Kanawailua 1
1 EIA na olelo a Mose i olelo aku ai i ka Iseraela a pau ma keia aoao o Ioredane, ma ka waonahele, ma ka papu e ku pono ana i Zupa, mawaena o Parana a me Topela, a me Labana, a me Hazerota, a me Dizahaba.
In this book is written what Moses/I said to the Israeli people. He/I told them these things when they/we were in the desert, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. They/We had set up our tents near [a place named] Suph, between Paran [town on the one side of the river] and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab [towns on the other side of the river].
2 (He umikumamakahi la hele mai Horeba, ma ke ala o Mauna Seira, a hiki i Kadesabanea.)
To walk from Sinai [Mountain] to the Kadesh-Barnea [oasis], people usually travel for only eleven days, going by way of the hilly area named Edom.
3 A i ka makahiki kanaha, i ka malama umikumamakahi, i ka la mua o ka malama, olelo aku la o Mose i na mamo a Iseraela, e like me na mea a pau a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia ia no lakou;
Forty years after (the Israelis/we) left Egypt, in the middle of January, Moses/I told the Israeli people everything that Yahweh had commanded him/me to tell them.
4 Mahope iho o kana pepehi ana ia Sihona ke alii o ka Amora, ka mea i noho ma Hesebona, a ia Oga ke alii o Basana, ka mea i noho ma Asetarota i Ederei:
This was after they/we had defeated Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lived in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king of the Bashan [region] who lived in Ashtaroth and Edrei [towns].
5 Ma keia aoao o Ioredane, ma ka aina o Moaba, i hoomaka'i o Mose e hai aku i keia kanawai, i aku la,
Moses/I told them these things while the people were in the Moab region, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. He/I (explained to them/enabled them to understand) God’s laws. This is what he/I said to them:
6 Olelo mai la o Iehova ko kakou Akua ia kakou ma Horeba, i mai la, Ua loihi ko oukou noho ana ma keia mauna:
“Yahweh our God said to us when we were at Sinai [Mountain], ‘You have stayed for a very long time at [the bottom of] this mountain.
7 E huli ae oukou, a i ka hele ana, e hele oukou i ka mauna o ka Amora, a i kona poe e noho ana a pau, ma na papu, ma na puu, a ma ke awawa, a ma ke kukuluhema, a ma kahakai, i ka aina o ko Kanaana, a i Lebanona, a i ka muliwai nui, ka muliwai o Euperate.
So now continue traveling. Go to the hilly area where the Amor people-group lives and to the nearby areas—to the Jordan [River] Valley, to the hilly region, to the western (foothills/hills at the bottom of the mountains), to the desert area to the south, to the [Mediterranean] Seacoast, to all of Canaan land, to the Lebanon [Mountains], and [northeast] to the great Euphrates River.
8 Aia hoi, ua haawi aku au i ka aina no oukou, e komo oukou, a e la we i ka aina a Iehova i hoohiki ai i ko oukou mau kupuna, ia Aberahama, ia Isaaka, a ia Iakoba, e haawi ia lakou, a me ka lakou poe mamo mahope o lakou.
Note that I will give that land to you. I, Yahweh, promised to your ancestors Abraham and Isaac and Jacob that I would give it to them and to their descendants. So now go and occupy it.’”
9 Olelo aku la au ia oukou i kela manawa, i aku la, Aole e hiki ia'u, owau wale, ke halihali ia oukou:
Moses/I also said to the people, “When [we were still at Sinai Mountain], I told your ancestors ‘It is a very big burden/responsibility for me to govern all of you. So I cannot do it by myself.
10 Ua hoonui mai o Iehova ko oukou Akua ia oukou, aia hoi, ua like oukou i keia la me na hoku o ka lani, he nui loa.
Yahweh our God has caused us Israelis to now become as numerous as the stars in the sky.
11 (A na Iehova ke Akua o ko oukou poe kupuna, e hoonui patausani aku ia oukou, a e hoomaikai mai ia oukou e like me kana i olelo mai ai ia oukou!)
And I hope/desire that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], will cause us to become 1,000 times as numerous as we are now and that he will bless us just like he promised to do.
