Kanawailua 4

1 A NO hoi, e hoolohe, e ka Iseraela, i na kanawai a me na olelo kupaa a'u e ao aku nei ia oukou, e malama, i ola oukou, i komo hoi oukou, a noho ma ka aina a Iehova ke Akua o ko oukou poe kupuna e haawi mai ai no oukou.

“And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and to the judgments which I am teaching you to do, so that you live, and have gone in, and possessed the land which YHWH God of your fathers is giving to you.

2 Mai hoopili mai oukou i kekahi olelo me ka mea a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oukou, aole hoi oukou e hooemi iho ia, i malama ai oukou i na kauoha a Iehova ko oukou Akua a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oukou.

You do not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor diminish from it, to keep the commands of your God YHWH which I am commanding you.

3 Ua ike ko oukou maka i ka mea a Iehova i hana mai ai no Baala-peora; no ka mea, o na kanaka a pau i hahai mamuli o Baala-peora, na Iehova kou Akua lakou i luku aku mai o oukou aku.

Your eyes are seeing that which YHWH has done in Ba‘al-Peor, for every man who has gone after Ba‘al-Peor, your God YHWH has destroyed him from your midst;

4 Aka, o oukou, ka poe i pili aku ia Iehova ko oukou Akua, ke ola nei no oukou a pau i keia la.

and you who are cleaving to your God YHWH [are] alive today—all of you.

5 Aia hoi, ua ao aku au ia oukou i na kanawai a me na olelo kupaa, e like me ka Iehova ko'u Akua i kauoha mai ai ia'u, e malama oukou pela ma ka aina a oukou e hele aku ai e noho.

See, I have taught you statutes and judgments, as my God YHWH has commanded me, to do so in the midst of the land to where you are going in to possess it;

6 E malama hoi oukou, a e hana aku; no ka mea, o ko oukou naauao keia, a me ko oukou ike imua o na lahuikanaka, ka poe e lohe i keia mau kanawai a pau, a e i ae lakou, He oiaio, o keia lahuikanaka nui, he poe kanaka naauao a me ka ike.

and you have kept and done [them] (for it [is] your wisdom and your understanding) before the eyes of the peoples who hear all these statutes, and they have said, Surely a people wise and understanding [is] this great nation.

7 No ka mea, owai la ka lahuikanaka nui, ia lakou ke Akua e hookokoke ana ia lakou, e like me Iehova ko kakou Akua, ma na mea a pau a kakou i kahea aku ai ia ia?

For which [is] the great nation that has God [so] near to it, as our God YHWH, in all we have called to Him?

8 A owai hoi ka lahuikanaka nui, ia ia na kanawai, a me na olelo kupaa ma ka pono e like me keia kanawai a pau a'u e waiho nei imua o oukou i keia la.

And which [is] the great nation which has righteous statutes and judgments according to all this law which I am setting before you today?

9 E makaala ia oe iho, a e malama nui hoi i kou naau, o hoopoina auanei oe i na mea a kou maka i ike ai, a o nalowale auanei ia mea i kou naau i na la a pau o kou ola ana; aka, e ao aku ia mau mea i kau mau keiki, a me kau mau moopuna;

Only, take heed to yourself, and watch your soul exceedingly, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen, and lest they turn aside from your heart all [the] days of your life; and you have made them known to your sons and to your sons’ sons.

10 I ka la au i ku ai imua o Iehova kou Akua ma Horeba, i ka Iehova olelo ana mai ia'u, E houluulu oe i na kanaka imua o'u, a e ao aku au ia lakou e hoolohe i ka'u mau olelo, i aoia'i lakou e makau ia'u i na la a pau o ko lakou noho ana ma ka honua, a i ao aku ai lakou i ka lakou poe keiki.

