Deuteronomy 32
1 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
“ʻAe ngaahi langi, mou tokanga, pea te u lea; pea ke fanongo, ʻE māmani, ki he ngaahi lea ʻa hoku ngutu.
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
ʻE tō ʻeku akonaki ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha, ʻe ʻalu hifo ʻeku ngaahi lea ʻo hangē ko e hahau, ʻo hangē ko e taumosi ki he ʻakau vaivai, ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha tuʻu mo tō ki he mohuku:
3 Because I will proclaim the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness to our God.
Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku fakaongo atu ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova: mou tuku ʻae māfimafi ki hotau ʻOtua.
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
“Ko ia ko e Maka! ʻOku haohaoa ʻa ʻene ngāue: he ko ʻene ʻulungāanga kotoa pē ʻoku angatonu: ko e ʻOtua ʻoe moʻoni, mo taʻehalaia, ʻoku angatonu mo māʻoniʻoni ia.
5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
Kuo nau fakahalaʻi ʻakinautolu, ko honau ʻila ʻoku ʻikai ko e fakaʻilonga ʻo ʻene fānau: ko e toʻutangata mioʻi mo pikopiko ʻakinautolu.
6 Do ye thus repay the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
He ʻoku pehē hoʻomou totongi kia Sihova, ʻae kakai vale mo taʻepoto? ʻIkai ko hoʻo tamai ia naʻa ne fakatau koe? ʻIkai naʻa ne ngaohi koe, mo fokotuʻumaʻu koe?
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
“Manatu ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa, tokanga ki he ngaahi taʻu ʻoe toʻutangata lahi: fehuʻi ki hoʻo tamai, pea te ne fakahā ia kiate koe; ki hoʻo kau mātuʻa, pea tenau tala kiate koe.
8 When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
ʻI he vahe atu ʻe he Fungani Māʻolunga ki he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻa honau tofiʻa, ʻi heʻene fakamovetevete ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo ʻAtaina, naʻa ne ʻai ʻae fakangataʻanga ki he kakai ʻo fakatatau ki hono lau ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
9 For the LORD’S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
He ko e tofiʻa ʻo Sihova ʻa hono kakai ko e afo ʻo hono tofiʻa ʻa Sēkope.
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
“Naʻa ne ʻilo ia ʻi he fonua lala, pea ʻi he toafa liʻaki mo ngungulu; naʻa ne tataki fano ia, ʻo ne akonakiʻi ia, naʻa ne tauhi ia ʻo hangē ko e tama ʻo hono mata.
11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
Hangē ko e ueʻi ʻe he ʻikale hono pununga, ʻo ʻōʻōfaki ki hono ʻuhiki, ʻo mafola atu hono kapakau, ʻo ne toʻo hake ʻakinautolu, ʻo fua ʻakinautolu ʻi hono kapakau:
12 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
“Naʻe pehē hono tataki ia tokotaha pe ʻe Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai ha ʻotua kehe mo ia.
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
Naʻa ne fakaheka ia ke heka ki he ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo māmani, koeʻuhi ke ne kai ʻae tupu ʻoe ngoue; pea naʻa ne ngaohi ia ke ne mimisi ʻae hone mei he maka, mo e lolo mei he makaafi;
14 Butter of cattle, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
Ko e pota mei he fanga pulu fefine, mo e huʻahuhu ʻoe sipi, mo e ngako ʻoe fanga lami, mo e fanga sipitangata ʻi he faʻahinga mei Pesani, mo e fanga kosi mo hono ngako ʻoe ngaahi tengaʻi uite; pea naʻa ke inu ʻae toto totonu ʻoe kālepi.
15 But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked: thou hast become fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God who made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
“Ka naʻe fakaʻaʻau ʻo sino ʻa Sesuluni, pea ʻakafisi: kuo ke hoko ʻo sino, kuo ke hoko ʻo matolu, kuo ʻufiʻufi koe [ʻe he sino]; pea naʻa ne toki liʻaki ʻae ʻOtua ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi ia, pea naʻa ne taʻefakaʻapaʻapa ki he Maka ʻo hono fakamoʻui.
16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations they provoked him to anger.
Naʻa nau langaʻi ʻaki hono fuaʻa ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, naʻa nau fakatupu hono houhau ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi angakovi.
