Deuteronomy 9
1 Hear, Israel! You are to pass over the Jordan today, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,
E HOOLOHE, e ka Iseraela; e hele ana oe i keia la ma kela kapa o Ioredane, e komo a hoolilo nou i na lahuikanaka, he oi aku ka nui a me ka ikaika o lakou i kou, a i na kulanakauhale nui, ua paa i ka pa pohaku, a hala i ka lani.
2 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, “Who can stand before the sons of Anak?”
He poe kanaka nunui a loihi, na keiki a ka poe Anakima, a oukou i ike ai, a ua lohe hoi oe, Owai la auanei e hiki ke ku imua o na keiki a Anaka?
3 Know therefore today that the LORD your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire. He will destroy them and he will bring them down before you. So you shall drive them out and make them perish quickly, as the LORD has spoken to you.
E ike pono oe i keia la, o Iehova kou Akua, ka mea e hele ana imua ou, he ahi ia e hoopau ana, nana lakou e luku aku, a nana lakou e hoohaahaa iho imua o kou maka: a e hookuke aku oe ia lakou, a e luku koke aku ia lakou, e like me ka Iehova i olelo mai ai ia oe.
4 Don’t say in your heart, after the LORD your God has thrust them out from before you, “For my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land;” because the LORD drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.
Mai i iho oe iloko o kou naau mahope o ka Iehova kou Akua kipaku ana aku ia lakou mai kou alo aku, i ka i ana ae, No ko'u pono i lawe mai nei o Iehova ia'u e hoonoho ma keia aina; aka, no ka hewa o keia mau lahuikanaka i kipaku aku ai o Iehova ia lakou mai kou alo aku.
5 Not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Aole no kou pono, a me ka pololei o kou naau, kou hele ana e noho ma ko lakou aina; aka, no ka hewa o kela mau luhuikanaka, e kipaku aku ai o Iehova kou Akua ia lakou mai kou alo aku, a e hooko hoi ia i ka olelo a Iehova i hoohiki ai i kou mau kupuna, ia Aberahama, ia Isaaka, a me Iakoba.
6 Know therefore that the LORD your God doesn’t give you this good land to possess for your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people.
E ike hoi oe, aole o Iehova kou Akua e haawi mai i keia aina maikai i lilo ia nou, no kou pono; no ka mea, he poe kanaka a-i oolea oukou,
7 Remember, and don’t forget, how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that you left the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD.
E hoomanao oe, mai hoopoina i kou hoonaukiuki ana ia Iehova kou Akua ma ka waonahele: ma ka la i puka mai ai oukou mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, a hiki oukou ma keia wahi, ua kipi oukou ia Iehova.
8 Also in Horeb you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was angry with you to destroy you.
Ma Horeba hoi i hoonaukiuki aku ai oukou ia Iehova, a huhu mai la o Iehova ia oukou e luku aku ia oukou.
9 When I had gone up onto the mountain to receive the stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water.
Ia'u i pii ae i ka mauna e loaa na papapohaku, na papa o ke kanawai a Iehova i hana'i no oukou, hookahi kanaha ao, a hookahi kanaha po, a'u i noho ai ma ka mauna; aole au i ai i ka ai, aole hoi i inu i ka wai:
10 The LORD delivered to me the two stone tablets written with God’s finger. On them were all the words which the LORD spoke with you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly.
A haawi mai o Iehova ia'u i na papapohaku elua, i kakauia e ka lima o ke Akua; a maluna o ia mau mea na huaolelo a pau a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia oukou ma ka mauna, mailoko mai o ke ahi i ka la o ka houluulu ana.
11 It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights that the LORD gave me the two stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant.
A pau na la he kanaha, a me na po he kanaha, haawi mai la o Iehova ia'u i na papapohaku elua, oia na papa o ke kanawai.
12 The LORD said to me, “Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They have quickly turned away from the way which I commanded them. They have made a molten image for themselves!”
A olelo mai o Iehova ia'u, E ku ae oe, e iho koke oe mai keia wahi aku; no ka mea, ua hana hewa kou poe kanaka au i lawe mai nei mai ka aina o Aigupita mai: ua kapae koke ae lakou mai ke ala aku a'u i kauoha aku ai ia lakou; ua hana lakou i kii i hooheeheeia no lakou.
13 Furthermore the LORD spoke to me, saying, “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.
Olelo mai hoi o Iehova ia'u, i mai la, Ua ike au i keia poe kanaka, aia hoi, he poe kanaka a-i oolea keia.
