< 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:
If you listen carefully to the voice of Yahweh your God so as to keep all his commandments that I am commanding you today, Yahweh your God will set you above all the other nations of 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.
All these blessings will come on you and overtake you, if you listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.
3 Ka manaakitia koe i roto i te pa, ka manaakitia hoki koe i te mara.
Blessed will you be in the city, and blessed will you be 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 will be the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your ground, and the fruit of your beasts, the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.
5 Ka manaakitia tau kete me tau pokepokenga paraoa.
Blessed will be your basket and your kneading trough.
6 Ka manaakitia koe ina haere mai, ka manaakitia hoki ina haere atu.
Blessed will you be when you come in, and blessed will you be when you go 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.
Yahweh will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck down before you; they will come out against you one way but will flee before you seven ways.
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.
Yahweh will command the blessing to come on you in your barns and in all that you put your hand to; he will bless you in the land that he is giving you.
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.
Yahweh will establish you as a people that is set apart for himself, as he has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of Yahweh your 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.
All the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by the name of Yahweh, and they will be afraid of you.
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.
Yahweh will make you very prosperous in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your cattle, in the fruit of your ground, in the land that he swore to your fathers to give you.
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.
Yahweh will open to you his storehouse of the heavens to give the rain for your land at the right time, and to bless all the work of your hand; you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow.
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;
Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail; you will be only above, and you will never be beneath, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God that I am commanding you today, so as to observe and to 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 if you do not turn away from any of the words that I am commanding you today, to the right hand or to the left, so as to go after other gods to serve 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 you do not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, so as to keep all his commandments and his statutes that I am commanding you today, then all these curses will come on you and overtake you.
16 Ka kanga koe i te pa, ka kanga koe i te mara.
Cursed will you be in the city, and cursed will you be in the field.
17 Ka kanga tau kete me tau pokepokenga paraoa.
Cursed will be your basket and your kneading trough.
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 will be the fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.
19 Ka kanga koe i tou haerenga mai, ka kanga hoki koe i tou haerenga atu.
Cursed will you be when you come in, and cursed will you be when you go 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.
Yahweh will send on you curses, confusion, and rebukes in all that you put your hand to, until you are destroyed, and until you perish quickly because of your wicked actions by which you will have 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.
Yahweh will make the plague cling to you until he destroys you from off the land that you are going 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.
Yahweh will attack you with infectious diseases, with fever, with inflammation, and with drought and blistering heat, and with scorching winds and mildew. These will pursue you until you perish.
23 A ka whakaparahi tou rangi i runga i tou mahunga, ka whakarino hoki te whenua i raro i a koe.
Your skies that are over your head will be bronze, and the earth that is under you will be 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.
Yahweh will make the rain of your land into powder and dust; from the heavens will it come down on you, until you are destroyed.
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.
Yahweh will cause you to be struck down before your enemies; you will go out one way against them but will flee before them seven ways. You will be tossed to and fro among 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.
Your dead body will be food to all the birds of the heavens and to the beasts of the earth; there will be no one to frighten 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.
Yahweh will attack you with the boils of Egypt and with ulcers, scurvy, and itch, from which you cannot be healed.
28 Ka patu a Ihowa i a koe ki te porangi, ki te matapo, ki te ngakau pohehe:
Yahweh will attack you with madness, with blindness, and with mental confusion.
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.
You will grope about at noonday like the blind grope in the darkness, and you will not prosper in your ways; you will be always oppressed and robbed, and there will be no one to save you.
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.
You will become engaged to a woman, but another man will seize her and rape her. You will build a house but not live in it; you will plant a vineyard but not enjoy its fruit.
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.
Your ox will be slain before your eyes, but you will not eat its meat; your donkey will be forcibly taken away from before you and will not be restored to you. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and you will have no one to aid you.
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.
Your sons and your daughters will be given to other peoples; your eyes will look for them the entire day, but will fail with longing for them. There will be no strength in your 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:
The harvest of your land and of all your labors—a nation that you do not know will eat it up; you will always be oppressed and crushed,
34 A ka haurangi koe i te kitenga a ou kanohi e kite ai koe.
so that you will become insane by what you have to see happen.
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.
Yahweh will attack you in the knees and legs with severe boils from which you cannot be cured, from the bottom of your feet to the top of your 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.
