Deuteronomy 6
1 “These are the commandments and rules and regulations that Yahweh our God commanded me to teach to you. He wants you to obey them in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
EIA na kauoha, na kanawai, a me na olelo kupaa, a Iehova ko oukou Akua i kauoha mai ai e ao aku ia oukou, i malama aku ai oukou ma ka aina e hele aku nei oukou e noho:
2 He wants you to revere him, and he wants you and your descendants to always obey all these rules and regulations that I am giving to you, in order that you may live for a long time.
I mea e makau aku ai oe ia Iehova i kou Akua, e malama i kona mau kanawai a pau, a me kana mau kauoha a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe; o oe, a me kau keiki, a me kau moopuna, i na la a pau o kou ola'na, i hooloihiia'i kou mau la.
3 So, you Israeli people, listen to them carefully and obey them. If you do that, things will go well with you, and you will become a nation with a very large population when you are living in that very fertile [IDM] land. That is what Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], promised [would happen].
E hoolohe hoi oe, e ka Iseraela, a hoomanao e malama hoi, i pomaikai ai oe, i mahuahua loa ai noi oukou, ma ka aina e kahe ana o ka waiu a me ka meli, e like me ka Iehova ke Akua o kou poe kupuna i olelo mai ai ia oe.
4 “You Israeli people, listen! Only Yahweh is our God.
E hoolohe mai, e ka Iseraela; O Iehova ko kakou Akua, hookahi no Iehova.
5 You must love him with all your inner being and with all that you feel and with all that you do.
E aloha aku oe ia Iehova i kou Akua me kou naau a pau, me kou uhane a pau, a me kou ikaika a pau.
6 Never forget [IDM] these commands that I am giving to you today.
O keia mau olelo a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la, e waiho no ia maloko o kou naau;
7 Teach them to your children again and again. Talk about them [all the time]: When you are in your houses and when you are walking outside; talk about them when you are lying down and when you are doing things.
A e ao pono aku oe ia mau mea i au mau keiki, a e kamailio aku ia mau mea i kou noho ana ma kou hale, a i kou hele ana ma ke ala, i kou moe ana ilalo, a me kou ala ana iluna.
8 [Write them on tiny scrolls and] fasten them to your arms/wrists, and write them on bands that you fasten to your foreheads [to help you to remember them].
A e nakii oe ia mau mea i hoailona ma kou lima, a e lilo ia i mea e hoomanao ai mawaena o kou mau maka.
9 Write them on the doorposts and on the gates of your houses.
A e kakau oe ia mau mea ma na lapauila o kou puka hale, a me na puka pa ou.
10 “Yahweh our God vowed to your ancestors Abraham and Isaac and Jacob that he will give you a land that already has in it large and prosperous cities that you did not build.
A i ka manawa a Iehova kou Akua i kai aku ai ia oe i ka aina ana i hoohiki mai ai i kou mau kupuna, ia Aberahama, ia Isaaka, a me Iakoba, e haawi mai ia oe i na kulanakauhale nui a maikai, aole nau i kukulu,
11 He said that the houses in those cities will already be full of many good things that [others put there]; you did not put them there. There will be wells that others have dug. There will be vineyards and olive trees that others planted. So when Yahweh brings you into that land, and you have all that you want to eat,
A me na hale piha i ka waiwai, aole nau i hoolako, a me na luawai i eliia, aole nau i eil, i na pawaina a me na laau oliva, aole nau i kanu; aia ai iho oe a maona;
12 be sure that you do not forget Yahweh who rescued you from being slaves [in Egypt and gave all these things to you].
Alaila e malama ia oe iho, o hoopoina oe ia Iehova, nana oe i lawe mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, mailoko mai hoi o ka hale hooluhi.
13 “You must revere Yahweh our God, and you must serve only him and say that he should [MTY] punish you if you do not do what you have promised.
E makau oe ia Iehova i kou Akua, e malama ia ia, a e hoohiki oe ma kona inoa.
14 You must not worship any other gods, the gods that the people-groups who will live near you worship.
Mai hele aku oukou mamuli o na akua e, o na akua o na kanaka e noho ana a puni o oukou;
15 Yahweh our God, who lives among you, (will not accept/will punish) people who worship anyone or anything else. So if you worship any other god, Yahweh will be very angry with you, and he will get rid of you completely.
O hoaaia mai auanei ka inaina o Iehova kou Akua ia oe, a lukuia mai oe mai ke alo aku o ka honua: (no ka mea, o Iehova kou Akua, he Akua lili ia iwaena o oukou.)
16 Do not do sinful things to find out if you can do them without Yahweh our God punishing you, like your ancestors did at Massah.
Mai aa aku oukou ia Iehova i ko oukou Akua, e like me ko oukou aa ana ma Masa.
17 Be sure that you always obey all the laws, the commandments, the rules, and the regulations that he has given to you.
E malama pono oukou i na kauoha a Iehova ko oukou Akua, me kana mau oihana, a me kona mau kanawai, ana i kauoha mai ai ia oe.
18 Do what Yahweh says is right and good. If you do that, things will go well with you. You will be able to enter and occupy the good/fertile land that Yahweh vowed to give to our ancestors.
E hana oe i ka pono a me ka maikai imua i ke alo o Iehova; i pomaikai ai oe, i komo ai hoi oe a noho ma ka aina maikai a Iehova i hoohiki mai ai i ou mau kupuna;
19 He will do that by expelling your enemies from that land, just like he promised to do.
I hookuke aku ai i kou poe enemi a pau mai kou alo aku, e like me ka Iehova i olelo mai ai.
20 “In the future, when your children ask you, ‘Why did Yahweh our God command us to obey all these rules and regulations?’
Aia ninau mai kau keiki ia oe ma ia hope aku, i ka i ana mai, Heaha na oihana, na kanawai, a me na olelo kupaa a Iehova ko kakou Akua i kauoha mai ai ia oukou?
21 tell them, ‘Our ancestors were slaves of the king in Egypt, but Yahweh brought them out of Egypt by his great power [MTY].
Alaila oe e olelo aku ai i kau keiki, He poe kauwa hooluhi makou a Parao i Aigupita, na Iehova makou i kai ae mai Aigupita mai me ka lima ikaika.
22 They saw him do many kinds of miracles [DOU] and do terrifying things to the people of Egypt and to the king and his officials.
Ua hoike mai o Iehova i na hoailona, a me na mea kupanaha, he nui a he ino maluna o Aigupita, maluna o Parao, a maluna hoi o kona mau ohua a pau, imua o ko makou maka;
23 He rescued our ancestors from Egypt and brought them here to give them this land, just like he vowed that he would do.
A kai mai la oia ia makou mai ia wahi mai, i hookomo mai ai ia ia makou iloko, e haawi ia makou i ka aina ana i hoohiki ai i ko makou poe kupuna.
24 And he commanded us to obey all these laws and to revere him, for our own good and in order that he would protect our nation and enable us to prosper, as he is doing now.
Kauoha mai la o Iehova ia makou e malama i keia mau kanawai a pau, e makau ia Iehova ko makou Akua, i pomaikai mau ai makou, i malama mai ai hoi oia ia makou e ola ana, e like me ia i keia la.
25 Yahweh our God will (approve of us/consider us to be righteous) if we carefully obey everything that he has commanded us to do.’”
A e lilo ia i pono no kakou, ke hoomanao kakou e malama i neia mau kauoha imua o Iehova ko kakou Akua, e like me ia i kauoha mai ai ia kakou.
