< Tiuteronomi 28 >
1 A tenei ake, ki te ata whakarongo koe ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ki te mau ki te mahi i ana whakahau katoa e whakahau atu nei ahau i tenei ra ki a koe, na ka whakanui a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe ki runga ake i nga iwi katoa o te whenua:
Now if thou wilt hear the voice of the Lord thy God, to do and keep all his commandments, which I command thee this day, the Lord thy God will make thee higher than all the nations that are on the earth.
2 A ka tae mai enei manaaki katoa ki a koe, ka hopu i a koe, ki te whakarongo koe ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua.
And all these blessings shall come upon thee and overtake thee: yet so if thou hear his precepts,
3 Ka manaakitia koe i roto i te pa, ka manaakitia hoki koe i te mara.
Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed in the field.
4 Ka manaakitia nga hua o tou kopu, me nga hua o tou oneone, me nga hua o au kararehe, nga uri o au kau, me nga kuao o au hipi.
Blessed shall be the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the droves of thy herds, and the folds of thy sheep.
5 Ka manaakitia tau kete me tau pokepokenga paraoa.
Blessed shall be thy barns and blessed thy stores.
6 Ka manaakitia koe ina haere mai, ka manaakitia hoki ina haere atu.
Blessed shalt thou be coming in and going out.
7 Ka meinga e Ihowa ou hoariri e whakatika ana ki a koe kia tukitukia i tou aroaro: kotahi ano te ara e puta mai ai ratou ki a koe, a e whitu nga ara e rere atu ai ratou i tou aroaro.
The Lord shall cause thy enemies, that rise up against thee, to fall down before thy face: one way shall they come out against thee, and seven ways shall they flee before thee.
8 Ka whakahau a Ihowa i te manaaki mou, mo ou whare taonga, mo nga mea katoa hoki e toro atu ai tou ringa; a ka manaaki ia i a koe ki te whenua ka homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe.
The Lord will send forth a blessing upon thy storehouses, and upon all the works of thy hands: and will bless thee in the land that thou shalt receive.
9 Ka whakatuturutia koe e Ihowa hei iwi tapu mana, ka peratia me tana i oati ai ki a koe; ki te mau koe ki nga whakahau a Ihowa, a tou Atua, ki te haere i ana huarahi.
The Lord will raise thee up to be a holy people to himself, as he swore to thee: if thou keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways.
10 A ka kite nga iwi katoa o te whenua kua huaina iho te ingoa o Ihowa ki a koe; a ka wehi i a koe.
And all the people of the earth shall see that the name of the Lord is invocated upon thee, and they shall fear thee.
11 A ka whakanui rawa a Ihowa i te pai mou, ka whai hua hoki tou kopu, ka whai hua au kararehe, ka whai hua tou oneone, i te whenua i oati ai a Ihowa ki ou matua kia hoatu ki a koe.
The Lord will make thee abound with all goods, with the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy cattle, with the fruit of thy land, which the Lord swore to thy fathers that he would give thee.
12 Ka whakatuwheratia e Ihowa ki a koe tana taonga pai, te rangi hei homai i te ua ki tou whenua i tona po ano, hei manaaki hoki i nga mahi katoa a tou ringa: a ka tuku moni atu koe ki nga iwi maha, e kore ano koe e tango i te moni tarewa.
The Lord will open his excellent treasure, the heaven, that it may give rain in due season: and he will bless all the works of thy hands. And thou shalt lend to many nations, and shalt not borrow of any one.
13 A ka meinga koe e Ihowa hei upoko, e kore hoki e waiho hei hiku; ki runga anake koe, a kahore ki raro; ki te whakarongo koe ki nga whakahau a Ihowa, a tou Atua, e whakahau atu nei ahau i tenei ra ki a koe, a ka puritia e koe, ka mahia;
And the Lord shall make thee the head and not the tail: and thou shalt be always above, and not beneath: yet so if thou wilt hear the commandments of the Lord thy God which I command thee this day, and keep and do them,
14 Ki te kore e peka atu i tetahi o nga kupu e whakahau nei ahau i tenei ra ki a koe, ki matau ranei, ki maui ranei, whai ai ki nga atua ke, mahi ai ki a ratou.
And turn not away from them neither to the right hand, nor to the left, nor follow strange gods, nor worship them.
15 Engari ki te kore koe e whakarongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, e mau hoki ki te mahi i ana whakahau katoa, i ana tikanga, e whakahau atu nei ahau i tenei ra ki a koe; na ka tae mai ki a koe, ka hopu i a koe, enei kanga katoa.
