Tiuteronomi 27

1 Na ka whakahau a Mohi ratou ko nga kaumatua o Iharaira i te iwi, ka mea, Puritia nga whakahau katoa e whakahau nei ahau ki a koutou i tenei ra.

Then Moses and the responsible men of Israel gave the people these orders: Keep all the orders which I have given you this day;

2 A, tenei ake, a te ra e whiti atu ai koutou i Horano ki te whenua e homai ana e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe, na, ka whakaara ake koe i etahi kohatu nunui mau, ka pani hoki ki te raima:

And on the day when you go over Jordan into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, put up great stones, coating them with building-paste,

3 Ka tuhituhi hoki i nga kupu katoa o tenei ture ki reira, ua whiti atu koe; kia haere atu koe ki te whenua e homai ana e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe, ki te whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi, kia pera me ta Ihowa, me ta te Atua o ou matua, i korero ai ki a koe.

And writing on them all the words of this law, after you have gone over; so that you may take the heritage which the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has said.

4 Mo reira, e whiti koutou i Horano, me whakaara enei kohatu e whakahaua nei e ahau i tenei ra ki a koutou, ki runga ki Maunga Epara ka pani hoki ki te raima.

And when you have gone over Jordan, you are to put up these stones, as I have said to you today, in Mount Ebal, and have them coated with building-paste.

5 A me hanga e koe ki reira tetahi aata ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua, hei te aata kohatu; kaua e akina iho e koe ki te rino.

There you are to make an altar to the Lord your God, of stones on which no iron instrument has been used.

6 Me hanga e koe te aata ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua, ki nga kohatu toitu: ka whakaeke ai i nga tahunga tinana ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua, ki runga:

You are to make the altar of the Lord your God of uncut stones; offering on it burned offerings to the Lord your God:

7 Patua hoki nga whakahere mo te pai, a kainga ki reira; me te koa ano ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua.

And you are to make your peace-offerings, feasting there with joy before the Lord your God.

8 Ka tuhituhi hoki i nga kupu o tenei ture ki nga kohatu, kia marama tonu.

And put on the stones all the words of this law, writing them very clearly.

9 I korero ano a Mohi ratou ko nga tohunga, ko nga Riwaiti, ki a Iharaira, i mea, Noho puku mai, a whakarongo, e Iharaira; no tenei ra i meinga ai koe hei iwi mo Ihowa, mo tou Atua.

Then Moses and the priests, the Levites, said to all Israel, Be quiet and give ear, O Israel; today you have become the people of the Lord your God.

10 Na me whakarongo koe ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, me mahi hoki i ana whakahau, me ana tikanga e whakahaua atu nei e ahau ki a koe i tenei ra.

For this cause you are to give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and do his orders and his laws which I give you this day.

11 I whakahau hoki a Mohi i te iwi i taua rangi ano, i mea,

That same day Moses said to the people,

12 Ko enei e tu ki runga ki Maunga Keritimi hei manaaki i te iwi, ua whiti atu koutou i Horano; ko Himiona, ko Riwai, ko Hura, ko Ihakara, ratou ko Hohepa, ko Pineamine:

These are to take their places on Mount Gerizim for blessing the people when you have gone over Jordan: Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Joseph and Benjamin;

13 Ko enei e tu ki runga ki Maunga Epara hei kanga; ko Reupena, ko Kara, ko Ahera, ko Hepurona, ko Rana, ko Napatari.

And these are to be on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

14 Na ka korero nga Riwaiti, ka mea, kia nui hoki te reo, ki nga tangata katoa o Iharaira.

Then the Levites are to say in a loud voice to all the men of Israel,

15 Kia kanga te tangata e hanga ana i te whakapakoko, i te mea whakairo, whakarewa ranei, e whakariharihangia nei e Ihowa, he mea mahi na te ringa o te kaimahi, e whakanoho ana hoki i taua mea ki te wahi ngaro. Ma te iwi katoa e whakahoki, e mea, A mine.

Cursed is the man who makes any image of wood or stone or metal, disgusting to the Lord, the work of man's hands, and puts it up in secret. And let all the people say, So be it.

16 Kia kanga te tangata e whakahawea ana ki tona papa, ki tona whaea ranei. Ma te iwi katoa e whakahoki, e mea, Amine.

Cursed is he who does not give honour to his father or mother. And let all the people say, So be it.

17 Kia kanga a tangata e neke atu ana i te rohe o tona hoa. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

Cursed is he who takes his neighbour's landmark from its place. And let all the people say, So be it.

18 Kia kanga te tangata e whakapohehe ana i te matapo ki te huarahi. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

Cursed is he by whom the blind are turned out of the way. And let all the people say, So be it.

Cursed is he who gives a wrong decision in the cause of a man from a strange land, or of one without a father, or of a widow. And let all the people say, So be it.

20 Kia kanga te tangata e moe ana ki te wahine a tona papa; mona i hura i te remu o tona papa. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

Cursed is he who has sex relations with his father's wife, for he has put shame on his father. And let all the people say, So be it.

21 Kia kanga te tangata e moe ana ki tetahi kararehe. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

Cursed is he who has sex relations with any sort of beast. And let all the people say, So be it.

22 Kia kanga te tangata e moe ana ki tona tuahine, ki te tamahine a tona papa, ki te tamahine ranei a tona whaea. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

Cursed is he who has sex relations with his sister, the daughter of his father or of his mother. And let all the people say, So be it.

23 Kia kanga te tangata e moe ana ki tona hungawai wahine. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

Cursed is he who has sex relations with his mother-in-law. And let all the people say, So be it.

24 Kia kanga te tangata e patu puku ana i tona hoa. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

Cursed is he who takes his neighbour's life secretly. And let all the people say, So be it.

25 Kia kanga te tangata e tango ana i te utu mo te patunga o te tangata harakore. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

Cursed is he who for a reward puts to death one who has done no wrong. And let all the people say, So be it.

26 Kia kanga te tangata e kore e mau i a ia nga kupu o tenei ture, hei mahi mana. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

Cursed is he who does not take this law to heart to do it. And let all the people say, So be it.
