Deuteronomy 30

1 “Now when all these things will have fallen over you, the blessing or the curse that I have set forth in your sight, and you will have been led to repentance in your heart among all the nations to which the Lord your God will have dispersed you,

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, “ʻI he fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate koe, ʻae tāpuaki mo e malaʻia, ʻaia kuo u fokotuʻu ʻi ho ʻao, pea ke fakamanatu ki he ngaahi meʻa ni ʻi he puleʻanga kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo kapusi koe ki ai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua,

2 and when you will have returned to him, so as to obey his commandments, just as I have instructed you this day, with your sons, with your whole heart and with your whole soul,

Pea ke tafoki kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo fai talangofua ki hono leʻo ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni, ʻa koe mo hoʻo fānau, ʻaki ho loto kotoa pea ʻi ho laumālie kotoa;

3 then the Lord your God will lead you away from your captivity, and he will take pity on you, and he will gather you again from all the nations to which he had dispersed you before.

‌ʻE toki liliu ai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻa ho pōpula, pea ʻe ʻaloʻofa [ia ]kiate koe, pea ʻe tafoki [ia ]ʻo tānaki koe mei he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo fakamovetevete koe ki ai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

4 Even if you will have been scattered as far as the poles of the heavens, the Lord your God will retrieve you from there.

Kapau ʻoku ai hao niʻihi kuo kapusi atu ki he potu mamaʻo ange ʻaupito ʻoe langi, ʻe tānaki koe mei ai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea te ne ʻomi koe mei ai:

5 And he will take you up and lead you into the land which your fathers had possessed, and you shall obtain it. And in blessing you, he will make you greater in number than your fathers ever were.

Pea ʻe ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki he fonua ʻaia naʻe maʻu ʻe hoʻo ngaahi tamai, pea te ke maʻu ia; pea ʻe fai lelei ʻe ia kiate koe, pea fakatokolahi hake koe ʻi hoʻo ngaahi tamai.

6 The Lord your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your offspring, so that you may love the Lord your God with your entire heart and with your entire soul, so that you may be able to live.

Pea ʻe kamuʻi ho loto ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, mo e loto ʻo ho hako, ke ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ho loto kotoa, pea ʻi ho laumālie kotoa, koeʻuhi ke ke moʻui.

7 And he will turn all these curses upon your enemies, and upon those who hate and persecute you.

Pea ʻe ʻai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi malaʻia ni kotoa pē ki ho ngaahi fili, pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate koe, mo fakatangaʻi koe.

8 But you shall return, and you shall listen to the voice of the Lord your God. And you shall carry out all the commandments which I am entrusting to you this day.

Pea te ke tafoki ʻo fai talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova, ʻo fai ʻae ngaahi fekau ni kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni.

9 And the Lord your God will cause you to abound in all the works of your hands, in the progeny of your womb, and in the fruit of your cattle, in the fertility of your land, and with an abundance of all things. For the Lord will return, so that he may rejoice over you in all good things, just as he rejoiced in your fathers:

Pea ʻe fakamonūʻiaʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he ngāue kotoa pē ʻa ho nima, ʻi he fua ʻo ho sino, ʻi he fua ʻo hoʻo fanga manu, pea ʻi he fua ʻo ho fonua, ke ke lelei ai: koeʻuhi ʻe toe fiefia ʻa Sihova kiate koe ʻi he lelei, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fiefia ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai:

10 but only if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep his precepts and ceremonies, which have been written in this law, and only if you return to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

Kapau te ke tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻaia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ʻoe fono ni, pea kapau te ke tafoki kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ho loto kotoa, mo ho laumālie kotoa.

11 This commandment, which I entrust to you today, is not high above you, nor has it been placed far away.

“He ko e fekau ni ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau ai kiate koe he ʻaho ni, ʻoku ʻikai lilo meiate koe, pea ʻoku ʻikai mamaʻo ia ʻiate koe.

12 Nor is it in heaven, so that you would be able to say, ‘Which of us can ascend to heaven, so as to carry it back to us, and so that we may hear it and fulfill it in deed?’

‌ʻOku ʻikai ʻi he langi ia, koeʻuhi ke ke pehē ai, ‘Ko hai ʻe ʻalu hake ki langi maʻatautolu, pea ʻomi ia kiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi ketau fanongo ki ai, ʻo fai ia?’

13 Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you would excuse yourself by saying, ‘Which of us is able to cross the sea, and to carry it back to us, so that we may be able to hear and to do what has been instructed?’

Pea ʻoku ʻikai mamaʻo atu ia ʻi he tuʻa tahi, koeʻuhi ke ke pehē ai, ‘Ko hai ʻe ʻalu mamaʻo atu ʻi he tahi pea ʻomi ia kiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi ketau fanongo ai, pea fai ia?’

14 Instead, the word is near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it.

Ka ʻoku ofi ʻaupito ʻae lea kiate koe ʻoku ʻi ho ngutu, pea ʻi ho loto, koeʻuhi ke ke fai ki ai.

15 Consider what I have set forth in your sight this day, life and good, or, on the opposite side, death and evil,

“Vakai, kuo u fokotuʻu ʻi ho ʻao he ʻaho ni ʻae moʻui mo e lelei, mo e mate mo e kovi;

16 so that you may love the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and so that you may live, and he may multiply you and bless you in the land, which you shall enter in order to possess.

Koeʻuhi ʻi heʻeku fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni ke ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke ʻalu ʻi hono ngaahi hala, pea tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo ʻene ngaahi fakamaau, koeʻuhi ke ke moʻui pea hoko ʻo tokolahi: pea ʻe tāpuaki koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he fonua ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai ke maʻu ia.

17 But if your heart will have been turned aside, so that you are not willing to listen, and, having been deceived by error, you adore strange gods and serve them,

Pea kapau ʻe tafoki ho loto, pea ʻikai te ke tokanga, kae tohoekina koe ke mamaʻo, pea [ke ]lotu ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, pea tauhi ʻakinautolu;

18 then I predict to you this day that you will perish, and you will remain for only a short time in the land, for which you shall cross the Jordan, and which you shall enter in order to possess.

‌ʻOku ou valoki ʻakimoutolu he ʻaho ni ko e moʻoni te mou ʻauha, pea ʻe ʻikai te mou fakatolonga homou ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he fonua, ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻalu ai ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani ke maʻu ia.

19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore, choose life, so that both you and your offspring may live,

‌ʻOku ou ui ki he langi mo māmani ke fakamoʻoni he ʻaho ni, kuo u fokotuʻu ʻi homou ʻao ʻae moʻui mo e mate, ʻae tāpuaki mo e malaʻia: ko ia ke ke fili ʻae moʻui, koeʻuhi ke moʻui fakatouʻosi ai koe mo ho hako:

20 and so that you may love the Lord your God, and obey his voice, and cling to him, (for he is your life and the length of your days) and so that you may live in the land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them.”

Koeʻuhi ke ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea ke fai talangofua ki hono leʻo, pea koeʻuhi ke ke pikitai kiate ia: he ko hoʻo moʻuiʻanga ia, mo e fakatolongaʻanga ʻo ho ngaahi ʻaho: koeʻuhi ke ke nofo ai koe ʻi he fonua ʻaia naʻe fuakava ki ai ʻe Sihova ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai, kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo Sēkope, ke foaki kiate kinautolu.”
