Deuteronomy 30
1 “I have now told you about the ways that Yahweh our God will bless you [if you obey him] and the ways that he will curse you [if you disobey him]. I am saying that you must choose which you want. But when [you choose not to obey his laws], some day you will be living in the countries to which he will scatter you, and you will remember [what I told you].
A IA i ka manawa e hiki mai ai maluna ou keia mau mea a pau, ka pomaikai a me ka poino a'u i hoakaka aku ai imua ou, a e hoomanao oe iwaena o na lahuikanaka, kahi a Iehova kou Akua i hookuke aku ai ia oe:
2 Then, if you return to Yahweh our God and faithfully [IDM] obey all that I have today commanded you to do,
A hoi hou mai oe ia Iehova kou Akua, a hoolohe i kona leo e like me na mea a pau a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la, o oe a me kau mau keiki, me kou naau a pau a me kou uhane a pau;
3 he will be merciful to you. He will bring you back from the nations to which he scattered you, and he will cause you to be prosperous again.
Alaila e hoohuli aku o Iehova kou Akua i kou pio ana, a e aloha mai ia oe, a e hoi hou mai ia i ou la, a e hoakoakoa mai ia oe mai na lahuikanaka a pau mai, kahi a Iehova kou Akua i hoopuehu aku ai ia oe.
4 Even if you have been scattered to the most distant places on the earth, Yahweh our God will gather you from there and bring you back [to your land].
Ina i kipakuia kekahi o kou poe ma ka palena o ka lani, e houluulu o Iehova kou Akua ia oe mai laila mai, a e lawe mai ia oe mai laila mai.
5 He will enable you to possess again the land where your ancestors lived. And he will cause you to be more prosperous and more numerous than you are now.
A e lawe mai o Iehova kou Akua ia oe maloko o ka aina a kou poe kupuna i noho ai, a e lilo ia nou; a e hana maikai mai oia ia oe, a e hoonui aku oia ia oe mamua o kou poe kupuna.
6 Yahweh our God will change [MET] your inner beings, with the result that you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do. And then you will continue to live in that land.
A na Iehova kou Akua e okipoepoe mai kou naau a me ka naau o kou hua, e aloha aku ia Iehova kou Akua me kou naau a pau a me kou uhane a pau, i ola oe.
7 Yahweh our God will cause your enemies and those who oppressed/persecuted you to experience all the disasters that I have told you about.
A e hooili aku o Iehova kou Akua i keia mau hoino a pau maluna o kou poe enemi, a maluna o ka poe e inaina mai ia oe, ka poe i hoomaau mai ia oe.
8 You will do what Yahweh wants you to do, as you did before, and you will obey all the commands that I have given to you today.
A e hoi hou mai oe, a e hoolohe i ka leo o Iehova, a e hana i kana mau kauoha a pau a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la.
9 Yahweh our God will cause you to be very successful in all that you do. You will have many children [IDM], and a lot of cattle, and you will have abundant crops. He will again be happy to enable you to prosper, just like he was happy to enable your ancestors to prosper.
Alaila e hoomahuahua mai o Iehova kou Akua ia oe ma na hana a pau a kou lima, a me ka hua o kou kino, a me ka hua o kau poe holoholona, a me ka hua o kou aina, i mea e maikai ai: no ka mea, e olioli hou mai o Iehova maluna on no ka maikai, e like me kona olioli maluna o kou poe kupuna:
10 [But he will do those things only] if you do what he has told you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations that I have written about [in this scroll], and if you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do.
Ke hoolohe oe i ka leo o Iehova kou Akua, e malama i kana mau kauoha, a me kona mau kanawai, i kakauia ma keia buke o ke kanawai, a ke huli hou ae oe ia Iehova kou Akua, mo kou naau a pau, a me kou uhane a pan.
11 The commands that I am giving to you today are not very difficult for you [to obey], and they are not [difficult to know].
No ka mea, o keia kauoha a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la, aole ia i hunaia ia oe, aole hoi e loihi aku ia:
12 They are not in heaven, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
Aole ia ma ka lani, i olelo ae oe, Owai ke pii i ka lani no kakou e lawe mai ia mea no kakou, i hoolohe kakou ia, a i hana hoi?
13 And they are not on the other side of the sea, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
Aole hoi ia ma kela aoao o ka moana, i olelo ae oe, Owai ke holo aku ma kela aoao o ka moana no kakou, a e lawe mai ia mea no kakou, i lohe kakou ia, a i hana hoi?
14 [You do not need to do that because] his commands are here with you. You know them [MTY] and you have (memorized them/put them in your minds). So you can [easily] obey them.
Aka, ua kokoke loa ka olelo ia oe, ma kou waha, a ma kou naau, i hana aku ai oe ia mea.
15 So listen! Today I am allowing you to choose between [doing what is] evil and [doing what is] good, between what will enable you to live [for a long time] and [what will cause you] to die [while you are still young].
E nana, ua waiho ae nei au imua ou i keia la i ke ola a me ka maikai, i ka make a me ka hewa;
16 [I say again], if you obey the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you today, and if you love him and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations, you will prosper and become very numerous, and Yahweh our God will bless you in the land that you are about to enter and possess.
I ka'u kauoha ana'ku ia oe i keia la e aloha aku ia Iehova kou Akua, e hele ma kona aoao, a e malama i kana mau kauoha, a i kona mau kanawai, a me kana mau olelo kupaa, i ola oe, a i mahuahua oe; a e hoomaikai mai o Iehova kou Akua ia oe ma ka aina au e hele aku nei e noho malaila.
17 But if you turn away [from Yahweh] and refuse to heed what he says, and if you allow yourselves to be led away to worship other gods,
A ina e huli ae kou naau, i ole oe e hoolohe, a e koiia aku oe, a hoomana aku oe i na akua e, a e malama ia lakou;
18 I am warning you today that you will [soon] die. You will not live for a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to enter and possess.
Ke hai aku nei au ia oukou i keia la, e make io no oukou, aole e hooloihi oukou i na la ma ka aina, kahi au e hele aku ma kela kapa o Ioredane, e komo a e noho malaila.
19 I am requesting that [everyone in] heaven and the earth testify to you, that today I am allowing you to choose whether you [want to] live for a long time or to soon die, whether [you want Yahweh to] bless you or to curse you. So choose to live.
Ke kahea aku nei au i ka lani a me ka honua e hoike mai no oukou i keia la, ua waiho ae nei au imua ou i ke ola, a me ka make, i ka pomaikai a me ka poino; no ia mea, e koho mai oe i Ke ola, i ola oe a me kou hua.
20 [Choose to] love Yahweh our God, and to obey him [MTY], and to (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him. If you do that, you and your descendants will live for a long time in the land that Yahweh solemnly promised to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give to them.”
I aloha aku hoi oe ia Iehova kou Akua, a i hoolohe oe i kona leo, a hoopili aku oe ia ia; no ka mea, oia kou ola a me ka loihi o kou mau la; i noho ai oe ma ka aina a Iehova i hoohiki ai i ou mau kupuna, ia Aberahama, ia Isaaka a me Iakoba e haawi no lakou.
