Deuteronomy 11

1 Therefore thou shalt loue the Lord thy God, and shalt keepe that, which he commandeth to be kept: that is, his ordinances, and his lawes, and his commandements alway.

Ko ia ke ke “ʻOfa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea tauhi maʻuaipē ʻene pule, mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamaau, mo ʻene ngaahi fekau.

2 And consider this day (for I speake not to your children, which haue neither knowen nor seene) the chastisement of the Lord your God, his greatnesse, his mighty hande, and his stretched out arme,

Pea ke mou ʻilo he ʻaho ni: he ʻoku ʻikai te u lea pe ki hoʻomou fānau ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ke ʻilo, pe mamata ki he tautea meia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ko ʻene māfimafi, mo hono nima mālohi, mo hono nima kuo mafao atu,

3 And his signes, and his actes, which hee did in the middes of Egypt vnto Pharaoh the King of Egypt and vnto all his land:

Mo ʻene ngaahi mana, mo ʻene ngaahi ngāue, ʻaia naʻa ne fai ʻi loto ʻIsipite, kia Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea ki hono fonua kotoa pē;

4 And what he did vnto the hoste of the Egyptians, vnto their horses, and to their charets, when he caused the waters of the red Sea to ouerflowe them, as they pursued after you, and the Lord destroied them vnto this day:

Pea mo ia naʻa ne fai ki he kautau ʻo ʻIsipite, ki heʻenau fanga hoosi, pea ki heʻenau ngaahi saliote; ʻa ʻene ngaohi ʻae vai ʻoe Tahi Kulokula ke lōmakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻenau tuli ʻakimoutolu, pea mo e fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni;

5 And what he did vnto you in the wildernesse, vntill yee came vnto this place:

Mo ia naʻa ne fai kiate kimoutolu ʻi he toafa ʻo aʻu ki hoʻomou hoko ki he potu ni;

6 And what he did vnto Dathan and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab ye sonne of Reuben, when the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them with their housholds and their tents, and all their substance that they had in the middes of al Israel.

Pea mo ia naʻa ne fai kia Tatani mo ʻEpilami, ko e ongo foha ʻo ʻIliapi, ko e foha ʻo Lupeni: ʻi he mafaʻa ʻe he kelekele hono ngutu, ʻo ne folo hifo ʻakinaua, mo hona kakai, mo hona ngaahi fale fehikitaki, mo e meʻa moʻui kotoa pē naʻa na maʻu, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ʻIsileli kotoa pē:

7 For your eyes haue seene all the great actes of the Lord which he did.

Ka kuo mamata ʻe homou mata ki he ngaahi ngāue lahi kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne fai.

8 Therefore shall ye keepe all the commandements, which I commaund you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possesse the land whither ye goe to possesse it:

Ko ia ke mou tauhi ai ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻoku ou fekau ai kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻaho ni, koeʻuhi ke mou mālohi, pea ʻalu atu ʻo maʻu ʻae fonua, ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻalu ke nofo ai;

9 Also that ye may prolong your daies in the land, which the Lord sware vnto your fathers, to giue vnto them and to their seede, euen a lande that floweth with milke and honie.

Pea koeʻuhi ke mou fakatolonga ai homou ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he fonua, ʻaia naʻe fuakava ai ʻa Sihova ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ke foaki kiate kinautolu mo honau hako, ko e fonua ʻoku mahutafea ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi.

10 For the land whither thou goest to possesse it, is not as the lande of Egypt, from whence ye came, where thou sowedst thy seede, and wateredst it with thy feete as a garden of herbes:

“Ka ko e fonua, ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻalu ke maʻu ia, ʻoku ʻikai tatau mo e fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻa mou haʻu mei ai, ʻaia naʻa ke tūtuuʻi ai hoʻo tengaʻi ʻakau, pea fakaviviku ʻaki ia ho vaʻe, ʻo hangē ha ngoue ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau kai:

11 But the land whither ye goe to possesse it, is a land of mountaines and valleis, and drinketh water of the raine of heauen.

Ka ko e fonua, ʻoku mou ʻalu ai ke mou maʻu, ko e fonua moʻungaʻia mo tokalelei, pea ʻoku ne inu vai ʻi he ʻuha mei he langi:

12 This land doth the Lord thy God care for: the eies of the Lord thy God are alwaies vpon it, from the beginning of the yeere, euen vnto the ende of the yeere.

Ko e fonua ʻoku tokangaʻi ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ko e fofonga ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻoku ʻafio maʻu ki ai, mei he kamataʻanga ʻoe taʻu ki hono ngataʻanga ʻoe taʻu.

13 If yee shall hearken therefore vnto my commandements, which I commaund you this day, that yee loue the Lord your God and serue him with all your heart, and with all your soule,

“Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, kapau te mou faʻa tokanga ki heʻeku ngaahi fekau ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau ai kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻaho ni, ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, pea ke tauhi ʻaki ia homou loto kotoa mo homou laumālie kotoa,

14 I also wil giue raine vnto your land in due time, the first raine and the latter, that thou maist gather in thy wheat, and thy wine, and thine oyle.

Te u tuku ai kiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻuha ʻo homou fonua ʻi hono faʻahitaʻu totonu, ʻae ʻuha muʻa mo e ʻuha mui, koeʻuhi ke ke tānaki hoʻo uite, mo hoʻo uaine, mo hoʻo lolo.

15 Also I will send grasse in thy fieldes, for thy cattel, that thou maist eate, and haue inough.

Pea te u ʻatu ʻae mohuku ki he fonua ki hoʻo fanga manu, koeʻuhi ke ke kai pea ke mākona.

