Deuteronomy 30

1 One day after you experience all this, the blessings and curses I've told you about, you'll think about them, living in all the different nations where the Lord your God has exiled 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 When that happens, and when you and your children come back to the Lord your God, and when you do what he says with all your mind and all your being in accordance with everything I'm telling you today, then the Lord your God will be merciful to you.

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 He will bring you back home, gathering you from all the nations where he scattered you.

‌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 were exiled to the ends of the earth, will gather you from there and bring you back.

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 The Lord your God will bring you home to the country that belonged to your forefathers and you will own it again. He will make you successful, and you will have even more descendants than your forefathers.

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 make you and your descendants his again, and you will love him with all your mind and with all your being, so that you'll 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 Then the Lord your God will place all these curses upon your enemies instead, on 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 You will once again do what the Lord tells you and follow all his commandments that I'm giving you today.

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 The Lord your God will make you successful in everything you do, you will have children, your livestock will be productive, and you will have good harvests. The Lord will once again be happy to do you good, as he did to your forefathers,

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 if you obey the Lord your God by keeping his commandments and regulations written in this book of the Law, and if you come back to him with all your mind and with all your being.

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 The instruction I'm giving you today isn't too difficult for you to follow. It's not as if it's so far from you that it's impossible to achieve.

“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 It's not in heaven so you have to ask, “Who is going to go up to heaven get it for us and let us know what it says so we can obey it?”

‌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 It's not across the ocean not beyond the sea so you have to ask, “Who is going to cross the ocean to get it for us and let us know what it says so we can obey it?”

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 No—you have this instruction is right there with you. It's in your mouth and in your mind so you can obey it.

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

15 Listen! Today I've placed a choice before you: life and what's good, or death and what's evil.

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

16 I'm telling you today to love the Lord your God, to follow his ways, and to keep his commandments, rules, and regulations, so you can live and grow in number, and so the Lord your God may bless you in the country that you are entering and will own.

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 If you disregard this and you refuse to listen, if you're lured into bowing down to other gods and worshiping 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 warn you right now that you will definitely die. You won't live long in the country that you're going to own after you cross the Jordan.

‌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 on heaven and earth to be my witnesses against you today that I have placed before you life and death, blessings and curses. Choose life, so you and your descendants will 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 so you will love the Lord your God, obey him, and hold onto him. For he is your life, and he will give you long lives in the country that the Lord promised to give your forefathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

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.”
