Tiuteronomi 29

1 Ko nga kupu enei o te kawenata i akona e Ihowa ki a Mohi kia whakaritea atu ki nga tama a Iharaira i te whenua o Moapa; haunga te kawenata i whakaritea e ia ki a ratou i Horepa.

These are the words of the agreement which Moses was ordered by the Lord to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, in addition to the agreement which he made with them in Horeb.

2 A ka karanga a Mohi ki a Iharaira katoa, ka mea ki a ratou, Kua kite koutou i nga mea katoa i mea ai a Ihowa ki to koutou aroaro i te whenua o Ihipa ki a Parao, ki ona tangata, ki tona whenua katoa;

And Moses said in the hearing of all Israel, You have seen all the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and to all his servants and all his land;

3 I nga whakamatauranga nunui i kite ra ou kanohi, i nga tohu, i aua merekara nunui:

The great tests which your eyes saw, and the signs and wonders:

4 He ahakoa ra, kahore ano i homai e Ihowa ki a koutou he ngakau mohio, he kanohi hei titiro, he taringa hei whakarongo a tae noa ki tenei ra.

But even to this day the Lord has not given you a mind open to knowledge, or seeing eyes or hearing ears.

5 Na ka wha tekau nga tau i arahi ai ahau i a koutou i te koraha: kahore nei i tawhitotia o koutou kakahu ki a koutou, kahore hoki tou hu i tawhitotia ki tou waewae.

For forty years I have been your guide through the waste land: your clothing has not become old on your backs, or your shoes on your feet.

6 Kahore ano koutou i kai i te taro, i inu ranei i te waina, i te wai whakahaurangi ranei: kia mohio ai koutou ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

You have had no bread, or wine, or strong drink: so that you might see that I am the Lord your God.

7 A, ka tae mai koutou ki tenei whenua, na ka puta mai a Hihona kingi o Hehepona, raua ko Oka kingi o Pahana, ki te tu i a tatou ki te riri, a patua iho e tatou:

When you came to this place, Sihon, king of Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, came out to make war against us and we overcame them:

8 Na tangohia ana e tatou to ratou oneone, a hoatu ana hei kainga mo nga Reupeni, mo nga Kari, mo tetahi taanga hoki o te iwi o Manahi.

And we took their land and gave it to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, for their heritage.

9 Na puritia ra nga kupu o tenei kawenata, mahia hoki, kia kake ai koutou i nga mea katoa e mea ai koutou.

So keep the words of this agreement and do them, so that it may be well for you in everything you do.

10 E tu ana koutou katoa i tenei ra i te aroaro o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua; o koutou upoko, o koutou iwi, o koutou kaumatua, o koutou rangatira, ara nga tangata katoa o Iharaira,

You have come here today, all of you, before the Lord your God; the heads of your tribes, the overseers, and those who are in authority over you, with all the men of Israel,

11 A koutou tamariki, a koutou wahine, me tou tangata iwi ke i roto i ou puni, te kaitata i au wahie tae noa ki te kaiutuutu wai mou:

And your little ones, your wives, and the men of other lands who are with you in your tents, down to the wood-cutter and the servant who gets water for you:

12 Kia uru ai koe ki te kawenata a Ihowa, a tou Atua, ki tana oati hoki e whakaritea nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe i tenei ra:

With the purpose of taking part in the agreement of the Lord your God, and his oath which he makes with you today:

13 Kia whakapumautia ai koe i tenei ra hei iwi mana, ko ia hoki hei Atua mou, kia rite ai ki tana i korero ai ki a koe, ki tana hoki i oati ai ki ou matua, ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa.

And so that he may make you his people today, and be your God, as he has said to you, and as he made an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

14 Na kahore ki a koutou anake taku whakarite i tenei kawenata, i tenei oati hoki;

And not with you only do I make this agreement and this oath;

15 Engari ki tenei e tu tahi nei me tatou i konei i tenei ra i te aroaro o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua, ki te mea hoki kahore i konei i a tatou i tenei ra:

But with everyone who is here with us today before the Lord our God, as well as with those who are not here:

16 E mohio ana hoki koutou ki to tatou nohoanga ki te whenua o Ihipa, ki to tatou haerenga mai hoki na waenganui o nga iwi i haere mai nei koutou;

(For you have in mind how we were living in the land of Egypt; and how we came through all the nations which were on your way;

17 A kua kite koutou i a ratou mea whakarihariha, i a ratou whakapakoko rakau, kohatu, hiriwa, koura, i waenganui i a ratou:

