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, called Joshua—for the Reubenites, and for the Gadites, —and for 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:

and said unto them, Ye, have observed all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, —and have hearkened unto my voice, in all that I commanded 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.

ye have not forsaken your brethren, these many days, unto this day, —but have kept the charge of the commandment of Yahweh your God.

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, therefore, that Yahweh your God hath given rest unto your brethren, according as he spake unto them, —now, therefore, turn ye and get you to your homes within the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto you, over 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.

Only, take ye diligent heed, to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you—to love Yahweh your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, —and to serve him—with all your heart, and with all your soul.

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

So Joshua blessed them, —and sent them away, and they took their journey unto their homes.

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.

Now, unto the [one] half tribe of Manesseh, had Moses given a possession in Bashan, and, unto the [other] half, did Joshua give possession with their brethren, over the Jordan, westward, —moreover also, when Joshua sent them away unto their homes, he blessed them,

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.

and spake unto them, saying—With much wealth, return ye unto your homes, even with very much cattle, with silver and with gold, and with copper and with iron, and with very much raiment, —divide ye the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.

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 sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh. returned and departed from the sons of Israel, from Shiloh, which was in the land of Canaan, —to go unto the land of Gilead, unto the land of their possession, wherein they had received their possessions, at the bidding of Yahweh by the hand of 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.

And, when they came into the circles of the Jordan, which were in the land of Canaan, —then did the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh build there an altar by the Jordan, an altar of large dimensions,

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.

And the sons of Israel heard say, —Lo! the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in front of the land of Canaan, in the circles of the Jordan, in the region opposite the sons of Israel.

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.

And, when the sons of Israel heard, all the assembly of the sons of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.

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,

And the sons of Israel sent unto the sons of Reuben and unto the sons of Gad and unto the half tribe of Manasseh, within the land of Gilead, —Phinehas, son of Eleazar the priest;

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.

and ten princes with him, one prince of an ancestral house for each of the tribes of Israel, —they being, severally heads of their ancestral houses, among the thousands of Israel.

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,

So they came in unto the sons of Reuben and unto the sons of Gad and unto the half tribe of Manasseh, within the land of Gilead, —and spake with them, saying:

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?

Thus, say all the assembly of Yahweh—What is this act of treachery which ye have committed against the God of Israel, that ye should turn back, to-day, from following Yahweh, —in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel, to-day, against Yahweh?

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,

Too little for us, was the iniquity of Peor, from which we have not cleansed ourselves, unto this day, —although the plague came upon the assembly of Yahweh;

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.

but that, ye, must turn back to-day from following Yahweh, —though it must needs be that, if, ye, rebel to-day against Yahweh, then, to-morrow, with all the assembly of Israel, will he be wroth?

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.

Howbeit, if, unclean, be the land of your possession, do ye on your part come over into the land of the possession of Yahweh, where abideth the habitation of Yahweh, and take your possession in our midst, —but, against Yahweh, do not rebel, nor, against us, rebel, by building yourselves an altar apart from the altar of Yahweh 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.

Did not, Achan son of Zerah, commit an act of treachery, with a devoted thing, and, upon all the assembly of Israel, came wrath, —so that not, he—one man alone, died in his iniquity.

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 responded the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh, —and spake unto the heads of the thousands of Israel:

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,

El-Elohim-Yahweh, El-Elohim-Yahweh, he knoweth, and, Israel, he, shall know, —if in rebellion, or if in treachery, against Yahweh, do not save us this day:

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.

that we should build for ourselves an altar, to turn back from following Yahweh, —or, if that we might cause to go up thereon ascending-sacrifice or meal-offering, or if that we might offer thereon peace-offerings, let Yahweh himself require it;

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?

if, indeed, we have not, rather, out of anxiety and of purpose, done this thing, saying, —. In time to come, your sons might speak to our sons, saying, What have ye to do with Yahweh, 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.

seeing that, a boundary, hath Yahweh put between us and you, ye sons of Reuben and ye sons of Gad—even the Jordan, ye have no portion in Yahweh, —so might your sons cause our sons, to cease from revering Yahweh.

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

We said, therefore, Let us prepare, we pray you, to build us an altar, —not for ascending-offering, nor for sacrifice;

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 that, a witness, it may be between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we are to do the service of Yahweh, before him, with our ascending-offerings and with our sacrifices, and with our peace-offerings, —that your sons may not say, in time to come, to our sons, Ye have no portion in Yahweh.

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.

Therefore said we, And it shall be, when they [so] say to us, or to our generations, in time to come, —that we will say—Behold ye the pattern of the altar of Yahweh, which our fathers made, not for ascending-offerings nor for sacrifice, but that, a witness, it might be 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.

Far be it from us—that we should rebel against Yahweh, or turn back, to-day, from following Yahweh, by building an altar, for ascending-offering, or meal-offering or for sacrifice, —other than the altar of Yahweh our God, which is before his habitation.

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.

And, when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the assembly, even the heads of the thousands of Israel who were with him, heard the words which the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the sons of Manasseh spake, then was it well-pleasing in their eyes.

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.

And Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest said unto the sons of Reuben and unto the sons of Gad and unto the sons of Manasseh—To-day, we know that, in our midst, is Yahweh, in that ye have not committed, against Yahweh, this act of treachery, —now, have ye rescued the sons of Israel out of the hand of Yahweh.

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.

So Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest and the princes returned from the sons of Reuben and from the sons of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, unto the sons of Israel, —and brought them back word.

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.

And the thing was well-pleasing in the eyes of the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel blessed God, —and spake not of going up against them, to war, to lay waste the land, wherein the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad dwelt.

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.

So the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad named the altar [a Witness]: A witness, it is between us, That, Yahweh, is God.
