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.
Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, "Keep all the commandment which I command 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:
It shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Jordan to the land which the LORD your God gives you, that you shall set yourself up great stones, and plaster them with plaster:
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 you shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have passed over; that you may go in to the land which the LORD your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.
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.
It shall be, when you have passed over the Jordan, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in Mount Ebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster.
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 shall build an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones: you shall lift up no iron on them.
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 shall build the altar of the LORD your God of uncut stones; and you shall offer burnt offerings thereon 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 shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God.
8 Ka tuhituhi hoki i nga kupu o tenei ture ki nga kohatu, kia marama tonu.
You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly."
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.
Moses and the cohanim the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, "Keep silence, and listen, Israel: this day 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.
You shall therefore obey the voice of the LORD your God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you this day."
11 I whakahau hoki a Mohi i te iwi i taua rangi ano, i mea,
Moses commanded the people the same day, saying,
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 shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have passed over the 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.
These shall stand 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.
The Levites shall answer, and tell all the men of Israel with a loud voice,
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 an engraved or molten image, an abomination to the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.' All the people shall answer and say, 'Amen.'

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 doesn't confirm all the words of this law to do them.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.'"
