Deuteronomy 9
1 Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fortified up to heaven,
E HOOLOHE, e ka Iseraela; e hele ana oe i keia la ma kela kapa o Ioredane, e komo a hoolilo nou i na lahuikanaka, he oi aku ka nui a me ka ikaika o lakou i kou, a i na kulanakauhale nui, ua paa i ka pa pohaku, a hala i ka lani.
2 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard it said, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
He poe kanaka nunui a loihi, na keiki a ka poe Anakima, a oukou i ike ai, a ua lohe hoi oe, Owai la auanei e hiki ke ku imua o na keiki a Anaka?
3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he who goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said to thee.
E ike pono oe i keia la, o Iehova kou Akua, ka mea e hele ana imua ou, he ahi ia e hoopau ana, nana lakou e luku aku, a nana lakou e hoohaahaa iho imua o kou maka: a e hookuke aku oe ia lakou, a e luku koke aku ia lakou, e like me ka Iehova i olelo mai ai ia oe.
4 Speak not thou in thy heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.
Mai i iho oe iloko o kou naau mahope o ka Iehova kou Akua kipaku ana aku ia lakou mai kou alo aku, i ka i ana ae, No ko'u pono i lawe mai nei o Iehova ia'u e hoonoho ma keia aina; aka, no ka hewa o keia mau lahuikanaka i kipaku aku ai o Iehova ia lakou mai kou alo aku.
5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD swore to thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Aole no kou pono, a me ka pololei o kou naau, kou hele ana e noho ma ko lakou aina; aka, no ka hewa o kela mau luhuikanaka, e kipaku aku ai o Iehova kou Akua ia lakou mai kou alo aku, a e hooko hoi ia i ka olelo a Iehova i hoohiki ai i kou mau kupuna, ia Aberahama, ia Isaaka, a me Iakoba.
6 Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.
E ike hoi oe, aole o Iehova kou Akua e haawi mai i keia aina maikai i lilo ia nou, no kou pono; no ka mea, he poe kanaka a-i oolea oukou,
7 Remember, and forget not, how thou didst provoke the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart from the land of Egypt, until ye came to this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.
E hoomanao oe, mai hoopoina i kou hoonaukiuki ana ia Iehova kou Akua ma ka waonahele: ma ka la i puka mai ai oukou mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, a hiki oukou ma keia wahi, ua kipi oukou ia Iehova.
8 Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.
Ma Horeba hoi i hoonaukiuki aku ai oukou ia Iehova, a huhu mai la o Iehova ia oukou e luku aku ia oukou.
9 When I went up to the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither ate bread nor drank water:
Ia'u i pii ae i ka mauna e loaa na papapohaku, na papa o ke kanawai a Iehova i hana'i no oukou, hookahi kanaha ao, a hookahi kanaha po, a'u i noho ai ma ka mauna; aole au i ai i ka ai, aole hoi i inu i ka wai:
10 And the LORD delivered to me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spoke with you in the mount from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
A haawi mai o Iehova ia'u i na papapohaku elua, i kakauia e ka lima o ke Akua; a maluna o ia mau mea na huaolelo a pau a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia oukou ma ka mauna, mailoko mai o ke ahi i ka la o ka houluulu ana.
11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.
A pau na la he kanaha, a me na po he kanaha, haawi mai la o Iehova ia'u i na papapohaku elua, oia na papa o ke kanawai.
12 And the LORD said to me, Arise, go down quickly from here; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
A olelo mai o Iehova ia'u, E ku ae oe, e iho koke oe mai keia wahi aku; no ka mea, ua hana hewa kou poe kanaka au i lawe mai nei mai ka aina o Aigupita mai: ua kapae koke ae lakou mai ke ala aku a'u i kauoha aku ai ia lakou; ua hana lakou i kii i hooheeheeia no lakou.
13 Furthermore the LORD spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
Olelo mai hoi o Iehova ia'u, i mai la, Ua ike au i keia poe kanaka, aia hoi, he poe kanaka a-i oolea keia.