But if thou wilt not hear the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep and to do all his commandments and ceremonies, which I command thee this day, all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee.
16 Ka kanga koe i te pa, ka kanga koe i te mara.
Cursed shalt thou be in the city, cursed in the field.
17 Ka kanga tau kete me tau pokepokenga paraoa.
Cursed shall be thy barn, and cursed thy stores.
18 Ka kanga te hua o tou kopu, me te hua o tou oneone, te uri o au kau, me nga kuao o au hipi.
Cursed shall be the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, the herds of thy oxen, and the flocks of thy sheep.
19 Ka kanga koe i tou haerenga mai, ka kanga hoki koe i tou haerenga atu.
Cursed shalt thou be coming in, and cursed going out.
20 Ka tukua e Ihowa ki a koe te kanga, te tuatea me te whakatupehupehu, ki nga mea katoa e toro atu ai tou ringa ki te mahi, kia ngaro ra ano koe, kia hohoro ra ano te mate atu; mo te kino o au mahi, i whakarere nei koe i ahau.
The Lord shall send upon thee famine and hunger, and a rebuke upon all the works which thou shalt do: until he consume and destroy thee quickly, for thy most wicked inventions, by which thou hast forsaken me.
21 Ka meinga e Ihowa te mate uruta kia piri tonu ki a koe, kia whakapotoa atu ra ano koe e ia i runga i te whenua e haere atu na koe ki reira ki te tango.
May the Lord set the pestilence upon thee, until he consume thee out of the land, which thou shalt go in to possess.
22 Ka whiua koe e Ihowa ki te kohi, ki te kirika, ki te mumura, ki te toronga nui, ki te hoari, ki te tauraki, te hopurupuru; a ka whai ena i a koe a ngaro noa koe.
May the Lord afflict thee with miserable want, with the fever and with cold, with burning and with heat, and with corrupted air and with blasting, and pursue thee till thou perish.
23 A ka whakaparahi tou rangi i runga i tou mahunga, ka whakarino hoki te whenua i raro i a koe.
Be the heaven, that is over thee, of brass: and the ground thou treadest on, of iron.
24 Ka homai e Ihowa hei ua mo tou whenua te puehu me te nehu: ka rere iho taua mea i te rangi ki runga ki a koe, kia ngaro ra ano koe.
The Lord give thee dust for rain upon thy land, and let ashes come down from heaven upon thee, till thou be consumed.
25 Ka mea a Ihowa kia patua koe ki te aroaro o ou hoariri: kotahi ano te ara e haere atu ai koe ki a ia, a e whitu nga ara e rere ai koe i tona aroaro: a ka makamakaia haeretia koe i waenganui o nga rangatiratanga katoa o te whenua.
The Lord make thee to fall down before thy enemies, one way mayst thou go out against them, and flee seven ways, and be scattered throughout all the kingdoms of the earth.
26 A ka ai tou tinana mate hei kai ma nga manu katoa o te rangi, ma nga karaehe hoki o te whenua, a kahore he tangata hei whakawehi atu i a ratou.
And be thy carcass meat for all the Fowls of the air, and the beasts of the earth, and be there none to drive them away.
27 Ka patu a Ihowa i a koe ki te tuwhenua o Ihipa, ki nga pukupuku, ki te papaka, ki te waihakihaki hoki, e kore nei koe e taea te rongoa.
The Lord strike thee with the ulcer of Egypt, and the part of thy body, by which the dung is cast out, with the scab and with the itch: so that thou canst not be healed.
28 Ka patu a Ihowa i a koe ki te porangi, ki te matapo, ki te ngakau pohehe:
The Lord strike thee with madness and blindness and fury of mind.
29 A ka whawha koe i te tino awatea, ka pera me te tangata matapo e whawha nei i roto i te pouri, a e kore e whiwhi i ou huarahi: a ka waiho koe hei tukinotanga kautanga, hei murunga i nga ra katoa, a kahore he kaiwhakaora mou.
And mayst thou grope at midday as the blind is wont to grope in the dark, and not make straight thy ways. And mayst thou at all times suffer wrong, and be oppressed with violence, and mayst thou have no one to deliver thee.
30 Ka taumau koe i te wahine, a he tangata ke mana ia e moe: ka mahi koe i te whare, a e kore koe e noho ki roto: ka whakato koe i te mara waina, a e kore koe e kai i ona hua.
