Deuteronomy 7
1 “Yahweh our God will bring you to the land that you will soon enter and occupy. As you advance, he will expel from that land seven people-groups that are more powerful and more numerous than you are. He will expel the Heth people-group, the Girgash people-group, the Amor people-group, the Canaan people-group, the Periz people-group, the Hiv people-group, and the Jebus people-group.
A IA kai aku o Iehova kou Akua ia oe i ka aina au e hele aku nei e noho ilaila, a hookuke aku ia i na lahuikanaka, he nui mamua ou, i ka Heta, i ka Giregasa, me ka Amora, me ka Kanaana, me ka Periza, me ka Heva, a me ka Iebusa, i ehiku lahuikanaka, ua oi aku ko lakou nui a me ko lakou ikaika i kou;
2 When Yahweh our God enables you to defeat [DOU] them, you must kill all of them. You must not make (an alliance/a peace treaty) with any of them. You must not act mercifully toward them.
A hoolilo mai o Iehova kou Akua ia lakou imua ou; alaila e pepehi aku oe ia lakou, a pau lakou i ka make; mai hookuikahi oe me lakou; a mai aloha aku ia lakou:
3 You must not marry any of them. You must not allow your daughters to marry any of their sons or allow your sons to marry any of their daughters.
Mai hoopalau hoi me lakou; mai haawi i kau kaikamahine na kana keikikane; mai lawe oe i kana kaikamahine na kau keikikane.
4 Because, if you did that, those people would cause your children to stop worshiping Yahweh and to worship other gods. If that happens, Yahweh will be very angry with you and he will get rid of you immediately.
No ka mea, e hoohuli ae lakou i kau keiki, i ole ia e hahai mai ia'u, i malama aku lakou i na akua e: pela e hoaaia mai ai ka inaina o Iehova ia oukou, a e luku koke mai ia oe.
5 This is what you must do to those people: Tear down their (altars/places for sacrificing animals), break apart the stone pillars [that are dedicated to their male god Baal], cut down the [poles that they use when they worship the goddess] Asherah, and burn their [wooden] idols.
Penei oukou hana aku ai ia lakou; e hoohiolo oukou i ko lakou mau kuahu, e wawahi iho i ko lakou poe kii, e kua ilalo i ko lakou mau kii o Asetarota, a e puhi aku i ko lakou mau kiikalaiia i ke ahi.
6 You must do that because you are a group of people who belong to Yahweh our God. He has chosen you from among all the people-groups in the world to be his own special people.
No ka mea, he poe kanaka laa oukou no Iehova kou Akua: na Iehova na kou Akua i wae mai ia oukou, i poe kanaka ponoi nona, mamua o na kanaka a pau maluna o ka honua.
7 “It was not because you were more numerous than any other people-group that Yahweh preferred you; you are one of the smallest people-groups on the earth.
Aole o Iehova i aloha mai ia oukou, a i wae mai ia oukou, no ka oi o ko oukou nui i ko na kanaka e ae a pau; no ka mea, he poe uuku oukou i na kanaka a pau:
8 Instead, it is because Yahweh loved you and because he wanted to do what he vowed to your ancestors. That is the reason that he rescued you by his great power [MTY], and freed you from being slaves [MTY] of the king of Egypt.
Aka, no ke aloha o Iehova ia oukou, a no kona malama i ka hoohiki ana i hoohiki ai i ko oukou poe kupuna; nolaila i kai mai nei o Iehova ia oukou me ka lima ikaika, a e hoopakele ia oukou mai ka hale hooluhi mai, mailoko mai o ka lima o Parao, ke alii o Aigupita.
9 So do not forget that Yahweh our God is the only/true God. He will do what he agreed to do for you, and he will faithfully love (for 1,000 generations/forever) all those who love him and who obey his commandments.
E ike hoi oe, o Iehova kou Akua, oia no ke Akua, he Akua oiaio, e malama ana i ka berita, a i ke aloha no ka poe i aloha aku ia ia, a malama hoi i kana mau kauoha, a hiki i ke tausani o na hanauna:
10 But for those who hate him, he will (pay them back/do to them what they deserve); he will punish them and quickly get rid of them.
A e hoopai koke ana hoi i ka poe inaina ia ia, e luku ia lakou, aole ia e lohi i ka mea inaina ia ia, e hoopai koke ana no ia ia.
11 “So you must be sure to obey all the commandments and rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.
Nolaila, e malama oe i na kauoha a me na kanawai, a me na olelo kupaa a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la, a e hana hoi ia mea.
12 If you heed these commands and obey them faithfully, Yahweh our God will do what he has agreed to do for you, and he will faithfully love you, which is what he vowed to your ancestors that he would do.
No ia hoi, ina e hoolohe oukou i keia mau olelo kupaa, a e malama, a e hana hoi ia mau mea, alaila e malama mai o Iehova kou Akua i ka berita a me ke aloha nou, ana i hoohiki ai i kou poe kupuna.
13 He will love you and bless you. He will enable you to have many children [DOU]. He will bless your fields, with the result that you will have plenty of grain and [grapes to make] wine and plenty of [olive] oil. You will have many cattle and sheep. He will do all these things for you in the land that he promised to your ancestors that he would give to you.