[Never forget] the day when you have stood before your God YHWH in Horeb, in YHWH’s saying to me, Assemble the people to Me, and I cause them to hear My words, so that they learn to fear Me all the days that they are alive on the ground, and they teach their sons;

11 Hele kokoke mai oukou, a ku ae la malalo o ka mauna; a ua wela ka mauna i ke alii, a iwaena o ka lani me ka poeleele, me ke ao, a me ka pouli nui.

and you draw near and stand under the mountain, and the mountain is burning with fire to the heart of the heavens, [with] darkness, cloud, and thick darkness,

12 A olelo mai o Iehova ia oukou maiwaena mai o ke ahi: a lohe oukou i ka leo o na olelo, aole nae oukou i ike aku i ke ano, o ka leo wale no.

and YHWH speaks to you out of the midst of the fire; you are hearing a voice of words, but you are seeing no likeness, only a voice;

13 Hai mai la no oia ia oukou i ka berita ana i kauoha mai ai ia oukou e malama, oia na kanawai he umi; a kakau iho la no oia ia mau mea ma na papapohaku elua,

and He declares His covenant to you, which He has commanded you to do, the Ten Commandments, and He writes them on two tablets of stone.

14 A kauoha mai o Iehova ia'u i kela manawa e ao aku ia oukou i na kanawai a me na olelo kupaa, e malama oukou ia mau mea ma ka aina a oukou e hele ai a noho.

And YHWH has commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, for your doing them in the land to where you are passing over to possess it.

15 E malama nui oukou ia oukou iho; no ka mea, aole oukou i ike i kekahi ano kii i ka la a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia oukou ma Horeba mailoko mai o ke ahi;

And you have been very watchful of your souls, for you have not seen any likeness in the day of YHWH’s speaking to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire,

16 O hana hewa auanei, a hana aku oukou i kii kalaiia no oukou, ma ka like ana me kekahi mea, o ke kane, a o ka wahine paha,

lest you do corruptly, and have made for yourselves a carved image, a likeness of any figure: a form of male or female,

17 Ma ka like ana me kekahi holoholona ma ka honua, ma ka like ana me kekahi manu e lele ana i ke ao;

a form of any beast which [is] in the earth, a form of any winged bird which flies in the heavens,

18 Ma ka like ana me kekahi mea e kolo ana ma ka honua, ma ka like ana me kekahi ia maloko o ka wai malalo ae o ka honua:

a form of any creeping thing on the ground, a form of any fish which [is] in the waters below the earth.

19 A o leha ae auanei kou maka ma ka lani, a ike aku oe i ka la, a me ka mahina, a me na hoku, i na mea a pau o ka lani, a e koiia oe e hoomana aku ia mau mea, a e malama ia lakou, i na mea a Iehova kou Akua i hana'i no na lahuikanaka a pau malalo ae o ka lani.

And lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens, and have seen the sun, and the moon, and the stars, all the host of the heavens, and have been drawn away, and have bowed yourself to them and served them, which your God YHWH has apportioned to all the peoples under all the heavens.

20 Aka, ua lawe mai o Iehova ia oukou, a ua alakai hoi ia oukou mailoko mai o ke kapuahihao, mai Aigupita mai, e lilo oukou i poe kanaka hooilina nona, e like me oukou i keia la.

And YHWH has taken you, and He is bringing you out from the iron furnace, from Egypt, to be to Him for a people, an inheritance, as [at] this day.

21 A huhu mai o Iehova ia'u no oukou, a hoohiki iho, aole au e hele ma kela kapa o Ioredane, aole hoi au e komo iloko o kela aina maikai a Iehova kou Akua i hooili mai ai no oukou:

And YHWH has showed Himself angry with me because of your words, and swears to my not passing over the Jordan, and to my not going into the good land which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance;

22 No ka mea, e make no wau ma keia aina, aole au e hele ma kela kapa o Ioredane: aka, e hele no oukou ma kela aoao, a e lilo kela aina maikai no oukou.

for I am dying in this land; I am not passing over the Jordan, but you are passing over and have possessed this good land.

23 E malama pono ia oukou iho, o poina ia oukou ka berita a Iehova i hana mai ai me oukou, a hana oukou i kii kalaiia no oukou, ma ka like ana me kekahi mea a Iehova kou Akua i papa mai ai ia oe.

Take heed to yourselves lest you forget the covenant of your God YHWH which He has made with you, and have made a carved image for yourselves, a likeness of anything [concerning] which your God YHWH has charged you;

24 No ka mea, o Iehova kou Akua, he ahi ia e hoopau ana, he Akua lili.

for your God YHWH is a consuming fire—a zealous God.

