Deuteronomy 29
1 These [are] the words of the covenant, which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made with them in Choreb.
Ko nga kupu enei o te kawenata i akona e Ihowa ki a Mohi kia whakaritea atu ki nga tama a Iharaira i te whenua o Moapa; haunga te kawenata i whakaritea e ia ki a ratou i Horepa.
2 And Moses called all the sons of Israel and said to them, You have seen all things that the Lord did in the land of Egypt before you to Pharao and his servants, and all his land;
A ka karanga a Mohi ki a Iharaira katoa, ka mea ki a ratou, Kua kite koutou i nga mea katoa i mea ai a Ihowa ki to koutou aroaro i te whenua o Ihipa ki a Parao, ki ona tangata, ki tona whenua katoa;
3 the great temptations which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders.
I nga whakamatauranga nunui i kite ra ou kanohi, i nga tohu, i aua merekara nunui:
4 Yet the Lord God has not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, until this day.
He ahakoa ra, kahore ano i homai e Ihowa ki a koutou he ngakau mohio, he kanohi hei titiro, he taringa hei whakarongo a tae noa ki tenei ra.
5 And he led you forty years in the wilderness; your garments did not grow old, and your sandals were not worn away off your feet.
Na ka wha tekau nga tau i arahi ai ahau i a koutou i te koraha: kahore nei i tawhitotia o koutou kakahu ki a koutou, kahore hoki tou hu i tawhitotia ki tou waewae.
6 You did not eat bread, you did not drink wine or strong drink, that you might know that I [am] the Lord your God.
Kahore ano koutou i kai i te taro, i inu ranei i te waina, i te wai whakahaurangi ranei: kia mohio ai koutou ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
7 And you came as far as this place; and there came forth Seon king of Esebon, and Og king of Basan, to meet us in war.
A, ka tae mai koutou ki tenei whenua, na ka puta mai a Hihona kingi o Hehepona, raua ko Oka kingi o Pahana, ki te tu i a tatou ki te riri, a patua iho e tatou:
8 And we struck them and took their land, and I gave it for an inheritance to Ruben and Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasse.
Na tangohia ana e tatou to ratou oneone, a hoatu ana hei kainga mo nga Reupeni, mo nga Kari, mo tetahi taanga hoki o te iwi o Manahi.
9 And you shall take heed to do all the words of this covenant, that you may understand all things that you shall do.
Na puritia ra nga kupu o tenei kawenata, mahia hoki, kia kake ai koutou i nga mea katoa e mea ai koutou.
10 You all stand today before the Lord your God, the heads of your tribes, and your elders, and your judges, and your officers, every man of Israel,
E tu ana koutou katoa i tenei ra i te aroaro o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua; o koutou upoko, o koutou iwi, o koutou kaumatua, o koutou rangatira, ara nga tangata katoa o Iharaira,
11 your wives, and your children, and the stranger who is in the midst of your camp, from your hewer of wood even to your drawer of water,
A koutou tamariki, a koutou wahine, me tou tangata iwi ke i roto i ou puni, te kaitata i au wahie tae noa ki te kaiutuutu wai mou:
12 that you should enter into the covenant of the Lord your God and into his oaths, as many as the Lord your God appoints you this day;
Kia uru ai koe ki te kawenata a Ihowa, a tou Atua, ki tana oati hoki e whakaritea nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe i tenei ra:
13 that he may appoint you to himself for a people, and he shall be your God, as he said to you, and as he sware to your fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob.
Kia whakapumautia ai koe i tenei ra hei iwi mana, ko ia hoki hei Atua mou, kia rite ai ki tana i korero ai ki a koe, ki tana hoki i oati ai ki ou matua, ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa.
14 And I do not appoint to you alone this covenant and this oath;
Na kahore ki a koutou anake taku whakarite i tenei kawenata, i tenei oati hoki;
15 but to those also who are here with you today before the Lord your God, and to those who are not here with you today.
Engari ki tenei e tu tahi nei me tatou i konei i tenei ra i te aroaro o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua, ki te mea hoki kahore i konei i a tatou i tenei ra:
16 For you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, how we came through the midst of the nations through whom you came.
E mohio ana hoki koutou ki to tatou nohoanga ki te whenua o Ihipa, ki to tatou haerenga mai hoki na waenganui o nga iwi i haere mai nei koutou;
17 And you saw their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which are among them.
A kua kite koutou i a ratou mea whakarihariha, i a ratou whakapakoko rakau, kohatu, hiriwa, koura, i waenganui i a ratou:
18 Lest there be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart has turned aside from the Lord your God, having gone to serve the gods of these nations; lest there be in you a root springing up with gall and bitterness.
