Deuteronomy 26
1 'And it hath been, when thou comest in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance, and thou hast possessed it, and dwelt in it,
A tenei ake, a te wa e tae ai koe ki te whenua e homai e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe hei kainga tuturu, a ka riro a reira i a koe, a ka noho koe ki reira;
2 that thou hast taken of the first of all the fruits of the ground which thou dost bring in out of thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, and hast put [it] in a basket, and gone unto the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle there.
Na ka tango koe i etahi o nga mea matamua o nga hua katoa o te whenua, e mauria mai e koe i tou oneone, ka homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe; a me whawhao e koe ki te kete, ka haere ai ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, kia waiho tona ingoa ki reira.
3 'And thou hast come in unto the priest who is in those days, and hast said unto him, I have declared to-day to Jehovah thy God, that I have come in unto the land which Jehovah hath sworn to our fathers to give to us;
Na ka haere koe ki te tohunga e minita ana i aua ra, ka mea ki a ia, Tenei ahau te korero nui nei i tenei ra ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kua tae mai ahau ki te whenua i oati ai a Ihowa ki o tatou matua kia homai ki a tatou.
4 and the priest hath taken the basket out of thy hand, and placed it before the altar of Jehovah thy God.
Na ka tango te tohunga i te kete i tou ringa, ka whakatakoto hoki ki mau o te aata a Ihowa, a tou Atua.
5 'And thou hast answered and said before Jehovah thy God, A perishing Aramaean [is] my father! and he goeth down to Egypt, and sojourneth there with few men, and becometh there a nation, great, mighty, and numerous;
Ko reira koe oho atu ai, mea ai ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, Ko toku matua he Hiriani, i ora noa i te mate; a haere ana ia ki raro, ki Ihipa, a noho ana i reira, he hunga torutoru; na meinga ana ia hei iwi nui i reira, he kaha, he tini:
6 and the Egyptians do us evil, and afflict us, and put on us hard service;
Na tukinotia ana matou e nga Ihipiana, whakawhiua ana matou, a he kino ta ratou whakamahinga i a matou:
7 and we cry unto Jehovah, God of our fathers, and Jehovah heareth our voice, and seeth our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression;
A ka tangi matou ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o o matou matua, na whakarongo mai ana a Ihowa ki to matou reo, titiro mai ana ki to matou whakawhiunga, ki to matou whakamahinga, ki to matou tukinotanga:
8 and Jehovah bringeth us out from Egypt, by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great fear, and by signs, and by wonders,
Na whakaputaina mai ana matou e Ihowa i Ihipa ki te ringa kaha, ki te takakau maro tonu, me te whakamataku nui, me nga tohu, me nga merekara:
9 and he bringeth us in unto this place, and giveth to us this land — a land flowing with milk and honey.
A kawea mai ana matou e ia ki tenei wahi, a homai ana ki a matou tenei whenua, he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi.
10 'And now, lo, I have brought in the first of the fruits of the ground which thou hast given to me, O Jehovah; — and thou hast placed it before Jehovah thy God, and bowed thyself before Jehovah thy God,
Na, titiro, kau kawea mai nei e ahau nga hua matamua o te whenua i homai nei e koe, e Ihowa, ki ahau. Katahi koe ka whakatakoto atu ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, me te koropiko ano ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua:
11 and rejoiced in all the good which Jehovah thy God hath given to thee, and to thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the sojourner who [is] in thy midst.
Ka koa hoki ki nga mea pai katoa i homai e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koutou ko tou whare, a koe, me te Riwaiti me te manene i roto i a koe.
12 'When thou dost complete to tithe all the tithe of thine increase in the third year, the year of the tithe, then thou hast given to the Levite, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, and they have eaten within thy gates, and been satisfied,
Ka pae nga whakatekau katoa o au hua i te toru o nga tau, i te tau whakatekau, me hoatu e koe ki te Riwaiti, ki te manene, ki te pani, ki te pouaru, kia kainga i roto i ou kuwaha, a ka makona;
13 and thou hast said before Jehovah thy God, I have put away the separated thing out of the house, and also have given it to the Levite, and to the sojourner, and to the orphan, and to the widow, according to all Thy command which Thou hast commanded me; I have not passed over from Thy commands, nor have I forgotten.
A ka mea koe ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua Kua poto mai i ahau i roto i toku whare nga mea tapu, kua hoatu ano e ahau ki te Riwaiti, ki te manene, ki te pani, ki te pouaru, kua rite i ahau au whakahau katoa i whakahau ai koe ki ahau; kahore a hau i whakapaheke i tetahi o au whakahau, kahore ano i wareware:
14 I have not eaten in mine affliction of it, nor have I put away of it for uncleanness, nor have I given of it for the dead; I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah my God; I have done according to all that Thou hast commanded me;
Kihai i kainga e ahau tetahi wahi i ahau e noho taua ana; kihai i tangohia e ahau tetahi wahi mo te poke, kihai ano hoki i hoatu hei mea tupapaku: i whakarongo ahau ki te reo o Ihowa, o toku Atua, rite tonu aku mahi ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua e koe ki ahau.
15 look from Thy holy habitation, from the heavens, and bless Thy people Israel, and the ground which Thou hast given to us, as Thou hast sworn to our fathers — a land flowing [with] milk and honey.
Titiro iho i tou nohoanga tapu, i te rangi, manaakitia hoki tau iwi, a Iharaira, me te oneone i homai nei e koe ki a matou, pera me tau i oati ai ki o matou matua, he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu e te honi.
16 'This day Jehovah thy God is commanding thee to do these statutes and judgments; and thou hast hearkened and done them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
No tenei ra a Ihowa, tou Atua, i whakahau ai i a koe, kia mahia enei tikanga, me enei whakaritenga: na puritia e koe, mahia, e tou ngakau katoa, e tou wairua katoa.
17 Jehovah thou hast caused to promise to-day to become thy God, and to walk in His ways, and to keep His statutes, and His commands, and His judgments, and to hearken to His voice.
Kua whakaae koe i tenei ra ki a Ihowa hei Atua mou, kia haere i ana huarahi, kia whakaritea hoki ana tikanga, me ana whakahau, me ana whakaritenga, kia rongo ano hoki ki tona reo:
18 'And Jehovah hath caused thee to promise to-day to become His people, a peculiar treasure, as He hath spoken to thee, and to keep all His commands;
A kua whakaae hoki a Ihowa ki a koe i tenei ra hei iwi mana, motuhake rawa, hei pera me tana i korero ai ki a koe, hei pupuri hoki i ana whakahau katoa;
19 so as to make thee uppermost above all the nations whom He hath made for a praise, and for a name, and for beauty, and for thy being a holy people to Jehovah thy God, as He hath spoken.
Hei mea kia teitei ake koe i nga iwi katoa i hanga e ia, te whakamoemiti, te ingoa, te kororia; kia waiho hoki koe hei iwi tapu ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua, hei pera me tana i korero ai.
