Iosua 24

1 A LAILA, hoiliili mai la o Iosua i na ohana a pau a Iseraela ma Sekema, a kahea aku la oia i na lunakahiko a Iseraela, a me ko lakou alii, a me ko lakou lunakanawai, a me ka poe luna o lakou; a noho iho la lakou imua o ke alo o ke Akua.

And Joshua gathereth all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and calleth for the elders of Israel, and for its heads, and for its judges, and for its authorities, and they station themselves before God.

2 Olelo mai la o Iosua i na kanaka a pau, Ke i mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o Iseraela penei, Ua noho no ko oukou kupuna ma kela kapa o ka muliwai, i ka wa kahiko, o Tera ka makuakane o Aberahama, o ka makuakane hoi o Nahora; a malama no lakou i na'kua e.

And Joshua saith unto all the people, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Beyond the River have your fathers dwelt of old — Terah father of Abraham and father of Nachor — and they serve other gods;

3 A lawe au i ko oukou kupuna ia Aberahama, mai kela kapa ae o ka muliwai, a alakai au ia ia i na aina a pau o Kanaana nei, a hoonui i kona hua, a haawi no au ia Isaaka nana.

and I take your father Abraham from beyond the River, and cause him to go through all the land of Canaan, and multiply his seed, and give to him Isaac.

4 A haawi au na Isaaka ia Iakoba a me Esau: a haawi au na Esau i ka mauna o Seira, i wahi e noho ai nona; aka, o Iakoba a me kana mau keiki, hele lakou ilalo i Aigupita.

And I give to Isaac, Jacob and Esau; and I give to Esau mount Seir, to possess it; and Jacob and his sons have gone down to Egypt.

5 Hoouna aku au ia Mose, a me Aarona, a hoomainoino au ia Aigupita, ma ka mea a'u i hana'i mawaena o lakou; a mahope iho, lawe mai au ia oukou mawaho.

And I send Moses and Aaron, and plague Egypt, as I have done in its midst, and afterwards I have brought you out.

6 A lawe mai no au i ko oukou poe makua, mai Aigupita mai; a hele mai lakou e hiki i ke kai, a hahai mai ka poe Aigupita mahope o ko oukou poe makua, me na halekaa, a me ko lakou poe hololio, a hiki i ke Kaiula.

And I bring out your fathers from Egypt, and ye go into the sea, and the Egyptians pursue after your fathers, with chariot and with horsemen, to the Red Sea;

7 A kahea lakou ia Iehova, alaila, kau oia i ka poeleele mawaena o oukou a me ko Aigupita, hoopopoi mai oia i ke kai, a uhi mai maluna o lakou. Pela no i ike ai ko oukou mau maka i na mea a pau a'u i hana'i i ko Aigupita: a ua noho oukou ma ka waonahele, i na la he nui loa.

and they cry unto Jehovah, and He setteth thick darkness between you and the Egyptians, and bringeth on them the sea, and covereth them, and your eyes see that which I have done in Egypt; and ye dwell in a wilderness many days.

8 A ua alakai mai nei au ia oukou i ka aina o ka Amora, ka poe i noho ma kela kapa o Ioredane, a kaua mai lakou ia oukou; aka, haawi no wau ia lakou iloko o ko oukou mau lima, a noho oukou ma ko lakou aina; a luku aku la au ia lakou imua o oukou.

'And I bring you in unto the land of the Amorite who is dwelling beyond the Jordan, and they fight with you, and I give them into your hand, and ye possess their land, and I destroy them out of your presence.

9 Alaila ku iluna o Balaka, ke keiki a Zipora, o ke alii o Moaba, a kaua mai oia i ka Iseraela, a hoouna aku la oia, a kahea aku la ia Balaama, i ke keiki a Beora e olelo hoino ia oukou.

'And Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, riseth and fighteth against Israel, and sendeth and calleth for Balaam son of Beor, to revile you,

10 Aka, aole au i makemake e hoolohe ia Balaama; no ia mea, hoomaikai mai oia ia oukou, a hoopakele au ia oukou, mai kona lima aku.

and I have not been willing to hearken to Balaam, and he doth greatly bless you, and I deliver you out of his hand.