Kei noho i roto i a koutou he tangata, he wahine ranei, he hapu, he iwi ranei, e tahuri ke atu ana tona ngakau i tenei ra i a Ihowa, i to tatou Atua, e haere ana ki te mahi ki nga atua o era iwi; kei puta ake i roto i a koutou he pakiaka e tupu ake ai te taru whakamate me te taru kawa;
19 And it shall be if one shall hear the words of this curse, and shall flatter himself in his heart, saying, Let good happen to me, for I will walk in the error of my heart, lest the sinner destroy the guiltless with [him]:
A tenei ake, kei tona rongonga i nga kupu o tenei kanga, na ka manaaki ia i a ia ano i roto i tona ngakau, ka mea, Ka mau te rongo ki ahau, ahakoa haere ahau i te pakeketanga o toku ngakau, ki te whakangaro tahi i te mea makuku me te mea maroke:
20 God shall by no means be willing to pardon him, but then the wrath of the Lord and his jealousy shall flame out against that man; and all the curses of this covenant shall attach themselves to him, which are written in this book, and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven.
E kore a Ihowa e tuku noa atu i tona he, engari ka paowa te riri o Ihowa me tona ngakau hae ki taua tangata, a ka tapapa iho ki runga ki a ia te kanga katoa ka tuhituhia nei ki tenei pukapuka, a ka murua atu e Ihowa tona ingoa i raro i te rangi.
21 And the Lord shall separate that man for evil of all the children of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in the book of this law.
A ka wehea ia e Ihowa mo te kino i roto i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira, ka rite ki nga kanga katoa o te kawenata ka tuhituhia nei ki tenei pukapuka o te ture:
22 And another generation shall say—even your sons who shall rise up after you, and the stranger who shall come from a land afar off, and shall see the plagues of that land and their diseases, which the Lord has sent upon it,
A ka mea to muri whakatupuranga, a koutou tamariki e tupu ake i muri i a koutou, me te tangata iwi ke hoki e haere mai i te whenua tawhiti, ua kite ratou i nga whiunga o tena whenua, i nga matenga e whakamatea ai a reira e Ihowa;
23 brimstone and burning salt, (the whole land shall not be sown, neither shall any green thing spring, nor rise upon it, as Sodom and Gomorrha were overthrown, Adama and Seboim, which the Lord overthrew in his wrath and anger: )—
I te whenua katoa hoki he whanariki, he tote, he ngiha, kahore e whakatokia, kahore e tupu, kahore hoki e pihi ake tetahi otaota ki reira, pera me te hunanga o Horoma raua ko Komora, o Arema raua ko Tepoimi, i huna e Ihowa i a ia e aritarita ana, e riri ana:
24 and all the nations shall say, Why has the Lord done thus to this land? what [is] this great fierceness of anger?
Na ka mea nga iwi katoa, Na te aha a Ihowa i penei ai ki tenei whenua? He aha te tikanga o te mura o tenei riri nui?
25 And [men] shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, the things which he appointed to their fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt:
Katahi ka mea te tangata, Mo ratou ra i whakarere i te kawenata a Ihowa, a te Atua o o ratou matua, i whakaritea e ia ki a ratou, i tana whakaputanga mai i a ratou i te whenua o Ihipa:
26 and they went and served other gods, which they knew not, neither did he assign [them] to them.
A haere ana ratou, mahi ana ki nga atua ke, a koropiko ana ki a ratou, a ehara nei i a ia i hoatu ki a ratou:
27 And the Lord was exceedingly angry with that land to bring upon it according to all the curses which are written in the book of this law.
Na mura ana te riri o Ihowa ki tenei whenua, hei whakaputa ki a ratou i nga kanga katoa i tuhituhia ki tenei pukapuka:
28 And the Lord removed them from their land in anger, and wrath, and very great indignation, and cast them out into another land as at present.
A huarangatia atu ana ratou e Ihowa i runga i to ratou oneone, i tona riri, i te aritarita, i te whakatakariri noa iho, a maka ana ratou he whenua ke, me tenei inaianei.
29 The secret things [belong] to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed [belong] to us and to our children for ever, to do all the words of this law.
Kei a Ihowa, kei to tatou Atua, nga mea ngaro: ko nga mea ia ka oti nei te whakapuaki mai, ma tatou ena, ma a tatou tamariki, ake nei, kia mahi ai tatou i nga kupu katoa o tenei ture.