Mayst thou take a wife, and another sleep with her. Mayst thou build a house, and not dwell therein. Mayest thou plant a vineyard and not gather the vintage thereof.
31 Ka patua tau kau i mua i ou kanohi, a e kore koe e kai i tetahi wahi ona: ko tau kaihe ka pahuatia atu i tou aroaro, e kore e whakahokia ki a koe: ko au hipi ka hoatu ma ou hoariri, a kahore ou tangata hei whakaora i a koe.
May thy ox be slain before thee, and thou not eat thereof. May thy ass be taken away in thy sight, and not restored to thee. May thy sheep be given to thy enemies, and may there be none to help thee.
32 Ko au tama me au tamahine ka hoatu ki te iwi ke, a ka matawaia ou kanohi i te tirohanga ki a ratou, a pau noa te ra: kahore hoki he kaha i tou ringa.
May thy sons and thy daughters be given to another people, thy eyes looking on, and languishing at the sight of them all the day, and may there be no strength in thy hand.
33 Ko nga hua o tou oneone me tou uauatanga katoa, ka kainga e tetahi iwi kihai nei i mohiotia e koe; a hei tukinotanga kautanga koe, hei kurunga i nga ra katoa:
May a people which thou knowest not, eat the fruits of thy land, and all thy labours: and mayst thou always suffer oppression, and be crushed at all times.
34 A ka haurangi koe i te kitenga a ou kanohi e kite ai koe.
And be astonished at the terror of those things which thy eyes shall see:
35 Ka patu a Ihowa i a koe, i nga turi, i nga waewae, ki te tuwhenua kino e kore e taea te rongoa, i te kapu o tou waewae, a tae noa ki tou tumuaki.
May the Lord strike thee with a very sore ulcer in the knees and in the legs, and be thou incurable from the sole of the foot to the top of the head.
36 Ka whakaheke atu a Ihowa i a koe, i tou kingi hoki e meatia e koe hei kingi mou, ki te iwi kihai nei koe i mohio, koutou ko ou matua; a ka mahi koe i reira ki nga atua ke, ki te rakau, ki te kohatu.
The Lord shall bring thee, and thy king, whom thou shalt have appointed over thee, into a nation which thou and thy fathers know not: and there thou shalt serve strange gods, wood and stone.
37 A ka waiho koe hei miharotanga, hei whakatauki, hei taunu i roto i nga iwi katoa e kawea atu ai koe e Ihowa ki reira.
And thou shalt be lost, as a proverb and a byword to all people, among whom the Lord shall bring thee in.
38 He nui te purapura e kawea atu e koe ki te mara, a he iti tau e kohikohi mai ai; ka pau hoki i te mawhitiwhiti.
Thou shalt cast much seed into the ground, and gather little: because the locusts shall consume all.
39 Ka whakatokia e koe, ka mahia nga mara waina, ko te waina ia e kore e inumia e koe, e kore ano e whakiia nga hua; ka kainga hoki e te huhu.
Thou shalt plant a vineyard, and dig it, and shalt not drink the wine, nor gather any thing thereof: because it shall be wasted with worms.
40 Ka whai oriwa koe puta noa i ou rohe katoa, ko te hinu ia e kore e whakawahia e koe; no te mea ka horo nga hua o au oriwa.
Thou shalt have olive trees in all thy borders, and shalt not be anointed with the oil: for the olives shall fall off and perish.
41 Ka whanau he tama mau, he tamahine, otiia e kore e waiho mau; ka riro hoki ratou ki te herehere.
Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, and shalt not enjoy them: because they shall be led into captivity.
42 Ko au rakau katoa me nga hua o tou oneone ka pau i te mawhitiwhiti.
The blast shall consume all the trees and the fruits of thy ground.
43 Ko te manene i roto i a koe ka kaka ake ki runga i a koe, ki runga noa atu; ko koe ia ka heke iho ki raro, a ki raro noa iho.
The stranger that liveth with thee in the land, shall rise up over thee, and shall be higher: and thou shalt go down, and be lower.
44 Ko ia hei homai i te moni tarewa ki a koe, ko koe ia e kore e hoatu i te mea tarewa ki a ia: ko ia hei pane, ko koe hei hiku.
He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him. He shall be as the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
45 A ka tae enei kanga ki a koe, ka whai i a koe, ka hopu ano i a koe, kia huna ra ano koe; mou kihai i whakarongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, kihai i mau ki ana whakahau, ki ana tikanga i whakahaua e ia ki a koe;
And all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue and overtake thee, till thou perish: because thou heardst not the voice of the Lord thy God, and didst not keep his commandments and ceremonies which he commanded thee.
