Iosua 22

1 A LAILA, kahea aku la o Iosua i ka Reubena, a me ka Gada a me ka ohana hapa a Munase,

Then Joshua summoned the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

2 Olelo aku la oia ia lakou, Ua malama oukou i na mea a pau i kauoha mai ai o Mose, ke kauwa o Iehova ia oukou, a ua hoolohe mai oukou i ko'u leo e like me na mea a pau a'u i kauoha aku ai ia oukou:

He told them, “You have done everything that Moses, the servant of the Lord, told you to do, and you have followed all the commands I gave you.

3 Aole oukou i haalele i ko oukou poe hoahanau i na la a pau a hiki i neia la, aka, ua malama oukou i ka olelo i kauoha mai ai o Iehova, ko oukou Akua.

You have never abandoned your brothers all this time, right up to the present day. You have carefully followed what the Lord your God ordered you to do.

4 Ano la, ua hoomaha mai o Iehova ko oukou Akua i ko oukou poe hoahanau, e like me kana olelo ana mai ia lakou; ano la, e hoi aku oukou, a e hele hou i ko oukou mau halelewa, i ka aina i loaa ia oukou, ua haawi mai o Mose, ke kauwa a Iehova ia oukou i kela kapa o Ioredane.

Now that the Lord your God has given peace to your brothers, as he promised, go back home to your land that Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave you on the other side of the Jordan.

5 Aka, e ao pono oukou, e malama i ke kauoha a me ke kanawai i kauoha mai ai o Mose, ke kauwa a Iehova ia oukou, e aloha aku ia Iehova ko oukou Akua, e hele aku ma kona aoao a pau, e malama aku hoi i kona kanawai, e hoopili aku ia ia, a e hookauwa aku hoi nana, me ko oukou naau a pau, a me ko oukou uhane a pau.

But make sure you keep the commandments and the law as Moses instructed you. Love the Lord your God, follow all his ways, keep his commandments, stay close to him, and serve him with your whole being.”

6 Alaila, hoomaikai aku la o Iosua ia lakou, a hookuu aku. A hele aku la lakou i ko lakou mau halelewa.

Joshua blessed them, sent them on their way, and they went home.

7 Ua haawi mai o Mose no kekahi ohana hapa o Manase i noho ana ma Basana; o kekahi ohana hapa hoi, haawi mai o Iosua no lakou, me ko lakou poe hoahanau, ma keia kapa o Ioredane ma ke komohana. Alaila, hoouna aku la oia ia lakou i ko lakou halelewa, a hoomaikai oia ia lakou.

Moses had given to the half-tribe of Manasseh the land of Bashan, and to the other half of the tribe Joshua had given land west of the Jordan. Joshua blessed them and sent them home.

8 Olelo aku la oia ia lakou, i aku la, E hoi oukou i ko oukou mau halelewa, me ka waiwai nui, a me na holoholona he nui loa, a me ke kala, a me ke gula, a me ke keleawe, a me ka hao, a me ke kapa he nui loa. E puunauwe oukou i ka waiwai pio o ko oukou poe enemi, me ko oukou hoahanau.

He told them, “Take all the wealth you have gained back home: the great herds of livestock, the things made of gold, silver, copper, and iron, the huge quantity of clothes. Share all this plunder with your brothers.”

9 A hoi aku la ka Reubena poe mamo, a me ka Gada a me ka ohaha hapa a Manase, a hele lakou, mai ka Iseraela aku, a mai Silo ma ka aina o Kanaana aku, e hele i ka aina o Gileada, i ka aina a lakou i loaa mai, ua loaa hoi ia lakou e like me ka olelo a Iehova ma ka lima o Mose.

So the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh left the rest of the Israelites at Shiloh in the land of Canaan and went home to their land in Gilead that they had received at the Lord's command through Moses.

10 A hiki lakou i kahi e pili ana i Ioredane, aia ma ka aina o Kanaana, hana ae la ka Reubena poe mamo, a me ka Gada a me ka ohana hapa a Manase i kuahu malaila, ma Ioredane, ua nui kela kuahu i ka nana aku.

When they approached the Jordan region, still in the land of Canaan, the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh built a large and impressive altar beside the Jordan River.

11 A lohe ae la na mamo a Iseraela, i ka i ana mai, Aia hoi, ua hana ae la ka Reubena a me ka Gada a me ka ohana hapa a Manase i ke kuahu imua o ka aina o Kanaana, ma ke kapa o Ioredane, ma kahi e hele ae na mamo a Iseraela.

The Israelites were told, “Look, the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the Jordan region of the land of Canaan, on the side belonging to the Israelities.”

