Kanawailua 4
1 A NO hoi, e hoolohe, e ka Iseraela, i na kanawai a me na olelo kupaa a'u e ao aku nei ia oukou, e malama, i ola oukou, i komo hoi oukou, a noho ma ka aina a Iehova ke Akua o ko oukou poe kupuna e haawi mai ai no oukou.
Hear now, O Israel, the statutes and ordinances I am teaching you to follow, so that you may live and may enter and take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you.
2 Mai hoopili mai oukou i kekahi olelo me ka mea a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oukou, aole hoi oukou e hooemi iho ia, i malama ai oukou i na kauoha a Iehova ko oukou Akua a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oukou.
You must not add to or subtract from what I command you, so that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God that I am giving you.
3 Ua ike ko oukou maka i ka mea a Iehova i hana mai ai no Baala-peora; no ka mea, o na kanaka a pau i hahai mamuli o Baala-peora, na Iehova kou Akua lakou i luku aku mai o oukou aku.
Your eyes have seen what the LORD did at Baal-peor, for the LORD your God destroyed from among you all who followed Baal of Peor.
4 Aka, o oukou, ka poe i pili aku ia Iehova ko oukou Akua, ke ola nei no oukou a pau i keia la.
But you who held fast to the LORD your God are alive to this day, every one of you.
5 Aia hoi, ua ao aku au ia oukou i na kanawai a me na olelo kupaa, e like me ka Iehova ko'u Akua i kauoha mai ai ia'u, e malama oukou pela ma ka aina a oukou e hele aku ai e noho.
See, I have taught you statutes and ordinances just as the LORD my God has commanded me, so that you may follow them in the land that you are about to enter and possess.
6 E malama hoi oukou, a e hana aku; no ka mea, o ko oukou naauao keia, a me ko oukou ike imua o na lahuikanaka, ka poe e lohe i keia mau kanawai a pau, a e i ae lakou, He oiaio, o keia lahuikanaka nui, he poe kanaka naauao a me ka ike.
Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the peoples, who will hear of all these statutes and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”
7 No ka mea, owai la ka lahuikanaka nui, ia lakou ke Akua e hookokoke ana ia lakou, e like me Iehova ko kakou Akua, ma na mea a pau a kakou i kahea aku ai ia ia?
For what nation is great enough to have a god as near to them as the LORD our God is to us whenever we call on Him?
8 A owai hoi ka lahuikanaka nui, ia ia na kanawai, a me na olelo kupaa ma ka pono e like me keia kanawai a pau a'u e waiho nei imua o oukou i keia la.
And what nation is great enough to have righteous statutes and ordinances like this entire law I set before you today?
9 E makaala ia oe iho, a e malama nui hoi i kou naau, o hoopoina auanei oe i na mea a kou maka i ike ai, a o nalowale auanei ia mea i kou naau i na la a pau o kou ola ana; aka, e ao aku ia mau mea i kau mau keiki, a me kau mau moopuna;
Only be on your guard and diligently watch yourselves, so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen, and so that they do not slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and grandchildren.
10 I ka la au i ku ai imua o Iehova kou Akua ma Horeba, i ka Iehova olelo ana mai ia'u, E houluulu oe i na kanaka imua o'u, a e ao aku au ia lakou e hoolohe i ka'u mau olelo, i aoia'i lakou e makau ia'u i na la a pau o ko lakou noho ana ma ka honua, a i ao aku ai lakou i ka lakou poe keiki.
The day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, the LORD said to me, “Gather the people before Me to hear My words, so that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach them to their children.”
11 Hele kokoke mai oukou, a ku ae la malalo o ka mauna; a ua wela ka mauna i ke alii, a iwaena o ka lani me ka poeleele, me ke ao, a me ka pouli nui.
You came near and stood at the base of the mountain, a mountain blazing with fire to the heavens, with black clouds and deep darkness.
12 A olelo mai o Iehova ia oukou maiwaena mai o ke ahi: a lohe oukou i ka leo o na olelo, aole nae oukou i ike aku i ke ano, o ka leo wale no.
And the LORD spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of the words, but saw no form; there was only a voice.
13 Hai mai la no oia ia oukou i ka berita ana i kauoha mai ai ia oukou e malama, oia na kanawai he umi; a kakau iho la no oia ia mau mea ma na papapohaku elua,
He declared to you His covenant, which He commanded you to follow—the Ten Commandments that He wrote on two tablets of stone.
14 A kauoha mai o Iehova ia'u i kela manawa e ao aku ia oukou i na kanawai a me na olelo kupaa, e malama oukou ia mau mea ma ka aina a oukou e hele ai a noho.
At that time the LORD commanded me to teach you the statutes and ordinances you are to follow in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.
