Tiuteronomi 12
1 Tenei ano nga tikanga me nga whakaritenga, hei pupuri ma koutou hei mahi ki te whenua e homai ana e Ihowa, e te Atua o ou matua, ki a koe kia nohoia, i nga ra katoa e ora ai i runga i te whenua.
These are the precepts and judgments, that you must do in the land, which the Lord the God of thy fathers will give thee, to possess it all the days that thou shalt walk upon the earth.
2 Whakamotitia rawatia e koutou nga wahi katoa i mahi ai nga iwi ka riro nei i a koutou ki o ratou atua, i runga i nga maunga teitei, i nga pukepuke hoki, i raro hoki i nga rakau kouru nui katoa:
Destroy all the places in which the nations, that you shall possess, worshipped their gods upon high mountains, and hills, and under every shady tree:
3 Pakarua a ratou aata, wahia kia kongakonga a ratou pou, ko a ratou Aherimi tahuna e koutou ki te ahi; a tuaina ki raro nga whakapakoko o o ratou atua, a whakangaromia rawatia atu o ratou ingoa i taua wahi.
Overthrow their altars, and break down their statues, burn their groves with fire, and break their idols in pieces: destroy their names out of those places.
4 Aua e pena ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua.
You shall not do so to the Lord your God:
5 Engari me whai ki tona nohoanga, ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, to koutou Atua, i roto i o koutou iwi katoa, kia waiho tona ingoa ki reira, me haere hoki koe ki reira:
But you shall come to the place, which the Lord your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, and to dwell in it:
6 A me kawe e koutou ki reira a koutou tahunga tinana, a koutou patunga tapu, a koutou whakatekau, nga whakahere e hapahapainga ana e o koutou ringa, a koutou ki taurangi, a koutou whakahere tuku noa, me nga whanau matamua o a koutou kau, o a kouto u hipi:
And you shall offer in that place your holocausts and victims, the tithes and firstfruits of your hands and your vows and gifts, the firstborn of your herds and your sheep.
7 A ko reira koutou kai ai, ko te aroaro o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua, a ka koa koutou ki nga mea katoa e whatoro atu ai o koutou ringa, koutou me o koutou whare, ki nga manaaki a Ihowa, a tou Atua, i a koe.
And you shall eat there in the sight of the Lord your God: and you shall rejoice in all things, whereunto you shall put your hand, you and your houses wherein the Lord your God hath blessed you.
8 Kei rite ta koutou mahi ki enei katoa e mahia nei e tatou i konei i tenei ra, he tika tonu ia tangata ki tana titiro ake:
You shall not do there the things we do here this day, every man that which seemeth good to himself.
9 Kahore nei hoki koutou kia tae noa ki te okiokinga, ki te kainga tupu e homai ana e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe.
For until this present time you are not come to refit, and to the possession, which the Lord your God will give you.
10 Engari ki te whiti koutou i Horano, a ka noho ki te whenua e homai ana e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, hei kainga tupu mo koutou, a ka meinga e ia kia okioki i o koutou hoa whawhai katoa i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, a ka noho koutou i runga i te whe nua rangatira;
You shall pass over the Jordan, and shall dwell in the land which the Lord your God will give you, that you may have rest from all enemies round about: and may dwell without any fear,
11 Katahi ka ai te wahi e whiriwhiria e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, ki reira tona ingoa noho ai, hei kawenga ma koutou i nga mea katoa e whakahaua nei e ahau ki a koutou; a koutou tahunga tinana, a koutou patunga tapu, a koutou whakatekau, me nga whak ahere hapahapai a o koutou ringa, me nga mea papai katoa o nga mea i kiia taurangitia e koutou ma Ihowa:
In the place, which the Lord your God shall choose, that his name may be therein. Thither shall you bring all the things that I command you, holocausts, and victims, and tithes, and the firstfruits of your hands: and whatsoever is the choicest in the gifts which you shall vow to the Lord.
12 A ka koa koutou ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua, koutou, a koutou tama, a koutou tamahine, a koutou pononga tane, a koutou pononga wahine, me te Riwaiti i roto i o koutou tatau, kahore hoki ia i rato tahi me koutou i tetahi wahi, i tetahi kainga tupu ranei mona.
There shall you feast before the Lord your God, you and your sons and your daughters, your menservants and maid-servants, and the Levite that dwelleth in your cities. For he hath no other part and possession among you.
13 Kia mahara kei tukua e koe au tahunga tinana ki nga wahi katoa e kite ai koe:
Beware lest thou offer thy holocausts in every place that thou shalt see:
14 Engari hei te wahi e whiriwhiria e Ihowa i roto i te tahi o ou iwi, hei reira koe tuku ai i au tahunga tinana, hei reira hoki koe mea ai i nga mea katoa e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koe.
But in the place which the Lord shall choose in one of thy tribes shalt thou offer sacrifices. and shalt do all that I command thee.
15 Otiia ka ahei koe te patu, te kai hoki he kikokiko i roto i ou tatau katoa, ki ta te hiahia katoa a tou ngakau, kia rite ki te manaaki a Ihowa, a tou Atua, i homai ai ki a koe: me kai e te poke, e te pokekore, he pera me te kahera, me te hata.
But if thou desirest to eat, and the eating of flesh delight thee, kill, and eat according to the blessing of the Lord thy God, which he hath given thee, in thy cities: whether it be unclean, that is to say, having blemish or defect: or clean, that is to say, sound and without blemish, such as may be offered, as the roe, and the hart, shalt thou eat it:
16 Engari ra ia kei kainga e koutou te toto; ringihia atu ki te whenua ano he wai.
Only the blood thou shalt not eat, but thou shalt pour it out upon the earth as water.
