Deuteronomy 27
1 Moses/I, along with the other Israeli leaders, said this to the people: “Obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, “Tauhi ʻae ngaahi fekau kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni.
2 [Soon] you will cross the Jordan [River] and enter the land that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], promised to give to you. There, in that very fertile [IDM] land on the [west] side of the Jordan [River], set up some large stones [on Ebal Mountain], and cover them with plaster. Then write on those stones all these laws and teachings/instructions.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te mou ʻalu ai ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, te ke fokotuʻu ai ʻae ngaahi maka lahi maʻau, pea ke ʻaofi ʻaki ia ʻae lahe:
Pea te ke tohi ki ai ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni, ʻoka hili hoʻo hoko ki he kauvai, koeʻuhi ke ke ʻalu ʻo hoko ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko e fonua ʻoku mahutāfea ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo talaʻofa kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamai.
Ko ia ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi hoʻomou ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, te mou fokotuʻu ʻae ngaahi maka ni, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku fekau kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni, ʻi he moʻunga ko Ipale, pea te ke ʻaofi ʻaki ia ʻae lahe.
5 And build a stone altar there to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, but do not cut those stones with iron tools.
Pea te ke fokotuʻu ʻi ai ʻae feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko e feilaulauʻanga maka: ʻoua naʻa ke hiki ki ai ha [toki ]ukamea.
6 The altar that you make to burn sacrifices to Yahweh our God must be made with uncut stones.
Ke ke fokotuʻu ʻae feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae ngaahi foʻi maka kotoa: pea te ke ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua:
7 And there you must sacrifice offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, and you must eat [your share of those offerings] and rejoice/celebrate in the presence of Yahweh.
Pea te ke ʻatu ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, pea ke kai ʻi ai, pea ke fiefia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
8 And, when you write these laws on those stones, you must write them very clearly.”
Pea te ke tohi ki he ngaahi maka ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni ke ʻilongofua.”
9 Then Moses/I, along with the priests, said to all the Israeli people, “You Israeli people, be quiet and listen [to what I am saying]. Today you have become the people who belong to Yahweh, our God.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese mo e kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻIsileli ke ke vakai, mo ke tokanga; kuo ke hoko he ʻaho ni ko e kakai ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
10 So, you must do what he tells you, and obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.”
Ko ia ke ke fai talangofua ai ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea fai ki heʻene ngaahi fekau mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni.”
11 On that same day Moses/I said to the Israeli people,
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ki he kakai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo pehē,
12 “After you have crossed over the Jordan [River], the tribes of Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin must stand on Gerizim Mountain and [request Yahweh to] bless the people.
“Ko kinautolu eni ʻe tuʻu ʻi he moʻunga ko Kelisimi ke tāpuakiʻi ʻae kakai, ʻi hoʻomou hoko atu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani; ko Simione, mo Livai, mo Siuta, mo ʻIsaka, mo Siosefa, mo Penisimani:
13 And the tribes of Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali must stand on Ebal Mountain and listen to the things that Yahweh will do when he curses the people.
Pea ko kinautolu eni ʻe tuʻu ʻi he moʻunga ko Ipale ke fakamalaʻia; ko Lupeni, mo Kata, mo ʻAseli, mo Sepuloni, mo Tani, mo Nafitali.
14 The descendants of Levi must shout these words loudly:
Pea ʻe lea ʻae kau Livai, ʻo tala ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi ki he kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli,
15 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who makes an idol of stone, or of wood, or of metal, and secretly sets it up [and worships it]. Yahweh considers that those things, made by humans [SYN], are detestable/disgusting.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
ʻE malaʻia ʻae tangata ʻaia ʻoku ne ngaohi ha meʻa fakatātā kuo tā pe haka, ko e meʻa fakalielia kia Sihova, ko e ngāue ʻae nima ʻoe tufunga, pea ʻoku ne tuku ia ʻi he potu lilo. Pea ʻe tali ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo pehē, ʻEmeni.
16 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who dishonors his father or his mother.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
Ke malaʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai fakaʻapaʻapa ki heʻene tamai pe ki heʻene faʻē. Pea ʻe lea pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.

20 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who (shows no respect for/disgraces his father) by having sex with [EUP] any of his father’s wives.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
Ke malaʻia ia ʻoku mohe mo e uaifi ʻo ʻene tamai; he ʻoku ne fakatelefua ʻene tamai. Pea ʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.
21 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who has sex [EUP] with any animal.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’

Ke malaʻia ia ʻoku mohe mo hono tuofefine, ko e ʻofefine ʻa ʻene tamai, pe ko e tama ʻa ʻene faʻē. Pea ʻe lea pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.
23 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who has sex with [EUP] his mother-in-law.’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
Ke malaʻia ia ʻoku mohe mo ʻene faʻē ʻi he fono. Pea ʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.

Ke malaʻia ia ʻoku ne taaʻi fakalilolilo ʻa hono kaungāʻapi. Pea ʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.
25 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who accepts a bribe to murder someone who (is innocent/has not done something that is wrong.)’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’
Ke malaʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku ne toʻo ʻae totongi ke tāmateʻi ʻae tokotaha ʻoku angatonu. Pea ʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.
26 ‘Yahweh will curse anyone who disobeys these laws and refuses to declare that these laws [are good].’ And all the people must reply, ‘(Amen/We want that to happen).’”