15 E malama nui oukou ia oukou iho; no ka mea, aole oukou i ike i kekahi ano kii i ka la a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia oukou ma Horeba mailoko mai o ke ahi;
So since you saw no form of any kind on the day the LORD spoke to you out of the fire at Horeb, be careful
16 O hana hewa auanei, a hana aku oukou i kii kalaiia no oukou, ma ka like ana me kekahi mea, o ke kane, a o ka wahine paha,
that you do not act corruptly and make an idol for yourselves of any form or shape, whether in the likeness of a male or female,
17 Ma ka like ana me kekahi holoholona ma ka honua, ma ka like ana me kekahi manu e lele ana i ke ao;
of any beast that is on the earth or bird that flies in the air,
18 Ma ka like ana me kekahi mea e kolo ana ma ka honua, ma ka like ana me kekahi ia maloko o ka wai malalo ae o ka honua:
or of any creature that crawls on the ground or fish that is in the waters below.
19 A o leha ae auanei kou maka ma ka lani, a ike aku oe i ka la, a me ka mahina, a me na hoku, i na mea a pau o ka lani, a e koiia oe e hoomana aku ia mau mea, a e malama ia lakou, i na mea a Iehova kou Akua i hana'i no na lahuikanaka a pau malalo ae o ka lani.
When you look to the heavens and see the sun and moon and stars—all the host of heaven—do not be enticed to bow down and worship what the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.
20 Aka, ua lawe mai o Iehova ia oukou, a ua alakai hoi ia oukou mailoko mai o ke kapuahihao, mai Aigupita mai, e lilo oukou i poe kanaka hooilina nona, e like me oukou i keia la.
Yet the LORD has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be the people of His inheritance, as you are today.
21 A huhu mai o Iehova ia'u no oukou, a hoohiki iho, aole au e hele ma kela kapa o Ioredane, aole hoi au e komo iloko o kela aina maikai a Iehova kou Akua i hooili mai ai no oukou:
The LORD, however, was angry with me on account of you, and He swore that I would not cross the Jordan to enter the good land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
22 No ka mea, e make no wau ma keia aina, aole au e hele ma kela kapa o Ioredane: aka, e hele no oukou ma kela aoao, a e lilo kela aina maikai no oukou.
For I will not be crossing the Jordan, because I must die in this land. But you shall cross over and take possession of that good land.
23 E malama pono ia oukou iho, o poina ia oukou ka berita a Iehova i hana mai ai me oukou, a hana oukou i kii kalaiia no oukou, ma ka like ana me kekahi mea a Iehova kou Akua i papa mai ai ia oe.
Be careful that you do not forget the covenant of the LORD your God that He made with you; do not make an idol for yourselves in the form of anything He has forbidden you.
24 No ka mea, o Iehova kou Akua, he ahi ia e hoopau ana, he Akua lili.
For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
25 A loaa ia oukou na keiki a me na mamo, a loihi ko oukou noho ana ma ka aina, a e hana hewa oukou, a e hana oukou i kii kalaiia, ma ke ano o kekahi mea, a hana ino hoi imua o na maka o Iehova, e hoonaukiuki ia ia;
After you have children and grandchildren and you have been in the land a long time, if you then act corruptly and make an idol of any form—doing evil in the sight of the LORD your God and provoking Him to anger—
26 Ke hai aku nei au i keia la, he ike maka ka lani a me ka honua ia oukou, e make koke ana oukou, mai ka aina aku a oukou e hele aku ma kela kapa o Ioredane e noho ai; aole e noho loihi oukou malaila, aka, e luku loa ia aku oukou.
I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you this day that you will quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live long upon it, but will be utterly destroyed.
27 A na Iehova oukou e hoopuehu aku iwaena o na lahuikanaka, a e waihoia oukou, he poe uuku iwaena o ko na aina e, kahi a Iehova e kai aku ai ia oukou.
Then the LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the LORD will drive you.
28 A malaila oukou e malama ai i na akua i hanaia e na lima o kanaka, he laau, he pohaku, ka mea ike ole aole hoi e lohe, aole hoi e ai, aole hoi e honi.
And there you will serve man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell.
29 Aka, ina ma ia wahi oe e imi ai ia Iehova kou Akua, e loaa ia oe, ke imi oe ia ia me kou naau a pau, a me kou uhane a pau.
But if from there you will seek the LORD your God, you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
30 A loaa ia oe ka popilikia, a hiki mai keia mau mea a pau maluna ou i na la mahope, a i huli mai oe ia Iehova kou Akua, a hoolohe i kona leo,
When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the LORD your God and listen to His voice.
31 (No ka mea, o Iehova kou Akua, he Akua aloha, ) aole ia e haalele mai ia oe, aole e luku mai ia oe, aole hoi ia e hoopoina i ka berita o kou mau kupuna ana i hoohiki ai ia lakou.
For the LORD your God is a merciful God; He will not abandon you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers, which He swore to them by oath.
32 Ano e ninau aku oe i na la i hala mahope, i ka wa mamua ou, a mai ka manawa mai a ke Akua i hana'i ke kanaka ma ka honua, a mai kela aoao o ka lani a hiki i keia aoao o ka lani, auhea ae nei ka mea like me keia mea nui, auhea ka mea i loheia e like ai me ia?
Indeed, ask now from one end of the heavens to the other about the days that long preceded you, from the day that God created man on earth: Has anything as great as this ever happened or been reported?
