Deuteronomy 9
1 Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
Whakarongo, e Iharaira: ko a tenei ra koe whiti ai i Horano, a ka tae, ka riro i a koe nga iwi nunui ake, kaha ake i a koe, nga pa nunui hoki, he mea taiepa a tutuki noa ki te rangi,
2 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
He iwi nunui, he iwi roroa, ko nga tama a te Anakimi, e mohio na koe, kua rongo na koe i te pepeha mo ratou, Ko wai e tu ki te aroaro o nga tama a Anaka?
3 Understand therefore this day, that Yhwh thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as Yhwh hath said unto thee.
Na kia mohio koe i tenei ra, ko Ihowa, ko tou Atua, ko ia kei tou aroaro e haere ana ano he ahi e kai ana; mana ratou e huna, mana hoki e whakamate to ratou tara ki tou aroaro: a ka peia ratou e koe, ka meinga kia hohoro to ratou ngaro, ka rite k i ta Ihowa i korero ai ki a koe.
4 Speak not thou in thine heart, after that Yhwh thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness Yhwh hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations Yhwh doth drive them out from before thee.
Kei korero koe i roto i tou ngakau, ua pei a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a ratou i tou raorao, kei mea, He tika noku i kawe mai ai a Ihowa i ahau ki te tango i tenei whenua; kahore, no te kino o enei iwi i pei ai a Ihowa i a ratou i tou aroaro.
5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations Yhwh thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which Yhwh sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Ehara i te tika nou, i te tapatahi ranei o tou ngakau, i haere ai koe ki te tango i to ratou whenua; engari he kino no enei iwi i pei ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a ratou i tou aroaro, he mea hoki kia mana ai te kupu i oati ai a Ihowa ki ou matua, ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa.
6 Understand therefore, that Yhwh thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.
Ina, kia mohio koe, ehara i te tika nou e hoatu nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, tenei whenua pai ki a koe, kia tangohia e koe; no te mea he iwi kaki maro koe.
7 Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst Yhwh thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against Yhwh.
Kia mahara, kei wareware ki au whakataritari ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i te koraha: no te ra iho ano i haere mai ai koe i te whenua o Ihipa, a tae noa mai koutou ki tenei wahi, e tutu ana koutou ki a Ihowa.
8 Also in Horeb ye provoked Yhwh to wrath, so that Yhwh was angry with you to have destroyed you.
I Horepa ano hoki, i whakapataritari koutou ki a Ihowa kia riri, a riri ana a Ihowa ki a koutou, mea ana kia huna koutou.
9 When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which Yhwh made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:
I toku pikinga ki te maunga, ki te tiki i nga papa kohatu, i nga papa o te kawenata i whakaritea e Ihowa ki a koutou, na ka noho ahau i te maunga, e wha tekau nga ra, e wha tekau nga po; kahore ahau i kai taro, kahore i inu wai.
10 And Yhwh delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which Yhwh spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
A homai ana e Ihowa ki ahau nga papa kohatu e rua, he mea tuhituhi na te ringa o te Atua; a i reira e mau ana, he mea tuhituhi, nga kupu katoa i korero ai a Ihowa ki a koutou i te maunga, i waenganui o te ahi, i te ra o te huihuinga.
11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Yhwh gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.
Na wai a ka taka nga ra e wha tekau me nga po e wha tekau, na ka homai e Ihowa ki ahau nga papa kohatu e rua, ara nga papa o te kawenata.
12 And Yhwh said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
A ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, Whakatika, hohoro te heke atu i konei; ko tou iwi hoki i kawea mai nei e koe i Ihipa kua taka ki te he; kua hohoro ratou te peka ke i te huarahi i kiia ai e ahau ki a ratou; kua hanga e ratou he whakapakoko, he mea whak arewa mo ratou.
13 Furthermore Yhwh spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
I korero mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea, Kua kite ahau i tenei iwi, nana, he iwi kaki maro ratou:
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
Tukua ahau ki te huna i a ratou, ki te horoi atu hoki i to ratou ingoa i raro i te rangi: a maku koe e mea hei iwi kaha ake, hei iwi nui ake i a ratou.
