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, ye heavens, and I will speak; and let the earth hear 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:
My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew; as the small rain upon the tender grass, and as the showers upon the herb.
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 ye greatness unto 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.
The Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice; a God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right 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.
Is corruption His? No; His children's is the blemish; a generation crooked and perverse.
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?
Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not He thy father that hath gotten thee? hath He not made thee, and established thee?
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 of many generations; ask thy father, and he will declare unto thee, thine elders, and they will tell thee.
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 to the nations their inheritance, when He separated the children of men, He set the borders of the peoples according to the number of the children of Israel.
9 Ko to Ihowa wahi hoki, ko tana iwi; ko Hakopa hei wahi pumau mona.
For the portion of the LORD is His people, Jacob the lot of His 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, and in the waste, a howling wilderness; He compassed him about, He cared for him, He kept 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 that stirreth up her nest, hovereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her pinions —
12 Na Ihowa anake ia i arahi, kahore hoki he atua ke i tona taha.
The LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god 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 high places of the earth, and he did eat the fruitage of the field; and He made him to suck honey out of the crag, and oil out of the flinty rock;
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.
Curd of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and he-goats, with the kidney-fat of wheat; and of the blood of the grape thou drankest foaming 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 waxed fat, and kicked — thou didst wax fat, thou didst grow thick, thou didst become gross — and he forsook God who made him, and contemned 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 roused Him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations did they provoke Him.
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 unto demons, no-gods, gods that they knew not, new gods that came up of late, which your fathers dreaded not.
18 Ko te Kamaka i whanau ai koe ka wareware i a koe, kahore hoki ou mahara ki a Atua nana koe i hanga.
Of the Rock that begot thee thou wast unmindful, and didst forget God that bore thee.
19 A ka kite a Ihowa, na anuanu ana ia ki a ratou, mo te mahi whakapataritari a ana tama, a ana tamahine.
And the LORD saw, and spurned, because of the provoking of His sons and His 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.
And He said: 'I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end shall be; for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faithfulness.
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 roused Me to jealousy with a no-god; they have provoked Me with their vanities; and I will rouse them to jealousy with a no-people; I will provoke them with a vile nation.
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 is kindled in My nostril, and burneth unto the depths of the nether-world, and devoureth the earth with her produce, and setteth ablaze 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 evils upon them; I will spend Mine arrows upon 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.
The wasting of hunger, and the devouring of the fiery bolt, and bitter destruction; and the teeth of beasts will I send upon them, with the venom of crawling things of 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.
Without shall the sword bereave, and in the chambers terror; slaying both young man and virgin, the suckling with the man of gray hairs.
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 thought I would make an end of them, I would make their memory cease from among men;
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.
Were it not that I dreaded the enemy's provocation, lest their adversaries should misdeem, lest they should say: Our hand is exalted, and not the LORD hath wrought all this.'
28 He iwi whakaarokore hoki ratou, a kahore he mohio i roto i a ratou.
For they are a nation void of counsel, and there is no understanding in them.
29 E, me i tupato ratou, me i mohio ki tenei, me i whakaaro ki to ratou mutunga iho!
If they were wise, they would understand this, they would discern their latter end.
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 should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had given them over and the LORD had delivered 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 as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
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:
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of gall, 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, and the cruel poison of asps.
34 Kahore ianei tenei i rongoatia ki roto ki ahau, i hiritia hoki ki waenga i aku taonga?
'Is not this laid up in store with Me, sealed up in My treasuries?
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, and recompense, against the time when their foot shall slip; for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that are to come upon them shall make haste.
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 judge His people, and repent Himself for His servants; when He seeth that their stay is gone, and there is none remaining, shut up or left at large.
37 A ka mea ia, Kei hea o ratou atua, te kamaka i okioki atu ai ratou;
And it is said: Where are their gods, the rock in whom they trusted;
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.
Who did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink-offering? let him rise up and help you, let him be your protection.
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, even I, am He, and there is no god with Me; I kill, and I make alive; I have wounded, and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of 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 say: As I live for ever,
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.
If I whet My glittering sword, and My hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to Mine adversaries, and will recompense them that 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 Mine arrows drunk with blood, and My sword shall devour flesh; with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the long-haired heads of the enemy.'
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.
Sing aloud, O ye nations, of His people; for He doth avenge the blood of His servants, and doth render vengeance to His adversaries, and doth make expiation for the land of 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.
And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
45 A ka mutu ta Mohi korero i enei kupu katoa ki a Iharaira katoa:
And when Moses made an end of speaking 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 unto them: 'Set your heart unto all the words wherewith I testify against you this day; that ye may charge your children therewith to observe to do 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 it is no vain thing for you; because it is your life, and through this thing ye shall prolong your days upon the land, whither ye go over the Jordan to possess it.'
48 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi i taua tino rangi ano, i mea,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses that selfsame day, saying:
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:
'Get thee up into this mountain of Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a 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 die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto 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.
Because ye trespassed against Me in the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of Meribath-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified Me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
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.
For thou shalt see the land afar off; but thou shalt not go thither into the land which I give the children of Israel.'
