Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear, you heavens, and let me speak. Let the earth listen to the words of my mouth.
Kia whai taringa mai, e nga rangi, a ka korero ahau; whakarongo mai hoki, e te whenua, ki nga kupu a toku mangai:
2 Let my teaching drop down like the rain, let my speech distill like the dew, like the gentle rain on the tender grass, and like the showers on the plants.
Ka kopatapata iho taku whakaako, ano he ua, ka maturuturu iho taku kupu me te tomairangi; me te ua punehunehu ki runga i te tupu hou, me te ua ta ki runga i te tarutaru:
3 For I will proclaim the name of Yahweh, and ascribe greatness to our God.
No te mea ka kauwhautia e ahau te ingoa o Ihowa: waiho te nui i to tatou Atua.
4 The Rock, his work is perfect; for all his paths are just. He is the faithful God, without iniquity. He is just and upright.
Ko te Kamaka, tika tonu tana mahi; he whakarite tikanga nei hoki ona huarahi katoa: he Atua pono, kahore ona he, he tika, he tapatahi ia.
5 They have acted corruptly against him. They are not his children. It is their disgrace. They are a perverted and crooked generation.
Kua mahi ratou i te kino ki a ia, ehara ratou i te tamariki nana, no ratou te koha; he whakatupuranga maro, parori ke ratou.
6 Do you reward Yahweh in this way, you foolish and senseless people? Is he not your father, the one who has created you? He made you and established you.
Ko ta koutou utu ianei tenei ki a Ihowa, e te iwi kuware, e kore nei e mohio? Ehara ianei ia i tou matua, nana koe i hoko? Nana koe i hanga, nana hoki koe i whakau?
7 Call to mind the days of ancient times, think about the years of many ages past. Ask your father and he will show you, your elders and they will tell you.
Kia mahara ki nga ra onamata, whakaarohia nga tau o nga whakatupuranga e maha: ui atu ki tou papa, a mana e whakaatu ki a koe; ki ou kaumatua, a ma ratou e korero ki a koe.
8 When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance— when he divided all of mankind, and he set the boundaries of the peoples, as he also fixed the number of their gods.
I ta te Runga Rawa whakaritenga kainga mo nga iwi, i tana wehewehenga i nga tama a te tangata, i whakaturia e ia nga rohe mo nga iwi, me te whakaaro ano ki te tokomaha o nga tama a Iharaira.
9 For Yahweh's portion is his people; Jacob is his apportioned inheritance.
Ko to Ihowa wahi hoki, ko tana iwi; ko Hakopa hei wahi pumau mona.
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the barren and howling wilderness; he shielded him and cared for him, he guarded him as the apple of his eye.
I kitea ia e ia ki te whenua koraha, ki te tahora tuhea e hamama kau ana; i taiwhiotia ia e ia, i atawhaitia, i tiakina hoki e ia, ano ko te whatupango o tona kanohi:
11 As an eagle that guards her nest and flutters over her young, Yahweh spread out his wings and took them, and carried them on his pinions.
Ano he ekara e whakakorikori ana i tana ohanga, e whakapaho ana i runga i ana pi, e roharoha ana ia i ona parirau, e tango ana i a ratou, e waha ana hoki i a ratou i runga i ona parirau:
12 Yahweh alone led him; no foreign god was with him.
Na Ihowa anake ia i arahi, kahore hoki he atua ke i tona taha.
13 He made him ride on high places of the land, and he fed him the fruits of the field; he nourished him with honey from the rock, and oil from the flinty crag.
Nana hoki ia i whakaeke ki nga wahi tiketike o te whenua, hei hoiho mona, a i kai ia i nga hua o te mara; a nana ia i ngongo ai i te honi i roto i te kamaka, i te hinu hoki i roto i te kohatu kiripaka;
14 He ate butter from the herd and drank milk from the flock, with fat of lambs, rams of Bashan and goats, with the finest of the wheat— and you drank foaming wine made from the juice of grapes.
I te pata o te kau, i te waiu hipi, i te ngako reme, i nga hipi toa o te momo o Pahana, i nga koati, me te taupa o nga whatukuhu o te witi; a i inu koe i te waina, i te toto o te karepe.
15 But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked— you grew fat, you were too fat, and you had eaten your fill— he abandoned the God who made him, and he rejected the Rock of his salvation.
Nawai a ka whai kiko a Iehuruna, a whana mai ana: kua whai kiko koe, kua tetere, kua ki i te ngako; a whakarerea iho e ia te Atua nana ia i hanga, whakahawea ana ki te Kamaka o tona whakaoranga.
16 They made Yahweh jealous by their strange gods; with their abominations they angered him.
Na ratou i mea kia hae ia ki nga atua ke, whakapataritari ana ratou i a ia ki nga mea whakarihariha kia riri.
17 They sacrificed to demons, which are not God— gods they had not known, gods that recently appeared, gods your fathers did not fear.