12 Pehea la e hiki ai ia'u, owau wale no ke halihali i ko oukou kaumaha, a me ko oukou luhi, a me ko oukou hoopaapaa ana?
But I certainly cannot [RHQ] (solve/deal with) all of your complaints/problems.
13 E wae oukou no oukou i na kanaka akamai, naauao, a ikeia e na hanauna kanaka o oukou, a e hoolilo au ia lakou i poe luna no oukou.
So choose some men from your tribes who are wise and who have good sense and who are respected. Then I will appoint them to be your leaders.’
14 Olelo mai la oukou ia'u, i mai la, He mea pono ke hana i ka mea au i olelo mai nei.
Your ancestors replied, ‘What you have suggested is good for us to do.’
15 A lawe aku la au i na luna o ko oukou mau ohana, i na kanaka naauao, a ikeia, a hoolilo iho la ia lakou i poo maluna o oukou, i luna no na tausani, i luna no na haneri, i luna no na kanalima, a i luna no na umi. i alii no ko oukou mau ohana.
So I took the wise and respected men [that your ancestors chose] from your tribes, and I appointed them to be your leaders. I appointed some to (rule/have authority) over 1,000 people, some to have authority over 100 people, some to have authority over 50 people, and some to have authority over ten people. I also appointed other officers from throughout your tribes.
16 A kauoha aku la au i na lunakanawai o oukou i kela manawa, i ka i ana'e, E hoolohe oukou i na mea iwaena o na hoahanau o oukou, a e hoopono ma ka pololei iwaena o ke kanaka a me kona hoahanau, iwaena o ka malihini me ia.
I instructed/told your leaders, ‘Listen to the disputes that occur among your people. Judge each dispute, including disputes between close relatives and quarrels between your people and people from other countries who live among you.
17 Mai nana oukou i na maka i ka hooponopono ana; e lohe oukou i ka ka mea uuku e like me ka ka mea nui; mai makau oukou i ka maka o ke kanaka; no ka mea, na ke Akua ka hooponopono ana; a o ka mea pohihihi ia oukou, e lawe mai ia mea ia'u, a na'u ia e lohe aku.
You must (be impartial/not favor one person more than another); you must treat poor people and important people equally. You must not worry about what anyone will think [about how you decide matters], because you will decide matters as God [wants you to]. If any quarrel/dispute is very difficult and you are unable to decide it, bring it to me, and I will decide.’
18 A kauoha aku la au ia oukou i kela manawa i na mea a pau a oukou e hana aku ai.
At that time I also told you other things that you should do.”
19 A ia kakou i haalele ai ia Horeba, hele kakou maloko o kela waonahele nui weliweli a pau, a oukou i ike ai ma ke ala o ka mauna o ka Amora, e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia kakou; a hiki kakou ma Kadesabanea.
“Then, just like Yahweh our God commanded us, we left Sinai [Mountain] and went through that huge desert that was very (dangerous/difficult to travel through), on the road to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. We arrived at Kadesh-Barnea.
20 A aku la au ia oukou, Ua hiki mai oukou ma ka mauna o ka Amora, ka mea a Iehova ko kakou Akua i haawi mai ai no kakou.
I said to your ancestors, ‘We have now come to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. This is part of the area that Yahweh our God, the one whom our ancestors [worshiped], is giving to us.
21 Aia hoi, ke waiho mai nei o Iehova kou Akua i ka aina imua ou: e pii ae, e komo, e like me ka Iehova ke Akua o kou mau kupuna i olelo mai ai ia oe; mai makau, mai hoopauaho.
Note that Yahweh our God is giving this land to us. So go and occupy it as he commanded. Do not be (at all/even a little bit) afraid.’
22 A hele mai la oukou a pau io'u nei, i mai la, E hoouna aku kakou i na kanaka imua o kakou, a e makaikai lakou i ka aina no kakou, a e hai mai ia kakou i ke ala a kakou e pii aku ai, a me na kulanakauhale a kakou e hele aku ai.
But all of your ancestors came to me and said, ‘Before we go, we should [first] send some men there to explore the land, in order that they can return and tell us which will be the best road to go there and what kind of towns are there.’