17 They sacrificed to demons, not to God; to gods which they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
Naʻa nau feilaulau ki he ngaahi tēvolo, kae ʻikai ki he ʻOtua; ki he ngaahi ʻotua naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo, ko e foʻou naʻe toki tupu foʻou hake, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai manavahē hoʻomou tamai ki ai.
18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
ʻOku ke taʻetokanga ki he Maka naʻa ke tupu ai, pea kuo ke fakangaloʻi ʻae ʻOtua ʻaia naʻa ne fakafuofua koe.
19 And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
“Pea ʻi he ʻafio ʻa Sihova, naʻa ne fehiʻa [kiate kinautolu], ko e meʻa ʻi he fakatupu ʻene houhau ʻe hono ngaahi foha, mo hono ngaahi ʻofefine.
20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very perverse generation, children in whom is no faith.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, ‘Te u fufū hoku fofonga meiate kinautolu, te u vakai, pe ko e hā honau ngataʻanga: he ko e toʻutangata angatuʻu ʻaupito ʻakinautolu, ko e fānau ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tui.
21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
Kuo nau langaʻi ʻaki ʻeku fuaʻa ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻotua; kuo nau fakatupu ʻaki ʻeku houhau ʻenau ngaahi meʻa vaʻinga: pea te u ueʻi ʻaki ʻenau fuaʻa ʻekinautolu ʻoku ʻikai ko e kakai; te u fakatupu ʻenau ʻita ʻaki ʻae kakai vale.
22 For a fire is kindled in my anger, and shall burn to the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
He kuo tutu ʻae afi ʻi heʻeku houhau, pea ʻe vela ia ʻo aʻu ki loto heli, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ai ʻa māmani mo hono tupu, pea ʻe tutu ai ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend my arrows upon them.
“‘Te u fokotuʻutuʻu ʻae ngaahi kovi kiate kinautolu; te u fakaʻosi ʻa ʻeku ngaahi ngahau kiate kinautolu.
24 They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
ʻE vela ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae honge, pea ʻe fakaʻosi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae malalaʻi afi, pea ʻi he fakaʻauha fakamamahi: te u fekau ʻae kau nifo, ʻoe fanga manu kaivao kiate kinautolu, mo e kona ʻoe fanga ngata ʻoe efu.
25 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
ʻE fakaʻauha ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻituʻa, mo e ilifia ʻi loto, ʻae talavou mo e tāupoʻou fakatouʻosi, ʻae tama huhu foki mo e tangata ʻuluhinā.
26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
Ne u pehē, Te u fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi tuliki, te u fakaʻosi ʻae fakamanatu kiate kinautolu mei he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai:
27 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this.
Ka ne taʻeʻoua ʻeku manavahē ki he ʻita ʻae fili, telia naʻa fai fakafielahi ʻe honau ngaahi fili, pea telia naʻa nau lea ʻo pehē, Ko hotau nima māʻolunga, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko Sihova kuo ne fai ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē.’
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
He ko e puleʻanga masiva fakakaukau poto ʻakinautolu, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha loto faʻa ʻilo foki ʻiate kinautolu.
29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
Taumaiā kuo nau poto, koeʻuhi kenau ʻilo ʻae meʻa ni, koeʻuhi kenau tokanga ki honau ikuʻanga!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
He ʻe fēfeeʻi ha tulia ʻe he tokotaha ʻae toko afe, pea ʻe he toko ua ʻae toko mano, ʻo ka ne ʻikai fakatau ʻakinautolu ʻe honau Maka, pea tāpuni ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova?
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
He ko honau maka ʻoku ʻikai hangē ko hotau Maka, ʻio, naʻa mo hotau ngaahi fili, ʻoku nau fakamoʻoni ki ai.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
He ko ʻenau vaine ʻoku mei he vaine ʻo Sotoma, pea ʻoku mei he ngoue ʻo Komola: ko honau ngaahi kālepi, ko e kālepi ʻoe ʻahu, ʻoku kona honau ngaahi fuhi:
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
Ko ʻenau uaine ko e kona ʻoe fanga ngata lalahi, mo e kona mālohi ʻoe fanga ngata kovi ʻaupito.
34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
ʻIkai kuo fokotuʻu ʻae meʻa ni ʻiate au ʻo talifaki pe, pea pulusi maʻu ia fakataha mo ʻeku ngaahi koloa?