46 A ka piri ena ki a koe hei tohu, hei miharotanga, ki ou uri ano hoki a ake ake:
And they shall be as signs and wonders on thee, and on thy seed for ever.
47 Mou kihai i mahi ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i runga i te koa, me te ngakau hari mo te huanga o nga mea katoa:
Because thou didst not serve the Lord thy God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things:
48 Koia ka mahi koe ki ou hoariri, e tukua mai e Ihowa ki a koe, i runga i te matekai, i te matewai me te kakahukore, me te kore hoki o nga mea katoa: a ka hoatu e ia he ioka rino ki tou kaki a ngaro noa koe i a ia.
Thou shalt serve thy enemy, whom the Lord will send upon thee, in hunger, and thirst, and nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put an iron yoke upon thy neck, till he consume thee.
49 Ka hapainga mai e Ihowa ki a koe he iwi no tawhiti, no te pito o te whenua, ano he ekara e rere ana; he iwi e kore e mohiotia e koe tona reo;
The Lord will bring upon thee a nation from afar, and from the uttermost ends of the earth, like an eagle that flyeth swiftly, whose tongue thou canst not understand,
50 He iwi mata hinana, e kore e whakapai ki te kanohi o te koroheke, e kore hoki e tohu i te taitamariki:
A most insolent nation, that will shew no regard to the ancients, nor have pity on the infant,
51 A ka kainga e ia nga hua o au kararehe, te hua hoki o tou oneone, a huna noatia koe: a e kore e toe i a ia he witi mau, he waina, he hinu ranei, nga uri ranei o au kau, me nga kuao o au hipi, a meinga ra ano koe e ia kia ngaro.
And will devour the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruits of thy land: until thou be destroyed, and will leave thee no wheat, nor wine, nor oil, nor herds of oxen, nor flocks of sheep: until he destroy thee.
52 A ka whakapaea koe e ia i roto i ou kuwaha katoa, e whenuku noa ou taiepa teitei, kaha hoki, i whakamanamana ai koe, a puta noa i tou whenua: a ka whakapae ia i a koe i roto i ou kuwaha katoa, puta noa i tou whenua, i homai nei e Ihowa, e tou At ua, ki a koe.
And consume thee in all thy cities, and thy strong and high walls be brought down, wherein thou trustedst in all thy land. Thou shalt be besieged within thy gates in all thy land which the Lord thy God will give thee:
53 A ka kai koe i te hua o tou kopu, i te kikokiko o au tama, o au tamahine, e homai e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe; i te whakapaenga, i te kopaninga hoki, e kopania ai koe e ou hoariri:
And thou shalt eat the fruit of thy womb, and the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the Lord thy God shall give thee, in the distress and extremity wherewith thy enemy shall oppress thee.
54 Ko te tangata whakatarapi i roto i a koutou, whakaahu noa iho, ka he tona kanohi ki tona teina, ki te wahine hoki o tona uma, a ki te morehu o ana tamariki e toe ana ki a ia:
The man that is nice among you, and very delicate, shall envy his own brother, and his wife, that lieth in his bosom,
55 E kore ai e hoatu e ia ki tetahi o ratou tetahi wahi o te kikokiko o ana tamariki, e kainga e ia, no te mea kahore he mea e toe ana ki a ia; i te whakapaenga, i te kopaninga, e kopania ai koe e ou hoariri i roto i ou kuwaha katoa.
So that he will not give them of the flesh of his children, which he shall eat: because he hath nothing else in the siege and the want, wherewith thy enemies shall distress thee within all thy gates.
56 Ko te wahine whakatarapi i roto i a koutou, whakaahu noa iho, e kore nei e whakamatau atu ki te whakatu i te kapu o tona waewae ki te whenua, i te whakatarapi hoki, i te whakaahu, ka kino tona kanohi ki te tane o tona uma, ki tana tama, ki tana tamahine hoki;
The tender and delicate woman, that could not go upon the ground, nor set down her foot for over much niceness and tenderness, will envy her husband who lieth in her bosom, the flesh of her son, and of her daughter,
57 Ki tana potiki hoki e puta mai i waenganui o ona waewae, ki ana tamariki hoki e whanau i roto i a ia; ka kainga pukutia hoki e ia i te kore o nga mea katoa: i te whakapaenga, i te kopaninga, e kopania ai koe e ou hoariri i roto i ou kuwaha.
