Tiuteronomi 7

1 E kawe a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe ki te whenua e haere atu nei koe ki reira ki te tango, a ka peia nga iwi maha i tou aroaro, te Hiti, te Kirikahi, te Amori, te Kanaani, te Perihi, te Hiwi, me te Iepuhi, nga iwi e whitu, he nui ake, he kaha ake i a koe;

And when the Lord your God shall bring you into the land, into which you go to possess it, and shall remove great nations from before you, the Chettite, and Gergesite, and Amorite, and Chananite, and Pherezite, and Evite, and Jebusite, seven nations [more] numerous and stronger than you,

2 A ka tukua ratou e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki tou aroaro, na me patu ratou e koe, me whakamoti rawa ratou: kaua e whakaritea he kawenata ki a ratou, kaua hoki ratou e tohungia.

and the Lord your God shall deliver them into your hands, then you shall strike them: you shall utterly destroy them: you shall not make a covenant with them, neither shall you pity them:

3 Kaua hoki koe e marenarena ki a ratou; ko tau tamahine kaua e tukua atu ma tana tama, ko tana tamahine hoki kaua e tangohia ma tau tama.

neither shall you contract marriages with them: you shall not give your daughter to his son, and you shall not take his daughter to your son.

4 No te mea ka whakariroia ketia e ia tau tama, kei whai i ahau, kia mahi ai ratou ki nga atua ke: a ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a koutou, ka huna whakarere hoki ia i a koe.

For he will draw away your son from me, and he will serve other gods; and the Lord will be very angry with you, and will soon utterly destroy you.

5 Engari me penei ta koutou ki a ratou; ko a ratou aata, wahia, ko a ratou pou, pakarua, ko a ratou Aherimi, tuaina, ko a ratou whakapakoko, tahuna ki te ahi:

But thus shall you do to them; you shall destroy their altars, and shall break down their pillars, and shall cut down their groves, and shall burn with fire the graven images of their gods.

6 No te mea he iwi tapu koe na Ihowa, na tou Atua: i whiriwhiria ai koe e e Ihowa, e tou Atua, kia waiho ai hei iwi motuhake mana i nga iwi katoa i te mata o te whenua.

For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; and the Lord your God chose you to be to him a peculiar people beyond all nations that [are] upon the face of the earth.

7 Ehara i te nui no koutou i nga iwi katoa i matenui ai a Ihowa ki a koutou, i whiriwhiri ai i a koutou; he iti rawa hoki koutou i nga iwi katoa;

It was not because you are more numerous than all [other] nations that the Lord preferred you, and the Lord made choice of you: for you are fewer in number than all [other] nations.

8 Engari he aroha no Ihowa ki a koutou, he whakamana hoki nana i te oati i oati ai ia ki o koutou matua, i whakaputa mai ai a Ihowa i a koutou ki te ringa kaha, i hoko ai i a koe i roto i te whare pononga, i te ringa hoki o Parao, o te kingi o Ihip a.

But because the Lord loved you, and as keeping the oath which he sware to your fathers, the Lord brought you out with a strong hand, and the Lord redeemed you from the house of bondage, out of the hand of Pharao king of Egypt.

9 Na kia mohio koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, ko te Atua ia, ko te Atua pono, e pupuri ana i te kawenata, i te atawhai mo te hunga e aroha ana ki a ia, e pupuri ana i ana whakahau a mano noa nga whakatupuranga;

You shall know therefore, that the Lord your God, he [is] God, a faithful God, who keeps covenant and mercy for them that love him, and for those that keep his commandments to a thousand generations,

10 E hoatu ana ano e ia ki to ratou aroaro te utu mo te hunga e kino ana ki a ia, ara he whakangaro mo ratou: e kore ia e whakaroa ki te tangata e kino ana ki a ia, ka hoatu ano e ia he utu ki tona aroaro.

and who recompenses them that hate him to their face, to destroy them utterly; and will not be slack with them that hate him: he will recompense them to their face.

11 Ina, puritia nga whakahau, nga tikanga, me nga whakaritenga e whakahau nei ahau ki a koe i tenei ra kia mahia.

You shall keep therefore the commands, and the ordinances, and these judgments, which I command you this day to do.

12 A tenei ake, ki te rongo koutou ki enei whakaritenga, ki te puritia, ki te mahia, na ka whakamana e Ihowa, e tou Atua, te kawenata ki a koe, me te atawhai i oati ai ia ki ou matua:

And it shall come to pass when you shall have heard these ordinances, and shall have kept and done them, that the Lord your God shall keep for you the covenant and the mercy, which he sware to your fathers.

