< Iosua 1 >

1 MAHOPE iho o ka make ana o Mose, ke kauwa a Iehova, alaila, olelo mai la o Iehova ia Iosua i ke keiki a Nuna, ke kokoolua o Mose, i mai la,
Now it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, that the Lord spoke to Josue the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and said to him:
2 Ua make ka'u kauwa o Mose, ano e ku ae oe, a e hele i kela kapa o Ioredane nei; o oe a me keia poe kanaka a pau, a i ka aina a'u e haawi aku nei ia lakou, i ka poe mamo a Iseraela.
Moses my servant is dead: arise, and pass over this Jordan, thou and thy people with thee, into the land which I will give to the children of Israel.
3 O na wahi a pau loa a ke kapuwai a ko oukou wawae e hehi aku ai, oia ka'u i haawi aku ai no oukou, e like me ka'u i olelo aku ai ia Mose.
I will deliver to you every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, as I have said to Moses.
4 Mai ka waonahele mai, a mai Lebanona nei a hiki i ka muliwai nui, oia hoi ka muliwai o Euperate, o ka aina a pau o ka Heta, a hiki i ka moana nui ma ke komohana, oia ko oukou mokuna.
From the desert and from Libanus unto the great river Euphrates, all the land of the Hethites unto the great sea toward the going; down of the sun, shall be your border.
5 Aole loa e hiki i kekahi kanaka ke ku imua ou, i na la a pau o kou ola ana. Me a'u i noho pu ai me Mose, pela no wau me oe. Aole au e waiho aku, aole hoi e haalele ia oe.
No man shall be able to resist you all the days of thy life: as I have been with Moses, so will I be with thee: I will not leave thee, nor forsake thee.
6 E ikaika oe a e koa hoi, no ka mea, nau no e hooili i keia poe kanaka i ka aina a'u i hoohiki ai i ko lakou poe makua e haawi aku no lakou.
Take courage, and be strong: for thou shalt divide by lot to this people the land, for which I swore to their fathers, that I would deliver it to them.
7 E ikaika io, a e koa loa hoi, me ka hoolohe, a me ka hana aku, e like me ke kanawai a pau a kuu kauwa a Mose i kauoha aku ai ia oe; Mai huli iki ae ma ka lima akau, aole hoi ma ka lima hema, i pomaikai ai oe i ke ala a pau au e hele ai.
Take courage therefore, and be very valiant: that thou mayst observe and do all the law, which Moses my servant hath commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayst understand all things which thou dost.
8 O ka palapala o keia kanawai, aole ia e haalele i kou waha: e noonoo oe ia mea, i ke ao a me ka po, i hiki ia oe ke malama aku a e hana hoi e like me na mea a pau i kakauia malaila. Alaila e hoomalu ai oe i kou hele ana a pau, a e pomaikai io oe.
Let not the book of this law depart from thy mouth: but thou shalt meditate on it day and night, that thou mayst observe and do all things that are written in it: then shalt thou direct thy way, and understand it.
9 Aole anei au i kauoha aku ia oe? E ikaika a e koa hoi. Mai makau oe, aole hoi e weliweli, no ka mea, me oe pu no o Iehova o kou Akua, ma ke ala a pau au e hele ai.
Behold I command thee, take courage, and be strong. Fear not and be not dismayed: because the Lord thy God is with thee in all things whatsoever thou shalt go to.
10 Alaila, kauoha ae la o Iosua i na luna o kanaka, i ae la,
And Josue commanded the princes of the people, saying: Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, and say:
11 E hele ae oukou mawaena o ka poe kanaka, a e kauoha aku ia lakou, penei, E hoomakaukau oukou i o na oukou; no ka mea, ekolu la i koe, alaila, e hele aku oukou i kela kapa o Ioredane nei, e komo i ka aina a Iehova ko oukou Akua i haawi mai ai i hooilina no oukou.
Prepare you victuals: for after the third day you shall pass over the Jordan and shall go in to possess the land, which the Lord your God will give you.
12 Olelo mai la o Iosua i ka Reubena, a i ka Gada, a i ka ohana hapa a Manase, i mai la,
And he said to the Rubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasses:
13 E hoomanao oukou i ka olelo a Mose, ke kauwa a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia oukou, i ka i ana mai, Ua hoomaha mai o Iehova ko oukou Akua ia oukou, a ua haawi mai hoi i keia aina no oukou.
Remember the word, which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying: The Lord your God hath given you rest, and all this land.
14 O ka oukou poe wahine, a me ka oukou poe kamalii, a me ka oukou poe holoholona, e noho no lakou ma ka aina a Mose i haawi mai ai no lakou ma keia aoao o Ioredane; a e hele makaukau hoi oukou, ka poe ikaika a pau i ke kaua, mamua o ko oukou poe hoahanau, a e kokua aku ia lakou;
Your wives, and children, and cattle shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan: but pass you over armed before your brethren, all of you that are strong of hand, and fight for them,
15 A hiki i ka wa e hoomaha mai ai o Iehova i ko oukou poe hoahanau, e like me oukou nei; a loaa hoi ia lakou ka aina a Iehova ko oukou Akua i haawi mai ai no lakou; alaila, e hoi mai no oukou i ka aina e ili mai ana no oukou a e komo i ka aina a Mose, ke kauwa a Iehova i haawi mai ai no oukou, ma keia aoao o Ioredane, ma ka hikina a ka la.
Until the Lord give rest to your brethren as he hath given you, and they also possess the land which the Lord your God will give them: and so you shall return into the land of your possession, and you shall dwell in it, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun.
16 Olelo aku la lakou ia Iosua, i aku la, O na mea a pau au e kauoha mai nei ia makou, oia ka makou e hana'i: a o na wahi a pau au e hoouna aku ai ia makou, malaila makou e hele ai.
And they made answer to Josue, and said: All that thou hast commanded us we will do; and whithersoever thou shalt send us, we will go.
17 Me makou i hoolohe aku ai ia Mose, ma na mea a pau, pela makou e hoolohe aku ai ia oe: o Iehova pu kekahi me oe, me ia i noho pu ai me Mose.
As we obeyed Moses in all things, so will we obey thee also: only be the Lord thy God with thee, as he was with Moses.
18 O na mea a pau, e hoole i kou waha, a hoolohe ole i kau olelo ma na mea a pau au e kauoha mai ai, e make ia, Eikaika hoi oe, a e koa no.
He that shall gainsay thy mouth, and not obey all thy words, that thou shalt command him, let him die: only take thou courage, and do manfully.
