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.
People of Israel, pay attention to the rules and regulations I'm teaching you to observe. That way you can stay alive, and go in and take over the country the Lord, the God of your forefathers, 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 are not to add to or take away from what I'm telling you, so that you can keep the commandments of the Lord your God that I'm ordering you to follow.
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.
You've seen for yourselves what the Lord did at Baal-peor where the Lord your God killed everyone among you who worshiped 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.
Those of you who were faithful to the Lord your God are still alive today, 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.
Listen, I have taught you the rules and regulations just as the Lord my God ordered me to do, so you can follow them in the country that you are about to enter and take over.
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.
Be careful to observe them, because this will demonstrate your wisdom and insight to the other people living there who are watching. They will find out about all these rules and say, “The people of this great nation are very wise and have good insight.”
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?
What nation is as great as us, having a god so close 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.
What nation is as great as us, having such good rules and regulations like all these laws that I'm placing 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;
Just make sure to be very careful, and really watch what you do, so you don't forget the things you've have seen. Keep them in mind 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.
That day when you stood in the presence of the Lord your God at Horeb, the Lord told me, “Have the people come to me and to hear what I have to say, so they may learn to have respect for me throughout their lives here on earth, and so they may teach this 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 gathered and stood at the foot of the mountain. The mountain was on fire, shooting out flames into the sky and producing thick dark clouds.
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.
The Lord spoke to you from the fire. You heard the words, but you didn't see the form of anyone speaking—there was just 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 explained to you his agreement, the Ten Commandments, which he ordered you to follow. He wrote them down 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.
This was the time that the Lord ordered me to teach you the rules and regulations that you are to follow when you arrive in the country you're going to own once you've crossed the Jordan.
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;
You didn't see any form when the Lord spoke to you from the fire at Horeb, so be very 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 don't spoil your relationship with the Lord by making an idol for yourselves in any shape or form, whether it looks like 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;
or any land animal or bird that flies,
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 animal that crawls on the ground or any fish in the deep sea.
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 up at the sky and see the sun, moon, and stars—all the heavenly bodies—don't be tempted to bow down to them. Don't worship them like all the other nations on earth in the way that the Lord has allowed.
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.
Remember that the Lord took you and led you out of the iron furnace which was Egypt to be his own people, just 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:
But the Lord was angry with me because of you, and he vowed that I wouldn't cross the Jordan to enter the good land that the Lord your God is giving you to own.
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.
So I will not be crossing the Jordan, because I have to die here in this land. But you will cross over and occupy 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.
However, be careful not to forget the agreement of the Lord your God that he made with you. Don't make an idol for yourselves in the form of anything, because he has forbidden you to do this.
24 No ka mea, o Iehova kou Akua, he ahi ia e hoopau ana, he Akua lili.
For the Lord your God is a fire that burns everything up. He is an exclusive 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 been living in the country for a long time and have had children and grandchildren, if you then spoil the relationship you have with the Lord and make an idol in any form. The Lord your God sees this as evil makes him angry.
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.
If you do this, I call on heaven and earth to be witnesses against you today that you will be completely wiped out from the country that you are crossing the Jordan to occupy. You will not live long there—you will be totally 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.
The Lord will scatter you among the other nations, and not many of you will survive in the countries where the Lord has exiled 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.
There you will worship gods of wood and stone made by human beings. These idols can't 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.
However, if while you're there you decide to come to the Lord your God, you will find him if you come to him whole-heartedly, with complete commitment.
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 trouble, after you've experienced all these things, then eventually you will return to the Lord your God and do what he says.
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.
The Lord your God is a merciful God. He won't abandon you or destroy you or forget the agreement he made with your forefathers, confirmed by a solemn promise.
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?
Think about it! Examine the whole of history from the beginning of time, long before you existed, when God made human beings, right up until now. Ask this question anywhere, from one end of the earth to the other: Has anything as amazing as this ever happened before; has anyone ever heard anything like this?
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, like you have, and survived?
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?
Has any god tried to take a nation out of another nation and make them his own, using tests and signs and miracles and war—with his great power and incredible strength and terrifying actions—like the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, before your very 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 all this so you could be certain that the Lord is God and there is no one like 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 made you hear his voice from heaven so you would obey him. On earth he revealed himself though blazing fire, and you heard him speak to you from 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 forefathers, he chose you, their descendants. He himself led you out of Egypt by his 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.
driving out ahead of you nations that were greater and stronger than you, in order to lead you to their land and give it to you as yours to own, just as you do today.
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.
So today be sure about this and never forget: the Lord is the only God in heaven above and on the earth below.
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.
Observe his rules and regulations that I'm giving you right now, so that you and your children will do well, and that you may have long lives in the country 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 assigned three sanctuary towns to the east of the Jordan
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:
where a person could run to after accidentally killing someone without deliberate hatred. To save their life they could run to one of these towns:
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 desert plain belonging to the tribe of Reuben; Ramoth in Gilead belonging to the tribe of Gad, or Golan in Bashan belonging to the tribe of Manasseh.
44 A o keia ke kanawai a Mose i waiho ai imua o na mamo a Iseraela:
This is the law that Moses placed 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 laws, rules, and regulations Moses gave 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:
This was when they were in the valley to the east of the Jordan near Beth-peor in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites. He had ruled from Heshbon and had been defeated by Moses and the Israelites after they had left 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 over his country and the country of Og king of Bashan. (They were the two kings of the Amorites who previously ruled on the east side of the Jordan.)
48 Mai Aroera, ma ke kae o ke kahawai o Arenona, a i ka mauna o Ziona, oia hoi o Heremona,
The territory went from the town of Aroer on the edge of the Arnon Valley all the way to Mount Sirion, otherwise known as Mount 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,
and included all the Arabah to the east of the Jordan down as far as the Dead Sea beside the slopes of Mount Pisgah.