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
E waiho mai oe ia'u, i luku aku ai au ia lakou, a i hokai aku ai i ko lakou inoa malalo ae o ka lani: a e hoolilo aku au ia oe i lahuikanaka ikaika loa, a nui loa hoi i ko lakou.
15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
A huli ae au, a iho ilalo mai ka mauna mai, ua wela ka mauna i ke ahi; a ma kuu mau lima elua na papa elua o ke kanawai.
16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly from the way which the LORD had commanded you.
A nana iho la au, aia hoi, ua hana hewa oukou ia Iehova i ko oukou Akua, ua hana oukou i bipikeiki i hooheeheeia no oukou; ua kapae koke oukou mai ke ala aku a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia oukou.
17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
A lawe ae la au i na papa elua a hoolei aku la mai ko'u mau lima aku, a nahaha iho la imua o ko oukou maka.
18 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I neither ate bread, nor drank water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
A haule iho la au imua o Iehova, e like mamua, hookahi kanaha ao, hookahi kanaha po; aole au i ai i ka berena, aole hoi i inu i ka wai, no ko oukou hewa a pau a oukou i hana hewa ai imua o Iehova, e hoonaukiuki aku ai ia ia.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, with which the LORD was angry with you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened to me at that time also.
No ka mea, makau iho la au i ka huhu a me ka inaina nui a Iehova i huhu mai ai ia oukou e luku ia oukou: aka, hoolohe mai no o Iehova ia'u i kela manawa.
20 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
A huhu nui mai no hoi o Iehova ia Aarona e pepehi ia ia: a pule aku au no Aarona hoi i kela manawa.
21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust of it into the brook that descended from the mount.
Lawe aku la au i ko oukou hala, i ka bipikeiki a oukou i hana'i, a puhi aku la i ke ahi, a kui iho la, a pepe liilii a aiai e like me ka lepo; a hoolei aku i kona lepo iloko o ke kahawai, e kahe ana mai ka mauna mai.
22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath.
A ma Tabera, a ma Masa, a ma Kiberohataava, hoonaukiuki aku la oukou ia Iehova.
23 Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
A ia Iehova hoi i hoouna aku ai ia oukou mai Kadesabanea aku, i ka i ana aku, E pii oukou a noho ma ka aina a'u i haawi ai no oukou; alaila kipi mai la oukou i ke kauoha a Iehova ko oukou Akua, aole oukou i hooia aku ia ia, aole hoi oukou i hoolohe i kona leo.
24 Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
He poe kipi oukou ia Iehova mai ka manawa mai o kuu ike ana ia oukou.
25 Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
A haule iho la au imua o Iehova, hookahi kanaha ao, hookahi kanaha po, e like me kuu haule ana mamua; no ka mea, ua i mai o Iehova e luku aku ia oukou.
26 I prayed therefore to the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thy inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
No ia mea, pule aku la au ia Iehova, i aku la, E Iehova, e ka Haku e, mai luku mai oe i kou poe kanaka, a me kou hooilina au i hoola'i ma kou mana, i ka mea hoi au i lawe mai nei mai Aigupita mai me ka lima ikaika.
27 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
E hoomanao oe i kau mau kauwa, ia Aberahama, ia Isaaka, a me Iakoba: mai manao oe i ka paakiki o keia poe kanaka, aole hoi i ko lakou hewa a me ko lakou hala;
28 Lest the land from which thou hast brought us should say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.
O olelo mai auanei ko ka aina nolaila i lawe mai ai oe ia makou, No ka hiki ole ia Iehova ke lawe aku ia lakou ma ka aina ana i olelo mai ai ia lakou, a no kona inaina ia lakou, i lawe mai oia ia lakou e luku ia lakou ma ka waonahele.
29 Yet they are thy people and thy inheritance, which thou hast brought out by thy mighty power and by thy outstretched arm.
O kou poe kanaka no nae lakou, a me kou hooilina au i lawe mai nei me kou mana ikaika, a me kou lima kakauha.
