Deuteronomy 27

1 Moses and the Israelite elders of Israel gave these instructions to the people: Keep all the commandments I am giving you today.

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 The day you cross the Jordan into the country the Lord your God is giving you, set up some large stones and paint them with whitewash.

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 Then write all these laws on them once you've crossed over to enter the country that the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your forefathers, promised you.

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 After you've crossed the Jordan, you are to set up these stones on Mount Ebal, having painted them with whitewash, as I've ordered you to do today.

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 Also build a stone altar there to the Lord your God, an altar of stones. Don't use any stone tools in its construction.

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 Build the altar of the Lord your God with uncut stones and sacrifice burnt offerings 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 That is also where you are to sacrifice and eat your peace offerings, celebrating in the presence 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 Write all these laws clearly on the stones.

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

9 Moses and the Levitical priests gave these orders to all the Israelites: “Be quiet, people of Israel, and listen! 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 So obey what the Lord your God tells you, and follow commandments and regulations that I'm giving you today.”

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 That day Moses gave these orders to the people:

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

12 After you've crossed the Jordan, the following tribes are to stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: 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 The following tribes are to stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, 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 Then the Levites will shout in a loud voice so Israelite can hear:

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

15 “A curse on anyone who makes a carved image or a metal idol and worships it in secret. It's only an object that someone made, and it's offensive to the Lord!” Everyone says “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.

16 “A curse on anyone who dishonors their father or mother.” Everyone says “Amen!”

Ke malaʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai fakaʻapaʻapa ki heʻene tamai pe ki heʻene faʻē. Pea ʻe lea pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.

17 “A curse on anyone who moves their neighbor's boundary stone!” Everyone says “Amen!”

18 “A curse on anyone who allows a blind man to wander in the road!” Everyone says “Amen!”

Ke malaʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku ne fakahēʻi ʻae kui mei he hala. Pea ʻe lea pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.

19 “A curse on anyone who doesn't treat foreigners, the orphans, and widows fairly!” Everyone says “Amen!”

Ke malaʻia ia ʻoku ne fakahalaʻi ʻae fakamaauʻi ʻoe muli, mo e tamai mate, mo e uitou. Pea ʻe lea pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.

20 “A curse on any man who sleeps with his father's wife, for he has disgraced his father!” Everyone says “Amen!”

Ke malaʻia ia ʻoku mohe mo e uaifi ʻo ʻene tamai; he ʻoku ne fakatelefua ʻene tamai. Pea ʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.

21 “A curse on anyone who has sex with any animal!” Everyone says “Amen!”

Ke malaʻia ia ʻoku mohe mo ha manu. Pea ʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.

22 “A curse on any man who sleeps with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother!” Everyone says “Amen!”

Ke malaʻia ia ʻoku mohe mo hono tuofefine, ko e ʻofefine ʻa ʻene tamai, pe ko e tama ʻa ʻene faʻē. Pea ʻe lea pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.

23 “A curse on any man who sleeps with his mother-in-law!” Everyone says “Amen!”

Ke malaʻia ia ʻoku mohe mo ʻene faʻē ʻi he fono. Pea ʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.

24 “A curse on anyone who secretly attacks his neighbor!” Everyone says “Amen!”

Ke malaʻia ia ʻoku ne taaʻi fakalilolilo ʻa hono kaungāʻapi. Pea ʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.

25 “A curse on anyone who accepts a bribe to kill someone who's innocent!” Everyone says “Amen!”

Ke malaʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku ne toʻo ʻae totongi ke tāmateʻi ʻae tokotaha ʻoku angatonu. Pea ʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.

26 “A curse on anyone who doesn't carefully obey all these laws by keeping them!” Everyone says “Amen!”

Ke malaʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te ne fakamoʻoni ʻae lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni ke fai ki ai. Pea ʻe lea pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.
