Teutalonome 11

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.

Therefore you will love Yahweh your God and always keep his instructions, his statutes, his decrees, and his commandments.

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,

Notice that I am not speaking to your children, who have not known nor have they seen the punishment of Yahweh your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, or his outstretched 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;

the signs and deeds that he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to 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;

Neither did they see what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, or to their chariots, how he made the water of the Sea of Reeds overwhelm them as they pursued after you, and how Yahweh has destroyed them until today,

5 Mo ia naʻa ne fai kiate kimoutolu ʻi he toafa ʻo aʻu ki hoʻomou hoko ki he potu ni;

or what he did for you in the wilderness until you 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:

They had not seen what Yahweh had done to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab son of Reuben, how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, their households, their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the middle of all Israel.

7 Ka kuo mamata ʻe homou mata ki he ngaahi ngāue lahi kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne fai.

But your eyes have seen all the great works of Yahweh that he did.

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;

Therefore keep all the commandments that I am commanding you today, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land where you are going 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 you may prolong your days in the land that Yahweh swore to your fathers to give to them and to their descendants, 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, where you go in to possess it, is not like the land of Egypt, from where you came, where you sowed your seed and watered it with your foot, like 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, where you go over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinks water of the rain of the heavens,

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 that Yahweh your God cares for; the eyes of Yahweh your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to 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,

It will happen, if you will listen diligently to my commandments that I command you today, to love Yahweh 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 the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.

15 Pea te u ʻatu ʻae mohuku ki he fonua ki hoʻo fanga manu, koeʻuhi ke ke kai pea ke mākona.

I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you will 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;

Pay attention to yourselves so that your heart is not deceived, and you turn aside and worship 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.

so that the anger of Yahweh is not kindled against you; and so that he does not shut up the heavens so that there will be no rain, and the land will not yield its fruit, and so that you perish quickly from off the good land that Yahweh 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.

Therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and soul, bind them as a sign on your hand, and let them be as 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.

You will teach them to your children and talk about them when you sit in your house, when you walk on the road, when you lie down, and when you get up.

20 Pea ke ke tohi ia ki he ngaahi pou ʻoe matapā ʻo ho fale, pea ki ho ngaahi matapā.

You will write them on the doorposts of your house and on your city 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 and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors to give them for as long as the heavens 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 you diligently keep all these commandments that I am commanding you, so as to do them, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cling to 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 Yahweh will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess nations larger 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 where the sole of your foot will tread will be yours; from the wilderness to Lebanon, from the river, the Euphrates River, to the western sea will be your border.

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 will be able to stand before you. Yahweh your God will lay the fear of you and the terror of you upon all the land that you tread on, as he has said to you.

26 “Vakai, ʻoku ou tuku ʻi homou ʻao he ʻaho ni ʻae monūʻia mo e malaʻia;

Look, I set before you today 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:

the blessing, if you obey the commandments of Yahweh your God that I command you today,

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 the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of Yahweh your God, but turn aside from the way that I command you today, to go after other gods that you 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.

It will happen, when Yahweh your God brings you into the land which you go to possess, that you will set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on 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 beyond the Jordan, west of the western road, in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah, over against 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 you are to cross over the Jordan to go in to possess the land that Yahweh your God is giving you, and you will possess it and live in it.

32 Pea ke mou tokanga ʻo fai ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo e ngaahi fakamaau ʻaia ʻoku ou fokotuʻu ʻi homou ʻao he ʻaho ni.

You will keep all the statutes and the decrees that I set before you today.
