Deuteronomy 32
1 “Listen to me, [all you who are in the] heavens, and [all you who are on the] earth, listen to what I say [MTY].
E HALIU i ka pepeiao, e na lani, na'u e na lani, na'u e oleo aku; E hoolohe mai, e ka honua, i na olelo a kuu waha.
2 I wish/desire that my teaching will fall on you like rain drops or be like dew on the ground, and be like a gentle rain on the young plants, like showers on the grass.
E haule iho kuu ao ana e like me ka ua, E helelei iho ka'u olelo e like me ka hau; Me ka ua liilii hoi maluna o ka launahele hou, A me ka ua nui maluna o ka weuweu;
3 I will praise Yahweh [MTY]. And [all you people should] tell others that our God is very great.
No ka mea, e hai aku au i ka inoa o Iehova, E hoomana aku oukou i ko kakou Akua.
4 He is like a rock [MET] [under which we are protected]; [everything] that he does is perfect and completely just/fair [DOU]. He always does what he says that he will do; he never does anything that is wrong.
Oia ka Pohaku, ua hemolele kana hana ana; He pono hoi kona mau aoao a pau: He Akua olelo oiaio, aole ona hewa, He pono, he pololei hoi ia.
5 “But [you Israeli people] have been very unfaithful to him; because of your sins, you no longer [deserve to] be his children. You are extremely wicked and deceitful [DOU].
Ua hana ino lakou, aole noho i keiki nana, Oia ko lakou kina: He hanauna ino lakou, a me ka lanwili.
6 You foolish and senseless [DOU] people, (is this the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you]?/this is certainly not the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you].) [RHQ] He is your father; he created you [RHQ]; he caused you to become a nation.
Pela anei oukou e hoihoi aku ai ia Iehova, E ka poe kanaka hawawa, a me ka naaupo? Aole anei ia o kou Makua, nana oe i kuai? Aole anei ia i hana mai ia oe, a i hookupaa ia oe?
7 “Think about [what happened] long ago; consider what happened to your ancestors. Ask your parents, and they will inform you; ask the older people, and they will tell you.
E hoomanao i na manawa kahiko, E noonoo i na makahiki o na hanauna a pau: E ninau aku i kou makuakane, nana e hoike mai ia oe; I na lunakahiko ou, na lakou e hai mai ia oe.
8 When God, who is greater than any other god, long ago divided the people into groups, he assigned to the nations their land. He determined where each people-group should live and (assigned to/chose for) each people-group a god/angel.
I ka manawa a ka Mea kiekie i puunaue ai ka aina no na lahuikanaka, I ka manawa ana i hookaawale ai na keiki a Adamu, Hoike mai ia i na palena no na kanaka, E like me ka nui o na mamo a Iseraela.
9 But Yahweh decided that we would be his people; he chose [us, the descendants of] Jacob, to belong to him.
O ke kuleana o Iehova, kona poe kanaka ia; O Iakoba hoi kona hooilina.
10 “He saw [our ancestors] when they were in a desert, wandering in a land (that was desolate/where no people lived). He protected them and took care of them, as every person takes good care of his own eyes. [SIM, IDM]
Loaa oia ia ia ma ka aina nahelehele, A ma ka waonahele neoneo e uwo ana; Alakai aku la ia ia mai o a o, ao mai oia ia ia, Malama mai oia ia ia e like me ke kii onohi o kona maka.
11 [Yahweh protected his people] just like an eagle encourages its babies [to fly] and flutters over them [MET], spreading its wings and catching them [if they start to fall].
Me he aeto la e hoala ana i ko ka punana, A hoolahalahai maluna o na keiki ana, Hohola i kona mau eheu, a lawe ae la ia lakou, A kaikai aku maluna o kona mau eheu;
12 Yahweh was the only one who led them; no other foreign god helped him.
Na Iehova wale no oia i alakai aku, Aole hoi he akua e me ia.
13 “[After they entered the land that Yahweh promised to give to them], Yahweh enabled them to rule the hilly areas; they ate the crops that grew in the fields. They found honey in the rocks, and their olive trees [MTY] grew [even] in stony ground.
