Tiuteronomi 9

1 Whakarongo, e Iharaira: ko a tenei ra koe whiti ai i Horano, a ka tae, ka riro i a koe nga iwi nunui ake, kaha ake i a koe, nga pa nunui hoki, he mea taiepa a tutuki noa ki te rangi,

Heare O Israel, Thou shalt passe ouer Iorden this day, to goe in and to possesse nations greater and mightier then thy selfe, and cities great and walled vp to heauen,

2 He iwi nunui, he iwi roroa, ko nga tama a te Anakimi, e mohio na koe, kua rongo na koe i te pepeha mo ratou, Ko wai e tu ki te aroaro o nga tama a Anaka?

A people great and tall, euen the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak?

3 Na kia mohio koe i tenei ra, ko Ihowa, ko tou Atua, ko ia kei tou aroaro e haere ana ano he ahi e kai ana; mana ratou e huna, mana hoki e whakamate to ratou tara ki tou aroaro: a ka peia ratou e koe, ka meinga kia hohoro to ratou ngaro, ka rite k i ta Ihowa i korero ai ki a koe.

Vnderstand therefore that this day ye Lord thy God is he which goeth ouer before thee as a consuming fire: he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them downe before thy face: so thou shalt cast them out and destroy them suddenly, as the Lord hath said vnto thee.

4 Kei korero koe i roto i tou ngakau, ua pei a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a ratou i tou raorao, kei mea, He tika noku i kawe mai ai a Ihowa i ahau ki te tango i tenei whenua; kahore, no te kino o enei iwi i pei ai a Ihowa i a ratou i tou aroaro.

Speake not thou in thine heart (after that the Lord thy God hath cast them out before thee) saying, For my righteousnesse the Lord hath brought me in, to possesse this land: but for the wickednesse of these nations the Lord hath cast them out before thee.

5 Ehara i te tika nou, i te tapatahi ranei o tou ngakau, i haere ai koe ki te tango i to ratou whenua; engari he kino no enei iwi i pei ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a ratou i tou aroaro, he mea hoki kia mana ai te kupu i oati ai a Ihowa ki ou matua, ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa.

For thou entrest not to inherite their lande for thy righteousnesse, or for thy vpright heart: but for the wickednesse of those nations, the Lord thy God doth cast them out before thee, and that he might performe the worde which the Lord thy God sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iacob.

6 Ina, kia mohio koe, ehara i te tika nou e hoatu nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, tenei whenua pai ki a koe, kia tangohia e koe; no te mea he iwi kaki maro koe.

Vnderstand therefore, that ye Lord thy God giueth thee not this good land to possesse it for thy righteousnes: for thou art a stifnecked people.

7 Kia mahara, kei wareware ki au whakataritari ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i te koraha: no te ra iho ano i haere mai ai koe i te whenua o Ihipa, a tae noa mai koutou ki tenei wahi, e tutu ana koutou ki a Ihowa.

Remember, and forget not, howe thou prouokedst the Lord thy God to anger in the wildernesse: since the day that thou diddest depart out of the land of Egypt, vntill ye came vnto this place ye haue rebelled against the Lord.

8 I Horepa ano hoki, i whakapataritari koutou ki a Ihowa kia riri, a riri ana a Ihowa ki a koutou, mea ana kia huna koutou.

Also in Horeb ye prouoked the Lord to anger so that the Lord was wroth with you, euen to destroy you.

9 I toku pikinga ki te maunga, ki te tiki i nga papa kohatu, i nga papa o te kawenata i whakaritea e Ihowa ki a koutou, na ka noho ahau i te maunga, e wha tekau nga ra, e wha tekau nga po; kahore ahau i kai taro, kahore i inu wai.

When I was gone vp into the mount, to receiue the tables of stone, the tables, I say, of the couenant, which the Lord made with you: and I abode in the mount fourtie daies and fourtie nights, and I neither ate bread nor yet dranke water:

10 A homai ana e Ihowa ki ahau nga papa kohatu e rua, he mea tuhituhi na te ringa o te Atua; a i reira e mau ana, he mea tuhituhi, nga kupu katoa i korero ai a Ihowa ki a koutou i te maunga, i waenganui o te ahi, i te ra o te huihuinga.

Then the Lord deliuered me two tables of stone, written with the finger of God, and in them was conteyned according to all the wordes which the Lord had said vnto you in the mount out of the middes of the fire, in the day of the assemblie.

11 Na wai a ka taka nga ra e wha tekau me nga po e wha tekau, na ka homai e Ihowa ki ahau nga papa kohatu e rua, ara nga papa o te kawenata.

And when the fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes were ended, the Lord gaue me the two tables of stone, the tables, I say, of the couenant.

12 A ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, Whakatika, hohoro te heke atu i konei; ko tou iwi hoki i kawea mai nei e koe i Ihipa kua taka ki te he; kua hohoro ratou te peka ke i te huarahi i kiia ai e ahau ki a ratou; kua hanga e ratou he whakapakoko, he mea whak arewa mo ratou.

And the Lord said vnto me, Arise, get thee downe quickly from hence: for thy people which thou hast brought out of Egypt, haue corrupt their wayes: they are soone turned out of the way, which I commanded them: they haue made them a molten image.

13 I korero mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea, Kua kite ahau i tenei iwi, nana, he iwi kaki maro ratou:

Furthermore, the Lord spake vnto me, saying, I haue seene this people, and beholde, it is a stifnecked people.

