Deuteronomy 30

1 When all these things have come on you, the blessings and the curses that I have set before you, and when you call them to mind among all the other nations where Yahweh your God has driven you,

A tenei ake, a te wa e tae mai ai enei mea katoa ki a koe, te manaaki me te kanga, i hoatu nei e ahau ki tou aroaro, a ka mahara tou hinengaro ki aua mea i roto i nga iwi katoa e peia ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua ki reira,

2 and when you return to Yahweh your God and obey his voice, following all that I am commanding you today— you and your children—with all your heart and with all your soul,

A ka tahuri koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, ka whakarongo ki tona reo, ki nga mea katoa e whakahau nei ahau i tenei ra ki a koe, koutou ko au tamariki, i tou ngakau katoa, i tou wairua katoa;

3 then Yahweh your God will reverse your captivity and have compassion on you; he will return and gather you from all the peoples where Yahweh your God has scattered you.

Katahi a Ihowa, tou Atua, ka whakaputa ke i tou parautanga, ka aroha ano ki a koe, ka tahuri hoki, ka kohikohi i a koe i roto i nga iwi katoa i whakamararatia atu ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua ki reira.

4 If any of your exiled people are in the farthest places under the heavens, from there Yahweh your God will gather you, and from there he will bring you.

Mehemea tera etahi o koutou i peia kei nga topito ra ano o te rangi, ka kohikohia mai ano koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, i reira, ka tikina ano koe e ia i reira:

5 Yahweh your God will bring you into the land that your forefathers possessed, and you will possess it again; he will do you good and will multiply you more than he did your forefathers.

A ka kawea mai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki te whenua i nohoia e ou matua, ka nohoia hoki a reira e koe; a ka mahi ia i te pai ki a koe, ka mea hoki i a koe kia maha atu i ou matua.

6 Yahweh your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, so you will love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live.

A ka kokoti a Ihowa, tou Atua, i tou ngakau, i te ngakau ano hoki o ou uri, e aroha ai koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i tou ngakau katoa, i tou wairua katoa, kia ora ai koe.

7 Yahweh your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, those who persecuted you.

A ka tukua iho e Ihowa, e tou Atua, enei kanga katoa ki ou hoariri, ki te hunga hoki e kino ana ki a koe, i whakatupu kino nei i a koe.

8 You will return and obey the voice of Yahweh, and you will do all his commandments that I am commanding you today.

Ko koe ia ka tahuri, ka whakarongo ki te reo o Ihowa, ka mahi i ana whakahau katoa, e whakahau nei ahau ki a koe i tenei ra.

9 Yahweh your God will make you abundant in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your ground, for prosperity; for Yahweh will again rejoice over you for prosperity, as he rejoiced over your fathers.

A ka mea a Ihowa, tou Atua, kia nui nga mea mau i te mahi katoa a tou ringa, i te hua o tou kopu, i te hua hoki o au kararehe, i te hua hoki o tou oneone, mo te pai: no te mea ka tahuri mai ano a Ihowa, ka hari ki a koe mo te pai, ka pera me ia i hari ki ou matua:

10 He will do this if you will obey the voice of Yahweh your God, so as to keep his commandments and regulations that are written in this book of the law, if you turn to Yahweh your God with all your heart and all your soul.

Ki te whakarongo koe ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ki te pupuri i ana whakahau, i ana tikanga, ka tuhituhia nei ki tenei pukapuka o te ture; ki te tahuri koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i tou ngakau katoa, i tou wairua katoa.

11 For this commandment that I am commanding you today is not too hard for you, neither is it too far for you to reach.

Ko tenei ture hoki, e whakahau nei ahau i tenei ra ki a koe, ehara i te mea pakeke rawa ki a koe, i te mea tawhiti ranei.

12 It is not in heaven, so that you should have to say, 'Who will go up for us to heaven and bring it down to us and make us able to hear it, so that we may do it?'

Kahore i te rangi, e mea ai koe, Ko wai o tatou hei piki ki te rangi ki te tiki atu i tena mea ma tatou, hei mea kia rongo atu tatou, kia mahi ai tatou?

13 Neither is it beyond the sea, so that you should have to say, 'Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us and make us to hear it, so that we may do it?'

Kahore i tawahi o te moana, hei meatanga mau, Ko wai o tatou hei whakawhiti ki tawahi o te moana, ki te tiki i tena mea ki a tatou, hei mea kia rongo atu tatou, kia mahi ai tatou?

14 But the word is very near to you, in your mouth and your heart, so that you may do it.

Kei te tata tonu ra te kupu ki a koe, kei roto i tou waha, kei roto hoki i tou ngakau, mo tau mahi atu.

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

Titiro, kua hoatu e ahau ki tou aroaro i tenei ra te ora me te pai, te mate me te kino;

16 If you obey the decrees of Yahweh your God, in which I am commanding you today to love Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments, his regulations, and his statutes, you will live and multiply, and Yahweh your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to possess.

I ahau e whakahau nei i a koe i tenei ra kia aroha ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kia haere i ana huarahi, kia pupuri i ana whakahau, i ana tikanga, i ana whakaritenga, kia ora ai koe, kia nui ai hoki, kia manaaki ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe ki te w henua e haere nei koe ki reira ki te tango.

17 But if your heart turns away, and you do not listen but instead are drawn away and bow down to other gods and worship them,

Otiia ki te tahuri ke tou ngakau, ki te kore koe e rongo, a ka takina atu koe ki te koropiko ki nga atua ke, kia mahi hoki ki a ratou;

18 then I announce to you today that you will surely perish; you will not prolong your days in the land that you are passing over the Jordan to go into and possess.

Maku e whakaatu ki a koutou i tenei ra, ka ngaro rawa atu koutou; e kore e roa o koutou ra ki te whenua e whiti atu nei koe i Horano, e haere atu nei koe ki reira ki te tango.

19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life so that you may live, you and your descendants.

Ka waiho e ahau i tenei ra te rangi me te whenua hei kaititiro i a koutou, kua hoatu e ahau ki tou aroaro te ora me te mate, te manaaki me te kanga: na reira manakohia te ora, kia ora ai koutou ko ou uri:

20 Do this so as to love Yahweh your God, to obey his voice, and to cling to him. For he is your life and the length of your days; do this so that you may live in the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”

Aroha ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, whakarongo ki tona reo, piri atu hoki ki a ia: ko ia hoki tou ora, te whakaroanga atu mo ou ra: kia noho ai koe ki te whenua i oati ai a Ihowa ki ou matua kia hoatu ki a ratou, ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hako pa.
