Deuteronomy 27

1 'And Moses — the elders of Israel also — commandeth the people, saying, Keep all the command which I am commanding you to-day;

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 and it hath been, in the day that ye pass over the Jordan unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, that thou hast raised up for thee great stones, and plaistered them with plaister,

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 and written on them all the words of this law in thy passing over, so that thou goest in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — a land flowing with milk and honey, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee.

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 'And it hath been, in your passing over the Jordan, ye raise up these stones which I am commanding you to-day, in mount Ebal, and thou hast plaistered them with plaister,

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 and built there an altar to Jehovah thy God, an altar of stones, thou dost not wave over them iron.

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 Of complete stones thou buildest the altar of Jehovah thy God, and hast caused to ascend on it burnt-offerings to Jehovah thy 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 and sacrificed peace-offerings, and eaten there, and rejoiced before Jehovah thy 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 and written on the stones all the words of this law, well engraved.'

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

9 And Moses speaketh — the priests, the Levites, also — unto all Israel, saying, 'Keep silent, and hear, O Israel, this day thou hast become a people to Jehovah thy 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 and thou hast hearkened to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and done His commands, and His statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day.'

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 And Moses commandeth the people on that day, saying,

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

12 'These do stand, to bless the people, on mount Gerizzim, in your passing over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and 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 And these do stand, for the reviling, on mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and 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 'And the Levites have answered and said unto every man of Israel — a loud voice:

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 maketh a graven and molten image, the abomination of Jehovah, work of the hands of an artificer, and hath put [it] in a secret place, — and all the people have answered and said, 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 is making light of his father and his mother, — and all the people have said, 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 is removing his neighbour's border, — and all the people have said, 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 is causing the blind to err in the way, — and all the people have said, 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 is turning aside the judgment of fatherless, sojourner, and widow, — and all the people have said, 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 is lying with his father's wife, for he hath uncovered his father's skirt, — and all the people have said, 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 is lying with any beast, — and all the people have said, Amen.

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

22 'Cursed [is] he who is lying with his sister, daughter of his father, or daughter of his mother, — and all the people have said, 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 is lying with his mother-in-law, — and all the people have said, 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 is smiting his neighbour in secret, — and all the people have said, 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 is taking a bribe to smite a person, innocent blood, — and all the people have said, 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 doth not establish the words of this law, to do them, — and all the people have said, 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.
