Deuteronomy 31
1 When Moses/I finished saying all that to the Israeli people,
HELE aku la o Mose a hai aku la i keia mau olelo i ka Iseraela a pau.
2 he/I said to them, “Now I am 120 years old. I am no longer able to go everywhere [that you go] (OR, to be your leader). Furthermore, Yahweh has told me that I will not cross the Jordan [River].
I aku la oia ia lakou, Hookahi o'u haneri makahiki a me ka iwakalua i keia la; aole e hiki hou ia'u ke hele aku iwaho, a me ka hoi mai iloko: ua olelo mai no hoi o Iehova ia'u, Aole oe e hele ma kela aoao o keia Ioredane.
3 But Yahweh our God will go ahead of you. He will [enable you to] destroy the nations that are living there, in order that you can occupy their land. Joshua will be your leader, which is what Yahweh already told me.
O Iehova kou Akua, nana no e hele mamua ou, a e luku aku ia i kela mau lahuikanaka mai kou alo aku, a e lilo lakou nou: a o Iosua, oia ke hele mamua ou e like me ka Iehova i olelo mai ai.
4 Yahweh will do to those nations what he did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amor people-group when he destroyed their armies [MTY].
E hana aku o Iehova ia lakou e like me kana i hana aku ai ia Sihona a me Oga, na'lii o ka Amora, a me ka aina o laua ana i luku aku ai.
5 Yahweh will enable you to conquer those nations, but you must [kill all of the people of those nations, which is] what I have commanded you to do.
A e hoolilo mai o Iehova ia lakou imua o ko oukou maka, a e hana aku oukou ia lakou e like me na kauoha a pau a'u i kauoha aku ai ia oukou.
6 Be brave and confident. Do not be afraid of those people. [Do not forget that] it is Yahweh our God who will go with you. He will always help [LIT] you and never abandon you.”
E ikaika oukou, a e koa hoi; mai hopohopo oukou, mai makau ia lakou; no ka mea, o Iehova kou Akua, oia ke hele pu me oe; aole ia e kuu aku ia oe, aole hoi e haalele ia oe.
7 Then Moses/I summoned Joshua, and while all the Israeli people were listening, he/I said to him, “Be brave and confident. You are the one who will lead these people into the land that Yahweh promised to our ancestors that he would give to them, and you will enable them to occupy it.
Hea aku la o Mose ia Iosua, i aku la ia ia imua o ka Iseraela a pau, E ikaika oe, e koa hoi: no ka mea, o oe ke hele pu me keia poe kanaka ma ka aina a Iehova i hoohiki ai i ko lakou mau kupuna e haawi mai no lakou nei; a nau no lakou e hoonoho malaila.
8 It is Yahweh who will go ahead of you. He will be with you. He will always help [LIT] you. He will never abandon you. So do not be afraid or dismayed.”
A o Iehova, oia ke hele imua ou: oia pu kekahi me oe, aole oia e kuu aku, aole hoi e haalele ia oe: mai makau oe, mai hopohopo.
9 Moses/I wrote down all these laws [on two scrolls] and gave [one scroll] to the priests, who carried the chest containing the Ten Commandments, and [gave the other scroll] to the Israeli elders.
A kakau iho la o Mose i keia kanawai, a haawi aku la i na kahuna i na mamo a Levi, nana i hali ka pahu berita o Iehova, a i na lunakahiko a pau o ka Iseraela.
10 Moses/I told them, “At the end of every seven years, at the time that all debts are canceled, [read this to the people] during the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters.
Kauoha aku la o Mose ia lakou, i aku la, I ka pau ana o na makahiki pahiku, ma ka ahaaina o ka makahiki o ke kala ana aku, ma ka ahaaina kauhalelewa,
11 Read it to all the Israeli people when they gather at the place that Yahweh chooses for them to worship him.
Aia hele mai ka Iseraela a pau e hoikeia imua o Iehova kou Akua, ma kahi ana e wae ai, e heluhelu oe i keia kanawai imua o ka Iseraela a pau, i lohe lakou.
