< 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,
And it shall come to pass when all these things shall have come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before your face, and you shall call [them] to mind among all the nations, wherein the Lord shall have scattered 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 shall return to the Lord your God, and shall listen to his voice, according to all things which I charge you this day, with all your heart, and with all your soul;
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 the Lord shall heal your iniquities, and shall pity you, and shall again gather you out from all the nations, among which the Lord 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:
If your dispersion be from one end of heaven to the other, thence will the Lord your God gather you, and thence will the Lord your God take you.
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 shall bring you in from thence into the land which your fathers have inherited, and you shall inherit it; and he will do you good, and multiply you above 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.
And the Lord shall purge your heart, and the heart of your seed, to love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, 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.
And the Lord your God will put these curses upon your enemies, and upon those that hate you, who have persecuted 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 shall return and listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and shall keep his commands, all that I charge you this day.
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:
And the Lord your God shall bless you in every work of your hands, in the offspring of your body, and in the offspring of your cattle, and in the fruits of your land, because the Lord your God will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over 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 will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments, and his ordinances, and his judgments written in the book of this law, if you turn to the Lord your God 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 command which I give you this day is not grievous, neither is it far from you.
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 above, [as if there were one] saying, Who shall go up for us into heaven, and shall take it for us, and we will hear and do 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?
Neither is it beyond the sea, saying, Who will go over for us to the other side of the sea, and take it for us, and make it audible to us, and we will do 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.
The word is very near you, in your mouth, and in your heart, and in your hands to do it.
15 Titiro, kua hoatu e ahau ki tou aroaro i tenei ra te ora me te pai, te mate me te kino;
Behold, I have set before you this day life and death, good and evil.
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.
If you will listen to the commands of the Lord your God, which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his ordinances, and his judgments; then you shall live, and shall be many in number, and the Lord your God shall bless you in all the land into which you go to inherit it.
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 change, and you will not listen, and you shall go astray and worship other gods, and serve 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 this day, that you shall utterly perish, and you shall by no means live long upon the land, into which you go over Jordan to inherit it.
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 both heaven and earth to witness this day against you, I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: choose you life, that you and your seed 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.
to love the Lord your God, to listen to his voice, and cleave to him; for this [is] your life, and the length of your days, that you should dwell upon the land, which the Lord sware to your fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, to give to them.
