Iosua 23
1 MAHOPE loa mai o ka hoomaha ana o Iehova i ka Iseraela, mai ko lakou mau enemi a pau, i puni ia lakou, ua elemakule loa o Iosua, ua nui no hoi kona mau la.
And it came to pass a long time after that Jehovah had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua had become old, advanced in age,
2 Houluulu ae la o Iosua i ka Iseraela a pau, i ko lakou mau lunakahiko a me ko lakou mau alii, a me ko lakou mau lunakanawai, a me ka poe luna o lakou, a olelo aku la oia ia lakou, Ua elemakule au, a ua nui no hoi ko'u mau la.
that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am become old, advanced in age;
3 A o oukou hoi, ua ike oukou i na mea a pau i hana mai ai o Iehova, ko oukou Akua i keia mau lahuikanaka a pau imua o oukou; no ka mea, o Iehova, ko oukou Akua ua kaua aku oia no oukou.
and ye have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done to all these nations because of you. For Jehovah your God is he that hath fought for you.
4 Aia hoi, ua hailona au no oukou i ko na lahuikanaka i koe, a me na lahuikanaka a pau a'u i anai aku ai mai Ioredane a hiki i ka moana nui, ma ke komohana o ka la, i mea hooili no ko oukou ohana.
Behold, I have divided unto you by lot for an inheritance, according to your tribes, these nations that remain, from the Jordan, as well as all the nations that I have cut off, as far as the great sea toward the sun-setting.
5 Na Iehova, na ko oukou Akua, e kipaku ia lakou, mai ko oukou alo aku, a e hoonalowale ia lakou imua o oukou; a e hooili mai i ko lakou aina no oukou, e like me ka olelo a Iehova, ko oukou Akua i olelo mai ai ia oukou.
And Jehovah your God, he will expel them from before you, and dispossess them from out of your sight; and ye shall take possession of their land, as Jehovah your God hath said unto you.
6 E hooikaika oukou e malama a e hana i na mea a pau i kakauia iloko o ka buke o ko kanawai o Mose. Mai huli oukou mai ia mea aku ma ka lima akau, aole hoi ma ka lima hema.
And be ye very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;
7 Mai hele pu oukou me keia mau lahuikanaka, i ka poe i koe, mawaena o oukou; mai hoohiki hoi i ka inoa o ko lakou mau akua, aole hoi e hoohiki ma o lakou la: mai malama ia lakou, aole hoi e kulou oukou ia lakou:
that ye enter not among these nations, these that remain among you; and ye shall make no mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear [by them], neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them;
8 Aka, e hoopili aku oukou ia Iehova, i ko oukou Akua, e like me ka oukou hana ana a hiki i keia la.
but ye shall cleave unto Jehovah your God, as ye have done unto this day.
9 No ka mea, ua kipaku o Iehova mai ko oukou alo aku, i na lahuikanaka nui, a ikaika: a o oukou hoi, aole kanaka i ku imua o ko oukou alo a hiki wale mai i keia la.
For Jehovah hath dispossessed from before you great and strong nations; and as to you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.
10 Hookahi kanaka o oukou e alualu aku i ke tausani hookahi; no ka mea, o Iehova, ko oukou Akua, oia no ka mea nana e kaua aku no oukou, e like me kana elele mua ana mai ia oukou.
One man of you chaseth a thousand; for Jehovah your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath said unto you.
11 E malama pono oukou ia oukou iho, e aloha aku ai ia Iehova i ko oukou Akua.
Take great heed therefore unto your souls, that ye love Jehovah your God.
12 No ka mea, ina e hoi hope iki oukou, a e hoopili i na lahuikanaka i koe e noho ana mawaena o oukou, a e mare pu me lakou, a hele iloko io lakou la, a hoi lakou iloko io oukou nei;
For if ye in any wise go back, and cleave unto the residue of these nations, these that remain among you, and make marriages with them, and come in unto them and they unto you:
13 E ike pono oukou, aole e kipaku hou aku o Iehova, ko oukou Akua i keia mau lahuikanaka, mai ko oukou alo aku; aka, e lilo lakou i mau pahele no oukou, a he mea upiki, a he mea hahau ma ko oukou mau aoao, a i mea ooi ma ko oukou mau maka, a make wale oukou, mai keia aina maikai aku a Iehova ko oukou Akua i haawi mai ai no oukou.
know for a certainty that Jehovah your God will no more dispossess these nations from before you, and they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath given you.
14 Aia hoi, i keia la, e hele ana au ma ka aoao o ko ka honua a pau; a ua ike hoi oukou ma ko oukou naau a pau, a me ko oukou uhane a pau, aole i haule ka mea hookahi o na olelo maikai a pau a Iehova ko oukou Akua i olelo mai ai ia oukou, aka, ua ko io ia oukou na mea a pau, aole i haule ka mea hookahi.
And behold, I am going this day the way of all the earth; and ye know in all your heart, and in all your soul, that not one thing hath failed of all the good words that Jehovah your God hath spoken concerning you: all are come to pass unto you — not one thing hath failed thereof.
15 A e like me ka hiki ana mai ia oukou na mea maikai a pau a Iehova ko oukou Akua i olelo mai ai ia oukou; pela no e hoouka mai ai o Iehova i na mea ino a pau maluna o oukou, a hiki i kona hoopau ana mai ia oukou, mai keia aina maikai aku, a Iehova ko oukou Akua i haawi mai ai no oukou.
But it shall come to pass, that as every good word hath been fulfilled to you, that Jehovah your God spoke to you, so will Jehovah bring upon you every evil word, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath given you;
16 Aia haihai oukou i ka berita a Iehova ko oukou Akua, i ka mea ana i kauoha mai ai ia oukou, a e hele oukou, a e malama aku i na 'kua e, a e kulou hoi ia lakou; alaila e a mai no ka huhu o Iehova ia oukou, a e make koke auanei, mai ka aina maikai aku, ana i haawi mai ai no oukou.
when ye transgress the covenant of Jehovah your God which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow yourselves unto them, so that the anger of Jehovah shall be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.
