Deuteronomy 27

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

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, “Tauhi ʻae ngaahi fekau kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni.

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,

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te mou ʻalu ai ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, te ke fokotuʻu ai ʻae ngaahi maka lahi maʻau, pea ke ʻaofi ʻaki ia ʻae lahe:

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.

Pea te ke tohi ki ai ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni, ʻoka hili hoʻo hoko ki he kauvai, koeʻuhi ke ke ʻalu ʻo hoko ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko e fonua ʻoku mahutāfea ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo talaʻofa kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamai.

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,

Ko ia ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi hoʻomou ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, te mou fokotuʻu ʻae ngaahi maka ni, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku fekau kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni, ʻi he moʻunga ko Ipale, pea te ke ʻaofi ʻaki ia ʻae lahe.

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,

Pea te ke fokotuʻu ʻi ai ʻae feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko e feilaulauʻanga maka: ʻoua naʻa ke hiki ki ai ha [toki ]ukamea.

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

Ke ke fokotuʻu ʻae feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae ngaahi foʻi maka kotoa: pea te ke ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua:

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

Pea te ke ʻatu ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, pea ke kai ʻi ai, pea ke fiefia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

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

Pea te ke tohi ki he ngaahi maka ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni ke ʻilongofua.”

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.

Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese mo e kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻIsileli ke ke vakai, mo ke tokanga; kuo ke hoko he ʻaho ni ko e kakai ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

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

Ko ia ke ke fai talangofua ai ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea fai ki heʻene ngaahi fekau mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni.”

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

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ki he kakai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo pehē,

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 kinautolu eni ʻe tuʻu ʻi he moʻunga ko Kelisimi ke tāpuakiʻi ʻae kakai, ʻi hoʻomou hoko atu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani; ko Simione, mo Livai, mo Siuta, mo ʻIsaka, mo Siosefa, mo Penisimani:

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

Pea ko kinautolu eni ʻe tuʻu ʻi he moʻunga ko Ipale ke fakamalaʻia; ko Lupeni, mo Kata, mo ʻAseli, mo Sepuloni, mo Tani, mo Nafitali.

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

Pea ʻe lea ʻae kau Livai, ʻo tala ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi ki he kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli,

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.

‌ʻE malaʻia ʻae tangata ʻaia ʻoku ne ngaohi ha meʻa fakatātā kuo tā pe haka, ko e meʻa fakalielia kia Sihova, ko e ngāue ʻae nima ʻoe tufunga, pea ʻoku ne tuku ia ʻi he potu lilo. Pea ʻe tali ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo pehē, ʻEmeni.