Ko a ratou patunga tapu i tapaea e ratou ma nga rewera, ehara nei i te Atua, ma nga atua kihai nei ratou i mohio, he mea puta hou ake nonaianei, kihai nei i wehingia e o koutou matua.
18 You have deserted the Rock, who became your father, and you forgot the God who gave you birth.
Ko te Kamaka i whanau ai koe ka wareware i a koe, kahore hoki ou mahara ki a Atua nana koe i hanga.
19 Yahweh saw this and he rejected them, because his sons and his daughters provoked him so.
A ka kite a Ihowa, na anuanu ana ia ki a ratou, mo te mahi whakapataritari a ana tama, a ana tamahine.
20 “I will hide my face from them,” he said, “and I will see what their end will be; for they are a perverse generation, children who are unfaithful.
Na ka mea, Ka huna ahau i toku mata i a ratou, ka titiro atu ahau he aha he mutunga mo ratou: he whakatupuranga parori ke hoki ratou, he tamariki kahore he pono i roto.
21 They have made me jealous by what is not god and angered me by their worthless things. I will make them envious by those who are not a people; by a foolish nation I will make them angry.
Na ratou ahau i mea kia hae ki te mea ehara i te Atua; i whakapataritari kia riri ki a ratou mea horihori: na maku ratou e mea kia hae ki te hunga ehara i te iwi; maku ratou e whakapataritari kia riri ki te iwi poauau.
22 For a fire is kindled by my anger and is burning to the lowest Sheol; it is devouring the earth and its harvest; it is setting on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
Ka ngiha hoki te ahi i ahau e riri ana, ka toro atu ki te takere ra ano o te reinga, pau ake hoki te whenua, tahuna ana nga turanga o nga maunga. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will heap disasters on them; I will shoot all my arrows at them;
Ka opehia e ahau nga kino ki runga ki a ratou; ka whakapotoa aku pere ki a ratou.
24 They will be wasted by hunger and devoured by burning heat and bitter destruction; I will send on them the teeth of wild animals, with the poison of things that crawl in the dust.
Ka hemo ratou i te matekai, ka pau hoki i te hana o te wera me te hunanga nui whakaharahara; maku hoki e tuku iho te niho o nga kararehe ki a ratou, me te huwhare whakamate o nga mea e ngoki ana i te puehu.
25 Outside the sword will bereave, and in the bedrooms terror will do so. It will destroy both young man and virgin, the nursing baby, and the man of gray hairs.
Ko te hoari ki waho whakamate ai, ko te wehi ki roto i nga whare; mana e huna ngatahi te taitama me te taitamahine, te mea ngote u raua ko te tangata hina.
26 I said that I would scatter them far away, that I would make the memory of them to cease from among mankind.
I mea ahau, ka whakamararatia ratou e ahau ki tawhiti, ka meinga e ahau kia mutu te mahara ki a ratou i roto i nga tangata:
27 Were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, and that their enemies would judge mistakenly, and that they would say, 'Our hand is exalted,' I would have done all this.
Me i kahore ahau te wehi i te ngakau kino o te hoa whawhai, kei pohehe ona hoariri, kei mea ratou, Kua kake to tatou ringa, kahore ano hoki a Ihowa i mea i enei mea katoa.
28 For Israel is a nation devoid of wisdom, and there is no understanding in them.
He iwi whakaarokore hoki ratou, a kahore he mohio i roto i a ratou.
29 Oh, that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their coming fate!
E, me i tupato ratou, me i mohio ki tenei, me i whakaaro ki to ratou mutunga iho!
30 How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and Yahweh had given them up?
Me pehea e whai ai te kotahi i te mano, e whati ai nga mano kotahi tekau i te tokorua, me i kahore ratou i hokona e to ratou Kamaka, i tukua atu hoki e Ihowa?
31 For our enemies' rock is not like our Rock, just as even our enemies admit.
No te mea ehara to ratou kamaka i te penei me to tatou Kamaka, na o tatou hoariri nei ano te ki.
32 For their vine comes from the vine of Sodom, and from the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of poison; their clusters are bitter.
No te mea ko a ratou waina no te waina o Horoma, no nga mara hoki o Komora: ko a ratou karepe he karepe au kawa, ko a ratou tautau kakati ana:
33 Their wine is the poison of serpents and the cruel venom of asps.
Ko ta ratou waina ko te huwhare whakamate o nga tarakona, me te ware ngau kino o nga ahipi.
34 Is not this plan secretly kept by me, sealed up among my treasures?
Kahore ianei tenei i rongoatia ki roto ki ahau, i hiritia hoki ki waenga i aku taonga?
35 Vengeance is mine to give, and recompense, at the time when their foot slips; for the day of disaster for them is near, and the things that are to come on them will hurry to happen.”
Maku nga utu e rapu, maku hoki e ea ai, a te wa e paheke ai o ratou waewae: e tata ana hoki te ra e huna ai ratou, a kei te kaika mai nga mea i whakaritea mo ratou.
