Tiuteronomi 13

1 Ki te whakatika ake i roto i a koutou he poropiti, he moemoea ranei, a ka homai e ia ki a koe he tohu, he merekara ranei,

If there shall arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and give thee a sign or a wonder,

2 A ka puta mai te tohu, te merekara ranei, i korero ai ia ki a koe, i mea ai, Tatou ka whai ki nga atua ke, kihai nei i mohiotia e koe, ka mahi atu hoki ki a ratou;

And the sign or the wonder shall come to pass, of which he spoke to thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;

3 Kei whakarongo koe ki nga korero a taua poropiti, a taua tangata moemoea ranei: e whakamatautau ana hoki a Ihowa, to koutou Atua, i a koutou, kia mohio ai e whakapaua ranei o koutou ngakau katoa, o koutou wairua katoa ki te aroha ki a Ihowa, ki t o koutou Atua.

Thou shalt not hearken to the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God testeth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

4 Me haere koutou i muri i a Ihowa, i to koutou Atua, ko ia ta koutou e wehi ai, me pupuri ana whakahau, me whakarongo hoki ki tona reo, me mahi ano ki a ia, me awhi ki a ia.

Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave to him.

5 A ko taua poropiti, ko taua tangata moemoea ranei, me whakamate; mona i takahi i a Ihowa, i to koutou Atua, i tangohia mai ai koutou i te whenua o Ihipa, i hokona ai koe i roto i te whare pononga, kia takina koe ki wahi ke i te huarahi i whakahau ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, ki a koe kia haerea. Penei ka whakakorea e koe te kino i roto i a koe.

And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou remove the evil from the midst of thee.

6 Ki te whakawaia pukutia koe e tou teina, e te tama ranei a tou whaea, e tau tama ranei, e tau tamahine ranei, e tou hoa wahine ranei i tou uma, e tou hoa ranei e rite ana ki tou ngakau, ki te mea ia, Tatou ka haere, ka mahi ki nga atua ke, kihai nei koe i mohio, a koe, ou matua ranei;

If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, who is as thy own soul, shall entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;

7 Ki etahi o nga atua o nga iwi i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha, e tata ana ki a koe, kei tawhiti atu ranei i a koe, i tetahi pito o te whenua puta noa ki tetahi pito o te whenua;

Namely, of the gods of the people who are around you, near to thee, or far off from thee, from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth;

8 Kei whakaae koe ki a ia, kei whakarongo ranei ki a ia; kaua ano hoki tou kanohi e aroha ki a ia, kaua e tohu i a ia, kaua hoki e huna i a ia:

Thou shalt not consent to him, nor hearken to him; neither shall thy eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:

9 Engari patua rawatia kia mate; ko tou ringa te pa wawe atu ki a ia hei whakamate i a ia, muri iho ko te ringa o te iwi katoa.

But thou shalt surely kill him; thy hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

10 A me aki ia e koe ki te kohatu, kia mate; mona i whai kia whakapeautia koe i a Ihowa, i tou Atua, i tangohia mai ai koe i te whenua o Ihipa, i te whare pononga.

And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he shall die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

11 A ka rongo a Iharaira katoa, ka wehi, e kore hoki e mahi i te mea kino pena i tena i roto i a koutou i muri iho.

And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.

12 Ki te rongo korero koe mo tetahi o ou pa, e homai e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe hei nohoanga, e korerotia ana,

If thou shalt hear in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,

13 Kua haere atu etahi, he tama na Periara, i roto i a koe, kua whakapeau ke hoki i nga tangata o to ratou pa, kua mea, Tatou ka haere, ka mahi atu ki nga atua ke, kihai nei i mohiotia e koutou;

Certain men, corrupt men, have gone out from among you, and have seduced the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;

14 Na me rapu e koe, me ore atu, me te ui marie ano; na, ki te mea he pono, he tuturu rawa te korero, kei te mahia tena mea whakarihariha i roto i a koe;

Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it is truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you;

15 Tukitukia rawatia nga tangata o taua pa ki te mata o te hoari, whakamotitia rawatia a reira, me nga mea katoa i roto, me ana kararehe, ki te mata o te hoari.

Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is in it, and its cattle, with the edge of the sword.

16 Ko nga taonga katoa hoki o reira me hoki ki waenganui o tona huarahi, ka tahu ai koe i te pa, me ona taonga katoa, ki te ahi, a rupeke noa, hei mea ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua: me waiho hoki a reira hei puranga mo ake tonu atu; kaua e hanga a muri a ke nei.

And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of its street, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil, every bit of it, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shalt not be built again.

17 Kei piri hoki ki tou ringa tetahi wahi o te mea kua oti nei te kanga: kia tahuri mai ai a Ihowa i te muranga o tona riri, ka whakaputa mai he atawhai ki a koe, kia atawhai ai hoki ia i a koe, kia whakanui ai i a koe, kia rite ai ki tana i oati a i ki ou matua;

And there shall cleave nothing of the cursed thing to thy hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn to thy fathers;

18 Ina whakarongo koe ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ina pupuri i ana whakahau katoa, e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koe i tenei ra, kia mahi i te mea e tika ana ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tou Atua.

When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.
