Deuteronomy 6

1 These now are the commandements, ordinances, and lawes, which the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that ye might doe them in the land whither ye go to possesse it:

“Ko e ngaahi fekau eni, mo e tuʻutuʻuni, mo e ngaahi fakamaau, ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ke ako ʻaki kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke mou fai ki ai ʻi he fonua ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻalu ki ai ke maʻu:

2 That thou mightest feare the Lord thy God, and keepe all his ordinances, and his commandements which I commaund thee, thou, and thy sonne, and thy sonnes sonne all the dayes of thy life, euen that thy dayes may be prolonged.

Koeʻuhi ke ke manavahē kia Sihova, ko ho ʻOtua, ke tauhi ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni kotoa pē, mo ʻene ngaahi fekau, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau ai kiate koe, ʻa koe, mo ho foha, mo e foha ʻo ho foha, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo moʻui; pea koeʻuhi ke fakatolonga ai ho ngaahi ʻaho.

3 Heare therefore, O Israel, and take heede to doe it, that it may go well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily in the land that floweth with milke and hony, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee.

Ko ia ke ke fanongo, ʻE ʻIsileli, pea tokanga ke fai ki ai: koeʻuhi ke hoko ai ʻae lelei kiate koe, pea ke mou tupu ʻo tokolahi ʻaupito, ʻo hangē ko e talaʻofa kiate koe meia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamai, ʻi he fonua ʻoku mahutafea ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi.

4 Heare, O Israel, The Lord our God is Lord onely,

Fanongo, ʻE ʻIsileli: Ko Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ko Sihova tafataha pe ia,

5 And thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy might.

Pea te ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ho loto kotoa, mo hoʻo moʻui kotoa, mo ho mālohi kotoa.

6 And these wordes which I commaund thee this day, shalbe in thine heart.

Pea ko e ngaahi lea ni, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni, ʻe ʻi ho loto ia:

7 And thou shalt rehearse them continually vnto thy children, and shalt talke of them when thou tariest in thine house, and as thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp:

Pea te ke faʻa ako ʻaki ia ki hoʻo fānau, pea te ke talanoa ʻaki ia ʻoka ke ka nofo ʻi ho fale, pea ʻoka ke ka ʻalu ʻi he hala, pea ʻoka ke ka tokoto hifo, pea ʻoka ke ka tuʻu hake.

8 And thou shalt binde them for a signe vpon thine hand, and they shalbe as frontlets betweene thine eyes.

Pea te ke nonoʻo ia ki ho nima ko e fakaʻilonga, pea ʻe hoko ia ko e pale ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ho mata.

9 Also thou shalt write them vpon ye postes of thine house, and vpon thy gates.

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

10 And when the Lord thy God hath brought thee into the land, which he sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, to giue to thee, with great and goodly cities which thou buildedst not,

Pea ʻe pehē, ʻoka hili hono ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki he fonua ʻaia naʻa ne fuakava ai ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai, kia ʻEpalahame, kia ʻAisake, pea kia Sēkope, ke foaki kiate koe ʻae ngaahi kolo lahi mo lelei, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke langa,

11 And houses full of all maner of goods which thou filledst not, and welles digged which thou diggedst not, vineyards and oliue trees which thou plantedst not, and when thou hast eaten and art full,

Mo e ngaahi fale kuo fonu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa lelei, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke fakafonu, mo e ngaahi vai keli, naʻe ʻikai te ke keli, ʻae ngaahi ngoue vaine mo e ngaahi ʻolive, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke tō; hili hoʻo kai pea ke mākona;

12 Beware least thou forget the Lord, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

Vakai telia naʻa ke fakangaloʻi ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi koe mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he fale fakapōpula.

13 Thou shalt feare the Lord thy God, and serue him, and shalt sweare by his Name.

Ke ke manavahē kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo tauhi ia, pea ke fuakava ʻi hono huafa.

14 Ye shall not walke after other gods, after any of the gods of the people which are round about you,

‌ʻOua naʻa mou muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kakai ʻaia ʻoku nofo takatakai ʻiate kimoutolu;

15 (For the Lord thy God is a ielous God among you: ) least the wrath of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from the face of the earth.

(He ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ko e ʻOtua fuaʻa ia ʻiate kimoutolu, ) telia naʻa tupu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe, ʻo ne fakaʻauha koe mei he funga ʻo māmani.

16 Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye did tempt him in Massah:

“ʻOua naʻa mou ʻahiʻahi kovi kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko homou ʻahiʻahi kovi ʻi Masa.

17 But ye shall keepe diligently the commandements of the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his ordinances which he hath commanded thee,

Ke mou tauhi manavakavakava ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamoʻoni, mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻaia kuo ne fekau kiate koe.

18 And thou shalt doe that which is right and good in the sight of the Lord: that thou mayest prosper, and that thou mayest go in, and possesse that good land which the Lord sware vnto thy fathers,

Pea te ke fai totonu mo lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: koeʻuhi ke hoko ai ʻae lelei kiate koe, pea koeʻuhi ke ke hoko ʻo maʻu ʻae fonua lelei ʻaia naʻe fuakava ki ai ʻe Sihova ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai,

19 To cast out all thine enemies before thee, as the Lord hath sayd.

Ke kapusi kituaʻā ʻa ho ngaahi fili mei ho ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.

20 When thy sonne shall aske thee in time to come, saying, What meane these testimonies, and ordinances, and Lawes, which the Lord our God hath commanded you?

Pea ka fehuʻi ʻe ho foha kiate koe ʻamui, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi fakamoʻoni ni, mo e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo e ngaahi fakamaau, ʻaia kuo fekau ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu?’

21 Then shalt thou say vnto thy sonne, We were Pharaohs bondmen in Egypt: but the Lord brought vs out of Egypt with a mightie hand.

Te ke toki pehē ki ho foha, ‘Naʻa mau nofo ko e kau pōpula ʻa Felo ʻi ʻIsipite: pea naʻe ʻomi ʻakimautolu ʻe Sihova mei ʻIsipite ʻaki ʻae nima mālohi:

22 And the Lord shewed signes and wonders great and euill vpon Egypt, vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his housholde, before our eyes,

Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga, mo e ngaahi meʻa mana, naʻe lahi mo fakamamahi ki ʻIsipite, pea kia Felo, pea ki hono kakai, ʻi homau ʻao:

23 And brought vs out from thence, to bring vs in, and to giue vs the land which he sware vnto our fathers.

Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakimautolu mei ai, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻomi ʻakimautolu ki heni, ke foaki kiate kimautolu ʻae fonua ʻaia naʻa ne fuakava ki ai ki heʻemau ngaahi tamai.

24 Therefore the Lord hath commanded vs, to doe all these ordinances, and to feare the Lord our God, that it may goe euer well with vs, and that he may preserue vs aliue as at this present.

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ke mau fai ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ni, ke manavahē kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ketau lelei ai maʻuaipē, koeʻuhi ke ne fakatolonga ʻetau moʻui, ʻo hangē ko ia he ʻaho ni.

25 Moreouer, this shall be our righteousnes before the Lord our God, if we take heede to keepe all these commandements, as he hath commanded vs.

Pea ʻe hoko ia ko ʻetau māʻoniʻoni, ʻo kapau te tau tokanga ʻo fai ki he ngaahi fekau ni kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fekau kiate kitautolu.’
