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 and said, “Keep all the commandments that I command you today.

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:

On the day when you will pass over the Jordan to the land that Yahweh your God is giving you, you must set up some large 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.

You must write on them all the words of this law when you have passed over; that you may go into the land that Yahweh your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, 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.

When you have passed over the Jordan, set up these stones that I am commanding you about today, on Mount Ebal, and 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 must build an altar to Yahweh your God, an altar of stones; but you must raise no iron tool to work the stones.

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 must build the altar of Yahweh your God of unworked stones; you must offer burnt offerings on it to Yahweh 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 will sacrifice fellowship offerings and will eat there; you will rejoice before Yahweh your God.

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

You will 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 priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel and said, “Be silent and listen, Israel: Today you have become the people of Yahweh 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 must therefore obey the voice of Yahweh your God and obey his commandments and statutes that I am commanding you today.”

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

Moses commanded the people the same day and said,

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 tribes must stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people after you have passed over the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, 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 are the tribes that must stand on Mount Ebal to pronounce curses: Reuben, Gad, Asher, 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 will answer and say to all the men of Israel in 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.

'May the man be cursed who makes a carved or cast figure, an abomination to Yahweh, the work of the hands of a craftsman, and who sets it up in secret.' Then all the people must answer and say, 'Amen.'

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

'May the man be cursed who dishonors his father or his mother.' Then all the people must say, 'Amen.'

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

'May the man be cursed who removes his neighbor's landmark.' Then all the people must say, 'Amen.'

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

'May the man be cursed who makes the blind to wander away from the road.' Then all the people must say, 'Amen.'

19 Kia kanga te tangata e whakaputa ke ana i te whakawa mo te manene, mo te pani, mo te pouaru. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

'May the man be cursed who uses force to take away the justice due to a foreigner, fatherless, or widow.' Then all the people must say, 'Amen.'

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.

'May the man be cursed who lies with his father's wife, because he has taken away his father's rights.' Then all the people must say, 'Amen.'

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

'May the man be cursed who sleeps with any kind of beast.' Then all the people must say, 'Amen.'

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.

'May the man be cursed who sleeps with his sister, the daughter of his father, or with the daughter of his mother.' Then all the people must say, 'Amen.'

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

'May the man be cursed who sleeps with his mother-in-law.' Then all the people must say, 'Amen.'

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

'May the man be cursed who kills his neighbor secretly.' Then all the people must say, 'Amen.'

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.

'May the man be cursed who takes a bribe to kill an innocent person.' Then all the people must 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.

'May the man be cursed who does not confirm the words of this law, that he will obey them.' Then all the people must say, 'Amen.'
