< Deuteronomy 13 >
1 If there arise among you a prophet, or one that dreameth dreams, and he give thee a sign or a wonder,
Ki te whakatika ake i roto i a koutou he poropiti, he moemoea ranei, a ka homai e ia ki a koe he tohu, he merekara ranei,
2 and the sign or the wonder come to pass that he told unto thee, when he said, Let us go after other gods, whom thou hast not known, and let us serve them,
A ka puta mai te tohu, te merekara ranei, i korero ai ia ki a koe, i mea ai, Tatou ka whai ki nga atua ke, kihai nei i mohiotia e koe, ka mahi atu hoki ki a ratou;
3 — thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams; for Jehovah your God proveth you, to know whether ye love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Kei whakarongo koe ki nga korero a taua poropiti, a taua tangata moemoea ranei: e whakamatautau ana hoki a Ihowa, to koutou Atua, i a koutou, kia mohio ai e whakapaua ranei o koutou ngakau katoa, o koutou wairua katoa ki te aroha ki a Ihowa, ki t o koutou Atua.
4 Ye shall walk after Jehovah your God, and ye shall fear him, and his commandments shall ye keep, and his voice shall ye hear; and ye shall serve him, and unto him shall ye cleave.
Me haere koutou i muri i a Ihowa, i to koutou Atua, ko ia ta koutou e wehi ai, me pupuri ana whakahau, me whakarongo hoki ki tona reo, me mahi ano ki a ia, me awhi ki a ia.
5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; for he hath spoken revolt against Jehovah your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, — to draw thee out of the way that Jehovah thy God commanded thee to walk in; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst.
A ko taua poropiti, ko taua tangata moemoea ranei, me whakamate; mona i takahi i a Ihowa, i to koutou Atua, i tangohia mai ai koutou i te whenua o Ihipa, i hokona ai koe i roto i te whare pononga, kia takina koe ki wahi ke i te huarahi i whakahau ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, ki a koe kia haerea. Penei ka whakakorea e koe te kino i roto i a koe.
6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, who is to thee as thy soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods (whom thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
Ki te whakawaia pukutia koe e tou teina, e te tama ranei a tou whaea, e tau tama ranei, e tau tamahine ranei, e tou hoa wahine ranei i tou uma, e tou hoa ranei e rite ana ki tou ngakau, ki te mea ia, Tatou ka haere, ka mahi ki nga atua ke, kihai nei koe i mohio, a koe, ou matua ranei;
7 of the gods of the peoples which are round about you, near unto thee, or far from thee, from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth),
Ki etahi o nga atua o nga iwi i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha, e tata ana ki a koe, kei tawhiti atu ranei i a koe, i tetahi pito o te whenua puta noa ki tetahi pito o te whenua;
8 thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye spare him, neither shalt thou pity him, neither shalt thou screen him,
Kei whakaae koe ki a ia, kei whakarongo ranei ki a ia; kaua ano hoki tou kanohi e aroha ki a ia, kaua e tohu i a ia, kaua hoki e huna i a ia:
9 but thou shalt in any case kill him: thy hand shall be the first against him to put him to death, and afterwards the hands of all the people;
Engari patua rawatia kia mate; ko tou ringa te pa wawe atu ki a ia hei whakamate i a ia, muri iho ko te ringa o te iwi katoa.
10 and thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; for he hath sought to draw thee away from Jehovah thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
A me aki ia e koe ki te kohatu, kia mate; mona i whai kia whakapeautia koe i a Ihowa, i tou Atua, i tangohia mai ai koe i te whenua o Ihipa, i te whare pononga.
11 and all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wicked thing as this in thy midst.
A ka rongo a Iharaira katoa, ka wehi, e kore hoki e mahi i te mea kino pena i tena i roto i a koutou i muri iho.
12 If in one of thy cities, which Jehovah thy God hath given thee to dwell there, thou hearest, saying,
Ki te rongo korero koe mo tetahi o ou pa, e homai e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe hei nohoanga, e korerotia ana,
13 There are men, children of Belial, gone out from among you, and they have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, whom ye have not known;
Kua haere atu etahi, he tama na Periara, i roto i a koe, kua whakapeau ke hoki i nga tangata o to ratou pa, kua mea, Tatou ka haere, ka mahi atu ki nga atua ke, kihai nei i mohiotia e koutou;
14 then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and if it be truth, [and] the thing be certain, that this abomination hath happened in the midst of thee,
Na me rapu e koe, me ore atu, me te ui marie ano; na, ki te mea he pono, he tuturu rawa te korero, kei te mahia tena mea whakarihariha i roto i a koe;
15 thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, devoting it to destruction, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.
Tukitukia rawatia nga tangata o taua pa ki te mata o te hoari, whakamotitia rawatia a reira, me nga mea katoa i roto, me ana kararehe, ki te mata o te hoari.
16 And all the spoil of it shalt thou gather into the midst of the open place thereof, and shalt burn the city with fire, and all the spoil thereof, wholly to Jehovah thy God; and it shall be a heap for ever; it shall not be built again.
Ko nga taonga katoa hoki o reira me hoki ki waenganui o tona huarahi, ka tahu ai koe i te pa, me ona taonga katoa, ki te ahi, a rupeke noa, hei mea ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua: me waiho hoki a reira hei puranga mo ake tonu atu; kaua e hanga a muri a ke nei.
17 And thou shalt not let anything cleave to thy hand of the devoted thing; that Jehovah may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;
Kei piri hoki ki tou ringa tetahi wahi o te mea kua oti nei te kanga: kia tahuri mai ai a Ihowa i te muranga o tona riri, ka whakaputa mai he atawhai ki a koe, kia atawhai ai hoki ia i a koe, kia whakanui ai i a koe, kia rite ai ki tana i oati a i ki ou matua;
18 when thou hearkenest to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, that thou mayest do what is right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.
Ina whakarongo koe ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ina pupuri i ana whakahau katoa, e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koe i tenei ra, kia mahi i te mea e tika ana ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tou Atua.
