< Deuteronomy 16 >
1 “Observe the month of Abib, and you have made a Passover to your God YHWH, for in the month of Abib your God YHWH has brought you out of Egypt by night;
“Tokanga ki he māhina ko ʻApipi, pea fai ai ʻae Lakaatu kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua mei ʻIsipite ʻi he poʻuli ʻi he māhina ko ʻApipi.
2 and you have sacrificed a Passover to your God YHWH, of the flock and of the herd, in the place which YHWH chooses to cause His Name to dwell there.
Ko ia ke ke feilaulau ʻaki ʻae Lakaatu kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, mei he fanga manu siʻi mo e fanga manu lalahi, ʻi he potu ko ia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ke ʻai ki ai hono huafa.
3 You do not eat any fermented thing with it; [for] seven days you eat unleavened things with it, bread of affliction (for you have come out of the land of Egypt in haste), so that you remember the day of your coming out of the land of Egypt all [the] days of your life;
ʻOua naʻa ke kai mo ia ʻae mā kuo fakalēvani: ke ke kai ia mo e mā taʻefakalēvani ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, ʻio, ʻae mā ʻoe fakamamahi; he naʻa ke haʻu kituʻa mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi he fakatoʻotoʻo: koeʻuhi ke ke manatu ai ki he ʻaho naʻa ke haʻu ai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo moʻui ni.
4 and leaven is not seen with you in all your border [for] seven days, and there does not remain [any] of the flesh which you sacrifice at evening on the first day until morning.
Pea ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ʻiate koe ha mā kuo fakalēvani ʻi ho fonua kotoa pē ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu; pea ko e kakano ʻoku feilaulau ʻaki ʻi he efiafi ʻoe ʻuluaki ʻaho, ʻoua naʻa tuku hono toe ʻi he pō ko ia ki he pongipongi.
5 You are not able to sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which your God YHWH is giving to you,
ʻOku ʻikai ngofua ke tāmateʻi ʻae Lakaatu ʻi ho ngaahi lotoʻā kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe:
6 except at the place which your God YHWH chooses to cause His Name to dwell—there you sacrifice the Passover in the evening, at the going in of the sun, the season of your coming out of Egypt;
Ka ʻi he potu ko ia ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ʻai ki ai hono huafa, ko e potu ko ia ke ke feilaulau ʻaki ʻi ai ʻae Lakaatu ʻi he efiafi, ʻi he ʻalu hifo ʻae laʻā, ʻi he feituʻu naʻa ke haʻu ai kituʻa mei ʻIsipite.
7 and you have cooked and eaten in the place on which your God YHWH fixes, and have turned in the morning and gone to your tents;
Pea te ke toʻo ʻo kai ia ʻi he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: pea te ke foki ʻi he pongipongi ʻo ʻalu ki ho ngaahi fale fehikitaki.
8 [for] six days you eat unleavened things, and on the seventh day [is] a restraint to your God YHWH; you do no work.
Ko e ʻaho ʻe ono ke ke kai mā taʻefakalēvani: pea ke fai ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻae fakataha māʻoniʻoni kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ʻoua naʻa ke fai ai ha ngāue ʻe taha.
9 You number seven weeks for yourself; you begin to number seven weeks from the beginning of the sickle among the standing grain,
“Ke ke lau kiate koe ʻae uike ʻe fitu ke ke kamata hoʻo lau ʻae uike ʻe fitu mei he ʻaho ʻoku ke fuofua ʻai ʻae helepiko [ke tuʻusi ]ʻae uite.
10 and you have observed the Celebration of Weeks to your God YHWH, a tribute of a free-will offering of your hand, which you give as your God YHWH blesses you.