23 Oluolu iho la au ia olelo: a lawe ae la au i na kanaka o oukou, he umikumamalua, pakahi ke kanaka no kela ohana, keia ohana.
I thought that it would be good to do that, so I chose twelve men, one man from each tribe.
24 Huli ae la lakou, a pii aku la ma ka mauna, a hiki ma ke kahawai o Esekola, a makaikai aku la i ka aina
They went up into the hilly area as far as Eshcol Valley, and they explored all that area.
25 Lawe lakou i ka hua o ka aina ma ko lakou mau lima, a iho mai io kakou nei, a hai mai ia kakou, i mai la, He maikai ka aina a Iehova ko kakou Akua e haawi mai nei ia kakou.
They picked some of the fruit that they found there and brought it to us. They reported that the land that Yahweh our God was giving to us is very good/fertile.”
26 Aole nae oukou i pii aku, aka, kipi aku oukou i ke kauoha a Iehova ko oukou Akua.
“But your ancestors refused to go [and conquer that land]. They rebelled against what Yahweh our God had commanded them to do, and they would not go into that land.
27 A ohumu ae la oukou iloko o ko oukou mau halelewa, i iho la, No ka inaina o Iehova ia kakou, i lawe mai ai oia ia kakou mailoko mai o ka aina o Aigupita, e haawi ia kakou iloko o ka lima o ka Amora, e luku mai ia kakou.
Your ancestors [stayed] in their tents and complained saying ‘Yahweh hates us. So he has brought us here from Egypt just to allow the Amor people-group to destroy us.
28 Mahea la uanei kakou e pii aku ai? Ua hooweliweli mai ko kakou mau hoahanau i ko kakou naau, ua i mai, Ua nui e aku na kanaka, na loihi hoi lakou ia kakou; a o na kulanakauhale nui, ua paa i ka pa pohaku a hala i ka lani; a ua ike hoi makou i na keiki a Anaka malaila.
(Why should we go there?/We do not want to go there.) [RHQ] The men whom we sent there have caused us to become very discouraged/afraid. They have told us that the people there are much stronger and taller than we are and that there are extremely high [HYP] walls around their towns. Also they reported that they saw [giants there that are] descendants of Anak.’
29 I aku la au ia oukou, Mai hopohopo oukou, mai makau hoi ia lakou.
Then I said to your ancestors, ‘Do not be afraid (at all/even a little bit) [DOU] of those people!
30 O Iehova ko oukou Akua, ka mea hele imua o oukou, nana no e kaua aku no oukou, e like me na mea a pau ana i hana'i no oukou ma Aigupita imua o ko oukou maka:
Yahweh our God will go ahead of you, and he will fight for you, just like you saw him do for you in Egypt
31 A ma ka waonahele, kahi au i ike ai ia Iehova kou Akua, e like me ka ke kanaka hali ana i kana keiki, pela ia i hali ai ia oe ma ke ala a pau a oukou i hele ai, a hiki mai oukou ma keia wahi.
and in the desert. You saw how he brought you safely here, like a man would carry his son. [SIM]’
32 Aka, ma keia mea, aole no oukou i hooiaio aku i ka Iehova ko oukou Akua;
[I reminded them that] he always went ahead of them while they traveled [in the desert]. He directed them by [a pillar of] fire during the night and a [pillar of] cloud during the day. He showed them places to set up their tents. But in spite of what I said, your ancestors would not trust Yahweh our God.
33 Oia ka i hele ae ma ke ala imua o oukou, ma ke ahi i ka po, a ma ke ao i ke ao, e imi ana i wahi no oukou e kukulu ai i ko oukou mau halelewa, e kuhikuhi ana ia oukou i ke ala e hele ai.
34 A lohe mai la o Iehova i ka leo o ka oukou olelo, a huhu mai la ia oukou, a hoohiki iho la, i ka i ana mai,
Yahweh heard what they said, and he became angry. He solemnly declared,
35 He oiaio, aole loa kekahi o keia poe kanaka o keia hanauna ino e ike aku i ka aina maikai a'u i hoohiki ai e haawi aku no ko oukou poe kupuna;
‘Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, will enter the land. He has obeyed me completely. So I will give to him and to his descendants [some of] the land that he explored. He is the only one of all you people who will enter that land. None of these evil people will ever see that good land which I solemnly promised to give to your ancestors.’
