Deuteronomy 17
1 Not you will sacrifice to Yahweh God your an ox and a sheep which it will be in it a blemish any thing bad for [is] [the] abomination of Yahweh God your that.
“ʻOua naʻa ke feilaulau ʻaki kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ha pulu, pe ha sipi, ʻaia ʻoku ai hano mele, pe ha momoʻi kovi: he ko e meʻa kovi ia kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
2 If he will be found in midst your in one of gates your which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you a man or a woman who he will do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh God your by transgressing covenant his.
“Kapau ʻoku ʻilo ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻi ha kolo ʻaia ʻoku tuku mai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe, ha tangata pe ha fefine, ʻaia kuo fai ʻe ia ʻae angakovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻi he fai talangataʻa ki heʻene fuakava,
3 And he has gone and he has served gods other and he has bowed down to them and to the sun - or to the moon or to all [the] host of the heavens which not I have commanded.
Pea kuo ʻalu ia ʻo tauhi ʻotua kehe, pea lotu ki ai, pe ko e laʻā, pe ko e māhina, pe ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi he langi, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u fekau;
4 And it will be told to you and you will hear and you will investigate thoroughly and there! truth [is] certain the matter it has been done the abomination this in Israel.
Pea kapau ʻoku tala ia kiate koe, pea kuo ke fanongo ki ai, mo ke fehuʻi fakapapau, pea vakai, ʻoku moʻoni, pea kuo pau pe ʻae meʻa ko ia, kuo fai ʻi ʻIsileli ʻae meʻa kovi ko ia:
5 And you will bring out the man that or the woman that who they have done the thing evil this to gates your the man or the woman and you will stone them with stones and they will die.
Te ke toki ʻomi kituʻa ʻae tangata pe ko e fefine ko ia, ʻaia kuo ne fai ʻae meʻa kovi ko ia, ki ho matapā, ʻio, ʻae tangata pe ko e fefine ko ia, pea tolongaki ʻaki ia ʻae maka, ke mate.
6 On [the] mouth of - two witnesses or three witnesses he will be put to death the [one who] dies not he will be put to death on [the] mouth of a witness one.
“ʻI he ngutu ʻoe fakamoʻoni ʻe toko ua, pe toko tolu, ʻe tuku ke mate ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke mate; ka ʻi he ngutu ʻoe fakamoʻoni ʻe tokotaha pe ʻe ʻikai fakamaau ke mate ia;
7 [the] hand of The witnesses it will be on him at the first to put to death him and [the] hand of all the people at the last and you will remove the evil from midst your.
ʻE tomuʻa ʻai ʻae nima ʻoe kau fakamoʻoni kiate ia ke tāmateʻi ia, pea toki hoko ʻae nima ʻoe kakai kotoa pē. ʻE pehē ʻa hoʻomou tukuange ai ʻae kovi ʻiate kimoutolu.
8 If it will be [too] difficult for you a matter for judgment between blood - and blood between dispute and dispute and between wound and wound matters of cases at law in gates your and you will arise and you will go up to the place which he will choose Yahweh God your it.
“Kapau ʻe hoko ha meʻa ʻoku fifilingataʻa ʻaupito ʻa hono fakamaauʻi, ʻi he fetāmateʻiʻaki, ʻi he fefakamaau ʻaki, mo e fetāʻaki, ʻaia ʻoku tupu ai ʻae fakakikihi ʻi hoʻo ngaahi kolo: pea te ke toki tuʻu hake, ʻo ʻalu hake ki he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua;
9 And you will go to the priests the Levites and to the judge who he will be in the days those and you will enquire and they will tell to you [the] word of the verdict.
Pea te ke haʻu ki he kau taulaʻeiki ko e kau Livai, pea kiate ia ʻoku fakamaau ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pea ke fehuʻi ki ai; pea tenau fakahā kiate koe ʻa hono fakamaau totonu.
10 And you will do on [the] mouth of the word which they will tell to you from the place that which he will choose Yahweh and you will take care to do according to all that they will instruct you.
