< 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 covenant which Yahweh commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, in addition to the covenant 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;
Moses called to all Israel, and said to them: Your eyes have seen all that Yahweh did in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land;
3 I nga whakamatauranga nunui i kite ra ou kanohi, i nga tohu, i aua merekara nunui:
the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, and those great 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 Yahweh has not given you a heart to know, eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.
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.
I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not grown old on you, and your sandals have not grown old 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 not eaten bread, neither have you drunk wine or strong drink, that you may know that I am Yahweh 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 the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we struck 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.
We took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of the Manassites.
9 Na puritia ra nga kupu o tenei kawenata, mahia hoki, kia kake ai koutou i nga mea katoa e mea ai koutou.
Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them, that you may prosper in all that 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,
All of you stand today in the presence of Yahweh your God: your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even 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:
your little ones, your wives, and the foreigners who are in the middle of your camps, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water,
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:
that you may enter into the covenant of Yahweh your God, and into his oath, which Yahweh your God 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.
that he may establish you today as his people, and that he may be your God, as he spoke to you and as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14 Na kahore ki a koutou anake taku whakarite i tenei kawenata, i tenei oati hoki;
Neither do I make this covenant and this oath with you only,
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 those who stand here with us today before Yahweh our God, and also with those who are not here with us today
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 know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the middle of the nations through which you passed;
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 abominations and their idols of wood, stone, 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;
lest there should be among you man, woman, family, or tribe whose heart turns away today from Yahweh our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that produces bitter poison;
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:
and it happen, when he hears the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, “I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart,” to destroy the moist with the dry.
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.
Yahweh will not pardon him, but then Yahweh’s anger and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book will fall on him, and Yahweh will blot out his name from under the sky.
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:
Yahweh will set him apart for evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant written 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;
The generation to come—your children who will rise up after you, and the foreigner who will come from a far land—will say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses with which Yahweh has made it sick,
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:
that all of its land is sulfur, salt, and burning, that it is not sown, doesn’t produce, nor does any grass grow in it, like the overthrow of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which Yahweh overthrew in his anger, and in 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?
Even all the nations will say, “Why has Yahweh done this to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?”
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 abandoned the covenant of Yahweh, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought 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 went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they didn’t know and that he had not given to 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:
Therefore Yahweh’s anger burned against this land, to bring on it all the curses that are written 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.
Yahweh rooted them out of their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and thrust them into another land, as it is today.”
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 belong to Yahweh our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
