Deuteronomy 26
1 And when thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God will give thee to possess, and hast conquered it, and dwellest in it:
A tenei ake, a te wa e tae ai koe ki te whenua e homai e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe hei kainga tuturu, a ka riro a reira i a koe, a ka noho koe ki reira;
2 Thou shalt take the first of all thy fruits, and put then? in a basket, and shalt go to the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may be invocated there:
Na ka tango koe i etahi o nga mea matamua o nga hua katoa o te whenua, e mauria mai e koe i tou oneone, ka homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe; a me whawhao e koe ki te kete, ka haere ai ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, kia waiho tona ingoa ki reira.
3 And thou shalt go to the priest that shall be in those days, and say to him: I profess this day before the Lord thy God, that I am come into the land, for which he swore to our fathers, that he would give it us.
Na ka haere koe ki te tohunga e minita ana i aua ra, ka mea ki a ia, Tenei ahau te korero nui nei i tenei ra ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kua tae mai ahau ki te whenua i oati ai a Ihowa ki o tatou matua kia homai ki a tatou.
4 And the priest taking the basket at thy hand, shall set it before the altar of the Lord thy God:
Na ka tango te tohunga i te kete i tou ringa, ka whakatakoto hoki ki mau o te aata a Ihowa, a tou Atua.
5 And thou shalt speak thus in the sight of the Lord thy God: The Syrian pursued my father, who went down into Egypt, and sojourned there in a very small number, and grew into a nation great and strong and of an infinite multitude.
Ko reira koe oho atu ai, mea ai ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, Ko toku matua he Hiriani, i ora noa i te mate; a haere ana ia ki raro, ki Ihipa, a noho ana i reira, he hunga torutoru; na meinga ana ia hei iwi nui i reira, he kaha, he tini:
6 And the Egyptians afflicted us, and persecuted us, laying on us most grievous burdens:
Na tukinotia ana matou e nga Ihipiana, whakawhiua ana matou, a he kino ta ratou whakamahinga i a matou:
7 And we cried to the Lord God of our fathers: who heard us, and looked down upon our affliction, and labour, and distress:
A ka tangi matou ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o o matou matua, na whakarongo mai ana a Ihowa ki to matou reo, titiro mai ana ki to matou whakawhiunga, ki to matou whakamahinga, ki to matou tukinotanga:
8 And brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand, and a stretched out arm, with great terror, with signs and wonders:
Na whakaputaina mai ana matou e Ihowa i Ihipa ki te ringa kaha, ki te takakau maro tonu, me te whakamataku nui, me nga tohu, me nga merekara:
9 And brought us into this place, and gave us this land flowing with milk and honey.
A kawea mai ana matou e ia ki tenei wahi, a homai ana ki a matou tenei whenua, he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi.
10 And therefore now I offer the firstfruits of the land which the Lord hath given me. And thou shalt leave them in the sight of the ford thy God, adoring the Lord thy God.
Na, titiro, kau kawea mai nei e ahau nga hua matamua o te whenua i homai nei e koe, e Ihowa, ki ahau. Katahi koe ka whakatakoto atu ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, me te koropiko ano ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua:
11 And thou shalt feast in all the good things which the Lord thy God hath given thee, and thy house, thou and the Levite, and the stranger that is with thee.
Ka koa hoki ki nga mea pai katoa i homai e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koutou ko tou whare, a koe, me te Riwaiti me te manene i roto i a koe.
12 When thou hast made an end of tithing all thy fruits, in the third year of tithes thou shalt give it to the Levite, and to the stranger, and to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled:
Ka pae nga whakatekau katoa o au hua i te toru o nga tau, i te tau whakatekau, me hoatu e koe ki te Riwaiti, ki te manene, ki te pani, ki te pouaru, kia kainga i roto i ou kuwaha, a ka makona;
13 And thou shalt speak thus in the sight of the Lord thy God: I have taken that which was sanctified out of my house, and I have given it to the Levite, and to the stranger, and to the fatherless, and to the widow, as thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments nor forgotten thy precepts.
A ka mea koe ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua Kua poto mai i ahau i roto i toku whare nga mea tapu, kua hoatu ano e ahau ki te Riwaiti, ki te manene, ki te pani, ki te pouaru, kua rite i ahau au whakahau katoa i whakahau ai koe ki ahau; kahore a hau i whakapaheke i tetahi o au whakahau, kahore ano i wareware:
14 I have not eaten of them is my mourning, nor separated them for any uncleanness, nor spent any thing of them in funerals. I have obeyed the voice of the Lord my God, and have done all things as thou hast commanded me.
Kihai i kainga e ahau tetahi wahi i ahau e noho taua ana; kihai i tangohia e ahau tetahi wahi mo te poke, kihai ano hoki i hoatu hei mea tupapaku: i whakarongo ahau ki te reo o Ihowa, o toku Atua, rite tonu aku mahi ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua e koe ki ahau.
15 Look from thy sanctuary, and thy high habitation of heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou didst swear to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Titiro iho i tou nohoanga tapu, i te rangi, manaakitia hoki tau iwi, a Iharaira, me te oneone i homai nei e koe ki a matou, pera me tau i oati ai ki o matou matua, he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu e te honi.
16 This day the Lord thy God hath commanded thee to do these commandments and judgments: and to keep and fulfill them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
No tenei ra a Ihowa, tou Atua, i whakahau ai i a koe, kia mahia enei tikanga, me enei whakaritenga: na puritia e koe, mahia, e tou ngakau katoa, e tou wairua katoa.
17 Thou hast chosen the Lord this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways and keep his ceremonies, and precepts, and judgments, and obey his command.
Kua whakaae koe i tenei ra ki a Ihowa hei Atua mou, kia haere i ana huarahi, kia whakaritea hoki ana tikanga, me ana whakahau, me ana whakaritenga, kia rongo ano hoki ki tona reo:
18 And the Lord hath chosen thee this day, to be his peculiar people, as he hath spoken to thee, and to keep all his commandments:
A kua whakaae hoki a Ihowa ki a koe i tenei ra hei iwi mana, motuhake rawa, hei pera me tana i korero ai ki a koe, hei pupuri hoki i ana whakahau katoa;
19 And to make thee higher than all nations which he hath created, to his own praise, and name, and glory: that thou mayst be a holy people of the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken.
Hei mea kia teitei ake koe i nga iwi katoa i hanga e ia, te whakamoemiti, te ingoa, te kororia; kia waiho hoki koe hei iwi tapu ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua, hei pera me tana i korero ai.
