Deuteronomy 8
1 “You must faithfully obey all the commandments that I am giving you today. If you do that, you will live [a long time], you will become very numerous, and you will occupy the land that Yahweh solemnly promised your ancestors that he would give [to you].
O NA kauoha a pau a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la, o ka oukou ia e hoomanao ai e hana, i ola oukou, i mahuahua ae, i komo aku oukou, a noho ma ka aina a Iehova i hoohiki ai i ko oukou mau kupuna.
2 And do not forget how Yahweh our God led us as we traveled through the desert during these past 40 years. He [caused you to have many problems/difficulties], because he wanted to cause you to realize that you needed to trust him and not yourselves. And he wanted to test you, to find out what you intended to do [IDM], whether you would obey his commandments or not.
E hoomanao hoi oe i ke ala a pau a Iehova kou Akua i kai mai ai ia oe ma ka waonahele i keia mau makahiki he kanaha, e hoohaahaa iho ia oe, e hoao hoi ia oe, e ike hoi ia i ka mea maloko o kou naau, i malama paha oe, i malama ole paha i kana mau kauoha.
3 So he caused you to have/experience difficulties. He allowed you to become hungry. Then he gave you manna [food from heaven], food that you and your ancestors had never eaten before. He did that to teach you that people need food [for their bodies]; but [they also need food for their spirits, which comes from paying attention to] everything that Yahweh says [MTY].
Ua hoohaahaa ia ia oe, ua haawi mai oia ia oe i ka pololi, a ua hanai mai ia oe i ka mane au i ike ole ai, aole hoi i ike kou mau kupuna; i hoike mai ia ia oe, aole e ola ke kanaka ma ka berena wale no; aka, ke ola nei ke kanaka i na huaolelo a pau mailoko mai o ka waha o Iehova.
4 During those 40 years [of walking through the desert], our clothes did not wear out and our feet did not swell [from walking a very long way through the desert].
Aole i weluwelu kou aahu maluna ou, aole hoi i pehu kou wawae i neia mau makahiki he kanaha.
5 Do not forget that Yahweh our God disciplines us, like parents discipline their children.
E hoomanao hoi oe iloko o kou naau, e like me ke kanaka e hooehaeha ana i kana keiki, pela hoi o Iehova e hooehaeha mai ai ia oe.
6 “Do obey the commandments of Yahweh our God, and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and revere him.
No ia hoi, e malama oe i na kauoha a Iehova a kou Akua, e hele oe ma kona mau aoao, a e makau ia ia.
7 He is about to bring you into a good/fertile land, which has streams which flow down from the hills and pour/flow out of springs in the valleys.
No ka mea, ke alakai aku nei o Iehova kou Akua ia oe i ka aina maikai he aina wai e kahe ana ma kahawai, o na punawai, o na waipuna e piipii mai ana, mailoko mai o na awawa a me na puu:
8 It is a land on which wheat and barley grow, a land where there are fig trees and pomegranates, and a land where there are olive trees and honey.
He aina mea palaoa, a me ka bale, a me na kumu waina, a me na laau fiku, a me na pomegerane, he aina laau oliva mea aila, a me ka meli:
9 It is a land where there will be plenty of food for you, where you will (not lack anything/have everything that you need) [LIT], a land which has iron [ore] in its rocks and from which you can dig copper [ore] from its hills.
He aina kahi au e ai ai i ka berena me ka wi ole, aole oe e nele i kekahi mea malaila; he aina mea pohaku hao, a ma na puu ona e eli iho ai oe i ke keleawe.
10 [Every day] you will eat until your stomachs are full, and you will thank Yahweh our God for the fertile/good land that he has given you.
Aia ai iho oe a maona, alaila e hoomaikai aku oe ia Iehova kou Akua, no ka aina maikai ana i haawi mai ai ia oe.
11 But, [when that happens], be sure not to forget Yahweh our God by disobeying his commandments and rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.
E ao, o hoopoina oe ia Iehova kou Akua, ma ka malama ole i kana mau kauoha, i kana mau olelo kupaa, a me kona mau kanawai, a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la.
12 When your stomachs are full [every day], and when you have built good houses and are living in them,
Malia paha, a ai iho oe a maona, a kukulu oe i na hale maikai a noho iho iloko;
13 and when the number of your cattle and sheep has greatly increased, and when you have accumulated a large amount of silver and gold, and the amount of all your other possessions has greatly increased,
A hoomahuahuaia'e kou poe bipi a me kau poe hipa, a mahuahua hoi kau kala a me kau gula, a ua nui hoi kau mau mea a pau;
14 be sure that you do not become proud [IDM] and forget Yahweh our God, who rescued your ancestors from being slaves in Egypt and brought them out from there.
Alaila e hookiekieia'e kou naau iluna, a hoopoina oe ia Iehova kou Akua, nana oe i lawe mai nei mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, mailoko mai hoi o ka liale hooluhi;
15 Do not forget that he led them [while they traveled] through that huge and terrible desert, where there were poisonous snakes and scorpions. And do not forget that where the ground was very dry and there was no water, he caused water to flow for them out of (solid/very hard) rock.
Nana oe i alakai mai mawaena o kela waonahele nui weliweli; kahi o na nahesa wela, a me na moohueloawa, he maloo, he wahi wai ole, nana i hookahe mai ka wai nou mailoko mai o ka pohaku paa;
16 Do not forget that in that desert he gave your ancestors manna to eat, food that they had never eaten before. He [caused them to have/experience many problems/difficulties], because he wanted them to realize that they needed to trust him and not themselves. And he wanted to test them, to find out whether they intended to obey him, in order that when [those difficulties] ended, he would do many good things for them.
Nana no hoi oe i hanai me ka mane ma ka waonahele, ka mea a ko oukou mau kupuna i ike ole ai, i hoohaahaa mai ai ia ia oe, a i hoao mai ai hoi ia ia oe, i mea e pomaikai ai oe i kou wa mahope;
17 Be sure that you do not think to yourselves, ‘I have acquired all these things by my own power [MTY] and ability.’
O i iho oe ma kou naau, Na ko'u mana, a me ka ikaika o kuu lima, i loaa'i ia'u keia waiwai.
18 Do not forget that it is Yahweh our God who has enabled you to become rich. He does this because he faithfully does what he solemnly promised our ancestors that he would do.
E hoomanao oe ia Iehova i kou Akua: no ka mea, oia ke haawi mai ia oe i ka pono e loaa'i ka waiwai, i hookupaa oia i kana berita ana i hoohiki ai i ou mau kupuna, e like me ia i keia la.
19 “solemnly warn you that if you forget Yahweh our God and turn to other gods and start to serve them and worship them, you will certainly be destroyed.
A ina oe e hoopoina iki ia Iehova i kou Akua, a e hele mamuli o na akua e, e malama, a e hoomana aku ia lakou, ke hoike aku nei au ia oukou i keia la, he oiaio, e make oukou.
20 If you do not obey Yahweh our God, he will certainly destroy you just like he will destroy the people-groups that you will fight against.”
E like me na lahuikanaka a Iehova e luku aku ana imua o ko oukou maka, pela oukou e make ai; no ka mea, aole oukou i hoolohe i ka leo o Iehova ko oukou Akua.