25 A loaa ia oukou na keiki a me na mamo, a loihi ko oukou noho ana ma ka aina, a e hana hewa oukou, a e hana oukou i kii kalaiia, ma ke ano o kekahi mea, a hana ino hoi imua o na maka o Iehova, e hoonaukiuki ia ia;

When you beget sons and sons’ sons, and you have become old in the land, and have done corruptly, and have made a carved image, a likeness of anything, and have done evil in the eyes of YHWH to provoke Him to anger,

26 Ke hai aku nei au i keia la, he ike maka ka lani a me ka honua ia oukou, e make koke ana oukou, mai ka aina aku a oukou e hele aku ma kela kapa o Ioredane e noho ai; aole e noho loihi oukou malaila, aka, e luku loa ia aku oukou.

I have caused the heavens and the earth to testify against you this day, that you perish utterly quickly from off the land to where you are passing over the Jordan to possess it; you do not prolong days on it, but are utterly destroyed;

27 A na Iehova oukou e hoopuehu aku iwaena o na lahuikanaka, a e waihoia oukou, he poe uuku iwaena o ko na aina e, kahi a Iehova e kai aku ai ia oukou.

and YHWH has scattered you among the peoples, and you have been left few in number among the nations to where YHWH leads you,

28 A malaila oukou e malama ai i na akua i hanaia e na lima o kanaka, he laau, he pohaku, ka mea ike ole aole hoi e lohe, aole hoi e ai, aole hoi e honi.

and you have served gods there, work of man’s hands, wood and stone, which do not see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

29 Aka, ina ma ia wahi oe e imi ai ia Iehova kou Akua, e loaa ia oe, ke imi oe ia ia me kou naau a pau, a me kou uhane a pau.

And you have sought your God YHWH from there, and have found [Him] when you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

30 A loaa ia oe ka popilikia, a hiki mai keia mau mea a pau maluna ou i na la mahope, a i huli mai oe ia Iehova kou Akua, a hoolohe i kona leo,

In the distress of yours, when all these things have found you in the latter end of the days, and you have turned back to your God YHWH and have listened to His voice—

31 (No ka mea, o Iehova kou Akua, he Akua aloha, ) aole ia e haalele mai ia oe, aole e luku mai ia oe, aole hoi ia e hoopoina i ka berita o kou mau kupuna ana i hoohiki ai ia lakou.

for your God YHWH [is] a merciful God—He does not fail you, nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He has sworn to them.

32 Ano e ninau aku oe i na la i hala mahope, i ka wa mamua ou, a mai ka manawa mai a ke Akua i hana'i ke kanaka ma ka honua, a mai kela aoao o ka lani a hiki i keia aoao o ka lani, auhea ae nei ka mea like me keia mea nui, auhea ka mea i loheia e like ai me ia?

For ask now of the former days which have been before you, from the day that God created man on the earth, and from the [one] end of the heavens even to the [other] end of the heavens, whether there has been as this great thing, or [if anything] has been heard like it.

33 Owai la ka poe kanaka i lohe i ka leo o ke Akua e olelo ana, mailoko mai o ke ahi, e like me kou lohe ana, a ola?

Has a people heard the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, you—and live?

34 Ua hoao anei ke Akua e hele a e lawe i lahuikanaka nona maiwaena mai o kekahi lahuikanaka, ma na hoao ana, a ma na hoailona, a ma na mea kupanaha, a ma ke kaua, a ma ka lima ikaika, a ma ka lima kakauha, a ma na mea weliweli nui, e like me na mea a pau a Iehova ko oukou Akua i hana mai ai no oukou ma Aigupita imua o kou maka?

Or has God tried to go in to take a nation for Himself from the midst of a nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a strong hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that your God YHWH has done to you in Egypt before your eyes?

35 Ua hoikeia ia mea ia oe, i ike ai oe, o Iehova, oia ke Akua, aohe mea e ae, oia wale no.

You—you have been shown [it], to know that He, YHWH, [is] God; there is none else besides Him.

36 Oia no ka mea i lohe ai oe i kona leo mai ka lani mai, i ao ai oia ia oe; a ma ka honua, i hoike mai ia ia oe i kona ahi nui; a ua lohe oe i kana mau huaolelo mailoko mai o ke ahi.

