Deuteronomy 27

1 Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, “Keep all the commandment which I command 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 It shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Jordan to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, that you shall set yourself up great stones, and coat them with plaster.

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:

3 You shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have passed over, that you may go in to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised you.

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.

4 It shall be, when you have crossed over the Jordan, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you today, on Mount Ebal, and you shall coat them with plaster.

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 There you shall build an altar to Yahweh your God, an altar of stones. You shall not use any iron tool on them.

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 You shall build Yahweh your God’s altar of uncut stones. You shall offer burnt offerings on it to Yahweh your God.

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 You shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there. You shall rejoice before Yahweh your God.

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 You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly.”

Pea te ke tohi ki he ngaahi maka ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni ke ʻilongofua.”

9 Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel, saying, “Be silent and listen, Israel! Today you have become the people of Yahweh your 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 You shall therefore obey Yahweh your God’s voice, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command 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 Moses commanded the people the same day, saying,

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ki he kakai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo pehē,

12 “These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have crossed over the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

“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 These shall stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

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 With a loud voice, the Levites shall say to all the men of Israel,

Pea ʻe lea ʻae kau Livai, ʻo tala ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi ki he kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli,

15 ‘Cursed is the man who makes an engraved or molten image, an abomination to Yahweh, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.’ All the people shall answer and say, ‘Amen.’

‌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 ‘Cursed is he who dishonors his father or his mother.’ All the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

Ke malaʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai fakaʻapaʻapa ki heʻene tamai pe ki heʻene faʻē. Pea ʻe lea pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.

17 ‘Cursed is he who removes his neighbor’s landmark.’ All the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

Ke malaʻia ia ʻoku ne hiki ʻae fakangata fonua ʻo hono kaungāʻapi. Pea ʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.

18 ‘Cursed is he who leads the blind astray on the road.’ All the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

Ke malaʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku ne fakahēʻi ʻae kui mei he hala. Pea ʻe lea pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.

19 ‘Cursed is he who withholds justice from the foreigner, fatherless, and widow.’ All the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

Ke malaʻia ia ʻoku ne fakahalaʻi ʻae fakamaauʻi ʻoe muli, mo e tamai mate, mo e uitou. Pea ʻe lea pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.

20 ‘Cursed is he who lies with his father’s wife, because he dishonors his father’s bed.’ All the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

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 ‘Cursed is he who lies with any kind of animal.’ All the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

Ke malaʻia ia ʻoku mohe mo ha manu. Pea ʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.

22 ‘Cursed is he who lies with his sister, his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter.’ All the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

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 ‘Cursed is he who lies with his mother-in-law.’ All the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

Ke malaʻia ia ʻoku mohe mo ʻene faʻē ʻi he fono. Pea ʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.

24 ‘Cursed is he who secretly kills his neighbor.’ All the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

Ke malaʻia ia ʻoku ne taaʻi fakalilolilo ʻa hono kaungāʻapi. Pea ʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.

25 ‘Cursed is he who takes a bribe to kill an innocent person.’ All the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

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 ‘Cursed is he who doesn’t uphold the words of this law by doing them.’ All the people shall say, ‘Amen.’”

Ke malaʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te ne fakamoʻoni ʻae lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni ke fai ki ai. Pea ʻe lea pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, ʻEmeni.
