Deuteronomy 8
1 All the commandment which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do; in order that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and take possession of the land which the Lord hath sworn unto your fathers.
Kia mahara kia mahia nga whakahau katoa e whakahaua nei e ahau i tenei ra, kia ora ai koutou, kia tini ai, kia tae ai hoki, kia whiwhi ai ki te whenua i oati ra a Ihowa ki a koutou matua.
2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness, in order to afflict thee, to prove thee, to know what is in thy heart, whether thou wouldst keep his commandments, or not.
Kia mahara hoki ki te ara katoa i arahi ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe i te koraha, i enei tau e wha tekau, kia iro ai koe, hei whakamatautau hoki i a koe, kia mohiotia ai nga aha noa i roto i tou ngakau, ka pupuri ranei koe i ana whakahau, kahore ranei.
3 And he afflicted thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and he gave thee manna to eat, which thou knewest not, and which thy fathers had not known; in order that he might make thee know that not by bread alone man doth live, but by every thing that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.
A whakawhiua ana koe e ia, whakamatea ana ki te kai, whangaia ana ki te mana, kihai nei i mohiotia e koe, kihai ano i mohiotia e ou matua; kia whakamohio ai ia i a koe e kore te tangata e ora i te taro kau, engari ma nga kupu katoa e puta mai ana i te mangai o Ihowa ka ora ai te tangata.
4 Thy garment did not fall worn out from thee, and thy foot did not swell, these forty years.
Kihai tou kakahu i tawhitotia ki runga ki a koe, kihai ano hoki tou waewae i pupuhi, i enei tau e wha tekau.
5 And thou shalt consider in thy heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so doth the Lord thy God chasten thee.
A ka mahara koe i roto i tou ngakau, e papaki ana a Ihowa, tou Atua i a koe, e pera ana me te tangata e papaki ana i tana tama.
6 And thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
Na kia mau ki nga whakahau a Ihowa, a tou Atua, haere hoki i ana huarahi me te wehi ano ki a ia.
7 For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and mountains;
Na te mea e kawe ana a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe ki te whenua pai, ki te whenua o nga awa wai, o nga puna, o nga wai hohonu, e pupu mai ana i nga raorao, i nga maunga;
8 A land of wheat, and barley, and of the vine, and the fig-tree, and the pomegranate; a land of the oil-olive, and of honey;
Ki te whenua o te witi, o te parei, o te waina, o te piki, o te pamekaranete: ki te whenua o te hinu oriwa, o te honi;
9 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, wherein thou shalt not lack anything; a land the stones whereof are iron, and out of the mountains of which thou canst hew copper.
Ki te whenua e kore ai e onge tau taro e kai ai koe, e kore rawa ai koe e hapa i tetahi mea; ki te whenua he rino ona kohatu, ka keri ano koe i te parahi i roto i ona maunga.
10 And when thou hast eaten and art satisfied, then shalt thou bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
A ka kai koe, ka makona, na kia whakapai atu koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, mo te whenua pai kua homai e ia ki a koe.
11 Take heed unto thyself that thou forget not the Lord thy God, so as not to keep his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command thee this day;
Kia tupato kei wareware ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kei kore koe e pupuri i ana whakahau, i ana whakaritenga, i ana tikanga, e whakahaua nei e ahau ki a koe i tenei ra:
12 That when thou hast eaten and art satisfied, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
Kei kai koe, a ka makona, kei hanga hoki i nga whare papai, a noho iho;
13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold are multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied:
A ka tini haere au kau, me au hipi, ka nui hoki te hiriwa me te koura ki a koe, a ka tini haere nga mea katoa ki a koe;
14 Thy heart be then not lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, who hath brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery;
Na ka kake tou ngakau, a ka wareware koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i whakaputa mai ra i a koe i te whenua o Ihipa, i te whare pononga;
15 Who hath led thee through the great and terrible wilderness, wherein are snakes, poisonous serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there is no water; who hath brought forth for thee water out of the flinty rock;
I arataki hoki i a koe i tena koraha nui, whakamataku, i reira nei nga nakahi tu a ahi me nga kopiona, me te whenua matewai, kahore o reira wai; i whakaputa mai ano i te wai mou i roto i te kohatu kiripaka;
16 Who hath fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not; in order to afflict thee, and in order to prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
I whangai i a koe i te koraha ki te mana, kihai nei i mohiotia e ou matua; kia iro ai koe, kia whakamatautau ai hoki ia i a koe, a kia pai ai te tukunga iho ki a koe;
17 And thou say in thy heart, My power and the strength of my hand have gotten me this wealth.
A ka mea koe i roto i tou ngakau, Na toku kaha, na te uaua hoki o toku ringa, i whiwhi ai ahau ki enei taonga.
18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God; for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth; in order that he might fulfill his covenant which he hath sworn unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
Engari kia mahara ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, nana hoki i homai te kaha ki a koe i whiwhi ai ki te taonga; kia mana ai tana kawenata i oati ai ia ki ou matua, a ka rite nei inaianei.
19 And it shall come to pass, that, if thou shouldst forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and bow thyself down to them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish;
Na ki te wareware koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, a ka whai ki nga atua ke, ka mahi ki a ratou, ka koropiko atu hoki ki a ratou, maku e ki atu ki a koutou i tenei ra, ka ngaro rawa koutou.
20 Like the nations which the Lord destroyeth from before you, so shall ye perish; in recompense of that ye would not hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God.
Ka rite ki nga iwi e whakangaromia nei e Ihowa i to koutou aroaro, ka pera ano koutou, ka ngaro; mo koutou kihai i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua.
