua o Iehova kou Akua.
11 And you must celebrate [by eating a meal together to thank] Yahweh our God for all the good things that he has given to you and to your family. And you must invite the descendants of Levi and the foreigners who are living among you to also rejoice [and eat] with you.
A e olioli oe i na mea maikai a pau a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai ia oe, a me ko ka hale ou, o oe, a me ka Levi, a me ka malihini iwaena ou.
12 Every third year, you must bring to the descendants of Levi and to the foreigners [who are living among you] and the orphans and the widows (a tithe/10 percent) of your crops, in order that in every town they will have plenty to eat.
Aia hoopau oe i ka hookupu ana i ka hapaumi a pau o kau mea i loaa i ke kolu o ka makahiki, oia ka makahiki hookupu i ka hapaumi; a haawi aku i ka Levi a i ka malihini, a i ka mea makua ole, a me ka wahinekanemake, i ai iho ai lakou ma kou mau ipuka a maona;
13 Then you must say to Yahweh, ‘I have brought to you, from my house, all of the sacred tithe [from my harvest this year]. I am giving it to the descendants of Levi, to the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows, as you commanded us to do. I have not disobeyed any of your commands [about the tithes], and I have not forgotten any of your commands [about tithes].
Alaila e olelo aku oe imua o Iehova kou Akua, Ua lawe mai nei au i ka mea i hoolaaia mai ko'u hale mai, a ua haawi aku hoi i ka Levi, a i ka malihini, a i ka mea makua ole, a i ka wahinekanemake, e like me kau mau kauoha a pau au i kanoha mai ai ia'u; aole au i hoohala i kau mau kauoha, aole hoi au i hoopoina;
14 [I declare that] I have not eaten any food from the tithe while I was mourning [for someone who died]. And I have not touched any of it while I was unacceptable to you; I have not offered any of it to [spirits of] dead people. Yahweh, I have obeyed you and done everything that you have commanded us [concerning the tithe].
Aole au i ai i kekahi o ia mea i kuu makena ana, aole au i lawe i kekahi o ia mea no ka mea haumia, aole hoi au i haawi i kekahi o ia mea no ka mea i make; ua hoolohe no au i ka leo o Iehova ko'u Akua, a ua hana au e like me na mea a pau au i kauoha mai ai ia'u.
15 So [please] look down from your holy place in heaven, and bless us, your Israeli people. Also bless this very fertile [IDM] land which you have given to us, which is what you promised our ancestors that you would do.’
E nana mai oe mai kou wahi hoano, mai ka lani mai, a e hoomaikai mai i kou poe kanaka, i ka Iseraela, a me ka aina au i haawi mai ai no makou, e like me au i hoohiki ai i ko makou mau kupuna, he aina e kahe ana o ka waiu a me ka meli.
16 Today Yahweh our God is commanding you to obey all these rules and regulations. So obey them faithfully, with your entire inner being [DOU].
I keia la, ua kauoha mai o Iehova kou Akua ia oe e hana ma keia mau kanawai, a me ua olelo kupaa; e malama hoi oe a e hana ma ia mau mea me kou naau a pau, a me kou uhane a pau.
17 Today you have declared that Yahweh is your God, and that you will conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and that you will obey all his commands and rules and regulations, and that you will do all that he tells you to do.
I keia la ua hooia aku oe ia Iehova, i Akua nou, a e hele ma kona mau aoao, a e malama i kona mau kanawai, a i kana mau kauoha, a me kana mau olelo kupaa, a e hoolohe i kona leo.
18 And today Yahweh has declared that you are his people, which is what he promised that you would be, and he commands you to obey all his commands.
A ua hooia mai o Iehova ia oe i keia la, he poe kanaka ponoi nona, e like me kana i olelo mai ai ia oe, i malama ai oe i kana mau kauoha a pau:
19 If you do that, he will cause you to become greater than any other nation that he has established, and he will enable you to praise him and honor him [DOU]. You will truly belong to Yahweh our God, which is what he has promised.”
A e hookiekie mai oia ia oe maluna o na lahuikanaka a pau ana i hana'i, ma ka hoolea ana, a ma ka inoa, a ma ka hoomaikai; a e lilo oe i poe kanaka hemolele no Iehova, e like me kana i olelo mai ai.
