< Teutalonome 29 >
1 Pea ko eni ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe fuakava, ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese ke fai mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he fonua ʻo Moape, ka ʻoku kehe ʻae fuakava ʻaia naʻa ne fai mo kinautolu ʻi Holepi.
These are the things that the Israelis were required to do to keep the agreement that Yahweh was making with them. Moses/I commanded them to keep this agreement [when they/we were] in the Moab region [on the east side of the Jordan River]. This was in addition to the agreement that Yahweh had made with them/us at Sinai [Mountain].
2 Pea naʻe ui ʻe Mōsese ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mou mamata ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻi homou ʻao ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite kia Felo, pea ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē, pea ki hono fonua kotoa pē.
Moses/I summoned all the Israeli people and said to them, “You saw [SYN] for yourselves what Yahweh did to the king of Egypt and to his officials and to his entire country.
3 Ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻahiʻahi ʻaia naʻe mamata ki ai ʻa ho mata, ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga, mo e ngaahi mana lahi ko ia:
You [SYN] saw all the plagues [that Yahweh caused them to experience], and all the various miracles [DOU] [that Yahweh performed].
4 Ka ʻoku teʻeki ai foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻe Sihova ʻae loto ke ʻilo, mo e mata ke mamata, mo e telinga ke ongo, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.
But until now, Yahweh has not enabled you to understand [the meaning of] all that you have seen and heard.
5 Pea kuo u tataki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ʻi he toafa ʻoku teʻeki ai fakaʻaʻau ʻo motuʻa homou ngaahi kofu, pea ʻoku ʻikai hoko ʻo motuʻa ho topuvaʻe ʻi ho vaʻe.
For 40 years Yahweh has led you while you traveled/walked through the desert. During that time, your clothes and your sandals have not worn out.
6 Kuo ʻikai te mou kai mā, pea kuo ʻikai te mou inu uaine pe ha inu mālohi: koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
You did not have bread to eat or wine or other fermented/strong drinks to drink, but Yahweh [took care of you], in order that you would know that he is your God.
7 Pea ʻi hoʻomou hoko ki he potu ni, naʻe haʻu ʻa Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻo Hesiponi, mo Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani, ʻo tuʻu hake ko hotau tauʻi, pea naʻa tau teʻia ʻakinaua:
“And when we came to this place, Sihon, the king who ruled in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king who ruled the Bashan [region], came [with their armies] to attack us, but we defeated them.
8 Pea naʻa tau maʻu hona fonua, pea naʻe foaki ia ko e tofiʻa ki he faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni, mo e faʻahinga ʻo Kata, pea ki hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase.
We took/conquered their land and divided it among the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh.
9 Ko ia mou tauhi ʻae ngaahi lea ʻae fuakava ni, ʻo fai ki ai, koeʻuhi ke mou monūʻia ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku mou fai.
“So faithfully keep all of this agreement, in order that you will be successful in everything that you do.
10 “ʻOku mou tutuʻu kotoa pē he ʻaho ni ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtua; ko e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo homou ngaahi faʻahinga, mo homou kau mātuʻa, mo homou kau matāpule, pea mo e kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli,
Today all of us are standing in the presence of Yahweh our God. The leaders of all our tribes, our elders, our officials, all you Israeli men,
11 Mo hoʻomou ngaahi fānau siʻi, mo homou ngaahi uaifi, mo e muli ʻoku ʻi ho ʻapitanga, ʻo fai mei he tangata ʻoku tā ʻa hoʻo fefie ʻo aʻu kiate ia ʻoku ʻutu ʻa hoʻo vai:
your wives, your children, and the foreigners who live among you and cut wood for you and carry water for you, are here.
12 Koeʻuhi ke ke fai ha fuakava mo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea ki heʻene folofola fakapapau, ʻaia ʻoku fai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua mo koe he ʻaho ni:
[We are here] today to promise to keep this solemn agreement with Yahweh.
13 Koeʻuhi ke ne fokotuʻumaʻu koe he ʻaho ni ko e kakai moʻona, pea ke hoko ia kiate koe koe ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola kiate koe, pea hangē ko ʻene fuakava ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai, kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo Sēkope.
[He is making this agreement with you] in order to confirm that you are his people, and that he is your God. This agreement is what he promised you, and which is what he vowed to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
14 Pea ʻoku ʻikai ko ʻeku fai ʻae fuakava ko eni, mo e lea fakapapau ni kiate kimoutolu pe;
This agreement is not only with you.
15 Ka kiate ia ʻoku tau tutuʻu mo ia he ʻaho ni ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, pea mo ia foki ʻoku ʻikai ʻi heni mo kitautolu he ʻaho ni:
He is making this agreement with us [who are here today] and also with our descendants who are not yet born.
