1 Ko ia ke ke “ʻOfa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea tauhi maʻuaipē ʻene pule, mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamaau, mo ʻene ngaahi fekau.
Thou shalt love then Jehovah thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments continually.
2 Pea ke mou ʻilo he ʻaho ni: he ʻoku ʻikai te u lea pe ki hoʻomou fānau ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ke ʻilo, pe mamata ki he tautea meia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ko ʻene māfimafi, mo hono nima mālohi, mo hono nima kuo mafao atu,
And know ye this day...; for [I speak] not with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Jehovah your God, his greatness, his powerful hand, and his stretched-out arm,
3 Mo ʻene ngaahi mana, mo ʻene ngaahi ngāue, ʻaia naʻa ne fai ʻi loto ʻIsipite, kia Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea ki hono fonua kotoa pē;
and his signs and his acts which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
4 Pea mo ia naʻa ne fai ki he kautau ʻo ʻIsipite, ki heʻenau fanga hoosi, pea ki heʻenau ngaahi saliote; ʻa ʻene ngaohi ʻae vai ʻoe Tahi Kulokula ke lōmakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻenau tuli ʻakimoutolu, pea mo e fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni;
and what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and unto their chariots, over which he made the water of the Red sea flow as they pursued after you, and Jehovah destroyed them unto this day;
5 Mo ia naʻa ne fai kiate kimoutolu ʻi he toafa ʻo aʻu ki hoʻomou hoko ki he potu ni;
— and what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came to this place;
6 Pea mo ia naʻa ne fai kia Tatani mo ʻEpilami, ko e ongo foha ʻo ʻIliapi, ko e foha ʻo Lupeni: ʻi he mafaʻa ʻe he kelekele hono ngutu, ʻo ne folo hifo ʻakinaua, mo hona kakai, mo hona ngaahi fale fehikitaki, mo e meʻa moʻui kotoa pē naʻa na maʻu, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ʻIsileli kotoa pē:
and what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben, — how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, with their households, and their tents, and all the living substance that belonged to them, in the midst of all Israel.
7 Ka kuo mamata ʻe homou mata ki he ngaahi ngāue lahi kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne fai.
For your eyes have seen all the great work of Jehovah which he hath done.
8 Ko ia ke mou tauhi ai ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻoku ou fekau ai kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻaho ni, koeʻuhi ke mou mālohi, pea ʻalu atu ʻo maʻu ʻae fonua, ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻalu ke nofo ai;
Keep then all the commandment which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and enter in and possess the land, whither ye pass over to possess it;
9 Pea koeʻuhi ke mou fakatolonga ai homou ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he fonua, ʻaia naʻe fuakava ai ʻa Sihova ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ke foaki kiate kinautolu mo honau hako, ko e fonua ʻoku mahutafea ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi.
and that ye may prolong your days in the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers to give unto them and unto their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 “Ka ko e fonua, ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻalu ke maʻu ia, ʻoku ʻikai tatau mo e fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻa mou haʻu mei ai, ʻaia naʻa ke tūtuuʻi ai hoʻo tengaʻi ʻakau, pea fakaviviku ʻaki ia ho vaʻe, ʻo hangē ha ngoue ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau kai:
For the land, whither thou enterest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs;
11 Ka ko e fonua, ʻoku mou ʻalu ai ke mou maʻu, ko e fonua moʻungaʻia mo tokalelei, pea ʻoku ne inu vai ʻi he ʻuha mei he langi:
but the land, whereunto ye are passing over to possess it, is a land of mountains and valleys, which drinketh water of the rain of heaven,
12 Ko e fonua ʻoku tokangaʻi ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ko e fofonga ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻoku ʻafio maʻu ki ai, mei he kamataʻanga ʻoe taʻu ki hono ngataʻanga ʻoe taʻu.
a land which Jehovah thy God careth for; the eyes of Jehovah thy God are constantly upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
13 “Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, kapau te mou faʻa tokanga ki heʻeku ngaahi fekau ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau ai kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻaho ni, ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, pea ke tauhi ʻaki ia homou loto kotoa mo homou laumālie kotoa,
And it shall come to pass, if ye hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love Jehovah your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
14 Te u tuku ai kiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻuha ʻo homou fonua ʻi hono faʻahitaʻu totonu, ʻae ʻuha muʻa mo e ʻuha mui, koeʻuhi ke ke tānaki hoʻo uite, mo hoʻo uaine, mo hoʻo lolo.
that I will give rain to your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain; and thou shalt gather in thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil;
15 Pea te u ʻatu ʻae mohuku ki he fonua ki hoʻo fanga manu, koeʻuhi ke ke kai pea ke mākona.
and I will give grass in thy field for thy cattle; and thou shalt eat and be full.
