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;
When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Emorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations, greater in number and mightier than thou;
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 when the Lord thy God shall give them up before thee, and thou dost smite them: thou shalt utterly destroy them; thou shalt not make any covenant with them, nor show mercy unto 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 shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughters shalt thou not give unto his son, and his daughter shalt thou not take unto thy 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 would turn away thy son from following me, so that they might serve other gods; and the anger of the Lord would be kindled against you, and he would destroy thee speedily.
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 ye do unto them: their altars shall ye pull down, and their statues shall ye break, and their groves shall ye cut down, and their graven images shall ye burn with fire.
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 thou art a holy people unto the Lord thy God; of thee the Lord thy God hath made choice to be unto himself a special people, above all the 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;
Not because ye are more in number than all the nations, did the Lord desire you and make choice of you; for ye are the fewest of all the 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 on account of the love of the Lord for you, and because he keepeth the oath which he hath sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bond-men, out of the hand of Pharaoh the 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;
Know then that the Eternal thy God, is the God, the faithful God, who keepeth the covenant and the mercy with those that love him and with those that keep his commandments to the thousandth generation;
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 repayeth those that hate him to their face, to destroy them; he will not delay to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
11 Ina, puritia nga whakahau, nga tikanga, me nga whakaritenga e whakahau nei ahau ki a koe i tenei ra kia mahia.
Therefore shalt thou keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command thee this day, to do them.
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 in reward for that ye will hearken to these ordinances, and keep, and do them, that the Lord thy God will keep unto thee the covenant and the kindness which he hath sworn unto thy 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 thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee; and he will bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, the increase of thy cattle, and the young of thy flocks, in the land which he hath sworn unto thy fathers to give unto thee.
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.
Blessed shalt thou be above all the nations; there shall not be a barren male or female among thee, nor among thy 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 will take away from thee all sickness; and all the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, will he not put upon thee; but he will lay them upon all those that hate thee.
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 thou shalt consume all the nations which the Lord thy God giveth unto thee; thy eye shall not look with pity upon them: and thou shalt not serve their gods; for that would be a snare unto thee.
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?
If thou shouldst say in thy heart, These nations are more numerous than I: how shall I be able to dispossess them?
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;
Thou shalt not be afraid of them; [but] thou shalt well remember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
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 proofs which thy eyes have seen, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, whereby the Lord thy God brought thee out: in this wise will the Lord thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
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.
Moreover the hornet will the Lord thy God send out against them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be 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.
Thou shalt not be affrighted at them; for the Lord thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty and terrible 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 thy God will chase out these nations before thee, little by little: thou shalt not be able to make an end of them speedily, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
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 thy God will give them up before thee, and he will bring among them a mighty confusion, until they be destroyed.
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 will give their kings into thy hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under the heavens: no man shall be able to stand up before thee, until thou have 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.
The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not covet the silver or gold that is on them, so that thou wouldst take it unto thyself, lest thou be ensnared thereby; for it is an abomination to the Lord thy 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 thou shalt not bring an abomination into thy house, lest thou become accursed like it: thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is accursed.
