Lunakanawai 2
1 HELE mai la ka anela o Iehova, mai Gilegala mai, a i Bokima, i mai la, Ua lawe mai au ia oukou mai Aigupita mai, a ua hookomo mai au ia oukou i ka aina a'u i hoohiki ai i ko oukou mau kupuna. I iho la au, Aole au e uhai i ka'u berita, a hiki loa i ka hopena.
The angel of the Lord went from Gilgal to Bokim and told the people, “I led you out of the land of Egypt and brought you to this land that I promised to your forefathers, and I said I would never break the agreement I made with you.
2 Mai hana oukou i berita me ka poe e noho ana ma keia aina, e hoohiolo no oukou i ko lakou mau kuahu. Aole oukou i hoolohe i ko'u leo. No ke aha la oukou i hana'i i keia?
I also told you not to make any agreements with the people living in the land and to tear down their altars. But you refused to obey what I said. Why did you do this?
3 Nolaila au i olelo ai, Aole au e kipaku ia lakou, mai ko oukou alo aku, a e lilo lakou i poe enemi no oukou; a e lilo ko lakou mau akua i mea e hihia ai oukou.
I also warned you, ‘I will not drive them out before you, and they will be snares for you, and their gods will be traps for you.’”
4 A i ka wa i olelo ai ka anela o Iehova i keia mau olelo i na mamo a pau a Iseraela, hookiekie ae la na kanaka i ko lakou leo, uwe iho la.
After the angel of the Lord had explained this to all the Israelites, the people wept out loud.
5 Kapa aku la lakou i ka inoa o ia wahi, Bokima. A malaila lakou i mohai aku ai no Iehova.
That's why they named the place Bokim, and they presented sacrifices there to the Lord.
6 I ka wa i kuu aku ai o Iosua i kanaka, alaila hele aku la kela kanaka keia kanaka o na mamo a Iseraela i kona hooilina iho, a komo i ka aina.
After Joshua had dismissed the people, the Israelites went to take possession of the land, each to their allotted land.
7 Malama no na kanaka 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 hana nui a pau a Iehova i hana mai ai no ka Iseraela.
The people continued to worship the Lord throughout Joshua's life, and throughout the lifetimes of the elders who outlived him, those who had seen all the wonderful things that the Lord had done for Israel.
8 A make iho la o Iosua, ke keiki a Nuna, ke kauwa a Iehova, hookahi no haneri kona mau makahiki me ka umi keu.
Joshua, son of Nun, servant of the Lord, died at the age of one hundred and ten.
9 A kanu iho la lakou ia ia ma ke kihi o kona aina, me Timenaheresa, ma ka puu o Eperaima, ma ke kukulu akau o ka puu o Gaasa.
They buried him in Timnath-heres in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash, the land he had been allocated.
10 Hui pu ia'e la ia hanauna a pau me ko lakou poe makua: a ala mai la kekahi hanauna hou, mahope mai o lakou, aole lakou i ike ia Iehova, aole hoi i na hana ana i hana mai ai no ka Iseraela.
Once that generation had passed away, the generation that followed did not know the Lord, or what he had done for Israel.
11 Hana hewa aku la na mamo a Iseraela imua o Iehova, a malama lakou ia Baala.
The Israelites did what was evil in the Lord's sight, and they worshiped the Baals.
12 Haalele lakou ia Iehova, i ke Akua o ko lakou poe makua, i ka mea i lawe mai ai ia lakou mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, a hahai lakou mamuli o na'kua e, i na'kua o ka poe kanaka e noho poai ana ia lakou, a kulou imua o lakou, a hoonaukiuki aku la ia Iehova.
They deserted the Lord, the God of their forefathers, who had led them out of Egypt. They followed other gods, bowing down in worship to the gods of the peoples around them, making the Lord angry.
13 Haalele lakou ia Iehova, a malama iho la ia Baala a me Asetarota.
They deserted the Lord and worshiped Baal and Ashtaroth idols.