16 Vakai kiate kimoutolu naʻa kākāʻia homou loto, pea mou tafoki, pea tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, pea lotu kiate kinautolu;
Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside and serve other gods, and bow down to them,
17 Pea tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova kiate kimoutolu, pea tāpuni ai ʻae langi, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻuha, pea ke ʻoua naʻa tupu ʻi he fonua hono ngaahi fua; pea mou ʻauha vave mei he fonua lelei ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu.
and Jehovah's wrath kindle against you, and he shut up the heavens, that there be no rain, and that the ground yield not its produce, and ye perish quickly from off the good land which Jehovah is giving you.
18 “Ko ia ke mou ʻai ʻeku ngaahi lea ni ki homou loto mo homou laumālie, pea nonoʻo ia ki ho nima ko e fakaʻilonga, pea ke ʻiate koe ia ko e pale ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ho mata.
And ye shall lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.
19 Pea ke mou ako ʻaki ia ki hoʻomou fānau, ʻo talanoa ki ai ʻoka ke ka nofo ʻi ho fale, pea ʻoka ke ka ʻeveʻeva ʻi he hala, ʻoka ke ka tokoto hifo, pea ʻoka ke ka tuʻu hake.
And ye shall teach them unto your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou goest on the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up;
20 Pea ke ke tohi ia ki he ngaahi pou ʻoe matapā ʻo ho fale, pea ki ho ngaahi matapā.
and write them upon the posts of thy house, and upon thy gates;
21 Koeʻuhi ke fakalahi ai homou ngaahi ʻaho, mo e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻomou fānau, ʻi he fonua ʻaia naʻe fuakava ki ai ʻa Sihova ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ke foaki kiate kinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe langi ki he māmani.
that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which Jehovah swore unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens [which are] above the earth.
22 “He kapau te mou hangahanga tauhi ʻae ngaahi fekau ni ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau ai kiate kimoutolu ke fai ki ai, ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ke ʻalu ʻi hono ngaahi hala kotoa pē, pea ke mou pikitai kiate ia;
For if ye diligently keep all this commandment which I command you [this day] to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him,
23 Pehē ʻe toki kapusi ai ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē mei homou ʻao, pea te mou hoko ʻo maʻu ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoku lahi hake pea mālohi lahi ʻiate kimoutolu.
then will Jehovah dispossess all these nations from before you, and ye shall take possession of nations greater and mightier than yourselves.
24 Ko e potu kotoa pē ʻe tuʻu ki ai homou ʻaofivaʻe ʻe ʻomoutolu ia: mei he toafa mo Lepanoni, mei he vaitafe, ʻae vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi, ʻio, ʻo aʻu atu ki he tahi mamaʻo ko homou potu ia.
Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours; from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea shall your border be.
25 ‌ʻE ʻikai ha tangata ʻe faʻa tuʻu ʻi homou ʻao; koeʻuhi ʻe tuku ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ʻae manavahē kiate kimoutolu mo e lilika kiate kimoutolu ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻaia te mou hoko ʻo tuʻu ki ai, ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola kiate kimoutolu.
No man shall be able to stand before you: the fear of you and the dread of you will Jehovah your God lay upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
26 “Vakai, ʻoku ou tuku ʻi homou ʻao he ʻaho ni ʻae monūʻia mo e malaʻia;
See, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:
27 Ko e monūʻia, ʻo kapau te mou talangofua ki he ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni:
a blessing, if ye obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I command you this day;
28 Pea ko e malaʻia, ʻokapau ʻe ʻikai te mou talangofua ki he ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ka mou tafoki ʻo afe mei he hala ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni, ke ʻalu ʻo muimui ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te mou ʻilo.
and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods which ye have not known.
29 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai ke maʻu ia, te ke ʻai ʻae monūʻia ki he moʻunga ko Kelisimi, mo e malaʻia ki he moʻunga ko Ipale.
And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah thy God hath brought thee into the land whither thou enterest in to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.
30 ‌ʻIkai ʻoku na ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, ʻi he hala ʻaia ʻoku ʻalu hifo ai ʻae laʻā, ʻi he fonua ʻoe kakai Kēnani, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi he toafa ʻo hangatonu atu ki Kilikali, ʻo ofi ki he ngaahi tafangafanga ʻo Mole?
Are they not on the other side of the Jordan, beyond the way toward the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites that dwell on the plain opposite to Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?
31 He te mou hoko atu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani ke ʻalu atu ʻo maʻu ʻae fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou maʻu ia, pea nofo ki ai.
For ye pass over the Jordan to enter in to possess the land which Jehovah your God giveth you, and ye shall take possession of it, and dwell therein.
32 Pea ke mou tokanga ʻo fai ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo e ngaahi fakamaau ʻaia ʻoku ou fokotuʻu ʻi homou ʻao he ʻaho ni.
And ye shall take heed to do all the statutes and ordinances which I set before you this day.