17 E kore koe e tukua kia kai i roto i ou tatau i nga whakatekau o tau witi, o tau waina ranei, o tau hinu ranei, i nga matamua ranei o au kau, o au hipi ranei, i tetahi ranei o nga mea e kiia taurangitia e koe, i au whakahere tuku noa ranei, i nga whakahere hapahapai ranei a tou ringa:
Thou mayst not eat in thy towns the tithes of thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, the firstborn of thy herds and thy cattle, nor any thing that thou vowest, and that thou wilt offer voluntarily, and the firstfruits of thy hands:
18 Engari me kai ena ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, hei te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, e koe, e tau tama, e tau tamahine, e tau pononga tane, e tau pononga wahine, e te Riwaiti hoki i roto i ou tatau: a ka koa koe ki te aroaro o Ihow a, o tou Atua, ki nga mea katoa e totoro atu ai ou ringa.
But thou shalt eat them before the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, thou and thy son and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and maidservant, and the Levite that dwelleth in thy cities: and thou shalt rejoice and be refreshed before the Lord thy God in all things, whereunto thou shalt put thy hand.
19 Kia tupato kei mahue i a koe te Riwaiti i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe i runga i te whenua.
Take heed thou forsake not the Levite all the time that thou livest in the land.
20 E whakanui a Ihowa, tou Atua, i tou rohe, e pera me tana i korero ai ki a koe, a ka mea koe, Ka kai kikokiko ahau, he hiahia hoki no tou ngakau ki te kai kikokiko: e kai koe i te kikokiko, i te hiahia katoa a tou ngakau.
When the Lord thy God shall have enlarged thy borders, as he hath spoken to thee, and thou wilt eat the flesh that thy soul desireth:
21 Ki te mamao rawa atu i a koe te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, kia waiho tona ingoa i reira, na patua tetahi o au kau, o au hipi ranei, kua homai na e Ihowa ki a koe, kia rite ki taku i whakahau ai ki a koe, a ka kai i roto i ou tatau, i ta te hiahia katoa a tou ngakau.
And if the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name should be there, be far off, thou shalt kill of thy herds and of thy flocks, as I have commanded thee, and shalt eat in thy towns, as it pleaseth thee.
22 Kainga ena, peratia me te kahera, me te hata e kainga ana: ko te poke, ko te pokekore, rite tahi raua te kai.
Even as the roe and the hart is eaten, so shalt thou eat them: both the clean and unclean shall eat of them alike.
23 Engari ra ia kia tino u koe kia kaua e kainga te toto: ko te toto hoki te ora; kaua hoki e kainga ngatahitia e koe te toto me te kikokiko.
Only beware of this, that thou eat not the blood, for the blood is for the soul: and therefore thou must not eat the soul with the flesh:
24 Kaua tena e kainga e koe; me riringi e koe ki te whenua ano he wai.
But thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water,
25 Kei kainga tena e koe; kia whiwhi ai koe ki te pai, koutou ko au tamariki i muri i a koe, ina mahi koe i te mea e tika ana ki ta Ihowa titiro.
That it may be well with thee and thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is pleasing in the sight of the Lord.
26 Ko au mea tapu ia, i a koe na, me au ki taurangi, me tango e koe, ka haere ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa:
But the things which thou hast sanctified and vowed to the Lord, thou shalt take, and shalt come to the place which the Lord shall choose:
27 Na ka tuku mai koe i au tahunga tinana, i te kikokiko me te toto, ki runga ki te aata a Ihowa, a tou Atua: na ko te toto o au patunga tapu me riringi ki runga ki te aata a Ihowa, a tou Atua, ko te kikokiko ia me kai e koe.
And shalt offer thy oblations the flesh and the blood upon the altar of the Lord thy God: the blood of thy victims thou shalt pour on the altar: and the flesh thou thyself shalt eat.
28 Maharatia, whakarangona enei kupu katoa e whakahau nei ahau ki a koe, kia whiwhi ai koe ki te pai, koutou ko au tamariki i muri i a koe, ake tonu atu, ina mahi koe i te mea e pai ana, e tika ana ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tou Atua.
Observe and hear all the things that I command thee, that it may be well with thee and thy children after thee for ever, when thou shalt do what is good and pleasing in the sight of the Lord thy God.
29 Ina huna e Ihowa, e tou Atua, i tou aroaro nga iwi, e haere nei koe ki reira ki te pei, a ka riro ratou i a koe, a ka noho koe ki to ratou whenua;
When the Lord thy God shall have destroyed before thy face the nations, which then shalt go in to possess, and when thou shalt possess them, and dwell in their land:
30 Kia tupato ki a koe, kei mahangatia koe kia wahi i muri i a ratou, ina whakangaromia atu ratou i tou aroaro; kei ui atu ano hoki koe ki o ratou atua, kei mea, E pehea ana te mahi a enei iwi ki o ratou atua? ka pena ano hoki ahau.
Beware lest thou imitate them, after they are destroyed at thy coming in, and lest thou seek after their ceremonies, saying: As these nations have worshipped their gods, so will I also worship.
31 Kei pera tau mahi ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua: ko nga mea katoa hoki e whakarihariha ai a Ihowa, e kino ai, ko ia ta ratou i mahi ai ki o ratou atua; na, ko a ratou tama nei ano, me a ratou tamahine e tahuna ana e ratou ki te ahi ma o ratou atua.
Thou shalt not do in like manner to the Lord thy God. For they have done to their gods all the abominations which the Lord abhorreth, offering their sons and daughters, and burning them with fire.
32 Ko nga mea katoa e whakahau ai ahau ki a koutou, ko ena ta koutou e mahara ai kia mahia: kaua e tapiritia ki etahi atu, kaua ano hoki e kinitia atu tetahi wahi.
What I command thee, that only do thou to the Lord: neither add any thing, nor diminish.