He has caused you to hear His voice from the heavens, to instruct you; and on earth He has showed you His great fire, and you have heard His words out of the midst of the fire.

37 A no kona aloha i na kupuna ou, oia ka mea i wae mai ai ia i ka lakou poe mamo mahope o lakou, a lawe mai oia ia oe imua ona me kona mana nui mai Aigupita mai;

And because that He has loved your fathers, He also fixes on their seed after them, and brings you out in His presence, by His great power, from Egypt,

38 E hookuke aku i na lahuikanaka mai kou alo aku, i ka poe ua oi aku ko lakou nui, a me ko lakou ikaika i kou, e hookomo ia oe, a e hoolilo i ko lakou aina nou, e like me ia i keia la.

to dispossess nations greater and stronger than you from your presence, to bring you in to give their land to you [for] an inheritance, as [at] this day.

39 E ike hoi oe i keia la, a e noonoo maloko o kou naau, o Iehova, oia ke Akua ma ka lani iluna, a ma ka honua ilalo, aole e ae.

And you have known today, and have turned [it] back to your heart, that He, YHWH, [is] God in the heavens above and on the earth below—there is none else;

40 E malama hoi oe i kona mau kanawai a me kana mau kauoha a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe i keia la, i pomaikai ai oe, a me kau mau keiki mahope ou, a i hooloihi ai oe i na la ma ka aina a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai nou i na la a pau loa.

and you have kept His statutes and His commands which I am commanding you today, so that it is well for you, and for your sons after you, and so that you prolong days on the ground which your God YHWH is giving to you—all the days.”

41 Alaila hookaawale ae la o Mose i na kulanakauhale ekolu ma keia aoao o Ioredane ma ka hiki ana o ka la;

Then Moses separates three cities beyond the Jordan, toward the sun-rising,

42 I holo ai ka pepehi kanaka malaila, ka mea i pepehi i kona hoalauna me ka ike ole, aole i inaina aku ia ia mamua; a i kona holo ana i kekahi o keia mau kulanakauhale, e ola ia:

for the fleeing there of the manslayer who slays his neighbor unknowingly, and he is not hating him before, and he has fled to one of these cities and he has lived:

43 O Bezera ma ka waonahele i ka aina papu o ka Reubena; a o Ramota ma Gileada o ka Gada; a o Golana ma Basana o ka Manase.

Bezer in the wilderness, in the land of the plain, for the Reubenite; and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadite; and Golan in Bashan for the Manassite.

44 A o keia ke kanawai a Mose i waiho ai imua o na mamo a Iseraela:

And this [is] the law which Moses has set before the sons of Israel;

45 Oia na kauoha a me na kanawai, a me na olelo kupaa a Mose i olelo mai ai i na mamo a Iseraela, mahope o ka lakou hele ana mai Aigupita mai;

these [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses has spoken to the sons of Israel in their coming out of Egypt,

46 Ma keia aoao o Ioredane, ma ke awawa e ku pono ana i Betepeora, i ka aina o Sihona, ke alii o ka Amora ka mea i noho ma Hesebona, ka mea a Mose a me na mamo a Iseraela i pepehi ai, mahope o ka puka ana, mai Aigupita mai:

beyond the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth-Peor, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorite, who is dwelling in Heshbon, whom Moses and the sons of Israel have struck in their coming out of Egypt;

47 A lilo kona aina ia lakou, a me ka aina o Oga, ke alii o Basana, na'lii elua o ka Amora, ma keia aoao o Ioredane ma ka hiki ana o ka la:

and they possess his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorite who [are] beyond the Jordan, [toward] the sun-rising,

48 Mai Aroera, ma ke kae o ke kahawai o Arenona, a i ka mauna o Ziona, oia hoi o Heremona,

from Aroer, which [is] by the edge of the Brook of Arnon, even to Mount Zion, which [is] Hermon—

49 A o ka papu a pau ma keia aoao o Ioredane ma ka hikina, a hiki i ke kai o ka papu, o kahi haahaa ma ke kumu o Pisega,

and all the plain beyond the Jordan eastward, even to the Sea of the Plain, below the Springs of Pisgah.
