Deuteronomy 27

1 Then Moses and the elders of Israel instructed the people, saying: “Keep each commandment that I instruct to you this day.

Na ka whakahau a Mohi ratou ko nga kaumatua o Iharaira i te iwi, ka mea, Puritia nga whakahau katoa e whakahau nei ahau ki a koutou i tenei ra.

2 And when you have crossed over the Jordan, into the land which the Lord your God will give to you, you shall erect immense stones, and you shall coat them with plaster,

A, tenei ake, a te ra e whiti atu ai koutou i Horano ki te whenua e homai ana e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe, na, ka whakaara ake koe i etahi kohatu nunui mau, ka pani hoki ki te raima:

3 so that you may be able to write upon them all the words of this law, when you have crossed the Jordan so as to enter into the land which the Lord your God will give to you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as he swore to your fathers.

Ka tuhituhi hoki i nga kupu katoa o tenei ture ki reira, ua whiti atu koe; kia haere atu koe ki te whenua e homai ana e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe, ki te whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi, kia pera me ta Ihowa, me ta te Atua o ou matua, i korero ai ki a koe.

4 Therefore, when you have crossed over the Jordan, erect the stones, just as I instruct you to do this day, on Mount Ebal. And you shall coat them with plaster,

Mo reira, e whiti koutou i Horano, me whakaara enei kohatu e whakahaua nei e ahau i tenei ra ki a koutou, ki runga ki Maunga Epara ka pani hoki ki te raima.

5 and you shall build, in that place, an altar to the Lord your God out of stones which have not been touched by iron,

A me hanga e koe ki reira tetahi aata ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua, hei te aata kohatu; kaua e akina iho e koe ki te rino.

6 out of stones which have not been hewn or polished. And you shall offer holocausts on it to the Lord your God.

Me hanga e koe te aata ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua, ki nga kohatu toitu: ka whakaeke ai i nga tahunga tinana ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua, ki runga:

7 And you shall immolate peace victims. And you shall eat and feast in that place, in the sight of the Lord your God.

Patua hoki nga whakahere mo te pai, a kainga ki reira; me te koa ano ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua.

8 And you shall write upon the stones all the words of this law, plainly and clearly.”

Ka tuhituhi hoki i nga kupu o tenei ture ki nga kohatu, kia marama tonu.

9 And Moses and the priests of Levitical stock said to all of Israel: “Attend and listen, O Israel! Today you have become the people of the Lord your God.

I korero ano a Mohi ratou ko nga tohunga, ko nga Riwaiti, ki a Iharaira, i mea, Noho puku mai, a whakarongo, e Iharaira; no tenei ra i meinga ai koe hei iwi mo Ihowa, mo tou Atua.

10 You shall listen to his voice, and you shall do the commandments and justices, which I am entrusting to you.”

Na me whakarongo koe ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, me mahi hoki i ana whakahau, me ana tikanga e whakahaua atu nei e ahau ki a koe i tenei ra.

11 And Moses instructed the people in that day, saying:

I whakahau hoki a Mohi i te iwi i taua rangi ano, i mea,

12 “These shall stand upon Mount Gerizim, as a blessing to the people, when you will have crossed the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

Ko enei e tu ki runga ki Maunga Keritimi hei manaaki i te iwi, ua whiti atu koutou i Horano; ko Himiona, ko Riwai, ko Hura, ko Ihakara, ratou ko Hohepa, ko Pineamine:

13 And in the opposite region, there shall stand upon Mount Ebal, as a curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

Ko enei e tu ki runga ki Maunga Epara hei kanga; ko Reupena, ko Kara, ko Ahera, ko Hepurona, ko Rana, ko Napatari.

14 And the Levites shall pronounce and declare to all the men of Israel, with an exalted voice:

Na ka korero nga Riwaiti, ka mea, kia nui hoki te reo, ki nga tangata katoa o Iharaira.

15 Cursed be the man who makes a graven or molten idol, an abomination to the Lord, a work of the hands of its maker, and who puts it in a secret place. And all the people shall respond by saying: Amen.

Kia kanga te tangata e hanga ana i te whakapakoko, i te mea whakairo, whakarewa ranei, e whakariharihangia nei e Ihowa, he mea mahi na te ringa o te kaimahi, e whakanoho ana hoki i taua mea ki te wahi ngaro. Ma te iwi katoa e whakahoki, e mea, A mine.

16 Cursed be he who does not honor his father and mother. And all the people shall say: Amen.

Kia kanga te tangata e whakahawea ana ki tona papa, ki tona whaea ranei. Ma te iwi katoa e whakahoki, e mea, Amine.

17 Cursed be he who removes his neighbor’s landmarks. And all the people shall say: Amen.

Kia kanga a tangata e neke atu ana i te rohe o tona hoa. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

18 Cursed be he who causes the blind to go astray on a journey. And all the people shall say: Amen.

19 Cursed be he who subverts the judgment of the new arrival, the orphan, or the widow. And all the people shall say: Amen.

Kia kanga te tangata e whakaputa ke ana i te whakawa mo te manene, mo te pani, mo te pouaru. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

20 Cursed be he who lies with his father’s wife, and so exposes the covering of his bed. And all the people shall say: Amen.

Kia kanga te tangata e moe ana ki te wahine a tona papa; mona i hura i te remu o tona papa. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

Kia kanga te tangata e moe ana ki tona tuahine, ki te tamahine a tona papa, ki te tamahine ranei a tona whaea. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

23 Cursed be he who lies with his mother-in-law. And all the people shall say: Amen.

Kia kanga te tangata e moe ana ki tona hungawai wahine. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

24 Cursed be he who secretly strikes down his neighbor. And all the people shall say: Amen.

Kia kanga te tangata e patu puku ana i tona hoa. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

25 Cursed be he who accepts gifts in order to strike down the life of innocent blood. And all the people shall say: Amen.

Kia kanga te tangata e tango ana i te utu mo te patunga o te tangata harakore. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

26 Cursed be he who does not remain in the words of this law, and does not carry them out in deed. And all the people shall say: Amen.”

Kia kanga te tangata e kore e mau i a ia nga kupu o tenei ture, hei mahi mana. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.
