Kanawailua 28
1 A I hoolohe pono oe i ka leo o Iehova kou Akua, e malama, a e hana i kana mau kauoha a pau a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la, alaila, na Iehova na kou Akua oe e hookiekie ae maluna o na lahuikanaka a pau o ka honua:
“If you do what Yahweh our God tells you to do and faithfully obey everything that I am today commanding you to do, he will cause you to become greater than any other nation on the earth.
2 E ili mai keia mau pomaikai ana maluna iho ou, a e loaa aku oe ia lakou, ke hoolohe aku oe i ka leo o Iehova kou Akua:
If you obey Yahweh, this is what he will do to bless you:
3 E pomaikai oe ma ke kulanakauhale, e pomaikai hoi oe ma ke kula.
He will bless everything that you do when you are in the cities and he will bless everything that you do when you are [working] in the fields.
4 E pomaikai ka hua o kou kino, a me ka hua o kou aina, a me ka hua o kou holoholona, na keiki a kau mau bipi, a me kau poe hipa.
He will bless you by giving you many children [IDM] and by giving you abundant crops, and plenty of cattle and sheep.
5 E pomaikai kou hinai, a me kou papa kawili ai.
He will bless you by causing you to have good harvests with plenty of grain [MTY] to make bread.
6 E pomaikai oe i kou komo ana iloko, e pomaikai hoi oe i kou hele ana iwaho.
He will bless you [everywhere]—when you go out [of your houses] and when you come into [your houses].
7 O Iehova ka mea e pepehiia'i kou poe enemi imua ou, ke ku e mai ia oe: ma ka aoao hookahi lakou e hele ku e mai ia oe, a ma na aoao ehiku e puehuia'ku ai imua ou.
Yahweh will enable you to defeat [the armies of] your enemies; they will attack you from one direction, but they will run away from you in seven/many directions.
8 Na Iehova oe e hoopomaikai ma kou mau hale papaa, a me na mea a pau a kou lima e lawe ai; a e hoopomaikai mai oia ia oe ma ka aina a Iehova kou Akua e haawi mai ai ia oe.
Yahweh will bless you [by filling] your barns [with grain], and he will bless all the work that you do; he will bless you in the land that he is giving to you.
9 Na Iehova e hookupaa ia oe i poe kanaka laa nona, e like me kana i hoohiki mai ai ia oe, ke malama oe i na kauoha a Iehova kou Akua, ke hele hoi ma kona aoao.
“If you obey all the commandments that Yahweh our God [has given to you] and if you conduct your lives as he wants you to do, you will continue to be his people, which is what he promised.
10 A e ike na kanaka a pau o ka honua, ua kapaia oe ma ka inoa o Iehova; a e makau mai lakou ia oe.
“When all the people-groups on the earth will realize that you belong to [MTY] Yahweh, and they will be afraid of you.
11 E hoolako mai o Iehova ia oe i ka waiwai, i ka hua o kou kino, i ka hua o kou holoholona, a me ka hua o kou aina, ma ka aina a Iehova i hoohiki mai ai i ou mau kupuna e haawi mai ia oe.
“And Yahweh will cause you to prosper very much. He will give you many children [IDM], many cattle, and abundant crops in the land that he vowed to our ancestors that he would give to you.
12 A e wehe mai o Iehova nou i kona waiwai maikai, i ka lani e haawi mai i ka ua ma kou aina i kona raanawa, a e hoopomaikai i na hana a pau a kou lima: e haawi lilo ole aku oe i na lahuikanaka he nui, aole oe e noi wale aku.
“When rain is needed, Yahweh will send it from where he stores it in the sky, and he will bless all your work, with the result that you [will be able to] lend money to many other nations, but you will not need to borrow [money from them].
13 A e hoolilo o Iehova ia oe i poo, aole ka huelo: maluna wale no oe e noho ai, aole hoi oe malalo; ke hoolohe aku oe i na kauoha a Iehova kou Akua a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la, e malama, e hana hoi.
If you faithfully obey all of the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving you today, Yahweh will cause your nation to be a leader among the nations, not inferior to them; you will always be prosperous and never be needy/poor [IDM].
14 Mai kapae ae oe, mai kekahi huaolelo aku a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la, ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema, e hele mamuli o na akua e, e malama ia lakou.
[Yahweh will do all these things for you] if you do not turn away from [obeying] what I am commanding you today, and if you never worship or serve other gods.
