Tiuteronomi 10
1 I reira ano ka korero mai a Ihowa ki ahau, Haua e koe kia rua nga papa kohatu, kia rite ki o te timatanga, ka haere ake ai ki ahau ki te maunga, hanga hoki e koe he aaka rakau.
“Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Cut two stone tablets like the first ones. And make a wooden chest to put them in. Then [bring the tablets] up to me on this mountain.
2 A maku e tuhituhi ki nga papa nga kupu o nga papa o mua, i wahia ra e koe, a me hoatu e koe ki roto ki te aaka.
I will write on those tablets the same words that I wrote on the first tablets, the ones that you broke. Then you can put them in the chest.’
3 Na hanga ana e ahau he aaka, he hitimi te rakau, taraia ana hoki e ahau nga papa kohatu e rua, rite tonu ki o mua, na ka piki ahau ki te maunga me nga papa e rua i toku ringa.
“So I made a chest. I used wood from an acacia tree to make it. Then I cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and I went up the mountain carrying the tablets.
4 Na ka tuhituhi ia ki nga papa, rite tonu ki to mua tuhituhinga, i nga ture kotahi tekau i korerotia mai e Ihowa ki a koutou i te maunga, i waenganui o te ahi, i te ra o te huihuinga; a homai ana e Ihowa ki ahau.
There Yahweh wrote on the tablets the [same] Ten Commandments [that he had written on the first tablet]. They are the commandments that he told to your ancestors from the middle of the fire on the mountain, when they were gathered [at the bottom of the mountain]. Then Yahweh gave the tablets to me,
5 Na tahuri ana ahau, heke iho ana i te maunga, a whaowhina ana nga papa ki roto ki te aaka i hanga e ahau, a kei reira na ano, ko ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki ahau.
and I turned and went down the mountain. Then, just as he had commanded, I put them in the chest that I had made. And they are still there.”
6 Na ka haere atu nga tama a Iharaira i Peerota Pene Iakana ki Mohera: a ka mate a Arona ki reira, a tanumai iho ki reira; na ko tana tama, ko Ereatara te tohunga i muri i a ia.
(Then, from the wells that belonged to the people of Jaakan, the Israeli people traveled to Moserah. There Aaron died and was buried, and his son Eleazar took his place and became the Supreme Priest.
7 I haere atu ratou i reira a Kurekora; i Kurekora atu ki Iotopata, he whenua awa wai.
From there, the Israelis traveled to Gudgodah, and from there to Jotbathah, which was a place that had many streams.
8 I taua wa ano ka wehea e Ihowa te iwi o Riwai hei amo i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, hei tu ki te aroaro o Ihowa, hei minita ki a ia, hei manaaki hoki i runga i tona ingoa a mohoa noa nei.
At that time, Yahweh (set apart/appointed) the tribe of Levi to carry the chest that contained [the tablets on which were written] the Ten Commandments, and to stand in Yahweh’s presence [in the sacred tent], to offer sacrifices, and to pray for Yahweh to bless [the people. They are still doing those things] at the present time.
9 No reira i kore ai tetahi wahi mo Riwai, tetahi kainga tuturu i roto i ona tuakana, i ona teina: ko tona kainga tuturu ko Ihowa, rite tonu ki ta Ihowa, ki ta tou Atua, i korero ai ki a ia.
That is the reason that the tribe of Levi did not receive any land like the other tribes did. What they received was the work/privilege of being Yahweh’s [priests], which is what he said that they should do.)
10 A i noho ahau i te maunga, ko nga ra he pera me o mua, e wha tekau nga ra, e wha tekau nga po; a i rongo mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau i reira; kihai a Ihowa i aro ki te whakamate i a koe.
“I stayed on the mountain 40 days and nights, just like I did the first time. [I prayed to] Yahweh, and he (answered my prayers/did what I requested) again and said that he would not destroy your ancestors.
11 A ka mea mai a Ihowa ki ahau, Whakatika, haere atu i tou huarahi i mua i te iwi; a me haere ratou ki te tango i te whenua, i oati ai ahau ki o ratou matua kia hoatu ki a ratou.
Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Continue your journey, going in front of the people, to occupy the land that I vowed your ancestors that I would give to you.’”
12 Na, he aha, e Iharaira, ta Ihowa, ta tou Atua, e mea nei i a koe? Ehara oti i te wehi i a Ihowa, i tou Atua, i te haere i ana haerenga katoa, i te aroha ki a ia, i te mahi hoki ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, tou ngakau katoa, tou wairua katoa,
“Now, you Israeli people, [I will tell you] [RHQ] what Yahweh our God requires/demands that you do. He requires you to revere him, to conduct your lives as he wants you to, to love him, and to serve him wholeheartedly [DOU],
13 I te pupuri hoki i nga whakahau a Ihowa, i ana tikanga e whakahaua nei e ahau i tenei ra ki a koe, hei pai mou?
and to obey all of his commandments [DOU] which I am giving to you today for your benefit.
14 Nana, no Ihowa, no tou Atua, te rangi me te rangi o nga rangi, te whenua me ona mea katoa.
“Do not forget that Yahweh our God owns even the sky and everything that is in it. He also owns the earth and everything that is on it.
15 Ko Ihowa anake i ahuareka ki ou matua, i aroha ki a ratou, a ko o ratou uri i muri i a ratou, ara ko koutou, tana i whiriwhiri ai o nga iwi katoa; koia ano tenei inaianei.
But [in spite of owning all those things], Yahweh loved your ancestors, and from all the people-groups [on the earth] he chose us, their descendants, and we are still his people.
16 Kotia ra e koutou te kiri matamata o o koutou ngakau, kaua hoki e whakamarokia ano o koutou kaki.
So you must stop sinning [MET] and stop being stubborn [IDM]!
17 Ko Ihowa hoki, ko tou Atua, ko ia te Atua o nga atua, te Ariki o nga ariki, he Atua nui ia, he kaha, he whakamataku, e kore nei e whakapai kanohi, e kore ano hoki e tango utu.
Yahweh our God is greater than all gods, and he is greater than all rulers. He is very powerful [DOU] and awesome. He (is impartial/does not do things that favor one (group/person) more than others), and he does not accept bribes.
18 E whakahaere ana ia i te tikanga mo te pani, mo te pouaru, e aroha ana ki te manene, e hoatu ana hoki he taro, he kakahu mona.
He makes sure that orphans and widows are treated fairly. He loves even (foreigners/people from other countries) who live among us Israeli people, and he gives them food and clothes.
19 No reira kia aroha koutou ki te manene; he manene hoki koutou i mua, i te whenua o Ihipa.
So you must love those foreigners too, because you were once foreigners when you were living in Egypt.
20 Ko Ihowa, ko tou Atua, tau e wehi ai, me mahi ano ki a ia, me awhi ki a ia, me waiho hoki tona ingoa hei oati.
Revere Yahweh our God and worship only him. (Be faithful to/Have a close relationship with) him, and say that he should punish you if you do not do what you promise.
21 Ko ia tau e whakamoemiti ai, ko ia hoki tou Atua, i mahi nei i enei mea nunui, i enei mea whakawehi, i kite ra ou kanohi.
He is the one whom you must praise. He is our God, and we have seen the great and amazing things that he has done for us.
22 Ko ou matua, i heke atu ra ki Ihipa, e whitu tekau nga tangata; na, inaianei ka oti koe te mea e Ihowa, e tou Atua, kia rite ki nga whetu o te rangi te tini.
When our ancestors, [Jacob and his family], went down to Egypt, there were only seventy of them. But now Yahweh our God has caused us to be as numerous as the stars in the sky.”