Hooholoholo ae la oia ia ia maluna o na wahi kiekie o ka honua, I ai iho ia i ka hua o na mahinaai, Hanai mai oia ia ia i ka meli mailoko mai o ka pohaku, I ka aila hoi mailoko mai o ka pohaku paa:
14 The cows gave them plenty of curds/yogurt, the goats gave them plenty of milk, they had well-fed sheep and cattle, they had very good wheat, and they made delicious wine from their grapes.
Me ka bata o ka bipi, a me ka waiu hipa, A me na keikihipa momona, A me na hipakane no Basana, a me na kaokane, A me ka palaoa maikai loa; Inu iho la oe i ke kokohuawaina, i ka waina maikai.
15 “The Israeli people became rich and prosperous, but then they rebelled against God; they abandoned him, the one who created them, the one who powerfully saves them.
Aka, a momona o Iesuruna, keehi mai la ia: Ua momona oe, ua puipui, ua puni oe i ka momona: Alaila haalele ia i ke Akua, nana ia i hana, Hoowahawaha hoi i ka Pohaku o kona ola.
16 So he abandoned them because they started to worship other/strange gods. Because of their worshiping disgusting idols, he became angry.
Hoolili aku lakou ia ia ma na akua e, Hoonaukiuki lakou ia ia i na mea haumia.
17 They offered sacrifices to gods who were [really] demons, gods that their ancestors had never known; they offered sacrifices to gods that they had recently found out about, gods whom your ancestors had never revered.
Mohai aku lakou na na daimonio, na mea akua ole; Na akua ike ole ia e lakou, Na mea hou, he hou ka puka ana mai, Na mea makau ole ia e na makua o oukou.
18 They forgot [the true] God, the one who protects them [MET], the one who created them and caused them to live.
Manao ole iho la oe i ka Pohaku, nana oe i hoohanau, A hoopoina i ke Akua nana oe i hana.
19 “When Yahweh saw that [they had abandoned him], he became angry, so he rejected [the Israeli people, who are like] his sons and daughters.
A ike mai la o Iehova, inaina mai ia, No ka hoonaukiuki mai o na keikikane, a me na kaikamahine ana.
20 He said, ‘They are very wicked/stubborn people, very unfaithful; so I will no longer help them, and then I will watch and see what happens to them.
I iho la ia, E huna au i ko'u maka mai o lakou aku, E ike auanei au i ke ano o ko lakou hope: No ka mea, he hanauna ino lakou, He poe keiki aole he oiaio iloko o lakou.
21 They made me very angry because of their worshiping idols, which are not really gods; they have caused me to be [jealous [MET] because I want them to worship only me]. So now, in order to cause them to become jealous, I will send [to attack them an army of] a nation of worthless and foolish people.
Hoolili mai lakou ia'u ma ka mea, aole he Akua, Hoonaukiuki mai lakou ia'u ma ko lakou mau mea lapuwale; A na'u hoi lakou e hoolili aku ma ka mea kanaka ole, E hoonaukiuki aku hoi au ia lakou ma ka lahuikanaka naaupo.
22 I will be very angry, and I will destroy them like a fire that will burn on the earth and all the way down to the place where dead people are [MET]; that fire will destroy the earth and everything that grows on it, and it will even burn what is down under the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
No ka mea, ua hoaaia ke ahi e kuu inaina, A e enaena ia a hiki ilalo lilo i ka po, A e hoopau ia i ka honua a me kona hua iho, A e puhi ia i ke ahi i na kumu mauna. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will cause them to experience many disasters; [they will feel as though] [MET] I am shooting all my arrows at them.
E hoiliili au i na ino maluna iho o lakou: E pana aku au i ka'u mau pua ia lakou.
24 They will die because of being hungry and because of having hot fevers and because of terrible diseases; I will send wild animals to attack [MTY] them, and poisonous snakes to bite [MTY] them.
E pau auanei lakou i ka pololi, E aiia hoi lakou i ke ahi wela, a me ka make awaawa: O ka niho o na mea hihiu ka'u e hoouna aku ai maluna o lakou, A me na mea make o na nahesa o ka honua.
25 Outside [their houses, their enemies] will kill them [MTY] with swords, and in their homes, [their enemies will cause] them to be terrified. Their enemies will kill young men and young women, and they will kill infants and old people with gray hair.
O ka pahikaua mawaho, a me ka makau maloko, E luku i ke keikikane, a me ke kaikamahine, I ke keiki waiu, a me ke kanaka poohina.