15 Aka, i hoolohe ole oe i ka leo o Iehova kou Akua, e malama, a e hana hoi i kana mau kauoha a pan, a me kona mau kanawai a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la; alaila e ili mai ai maluna iho ou keia mau poino a pau, a loaa aku oe ia lakou:
But if you do not do what Yahweh our God is telling you to do, and if you do not faithfully obey all his rules and regulations that I am giving to you today, this is what he will do to curse you:
16 E poino oe ma ke kulanakauhale, e poino hoi oe ma ke kula.
He will curse you when you are in the cities and he will curse you when you are [working] in the fields.
17 E poino kou hinai a me kou papa kawili ai.
He will curse you by not allowing you to have good harvests with plenty of grain [MTY] to make bread.
18 E poino ka hua o kou kino, a me ka hua o kou aina, na keiki a kau mau bipi a me kau poe hipa.
He will curse you by giving you only a few children [IDM], by causing you to have poor crops, and by not enabling you to have many cattle and sheep.
19 E poino oe i kou komo ana iloko, e poino hoi oe i kou hele ana iwaho.
He will curse you [everywhere]—when you go out [of your houses] and when you come into [your houses].
20 Na Iehova e hooili mai maluna iho ou ka poino, ka weliweli, a me ka hoino ma na mea a pau a kou lima e lawe ai e hana, a e lukuia mai oe a make koke oe; no ka hewa o kau hana i haalele mai ai oe ia'u.
If you do evil things and reject Yahweh, he will curse you by causing you to (be confused/not know what to do), and to be frustrated in everything that you do, until [your enemies] quickly and completely destroy you {you will be quickly and completely destroyed}.
21 Na Iehova e hoopili mai ke ahulau ia oe, a pau loa oe i ka make ia ia ma ka aina au e hele aku nei a noho.
Yahweh will cause you to experience terrible diseases, until not one of you remains alive in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
22 A e pepehi mai o Iehova ia oe i ka hokii, a me ke kuni, a me ka li nui, a me ka wela ikaika, a me ka la nui, a me ka huaai malili, a me ka punahelu, a e hahai ia mau mea ia oe a make oe.
Yahweh will strike/afflict you with diseases that shrivel your bodies, with fever, with inflammation/swelling. It will be extremely hot, and it will not rain. There will be scorching winds, and [Yahweh will cause] your crops to rot. All these things will strike you until you die.
23 A e lilo auanei kou lani maluna ou i keleawe, a me ka aina malalo ou i hao.
There will be no rain [MET], [with the result that] the ground will be [as hard as] iron [MET].
24 A e hoolilo o Iehova i ka na o kou aina i one a i lepo: mai ka lani e iho mai ia mea maluna ou, a lukuia oe.
Instead of sending rain, Yahweh will send strong winds to blow sand and dust over your land, until your land is ruined.
25 A e hoolilo o Iehova ia oe i ka pepehiia imua o kou poe enemi: ma ke ala hookahi oe e hele ku e aku ia lakou, a ma na ala ehiku oe e hee aku ai imua o lakou, a e puehu liilii ia oe ma na aupuni a pau o ka honua.
Yahweh will enable your enemies to defeat you; your soldiers will attack your enemies from one direction, but they will run away from your enemies in seven/many directions, and when the people of other nations see what is happening to you, they will say that it is horrible.
26 A e lilo kou heana i mea ai na na manu o ka lewa, a me na holoholona o ka honua, aohe mea e hoomakau aku.
[You will die], and birds and wild animals will come and eat your corpses, and there will not be anyone to scare/shoo them away.
27 A e hahau mai o Iehova ia oe, i ka mai hehe o Aigupita, a me ka hikoko, a me ka pehupala, a me ke kakio, ka mea hiki ole ke hoolaia.
Yahweh will cause you to have boils on your skin, like he caused the people of Egypt to have [many years ago]. He will cause you to have tumors, open sores, and your skin will itch, and there will be nothing that will cure those diseases.
28 A e hahau mai o Iehova ia oe i ka hehena, a me ka makapo, a me ka pihoihoi o ka naau.
Yahweh will cause [some of] you to become insane; he will cause some of you to become blind, and he will cause [some of] your minds to become confused.
29 A e hana aku oe i ka wa awakea e like me ka makapo i hana ai i ka pouli, aole e pomaikai oe ma kou aoao; a e hookaumaha wale ia oe, a e kaili wale ia oe i na la a pau, aohe mea nana oe e hoopakele.
[Because you will not be able to see where you are going], at midday you will (grope/feel your way) around with your hands, like people do in the darkness. You will continually be oppressed and robbed, and no one will help you.
30 A e hoopalau oe i ka wahine, a o ke kanaka e e moe ia ia, a e kukulu oe i ka hale, aole nae oe e noho iloko: a e kanu oe i mala waina, aole oe e ohi i kona hua.
