Rewitikuha 26

1 Kei hanga koutou he whakapakoko ma koutou, kei whakaara ranei he whakapakoko, he mea whaowhao, he pou ranei, kaua ano hoki he kohatu ahua ki to koutou whenua hei koropikotanga atu: ko Ihowa hoki ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

Do not make images of false gods, or put up an image cut in stone or a pillar or any pictured stone in your land, to give worship to it; for I am the Lord your God.

2 Kia mau ki aku hapati, kia hopohopo ano ki toku wahi tapu: ko Ihowa ahau.

Keep my Sabbaths and give honour to my holy place: I am the Lord.

3 Ki te haere koutou i runga i aku tikanga, a ka pupuri i aku whakahua, ka mahi hoki;

If you are guided by my rules, and keep my laws and do them,

4 Na ka hoatu e ahau he ua ki a koutou i tona po ano, a ka tukua ona hua e te whenua, a ka hua nga hua o nga rakau o te parae:

Then I will give you rain at the right time, and the land will give her increase and the trees of the field will give their fruit;

5 A ka tutuki atu ta koutou patunga witi ki te whakiinga waina, me te whakiinga waina ki te wa ruinga; a ka kai koutou i ta koutou taro, ka makona, ka u ano te noho ki to koutou whenua.

And the crushing of the grain will overtake the cutting of the grapes, and the cutting of the grapes will overtake the planting of the seed, and there will be bread in full measure, and you will be living in your land safely.

6 A ka tukua iho e ahau te ata noho ki te whenua, a ka takoto iho koutou, kahore ano hoki he tangata hei mea i a koutou kia wehi: ka whakakahoretia atu ano hoki e ahau nga kirehe kino i te whenua, e kore ano hoki te hoari e tika na waenga o to kout ou whenua.

And I will give you peace in the land, and you will take your rest and no one will give you cause for fear; and I will put an end to all evil beasts in the land, and no sword of war will go through your land.

7 A ka whaia e koutou o koutou hoariri, a ka hinga ratou i te hoari ki to koutou aroaro.

And you will put to flight those who are against you, and they will be put to death by your swords.

8 Ka whaia hoki te rau kotahi e te tokorima o koutou, a ka whati nga mano kotahi tekau i te rau kotahi o koutou: na ka hinga o koutou hoariri i te hoari ki to koutou aroaro.

Then five of you will put to flight a hundred, and a hundred of you will put to flight ten thousand, and all who are against you will be put to death by your swords.

9 Ka whai whakaaro hoki ahau ki a koutou, a ka meinga koutou kia hua, kia tini; a ka pumau taku kawenata ki a koutou.

And I will have pleasure in you and make you fertile and greater in number; and I will keep my agreement with you.

10 A ka kai koutou i te kai kua roa e pakoko ana, a ka whakaputa i te pakoko ki waho mo te hua hou.

And old stores long kept will be your food, and you will take out the old because of the new;

11 A ka whakaturia e ahau taku tapenakara ki waenganui i a koutou, e kore ano toku wairua e whakarihariha ki a koutou.

And I will put my holy House among you, and my soul will not be turned away from you in disgust.

12 Ka haereere ano hoki ahau i roto i a koutou, a hei Atua ahau mo koutou, ko koutou hoki hei iwi maku.

And I will be present among you and will be your God and you will be my people.

13 Ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua i kawe mai nei i a koutou i te whenua o Ihipa, kei waiho hei pononga ma ratou; motu pu hoki ahau nga here o to koutou ioka, a meinga ana koutou kia haere tu.

I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt so that you might not be servants to them; by me the cords of your yoke were broken and I made you go upright.

14 Tena ko tenei, ka kore koutou e whakarongo ki ahau, ka kore e mahi i enei whakahau katoa;

But if you do not give ear to me, and do not keep all these my laws;

15 A ka whakahawea ki aku tikanga, ka whakarihariha ranei o koutou wairua ki aku whakaritenga, a kahore e mahia aku whakahau katoa, engari ka whakataka taku kawenata:

And if you go against my rules and if you have hate in your souls for my decisions and you do not do all my orders, but go against my agreement;

16 Na ka meinga ano hoki tenei e ahau ki a koutou; ka meinga e ahau hei rangatira mo koutou te pawera, te kohi, me te kirika, hei ngau i nga kanohi, hei whakapouri i te ngakau: a ka maumau ta koutou rui i a koutou purapura; no te mea ka kainga e o koutou hoariri.

This will I do to you: I will put fear in your hearts, even wasting disease and burning pain, drying up the eyes and making the soul feeble, and you will get no profit from your seed, for your haters will take it for food.