26 I wanted to scatter the Israeli people to distant countries in order that no one would ever remember them.
I iho la au, E hooauhee aku au ia lakou i na pilikia, E hokai hoi au i ko lakou lono iwaena o kanaka;
27 But [if I did that], their enemies would wrongly boast that they were the ones who had [gotten rid of my people]; they would say, “We [SYN] are the ones who defeated them; it was not Yahweh who has done all these things.”’
Ina aole au i makau i ka inaina o ka poe enemi, O hana ku e mai ko lakou poe enemi, O olelo mai lakou, Na ko makou lima kiekie, Aole na Iehova i hana keia mau mea a pau,
28 You Israelis are a nation of people who do not have any sense. None of you is wise.
No ka mea, he lahuikanaka nele i ka naauao, Aole hoi he ike maloko o lakou.
29 If you were wise, you would understand [why you would be punished]; you would have realized what was going to happen to you.
Ina, i naauao lakou a i ike lakou i keia, A i manao lakou i ko lakou hope!
30 [You would have realized] why 1,000 [of your soldiers] would be defeated by only one [of the enemy soldiers], and why two of your enemies would chase away 10,000 [Israeli soldiers]. [You would realize that this would happen] only if God, the one who always defended you [MET], had allowed your enemies to defeat you, because he had abandoned you.
Pehea la e alualu ai kekahi i ke tausani hookahi, A o na mea elua e hoopuehu ai i na tausani he umi, Ke ole i kuai aku ko lakou Pohaku ia lakou, Ke ole hoi i hoolilo aku o Iehova ia lakou?
31 Your enemies know that their gods are not powerful like Yahweh, our God, [so their gods could not have defeated us Israelis].
O ko lakou pohaku, aole like ia me ko kakou Pohaku, Ma ka hooiaio ana mai o ko kakou poe enemi.
32 Your enemies are like [MET] grapevines planted near [the ruins of] Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; the grapes from those vines are bitter and poisonous;
No ka mea, o ko lakou kumuwaina, he kumuwaina no Sodoma, A no na mala hoi o Gomora: O ka lakou huawaina, he huawaina make, A o na huhuiwaina a lakou, he awaawa ia:
33 the wine [from those grapes] is like the poison of snakes [DOU].
O ka lakou waina, he mea make o na moolele, A me ka mea make ino o na moonihoawa.
34 [“Yahweh says], ‘I know [RHQ] [what I have planned to do to the Israeli people and to their enemies], and those plans are so secure [that it as though he locked them up] [MET].
Aole anei i hunaia keia mea me au, A i hoopaaia iwaena pu me o'u waiwai?
35 I am the one who will get revenge and pay those enemies back for what they have done [to my people], at the right time for them to be punished [IDM]; they will soon experience disasters, and I will punish/destroy them quickly.’
Ia'u no ka hoopai aku, a me ka hoouku: E hoopahee auanei ko lakou wawae: No ka mea, ua kokoke mai ka la e poino ai lakou, Ua lalelale mai na mea e hiki mai ana maluna o lakou.
36 “But Yahweh will see that you who are truly his people, who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and he will be merciful to you. And he will see that you are helpless, and that there are very few of you, slaves or free people, who are still alive.
No ka mea, e hoopai auanei o Iehova i kona poe kanaka, A e minamina no ia i kana poe kauwa, Ke ike ia, ua nawaliwali ka lima, Aohe mea i paa, aohe mea i paa ole.
37 Then Yahweh will ask his people, ‘Where are the gods that you thought would protect you [MET]?
A e olelo mai ia, Auhea ae nei ko lakou mau akua, Ka pohaku a lakou i hilinai ai,
38 You gave to those gods the best parts of the animals that you sacrificed, and you poured out wine for them to drink. So, they should begin to help you; they should be the ones who will protect you!
Ka mea i ai i ka momona o ka lakou mohai, Ka mea i inu i ka waina o ka lakou mohaiinu? E ku mai lakou e kokua mai ia oukou, A e hoomalu mai ia oukou.
39 “But now you will realize that I, only I, am God; there is no other god who is [a real] god. I am the one who can kill people and who can cause people to live; I can wound people, and I can heal people, and there is no one who can prevent me from doing those things.