Some of you men will be engaged/promised to marry a young woman, but someone else will rape her. You will build houses, but you will never live in them. You will plant grapevines, but you will not eat the grapes; [someone else will eat them].
31 A e kaluaia kau bipikane imua o kou maka, aole oe e ai ia mea: a e lawe wale ia aku kou hoki mai kou alo aku, aole e hoihoiia mai ia oe: a e haawiia'ku kau poe hipa i kou poe enemi, aole ou mea nana e hoopakele.
Your enemies will butcher your cattle while you watch them, and you will not get any of the meat to eat. They will drag away your donkeys while you watch them do it, and they will not give them back to you. They will take away your sheep; and no one will help you [rescue them].
32 A e haawiia'ku kau mau keikikane a me kau mau kaikamahine i na kanaka e, a e haehae wale na maka ou i ka nana aku, a e hoopauia no lakou, a pau ka la, aohe ikaika iloko o kou lima.
While you watch, your sons and daughters will be given to foreigners to become their slaves. Every day you will very sadly watch for your children to return, but (you will watch in vain/they will never return).
33 O ka hua o kou aina, a me ka mea a pau au i luhi ai, e pau ia i ka aiia e ka lahuikanaka au i ike ole ai; a e lilo oe i mea hooluhi wale ia, a me ka hookaumahaia i na la a pau;
People from a foreign nation will take all the crops that you worked hard to produce, and they will constantly treat you harshly and cruelly [DOU].
34 A e lilo oe i hehena no na mea i ikeia a kou maka e ike ai.
The result will be that all these terrible things that you see/experience will cause you to become insane.
35 A e pepehi mai o Iehova ia oe i ka mai hehe eha ma na kuli, a ma na wawae, ka mea hiki ole ke hoolaia, mai ka poho o kou wawae a hiki i ka piko o kou poo.
Yahweh will cause your legs [to be covered with] painful boils that cannot be healed, and you will have boils from the bottoms of your feet to the tops of your heads.
36 A e lawe aku o Iehova ia oe a me kou alii au e hoonoho ai maluna ou i ka lahuikanaka au i ike ole ai, aole hoi o kou mau makua; a malaila oe e malama ai i na akua e, i ka laau a me ka pohaku.
Yahweh will cause your king and the rest of you to be taken to another country, to a place in which you and your ancestors have never lived before, and there you will worship and serve gods that are made of wood or stone.
37 A e lilo oe i mea kahahaia, a i mea hooheneheneia, a i mea kuamuamuia mawaena o na lahuikanaka a pau a Iehova e alakai aku ai ia oe.
When the people-groups in nearby countries see what has happened to you, they will be shocked/horrified; they will make fun [DOU] of you.
38 A e lawe aku oe i na hua he nui ma ka mahinaai. a he mea uuku kau e ohi mai: no ka mea, e pau ia i ka uhini.
You will plant plenty of seeds in your fields, but you will reap only a small harvest, because locusts will eat the crops.
39 A e kanu oe i na mala waina, a malama hoi; aole nae oe e inu i ka waina, aole hoi e ohi i ka hua: no ka mea, e pau ia i ka aiia e ka enuhe.
You will plant grapevines and take care of them, but you will not pick any grapes to make wine, because worms will eat the vines.
40 A ia oe no na laau oliva ma kou mau mokuna a pan, aka, aole oe e kahinu ia oe iho i ka aila: no ka mea, e haule ka hua oliva ou.
Olive trees will grow everywhere in your land, but you will not get any olive oil to rub on your skin because the olives will drop [on the ground before they are ripe].
41 Nau mai no na keikikane a me na kaikamahine, aole nae nou lakou; no ka mea, e alakai pio ia'ku lakou.
You will have sons and daughters, but they will not stay with you, because they will be captured and taken away.
42 E pau auanei kou mau laau a pau a me ka hua o kou aina i ka uhini.
Swarms of locusts/insects will eat your crops and [the leaves of] all your trees.
43 A o ka malihini e noho pu ana me oe, e hookiekie loa ia maluna ou, a e hoohaahaa loa ia oe malalo.
Foreigners who live in your land will become more and more [powerful], and you will become less and less [powerful].
44 A e haawi lilo ole kela ia oe, aole oe e haawi lilo ole ia ia; a lilo ia i poo, a o oe ka huelo.
They will [have money to] lend to you, but you will not [have any money to] lend to them. They will be superior [IDM] to you, and you will be inferior to them [IDM].
45 A e hiki mai auanei neia mau mea poino a pau maluna ou, a e hahai mai ia oe, a loaa oe, a make oe, no kou hoolohe ole i ka leo o Iehova kou Akua, e malama i kana mau kauoha a me kona mau kanawai ana i kauoha mai ai ia oe.