36 O Kaleba wale no ke keiki a Iepune; oia ke ike aku ia, a e haawi aku au i ka aina ana i hehi iho ai nona, a no kana mau keiki; no ka mea, ua hahai kupaa aku la ia ia Iehova.
37 Huhu mai no hoi o Iehova ia'u no oukou, i mai la, Aole hoi oe e hele ilaila.
But because of [what] your ancestors [did], Yahweh was also angry with me. He said to me, ‘You also will not enter that land.
38 O Iosua, ke keiki a Nuna, e ku ana imua on, oia ke hele ilaila: e hooikaika oe ia ia, no ka mea, nana no ia e hooili aku no ka Iseraela.
Joshua, the son of Nun, who is your helper, will enter it. Encourage him, because he is the one who will enable you Israeli people to occupy that land.’
39 O ka oukou poe keiki uuku a oukou i i mai ai e lilo auanei i poe pio, a me na keiki a oukou, ka poe ike ole ai i ka pono a i hewa ia la, o lakou ke hele ilaila, a na'u ia e haawi aku no lakou, a e komo no lakou ia wahi.
Then Yahweh said to all of us, ‘You said that your children would be captured by your enemies. Because they are very young, they do not yet know what is good and what is evil. But they are the ones to whom I will give that land, and they will enter it and occupy it.
40 Aka, o oukou, e haliu ae oukou, a e hele ma ka waonahele ma ke ala o ke Kaiula.
But as for you, turn around and go back into the desert, toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba).’
41 Alaila, olelo mai la oukou, i mai la ia'u, Ua hana hewa makou ia Iehova, e pii no makou, a e kaua aku, e like me na mea a pau a Iehova ko kakou Akua i kauoha mai ai ia kakou. A i ka wa a oukou, a kela kanaka, keia kanaka i hawele ai i kana mea kaua, ua makaukau oukou e pii maluna o ka puu.
Then your ancestors replied, ‘We have sinned; we have disobeyed Yahweh. So we will go and attack [the people who live in] that land, just like Yahweh our God commanded us to do.’ And each of their men put on his weapons, and they thought that it would be easy to invade the hilly region.
42 I mai la o Iehova ia'u, E i aku oe ia lakou, Mai pii oukou, aole hoi e kaua aku: no ka mea, aole owau me oukou; o lukuia mai oukou e ko oukou poe enemi.
But Yahweh said to me, ‘Tell them, “Do not go up there and attack those people, because I will not go with you. If you go, your enemies will defeat you.”’
43 A olelo aku la au ia oukou, aole oukou i hoolohe mai; hoohala oukou i ke kauoha a Iehova, aa aku la oukou, a pii ae la maluna o ka puu.
So I told that to your ancestors, but they would not heed what I said. They [again] rebelled against what Yahweh commanded them to do. Their soldiers proudly/arrogantly marched up into that hilly region.
44 A o ka Amora e noho ana ma ua puu la, hele mai lakou e ku e ia oukou, a hahai mai lakou ia oukou, e like me ka ka nalomeli hana ana, a pepehi mai ia oukou ma Seira a hiki mai i Horema.
Then the men of the Amor people-group who lived in that region came out [of their towns] and attacked those soldiers. They pursued your ancestors’ soldiers like [a swarm of] bees pursues people, and they pursued them [south] from the Edom area and defeated them at Hormah [city].
45 A hoi hou mai oukou, a uwe iho la imua o Iehova: aka, aole o Iehova i hoolohe mai i ko oukou leo, aole hoi ia i haliu mai i ka pepeiao ia oukou.
So your ancestors went back [to Kadesh-Barnea] and cried out to request Yahweh [to help them], but he did not heed them. He did not pay any attention to them [DOU].
46 A noho iho la oukou ma Kadesa i na la he nui, e like me na la a oukou i noho ai.
So we stayed there at Kadesh-Barnea for a long time.”