13 A ka aroha ia ki a koe, ka manaaki i a koe, ka whakanui hoki i a koe, ka manaaki ano hoki i te hua o tou kopu, i te hua o tou oneone, i tau witi, i tau waina, i tau hinu, i nga whanau a au kau, i nga kahui o au hipi, ki te whenua i oati ai ia ki ou matua kia hoatu ki a koe.

And he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you; and he will bless the off-spring of your body, and the fruit of your land, your corn, and your wine, and your oil, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep, on the land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to you.

14 Ka manaakitia koe, nui atu i nga iwi katoa: e kore e pakoko te tane, te wahine ranei, i roto i a koe, i roto ranei i au kararehe.

You shall be blessed beyond all nations; there shall not be among you an impotent or barren one, or among your cattle.

15 Ka tangohia atu ano e Ihowa nga turorotanga katoa, e kore rawa hoki ia e whakapa ki a koe i tetahi o nga mate nanakia o Ihipa, i kite ra koe; engari ka whakapakia atu e ia ki ou hoariri katoa.

And the Lord your God shall remove from you all sickness; and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you have seen, and all that you have known, will he lay upon you; but he will lay them upon all that hate you.

16 A ka whakapaua e koe nga iwi katoa e hoatu nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe; kaua tou kanohi e tohu i a ratou: aua ano koe e mahi ki o ratou atua; he rore hoki tena mou.

And you shall eat all the spoils of the nations which the Lord your God gives you; your eye shall not spare them, and you shall not serve their gods; for this is an offense to you.

17 Ki te mea koe i roto i tou ngakau, He nui nga iwi nei i ahau; me pehea e taea ai ratou te pei e ahau?

But if you should say in your heart, This nation [is] greater than I, how shall I be able to destroy them utterly?

18 Kei wehi i a ratou, kia ata mahara ki nga mea i meatia e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a Parao, ki Ihipa katoa;

you shall not fear them; you shall surely remember all that the Lord your God did to Pharao and to all the Egyptians:

19 Ki nga whakamatau nunui i kite ra ou kanohi, ki nga tohu, ki nga merekara, ki te ringa kaha, ki te takakau maro, i tangohia mai ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua: ka peratia e Ihowa, e tou Atua, nga iwi katoa e wehi na koe.

the great temptations which your eyes have seen, those signs and great wonders, the strong hand, and the high arm; how the Lord your God brought you forth: so the Lord your God will do to all the nations, whom you fear in their presence.

20 Ka tukua atu ano e Ihowa, e tou Atua, te horonete ki a ratou, kia moti ra ano nga mea i mahue, me nga mea i ngaro atu i ou kanohi.

And the Lord your God shall send against them the hornets, until they that are left and they that are hidden from you be utterly destroyed.

21 Kaua e wehi i a ratou: ta te mea kei waenganui i a koe a Ihowa, tou Atua; he Atua nui ia, e wehingia ana.

You shall not be wounded before them, because the Lord your God in the midst of you [is] a great and powerful God.

22 A ka whakangaromia rikirikitia enei iwi e Ihowa, e tou Atua, i tou aroaro: e kore e ahei i a koe te huna wawe i a ratou, kei hira ake i a koe nga kirehe mohoao o te whenua.

And the Lord your God shall consume these nations before you by little and little: you shall not be able to consume them speedily, lest the land become desert, and the wild beasts of the field be multiplied against you.

23 Otiia ka tukua atu ratou e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki tou aroaro, a he nui te hunanga e huna ai ratou e ia, kia ngaro ra ano ratou.

And the Lord your God shall deliver them into your hands, and you shall destroy them with a great destruction, until you shall have utterly destroyed them.

24 A ka hoatu e ia o ratou kingi ki tou ringa, a ka whakangaromia e koe o ratou ingoa i raro i te rangi: e kore e tu tetahi tangata ki tou aroaro, kia ngaro ra ano ratou i a koe.

And he shall deliver their kings into your hands, and you shall destroy their name from that place; none shall stand up in opposition before you, until you shall have utterly destroyed them.

25 Ko nga whakapakoko o o ratou Atua me tahu ki te ahi: aua e minamina atu ki te hiriwa, ki te koura ranei e mau ana ki aua mea, kaua hoki e tangohia mou, kei mahangatia koe e ena mea: he mea whakarihariha hoki ena ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua.

You shall burn with fire the graven images of their gods: you shall not covet [their] silver, neither shall you take to yourself gold from them, lest you should offend thereby, because it is an abomination to the Lord your God.

26 Kaua hoki e maua te mea whakarihariha ki roto ki tou whare; kei kanga koe, kei peratia me taua mea: engari kia tino whakarihariha koe, kia tino anuanu; he mea hoki kua oti te kanga.

And you shall not bring an abomination into your house, so should you be an accursed thing like it; you shall utterly hate it, and altogether abominate it, because it is an accursed thing.