14 Tukua ahau ki te huna i a ratou, ki te horoi atu hoki i to ratou ingoa i raro i te rangi: a maku koe e mea hei iwi kaha ake, hei iwi nui ake i a ratou.

Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and put out their name from vnder heaue, and I wil make of thee a mightie nation, and greater then they be.

15 Heoi tahuri ana ahau, heke iho ana i te maunga, ko te maunga hoki ka tonu i te ahi; a ko nga papa e rua o te kawenata i oku ringa e rua.

So I returned, and came downe from the Mount (and the Mount burnt with fire, and ye two Tables of the couenant were in my two handes)

16 Na, ko taku tirohanga atu, na, kua hara koutou ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua; kua hanga koutou i te kuao kau ma koutou, he mea whakarewa: kua hohoro koutou te peka ke i te huarahi i kiia e Ihowa ki a koutou.

Then I looked, and beholde, ye had sinned against the Lord your God: for ye had made you a molten calfe, and had turned quickly out of the way which the Lord had commanded you.

17 Na ka mau ahau ki nga papa e rua, panga atu ana e ahau i roto i oku ringa e rua, a wahia iho aua mea e ahau ki to koutou aroaro.

Therefore I tooke the two Tables, and cast them out of my two handes, and brake them before your eyes.

18 Na takoto ana ahau ki te aroaro o Ihowa, pera ano me te timatanga, e wha tekau nga ra, e wha tekau nga po; kihai ahau i kai taro, kihai i inu wai; mo o koutou hara katoa hoki i hara ai koutou, i mahi ai i te kino ki te aroaro o Ihowa, hei whakap ataritari i a ia.

And I fell downe before the Lord, fourtie dayes, and fourtie nightes, as before: I neither ate bread nor dranke water, because of al your sinnes, which ye had committed, in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord, in that ye prouoked him vnto wrath.

19 I pawera hoki ahau i te riri, i te aritarita, i a Ihowa ra i whakatakariri ai ki a koutou, e mea ana, kia huna koutou. Otiia whakarongo mai ana ano a Ihowa ki ahau i taua wa hoki.

(For I was afraide of the wrath and indignation, wherewith the Lord was mooued against you, euen to destroy you) yet the Lord heard me at that time also.

20 A tino kaha te riri o Ihowa ki a Arona, i mea kia whakamatea ia: na ka inoi ano hoki ahau mo Arona i taua wa.

Likewise ye Lord was very angrie with Aaron, euen to destroy him: but at that time I prayed also for Aaron.

21 Na ka tango ahau i to koutou hara, i te kuao kau i hanga e koutou, a tahuna ana e ahau ki te ahi, patokia iho, whakangakungakutia ana kia ririki, ngotangota noa ano he puehu: na panga atu ana e ahau ona ngota ki te awa e rere iho ana i te maunga.

And I tooke your sinne, I meane the calfe which ye had made, and burnt him with fire, and stamped him and ground him small, euen vnto very dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the riuer, that descended out of the mount.

22 A i Tapera, i Maha hoki, i Kipiroto Hataawa i whakapataritari ano koutou ki a Ihowa.

Also in Taberah, and in Massah and in Kibrothhattaauah ye prouoked ye Lord to anger.

23 Na, i te tononga a Ihowa i a koutou i Kareheparenea, i tana meatanga mai, Haere ki runga, tangohia te whenua i hoatu e ahau ki a koutou; na ka tutu koutou ki te kupu a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, kihai ano i whakapono ki a ia, kihai i whakarongo ki tona reo.

Likewise when the Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Goe vp, and possesse the land which I haue giuen you, then ye rebelled against the commandement of the Lord your God, and beleeued him not, nor hearkened vnto his voyce.

24 He tutu tonu ta koutou ki a Ihowa mai o te ra i mohio ai ahau ki a koutou.

Ye haue bene rebellious vnto the Lord, since the day that I knewe you.

25 Na takoto ana ahau i te aroaro o Ihowa i nga ra e wha tekau, i nga po e wha tekau, i takoto ai ahau; mo te meatanga mai a Ihowa kia whakangaromia koutou.

Then I fell downe before ye Lord fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes, as I fell downe before, because ye Lord had said, that he woulde destroy you.

26 A ka inoi ahau ki a Ihowa, ka mea, E Ihowa, e te Atua, kaua e whakangaromia tau iwi, tau taonga tupu, i hokona nei e koe i runga i tou nui, i whakaputaina mai nei e koe i Ihipa ki te ringa kaha.

And I prayed vnto the Lord, and saide, O Lord God, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatnesse, whom thou hast brought out of Egypt by a mightie hand.

27 Kia mahara ki au pononga, ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa; kaua e titiro mai ki te pakeke o tenei iwi, ki to ratou kino, ki to ratou hara:

Remember thy seruants Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob: looke not to ye stubburnes of this people, nor to their wickednes, nor to their sinne,

28 Kei mea te whenua i whakaputaina mai nei matou e koe i reira, He kore kihai a Ihowa i kaha ki te kawe i a ratou ki te whenua i korero ai ia ki a ratou, he kino hoki nona ki a ratou, i kawea ai ratou e ia kia whakamatea ki te koraha.

Lest the countrey, whence thou broughtest them, say, Because ye Lord was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, or because he hated them, he caried them out, to slay them in the wildernesse.

29 Otira ko tau iwi ano ratou, ko tau taonga tupu hoki, i whakaputaina mai nei e koe i runga i tou kaha nui, i tou takakau maro hoki.

Yet they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mightie power, and by thy stretched out arme.
