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.

"'You shall make for yourselves no idols, neither shall you raise up an engraved image or a pillar, neither shall you place any figured stone in your land, to bow down 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.

"'You shall keep my Sabbaths, and have reverence for my sanctuary. 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 walk in my statutes, 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 I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, 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.

Your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time; and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell 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.

"'I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and no one will make you afraid; and I will remove evil animals out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

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

You shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

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.

Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; 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.

"'I will have respect for you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will 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.

You shall eat old store long kept, and you shall move 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 set my tabernacle among you, and my soul will 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.

I will walk 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 brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and 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 will not listen to me, and will not do all these commandments;

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 shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhors my ordinances, so that you will not do all my commandments, but 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.

I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away; and you will sow your seed in vain, for your enemies will eat it.

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.

I will set my face against you, and you will be struck before your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you; and you will flee when no one pursues 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.

"'If you in spite of these things will not listen to me, then I will chastise you 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:

I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your sky like iron, and your soil like bronze;

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 spent in vain; for your land won't yield its increase, neither will the trees of the land yield 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.

"'If you walk contrary to me, and won't listen to me, then I will bring seven times more plagues on you 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.

I will send the wild animals among you, which will rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number; and your roads will become 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;

"'If by these things you won't be reformed to me, but will walk contrary to 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 also walk contrary to you; and I will strike you, even I, 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.

I will bring a sword upon you, that will execute the vengeance of the covenant; and you will be gathered together within your cities: and I will send the pestilence among you; and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

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 break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again 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;

"'If you in spite of this won't listen to me, but walk contrary to 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 I will walk contrary to you in wrath; and I also will chastise you 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.

You will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters.

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.

I will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul will abhor 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.

I will lay your cities waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not take delight in the sweet fragrance of your offerings.

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

I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies that dwell in it will be astonished 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.

I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you: and your land will be a desolation, and your cities shall be a 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 the land will enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies' land. Even then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths.

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.

As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it did not have in your sabbaths, when you lived on 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.

"'As for those of you who are left, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword; and they will fall when no one pursues.

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.

They will stumble over one another, as it were before the sword, when no one pursues: and you will have no power to stand before your enemies.

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

You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will eat you up.

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.

Those of you who are left will rot away in their iniquity in the lands of their enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they rot away with them.

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,

"'If they confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary to 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:

I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity;

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 remember my covenant with Jacob; and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham; and I will remember 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.

The land also will be left by them, and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them: and they will accept the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes.

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:

Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant 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.

but I will for their sake remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might 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 statutes, ordinances and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai by Moses.