11 A hele mai oukou, maluna mai o Ioredane, a hiki i Ieriko; a kaua mai ka poe noho ma Ieriko ia oukou, a me ka Amora, a me ka Pereza, a me ko Kanaana: a me ka Heta, a me ka Giregasa, a me ka Heva, a me ka Iebusa; a haawi au ia lakou i ko oukou mau lima.

'And ye pass over the Jordan, and come in unto Jericho, and fight against you do the possessors of Jericho — the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite — and I give them into your hand.

12 A hoouna au imua o oukou i na nalohopeeha, a kipaku aku la au ia lakou, mai ko oukou alo aku, i na'lii elua o ka Amora; aole na ka oukou pahikaua, aole no hoi na ka oukou kakaka.

And I send before you the hornet, and it casteth them out from your presence — two kings of the Amorite — not by thy sword, nor by thy bow.

13 A haawi au ia oukou i ka aina nona oukou i hooluhi ole ai, a me na kulanakauhale i kukulu ole ia'i e oukou, a ke noho nei oukou malaila; a ke ai nei oukou i kona malawaina, a me na mala oliva a oukou i kanu ole ai.

'And I give to you a land for which thou hast not laboured, and cities which ye have not built, and ye dwell in them; of vineyards and olive-yards which ye have not planted ye are eating.

14 Ano la, e makau oukou ia Iehova, a e malama ia ia, me ka manao maikai, a me ka oiaio; a e haalele oukou i na akua a ko oukou mau makua i malama'i, ma kela kapa aku o ka muliwai, a ma Aigupita; a e malama oukou ia Iehova.

'And now, fear ye Jehovah, and serve Him, in perfection and in truth, and turn aside the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt, and serve ye Jehovah;

15 A ina he mea ino i ko oukou manao ke malama ia Iehova, e koho oukou i keia la i ka oukou mea e malama aku ai; i na'kua paha a ko oukou poe kupuna i malama'i ma kela kapa aku o ka muliwai, i na'kua paha o ka Amora, no lakou no ka aina e noho nei oukou: aka, owau, a me ko ka hale o'u, e malama makou ia Iehova.

and if wrong in your eyes to serve Jehovah — choose for you to-day whom ye do serve; — whether the gods whom your fathers served, which [are] beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorite in whose land ye are dwelling; and I and my house — we serve Jehovah.'

16 Alaila, olelo aku la na kanaka, i mai la, Aole loa makou e haalele ia Iehova, a e malama i na akua e;

And the people answer and say, 'Far be it from us to forsake Jehovah, to serve other gods;

17 No ka mea, o Iehova, ko kakou Akua, oia no ka mea nana i lawe mai ia kakou, a me ko kakou poe makua mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, mailoko mai hoi o ka hale hooluhi; ka mea nana i hana i na mea nui imua o ko kakou mau maka, a malama mai oia ia kakou ma ke alanui a pau a kakou i hele mai ai, a mawaena o na kanaka a pau ma kahi a kakou i hele ai.

for Jehovah our God [is] He who is bringing us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants, and who hath done before our eyes these great signs, and doth keep us in all the way in which we have gone, and among all the peoples through whose midst we passed;

18 A na Iehova no i kipaku aku, mai ko kakou alo aku i na kanaka a pau, i ka Amora, i noho i ka aina; ano la e malama kakou ia Iehova, no ka mea, oia no ko kakou Akua.

and Jehovah casteth out the whole of the peoples, even the Amorite inhabiting the land, from our presence; we also do serve Jehovah, for He [is] our God.'

19 A olelo mai la o Iosua i na kanaka, Aole hiki ia oukou ke malama ia Iehova, no ka mea, he Akua ihiihi oia, he Akua lili no hoi; aole e kala mai oia i ko oukou hala, a me ko oukou hewa.

And Joshua saith unto the people, 'Ye are not able to serve Jehovah, for a God most holy He [is]; a zealous God He [is]; He doth not bear with your transgression and with your sins.

20 No ka mea, ina e haalele oukou ia Iehova, a e malama i na'kua o, alaila e huli oia a e hoino mai oia ia oukou, a e hoopau oia ia oukou mahope iho o kona lokomaikai ana mai ia oukou.

When ye forsake Jehovah, and have served gods of a stranger, then He hath turned back and done evil to you, and consumed you, after that He hath done good to you.'

