Tiuteronomi 8
1 Kia mahara kia mahia nga whakahau katoa e whakahaua nei e ahau i tenei ra, kia ora ai koutou, kia tini ai, kia tae ai hoki, kia whiwhi ai ki te whenua i oati ra a Ihowa ki a koutou matua.
“Nanzelelani njalo lilandele yonke imilayo engilinika yona lamuhla, ukuze liphile njalo lande khona lizangena lithumbe ilizwe uThixo alinika okhokho benu ethembisa ngesifungo.
2 Kia mahara hoki ki te ara katoa i arahi ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe i te koraha, i enei tau e wha tekau, kia iro ai koe, hei whakamatautau hoki i a koe, kia mohiotia ai nga aha noa i roto i tou ngakau, ka pupuri ranei koe i ana whakahau, kahore ranei.
Likhumbule ukuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu walikhokhela njani lidabula inkangala okweminyaka engamatshumi amane, elichumisa lokulilinga ukuthi abone okwakusezinhliziyweni zenu, ukuthi kambe lizayigcina imiyalo yakhe na loba hayi.
3 A whakawhiua ana koe e ia, whakamatea ana ki te kai, whangaia ana ki te mana, kihai nei i mohiotia e koe, kihai ano i mohiotia e ou matua; kia whakamohio ai ia i a koe e kore te tangata e ora i te taro kau, engari ma nga kupu katoa e puta mai ana i te mangai o Ihowa ka ora ai te tangata.
UThixo walichumisa, walenza lalamba kanti njalo walipha ukudla okuyimana, ukudla lokho laboyihlo abangazange bakwazi, kuyikulifundisa ukuthi umuntu kaphili ngesinkwa kuphela zwi kodwa ngalo lonke ilizwi eliphuma emlonyeni kaThixo.
4 Kihai tou kakahu i tawhitotia ki runga ki a koe, kihai ano hoki tou waewae i pupuhi, i enei tau e wha tekau.
Izigqoko zenu aziguganga njalo lezinyawo zenu azivuvukanga kuleyo minyaka engamatshumi amane.
5 A ka mahara koe i roto i tou ngakau, e papaki ana a Ihowa, tou Atua i a koe, e pera ana me te tangata e papaki ana i tana tama.
Gcinani lokhu ezinhliziyweni zenu lazi ukuthi njengendoda ikhuza indodana yayo, ngokufananayo uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uyalikhuza.
6 Na kia mau ki nga whakahau a Ihowa, a tou Atua, haere hoki i ana huarahi me te wehi ano ki a ia.
Gcinani imilayo kaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu lihambe endleleni yakhe njalo limkhonze.
7 Na te mea e kawe ana a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe ki te whenua pai, ki te whenua o nga awa wai, o nga puna, o nga wai hohonu, e pupu mai ana i nga raorao, i nga maunga;
Ngakho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ulisa elizweni elihle, ilizwe elilezifula leziziba zamanzi, intombo zamanzi ezimpompoza ezigodini lasemaqaqeni;
8 Ki te whenua o te witi, o te parei, o te waina, o te piki, o te pamekaranete: ki te whenua o te hinu oriwa, o te honi;
elizweni lengqoloyi lebhali, amavini lemikhiwa, amaphomegranathi, amafutha ama-oliva lenyosi;
9 Ki te whenua e kore ai e onge tau taro e kai ai koe, e kore rawa ai koe e hapa i tetahi mea; ki te whenua he rino ona kohatu, ka keri ano koe i te parahi i roto i ona maunga.
elizweni lapha okungasayi kusweleka khona isinkwa njalo aliyikuswela lutho; elizweni lapho amatshe akhona ayinsimbi kanti njalo lingemba ikhopha emaqaqeni.
10 A ka kai koe, ka makona, na kia whakapai atu koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, mo te whenua pai kua homai e ia ki a koe.
Lizakuthi selidlile lasutha, lidumise uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngelizwe elihle alinike lona.
11 Kia tupato kei wareware ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kei kore koe e pupuri i ana whakahau, i ana whakaritenga, i ana tikanga, e whakahaua nei e ahau ki a koe i tenei ra:
Linanzelele ukuthi alilibali uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, lingehluleki ukugcina imilayo yakhe, imithetho kanye lezimiso engilinika zona lamuhla.
12 Kei kai koe, a ka makona, kei hanga hoki i nga whare papai, a noho iho;
Kungenzeka ukuthi lithi selidlile lasutha, selakhe izindlu ezinhle lahlala lazinza,
13 A ka tini haere au kau, me au hipi, ka nui hoki te hiriwa me te koura ki a koe, a ka tini haere nga mea katoa ki a koe;
njalo imihlambi yezifuyo zenu leyezimvu zenu isiqhelile yanda kuze kuthi lesiliva legolide lenu selilinengi kanye lakho konke okwenu sekukunengi kuphindwe kanenginengi,
14 Na ka kake tou ngakau, a ka wareware koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i whakaputa mai ra i a koe i te whenua o Ihipa, i te whare pononga;
liziqhenye ezinhliziyweni zenu, libe selikhohlwa uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, yena owalikhupha eGibhithe, walikhupha elizweni lobugqili.
15 I arataki hoki i a koe i tena koraha nui, whakamataku, i reira nei nga nakahi tu a ahi me nga kopiona, me te whenua matewai, kahore o reira wai; i whakaputa mai ano i te wai mou i roto i te kohatu kiripaka;
UThixo walikhokhela enkangala enkulu eyesabekayo, eyomileyo engelamanzi, elobuthi benyoka lenkume. Walinika amanzi aphuma edwaleni.
16 I whangai i a koe i te koraha ki te mana, kihai nei i mohiotia e ou matua; kia iro ai koe, kia whakamatautau ai hoki ia i a koe, a kia pai ai te tukunga iho ki a koe;
Walinika imana ukuba lidle enkangala, into abangazange bayazi oyihlo, ukulichumisa njalo lokulilinga ukuze kuthi ekucineni kulihambele kuhle.
17 A ka mea koe i roto i tou ngakau, Na toku kaha, na te uaua hoki o toku ringa, i whiwhi ai ahau ki enei taonga.
Mhlawumbe lingathi, ‘Ngokuzimisela kwami langamandla ezandla zami sengizidalele inotho.’
18 Engari kia mahara ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, nana hoki i homai te kaha ki a koe i whiwhi ai ki te taonga; kia mana ai tana kawenata i oati ai ia ki ou matua, a ka rite nei inaianei.
Kodwa khumbulani uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngoba kunguye olipha amandla okunotha, lokho kuyikho ukugcwaliseka kwesivumelwano sakhe, sona afunga kubokhokho benu, okulokhu kunjalo lalamuhla.
19 Na ki te wareware koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, a ka whai ki nga atua ke, ka mahi ki a ratou, ka koropiko atu hoki ki a ratou, maku e ki atu ki a koutou i tenei ra, ka ngaro rawa koutou.
Nxa lizake likhohlwe uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu beselilandela abanye onkulunkulu libakhonze libakhothamele, ngiyalifungela lamuhla ukuthi lizabhujiswa ngempela.
20 Ka rite ki nga iwi e whakangaromia nei e Ihowa i to koutou aroaro, ka pera ano koutou, ka ngaro; mo koutou kihai i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua.
Njengezizwe uThixo azibhubhisa phambi kwenu lani lizabhujiswa nguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.”