“You will experience all these disasters, and you will continue to experience them you until you are destroyed, if you do not do what Yahweh your God told you to do, and do not obey all the rules and regulations that he gave to you.
46 A maluna ou ia mau mea, i hoailona a i mea kupanaha, a maluna hoi o kau poe mamo i ka manawa pau ole.
“These disasters will warn [DOU] you and your descendants forever [about what happens to groups who disobey Yahweh].
47 I kou malama ole ia Iehova kou Akua me ka olioli, a me ka hauoli o ka naau, no ka nui o na mea a pau;
“Because Yahweh blessed you abundantly in many ways, you should have served him very joyfully [DOU], but you did not do that.
48 No ia mea, e hookauwa auanei oe na kou poe enemi a Iehova e hoouna mai ai e ku e ia oe, me ka pololi, a me ka makewai, a me ka olohelohe, a me ka nele i na mea a pau: a e kau mai ia i ka auamo hao maluna o kou a-i, a e hoopau mai ia ia oe.
“Therefore, you will work for the enemies whom Yahweh will send to attack you. You will be hungry and thirsty; you will not have clothes to wear; and you will lack everything else that you need. And Yahweh will cause you to become slaves [MET] and work hard until he gets rid of you.
49 E lawe mai auanei o Iehova i lahuikanaka e ku e ia oe, mai kahi loihi e mai, mai ka palena o ka honua, e like me ka aeto e lele ana; he lahuikanaka, aole oe e lohe i ka lakou olelo;
“Yahweh will cause an army from very far away [HYP] to attack you, whose soldiers speak a language that you do not know/understand. They will swoop down on you [quickly] like an eagle [SIM] attacks its prey.
50 He lahuikanaka makakoa, aole e malama mai i ka elemakule, aole hoi e aloha mai i ka mea opiopio:
They will be fierce looking. They will not act mercifully toward anyone, not even young children and old people.
51 A e ai iho no ia i ka hua o kou holoholona, a me ka hua o kou aina, a hoopauia mai oe: aole ia e waiho nau i ka palaoa, aole i ka waina, aole hoi i ka aila, aole i na keiki o kau poe bipi, a me kau poe hipa, a e hoopau mai oia ia oe.
They will [kill and] eat your livestock, and they will eat your crops, and you will (starve/die because you do not have anything to eat). They will not leave for you any grain or wine or [olive] oil or cattle or sheep; and you will all die [from hunger].
52 A e hoopilikia mai oia ia oe ma kou mau ipuka a pau, a hiolo ilalo kou mau pa pohaku kiekie a pau, kahi au i hilinai ai, ma kou aina a pau: a e hoopilikia mai oia ia oe ma kou mau ipuka a pau, ma kou aina a pau a Iehova kou Akua i kaawi mai ai ia oe.
Your enemies will surround your towns throughout the land that Yahweh your God is about to give to you, and they will break down the high and strong walls [around your towns], walls which you trusted/thought would protect you.
53 A e ai auanei oe i ka hua o kou opu iho, i ka io o kau mau keikikane, a me kau mau kaikamahine a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai ia oe, i ke kaua ana a me ka popilikia a kou poe enemi e hoopopilikia mai ai ia oe:
“When your enemies are surrounding [your towns], you will be extremely hungry, with the result that you will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters that Yahweh your God has given to you.
54 O ke kanaka palupalu, a maikai ke kino, e makaino aku ia i kona hoahanau, a me ka wahine o kona poli, a me kana mau keiki i koe ana i waiho ai:
When your enemies have surrounded your towns, even the most gentle and sensitive men among you will want food very desperately, with the result that they will [kill their own children and] eat their flesh, because they will not have anything else to eat. They will not even share any of it with their brothers or wives whom they love very much or with any of their children who are still alive.
55 Aole ia e haawi aku i kekahi o lakou i ka io o kana mau keiki ana e ai ai; no ka mea, aole mea i koe i ke kaua, a i ka pilikia a kou poe enemi e hoopilikia mai ai ia oe ma kou mau ipuka a pau.
56 A o ka wahine palupalu, a maikai ke kino, ka mea pono ole ia ia ke hehi kona wawae maluna o ka honua no ka maikai, a no ka palupalu, e nana ino aku kona maka i ke kane o kona poli, a me kana keikikane, a me kana kaikamahine,
Even the most gentle and sensitive/kind women among you, who are very refined/rich with the result that they have never had to walk anywhere [HYP], will do the same thing. When your enemies have surrounded your towns, those women will be extremely hungry, with the result that after they give birth to a baby, they will secretly [kill it and] eat its flesh and also eat its afterbirth. And they will not share any of it with their husbands whom they love very much or with any of their other children.