21 Alaila, olelo aku la na kanaka ia Iosua, Aole loa pela, no ka mea, e malama aku no makou ia Iehova.

And the people saith unto Joshua, 'No, but Jehovah we do serve.'

22 Olelo mai la o Iosua i na kanaka, He poe hoike oukou no oukou iho, ua koho oukou ia Iehova no oukou, e malama aku ia ia. Olelo aku la lakou, He poe hoike no makou.

And Joshua saith unto the people, 'Witnesses ye are against yourselves, that ye have chosen for you Jehovah to serve Him (and they say, 'Witnesses!')

23 Ano la, e kipaku oukou i na akua e, mai ko oukou alo aku, a e hoopili oukou me ko oukou naau ia Iehova i ke Akua o ka Iseraela.

and, now, turn aside the gods of the stranger which [are] in your midst, and incline your heart unto Jehovah, God of Israel.'

24 Olelo aku la na kanaka ia Iosua, O Iehova, o ko kakou Akua, o ka makou ia e malama aku ai, a o kona leo ka makou e hoolohe aku ai.

And the people say unto Joshua, 'Jehovah our God we serve, and to His voice we hearken.'

25 A hana iho la o Iosua i berita me na kanaka i kela la, a waiho oia no lakou i ke kanawai a me ke kapu ma Sekema.

And Joshua maketh a covenant with the people on that day, and layeth on it a statute and an ordinance, in Shechem.

26 A kakau iho la o Iosua i keia mau olelo maloko o ka buke o ke kanawai o ke Akua, a lawe no hoi oia i pohaku nui, a kukulu iho la i ua pohaku la malaila, ma ka laau e kokoke ana i ka halelewa o Iehova.

And Joshua writeth these words in the Book of the Law of God, and taketh a great stone, and raiseth it up there under the oak which [is] in the sanctuary of Jehovah.

27 Olelo aku la o Iosua i na kanaka a pau, Eia hoi keia pohaku, oia ko kakou mea hoike; no ka mea, ua lohe ia mea i na olelo a pau a Iehova, ana i kauoha mai ai ia kakou; a he mea hoike no ia no oukou, o hoole oukou i ke Akua.

And Joshua saith unto all the people, 'Lo, this stone is against us for a witness, for it hath heard all the sayings of Jehovah which He hath spoken with us, and it hath been against you for a witness, lest ye lie against your God.'

28 A hookuu aku la o Iosua i ka poe kanaka, i kela kanaka i keia kanaka i kona aina.

And Joshua sendeth the people away, each to his inheritance.

29 Mahope iho o keia mau mea, make iho la o Iosua, ke keiki a Nuna, ke kauwa a Iehova, a o kona mau la a pau, hookahi ia haneri makahiki a me ka umi keu.

And it cometh to pass, after these things, that Joshua son of Nun, servant of Jehovah, dieth, a son of a hundred and ten years,

30 A kanu iho la lakou ia ia ma ke kihi o kona aina, ma Timenasera, ma ka puu o Eperaima, ma ke kukulu akau o ka puu o Gaasa.

and they bury him in the border of his inheritance, in Timnath-Serah, which [is] in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the hill of Gaash.

31 A malama no ka Iseraela ia Iehova i na la a pau o Iosua, a i na la a pau o na lunakahiko, i ola mahope iho o Iosua, ka poe i ike i na mea a pau a Iehova i hana mai ai i ka Iseraela.

And Israel serveth Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who prolonged days after Joshua, and who knew all the work of Jehovah which He did to Israel.

32 A o na iwi o Iosepa a na mamo a Iseraela i lawe mai ai, mai Aigupita mai, kanu iho la lakou ia mea ma Sekema, i kahi ma ke kula a Iakoba i kuai ai me na keiki a Hamora, ka makua o Sekema, i na moni hookahi haneri; a ili mai no ia no na keiki a Iosepa.

And the bones of Joseph, which the sons of Israel brought up out of Egypt, they buried in Shechem, in the portion of the field which Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor father of Shechem, with a hundred kesitah; and they are to the sons of Joseph for an inheritance.

33 A make o Eleazara ke keiki a Aarona; a kanu iho la lakou ia ia ma ka puu o Pinehasa o kana keiki, i haawiia mai nona ma ka mauna o Eperaima.

And Eleazar son of Aaron died, and they bury him in the hill of Phinehas his son, which was given to him in the hill-country of Ephraim.