Yahweh will take you and the king whom you will place over yourself to a nation that you have not known, neither you nor your ancestors; there you will worship other gods of 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.
You will become a source of horror, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples where Yahweh will lead you away.
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.
You will take much seed out into the field, but will gather little seed in, for the locusts will consume it.
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.
You will plant vineyards and cultivate them, but you will neither drink any of the wine, nor even gather in the grapes, for worms will eat them.
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.
You will have olive trees within all your territory, but you will not rub any of the oil on yourself, for your olive trees will drop their fruit.
41 Ka whanau he tama mau, he tamahine, otiia e kore e waiho mau; ka riro hoki ratou ki te herehere.
You will have sons and daughters, but they will not remain yours, for they will go into captivity.
42 Ko au rakau katoa me nga hua o tou oneone ka pau i te mawhitiwhiti.
All your trees and the fruit of your ground—the locusts will take them over.
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 foreigner who is among you will rise up above you higher and higher; you yourself will come down lower and 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 will lend to you, but you will not lend to him; he will be the head, and you will 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;
All these curses will come on you and will pursue and overtake you until you are destroyed. This will happen because you did not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, so as to keep his commandments and his regulations that he commanded you.
46 A ka piri ena ki a koe hei tohu, hei miharotanga, ki ou uri ano hoki a ake ake:
These curses will be on you as signs and wonders, and on your descendants forever.
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 you did not worship Yahweh your God with joyfulness and gladness of heart when you were in prosperity,
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.
therefore will you serve the enemies that Yahweh will send against you; you will serve them in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in poverty. He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until he destroys you.
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;
Yahweh will bring a nation against you from far away, from the ends of the earth, like an eagle flies to its victim, a nation whose language you do 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 nation with a fierce face that does not respect the aged and does not show favor to the young.
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.
They will eat the young of your cattle and the fruit of your land until you are destroyed. They will leave for you no grain, new wine, or oil, no young of your cattle or of your flock, until they have caused you to perish.
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.
They will besiege you in all your city gates, until your high and fortified walls come down everywhere in your land, walls in which you had trusted. They will besiege you within all your city gates throughout all the land that Yahweh your God had given you.
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:
You will eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, whom Yahweh your God gave you, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemies will put upon you.
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 who is tender and very delicate among you—he will be envious of his brother and his own dear wife, and of whatever children he has left.
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 he will not give to any of them the flesh of his own children that he is going to eat, because he will have nothing left for himself in the siege and in the distress which your enemy will put upon you within all your city 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 among you, who would not venture to put the bottom of her foot on the ground for delicateness and tenderness—she will be envious of her own dear husband, 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 of her own newborn that comes out from between her legs, and of the children whom she will bear. She will eat them in private for lack of anything else, during the siege and in the distress which your enemy will put upon you within your city 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 you do not keep all the words of this law that are written in this book, so as to honor this glorious and fearful name, Yahweh your 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.
then Yahweh will make your plagues terrible, and those of your descendants; they will be great plagues, of long duration, and severe diseases, of long duration.
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.
He will bring on you again all the diseases of Egypt that you were afraid of; they will cling to you.
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.
Also every sickness and plague that is not written in the book of this law, those also Yahweh will bring on you until you are destroyed.
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.
You will be left few in number, although you were like the stars of the heavens in number, because you did not listen to the voice of Yahweh your 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.
As Yahweh once rejoiced over you in doing you good, and in multiplying you, so he will rejoice over you in making you perish and in destroying you. You will be plucked off the land that you are going into 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.
Yahweh will scatter you among all peoples from the one end of the earth to the other end of the earth; there you will worship other gods that you have not known, neither you nor your ancestors, gods of 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:
Among these nations will you find no ease, and there will be no rest for the bottoms of your feet; instead, Yahweh will give you there a trembling heart, failing eyes, and a soul that mourns.
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;
Your life will hang in doubt before you; you will fear every night and day and will have no certainty at all in your 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 you will say, 'I wish it were evening!' and in the evening you will say, 'I wish it were morning!' because of the fear in your hearts and the things your eyes will have to see.
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.
Yahweh will bring you into Egypt again by ships, by the route about which I had said to you, 'You will not see Egypt again.' There you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will purchase you.”
