Deuteronomy 29
1 These, are the words of the covenant which Yahweh commanded Moses to solemnise with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, —besides the covenant, which he solemnised with them in Horeb.
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 unto all Israel and said unto them, —Ye yourselves, saw all that Yahweh did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, unto Pharaoh and unto all his servants and unto 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 provings which thine own eyes saw, —those great signs and wonders:
I nga whakamatauranga nunui i kite ra ou kanohi, i nga tohu, i aua merekara nunui:
4 yet hath Yahweh not given onto you a heart to know, or eyes to see or 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 I led you, therefore forty years in the desert, —your mantles fell not with age, from off you, even thy sandal, fell not with age from off thy foot:
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 Bread, ye did not eat, and wine and strong drink, ye did not drink, —that ye might know that, I, Yahweh, was 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 when ye entered into this place, then came forth Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan to meet us in battle and we smote them;
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 took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites, —and unto the half tribe of Manasseh.
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 Ye must, therefore, keep the words of this covenant, and do them, —that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
Na puritia ra nga kupu o tenei kawenata, mahia hoki, kia kake ai koutou i nga mea katoa e mea ai koutou.
10 Ye are stationed, to-day, all of you, before Yahweh your God, —your heads your tribes, and your elders 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 little ones your wives, and thy sojourner that is in the midst of thy camps, —from him that heweth thy wood unto him that draweth thy 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 thou mayest pass through into the covenant of Yahweh thy God and into his oath, —which Yahweh thy God is solemnising with thee, to-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 confirm thee to-day as his own people, while, he, becometh thine own God, as he spake unto thee, —and as he sware unto thy fathers, unto Abraham unto Isaac and unto 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 not with you alone, am I solemnising this covenant and this oath;
Na kahore ki a koutou anake taku whakarite i tenei kawenata, i tenei oati hoki;
15 but with him who is here with us, standing to-day before Yahweh our God, —and with him who is not here with us to-day.
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, ye, know, how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, —and how we passed through the midst of the nations which ye did pass through;
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 ye saw their disgusting images, and their manufactured gods, —the wood and the stone, the silver and the gold that are with 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—a man or a woman or a family or a tribe, whose heart is turning to-day, from Yahweh our God, to go and serve the gods of those nations, —lest there be among you a root fruitful of poison and wormwood;
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 so it come to pass while he is hearing the words of this oath, that he will bless himself in his heart—saying, Prosperity, shall I have, although in the stubbornness of my heart, I go on, —so that the drunkenness addeth to the thirst:
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 Yahweh will not be willing to forgive him, but, then, will the anger of Yahweh and his jealousy smoke against that man, and all the oath that is written in this scroll, shall settle down upon him, —and Yahweh wipe out his name from under the heavens;
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 Yahweh single him out for calamity, out of all the tribes of Israel, —according to all the oaths of the covenant that is written in this scroll of the 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 So that the generation coming after—your sons who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner who shall come in from a far-off land, will say—when they see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses thereof wherewith Yahweh hath made it sick:
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 salt burning up all the land thereof, it shall not be sown neither shall it shoot forth neither shall there come up thereon any herbage, —like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which Yahweh overthrow in his anger and in his wrath:
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 yea all the nations will say, For what cause, hath Yahweh done, thus, unto this land? what meaneth this great heat 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 Then will men say, Because they forsook the covenant of Yahweh the God of their fathers, —which he solemnised with them, when he brought them forth 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 went and served other gods, and bowed down to them, —gods which they had not known, and in which he had given them no share:
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 therefore did the anger of Yahweh kindle upon that land, —to bring in upon it all the curse that is written in this scroll;
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 therefore hath Yahweh rooted them out, from off their own soil, in anger and in wrath and in great indignation, —and cast them into another land as at this day.
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 unto Yahweh our God] and, the things that are revealed, belong to us and to our children unto times age-abiding, that we may 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.