15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
Heoi tahuri ana ahau, heke iho ana i te maunga, ko te maunga hoki ka tonu i te ahi; a ko nga papa e rua o te kawenata i oku ringa e rua.
16 And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against Yhwh your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which Yhwh had commanded you.
Na, ko taku tirohanga atu, na, kua hara koutou ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua; kua hanga koutou i te kuao kau ma koutou, he mea whakarewa: kua hohoro koutou te peka ke i te huarahi i kiia e Ihowa ki a koutou.
17 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.
Na ka mau ahau ki nga papa e rua, panga atu ana e ahau i roto i oku ringa e rua, a wahia iho aua mea e ahau ki to koutou aroaro.
18 And I fell down before Yhwh, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of Yhwh, to provoke him to anger.
Na takoto ana ahau ki te aroaro o Ihowa, pera ano me te timatanga, e wha tekau nga ra, e wha tekau nga po; kihai ahau i kai taro, kihai i inu wai; mo o koutou hara katoa hoki i hara ai koutou, i mahi ai i te kino ki te aroaro o Ihowa, hei whakap ataritari i a ia.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith Yhwh was wroth against you to destroy you. But Yhwh hearkened unto me at that time also.
I pawera hoki ahau i te riri, i te aritarita, i a Ihowa ra i whakatakariri ai ki a koutou, e mea ana, kia huna koutou. Otiia whakarongo mai ana ano a Ihowa ki ahau i taua wa hoki.
20 And Yhwh was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
A tino kaha te riri o Ihowa ki a Arona, i mea kia whakamatea ia: na ka inoi ano hoki ahau mo Arona i taua wa.
21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.
Na ka tango ahau i to koutou hara, i te kuao kau i hanga e koutou, a tahuna ana e ahau ki te ahi, patokia iho, whakangakungakutia ana kia ririki, ngotangota noa ano he puehu: na panga atu ana e ahau ona ngota ki te awa e rere iho ana i te maunga.
22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth–hattaavah, ye provoked Yhwh to wrath.
A i Tapera, i Maha hoki, i Kipiroto Hataawa i whakapataritari ano koutou ki a Ihowa.
23 Likewise when Yhwh sent you from Kadesh–barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of Yhwh your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
Na, i te tononga a Ihowa i a koutou i Kareheparenea, i tana meatanga mai, Haere ki runga, tangohia te whenua i hoatu e ahau ki a koutou; na ka tutu koutou ki te kupu a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, kihai ano i whakapono ki a ia, kihai i whakarongo ki tona reo.
24 Ye have been rebellious against Yhwh from the day that I knew you.
He tutu tonu ta koutou ki a Ihowa mai o te ra i mohio ai ahau ki a koutou.
25 Thus I fell down before Yhwh forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because Yhwh had said he would destroy you.
Na takoto ana ahau i te aroaro o Ihowa i nga ra e wha tekau, i nga po e wha tekau, i takoto ai ahau; mo te meatanga mai a Ihowa kia whakangaromia koutou.
26 I prayed therefore unto Yhwh, and said, O Lord Yhwh, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
A ka inoi ahau ki a Ihowa, ka mea, E Ihowa, e te Atua, kaua e whakangaromia tau iwi, tau taonga tupu, i hokona nei e koe i runga i tou nui, i whakaputaina mai nei e koe i Ihipa ki te ringa kaha.
27 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
Kia mahara ki au pononga, ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa; kaua e titiro mai ki te pakeke o tenei iwi, ki to ratou kino, ki to ratou hara:
28 Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, because Yhwh was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.
Kei mea te whenua i whakaputaina mai nei matou e koe i reira, He kore kihai a Ihowa i kaha ki te kawe i a ratou ki te whenua i korero ai ia ki a ratou, he kino hoki nona ki a ratou, i kawea ai ratou e ia kia whakamatea ki te koraha.
29 Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.
Otira ko tau iwi ano ratou, ko tau taonga tupu hoki, i whakaputaina mai nei e koe i runga i tou kaha nui, i tou takakau maro hoki.