And the filth of the afterbirths, that come forth from between her thighs, and the children that are born the same hour. For they shall eat them secretly for the want of all things, in the siege and distress, wherewith thy enemy shall oppress thee within thy gates.
58 Ki te kahore koe e mahara kia mahia nga kupu katoa o tenei ture e tuhituhia nei ki tenei pukapuka, kia wehi koe i tenei ingoa whai kororia, ingoa whakamataku, i a IHOWA, I TOU ATUA;
If thou wilt not keep, and fulfill all the words of this law, that are written in this volume, and fear his glorious and terrible name: that is, The Lord thy God:
59 Na ka meinga e Ihowa ou whiunga kia miharotia, me nga whiunga o ou uri, he whiunga nunui, kawenga roa hoki, me nga mate ngau kino, kawenga roa hoki.
The Lord shall increase thy plagues, and the plagues of thy seed, plagues great and lasting, infirmities grievous and perpetual.
60 A ka whakapangia ano e ia ki a koe nga mate katoa o Ihipa, i wehi ra koe; a ka piri ki a koe.
And he shall bring back on thee all the afflictions of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of, and they shall stick fast to thee.
61 Me nga mate katoa me nga whiu katoa, kahore nei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o tenei ture, ka whakapangia e Ihowa ki a koe, a huna noatia koe.
Moreover the Lord will bring upon thee all the diseases, and plagues, that are not written in the volume of this law till he consume thee:
62 A ka mahue iho koutou he hunga torutoru, koutou i rite nei ki nga whetu o te rangi te tini; no te mea kihai koe i whakarongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua.
And you shall remain few in number, who before were as the stars of heaven for multitude, because thou heardst not the voice of the Lord thy God.
63 Na ka rite ki te koa o Ihowa i tana whakawhiwhinga i a koutou ki te pai, i tana whakanuinga hoki i a koutou; ka pena ano hoki te koa o Ihowa ki te mea i a koutou kia ngaro, ki te huna rawa atu i a koutou; a ka hutia atu koutou i te whenua e haer e atu nei koutou ki reira ki te tango.
And as the Lord rejoiced upon you before doing good to you, and multiplying you: so he shall rejoice destroying and bringing you to nought, so that you shall be taken away from the land which thou shalt go in to possess.
64 A ka whakamararatia koe e Ihowa ki waenga i nga iwi katoa, i tetahi pito o te whenua tae noa atu ki tetahi pito o te whenua; a ka mahi koe i reira ki nga atua ke, kahore nei koe i mohio, koutou tahi ko ou matua, ki te rakau, ki te kohatu.
The Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the farthest parts of the earth to the ends thereof: and there thou shalt serve strange gods, which both thou art ignorant of and thy fathers, wood and stone.
65 A e kore e ta tou manawa i roto i ena iwi, kahore hoki he okiokinga mo te kapu o tou waewae; engari ka homai e Ihowa ki a koe i reira he manawa hehe, he kanohi haumaruru, me te ngakau tuatea:
Neither shalt thou be quiet, even in those nations, nor shall there be any rest for the sole of thy foot. For the Lord will give thee a fearful heart, and languishing eyes, and a soul consumed with pensiveness:
66 A ka tarewa noa tou ora i tou aroaro; ka wehi koe i te po, i te ao, a kahore he tuturutanga mo tou ora;
And thy life shall be as it were hanging before thee. Thou shalt fear night and day, neither shalt thou trust thy life.
67 I te ata ka mea koe, Aue, te ahiahi noa! a i te ahiahi ka mea koe, Aue, te awatea noa! i te pawera hoki o tou ngakau e pawera ai koe, i te kitenga hoki a ou kanohi e kite ai koe.
In the morning thou shalt say: Who will grant me evening? and at evening: Who will grant me morning? for the fearfulness of thy heart, wherewith thou shalt be terrified, and for those things which thou shalt see with thy eyes.
68 A ka whakahoki a Ihowa i a koe ki Ihipa i runga kaipuke, na te huarahi i korero ra ahau ki a koe, E kore koe e kite i reira a muri ake nei: a ka hoko koutou i a koutou i reira ki o koutou hoariri hei pononga tane, hei pononga wahine, a kahore he tangata hei hoko.
The Lord shall bring thee again with ships into Egypt, by the way whereof he said to thee that thou shouldst see it no more. There shalt thou be set to sale to thy enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