E nana oukou ano, Owau, Owau no ia, Aohe akua e ae, Owau wale no: Owau ke pepehi, Owau ke hoola; Owau ke hooeha, Owau ke hoola; Aohe mea nana e hoopakele ae mai kuu lima aku.
40 I raise my hand toward heaven and solemnly declare that just as sure as I live forever,
No ka mea, ke kaikai nei au i kuu lima ma ka lani, Me ka i iho, He ola mau loa ko'u.
41 that when I sharpen my sword, as I [SYN] prepare to punish people, I will get revenge on my enemies; I will pay back those who hate me.
Ina e hookala au i kuu pahikaua huali, A e lawe kuu lima i ka hooponopono; E hoopai aku au i kuu poe enemi, E hoouku aku au i ka poe e inaina mai ia'u.
42 I will kill all [of my enemies] with a sword; it will be as though I had arrows that will be covered with their blood. I will kill [MTY] all those whom I capture and cut off their leaders’ heads.’
E hooinu au i na pua a u i ke koko a ona, E ai iho kuu pahikaua i ka io; Me ke koko o ka mea i pepehiia, a me ko ka mea i pio, I ke poo hoi o na'lii o ka poe enemi.
43 “You people of all nations, you as well as his people should praise Yahweh, because Yahweh gets revenge on those who kill the people who serve him; and he cleanses his people’s land which has become defiled because of their sins.”
E olioli oukou, e na aina, me kona poe kanaka; No ka mea, e uku auanei no ia i ke koko o kona poe kauwa, A hoopai no ia i kona poe enemi, A e hoola no ia i ka aina o kona poe kanaka.
44 Joshua and Moses/I recited the words of that song while the Israeli people were listening.
Hele mai o Mose a hai aku i na pepeiao o kanaka i na huaolelo a pau o keia mele, oia a me Iosua, ke keiki a Nuna.
45 When they/we finished reciting to the Israeli people the words of this song,
A hoopau ae la o Mose i ka olelo ana aku i keia mau olelo a pau i ka Iseraela a pau.
46 Moses/I said, “Never forget all these commands that I have been giving you today. Teach these laws to your children, in order that they will faithfully obey all of them.
I aku la ia ia lakou, E noonoo pono ko oukou naau i na olelo a pau a'u e hoike aku nei ia oukou i keia la; oia ka oukou e kauoha aku ai i na keiki a oukou e malama, e hana hoi i na olelo a pau o keia kanawai.
47 These instructions are very important [LIT]. If [you obey] them, you will live a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
Aole keia he mea lapuwale no oukou, no ka mea, o ko oukou ola keia; a ma keia mea e hooloihi ai oukou i na la ma ka aina, kahi a oukou e hele aku nei i kela kapa o Ioredane e noho.
48 On that same day, Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose ia la no, i mai la.
49 “Go to the Abarim Mountain range [here] in the Moab region, across from Jericho. Climb Nebo Mountain, and look [toward the west] to see Canaan land, the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people.
E pii aku oe i keia kuahiwi, i Abarima, ma ka puu o Nebo, ma ka aina o Moaba, e ku pono ana i Ieriko, a e nana i ka aina o Kanaana, a'u e haawi aku nei i wahi e noho ai no na mamo a Iseraela;
50 You will die on that mountain [EUP, DOU], like your [older] brother Aaron died on Hor Mountain.
A e make oe ma ke kuahiwi, kahi au e pii aku ai, a e hui pu ia oe me kou poe kanaka, e like me ka make ana o Aarona kou kaikuaana, a hui pu ia oia me kona poe kanaka.
51 You will die because both of you disobeyed me in the presence of the Israeli people, when you all were at Meribah Springs near Kadesh [town] in the Zin Desert. You did not honor and respect me in the presence of the Israeli people in the way that I deserve because I am God.
No ka mea, ua hana hewa olua ia'u iwaena o na mamo a Iseraela ma ka wai o Meriba, ma Kadesa, i ka waonahele o Zina; i ko olua hoano ole mai ia'u mawaena o na mamo a Iseraela.
52 [When you are on that mountain where I told you to go], you will see in the distance in front of you the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people, but you will not enter it.”
E ike no nae oe i ka aina, aka, aole oe e hele aku ilaila, i ka aina a'u e haawi aku nei i na mamo a Iseraela.
