Deuteronomy 8
1 All the commandment which I command thee this day ye shall observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers.
Kia mahara kia mahia nga whakahau katoa e whakahaua nei e ahau i tenei ra, kia ora ai koutou, kia tini ai, kia tae ai hoki, kia whiwhi ai ki te whenua i oati ra a Ihowa ki a koutou matua.
2 And thou shall remember all the way which Jehovah thy God has led thee these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble thee, to prove thee, to know what was in thy heart, whether thou would keep his commandments, or not.
Kia mahara hoki ki te ara katoa i arahi ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe i te koraha, i enei tau e wha tekau, kia iro ai koe, hei whakamatautau hoki i a koe, kia mohiotia ai nga aha noa i roto i tou ngakau, ka pupuri ranei koe i ana whakahau, kahore ranei.
3 And he humbled thee, and allowed thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knew not, neither did thy fathers know, that he might make thee know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Jehovah.
A whakawhiua ana koe e ia, whakamatea ana ki te kai, whangaia ana ki te mana, kihai nei i mohiotia e koe, kihai ano i mohiotia e ou matua; kia whakamohio ai ia i a koe e kore te tangata e ora i te taro kau, engari ma nga kupu katoa e puta mai ana i te mangai o Ihowa ka ora ai te tangata.
4 Thy raiment did not grow old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
Kihai tou kakahu i tawhitotia ki runga ki a koe, kihai ano hoki tou waewae i pupuhi, i enei tau e wha tekau.
5 And thou shall consider in thy heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so Jehovah thy God chastens thee.
A ka mahara koe i roto i tou ngakau, e papaki ana a Ihowa, tou Atua i a koe, e pera ana me te tangata e papaki ana i tana tama.
6 And thou shall keep the commandments of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
Na kia mau ki nga whakahau a Ihowa, a tou Atua, haere hoki i ana huarahi me te wehi ano ki a ia.
7 For Jehovah thy God brings thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills;
Na te mea e kawe ana a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe ki te whenua pai, ki te whenua o nga awa wai, o nga puna, o nga wai hohonu, e pupu mai ana i nga raorao, i nga maunga;
8 a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey,
Ki te whenua o te witi, o te parei, o te waina, o te piki, o te pamekaranete: ki te whenua o te hinu oriwa, o te honi;
9 a land in which thou shall eat bread without scarceness. Thou shall not lack anything in it, a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou may dig copper.
Ki te whenua e kore ai e onge tau taro e kai ai koe, e kore rawa ai koe e hapa i tetahi mea; ki te whenua he rino ona kohatu, ka keri ano koe i te parahi i roto i ona maunga.
10 And thou shall eat and be full, and thou shall bless Jehovah thy God for the good land which he has given thee.
A ka kai koe, ka makona, na kia whakapai atu koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, mo te whenua pai kua homai e ia ki a koe.
11 Beware lest thou forget Jehovah thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command thee this day.
Kia tupato kei wareware ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kei kore koe e pupuri i ana whakahau, i ana whakaritenga, i ana tikanga, e whakahaua nei e ahau ki a koe i tenei ra:
12 Lest, when thou have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and dwelt in it,
Kei kai koe, a ka makona, kei hanga hoki i nga whare papai, a noho iho;
13 and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou have is multiplied,
A ka tini haere au kau, me au hipi, ka nui hoki te hiriwa me te koura ki a koe, a ka tini haere nga mea katoa ki a koe;
14 then thy heart be lifted up, and thou forget Jehovah thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage,
Na ka kake tou ngakau, a ka wareware koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i whakaputa mai ra i a koe i te whenua o Ihipa, i te whare pononga;
15 who led thee through the great and terrible wilderness-fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where was no water-who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint,
I arataki hoki i a koe i tena koraha nui, whakamataku, i reira nei nga nakahi tu a ahi me nga kopiona, me te whenua matewai, kahore o reira wai; i whakaputa mai ano i te wai mou i roto i te kohatu kiripaka;
16 who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers did not know, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end.
I whangai i a koe i te koraha ki te mana, kihai nei i mohiotia e ou matua; kia iro ai koe, kia whakamatautau ai hoki ia i a koe, a kia pai ai te tukunga iho ki a koe;
17 And lest thou say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.
A ka mea koe i roto i tou ngakau, Na toku kaha, na te uaua hoki o toku ringa, i whiwhi ai ahau ki enei taonga.
18 But thou shall remember Jehovah thy God, for it is he who gives thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to thy fathers, as at this day.
Engari kia mahara ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, nana hoki i homai te kaha ki a koe i whiwhi ai ki te taonga; kia mana ai tana kawenata i oati ai ia ki ou matua, a ka rite nei inaianei.
19 And it shall be, if thou shall forget Jehovah thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
Na ki te wareware koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, a ka whai ki nga atua ke, ka mahi ki a ratou, ka koropiko atu hoki ki a ratou, maku e ki atu ki a koutou i tenei ra, ka ngaro rawa koutou.
20 As the nations that Jehovah makes to perish before you, so shall ye perish, because ye would not hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God.
Ka rite ki nga iwi e whakangaromia nei e Ihowa i to koutou aroaro, ka pera ano koutou, ka ngaro; mo koutou kihai i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua.
