Teutalonome 26

1 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, “ʻOka ke ka hoko ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ko ho tofiʻa, pea kuo ke maʻu ia, mo ke nofo ki ai;

It shall be, when you have come in to the land which Adonai your God gives you for an inheritance, possess it, and dwell in it,

2 Te ke toʻo ai mei he ngaahi ʻuluaki fua kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ʻaia te ke ʻomi mei ho fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻe faʻo ia ki he kato, pea te ke ʻalu ki he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ʻai ki ai hono huafa.

that you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that Adonai your God gives you. You shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which Adonai your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.

3 Pea te ke ʻalu ki he taulaʻeiki ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pea ke pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻOku ou fakahā he ʻaho ni kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, kuo u haʻu mei he fonua ʻaia naʻe fuakava ai ʻa Sihova ki heʻetau ngaahi tamai ke foaki kiate kitautolu.’

You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and tell him, “I profess today to Adonai your God, that I have come to the land which Adonai swore to our fathers to give us.”

4 Pea ʻe toʻo ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae kato mei ho nima, pea ʻe tuku ia ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

The priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before Adonai your God’s altar.

5 Pea te ke lea ʻo pehē, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ‘Ko ʻeku tamai ko e Silia tei mate, pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ia mo e tokosiʻi ki ʻIsipite, pea ʻāunofo ai, pea naʻe tupu ai ia ko e puleʻanga lahi, mo mālohi, mo tokolahi:

You shall answer and say before Adonai your God, “My father was a Syrian ready to perish. He went down into Egypt [Abode of slavery], and lived there, few in number. There he became a great, mighty, and populous nation.

6 Pea naʻe fai kovi kiate kimautolu ʻae kakai ʻIsipite, ʻo tautea ʻakimautolu, ʻo hilifaki kiate kimautolu ʻae ngāue fakapōpula lahi:

The Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] mistreated us, afflicted us, and imposed hard labor on us.

7 Pea ʻi heʻemau tangi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻemau ngaahi tamai, naʻe tokanga ʻa Sihova ki homau leʻo, pea naʻe ʻafio ia ki heʻemau ngaahi mamahi, mo ʻemau ngāue, mo homau fakafiuʻi:

Then we cried to Adonai, the God of our fathers. Adonai sh'ma ·hear obey· our voice, and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression.

8 Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻakimautolu mei ʻIsipite ʻaki ʻae nima māfimafi, mo e nima kuo mafao atu, pea ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakamanavahē lahi, mo e ngaahi fakaʻilonga, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo:

Adonai brought us out of Egypt [Abode of slavery] with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, with great terror, with signs, and with wonders;

9 Pea kuo ne ʻomi ʻakimautolu ki he potu ni, pea kuo ne foaki kiate kimautolu ʻae fonua ni, ko e fonua ʻoku mahu tāfea ʻi he huʻahuhū mo e honi.

and he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 Pea ko eni, vakai, kuo u ʻomi ʻae ʻuluaki fua ʻoe fonua ʻaia kuo ke foaki ʻe koe, ʻE Sihova, kiate au.’ “Pea te ke fokotuʻu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea te ke lotu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua:

Now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, Adonai, have given me.” You shall set it down before Adonai your God, and hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship before Adonai your God.

11 Pea te ke fiefia ʻi he lelei kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe, pea ki ho fale, ʻa koe, mo e Livai, mo e muli ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu.

You shall rejoice in all the good which Adonai your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite [Descendant of United with], and the foreigner who is among you.

12 “He hili hao tukuhau ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻo hoʻo meʻa kotoa pē ʻi hono tolu ʻoe taʻu, ʻaia ko e taʻu ʻoe tukuhau, pea kuo ke ʻatu ia ki he kau Livai, mo e muli, mo e tamai mate, mo e uitou, koeʻuhi kenau kai ʻi hoʻo ngaahi kolo, pea mākona;

When you have finished tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite [Descendant of United with], to the foreigner, to the orphan, and to the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled.

13 Pea te ke toki lea koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, Kuo u ʻomi ʻae ngaahi meʻa tapu mei hoku fale, pea kuo u foaki foki ia ki he kau Livai, pea ki he muli, mo e tamai mate, mo e uitou, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ngaahi fekau kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa ke fekau kiate au: naʻe ʻikai te u talangataʻa ki hoʻo fekau, pea naʻe ʻikai te u fakangalongaloʻi ia:

You shall say before Adonai your God, “I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the orphan, and to the widow, according to all your mitzvot ·instructions· which you have enjoined me. I have not transgressed any of your mitzvot ·instructions·, neither have I forgotten them.

14 Naʻe ʻikai te u kai mei ai ʻi heʻeku mamahi, pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi te u toʻo ha meʻa mei ai ʻi he ngāue taʻemaʻa, pe ʻatu ha meʻa mei ai maʻae kakai mate: ka kuo u tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, pea kuo u fai ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi meʻa kuo ke fekau kiate au.

I have not eaten of it in my vain striving of iniquity mourning, neither have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor given of it for the dead. I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· Adonai my God’s voice. I have done according to all that you have enjoined me.

15 ‌ʻAfio hifo mei ho ʻafioʻanga māʻoniʻoni mei he langi, pea tāpuaki ho kakai ko ʻIsileli, mo e fonua kuo ke foaki mai kiate kimautolu, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fuakava ki heʻemau ngaahi tamai, ko e fonua ʻoku mahutāfea ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi.

Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel [God prevails], and the ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.”

16 “Kuo fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ke fai ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo e ngaahi fakamaau: ko ia ke ke tauhi mo ke fai ki ai ʻaki ho loto kotoa, mo ho laumālie kotoa.

Today Adonai your God enjoins to you to do these statutes and judgments. You shall therefore keep and do them with all your heart and with all your soul.

17 Kuo ke fakahā he ʻaho ni ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea te ke ʻalu ʻi hono ngaahi hala, mo ke tauhi ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo ʻene ngaahi fekau, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamaau, pea te ke tokanga ki hono leʻo:

You have declared today that Adonai is your God, and that you would walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his mitzvot ·instructions·, and his judgments, and sh'ma ·hear obey· his voice.

18 Pea kuo fakahā ʻe Sihova he ʻaho ni ko ʻene kakai mahuʻinga ʻakimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻene talaʻofa kiate koe, pea koeʻuhi ke ke tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau kotoa pē;

Adonai has declared today that you are le'am segulah ·people of special treasure· for his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his mitzvot ·instructions·.

19 Pea ke ne ngaohi koe ke ke māʻolunga lahi ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē kuo ne ngaohi, ʻi he ongoongolelei, pea ʻi he hingoa, pea ʻi he fakaʻapaʻapa; pea koeʻuhi ke ke hoko ko e kakai māʻoniʻoni kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola.

He will make you high above all nations that he has made, in tehilah ·praise song·, in name, and in honor; and that you may be a holy people to Adonai your God, as he has spoken.
