Kanawailua 17
1 MAI kaumaha aku oe ia Iehova kou Akua i ka bipikane a i ka hipa paha, ina he wahi mea kina iki kona, a he wahi mea ino paha: no ka mea, he mea hoowahawahaia Iehova kou Akua.
'Thou dost not sacrifice to Jehovah thy God ox or sheep in which there is a blemish — any evil thing; for it [is] the abomination of Jehovah thy God.
2 Ina paha i loaa iwaena o oukou ma kou mau ipuka a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai ia oe, he kanaka, he wahine paha, i hana hewa imua o Iehova kou Akua i ka pale aku i kana berita,
'When there is found in thy midst, in one of thy cities which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, a man or a woman who doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah thy God by transgressing His covenant,
3 A ua hele aku ia, a ua malama aku i na akua e, a ua hoomana aku ia lakou, i ka la paha, i ka mahina paha, a i kekahi paha o ko ka lani mau mea, a'u i kauoha ole aku ai:
and he doth go and serve other gods, and doth bow himself to them, and to the sun, or to the moon, or to any of the host of the heavens, which I have not commanded —
4 A ua haiia ia oe, a ua lohe, a ua ninau pono oe, aia hoi, he oiaio no ia, ua hanaia keia mea ino iloko o ka Iseraela:
and it hath been declared to thee, and thou hast heard, and hast searched diligently, and lo, truth; the thing is established; this abomination hath been done in Israel —
5 Alaila e lawe mai oe i kela kanaka, a i kela wahine paha, i ka mea nana i hana keia mea hewa, ma kou mau ipuka, i ke kanaka, i ka wahine paha, a e hailuku ia lakou i ka pohaku a make lakou.
'Then thou hast brought out that man, or that woman, who hath done this evil thing, unto thy gates — the man or the woman — and thou hast stoned them with stones, and they have died.
6 Ma ka waha o na mea hoike elua, ekolu paha mea hoike, e pepehiia'ku ai ka mea pono no ka make; aole e pepehiia oia a make ma ka waha o ka mea hoike hookahi.
By the mouth of two witnesses or of three witnesses is he who is dead put to death; he is not put to death by the mouth of one witness;
7 O na lima o na mea hoike ke kau mua maluna ona e pepehi ia ia, a o na lima o na kanaka a pau mahope aku; a pela oe e, hookaawale aku ai i ka hewa mai ou aku la.
the hand of the witnesses is on him, in the first place, to put him to death, and the hand of all the people last; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.
8 Ina paha he mea hihia pohihihi ia oe ke hooponopono iwaena o kahi koko a me kahi koko, iwaena o kahi pono a me kekahi pono, iwaena o kahi hahau ana a me kekahi hahau ana, he mea hookolokolo ma kou mau ipuka; alaila e ku oe a pii aku ma kahi a Iehova i wae ai,
'When anything is too hard for thee for judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke — matters of strife within thy gates — then thou hast risen, and gone up unto the place on which Jehovah thy God doth fix,
9 A hele aku i na kahuna, i ka Levi, a i ka lunakanawai e noho ana o ia mau la, a e ninau aku; a e hai mai lakou ia oe i ka olelo o ka hooponopono ana.
and hast come in unto the priests, the Levites, and unto the judge who is in those days, and hast inquired, and they have declared to thee the word of judgment,
10 A e hana aku oe e like me ka olelo a lakou e hai mai ai ia oe ma kela wahi a Iehova i wae ai; a e malama e hana aku e like me ka lakou i hai mai ai ia oe;
and thou hast done according to the tenor of the word which they declare to thee ([they] of that place which Jehovah doth choose; and thou hast observed to do according to all that they direct thee.
11 E like me ka olelo o ke kanawai a lakou e hoike mai ai ia oe, a e like me ka hooponopono ana a lakou e olelo mai ai ia oe, pela oe e hana'i: mai huli ae oe mai ka olelo aku a lakou e hoike mai ai ia oe, ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema.
'According to the tenor of the law which they direct thee, and according to the judgment which they say to thee thou dost do; thou dost not turn aside from the word which they declare to thee, right or left.
12 A o ke kanaka e hana aku me ke kiekie, aole e hoolohe i ke kahuna e ku ana e lawelawe na Iehova kou Akua malaila, aole hoi i ka lunakanawai, e make ua kanaka la; a e lawe aku oe i ka hewa mai ka Iseraela aku.
And the man who acteth with presumption, so as not to hearken unto the priest (who is standing to serve there Jehovah thy God), or unto the judge, even that man hath died, and thou hast put away the evil thing from Israel,
13 A e hoolohe na kanaka a pau, e makau, aole e hana hookiekie hou aku.
and all the people do hear and fear, and do not presume any more.
14 A hiki aku oe ma ka aina a Iehova kou Akua e haawi mai ai ia oe, a lilo ia nou, a noho oe ilaila, a e olelo iho oe, E hoonoho au i alii maluna o'u, e like me na lahuikanaka a puni o'u:
'When thou comest in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, and hast possessed it, and dwelt in it, and thou hast said, Let me set over me a king like all the nations which [are] round about me, —
15 He oiaio, e hoonoho oe maluna ou i ke alii a Iehova kou Akua e wae ai; o kekahi mai waena mai o kou poe hoahanau kau e hoonoho ai i alii maluna ou: mai hoonoho oe i ke kanaka e maluna ou, i ka mea aole o kou hoahanau.
thou dost certainly set over thee a king on whom Jehovah doth fix; from the midst of thy brethren thou dost set over thee a king; thou art not able to set over thee a stranger, who is not thy brother.
16 Aka, mai hoomahuahua oia i na lio nona, aole hoi ia e hoihoi i na kanaka i Aigupita, i mea e hoomahuahua ai ia i na lio: no ka mea, ua olelo mai o Iehova ia oukou, Mai hoi hou aku oukou ilaila.
'Only, he doth not multiply to himself horses, nor cause the people to turn back to Egypt, so as to multiply horses, seeing Jehovah hath said to you, Ye do not add to turn back in this way any more.
17 Mai hoomahuahua hoi oia i na wahine nana, o huli ae kona naau; aole hoi ia e hoomahuahua loa ae i ke kala a me ke gula nona.
And he doth not multiply to himself wives, and his heart doth not turn aside, and silver and gold he doth not multiply to himself — exceedingly.
18 A i kona manawa e noho ai maluna o ka nohoalii o kona aupuni, e kakau iho ia nana i kope o keia kanawai, e like me ka buke imua o ka poe kahuna, na mamo a Levi.
'And it hath been, when he sitteth on the throne of his kingdom, that he hath written for himself the copy of this law, on a book, from [that] before the priests the Levites,
19 Me ia no ia e waiho ai, a e heluhelu no oia ia mea i na la a pau o kona oia ana; i aoia'i oia i ka makau ia Iehova kona Akua, e malama i na huaolelo a pau o keia kanawai, a me keia mau kauoha, e hana aku ia mau mea:
and it hath been with him, and he hath read in it all days of his life, so that he doth learn to fear Jehovah his God, to keep all the words of this law, and these statutes, to do them;
20 I hookiekie ole ai ia i kona naau maluna o kona poe hoahanau, i huli ole aku ia mai ke kauoha ae, ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema; i mea e nui ai na la o kona aupuni, oia a me kana mau keiki iwaena o ka Iseraela.
so that his heart is not high above his brethren, and so as not to turn aside from the command, right or left, so that he prolongeth days over his kingdom, he and his sons, in the midst of Israel.