36 For Yahweh will give justice to his people, and he will pity his servants. He will see that their power is gone, and no one remains, either slaves or free people.
No te mea ka whakatika a Ihowa i ta tana iwi, ka aroha hoki ki ana pononga; ina kite ia kua riro to ratou kaha, a kahore he mea i toe, i tutakina ki roto, i waiho atu ranei ki waho.
37 Then he will say, “Where are their gods, the rock in whom they took refuge?—
A ka mea ia, Kei hea o ratou atua, te kamaka i okioki atu ai ratou;
38 The gods who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up and help you; let them be your protection.
I kai nei i te ngako o a ratou patunga tapu, i inu hoki i te waina o a ratou ringihanga? Me whakatika ratou ki te awhina i a koutou, kia ai hoki ratou hei kuhunga atu mo koutou.
39 See now that I, even I, am God, and that there is no god besides me; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal, and there is no one who can save you from my might.
Na titiro, ko ahau, ina ko ahau ia, kahore hoki he atua i toku taha: e whakamate ana ahau, a e whakaora ana; i tukitukia e ahau, ko ahau ano e whakamahu ana: kahore hoki he tangata e ora ai tetahi i toku ringa.
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven and say, 'As I live forever, I will act.
No te mea e totoro atu ana toku ringa ki te rangi, me taku ki ano, I ahau e ora tonu nei,
41 When I sharpen my glittering sword, and when my hand begins to bring justice, I will render vengeance on my enemies, and I will pay back those who hate me.
Ki te whakakoia e ahau taku hoari kanapanapa, a ka mau toku ringa ki te whakariterite; ka whakahokia atu e ahau he utu ki oku hoariri, ka ea hoki i ahau ta te hunga e kino ana ki ahau.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword will devour flesh with the blood of the killed and the captives, and from the heads of the leaders of the enemy.'”
Ka whakahaurangitia e ahau aku pere ki te toto, a ka kai taku hoari i te kikokiko; ki te toto o te hunga i patua, o nga herehere, no te mahunga o nga rangatira o te hoariri.
43 Rejoice, you nations, with God's people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants; he will render vengeance on his enemies, and he will make atonement for his land, for his people.
Kia hari tahi, e nga tauiwi, me tana iwi: ka takitakina hoki e ia te toto o ana pononga, a ka whakahokia he utu ki ona hoariri, ka whakamarie ano ki tona whenua, ki tana iwi.
44 Moses came and recited all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Joshua son of Nun.
Na ka haere mai a Mohi, ka korero i nga kupu katoa o tenei waiata ki nga taringa o te iwi, a ia, me Hohua, me te tama a Nunu.
45 Then Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel.
A ka mutu ta Mohi korero i enei kupu katoa ki a Iharaira katoa:
46 He said to them, “Fix your mind on all the words that I have witnessed to you today, so that you may command your children to keep them, all the words of this law.
Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kia anga mai o koutou ngakau ki nga kupu katoa e kauwhautia atu nei e ahau ki a koutou i tenei ra; hei whakahau atu ma koutou ki a koutou tamariki kia puritia, kia mahia, nga kupu katoa o tenei ture.
47 For this is no trivial matter for you, because it is your life, and through this thing you will prolong your days in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess.”
No te mea ehara tenei i te mea noa iho ki a koutou; ko to koutou oranga hoki ia, a ma tenei mea e roa ai o koutou ra ki te whenua ka whiti atu nei koutou i Horano ki reira ki te tango.
48 Yahweh spoke to Moses on that same day and said,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi i taua tino rangi ano, i mea,
49 “Go up into this range of the mountains of Abarim, up Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, opposite Jericho. You will look at the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the people of Israel as their possession.
E piki koe i tenei maunga, i Aparimi, ki Maunga Nepo, i te whenua o Moapa, e anga atu ana ki Heriko; ka titiro atu ki te whenua o Kanaana e hoatu nei e ahau ki nga tama a Iharaira hei kainga:
50 You will die on the mountain that you go up, and you will be gathered to your people, as Aaron your fellow Israelite died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people.
A e mate koe ki runga ki te maunga e piki atu na koe, ka kohia hoki ki tou iwi; ka peratia me Arona, me tou tuakana, i mate ra ki Maunga Horo, a kohia atu ana ki tona iwi:
51 This will happen because you were unfaithful to me among the people of Israel at the waters of Meribah in Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you did not treat me with honor and respect among the people of Israel.
Mo korua hoki i hara ki ahau i waenganui o nga tama a Iharaira i nga wai o Meripa, i Karehe, i te koraha o Hini; mo korua kihai i whakatapu i ahau i waenganui o nga tama a Iharaira.
52 For you will see the land before you, but you will not go there, into the land that I am giving to the people of Israel.”
Heoi ka kite koe i te whenua i mua i tou aroaro; otiia e kore koe e tae ki reira, ki te whenua e hoatu ana e ahau mo nga tama a Iharaira.