57 A me kona iewi i puka mai iwaena o kona mau wawae, a me na keiki ana i hanau ai: a no ka nele i na mea a pau, e ai malu no oia ia lakou, no ke kaua, a no ka pilikia a kou poe enemi e hoopilikia ai ia oe ma kou mau ipuka.
58 Ina paha i ole oe e malama pono i na olelo a pau o keia kanawai i kakauia maloko o keia buke, e makau ana i keia inoa nui weliweli, ia IEHOVA KOU AKUA;
“If you do not faithfully obey all of the laws that I am writing, and if you do not revere Yahweh our glorious God [MTY],
59 Alaila e hana kupanaha mai o Iehova i kou mea ino, a me na mea ino o kou hua, i na mea ino nui e mau ana, a me na mai ino e mau ana.
he will [punish you by] causing you and your descendants to experience great afflictions and plagues which will last for many years.
60 A e lawe mai hoi o Iehova maluna ou i na mai a pau o Aigupita au i makau ai, a e pili mai ia mau mea ia oe.
He will cause you to experience the plagues that he sent on the people of Egypt, and you will never be healed.
61 A o na mai a pau, a me na ahulau a pau i kakau ole ia maloko o ka buke o keia kanawai, e kau mai o Iehova ia mau mea maluna ou, a make oe.
He will also cause you to experience many other sicknesses and diseases that I have not talked about in these laws, until you all will die.
62 A e waihoia oukou he poe uuku; mamua ua like oukou me na hoku o ka lani ka nui; no ka mea, aole oukou i hoolohe i ka leo o Iehova kou Akua.
You became as numerous as the stars in the sky, but only a few of you will remain alive, if you do not obey Yahweh your God.
63 A e like me ka Iehova i olioli ai maluna o oukou e hoopomaikai ia oukou, a e hoonui ia oukou; pela auanei e olioli ai o Iehova maluna o oukou e luku ia oukou, a e hoolilo ia oukou i mea ole: a e laweia'ku oukou mai ka aina aku au e hele aku nei e noho.
Yahweh was very happy to do good things for you and to cause you to become very numerous, but now he will be happy to ruin you and get rid of you. [Those of] you [who do not die from these plagues] will be snatched away from the land that you will soon be entering to possess.
64 A e hoopuehu aku o Iehova ia oe mawaena o na kanaka a pau mai kela aoao o ka honua, a hiki i keia aoao o ka honua; a malaila oe e malama ai i na akua e, i ka laau a me ka pohaku, au i ike ole ai, aole hoi kou mau makua.
“Yahweh will scatter you among many people-groups, all over the earth, and in those areas/places you will serve other gods that are made of wood or stone, gods which you and your ancestors have never known/worshiped.
65 A iwaena o ia mau lahuikanaka aole e loaa ia oe ka oluolu, aole hoi ka maha no ke kapuwai o kou wawae; a e haawi mai o Iehova ia oe malaila i naau haalulu, a me ka mai e pau ai na maka, a me ka pilihua o ka naau.
In those places you will be restless. Yahweh will cause you to be constantly worried/anxious, feel hopeless, and discouraged.
66 A e kanaluaia kou ola imua ou, a e makau oe i ka po a me ke ao, aohe mea e lana'i kou manao e ola.
You will always be afraid that your enemies will kill you. You will be very fearful, all day and all night.
67 I kakahiaka e olelo iho oe, Ina paha i hiki mai ke ahiahi! a i ke ahiahi e olelo iho oe, Ina paha i hiki mai ke kakahiaka! no ka mea makau a kou naau e makau ai, a no ka mea ikea a kou maka e ike ai.
Because you will be very fearful/afraid because of the [terrible] things that you see, each morning you will say ‘I wish it were evening already!’ and each evening you will say ‘I wish it were morning already!’
68 A e hoihoi aku o Iehova ia oe ma Aigupita iloko o na moku, ma ke ala a'u i olelo ai ia oe, Aole oe e ike hou aku ia wahi: a malaila e kuaiia'ku ai oukou no ko oukou poe enemi, i poe kauwakane, a i poe kauwawahine, aohe mea nana e kuai mai.
Yahweh will send [some of] you back to Egypt in ships, even though he promised that you would never [be forced to] go there again. There in Egypt you will try to sell yourselves to become slaves of your enemies [in order to have food to eat], but no one will buy you. [All those things will happen to you if you do not obey the laws that Yahweh is giving to you].”
