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 the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their enemies on all sides, that Joshua became old [and] 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.

And Joshua called for all Israel, [and] for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said to them, I am old [and] 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 the LORD your God hath done to all these nations because of you; for the LORD 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 to you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea westward.

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 the LORD your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your God hath promised to 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.

Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside from it [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 come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear [by them], neither serve them, nor bow yourselves to 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 cleave to the LORD your God, as ye have done to 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 the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but [as for] you, no man hath been able to stand before you to 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 shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he [it is] that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.

11 E malama pono oukou ia oukou iho, e aloha aku ai ia Iehova i ko oukou Akua.

Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that ye love the LORD 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;

Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave to the remnant of these nations, [even] these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and associate with them, and they with 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 the LORD your God will no more drive out [any of] these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD 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, this day I [am] going the way of all the earth; and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you: all are come to pass to you, [and] not one thing hath failed of it.

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.

Therefore it shall come to pass, [that] as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he hath destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD 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 have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given to you.
