Kanawailua 17

1 MAI kaumaha aku oe ia Iehova kou Akua i ka bipikane a i ka hipa paha, ina he wahi mea kina iki kona, a he wahi mea ino paha: no ka mea, he mea hoowahawahaia Iehova kou Akua.

“You shall not immolate to the Lord your God a sheep or an ox, in which there is a blemish or any defect at all; for this is an abomination to the Lord your God.

2 Ina paha i loaa iwaena o oukou ma kou mau ipuka a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai ia oe, he kanaka, he wahine paha, i hana hewa imua o Iehova kou Akua i ka pale aku i kana berita,

When there will have been found among you, within one of your gates which the Lord your God will give to you, a man or a woman who is doing evil in the sight of the Lord your God, and who is transgressing his covenant,

3 A ua hele aku ia, a ua malama aku i na akua e, a ua hoomana aku ia lakou, i ka la paha, i ka mahina paha, a i kekahi paha o ko ka lani mau mea, a'u i kauoha ole aku ai:

so as to go and serve foreign gods and adore them, such as the sun and the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not instructed,

4 A ua haiia ia oe, a ua lohe, a ua ninau pono oe, aia hoi, he oiaio no ia, ua hanaia keia mea ino iloko o ka Iseraela:

and when this will have been reported to you, and, upon hearing it, if you have inquired diligently and have found it to be true, that the abomination is being done in Israel:

5 Alaila e lawe mai oe i kela kanaka, a i kela wahine paha, i ka mea nana i hana keia mea hewa, ma kou mau ipuka, i ke kanaka, i ka wahine paha, a e hailuku ia lakou i ka pohaku a make lakou.

you shall lead forward the man or the woman who has perpetrated this most wicked thing to the gates of your city, and they shall be stoned to death.

6 Ma ka waha o na mea hoike elua, ekolu paha mea hoike, e pepehiia'ku ai ka mea pono no ka make; aole e pepehiia oia a make ma ka waha o ka mea hoike hookahi.

By the mouth of two or three witnesses, he who is to be put to death shall perish. Let no one be killed with only one person speaking testimony against him.

7 O na lima o na mea hoike ke kau mua maluna ona e pepehi ia ia, a o na lima o na kanaka a pau mahope aku; a pela oe e, hookaawale aku ai i ka hewa mai ou aku la.

First, the hands of the witnesses shall be upon him who will be put to death, and lastly, the hands of the remainder of the people shall be sent forth. So may you take away the evil from your midst.

8 Ina paha he mea hihia pohihihi ia oe ke hooponopono iwaena o kahi koko a me kahi koko, iwaena o kahi pono a me kekahi pono, iwaena o kahi hahau ana a me kekahi hahau ana, he mea hookolokolo ma kou mau ipuka; alaila e ku oe a pii aku ma kahi a Iehova i wae ai,

If you have perceived that there is among you a difficult and doubtful matter of judgment, between blood and blood, cause and cause, leprosy and leprosy, and if you will have seen that the words of the judges within your gates vary: rise up and ascend to the place which the Lord your God will choose.

9 A hele aku i na kahuna, i ka Levi, a i ka lunakanawai e noho ana o ia mau la, a e ninau aku; a e hai mai lakou ia oe i ka olelo o ka hooponopono ana.

And you shall approach the priests of the Levitical stock, and the judge, who shall be among them at that time, and you shall inquire of them, and they will reveal to you the truth of the judgment.

10 A e hana aku oe e like me ka olelo a lakou e hai mai ai ia oe ma kela wahi a Iehova i wae ai; a e malama e hana aku e like me ka lakou i hai mai ai ia oe;

And you shall accept whatever they will say, those who preside in the place which the Lord will choose, and whatever they will teach you,

11 E like me ka olelo o ke kanawai a lakou e hoike mai ai ia oe, a e like me ka hooponopono ana a lakou e olelo mai ai ia oe, pela oe e hana'i: mai huli ae oe mai ka olelo aku a lakou e hoike mai ai ia oe, ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema.

in accord with his law, and you shall follow their sentence. Neither shall you turn aside to the right or to the left.

12 A o ke kanaka e hana aku me ke kiekie, aole e hoolohe i ke kahuna e ku ana e lawelawe na Iehova kou Akua malaila, aole hoi i ka lunakanawai, e make ua kanaka la; a e lawe aku oe i ka hewa mai ka Iseraela aku.

But whoever will be arrogant, unwilling to obey the order of the priest who ministers at that time to the Lord your God, and the decree of the judge, that man shall die. And so shall you take away the evil from Israel.

13 A e hoolohe na kanaka a pau, e makau, aole e hana hookiekie hou aku.

And when the people hear about this, they shall be afraid, so that no one, from that time on, will swell with pride.

14 A hiki aku oe ma ka aina a Iehova kou Akua e haawi mai ai ia oe, a lilo ia nou, a noho oe ilaila, a e olelo iho oe, E hoonoho au i alii maluna o'u, e like me na lahuikanaka a puni o'u:

When you will have entered into the land which the Lord your God will give to you, and you possess it, and you live in it, and you say, ‘I will appoint a king over me, just as all the surrounding nations have done,’

15 He oiaio, e hoonoho oe maluna ou i ke alii a Iehova kou Akua e wae ai; o kekahi mai waena mai o kou poe hoahanau kau e hoonoho ai i alii maluna ou: mai hoonoho oe i ke kanaka e maluna ou, i ka mea aole o kou hoahanau.

you shall appoint him whom the Lord your God will choose from among the number of your brothers. You cannot make a man of another people king, one who is not your brother.

16 Aka, mai hoomahuahua oia i na lio nona, aole hoi ia e hoihoi i na kanaka i Aigupita, i mea e hoomahuahua ai ia i na lio: no ka mea, ua olelo mai o Iehova ia oukou, Mai hoi hou aku oukou ilaila.

And when he will have been appointed king, he shall not multiply horses for himself, nor lead the people back into Egypt, having been exalted by the number of his horsemen, especially since the Lord has instructed you never to return along the same way.

17 Mai hoomahuahua hoi oia i na wahine nana, o huli ae kona naau; aole hoi ia e hoomahuahua loa ae i ke kala a me ke gula nona.

He shall not have many wives, who might allure his mind, and he shall not have immense weights of silver and gold.

18 A i kona manawa e noho ai maluna o ka nohoalii o kona aupuni, e kakau iho ia nana i kope o keia kanawai, e like me ka buke imua o ka poe kahuna, na mamo a Levi.

Then, after he has been seated upon the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself the Deuteronomy of this law in a volume, using a copy from the priests of the Levitical tribe.

19 Me ia no ia e waiho ai, a e heluhelu no oia ia mea i na la a pau o kona oia ana; i aoia'i oia i ka makau ia Iehova kona Akua, e malama i na huaolelo a pau o keia kanawai, a me keia mau kauoha, e hana aku ia mau mea:

And he shall have it with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, and to keep his words and ceremonies, which are instructed in the law.

20 I hookiekie ole ai ia i kona naau maluna o kona poe hoahanau, i huli ole aku ia mai ke kauoha ae, ma ka akau, aole hoi ma ka hema; i mea e nui ai na la o kona aupuni, oia a me kana mau keiki iwaena o ka Iseraela.

And so may his heart not become exalted with arrogance over his brothers, nor turn aside to the right or to the left, so that he and his sons may reign for a long time over Israel.”
