Deuteronomy 30

1 “And it has been, when all these things come on you, the blessing and the reviling, which I have set before you, and you have brought [them] back to your heart among all the nations to where your God YHWH has driven you away,

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, “ʻI he fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate koe, ʻae tāpuaki mo e malaʻia, ʻaia kuo u fokotuʻu ʻi ho ʻao, pea ke fakamanatu ki he ngaahi meʻa ni ʻi he puleʻanga kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo kapusi koe ki ai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua,

2 and have turned back to your God YHWH and listened to His voice, according to all that I am commanding you today, you and your sons, with all your heart and with all your soul—

Pea ke tafoki kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo fai talangofua ki hono leʻo ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni, ʻa koe mo hoʻo fānau, ʻaki ho loto kotoa pea ʻi ho laumālie kotoa;

3 then your God YHWH has turned back [to] your captivity and pitied you, indeed, He has turned back and gathered you out of all the peoples to where your God YHWH has scattered you.

‌ʻE toki liliu ai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻa ho pōpula, pea ʻe ʻaloʻofa [ia ]kiate koe, pea ʻe tafoki [ia ]ʻo tānaki koe mei he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo fakamovetevete koe ki ai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

4 If your outcast is in the extremity of the heavens, your God YHWH gathers you from there and He takes you from there;

Kapau ʻoku ai hao niʻihi kuo kapusi atu ki he potu mamaʻo ange ʻaupito ʻoe langi, ʻe tānaki koe mei ai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea te ne ʻomi koe mei ai:

5 and your God YHWH has brought you into the land which your fathers have possessed, and you have inherited it, and He has done you good, and multiplied you above your fathers.

Pea ʻe ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki he fonua ʻaia naʻe maʻu ʻe hoʻo ngaahi tamai, pea te ke maʻu ia; pea ʻe fai lelei ʻe ia kiate koe, pea fakatokolahi hake koe ʻi hoʻo ngaahi tamai.

6 And your God YHWH has circumcised your heart and the heart of your seed, to love your God YHWH with all your heart and with all your soul, for the sake of your life;

Pea ʻe kamuʻi ho loto ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, mo e loto ʻo ho hako, ke ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ho loto kotoa, pea ʻi ho laumālie kotoa, koeʻuhi ke ke moʻui.

7 and your God YHWH has put all this oath on your enemies and on those hating you, who have pursued you.

Pea ʻe ʻai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi malaʻia ni kotoa pē ki ho ngaahi fili, pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate koe, mo fakatangaʻi koe.

8 And you turn back, and have listened to the voice of YHWH, and have done all His commands which I am commanding you today;

Pea te ke tafoki ʻo fai talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova, ʻo fai ʻae ngaahi fekau ni kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni.

9 and your God YHWH has made you abundant in every work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, for good; for YHWH turns back to rejoice over you for good, as He rejoiced over your fathers,

Pea ʻe fakamonūʻiaʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he ngāue kotoa pē ʻa ho nima, ʻi he fua ʻo ho sino, ʻi he fua ʻo hoʻo fanga manu, pea ʻi he fua ʻo ho fonua, ke ke lelei ai: koeʻuhi ʻe toe fiefia ʻa Sihova kiate koe ʻi he lelei, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fiefia ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai:

10 for you listen to the voice of your God YHWH, to keep His commands and His statutes which are written in the scroll of this law, for you turn back to your God YHWH with all your heart and with all your soul.

Kapau te ke tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻaia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ʻoe fono ni, pea kapau te ke tafoki kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ho loto kotoa, mo ho laumālie kotoa.

11 For this command which I am commanding you today, it is not too wonderful for you, nor [is] it far off.

“He ko e fekau ni ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau ai kiate koe he ʻaho ni, ʻoku ʻikai lilo meiate koe, pea ʻoku ʻikai mamaʻo ia ʻiate koe.

12 It is not in the heavens, saying, Who goes up into the heavens for us, and takes it for us, and causes us to hear it, that we may do it?

‌ʻOku ʻikai ʻi he langi ia, koeʻuhi ke ke pehē ai, ‘Ko hai ʻe ʻalu hake ki langi maʻatautolu, pea ʻomi ia kiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi ketau fanongo ki ai, ʻo fai ia?’

13 And it [is] not beyond the sea, saying, Who passes over beyond the sea for us, and takes it for us, and causes us to hear it, that we may do it?

Pea ʻoku ʻikai mamaʻo atu ia ʻi he tuʻa tahi, koeʻuhi ke ke pehē ai, ‘Ko hai ʻe ʻalu mamaʻo atu ʻi he tahi pea ʻomi ia kiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi ketau fanongo ai, pea fai ia?’

14 For the word is very near to you, in your mouth, and in your heart—to do it.

Ka ʻoku ofi ʻaupito ʻae lea kiate koe ʻoku ʻi ho ngutu, pea ʻi ho loto, koeʻuhi ke ke fai ki ai.

15 See, today I have set before you life and good, and death and evil,

“Vakai, kuo u fokotuʻu ʻi ho ʻao he ʻaho ni ʻae moʻui mo e lelei, mo e mate mo e kovi;

16 in that today I am commanding you to love your God YHWH, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commands, and His statutes, and His judgments; and you have lived and multiplied, and your God YHWH has blessed you in the land to where you are going in to possess it.

Koeʻuhi ʻi heʻeku fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni ke ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke ʻalu ʻi hono ngaahi hala, pea tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo ʻene ngaahi fakamaau, koeʻuhi ke ke moʻui pea hoko ʻo tokolahi: pea ʻe tāpuaki koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he fonua ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai ke maʻu ia.

17 And if your heart turns, and you do not listen, and have been drawn away, and have bowed yourself to other gods and served them,

Pea kapau ʻe tafoki ho loto, pea ʻikai te ke tokanga, kae tohoekina koe ke mamaʻo, pea [ke ]lotu ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, pea tauhi ʻakinautolu;

18 I have declared to you this day that you certainly perish, you do not prolong days on the ground which you are passing over the Jordan to go in there to possess it.

‌ʻOku ou valoki ʻakimoutolu he ʻaho ni ko e moʻoni te mou ʻauha, pea ʻe ʻikai te mou fakatolonga homou ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he fonua, ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻalu ai ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani ke maʻu ia.

19 I have caused the heavens and the earth to testify against you today—I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the reviling, and you have fixed on life, so that you live, you and your seed,

‌ʻOku ou ui ki he langi mo māmani ke fakamoʻoni he ʻaho ni, kuo u fokotuʻu ʻi homou ʻao ʻae moʻui mo e mate, ʻae tāpuaki mo e malaʻia: ko ia ke ke fili ʻae moʻui, koeʻuhi ke moʻui fakatouʻosi ai koe mo ho hako:

20 to love your God YHWH, to listen to His voice, and to cleave to Him (for He [is] your life and the length of your days), to dwell on the ground which YHWH has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them.”

Koeʻuhi ke ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea ke fai talangofua ki hono leʻo, pea koeʻuhi ke ke pikitai kiate ia: he ko hoʻo moʻuiʻanga ia, mo e fakatolongaʻanga ʻo ho ngaahi ʻaho: koeʻuhi ke ke nofo ai koe ʻi he fonua ʻaia naʻe fuakava ki ai ʻe Sihova ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai, kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo Sēkope, ke foaki kiate kinautolu.”
