Tiuteronomi 32
1 Kia whai taringa mai, e nga rangi, a ka korero ahau; whakarongo mai hoki, e te whenua, ki nga kupu a toku mangai:
Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 Ka kopatapata iho taku whakaako, ano he ua, ka maturuturu iho taku kupu me te tomairangi; me te ua punehunehu ki runga i te tupu hou, me te ua ta ki runga i te tarutaru:
Let my teaching fall like rain and my speech settle like dew, like gentle rain on new grass, like showers on tender plants.
3 No te mea ka kauwhautia e ahau te ingoa o Ihowa: waiho te nui i to tatou Atua.
For I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Ascribe greatness to our God!
4 Ko te Kamaka, tika tonu tana mahi; he whakarite tikanga nei hoki ona huarahi katoa: he Atua pono, kahore ona he, he tika, he tapatahi ia.
He is the Rock, His work is perfect; all His ways are just. A God of faithfulness without injustice, righteous and upright is He.
5 Kua mahi ratou i te kino ki a ia, ehara ratou i te tamariki nana, no ratou te koha; he whakatupuranga maro, parori ke ratou.
His people have acted corruptly toward Him; the spot on them is not that of His children, but of a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Ko ta koutou utu ianei tenei ki a Ihowa, e te iwi kuware, e kore nei e mohio? Ehara ianei ia i tou matua, nana koe i hoko? Nana koe i hanga, nana hoki koe i whakau?
Is this how you repay the LORD, O foolish and senseless people? Is He not your Father and Creator? Has He not made you and established you?
7 Kia mahara ki nga ra onamata, whakaarohia nga tau o nga whakatupuranga e maha: ui atu ki tou papa, a mana e whakaatu ki a koe; ki ou kaumatua, a ma ratou e korero ki a koe.
Remember the days of old; consider the years long past. Ask your father, and he will tell you, your elders, and they will inform you.
8 I ta te Runga Rawa whakaritenga kainga mo nga iwi, i tana wehewehenga i nga tama a te tangata, i whakaturia e ia nga rohe mo nga iwi, me te whakaaro ano ki te tokomaha o nga tama a Iharaira.
When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when He divided the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.
9 Ko to Ihowa wahi hoki, ko tana iwi; ko Hakopa hei wahi pumau mona.
But the LORD’s portion is His people, Jacob His allotted inheritance.
10 I kitea ia e ia ki te whenua koraha, ki te tahora tuhea e hamama kau ana; i taiwhiotia ia e ia, i atawhaitia, i tiakina hoki e ia, ano ko te whatupango o tona kanohi:
He found him in a desert land, in a barren, howling wilderness; He surrounded him, He instructed him, He guarded him as the apple of His eye.
11 Ano he ekara e whakakorikori ana i tana ohanga, e whakapaho ana i runga i ana pi, e roharoha ana ia i ona parirau, e tango ana i a ratou, e waha ana hoki i a ratou i runga i ona parirau:
As an eagle stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, He spread His wings to catch them and carried them on His pinions.
12 Na Ihowa anake ia i arahi, kahore hoki he atua ke i tona taha.
The LORD alone led him, and no foreign god was with him.
13 Nana hoki ia i whakaeke ki nga wahi tiketike o te whenua, hei hoiho mona, a i kai ia i nga hua o te mara; a nana ia i ngongo ai i te honi i roto i te kamaka, i te hinu hoki i roto i te kohatu kiripaka;
He made him ride on the heights of the land and fed him the produce of the field. He nourished him with honey from the rock and oil from the flinty crag,
14 I te pata o te kau, i te waiu hipi, i te ngako reme, i nga hipi toa o te momo o Pahana, i nga koati, me te taupa o nga whatukuhu o te witi; a i inu koe i te waina, i te toto o te karepe.
with curds from the herd and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs, with rams from Bashan, and goats, with the choicest grains of wheat. From the juice of the finest grapes you drank the wine.
15 Nawai a ka whai kiko a Iehuruna, a whana mai ana: kua whai kiko koe, kua tetere, kua ki i te ngako; a whakarerea iho e ia te Atua nana ia i hanga, whakahawea ana ki te Kamaka o tona whakaoranga.
But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked— becoming fat, bloated, and gorged. He abandoned the God who made him and scorned the Rock of his salvation.
16 Na ratou i mea kia hae ia ki nga atua ke, whakapataritari ana ratou i a ia ki nga mea whakarihariha kia riri.
They provoked His jealousy with foreign gods; they enraged Him with abominations.
17 Ko a ratou patunga tapu i tapaea e ratou ma nga rewera, ehara nei i te Atua, ma nga atua kihai nei ratou i mohio, he mea puta hou ake nonaianei, kihai nei i wehingia e o koutou matua.
They sacrificed to demons, not to God, to gods they had not known, to newly arrived gods, which your fathers did not fear.
