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.

I [am] the Lord your God: you shall not make to yourselves gods made with hands, or graven; neither shall you rear up a pillar for yourselves, neither shall you set up a stone [for] an object in your land to worship it: I am the Lord your God.

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

You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuaries: 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 will walk in my ordinances, and keep my commandments, 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 will I give you the rain in its season, and the land shall produce its fruits, and the trees of the field shall yield 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 your threshing time shall overtake the vintage, and your vintage shall overtake your seed time; and you shall eat your bread to the full; and you shall dwell safely upon your land, and war shall not go through your land.

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 peace in your land, and you shall sleep, and none [shall] make you afraid; and I will destroy the evil beasts out of your land,

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

and you shall pursue your enemies, and they shall fall before you with slaughter.

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.

And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase tens of thousands; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

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 look upon you, and increase you, and multiply you, and establish my covenant 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 you shall eat that which is old and very old, and bring forth the old to make way for 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 set my tabernacle among you, and my soul shall not abhor you;

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 walk among you, and be your God, and you shall 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 brought you out of the land of Egypt, where you were slaves; and I broke the band of your yoke, and brought you forth openly.

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

But if you will not listen to me, nor obey these my ordinances,

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:

but disobey them, and your soul should loathe my judgments, so that you should not keep all my commands, so as to break my covenant,

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.

then will I do thus to you: I will even bring upon you perplexity and the itch, and the fever that causes your eyes to waste away, and [disease] that consumes your life; and you shall sow your seeds in vain, and your enemies shall eat them.

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 I will set my face against you, and you shall fall before your enemies, and they that hate you shall pursue you; and you shall flee, no one pursuing 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 you still refuse to listen to me, then will I chasten you yet more even seven times 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 I will break down the haughtiness of your pride; and I will make your heaven iron, and your earth as it were 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 shall be in vain; and your land shall not yield its seed, and the tree of your field shall not yield its 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 after this you should walk perversely, and not be willing to obey me, I will further bring upon you seven plagues according to 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.

And I will send upon you the wild beasts of the land, and they shall devour you, and shall consume your cattle: and I will make you few in number, and your ways shall be desolate.

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 hereupon you are not corrected, but walk perversely towards 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.

I also will walk with you with a perverse spirit, and I also will strike you seven times for 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 bring upon you a sword avenging the cause of [my] covenant, and you shall flee for refuge to your cities; and I will send out death against you, and you shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies.

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 afflict you with famine of bread, then ten women shall bake your loaves in one oven, and they shall render your loaves by weight; and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.

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 hereupon you will not obey me, but walk perversely towards me,

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 will I walk with you with a froward mind, and I will chasten you sevenfold according to 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.

And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall you eat.

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 render your pillars desolate, and will utterly destroy your wooden [images] made with hands; and I will lay your carcases on the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall loathe you.

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 lay your cities waste, and I will make your sanctuaries desolate, and I will not smell the savor of your sacrifices.

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

And I will lay your land desolate, and your enemies who dwell in it shall wonder at 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 scatter you among the nations, and the sword shall come upon you and consume you; and your land shall be desolate, and your cities shall be desolate.

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 the land shall enjoy its sabbaths all the days of its desolation.

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.

And you shall be in the land of your enemies; then the land shall keep its sabbaths, and the land shall enjoy its sabbaths all the days of its desolation: it shall keep sabbaths which it kept not among your sabbaths, when you lived 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 to those who are left of you I will bring bondage into their heart in the land of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee as fleeing from war, and shall fall when none pursues 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.

And brother shall disregard brother as in war, when none pursues; and you shall not be able to withstand your enemies.

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

And you shall perish among the Gentiles, and the land of your enemies shall devour you.

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 who are left of you shall perish, because of their sins, and because of the sins of their fathers: in the land of their enemies shall they consume 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 shall confess their sins, and the sins of their fathers, that they have transgressed and neglected me, and that they have walked perversely before 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:

and I walked with them with a perverse mind; and I will destroy them in the land of their enemies: then shall their uncircumcised heart be ashamed, and then shall they acquiesce in [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.

And I will remember the covenant of Jacob, and the covenant of Isaac, and the covenant of Abraam will I remember.

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 I will remember the land, and the land shall be left of them; then the land shall enjoy her sabbaths, when it is deserted through them: and they shall accept [the punishment of] their iniquities, because they neglected my judgments, and in their soul loathed my ordinances.

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:

And yet not even thus, while they were in the land of their enemies, did I overlook them, nor did I loathe them so as to consume them, to break my covenant made with them; 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 I will remember their former covenant, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage before the nation, 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 my judgments and my ordinances, and the law which the Lord gave between himself and the children of Israel, in the mount Sina, by the hand of Moses.