A e aloha mai ia ia oe a e hoopomaikai mai ia oe, a e hoomahuahua mai ia oe: e hoopomaikai mai hoi ia i ka hua o kou opu, a me ka hua o kou aina, i kau palaoa a me kou waina, a me kou aila, a me ka hanau ana o kou poe bipi, a me kau poe hipa, ma ka aina ana i hoohiki ai i kou mau kupuna e haawi mai ia oe.
14 He will bless you more than he will bless any other people-group. All of you will be able to have/produce children [LIT]. All of your livestock will be able to produce offspring.
E oi aku kou hoopomaikaiia mamua o ko ua kanaka a pau: aole he kane keiki ole, aole he wahine pa iwaena o oukou, aole hoi iwaena o na holoholona a oukou.
15 And Yahweh will protect you from all illnesses. You will not be afflicted with any of the dreadful diseases that [our ancestors knew about] in Egypt, but all your enemies will be inflicted with those diseases.
A e lawe aku o Iehova i na mai a pau mai ou aku nei, aole hoi ia e kau i kekahi mai ahulau o Aigupita maluna iho ou, au i ike ai; aka, e kau aku kela ia mea maluna iho o ka poe a pau e inaina mai ia oe.
16 You must get rid of all the people-groups that Yahweh our God will enable you to conquer. Do not [SYN] act mercifully toward any of them. And do not worship their gods, because if you do that, it would be like falling into a trap [from which you will never be able to escape].
A e hoopau aku oe i na kanaka a pau a Iehova kou Akua e hoolilo mai nou; mai minamina aku kou maka ia lakou, mai malama hoi oe i ko lakou mau akua; no ka mea, e lilo ia i mea hihia nou.
17 “Do not think to yourselves, ‘These people-groups are more numerous/powerful than we are, so we certainly cannot [RHQ] expel them.’
Ina paha e i iho oe maloko o kou naau, Ua oi aku ka nui o keia mau lahuikanaka i ko'u; pehea la e hiki ia'u ke kipaku aku ia lakou?
18 Do not be afraid of them. Instead, think about what Yahweh our God did to the king of Egypt and to all the people whom he [ruled].
Mai makau oe ia lakou; e hoomanao pono oe i ka mea a Iehova kou Akua i hana'i ia Parao, a me ko Aigupita a pau:
19 Do not forget the terrible plagues that your ancestors saw [Yahweh inflict on the people of Egypt], and the many [DOU] miracles [that he performed], and the very powerful [DOU, MTY] way by which he brought your ancestors out [of Egypt]. Yahweh our God will do the same kind of things to the people-groups that you are afraid of now.
I na hoao nui a kou maka i ike ai, a me na hoailona, a me na mea kupanaha, a me ka lima ikaika, a me ka lima kakauha a Iehova kou Akua i lawe mai nei ia oe; pela no o Iehova kou Akua e hana aku ai i na kanaka a pau au e makau nei.
20 Furthermore, he will cause them to become terrified, and he will destroy those who remain alive and run away to hide from you.
A e hoouna aku hoi o Iehova kou Akua i ka nalohopeeha iwaena o lakou, a pau lakou i ka lukuia, ka poe i waihoia, a me ka poe i pee mai ou aku la.
21 Do not be afraid of those people, because Yahweh our God will be with/among you. He is a great God; he is the one you should be afraid of.
Mai makau oe ia lakou; no ka mea, iwaena ou o Iehova kou Akua, he Akua nui, hooweliweli.
22 He will expel those people-groups gradually. You should not [try to] expel all of them at one time, because if you did that, the number of wild animals would quickly increase, [and you would not be able to get rid of them].
A e kipaku liilii aku o Iehova kou Akua i kela mau luhuikanaka mamua ou: mai luku koke aku ia lakou a pau, o nui mai auanei na holoholona e alo mai ia oe.
23 Instead, Yahweh will enable you to defeat your enemies [one people-group at a time]. He will cause them to panic until they are destroyed.
A o Iehova kou Akua e hoolilo mai ia lakou imua ou, a e luku aku ia lakou me ka luku nui, a pau lakou i ka make.
24 He will enable you to defeat [IDM] their kings. After you kill them, their names will be forgotten {people will forget about them}. No people-group will be able to stop you; you will destroy all of them.
A e hoolilo mai ia i ko lakou mau alii iloko o kou lima, a e hokai oe i ko lakou inoa malalo iho o ka lani; aole e hiki i kekahi kanaka ke ku imua ou, a pau lakou i ka lukuia e oe.
25 You must burn the wooden idols [that represent] their gods. Do not desire to take the silver or gold [decorations] that are on those idols, because if you take them for yourselves, they will be like a trap [to cause you to want to worship those idols]. Yahweh hates [the worship of those idols].
O na kii o ko lakou mau akua e puhi oukou i ke ahi; mai kuko aku oe i ke kala a i ke gula maluna o ia mea, aole hoi e lawe ia mea nau, o hihia auanei oe ilaila; no ka mea, he mea hoowahawahaia e Iehova kou Akua.
26 You must not bring any of those disgusting idols into your houses, because if you do that, God will curse you like he curses them. You must hate and despise [DOU] those idols, because they are things that [Yahweh] has cursed.”
Aole hoi e lawe oe maloko o kou hale i ka mea hoowahawahaia, o lilo auanei oe i mea laa e like me ia; e hoowahawaha loa aku oe ia mea, a e hoopailua loa aku oe ia mea; no ka mea, he mea laa ia.