18 Ko te Kamaka i whanau ai koe ka wareware i a koe, kahore hoki ou mahara ki a Atua nana koe i hanga.
You ignored the Rock who brought you forth; you forgot the God who gave you birth.
19 A ka kite a Ihowa, na anuanu ana ia ki a ratou, mo te mahi whakapataritari a ana tama, a ana tamahine.
When the LORD saw this, He rejected them, provoked to anger by His sons and daughters.
20 Na ka mea, Ka huna ahau i toku mata i a ratou, ka titiro atu ahau he aha he mutunga mo ratou: he whakatupuranga parori ke hoki ratou, he tamariki kahore he pono i roto.
He said: “I will hide My face from them; I will see what will be their end. For they are a perverse generation— children of unfaithfulness.
21 Na ratou ahau i mea kia hae ki te mea ehara i te Atua; i whakapataritari kia riri ki a ratou mea horihori: na maku ratou e mea kia hae ki te hunga ehara i te iwi; maku ratou e whakapataritari kia riri ki te iwi poauau.
They have provoked My jealousy by that which is not God; they have enraged Me with their worthless idols. So I will make them jealous by those who are not a people; I will make them angry by a nation without understanding.
22 Ka ngiha hoki te ahi i ahau e riri ana, ka toro atu ki te takere ra ano o te reinga, pau ake hoki te whenua, tahuna ana nga turanga o nga maunga. (Sheol h7585)
For a fire has been kindled by My anger, and it burns to the depths of Sheol; it consumes the earth and its produce, and scorches the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Ka opehia e ahau nga kino ki runga ki a ratou; ka whakapotoa aku pere ki a ratou.
I will heap disasters upon them; I will spend My arrows against them.
24 Ka hemo ratou i te matekai, ka pau hoki i te hana o te wera me te hunanga nui whakaharahara; maku hoki e tuku iho te niho o nga kararehe ki a ratou, me te huwhare whakamate o nga mea e ngoki ana i te puehu.
They will be wasted from hunger and ravaged by pestilence and bitter plague; I will send the fangs of wild beasts against them, with the venom of vipers that slither in the dust.
25 Ko te hoari ki waho whakamate ai, ko te wehi ki roto i nga whare; mana e huna ngatahi te taitama me te taitamahine, te mea ngote u raua ko te tangata hina.
Outside, the sword will take their children, and inside, terror will strike the young man and the young woman, the infant and the gray-haired man.
26 I mea ahau, ka whakamararatia ratou e ahau ki tawhiti, ka meinga e ahau kia mutu te mahara ki a ratou i roto i nga tangata:
I would have said that I would cut them to pieces and blot out their memory from mankind,
27 Me i kahore ahau te wehi i te ngakau kino o te hoa whawhai, kei pohehe ona hoariri, kei mea ratou, Kua kake to tatou ringa, kahore ano hoki a Ihowa i mea i enei mea katoa.
if I had not dreaded the taunt of the enemy, lest their adversaries misunderstand and say: ‘Our own hand has prevailed; it was not the LORD who did all this.’”
28 He iwi whakaarokore hoki ratou, a kahore he mohio i roto i a ratou.
Israel is a nation devoid of counsel, with no understanding among them.
29 E, me i tupato ratou, me i mohio ki tenei, me i whakaaro ki to ratou mutunga iho!
If only they were wise, they would understand it; they would comprehend their fate.
30 Me pehea e whai ai te kotahi i te mano, e whati ai nga mano kotahi tekau i te tokorua, me i kahore ratou i hokona e to ratou Kamaka, i tukua atu hoki e Ihowa?
How could one man pursue a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?
31 No te mea ehara to ratou kamaka i te penei me to tatou Kamaka, na o tatou hoariri nei ano te ki.
For their rock is not like our Rock, even our enemies concede.
32 No te mea ko a ratou waina no te waina o Horoma, no nga mara hoki o Komora: ko a ratou karepe he karepe au kawa, ko a ratou tautau kakati ana:
But their vine is from the vine of Sodom and from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poisonous; their clusters are bitter.
33 Ko ta ratou waina ko te huwhare whakamate o nga tarakona, me te ware ngau kino o nga ahipi.
Their wine is the venom of serpents, the deadly poison of cobras.
34 Kahore ianei tenei i rongoatia ki roto ki ahau, i hiritia hoki ki waenga i aku taonga?
“Have I not stored up these things, sealed up within My vaults?
35 Maku nga utu e rapu, maku hoki e ea ai, a te wa e paheke ai o ratou waewae: e tata ana hoki te ra e huna ai ratou, a kei te kaika mai nga mea i whakaritea mo ratou.
Vengeance is Mine; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; for their day of disaster is near, and their doom is coming quickly.”