12 A lohe na mamo a Iseraela, hoakoakoa iho la ke anaina a pau o na mamo a Iseraela ma Silo, e hele aku ia lakou e kaua aku.

The Israelites gathered at Shiloh to go to war against them.

13 Hoouna aku la na mamo a Iseraela ia Pinehasa i ke keiki a Eleazara, ke kahuna, e hele i ka Reubena poe mamo a me ka Gada, a me ka ohana hapa a Manase i ka aina o Gileada,

Before they did so, they sent Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest to the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in the land of Gilead.

14 A me na'lii pu me ia he umi, pakahi ke alii i ka hale o na kupuna ma na ohana a pau a Iseraela: he poe alii wale no lakou o na kupuna, ma na tausani o ka Iseraela.

Ten leaders went with him, one from each of the ten tribes of Israel, and each the head of his family.

15 A hele aku la lakou i ka Reubena poe mamo, a me ka Gada, a me ka ohana hapa a Manase, i ka aina i Gileada, a kamailio pu me lakou, i aku la,

After they arrived they told the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,

16 Pela ka olelo ana mai a ke anaina a pau o Iehova, Heaha keia hewa a oukou i hana aku ai i ke Akua o Iseraela, e huli i keia la, mai o Iehova aku, i ko oukou kukulu ana i kuahu no oukou iho, i kipi aku oukou i keia la ia Iehova?

“This is what all of the Lord's people say, ‘What is this disloyal act you have committed against the God of Israel by building an altar for yourselves? How could you turn away from him now in such rebellion?

17 He uuku anei ka hewa o Peora ia kakou, aole kakou i holoi aku i keia mea, mai o kakou aku, a hiki mai i keia la, he mea ia i ahulau ai ke anaina o Iehova,

Wasn't our sin at Peor enough? Even now we're still not clean from the plague that attacked the Lord's people.

18 I huli ai oukou i keia la, mai o Iehova aku? a i kipi aku oukou ia Iehova i keia la, a apopo e huhu mai oia i ke anaina a pau o Iseraela.

So why are you turning away from the Lord now? If you rebel against the Lord today, he will be angry with all of us tomorrow!

19 Aka, ina he aina haumia, ka oukou i loaa ai, e hele aku oukou i kela kapa, i ka aina a Iehova i loaa ai, i kahi e noho ana kana pahuberita; a e hoonoho oukou ia oukou iho, mawaena konu o makou. Mai kipi hoi oukou ia Iehova, mai kipi no hoi ia makou, i ko oukou kukulu ana i ke kuahu no oukou iho, okoa ke kuahu o Iehova ko kakou Akua.

But if you think your land is tainted then come over to the land of the Lord where the Tabernacle of the Lord is located and share some of our land with us. Just don't rebel against the Lord, or against us, by building for yourselves an altar other than the altar of the Lord our God.

20 Aole anei i lawehala o Akana, ke keiki a Zera, i ka mea laa, aole anei i hiki mai ka huhu maluna o na mamo a pau a Iseraela? Aole oia wale no ka i make i kona hewa.

When Achan, son of Zerah, acted disloyally in taking consecrated things, didn't the whole of Israel suffer punishment? He wasn't the only one who died because of his sin!”

21 Alaila, ekemu mai la ka Reubena poe mamo, a me ka Gada, a me ka ohana hapa a Manase, i mai la lakou i ka poe luna o na tausani o ka Iseraela,

Then the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered the Israelite leaders,

22 O Iehova, o ke Akua o na'kua, o Iehova, o ke Akua o na'kua, oia ka i ike, a e ike no hoi auanei ka Iseraela; ina ma ke kipi ana a me ka hana hewa ana ia Iehova, mai hoola oukou ia makou i keia la,

“The Lord is God of gods, the Lord is God of gods, and he knows! May Israel also know! If we're in rebellion against God or being disloyal to him then kill us right now!

23 Ina paha makou i kukulu i ke kuahu no makou, e huli, mai o Iehova aku, a e kaumaha maluna iho i ka mohaikuni, a me ka mohaiai, a e kaumaha maluna olaila i ka mohai aloha, na Iehova no e hoopai ia mea.

If our action of building an altar was to turn away from the Lord, or to use the altar to make burnt offerings or grain offerings or friendship offerings, then may the Lord punish us.

24 Ina aole i hana makou pela no ka makau ana i keia mea, me ka i ana iho, Mamuli paha, e olelo mai ka oukou poe keiki i ka makou poe keiki, me ka i ana mai, Heaha ka oukou ia Iehova, ke Akua o Iseraela?