16 But beware lest your heart deceiue you, and lest yee turne aside, and serue other gods, and worship them,

Vakai kiate kimoutolu naʻa kākāʻia homou loto, pea mou tafoki, pea tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, pea lotu kiate kinautolu;

17 And so the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and he shut vp the heauen, that there be no raine, and that your lande yeelde not her fruit, and yee perish quickly from the good land, which the Lord giueth you.

Pea tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova kiate kimoutolu, pea tāpuni ai ʻae langi, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻuha, pea ke ʻoua naʻa tupu ʻi he fonua hono ngaahi fua; pea mou ʻauha vave mei he fonua lelei ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu.

18 Therefore shall ye lay vp these my words in your heart and in your soule, and binde them for a signe vpon your hand, that they may be as a frontlet betweene your eyes,

“Ko ia ke mou ʻai ʻeku ngaahi lea ni ki homou loto mo homou laumālie, pea nonoʻo ia ki ho nima ko e fakaʻilonga, pea ke ʻiate koe ia ko e pale ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ho mata.

19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them, whe thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp.

Pea ke mou ako ʻaki ia ki hoʻomou fānau, ʻo talanoa ki ai ʻoka ke ka nofo ʻi ho fale, pea ʻoka ke ka ʻeveʻeva ʻi he hala, ʻoka ke ka tokoto hifo, pea ʻoka ke ka tuʻu hake.

20 And thou shalt write them vpon the postes of thine house, and vpon thy gates,

Pea ke ke tohi ia ki he ngaahi pou ʻoe matapā ʻo ho fale, pea ki ho ngaahi matapā.

21 That your daies may be multiplied, and the daies of your children, in ye land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers to giue them, as long as the heauens are aboue the earth.

Koeʻuhi ke fakalahi ai homou ngaahi ʻaho, mo e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻomou fānau, ʻi he fonua ʻaia naʻe fuakava ki ai ʻa Sihova ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ke foaki kiate kinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe langi ki he māmani.

22 For if ye keepe diligently all these commandements, which I command you to doe: that is, to loue the Lord your God, to walke in all his waies, and to cleaue vnto him,

“He kapau te mou hangahanga tauhi ʻae ngaahi fekau ni ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau ai kiate kimoutolu ke fai ki ai, ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ke ʻalu ʻi hono ngaahi hala kotoa pē, pea ke mou pikitai kiate ia;

23 Then will the Lord cast out all these nations before you, and ye shall possesse great nations and mightier then you.

Pehē ʻe toki kapusi ai ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē mei homou ʻao, pea te mou hoko ʻo maʻu ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoku lahi hake pea mālohi lahi ʻiate kimoutolu.

24 All the places whereon the soles of your feete shall tread, shalbe yours: your coast shalbe from the wildernes and from Lebanon, and from the Riuer, euen the riuer Perath, vnto ye vttermost Sea.

Ko e potu kotoa pē ʻe tuʻu ki ai homou ʻaofivaʻe ʻe ʻomoutolu ia: mei he toafa mo Lepanoni, mei he vaitafe, ʻae vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi, ʻio, ʻo aʻu atu ki he tahi mamaʻo ko homou potu ia.

25 No man shall stande against you: for the Lord your God shall cast the feare and dread of you vpon all the land that ye shall treade vpon, as he hath said vnto you.

‌ʻE ʻikai ha tangata ʻe faʻa tuʻu ʻi homou ʻao; koeʻuhi ʻe tuku ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ʻae manavahē kiate kimoutolu mo e lilika kiate kimoutolu ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻaia te mou hoko ʻo tuʻu ki ai, ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola kiate kimoutolu.

26 Beholde, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:

“Vakai, ʻoku ou tuku ʻi homou ʻao he ʻaho ni ʻae monūʻia mo e malaʻia;

27 The blessing, if ye obey the commandements of the Lord your God which I command you this day:

Ko e monūʻia, ʻo kapau te mou talangofua ki he ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni:

28 And ye curse, if ye wil not obey the commandements of the Lord your God, but turne out of the way, which I commande you this day, to go after other gods, which ye haue not knowen.

Pea ko e malaʻia, ʻokapau ʻe ʻikai te mou talangofua ki he ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ka mou tafoki ʻo afe mei he hala ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni, ke ʻalu ʻo muimui ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te mou ʻilo.

29 When the Lord thy God therefore hath brought thee into ye lande, whither thou goest to possesse it, then thou shalt put the blessing vpon mount Gerizim, and the curse vpon mount Ebal.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai ke maʻu ia, te ke ʻai ʻae monūʻia ki he moʻunga ko Kelisimi, mo e malaʻia ki he moʻunga ko Ipale.

30 Are they not beyond Iorden on that part, where the sunne goeth downe in the land of the Canaanites, which dwel in the plaine ouer against Gilgal, beside the groue of Moreh?

‌ʻIkai ʻoku na ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, ʻi he hala ʻaia ʻoku ʻalu hifo ai ʻae laʻā, ʻi he fonua ʻoe kakai Kēnani, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi he toafa ʻo hangatonu atu ki Kilikali, ʻo ofi ki he ngaahi tafangafanga ʻo Mole?

31 For yee shall passe ouer Iorden, to goe in to possesse the land, which ye Lord your God giueth you, and ye shall possesse it, and dwell therein.

He te mou hoko atu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani ke ʻalu atu ʻo maʻu ʻae fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou maʻu ia, pea nofo ki ai.

32 Take heede therefore that ye doe all the commandements and the lawes, which I set before you this day.

Pea ke mou tokanga ʻo fai ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo e ngaahi fakamaau ʻaia ʻoku ou fokotuʻu ʻi homou ʻao he ʻaho ni.