Pea te ke fai ʻo hangē ko hono fakatonutonu, ʻaia ʻe fakahā ʻi he potu ko ia kiate koe ʻekinautolu, ʻi he potu ko ia ʻaia kuo fili ʻe Sihova; pea te ke tokanga ke fai ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku nau tala kiate koe:
11 On [the] mouth of the instruction which they will instruct you and on the verdict which they will say to you you will do not you will turn aside from the word which they will tell to you right [hand] and left [hand].
Ke ke fai ʻo tatau mo e fakamaau ʻoe fono ʻaia tenau ako ʻaki kiate koe, pea hangē ko e fakamaau ʻaia tenau tala kiate koe, ʻoua naʻa ke afe mei hono fakatonutonu ʻaia tenau fakahā kiate koe, ki he nima toʻomataʻu, pe ki he toʻohema.
12 And the person who he will act with presumption to not to listen to the priest who stands to serve there Yahweh God your or to the judge and he will die the person that and you will remove the evil from Israel.
“Pea ko e tangata ko ia ʻoku pau pe ke fai loto lahi, pea ʻoku ʻikai fie fanongo ki he taulaʻeiki ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ke tauhi ʻi ai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pe ki he fakamaau, ko e tangata ko ia ʻe mate: pea te ke tukuange ʻae kovi mei ʻIsileli.
13 And all the people they will hear and they may fear and not they will act presumptuously! again.
Pea ʻe fanongo ki ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē, pea manavahē, pea ʻe ʻikai toe fai ʻae anga loto lahi.
14 If you will go into the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you and you will take possession of it and you will dwell in it and you will say let me appoint over myself a king like all the nations which [are] around me.
“ʻI hoʻo hoko atu ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe, pea ke maʻu ia, mo ke nofo ki ai, pea ke pehē, Te u fakanofo ha tuʻi ke pule kiate au, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku takatakai au;
15 Indeed you will appoint over yourself a king whom he will choose Yahweh God your him from [the] midst of countrymen your you will appoint over yourself a king not you will be able to set over yourself a man foreign who not [is] countryman your he.
Ko e moʻoni ke ke fakanofo ia ko e tuʻi ke pule kiate koe, ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ke ke fakanofo ha tokotaha mei ho kāinga ko e tuʻi kiate koe: ʻoua naʻa ke fakanofo ha muli ke pule kiate koe, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ko ho tokoua.
16 Only not he will increase for himself horses and not he will make return the people Egypt towards so as to increase horse[s] and Yahweh he has said to you not you will repeat! to return on the way this again.
Kaeʻoua naʻa fakalahi ʻe ia ʻae fanga hoosi kiate ia, pe pule ke toe ʻalu atu ʻae kakai ki ʻIsipite, koeʻuhi ke ne fakalahi ʻae fanga hoosi: he kuo folofola ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai te mou toe ʻalu ʻi he hala ko ia.
17 And not he will increase for himself wives and not it will turn aside heart his and silver and gold not he will increase for himself exceedingly.
Pea ʻoua naʻa fakatokolahi ʻe ia ʻae uaifi kiate ia, telia naʻa afe kehe hono loto: pea ʻoua naʻa ne fakalahi ʻaupito ʻae siliva mo e koula kiate ia.
18 And it will be when sits he on [the] throne of kingdom his and he will write for himself copy of the law this on a scroll from to before the priests the Levites.
Pea ʻoka hoko ia ʻo nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo hono puleʻanga, te ne hiki ʻo tohi nima maʻana ʻae fono ni ʻi ha tohi mei he tohi ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai:
19 And it will be with him and he will read it all [the] days of life his so that he may learn to fear Yahweh God his to keep all [the] words of the law this and the statutes these to do them.
Pea ʻe ʻiate ia ia, pea te ne lau ʻi ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui: koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ai ia ke manavahē kia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, ke fai ki he ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni mo e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ke fai ki ai:
20 To not to be high heart his more than countrymen his and to not to turn aside from the commandment right [hand] and left [hand] so that he may prolong days over kingdom his he and descendants his in [the] midst of Israel.
Ke ʻoua naʻa hiki hake hono loto ki hono kāinga, pea ke ʻoua naʻa tafoki mei he fekau, ki he nima toʻomataʻu, pe ki he toʻohema: koeʻuhi ke fakatolonga ai hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻi hono puleʻanga, ʻa ia, mo ʻene ngaahi fānau, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ʻIsileli.