12 Gather together everyone—men, women, children, even the foreigners [who are living] in your towns—in order that they may hear [these laws] and learn to revere Yahweh our God, and to faithfully obey everything that is written in these laws.
E houluulu i na kanaka, na kane, na wahine, a me na kamalii, a me kou malihini ma kou mau ipuka, i lohe lakou, a i ao lakou, a i makau hoi lakou ia Iehova ko oukou Akua, a i malama a i hana hoi i na olelo a pau o keia kanawai:
13 [If they do that], your descendants who have never known these laws will hear them and will also learn to revere Yahweh our God, during all the years that they live in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
A i lohe hoi ka lakou poe keiki ike ole, a i ao hoi e makau ia Iehova ko oukou Akua i na la a pau o ko oukou ola ana ma ka aina, kahi a oukou e hele aku nei ma kela kapa o Ioredane e noho.
14 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen carefully. You will soon die. Summon Joshua, and you go to the Sacred Tent with him, in order that I may appoint him [to be the new leader].” So Joshua and Moses/I went to the Sacred Tent.
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, Aia hoi, ua kokoke nei kou manawa e make ai: e kahea aku oe ia Iosua, a e ku mai olua ma ka halelewa o ke anaina, i kauoha aku ai au ia ia. Hele aku la o Mose laua o Iosua, a ku aku la laua ma ka halelewa o ke anaina.
15 There Yahweh appeared to them/us in a pillar of cloud, and that cloud was close to the door of the tent.
Ikea mai la o Iehova ma ka halelewa maloko o ke ao; ku iho la ke kia ao maluna o ka puka o ka halelewa.
16 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “You will soon die [EUP]. Then these people will become unfaithful [MET] to me. They will abandon me and (break/stop obeying) the agreement that I made with them. They will begin to worship the foreign/pagan gods [that are worshiped by the people] of the land that they will enter.
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, Aia hoi, e hiamoe iho oe me ou poe kupuna; a e ku ae auanei keia poe kanaka iluna, a e moe kolohe lakou mamuli o na akua o na kanaka e ma ka aina a lakou e hele aku nei a noho iwaena o lakou, a e haalele mai lakou ia'u, a e uhai i ka'u berita a'u i kauoha aku ai ia lakou.
17 When that happens, I will become very angry with them. I will abandon them [DOU] and I will no longer help them [IDM], and I will destroy them {they will be destroyed}. Many terrible things will happen to them, with the result that they will say, ‘[We are certain that] [RHQ] these things are happening to us because our God is no longer with us.’
Alaila e hoaaia'ku ko'u inaina ia lakou ia la, a e haalele aku au ia lakou, e huna au i ko'u maka mai o lakou aku, a e pau lakou i ka lukuia, a e loohia lakou e na ino a me na pilikia he nui loa; nolaila, e olelo mai ai lakou ia la, Aole anei i hiki mai keia mau mea ino iluna o kakou, no ka noho ole mai o ko kakou Akua iwaena o kakou?
18 And because of all the evil things that they will have done, and [especially because] they will have started to worship other gods, I will refuse to help [IDM] them.
He oiaio no, e huna au i ko'u maka ia la, no na ino a pau a lakou e hana mai ai, i ko lakou huliia'na i na akua e.
19 “So, [I am going to give you] a song. Write it [on a scroll] and teach it to the Israeli people and cause them to memorize it. It will be like a witness that accuses them.
No ia hoi, e kakau oukou i keia mele no oukou, a e ao aku ia i na mamo a Iseraela: e haawi aku ia mea i ko lakou waha, i lilo ai keia mele i mea hoike no'u e ku e i na mamo a Iseraela.
20 I am about to take them into a very fertile [IDM] land, a land that I solemnly promised their ancestors that I would give to them. There they will have plenty to eat, with the result that their [stomachs] will [always] be full and they will become fat. But then they will turn to other gods and start to worship them, and they will despise me and (break/stop obeying) the agreement that I made with them.