Pea ke tauhi ʻae kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi uike kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae feilaulau ʻoe meʻa loto lelei mei ho nima, ʻaia ke ke ʻatu ʻo fakatatau ki he tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua:
11 And you have rejoiced before your God YHWH, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your handmaid, and the Levite who [is] within your gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] in your midst, in the place which your God YHWH chooses to cause His Name to dwell there,
Pea te ke fiefia ko e ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻa koe, mo ho foha, mo ho ʻofefine, mo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, mo hoʻo kaunanga, mo e Livai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi hoʻo kolo, mo e muli, mo e tamai mate, mo e uitou, ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻi he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ʻai ki ai hono huafa.
12 and you have remembered that you have been a servant in Egypt, and have observed and done these statutes.
Pea te ke manatu naʻa ke pōpula koe ʻi ʻIsipite: pea te ke tokanga mo fai ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ko eni.
13 You observe the Celebration of Shelters for yourself [for] seven days, in your ingathering of your threshing-floor and of your wine-vat;
“Ke ke tokanga ki he kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, ʻi he hili hoʻo tānaki hoʻo uite mo hoʻo uaine.
14 and you have rejoiced in your celebration, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your handmaid, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within your gates.
Pea te ke fiefia ʻi hoʻo kātoanga, ʻa koe, mo ho foha, mo ho ʻofefine, mo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, mo hoʻo kaunanga, mo e Livai, mo e muli, mo e tamai mate, mo e fefine paea, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ho lotoʻā.
15 [For] seven days you celebrate before your God YHWH in the place which YHWH chooses, for your God YHWH blesses you in all your increase and in every work of your hands, and you have been only rejoicing.
Ke ke tauhi ʻae kātoanga māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova: koeʻuhi ʻe tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi hoʻo tupu meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻi he ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻa ho nima, ko ia ke ke fiefia moʻoni ai.
16 Three times in a year all of your males appear before your God YHWH in the place which He chooses: in the Celebration of Unleavened Things, and in the Celebration of Weeks, and in the Celebration of Shelters; and they do not appear before YHWH empty;
“ʻE liunga tolu ʻi he taʻu ʻae fakahā ʻa hoʻo kakai tangata kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe ia; ʻi ho kātoanga ʻoe mā taʻefakalēvani, pea ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi uike, pea ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki: pea ʻoua naʻa mou haʻu mola pe ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova:
17 each [gives] according to the gift of his hand, according to the blessing of your God YHWH, which He has given to you.
ʻE foaki ʻe he tangata kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene mafai, ʻo taau mo e tāpuaki ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaia kuo ne foaki kiate koe.
18 You set for yourself judges and authorities within all your gates which your God YHWH is giving to you, for your tribes; and they have judged the people [with] a righteous judgment.
“Ke ke fakanofo ʻae kau fakamaau mo e kau matāpule kiate koe ʻi hoʻo ngaahi kolo kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku tuku kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻi ho ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē: pea kenau fakamaau ʻae kakai ʻi he fakamaau angatonu.
19 You do not turn aside judgment; you do not discern faces, nor take a bribe, for the bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.
ʻOua naʻa ke fakahalaʻi ʻae fakamaau; ʻoua naʻa ke filifilimānako ki he tangata, pe maʻu ha tukungoue: he ʻoku fakakui ʻe he meʻa foaki ʻae mata ʻoe poto, mo ne fakahalaʻi ʻae lea ʻae angatonu.
20 Righteousness—you pursue righteousness, so that you live and have possessed the land which your God YHWH is giving to you.
Ko ia ʻoku mātuʻaki angatonu ke ke muimui ki ai, koeʻuhi ke ke moʻui ai koe, pea maʻu ʻae fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe.
21 You do not plant an Asherah of any trees for yourself near the altar of your God YHWH, which you make for yourself,
“ʻE ʻikai te ke tō ʻe koe ha ngaahi ʻakau ke ofi ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia te ke ngaohi kiate koe.
22 and you do not raise up any standing image for yourself which your God YHWH is hating.”
Pea ʻe ʻikai te ke fokotuʻu kiate koe ha meʻa fakatātā; ʻaia ʻoku fehiʻa ki ai ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