36 No te mea ka whakatika a Ihowa i ta tana iwi, ka aroha hoki ki ana pononga; ina kite ia kua riro to ratou kaha, a kahore he mea i toe, i tutakina ki roto, i waiho atu ranei ki waho.
For the LORD will vindicate His people and have compassion on His servants when He sees that their strength is gone and no one remains, slave or free.
37 A ka mea ia, Kei hea o ratou atua, te kamaka i okioki atu ai ratou;
He will say: “Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge,
38 I kai nei i te ngako o a ratou patunga tapu, i inu hoki i te waina o a ratou ringihanga? Me whakatika ratou ki te awhina i a koutou, kia ai hoki ratou hei kuhunga atu mo koutou.
which ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up and help you; let them give you shelter!
39 Na titiro, ko ahau, ina ko ahau ia, kahore hoki he atua i toku taha: e whakamate ana ahau, a e whakaora ana; i tukitukia e ahau, ko ahau ano e whakamahu ana: kahore hoki he tangata e ora ai tetahi i toku ringa.
See now that I am He; there is no God besides Me. I bring death and I give life; I wound and I heal, and there is no one who can deliver from My hand.
40 No te mea e totoro atu ana toku ringa ki te rangi, me taku ki ano, I ahau e ora tonu nei,
For I lift up My hand to heaven and declare: As surely as I live forever,
41 Ki te whakakoia e ahau taku hoari kanapanapa, a ka mau toku ringa ki te whakariterite; ka whakahokia atu e ahau he utu ki oku hoariri, ka ea hoki i ahau ta te hunga e kino ana ki ahau.
when I sharpen My flashing sword, and My hand grasps it in judgment, I will take vengeance on My adversaries and repay those who hate Me.
42 Ka whakahaurangitia e ahau aku pere ki te toto, a ka kai taku hoari i te kikokiko; ki te toto o te hunga i patua, o nga herehere, no te mahunga o nga rangatira o te hoariri.
I will make My arrows drunk with blood, while My sword devours flesh— the blood of the slain and captives, the heads of the enemy leaders.”
43 Kia hari tahi, e nga tauiwi, me tana iwi: ka takitakina hoki e ia te toto o ana pononga, a ka whakahokia he utu ki ona hoariri, ka whakamarie ano ki tona whenua, ki tana iwi.
Rejoice, O heavens, with Him, and let all God’s angels worship Him. Rejoice, O nations, with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His children. He will take vengeance on His adversaries and repay those who hate Him; He will cleanse His land and His people.
44 Na ka haere mai a Mohi, ka korero i nga kupu katoa o tenei waiata ki nga taringa o te iwi, a ia, me Hohua, me te tama a Nunu.
Then Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song in the hearing of the people.
45 A ka mutu ta Mohi korero i enei kupu katoa ki a Iharaira katoa:
When Moses had finished reciting all these words to all Israel,
46 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kia anga mai o koutou ngakau ki nga kupu katoa e kauwhautia atu nei e ahau ki a koutou i tenei ra; hei whakahau atu ma koutou ki a koutou tamariki kia puritia, kia mahia, nga kupu katoa o tenei ture.
he said to them, “Take to heart all these words I testify among you today, so that you may command your children to carefully follow all the words of this law.
47 No te mea ehara tenei i te mea noa iho ki a koutou; ko to koutou oranga hoki ia, a ma tenei mea e roa ai o koutou ra ki te whenua ka whiti atu nei koutou i Horano ki reira ki te tango.
For they are not idle words to you, because they are your life, and by them you will live long in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”
48 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi i taua tino rangi ano, i mea,
On that same day the LORD said to Moses,
49 E piki koe i tenei maunga, i Aparimi, ki Maunga Nepo, i te whenua o Moapa, e anga atu ana ki Heriko; ka titiro atu ki te whenua o Kanaana e hoatu nei e ahau ki nga tama a Iharaira hei kainga:
“Go up into the Abarim Range to Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab across from Jericho, and view the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites as their own possession.
50 A e mate koe ki runga ki te maunga e piki atu na koe, ka kohia hoki ki tou iwi; ka peratia me Arona, me tou tuakana, i mate ra ki Maunga Horo, a kohia atu ana ki tona iwi:
And there on the mountain that you climb, you will die and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people.
51 Mo korua hoki i hara ki ahau i waenganui o nga tama a Iharaira i nga wai o Meripa, i Karehe, i te koraha o Hini; mo korua kihai i whakatapu i ahau i waenganui o nga tama a Iharaira.
For at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you broke faith with Me among the Israelites by failing to treat Me as holy in their presence.
52 Heoi ka kite koe i te whenua i mua i tou aroaro; otiia e kore koe e tae ki reira, ki te whenua e hoatu ana e ahau mo nga tama a Iharaira.
Although you shall see from a distance the land that I am giving the Israelites, you shall not enter it.”
