Deuteronomy 31

1 And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel.

A i haere a Mohi, i korero i enei kupu ki a Iharaira katoa.

2 And he said unto them, I [am] an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

I mea ia ki a ratou, Ko toku kaumatua i tenei ra ka kotahi rau e rua tekau nga tau; e kore ahau e ahei ano te kopiko atu, te kopiko mai: kua mea mai hoki a Ihowa ki ahau, E kore koe e whiti i tenei Horano.

3 The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, [and] he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: [and] Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.

Ko Ihowa, ko tou Atua, ko ia e whakawhiti ki mua i a koe; mana e whakangaro atu enei iwi i mua i a koe, a ka riro ratou i a koe: a ko Hohua, ko ia e whiti atu i mua i a koe, ka rite ki ta Ihowa i korero ai.

4 And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed.

A ka rite ta Ihowa e mea ai ki a ratou ki tana i mea ai ki a Hihona raua ko Oka, ki nga kingi o nga Amori, ki to ratou whenua hoki; i huna nei e ia.

5 And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you.

A ka homai ratou e Ihowa ki to koutou aroaro, a ka rite ta koutou e mea ai ki a ratou ki nga whakahau katoa i whakahau ai ahau ki a koutou.

6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he [it is] that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Kia maia, kia toa, kaua e wehi, kaua e pawera i a ratou: no te mea ko Ihowa, ko tou Atua, ko ia te haere tahi ana i a koe; e kore ia e whakarere i a koe, e kore hoki e mawehe atu i a koe.

7 And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.

Na ka karanga a Mohi ki a Hohua, a ka mea ki a ia i te tirohanga a Iharaira katoa, Kia maia, kia toa: ko koe hoki e haere tahi me tenei iwi ki te whenua i oati ai a Ihowa ki o ratou matua kia homai ki a ratou; mau ano ratou e whakawhiwhi ki taua wahi.

8 And the LORD, he [it is] that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

Ko Ihowa ano, ko ia te haere ana i tou aroaro, hei tou taha ia, e kore ia e whakarere i a koe, e kore hoki e mawehe atu i a koe: kaua e wehi, kaua hoki e pawera.

9 And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel.

A tuhituhia iho e Mohi tenei ture, hoatu ana ki nga tohunga, ki nga tama a Riwai, ko ratou nei nga kaiamo i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, ki nga kaumatua katoa ano hoki o Iharaira.

10 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of [every] seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,

I ako ano a Mohi ki a ratou, i mea, Hei te mutunga o nga tau e whitu, hei te wa ano e rite ai i te tau tuku noa, i te hakari o nga whare wharau,

11 When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.

I te wa e tae ai a Iharaira katoa ki te whakakite i a ratou ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai ia, ka korero ai koe i tenei ture ki te aroaro o Iharaira katoa, kia rongo ai ratou.

12 Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that [is] within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:

Whakaminea te iwi, nga tane, nga wahine, nga tamariki, me tou tangata iwi ke i roto i ou kuwaha, kia rongo ai ratou, kia whakaakona ai, kia wehi ai i a Ihowa, i to koutou Atua, kia mau ai ki te mahi i nga kupu katoa o tenei ture:

13 And [that] their children, which have not known [any thing], may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.

Kia rongo ai hoki a ratou tamariki, kihai nei i mohio, kia whakaakona ai kia wehi i a Ihowa, i to koutou Atua, i nga ra katoa e ora ai koutou ki te whenua e whiti atu nei koutou i Horano ki reira ki te tango.

14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.

Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Nana, ka tata ou ra e mate ai koe: karangatia atu a Hohua, e tu hoki korua ki roto ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, a maku e ako ki a ia. Na ka haere a Mohi raua ko Hohua, a tu ana raua i roto i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.

15 And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.

Na ka puta mai a Ihowa ki te tapenakara i roto ano i te pou kapua: a tu ana te pou kapua i runga i te kuwaha o te tapenakara.

16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go [to be] among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.