We did this because we were worried that in the future your descendants might say to ours, ‘What have you got to do with the Lord, the God of Israel?

25 Ua haawi mai o Iehova ia Ioredane nei, i mokuna mawaena o kakou, e ka Reubena, a me ka Gada, aole o oukou kuleana ma o Iehova la; pela no e hooki ai ka oukou poe keiki i ka makou poe keiki i ko lakou makau ana ia Iehova.

The Lord put a border—the Jordan River—between us and you, descendants of Reuben and Gad. You don't belong to the Lord.’ So your descendants might stop our descendants from worshiping the Lord.

26 Olelo iho la makou, Ina kakou, e kukulu i kuahu no kakou, aole no ka mohaikuni, aole no ka alana:

So we said to ourselves, ‘Let's build an altar, not for burnt offerings or for sacrifices,

27 He mea hoike ia mawaena o makou a o oukou, a mawaena o ko kakou hanauna mahope aku nei o kakou; i hana makou i ka oihana a Iehova imua ona me ko makou mohaikuni a me ko makou alana, a me ko makou mohai aloha, i olelo ole ka oukou poe keiki i ka makou poe keiki mahope aku nei, Aohe o oukou kuleana ma o Iehova la.

but as a witness between us and you, and for the generations that come after us, that we will come to worship the Lord in his presence with our burnt offerings, sacrifices, and friendship offerings.’ Then your descendants will not be able to say to ours in the future, ‘You don't belong to the Lord.’

28 Nolaila i olelo ai makou, A hiki i ka wa e i mai ai lakou pela ia makou, a i ko makou hanauna mahope aku nei o makou, e olelo makou, Ea, e nana oukou i ka mea like me ke kuahu o Iehova, i ka mea i hanaia'i e ko makou poe makua, aole no ka mohaikuni, a me ka alana, aka, i mea hoailona mawaena o makou a me oukou.

If they were to do so in the future, our descendants could reply, ‘Look at this copy of the Lord's altar which our forefathers made, not for burnt offerings or for sacrifices, but as a witness between us and you.’

29 Aole loa makou e kipi ia Iehova, a huli, mai o Iehova aku i keia la, a kukulu i ke kuahu no ka mohaikuni a me ka mohai ai a me na alana. Ke kuahu o Iehova ko kakou Akua, ka mea imua o kona halelewa, oia wale no ke kuahu.

We would never think to rebel against the Lord or to turn away from him now by building an altar to make burnt offerings or grain offerings or sacrifices. The only altar of the Lord our God is the one stands in front of his Tabernacle.”

30 A lohe ae la o Pinehasa, ke kahuna, a me na'lii o na mamo a Iseraela, a me na luna o na tausani o ka Iseraela, i na olelo i olelo mai ai ka Reubena poe mamo, a me ka Gada, a me ka Manase, he mea maikai no ia i ko lakou mau maka.

When Phinehas and the Israelite leaders heard this from the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh they were delighted.

31 Olelo aku la o Pinehasa, o ke kahuna, ke keiki a Eleazara, i ka Reubena poe mamo, a i ka Gada a i ka Manase, Ua ike pono kakou i keia la, o Iehova no mawaena o kakou, aole oukou i hana hewa i keia mea. A ua hoopakele oukou i na mamo a Iseraela mai ka lima mai o Iehova.

Phinehas replied to the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, “Today we know that the Lord is with us because you have not acted disloyally in doing this. Now you have saved the Israelites from being punished by the Lord.”

32 Alaila, hoi aku la o Pinehasa, ke kahuna, ke keiki a Eleazara, a me na'lii, mai ka Reubena poe mamo, a me ka Gada, mai ka aina o Gileada aku, i ka aina o Kanaana, i na mamo a Iseraela, a hai aku la ia lakou i keia mea.

Then Phinehas and the Israelite leaders left the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in the land of Gilead and returned to the land of Canaan to explain the situation to the Israelites.

33 A he mea maikai no ia i na maka o na mamo a Iseraela; a hoomaikai aku la na mamo a Iseraela i ke Akua; aole lakou i manao e pii aku ia lakou o kaua, e luku aku i ka aina o ka Reubena poe mamo a me ka Gada i noho ai.

The Israelites were pleased with the report and God blessed them. They didn't talk about going to war any more to destroy the land where the tribes of Reuben and Gad were living.

34 Kapa aku la o ka Reubena poe mamo a me ka Gada i ke kuahu, He mea hoike keia mawaena o kakou, o Iehova no, oia ke Akua.

The tribes of Reuben and Gad called the altar, “Witness,” because they said, “It is a witness between us that the Lord is also our God.”