33 Owai la ka poe kanaka i lohe i ka leo o ke Akua e olelo ana, mailoko mai o ke ahi, e like me kou lohe ana, a ola?
Has a people ever heard the voice of God speaking out of the fire, as you have, and lived?
34 Ua hoao anei ke Akua e hele a e lawe i lahuikanaka nona maiwaena mai o kekahi lahuikanaka, ma na hoao ana, a ma na hoailona, a ma na mea kupanaha, a ma ke kaua, a ma ka lima ikaika, a ma ka lima kakauha, a ma na mea weliweli nui, e like me na mea a pau a Iehova ko oukou Akua i hana mai ai no oukou ma Aigupita imua o kou maka?
Or has any god tried to take as his own a nation out of another nation—by trials, signs, wonders, and war, by a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors—as the LORD your God did for you in Egypt, before your eyes?
35 Ua hoikeia ia mea ia oe, i ike ai oe, o Iehova, oia ke Akua, aohe mea e ae, oia wale no.
You were shown these things so that you would know that the LORD is God; there is no other besides Him.
36 Oia no ka mea i lohe ai oe i kona leo mai ka lani mai, i ao ai oia ia oe; a ma ka honua, i hoike mai ia ia oe i kona ahi nui; a ua lohe oe i kana mau huaolelo mailoko mai o ke ahi.
He let you hear His voice from heaven to discipline you, and on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the fire.
37 A no kona aloha i na kupuna ou, oia ka mea i wae mai ai ia i ka lakou poe mamo mahope o lakou, a lawe mai oia ia oe imua ona me kona mana nui mai Aigupita mai;
Because He loved your fathers, He chose their descendants after them and brought you out of Egypt by His presence and great power,
38 E hookuke aku i na lahuikanaka mai kou alo aku, i ka poe ua oi aku ko lakou nui, a me ko lakou ikaika i kou, e hookomo ia oe, a e hoolilo i ko lakou aina nou, e like me ia i keia la.
to drive out before you nations greater and mightier than you, and to bring you into their land and give it to you for your inheritance, as it is this day.
39 E ike hoi oe i keia la, a e noonoo maloko o kou naau, o Iehova, oia ke Akua ma ka lani iluna, a ma ka honua ilalo, aole e ae.
Know therefore this day and take to heart that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.
40 E malama hoi oe i kona mau kanawai a me kana mau kauoha a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la, i pomaikai ai oe, a me kau mau keiki mahope ou, a i hooloihi ai oe i na la ma ka aina a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai nou i na la a pau loa.
Keep His statutes and commandments, which I am giving you today, so that you and your children after you may prosper, and that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you for all time.
41 Alaila hookaawale ae la o Mose i na kulanakauhale ekolu ma keia aoao o Ioredane ma ka hiki ana o ka la;
Then Moses set aside three cities across the Jordan to the east
42 I holo ai ka pepehi kanaka malaila, ka mea i pepehi i kona hoalauna me ka ike ole, aole i inaina aku ia ia mamua; a i kona holo ana i kekahi o keia mau kulanakauhale, e ola ia:
to which a manslayer could flee after killing his neighbor unintentionally without prior malice. To save one’s own life, he could flee to one of these cities:
43 O Bezera ma ka waonahele i ka aina papu o ka Reubena; a o Ramota ma Gileada o ka Gada; a o Golana ma Basana o ka Manase.
Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau belonging to the Reubenites, Ramoth in Gilead belonging to the Gadites, or Golan in Bashan belonging to the Manassites.
44 A o keia ke kanawai a Mose i waiho ai imua o na mamo a Iseraela:
This is the law that Moses set before the Israelites.
45 Oia na kauoha a me na kanawai, a me na olelo kupaa a Mose i olelo mai ai i na mamo a Iseraela, mahope o ka lakou hele ana mai Aigupita mai;
These are the testimonies, statutes, and ordinances that Moses proclaimed to them after they had come out of Egypt,
46 Ma keia aoao o Ioredane, ma ke awawa e ku pono ana i Betepeora, i ka aina o Sihona, ke alii o ka Amora ka mea i noho ma Hesebona, ka mea a Mose a me na mamo a Iseraela i pepehi ai, mahope o ka puka ana, mai Aigupita mai:
while they were in the valley across the Jordan facing Beth-peor in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon and was defeated by Moses and the Israelites after they had come out of Egypt.
47 A lilo kona aina ia lakou, a me ka aina o Oga, ke alii o Basana, na'lii elua o ka Amora, ma keia aoao o Ioredane ma ka hiki ana o ka la:
They took possession of the land belonging to Sihon and to Og king of Bashan—the two Amorite kings across the Jordan to the east—
48 Mai Aroera, ma ke kae o ke kahawai o Arenona, a i ka mauna o Ziona, oia hoi o Heremona,
extending from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley as far as Mount Siyon (that is, Hermon),
49 A o ka papu a pau ma keia aoao o Ioredane ma ka hikina, a hiki i ke kai o ka papu, o kahi haahaa ma ke kumu o Pisega,
including all the Arabah on the east side of the Jordan and as far as the Sea of the Arabah, below the slopes of Pisgah.