17 A ka u atu toku mata ki a koutou, a ka patua koutou i te aroaro o o koutou hoariri, ka meinga hei kingi mo koutou te hunga e kino ana ki a koutou; a ka rere koutou, ahakoa kahore he kaiwhai.

And my face will be turned from you, and you will be broken before those who are against you, and your haters will become your rulers, and you will go in flight when no man comes after you.

18 A ki te kahore tonu koutou e rongo ki ahau i enei meatanga, na, e whitu atu aku pakinga i a koutou mo o koutou hara.

And if, even after these things, you will not give ear to me, then I will send you punishment seven times more for your sins.

19 Ka whati ano i ahau te whakapehapeha o to koutou kaha; a ka meinga to koutou rangi kia whakarino, to koutou whenua hoki kia whakaparahi:

And the pride of your strength will be broken, and I will make your heaven as iron and your earth as brass;

20 A ka poto kau o koutou uaua: no te mea e kore to koutou whenua e tuku ake i ona hua, e kore ano hoki e hua nga hua o nga rakau o te whenua.

And your strength will be used up without profit; for your land will not give her increase and the trees of the field will not give their fruit.

21 A, ki te anga ke atu ta koutou haere i ahau, ki te kore e rongo ki ahau; na ka hoatu e ahau kia whitu atu ano nga whiu ki a koutou, kia rite ki o koutou hara.

And if you still go against me and will not give ear to me, I will put seven times more punishments on you because of your sins.

22 Ka tukua ano e ahau te kirehe koraha ki a koutou, hei kawhaki i a koutou tama, hei whakamoti i a koutou kararehe, hei mea i a koutou kia torutoru; a ka ururuatia o koutou huanui.

I will let loose the beasts of the field among you, and they will take away your children and send destruction on your cattle, so that your numbers will become small and your roads become waste.

23 A ki te kahore koutou e hoki ake ki te pai i enei meatanga aku, a ka anga ke atu koutou i ahau;

And if by these things you will not be turned to me, but still go against me;

24 Heoi ka anga ke atu hoki ahau i a koutou; a ka whiua koutou e ahau, e ahau ano nei, kia whitu atu ano, mo o koutou hara.

Then I will go against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times for all your sins.

25 A ka kawea e ahau he hoari ki a koutou, hei tohe i te utu mo taku kawenata: a ka huihui koutou ki roto ki o koutou pa; a ka tukua e ahau te mate uruta ki a koutou; a ka hoatu koutou ki te ringa o te hoariri.

And I will send a sword on you to give effect to the punishment of my agreement; and when you come together into your towns I will send disease among you and you will be given up into the hands of your haters.

26 Ki te whati i ahau ta koutou tokotoko, ara te taro, ka tunua ta koutou taro e nga wahine kotahi tekau ki te oumu kotahi, a ka whakahokia e ratou ta koutou taro, he mea pauna: a ka kai koutou a e kore e makona.

When I take away your bread of life, ten women will be cooking bread in one oven, and your bread will be measured out by weight; you will have food but never enough.

27 A ki te kahore koutou e rongo ki ahau i enei meatanga katoa, a ka anga ke atu ano koutou i ahau;

And if, after all this, you do not give ear to me, but go against me still,

28 Katahi ahau ka tahuri kino atu i a koutou; a maku nei ano koutou e papaki, e whitu atu pakinga, mo o koutou hara.

Then my wrath will be burning against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times for your sins.

29 A e kai koutou i te kikokiko o a koutou tama, ka kainga hoki e koutou te kikokiko o a koutou tamahine.

Then you will take the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters for food;

30 A ka ngaro i ahau a koutou wahi teitei, ka tapahia ano hoki a koutou, whakapakoko, ka maka o koutou tinana ki runga ki nga tinana o a koutou whakapakoko; a ka whakarihariha ano hoki toku wairua ki a koutou.

And I will send destruction on your high places, overturning your perfume altars, and will put your dead bodies on your broken images, and my soul will be turned from you in disgust.

31 Ka ururua ano i ahau o koutou pa, ka tuheatia hoki o koutou wahi tapu, e kore ano hoki ahau e hongi ki a koutou kakara reka.

And I will make your towns waste and send destruction on your holy places; I will take no pleasure in the smell of your sweet perfumes;

32 A ka tuhea i ahau te whenua; e miharotia ai e o koutou hoariri e noho ana i reira.

And I will make your land a waste, a wonder to your haters living in it.

33 A ka whakamararatia koutou ki roto ki nga tauiwi, ka maunu hoki i ahau te hoari hei whai i a koutou: a ka tuheatia to koutou whenua, ka ururuatia hoki o koutou pa.