And you have seen their disgusting doings, and the images of wood and stone and silver and gold which were among them: )

18 Kei noho i roto i a koutou he tangata, he wahine ranei, he hapu, he iwi ranei, e tahuri ke atu ana tona ngakau i tenei ra i a Ihowa, i to tatou Atua, e haere ana ki te mahi ki nga atua o era iwi; kei puta ake i roto i a koutou he pakiaka e tupu ake ai te taru whakamate me te taru kawa;

So that there may not be among you any man or woman or family or tribe whose heart is turned away from the Lord our God today, to go after other gods and give them worship; or any root among you whose fruit is poison and bitter sorrow;

19 A tenei ake, kei tona rongonga i nga kupu o tenei kanga, na ka manaaki ia i a ia ano i roto i tona ngakau, ka mea, Ka mau te rongo ki ahau, ahakoa haere ahau i te pakeketanga o toku ngakau, ki te whakangaro tahi i te mea makuku me te mea maroke:

If such a man, hearing the words of this oath, takes comfort in the thought that he will have peace even if he goes on in the pride of his heart, taking whatever chance may give him:

20 E kore a Ihowa e tuku noa atu i tona he, engari ka paowa te riri o Ihowa me tona ngakau hae ki taua tangata, a ka tapapa iho ki runga ki a ia te kanga katoa ka tuhituhia nei ki tenei pukapuka, a ka murua atu e Ihowa tona ingoa i raro i te rangi.

The Lord will have no mercy on him, but the wrath of the Lord will be burning against that man, and all the curses recorded in this book will be waiting for him, and the Lord will take away his name completely from the earth.

21 A ka wehea ia e Ihowa mo te kino i roto i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira, ka rite ki nga kanga katoa o te kawenata ka tuhituhia nei ki tenei pukapuka o te ture:

He will be marked out by the Lord, from all the tribes of Israel, for an evil fate, in keeping with all the curses of the agreement recorded in this book of the law.

22 A ka mea to muri whakatupuranga, a koutou tamariki e tupu ake i muri i a koutou, me te tangata iwi ke hoki e haere mai i te whenua tawhiti, ua kite ratou i nga whiunga o tena whenua, i nga matenga e whakamatea ai a reira e Ihowa;

And future generations, your children coming after you, and travellers from far countries, will say, when they see the punishments of that land and the diseases which the Lord has sent on it;

23 I te whenua katoa hoki he whanariki, he tote, he ngiha, kahore e whakatokia, kahore e tupu, kahore hoki e pihi ake tetahi otaota ki reira, pera me te hunanga o Horoma raua ko Komora, o Arema raua ko Tepoimi, i huna e Ihowa i a ia e aritarita ana, e riri ana:

And that all the land is a salt and smoking waste, not planted or giving fruit or clothed with grass, but wasted like Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, on which the Lord sent destruction in the heat of his wrath:

24 Na ka mea nga iwi katoa, Na te aha a Ihowa i penei ai ki tenei whenua? He aha te tikanga o te mura o tenei riri nui?

Truly all the nations will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land? what is the reason for this great and burning wrath?

25 Katahi ka mea te tangata, Mo ratou ra i whakarere i te kawenata a Ihowa, a te Atua o o ratou matua, i whakaritea e ia ki a ratou, i tana whakaputanga mai i a ratou i te whenua o Ihipa:

Then men will say, Because they gave up the agreement of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he took them out of the land of Egypt:

26 A haere ana ratou, mahi ana ki nga atua ke, a koropiko ana ki a ratou, a ehara nei i a ia i hoatu ki a ratou:

And they went after other gods and gave them worship, gods who were strange to them, and whom he had not given them:

27 Na mura ana te riri o Ihowa ki tenei whenua, hei whakaputa ki a ratou i nga kanga katoa i tuhituhia ki tenei pukapuka:

And so the wrath of the Lord was moved against this land, to send on it all the curse recorded in this book:

28 A huarangatia atu ana ratou e Ihowa i runga i to ratou oneone, i tona riri, i te aritarita, i te whakatakariri noa iho, a maka ana ratou he whenua ke, me tenei inaianei.

Rooting them out of their land, in the heat of his wrath and passion, and driving them out into another land, as at this day.

29 Kei a Ihowa, kei to tatou Atua, nga mea ngaro: ko nga mea ia ka oti nei te whakapuaki mai, ma tatou ena, ma a tatou tamariki, ake nei, kia mahi ai tatou i nga kupu katoa o tenei ture.

The secret things are the Lord our God's: but the things which have been made clear are ours and our children's for ever, so that we may do all the words of this law.
