Kanawailua 9
1 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.
Hear, O Israel: Today you are about to cross the Jordan to go in and dispossess nations greater and stronger than you, with large cities fortified to the heavens.
2 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?
The people are strong and tall, the descendants of the Anakim. You know about them, and you have heard it said, “Who can stand up to the sons of Anak?”
3 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.
But understand that today the LORD your God goes across ahead of you as a consuming fire; He will destroy them and subdue them before you. And you will drive them out and annihilate them swiftly, as the LORD has promised you.
4 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.
When the LORD your God has driven them out before you, do not say in your heart, “Because of my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land.” Rather, the LORD is driving out these nations before you because of their wickedness.
5 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.
It is not because of your righteousness or uprightness of heart that you are going in to possess their land, but it is because of their wickedness that the LORD your God is driving out these nations before you, to keep the promise He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
6 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,
Understand, then, that it is not because of your righteousness that the LORD your God is giving you this good land to possess, for you are a stiff-necked people.
7 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.
Remember this, and never forget how you provoked the LORD your God in the wilderness. From the day you left the land of Egypt until you reached this place, you have been rebelling against the LORD.
8 Ma Horeba hoi i hoonaukiuki aku ai oukou ia Iehova, a huhu mai la o Iehova ia oukou e luku aku ia oukou.
At Horeb you provoked the LORD, and He was angry enough to destroy you.
9 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:
When I went up on the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant that the LORD made with you, I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I ate no bread and drank no water.
10 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.
Then the LORD gave me the two stone tablets, inscribed by the finger of God with the exact words that the LORD spoke to you out of the fire on the mountain on the day of the assembly.
11 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.
And at the end of forty days and forty nights, the LORD gave me the two stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant.
12 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.
And the LORD said to me, “Get up and go down from here at once, for your people, whom you brought out of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. How quickly they have turned aside from the way that I commanded them! They have made for themselves a molten image.”
13 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.
The LORD also said to me, “I have seen this people, and they are indeed a stiff-necked people.
14 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.
Leave Me alone, so that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven. Then I will make you into a nation mightier and greater than they are.”
15 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.
So I went back down the mountain while it was blazing with fire, with the two tablets of the covenant in my hands.
16 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.
And I saw how you had sinned against the LORD your God; you had made for yourselves a molten calf. You had turned aside quickly from the way that the LORD had commanded you.
17 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.
So I took the two tablets and threw them out of my hands, shattering them before your eyes.
18 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.
Then I fell down before the LORD for forty days and forty nights, as I had done the first time. I did not eat bread or drink water because of all the sin you had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of the LORD and provoking Him to anger.
19 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.
For I was afraid of the anger and wrath that the LORD had directed against you, enough to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me this time as well.
20 A huhu nui mai no hoi o Iehova ia Aarona e pepehi ia ia: a pule aku au no Aarona hoi i kela manawa.
The LORD was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him, but at that time I also prayed for Aaron.
21 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.
And I took that sinful thing, the calf you had made, and burned it in the fire. Then I crushed it and ground it to powder as fine as dust, and I cast it into the stream that came down from the mountain.
22 A ma Tabera, a ma Masa, a ma Kiberohataava, hoonaukiuki aku la oukou ia Iehova.
You continued to provoke the LORD at Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah.
23 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.
And when the LORD sent you out from Kadesh-barnea, He said, “Go up and possess the land that I have given you.” But you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God. You neither believed Him nor obeyed Him.
24 He poe kipi oukou ia Iehova mai ka manawa mai o kuu ike ana ia oukou.
You have been rebelling against the LORD since the day I came to know you.
25 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.
So I fell down before the LORD for forty days and forty nights, because the LORD had said He would destroy you.
26 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.
And I prayed to the LORD and said, “O Lord GOD, do not destroy Your people, Your inheritance, whom You redeemed through Your greatness and brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
27 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;
Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Overlook the stubbornness of this people and the wickedness of their sin.
28 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.
Otherwise, those in the land from which You brought us out will say, ‘Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land He had promised them, and because He hated them, He has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’
29 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.
But they are Your people, Your inheritance, whom You brought out by Your great power and outstretched arm.”