And I will send you out in all directions among the nations, and my sword will be uncovered against you, and your land will be without any living thing, and your towns will be made waste.

34 Ko reira koa ai te whenua i ona hapati, i nga ra katoa ona e takoto tuhea ana, i a koutou hoki i te whenua o o koutou hoariri; ko reira hoki te whenua okioki ai, koa ai hoki i ona hapati.

Then will the land take pleasure in its Sabbaths while it is waste and you are living in the land of your haters; then will the land have rest.

35 Ka okioki i nga ra katoa o tona tuheatanga; ko te okioki kihai i a ia i o koutou hapati, i a koutou e noho ana i reira.

All the days while it is waste will the land have rest, such rest as it never had in your Sabbaths, when you were living in it.

36 Tena ko nga morehu o koutou ka unga e ahau he whakangohe ki o ratou ngakau i nga whenua o o ratou hoariri; a ka whati ratou i te ngaehe rau rakau e aia ana; a ka rere ratou, ano e rere ana i te hoari; a ka hinga ahakoa kahore he kaiwhai.

And as for the rest of you, I will make their hearts feeble in the land of their haters, and the sound of a leaf moved by the wind will send them in flight, and they will go in flight as from the sword, falling down when no one comes after them;

37 A ka tutetute ratou tetahi ki tetahi, ano e whaia ana e te hoari, i te mea kahore he kaiwhai: a ka kore he turanga ake mo koutou ki te aroaro o o koutou hoariri.

Falling on one another, as before the sword, when no one comes after them; you will give way before your haters.

38 A ka ngaro koutou i nga tauiwi, ka pau ano i te whenua o o koutou hoariri.

And death will overtake you among strange nations, and the land of your haters will be your destruction.

39 A, ko nga toenga o koutou, ka memeha haere i roto i to ratou kino i nga whenua o o koutou hoariri; ka memeha haere ratou i roto i nga kino o ratou ko o ratou matua.

And those of you who are still living will be wasting away in their sins in the land of your haters; in the sins of their fathers they will be wasting away.

40 A ka whakina e ratou to ratou kino, me te kino o o ratou matua, i to ratou haranga i hara ai ki ahau, me to ratou haerenga ketanga atu i taku,

And they will have grief for their sins and for the sins of their fathers, when their hearts were untrue to me, and they went against me;

41 I anga ke atu ai ahau i a ratou, i kawea ai ratou ki te whenua o o ratou hoariri; ki te iro i reira o ratou ngakau kokotikore, a ka whakaae ki te pakinga mo to ratou kino:

So that I went against them and sent them away into the land of their haters: if then the pride of their hearts is broken and they take the punishment of their sins,

42 Katahi ahau ka mahara ki taku kawenata ki a Hakopa; ki taku kawenata hoki ki a Ihaka; ka mahara tonu ki taku kawenata ki a Aperahama; ka mahara ki te whenua.

Then I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with Jacob and with Isaac and with Abraham, and I will keep in mind the land.

43 Ka mahue ano te whenua i a ratou, a ka koa ki ona hapati, i a ia e takoto tuhea ana, i te mea kahore nei ratou: me ratou hoki, ka whakaae ki te whiu mo to ratou kino: mo tenei hoki, ae ra mo tenei, i whakahawea ratou ki aku whakaritenga, a i wha karihariha to ratou wairua ki aku tikanga.

And the land, while she is without them, will keep her Sabbaths; and they will undergo the punishment of their sins, because they were turned away from my decisions and in their souls was hate for my laws.

44 Na ahakoa he pena, e kore ahau e whakakahore ki a ratou, i a ratou i te whenua o o ratou hoariri, e kore ano e whakarihariha ki a ratou, e huna rawa i a ratou, e whakataka ranei i taku kawenata ki a ratou: ko Ihowa hoki ahau, ko to ratou Atua:

But for all that, when they are in the land of their haters I will not let them go, or be turned away from them, or give them up completely; my agreement with them will not be broken, for I am the Lord their God.

45 Engari, he mea mo ratou, ka mahara ahau ki te kawenata o o ratou tupuna, i kawea mai nei e ahau i te whenua o Ihipa i te tirohanga a nga tauiwi, ki ahau hei Atua mo ratou: ko ahau a Ihowa.

And because of them I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with their fathers, whom I took out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, to be their God: I am the Lord.

46 Ko nga tikanga enei, me nga whakaritenga, me nga ture i whakatakotoria e Ihowa ki waenganui ona, o nga tama a Iharaira, ki Maunga Hinai, he mea na te ringa o Mohi.

These are the rules, decisions, and laws, which the Lord made between himself and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
