Tiuteronomi 30

1 A tenei ake, a te wa e tae mai ai enei mea katoa ki a koe, te manaaki me te kanga, i hoatu nei e ahau ki tou aroaro, a ka mahara tou hinengaro ki aua mea i roto i nga iwi katoa e peia ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua ki reira,

“When all these things come upon you—the blessings and curses I have set before you—and you call them to mind in all the nations to which the LORD your God has banished you,

2 A ka tahuri koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, ka whakarongo ki tona reo, ki nga mea katoa e whakahau nei ahau i tenei ra ki a koe, koutou ko au tamariki, i tou ngakau katoa, i tou wairua katoa;

and when you and your children return to the LORD your God and obey His voice with all your heart and all your soul according to everything I am giving you today,

3 Katahi a Ihowa, tou Atua, ka whakaputa ke i tou parautanga, ka aroha ano ki a koe, ka tahuri hoki, ka kohikohi i a koe i roto i nga iwi katoa i whakamararatia atu ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua ki reira.

then He will restore you from captivity and have compassion on you and gather you from all the nations to which the LORD your God has scattered you.

4 Mehemea tera etahi o koutou i peia kei nga topito ra ano o te rangi, ka kohikohia mai ano koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, i reira, ka tikina ano koe e ia i reira:

Even if you have been banished to the farthest horizon, He will gather you and return you from there.

5 A ka kawea mai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki te whenua i nohoia e ou matua, ka nohoia hoki a reira e koe; a ka mahi ia i te pai ki a koe, ka mea hoki i a koe kia maha atu i ou matua.

And the LORD your God will bring you into the land your fathers possessed, and you will take possession of it. He will cause you to prosper and multiply more than your fathers.

6 A ka kokoti a Ihowa, tou Atua, i tou ngakau, i te ngakau ano hoki o ou uri, e aroha ai koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i tou ngakau katoa, i tou wairua katoa, kia ora ai koe.

The LORD your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, and you will love Him with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live.

7 A ka tukua iho e Ihowa, e tou Atua, enei kanga katoa ki ou hoariri, ki te hunga hoki e kino ana ki a koe, i whakatupu kino nei i a koe.

Then the LORD your God will put all these curses upon your enemies who hate you and persecute you.

8 Ko koe ia ka tahuri, ka whakarongo ki te reo o Ihowa, ka mahi i ana whakahau katoa, e whakahau nei ahau ki a koe i tenei ra.

And you will again obey the voice of the LORD and follow all His commandments I am giving you today.

9 A ka mea a Ihowa, tou Atua, kia nui nga mea mau i te mahi katoa a tou ringa, i te hua o tou kopu, i te hua hoki o au kararehe, i te hua hoki o tou oneone, mo te pai: no te mea ka tahuri mai ano a Ihowa, ka hari ki a koe mo te pai, ka pera me ia i hari ki ou matua:

So the LORD your God will make you abound in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your land. Indeed, the LORD will again delight in your goodness, as He delighted in that of your fathers,

10 Ki te whakarongo koe ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ki te pupuri i ana whakahau, i ana tikanga, ka tuhituhia nei ki tenei pukapuka o te ture; ki te tahuri koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i tou ngakau katoa, i tou wairua katoa.

if you obey the LORD your God by keeping His commandments and statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

11 Ko tenei ture hoki, e whakahau nei ahau i tenei ra ki a koe, ehara i te mea pakeke rawa ki a koe, i te mea tawhiti ranei.

For this commandment I give you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach.

12 Kahore i te rangi, e mea ai koe, Ko wai o tatou hei piki ki te rangi ki te tiki atu i tena mea ma tatou, hei mea kia rongo atu tatou, kia mahi ai tatou?

It is not in heaven, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will ascend into heaven to get it for us and proclaim it, that we may obey it?’

13 Kahore i tawahi o te moana, hei meatanga mau, Ko wai o tatou hei whakawhiti ki tawahi o te moana, ki te tiki i tena mea ki a tatou, hei mea kia rongo atu tatou, kia mahi ai tatou?

And it is not beyond the sea, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will cross the sea to get it for us and proclaim it, that we may obey it?’

14 Kei te tata tonu ra te kupu ki a koe, kei roto i tou waha, kei roto hoki i tou ngakau, mo tau mahi atu.

But the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may obey it.

15 Titiro, kua hoatu e ahau ki tou aroaro i tenei ra te ora me te pai, te mate me te kino;

See, I have set before you today life and goodness, as well as death and disaster.

16 I ahau e whakahau nei i a koe i tenei ra kia aroha ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kia haere i ana huarahi, kia pupuri i ana whakahau, i ana tikanga, i ana whakaritenga, kia ora ai koe, kia nui ai hoki, kia manaaki ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe ki te w henua e haere nei koe ki reira ki te tango.

For I am commanding you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, statutes, and ordinances, so that you may live and increase, and the LORD your God may bless you in the land that you are entering to possess.

17 Otiia ki te tahuri ke tou ngakau, ki te kore koe e rongo, a ka takina atu koe ki te koropiko ki nga atua ke, kia mahi hoki ki a ratou;

But if your heart turns away and you do not listen, but are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them,

18 Maku e whakaatu ki a koutou i tenei ra, ka ngaro rawa atu koutou; e kore e roa o koutou ra ki te whenua e whiti atu nei koe i Horano, e haere atu nei koe ki reira ki te tango.

I declare to you today that you will surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.

19 Ka waiho e ahau i tenei ra te rangi me te whenua hei kaititiro i a koutou, kua hoatu e ahau ki tou aroaro te ora me te mate, te manaaki me te kanga: na reira manakohia te ora, kia ora ai koutou ko ou uri:

I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore choose life, so that you and your descendants may live,

20 Aroha ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, whakarongo ki tona reo, piri atu hoki ki a ia: ko ia hoki tou ora, te whakaroanga atu mo ou ra: kia noho ai koe ki te whenua i oati ai a Ihowa ki ou matua kia hoatu ki a ratou, ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hako pa.

and that you may love the LORD your God, obey Him, and hold fast to Him. For He is your life, and He will prolong your life in the land that the LORD swore to give to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