Katahi ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Nana, ka takoto koe ki ou matua; a ka whakatika te iwi nei, ka whai atu, ka puremu ki nga atua ke o te whenua, e haere na ratou ki reira noho ai ki waenganui i a ratou; ka whakarere i ahau, ka whakataka hoki i ta ku kawenata i whakaritea atu e ahau ki a ratou.

17 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God [is] not among us?

A ka mura toku riri ki a ratou i taua ra, a ka whakarere ahau i a ratou, ka huna hoki i toku kanohi i a ratou, a ka pau ratou, ka pa ano hoki nga kino maha me nga matenga ki a ratou; a ka mea ratou i taua ra, Kahore ianei enei kino i pa mai ki a tatou, no te mea kahore to tatou Atua i roto i a tatou?

18 And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods.

Ko ahau ia, ka huna rawa ahau i toku kanohi i taua ra, mo nga kino katoa i meatia e ratou, mo ratou i tahuri ki nga atua ke.

19 Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.

Na tuhituhia tenei hei waiata ma korua, ka whakaako hoki ki nga tama a Iharaira: hoatu hoki ki roto ki o ratou waha, kia ai tenei waiata hei kaiwhakaatu moku ki nga tama a Iharaira.

20 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.

No te mea ka oti ratou te kawe e ahau ki te whenua i oati ai ahau ki o ratou matua, e rerengia nei e te waiu, e te honi; a ka kai ratou, ka makona, ka momona hoki; ko reira ratou tahuri ai ki nga atua ke, mahi ai ki a ratou, a ka whakahawea rato u ki ahau, ka whakataka hoki i taku kawenata.

21 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.

A, tenei ake, hei te panga o nga kino maha, o nga mate maha ki a ratou, na ma tenei waiata e whakaatu ki to ratou aroaro; no te mea e kore e mahue i nga waha o o ratou uri: e mohio ana hoki ahau ki o ratou whakaaro e tito nei ratou inaianei nei ano, i te mea kiano ahau i kawe noa i a ratou ki te whenua i oati ai ahau.

22 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.

Na tuhituhia ana e Mohi tenei waiata i taua rangi ano, a whakaakona ana ki nga tama a Iharaira.

23 And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee.

A i whakahau ano ia i a Hohua, i te tama a Nunu, i mea, Kia maia, kia toa: mau hoki e kawe nga tama a Iharaira ki te whenua i oati ai ahau ki a ratou: a hei a koe ahau.

24 And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,

A, ka oti i a Mohi te tuhi nga kupu o tenei ture ki tetahi pukapuka, a poto noa,

25 That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,

Na, ka whakahau a Mohi i nga Riwaiti, i nga kaiamo i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, ka mea,

26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.

Tangohia tenei pukapuka o te ture, hoatu ki te taha o te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, a to koutou atua, a hei reira takoto ai, hei whakaatu ki a koe.

27 For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?

No te mea e mohio ana ahau ki tou tutu, ki tou kaki maro: nana, i ahau e ora nei ano i a koutou i tenei ra, e tutu ana ano koutou ki a Ihowa; a ka mate ahau, tera noa ake!

28 Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.

Huihuia mai ki ahau nga kaumatua katoa o o koutou iwi, me o koutou rangatira, a ka korero ahau i enei kupu ki o ratou taringa, ka waiho hoki i te rangi, i te whenua hei kaititiro mo ratou.

29 For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt [yourselves], and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.

No te mea e mohio ana ahau, ko muri i toku matenga taka rawa ai koutou, peka ke ai i te huarahi i kiia atu e ahau ki a koutou; a ka pono mai te kino ki a koutou i nga ra whakamutunga; mo koutou ka mahi i te kino i te tirohanga a Ihowa, hei whaka pataritari i a ia ki te mahi a o koutou ringa.

30 And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.

A korerotia ana e Mohi nga kupu o tenei waiata ki nga taringa o te huihuinga katoa o Iharaira a poto noa.