35 To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
ʻOku ʻaʻaku ʻae tautea mo e totongi; ʻe hekea honau vaʻe ʻi hono kuonga: he ʻoku ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻo ʻenau tuʻutāmaki, pea ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻe tō kiate kinautolu ʻoku fakatoʻotoʻo.
36 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
Koeʻuhi ʻe fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻa hono kakai, pea ʻe lolou ia koeʻuhi ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻi heʻene ʻafioʻi kuo ʻosi honau mālohi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha niʻihi kuo tāpuni, pe toe.
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
Pea ʻe pehē ʻe ia, ‘Kofaʻā koā honau ngaahi ʻotua, ko honau maka naʻa nau falala ki ai,
38 Which ate the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
ʻAia naʻe kai ʻae ngako ʻo ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau, pea inu ʻae uaine ʻo ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau inu? Tuku kenau tuʻu hake ʻo tokoni ʻakimoutolu, pea hoko ko homou kalofanga!
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
“‘Mou vakai ni Ko Au, ʻio Ko Au ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻotua mo Au: ʻoku ou tāmateʻi, pea ʻoku ou fakamoʻui; ʻoku ou taaʻi, pea ʻoku ou fakamoʻui: pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku faʻa fakamoʻui mei hoku nima.
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
He ʻoku ou hiki hake hoku nima ki langi, pea u pehē, ‘ʻOku ou moʻui ʻo taʻengata.’
41 If I shall whet my glittering sword, and my hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
Kapau te u fakamāsila ʻa ʻeku heletā ngingila, pea puke ʻe hoku nima ʻae fakamaau; te u ʻatu ʻae tautea ki hoku ngaahi fili, pea te u totongi kiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
Te u fakakona ʻeku ngaahi ngahau ʻaki ʻae toto, pea ʻe kai kakano ʻe heʻeku heletā; ʻi he toto ʻoe kakai kuo tāmateʻi, pea ʻi he kau pōpula, mei he kamataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi tautea ki he fili.
43 Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful to his land, and to his people.
ʻAe ngaahi puleʻanga, mou fiefia mo hono kakai: koeʻuhi ʻe totongi ʻe ia ʻae toto ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, pea te ne ʻatu, ʻae totongi ki hono ngaahi fili, pea ʻe fai ʻaloʻofa ia ki hono fonua, pea mo hono kakai.’”
44 And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Mōsese ʻo ne lea ʻaki kotoa pē ʻae hiva ni ʻi he telinga ʻoe kakai, ʻaia mo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni.
45 And Moses finished speaking all these words to all Israel:
Pea naʻe fakaʻosi ʻe Mōsese ʻae lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē:
46 And he said to them, Set your hearts to all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Fakatokangaʻi homou loto ki he ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fakapapau kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni, ʻaia te mou fekau ki hoʻomou fānau kotoa pē ke tokanga pea fai ki he ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni.
47 For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, where ye go over Jordan to possess it.
He ʻoku ʻikai ko e meʻa vaʻinga ia kiate kimoutolu; ka ko hoʻomou moʻui ia: pea ko e meʻa eni te mou fakatolonga ai homou ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he fonua, ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻalu ai ki he tuʻa Sioatani ke maʻu ia.”
48 And the LORD spoke to Moses that same day, saying,
Pea naʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia, ʻo pehē,
49 Go up to this mountain Abarim, to mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is opposite Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession:
“Ke ke ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga ni ko ʻApalimi, ki he moʻunga ko Nipo, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fonua ko Moape, ʻaia ʻoku hangatonu atu ki Seliko; pea vakai ki he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻaia ʻoku ou foaki ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ko honau tofiʻa:
50 And die in the mount where thou goest, and be gathered to thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered to his people:
Pea ke mate ʻi he moʻunga ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻalu hake ki ai, pea fakataha koe mo ho kakai; ʻo hangē ko e mate ʻa ho taʻokete, ko ʻElone ʻi he moʻunga ko Hoa, mo e tānaki ia ki hono kakai:
51 Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomo fai hala kiate au ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he vai ʻi Melipa Ketesi, ʻi he toafa ʻo Sini; ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomo taʻefakaʻapaʻapa kiate au ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
52 Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go there to the land which I give the children of Israel.
Te ke mamata ki he fonua ʻi ho ʻao; ka ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻalu ki ai ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku ou foaki ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”
