< Deuteronomy 11 >
1 Therefore you shall love the LORD your God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, always.
Na reira me aroha koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kia mau ki tana ako, ki ana tikanga, ki tana i whakarite ai, me ana whakahau, i nga ra katoa.
2 And know all of you this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,
Kia mohio hoki koutou i tenei ra: kahore ano ia ahau e korero ana ki a koutou tamariki, kahore hoki ratou i mohio, kahore ano hoki i kite i te whakawhiu a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, i tona nui, i tona ringa kaha, i tona takakau i maro ra,
3 And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
I ana merekara hoki, i ana mahi i meatia e ia i waenganui o Ihipa ki a Parao kingi o Ihipa, ki tona whenua katoa hoki;
4 And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD has destroyed them unto this day;
I tana hoki i mea ai ki te ope o Ihipa, ki o ratou hoiho, ki a ratou hariata; i a ia i mea ra i nga wai o te Moana Whero kia huri ki runga ki a ratou i to ratou whainga mai i a koutou, a huna iho ratou e Ihowa a mohoa noa nei;
5 And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until all of you came into this place;
I nga mea hoki i mea ai ia ki a koutou i te koraha, a tae noa mai koutou ki tenei wahi;
6 And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:
I tana hoki i mea ai ki a Ratana raua ko Apirama, ki nga tama a Eriapa tama a Reupena; i te kowheratanga ake o te mangai o te whenua, a horomia ana ratou, me nga tangata o o ratou whare, me o ratou teneti hoki, me a ratou mea ora katoa, i waengan ui i a Iharaira katoa:
7 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did.
Ko o koutou kanohi ia kua kite i nga mahi nunui katoa a Ihowa i mahi ai ia.
8 Therefore shall all of you keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that all of you may be strong, and go in and possess the land, where all of you go to possess it;
Ae ra, kia mau ki nga whakahau katoa e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koe i tenei ra, kia kaha ai koe, kia tae atu ai hoki, kia whiwhi ai ki te whenua e haere atu nei koutou ki reira ki te tango;
9 And that all of you may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD swore unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that flows with milk and honey.
Kia roa ai hoki o koutou ra ki te whenua i oati ai a Ihowa ki ou matua kia hoatu ki a ratou, ki o ratou uri, he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi.
10 For the land, where you go in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence all of you came out, where you sowed your seed, and watered it with your foot, as a garden of herbs:
Ko te whenua hoki e haere atu nei koe ki reira ki te tango, ehara i te pera me te whenua o Ihipa, i mahue atu ra i a koe, e whakato ai koe i tau purapura, e whakamakuku ai hoki ki tou waewae, ano he kari otaota:
11 But the land, where all of you go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinks water of the rain of heaven:
Engari he whenua pukepuke, he whenua raorao te whenua e haere atu nei koutou ki reira ki te tango, e inu ana hoki i te ua o te rangi hei wai;
12 A land which the LORD your God cares for: the eyes of the LORD your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
He whenua e matapoporetia ana e Ihowa, e tou Atua: kei reira tonu nga kanohi o Ihowa, o tou Atua, no te timatanga o te tau taea noatia te mutunga o te tau.
13 And it shall come to pass, if all of you shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
A ki te whakarongo marie koutou ki aku whakahau e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koutou i tenei ra, kia aroha ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, kia whakapaua o koutou ngakau, o koutou wairua ki te mahi ki a ia,
14 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your corn, and your wine, and your oil.
Na ka hoatu e ahau te ua mo to koutou whenua i tona po ano, te ua mataati me te ua o muri, a ka kohikohi koe i tau witi, i tau waina, i tau hinu.
15 And I will send grass in your fields for your cattle, that you may eat and be full.
A ka hoatu e ahau te tarutaru ki ou parae, ma au kararehe, a ka kai koe, ka makona.
16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and all of you turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
Kia mahara ki a koutou, kei mamingatia o koutou ngakau, kei peka ke koutou, kei mahi ki nga atua ke, kei koropiko ki a ratou;
17 And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest all of you perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD gives you.
A ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a koutou, a ka tutakina e ia te rangi, e kore ake ai te ua, e kore ai hoki e tukua mai e te whenua ona hua; na ka hohoro koutou te mate atu i te whenua pai ka homai nei e Ihowa ki a koutou.
18 Therefore shall all of you lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
Engari rongoatia enei kupu aku ki roto ki o koutou ngakau, ki o koutou wairua; herea hoki hei tohu ki o koutou ringa, hei pare ano ki waenganui i o koutou kanohi.
19 And all of you shall teach them your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.
Whakaakona atu hoki ki a koutou tamariki, korerotia ina noho i tou whare, ina haere koe i te huarahi, ina takoto, ina whakatika ranei.
20 And you shall write them upon the door posts of your house, and upon your gates:
Tuhituhia ano hoki ki nga pou tatau o tou whare, ki ou tatau hoki;
21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
Kia tini ai ou ra, me nga ra o a koutou tamariki ki te whenua i oati ai a Ihowa ki ou matua kia hoatu ki a ratou, kia rite ai ki nga ra o te rangi i runga i te whenua.
22 For if all of you shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;
Ki te ata pupuri hoki koutou i enei whakahau katoa e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koutou kia mahia; ki te aroha ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, ki te haere hoki i ana huarahi, ki te awhi ki a ia;
23 Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and all of you shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.
Na ka peia atu e Ihowa enei iwi katoa i to koutou aroaro, a ka riro i a koutou nga iwi he nui ake, he kaha ake i a koutou.
24 Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.
Mo koutou nga wahi katoa e takahia e te kapu o o koutou waewae: kei te koraha, ke Repanona hoki, kei te awa, kei Uparati, a tae noa ki te moana ki te hauauru, nga rohe ki a koutou.
25 There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that all of you shall tread upon, as he has said unto you.
E kore e tu te tangata ki to koutou aroaro: ka whakapangia hoki e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, to koutou wehi, me to koutou tuiri ki te mata katoa o te whenua e takahia e koutou, ka rite ki tana i korero ai ki a koutou.
26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
Nana, ka hoatu e ahau ki to koutou aroaro i tenei ra te manaaki me te kanga:
27 A blessing, if all of you obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:
Te manaaki, ki te rongo koutou ki nga whakahau a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koutou i tenei ra;
28 And a curse, if all of you will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which all of you have not known.
Te kanga hoki, ki te kahore koutou e rongo ki nga whakahau a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, a ka peka ke i te huarahi e kiia atu nei e ahau ki a koutou i tenei ra, ki te whai ki nga atua ke, kihai nei i mohiotia e koutou.
29 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD your God has brought you in unto the land where you go to possess it, that you shall put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.
A tenei ake, a te wa e kawea ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki te whenua, ka haere atu nei koe ki reira ki te tango, na me hoatu e koe te manaaki ki runga ki Maunga Keritimi me te kanga ki runga ki Maunga Epara.
30 Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goes down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign opposite to Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?
Kahore ianei ena i tawahi o Horano, i te taha o te huarahi e to ai te ra, i te whenua o nga Kanaani e noho ana i te Arapaha i te ritenga atu o Kirikara, i te taha o nga oki i More?
31 For all of you shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God gives you, and all of you shall possess it, and dwell therein.
Ka whiti atu hoki koutou i Horano, ka haere ki te tango i te whenua e homai ana e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, ki a koutou, a ka riro a reira i a koutou, a ka noho koutou ki reira.
32 And all of you shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.
Na kia mahara ki te mahi i nga tikanga katoa, i nga whakaritenga e hoatu nei e ahau ki to koutou aroaro i tenei ra.