A i ka manawa e lawe aku ai au ia lakou ma ka aina, a'u i hoohiki ai i ko lakou mau kupuna, e kahe ana o ka waiu a me ka meli; a ai iho lakou a maona, a momona; alaila e huli ae lakou i na akua e, a e malama ia lakou, a e hoowahawaha mai ia'u, a e uhai i kuu berita.
21 And they will experience many terrible disasters. After that happens, their descendants will never forget this song, and it will be like a witness [that says, ‘Now you know why Yahweh punished your ancestors].’ I will soon take them into the land that I vowed that I would give to them; but now, before I do that, I know what they are thinking [that they will do when they are living there].”
Aia loaa ia lakou na mea ino he nui loa, a me na mea pilikia, alaila lilo keia mele i mea hoike imua o lakou; aole e hoopoinaia ma ka waha o ka lakou mamo: no ka mea, ua ike no au ano i ko lakou manao a lakou e hana aku ai mamua o kuu lawe ana'ku ia lakou ma ka aina a'u i hoohiki ai.
22 So on the day that [Yahweh gave Moses/me this song], he/I wrote it down, and he/I taught it to the Israeli people.
Kakau iho o Mose i keia mele ia la, a ao aku la ia i na mamo a Iseraela.
23 Then Yahweh (appointed/set apart) Joshua and said to him, “Be brave and confident, because you will lead the Israeli people into the land that I vowed that I would give to them. And I will be with you.”
A kauoha aku la oia ia Iosua i ke keiki a Nuna, i aku la, E ikaika oe, e koa hoi; no ka mea, nau no e hookomo na mamo a Iseraela iloko o ka aina a'u i hoohiki ai ia lakou; a owau pu kekahi me oe.
24 Then Moses/I finished writing on a scroll all the laws that Yahweh had told to him/me.
A pau ae la ka Mose kakau ana i na olelo o keia kanawai iloko o ka buke, a hooki ae la;
25 Then Moses/I told the descendants of Levi, who were carrying the Sacred Chest that contained the Ten Commandments,
Kauoha aku la o Mose i ka poe Levi, nana i hali ka pahuberita o Iehova, i aku la,
26 “Take this scroll on which these laws [are written], and place it beside the Sacred Chest that contains the agreement that Yahweh our God made with you, in order that it may remain there to testify [about what Yahweh will do] to the people [if they disobey him].
E lawe i ka buke o keia kanawai, a e waiho oukou ia maloko o ka pahu berita o Iehova ko oukou Akua, i mea hoike ia oe malaila.
27 [I say this] because I know that these people are very stubborn [DOU]. They have rebelled against Yahweh all during the time that I have been [with them], and they will rebel much more after I die!
No ka mea, ua ike au i kou kipi ana, a me kou a-i oolea: aia hoi, i ko'u ola pu ana me oukou i keia la, ua kipi oukou ia Iehova; a e oiaio hoi mahope o kuu make ana.
28 So gather all the elders of the tribes and your officials, in order that I can tell them the words [of this song], and request all those who are in heaven and on the earth to be witnesses to testify against these people.
E hoakoakoa mai oukou io'u nei i na lunakahiko o ko oukou mau hanauna, a me na luna o oukou, i olelo aku ai au iloko o ko lakou pepeiao i keia mau olelo; a kahea aku au i ka lani a me ka honua e hoike mai ia lakou.
29 I say that because I know that after I die, the people will become very wicked. They will turn away from doing everything that I have commanded them to do. And in the future, because of all the evil things that they will do, they will cause Yahweh to become angry with them. And he will cause them to experience disasters.”
No ka mea, ua ike no au, aia mahope o kuu make ana, e hoohaumia loa oukou ia oukou iho, a e huli ae oukou mai ka aoao aku a'u i kauoha aku ai ia oukou; a e hiki mai ka hewa ia oukou i na la mahope; no ka mea, e hana hewa auanei oukou imua o Iehova, e hoonaukiuki aku ia ia ma ka hana a ko oukou lima.
30 Then, while all the Israeli people listened, Moses/I sang/recited this entire song to them:
A olelo aku o Mose maloko o na pepeiao o ke anainakanaka a pau o ka Iseraela i na huaolelo o keia mele a pau loa.