14 Wela iho la ka huhu o Iehova i ka Iseraela, a haawi ae la ia lakou i ka lima o ka poe hao, a hao ae la ia poe i ka lakou, a hoolilo aku oia ia lakou i ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi, e noho poai ana ia lakou, aole hiki ia lakou ke ku hou imua o ko lakou poe enemi.
Because the Lord was angry with Israel he handed them over to invaders who plundered them. He sold them to their enemies all around—enemies they could no longer resist.
15 Ma na wahi a pau a lakou i hele aku ai, ku e no ka lima o Iehova ia lakou i mea e hewa'i, e like me ka Iehova i hoohiki mai ai ia lakou; a pilikia loa iho la lakou.
Whenever Israel went into battle, the Lord fought against them and defeated them, just as he had warned them and as he had vowed he would do. They were in a great deal of trouble.
16 Hoala mai no nae o Iehova i na lunakanawai, a hoola ae la lakou i ka Iseraela mailoko ae o ka lima o ka poe i hao i ka lakou.
Then the Lord provided them with judges, who saved them from their invaders.
17 Aole hoi lakou i hoolohe i na lunakanawai; aka, moe kolohe lakou mamuli o na'kua e, a kulou hoomana aku la ia lakou. Haalele koke lakou i ke ala a ko lakou poe makua i hele ai, me ka hoolohe pono i ke kauoha a Iehova; aole hana keia poe pela.
But even so, they refused to listen to their judges, and prostituted themselves by following other gods, bowing down in worship to them. They quickly abandoned the way their forefathers had followed, and they did not obey the Lord's commandments as their forefathers had.
18 A i ka wa i hoala mai ai o Iehova i na lunakanawai no lakou, alaila, noho pu o Iehova me ka lunakanawai, a hoola no ia ia lakou, mai ka lima ae o ko lakou poe enemi, i na la a pau o ia lunakanawai; no ka mea, minamina o Iehova, no ko lakou kaniuhu ana i ka hoopilikiaia, a me ka hookaumahaia mai.
When the Lord provided Israel with judges over Israel, he was with each judge and saved the people from their enemies during that judge's lifetime, because the Lord felt sorry for his people, who groaned under their oppressors and persecutors.
19 A i ka wa i make ai ka lunakanawai, hoi hou no lakou, a oi aku no ko lakou hewa mamua o ko lakou poe makua, ma ka hahai ana mamuli o na'kua e, e malama ia lakou, a e kulou hoomana ia lakou. Aole lakou i hooki iki i ka lakou hana, aole i ko lakou aoao paakiki.
But when the judge died, the people relapsed, and did worse things even than their forefathers, following other gods and worshiping them. They refused to give up what they were doing and held to their stubborn ways.
20 Wela iho la ka huhu o Iehova i ka Iseraela, i ae la ia, No ka hehi ana o keia poe kanaka maluna o ka'u berita, a'u i kauoha aku ai i ko lakou poe makua, aole hoi i hoolohe i ko'u leo;
As a result the Lord became angry with Israel and he told them, “Because this nation has broken the agreement I ordered their forefathers to obey, and has not paid attention to what I said,
21 Nolaila, aole au e kipaku hou, mai ko lakou alo aku, i kekahi o ko na aina a Iosua i waiho ai i kona make ana.
from now on I won't drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died.
22 I hoao aku ai au i ka Iseraela ma o lakou la, i malama paha lakou i ka aoao o Iehova, e hele malaila, e like me ka malama ana o ko lakou poe makua, aole paha.
This is in order to use them to test Israel to see if they will keep the way of the Lord and follow it as their forefathers did.”
23 Waiho no o Iehova i ko ia mau aina, aole ia i kipaku koke aku ia lakou; aole hoi i haawi mai ia lakou i ka lima o Iosua.
This is the reason why the Lord allowed those nations to remain, and didn't immediately drive them out by handing them over to Joshua.