14 Leave me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.”
E waiho mai oe ia'u, i luku aku ai au ia lakou, a i hokai aku ai i ko lakou inoa malalo ae o ka lani: a e hoolilo aku au ia oe i lahuikanaka ikaika loa, a nui loa hoi i ko lakou.
15 So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire. The two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.
A huli ae au, a iho ilalo mai ka mauna mai, ua wela ka mauna i ke ahi; a ma kuu mau lima elua na papa elua o ke kanawai.
16 I looked, and behold, you had sinned against the LORD your God. You had made yourselves a molded calf. You had quickly turned away from the way which the LORD had commanded you.
A nana iho la au, aia hoi, ua hana hewa oukou ia Iehova i ko oukou Akua, ua hana oukou i bipikeiki i hooheeheeia no oukou; ua kapae koke oukou mai ke ala aku a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia oukou.
17 I took hold of the two tablets, and threw them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
A lawe ae la au i na papa elua a hoolei aku la mai ko'u mau lima aku, a nahaha iho la imua o ko oukou maka.
18 I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger.
A haule iho la au imua o Iehova, e like mamua, hookahi kanaha ao, hookahi kanaha po; aole au i ai i ka berena, aole hoi i inu i ka wai, no ko oukou hewa a pau a oukou i hana hewa ai imua o Iehova, e hoonaukiuki aku ai ia ia.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which the LORD was angry against you to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me that time also.
No ka mea, makau iho la au i ka huhu a me ka inaina nui a Iehova i huhu mai ai ia oukou e luku ia oukou: aka, hoolohe mai no o Iehova ia'u i kela manawa.
20 The LORD was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him. I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
A huhu nui mai no hoi o Iehova ia Aarona e pepehi ia ia: a pule aku au no Aarona hoi i kela manawa.
21 I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire, and crushed it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. I threw its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain.
Lawe aku la au i ko oukou hala, i ka bipikeiki a oukou i hana'i, a puhi aku la i ke ahi, a kui iho la, a pepe liilii a aiai e like me ka lepo; a hoolei aku i kona lepo iloko o ke kahawai, e kahe ana mai ka mauna mai.
22 At Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah you provoked the LORD to wrath.
A ma Tabera, a ma Masa, a ma Kiberohataava, hoonaukiuki aku la oukou ia Iehova.
23 When the LORD sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, “Go up and possess the land which I have given you,” you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and you didn’t believe him or listen to his voice.
A ia Iehova hoi i hoouna aku ai ia oukou mai Kadesabanea aku, i ka i ana aku, E pii oukou a noho ma ka aina a'u i haawi ai no oukou; alaila kipi mai la oukou i ke kauoha a Iehova ko oukou Akua, aole oukou i hooia aku ia ia, aole hoi oukou i hoolohe i kona leo.
24 You have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
He poe kipi oukou ia Iehova mai ka manawa mai o kuu ike ana ia oukou.
25 So I fell down before the LORD the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
A haule iho la au imua o Iehova, hookahi kanaha ao, hookahi kanaha po, e like me kuu haule ana mamua; no ka mea, ua i mai o Iehova e luku aku ia oukou.
26 I prayed to the LORD, and said, “Lord GOD, don’t destroy your people and your inheritance that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
No ia mea, pule aku la au ia Iehova, i aku la, E Iehova, e ka Haku e, mai luku mai oe i kou poe kanaka, a me kou hooilina au i hoola'i ma kou mana, i ka mea hoi au i lawe mai nei mai Aigupita mai me ka lima ikaika.
27 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Don’t look at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin,
E hoomanao oe i kau mau kauwa, ia Aberahama, ia Isaaka, a me Iakoba: mai manao oe i ka paakiki o keia poe kanaka, aole hoi i ko lakou hewa a me ko lakou hala;
28 lest the land you brought us out from say, ‘Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’
O olelo mai auanei ko ka aina nolaila i lawe mai ai oe ia makou, No ka hiki ole ia Iehova ke lawe aku ia lakou ma ka aina ana i olelo mai ai ia lakou, a no kona inaina ia lakou, i lawe mai oia ia lakou e luku ia lakou ma ka waonahele.
29 Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.”
O kou poe kanaka no nae lakou, a me kou hooilina au i lawe mai nei me kou mana ikaika, a me kou lima kakauha.