16 (He ʻoku mou ʻilo pe naʻe fēfē ʻetau nofo ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite; pea mo ʻetau laka mai ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaia naʻa mou haʻu ʻo ofi ki ai;
“You remember [the things that our ancestors suffered] in Egypt, and how they traveled through the land that belonged to other nations [after they came out of Egypt].
17 Pea kuo mou mamata ki heʻenau ngaahi meʻa kovi, mo honau ngaahi ʻotua loi, ko e ʻakau, mo e maka, mo e siliva, mo e koula, ʻaia naʻe ʻiate kinautolu: )
In those countries they saw those disgusting idols made of wood and stone and [decorated with] silver and gold.
18 Telia naʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ha tangata, pe ha fefine, pe ha fale, pe ha faʻahinga, ʻoku tafoki hono loto he ʻaho ni meia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ke ʻalu ʻo tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ni; telia naʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae aka ʻoku fua ʻaki ʻae ʻahu mo e kona;
So be sure that no man or woman or family or tribe that is here [today] turns away from Yahweh our God, to worship/serve the gods of those nations. Doing that would be like a root [of a plant that would grow] among you and bear poisonous and bitter fruit [MET].
19 Pea ʻe hoko ai ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe fakamalaʻia ni, te ne mahalo lelei kiate ia ʻi hono loto, ʻo pehē, Te u maʻu pe ʻae fiemālie, neongo ʻeku ʻeveʻeva pe ʻi he filioʻi ʻa hoku loto, ke fakalahi ʻaki ʻae kona ki he fieinu:
“Be sure that no one here today who hears this agreement thinks, ‘Everything will go well with me, even if I stubbornly do what I want to.’ If you are stubborn like that, the result will be that Yahweh will eventually get rid of all of you, both good people and evil people [MET].
20 ʻE ʻikai mamae kiate ia ʻa Sihova, ka ʻe vela ʻae houhau mo e fuaʻa ʻo Sihova ki he tangata ko ia, pea ko e ngaahi malaʻia kotoa pē ʻaia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ni, ʻe tuku tonu kiate ia, pea ʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Sihova hono hingoa mei he lalo langi.
Yahweh will not forgive anyone who is [stubborn] like that. Instead, he will be extremely angry [DOU] with that person, and that person will experience all the curses that I have told you about, until Yahweh gets rid of that person and his family [IDM].
21 Pea ʻe vaheʻi ia ʻe Sihova ki he kovi mei he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi malaʻia ʻoe fuakava ʻaia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ni ʻoe fono:
From all the tribes of Israel, Yahweh will separate that individual. Yahweh will cause him to experience all the disasters that I have listed in the agreement that states the things that Yahweh will do to curse [those who disobey] the laws [that I have written] in this scroll/book.
22 Ko ia, ko e toʻutangata ʻamui ʻi hoʻomou fānau ʻaia ʻe tupu hake kimui ʻiate kimoutolu, pea mo e muli ʻaia ʻe haʻu mei he fonua mamaʻo, tenau pehē, ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he ngaahi tautea ʻoe fonua ko ia, mo e ngaahi mahaki ʻaia kuo tuku ki ai ʻe Sihova;
“In the future, your descendants and people from other countries will see the disasters and the illnesses that Yahweh has caused to happen to you.
23 Pea kuo hoko ʻae fonua kotoa pē ko e sulifa, mo e māsima, mo e vela, ʻoku ʻikai tūtuuʻi ia pe fua, pe tupu ha mohuku ʻi ai, ka ʻoku hangē ko e fulihi ʻo Sotoma, mo Komola, ko ʻAtima, mo Sipoimi, ʻaia naʻe fulihi ʻe Sihova ʻi heʻene tuputāmaki, pea ʻi hono houhau lahi:
They will see that all your land has been ruined by burning sulfur and salt. Nothing will have been planted. Not even weeds will grow there. Your land will resemble Sodom and Gomorrah [cities], and Admah and Zeboiim [cities], which Yahweh destroyed when he was very angry [DOU] [with the people who lived there].
24 ʻIo, ʻe lea ʻae puleʻanga kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e hā kuo fai pehē ai ʻa Sihova ki he fonua ni? Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe kakaha ʻo hono houhau lahi ni?’
And the people from those other nations will ask, ‘Why did Yahweh do this to this land? Why was he very angry [with the people who lived here]?’
25 Pea ʻe pehē ʻe he kakai, ‘Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau liʻaki ʻae fuakava ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻaia naʻe fai mo kinautolu ʻi heʻene ʻomi ʻakinautolu kituaʻā mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite:
“Then other people will reply, ‘It is because they refused to keep the agreement that Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], had made with them when he brought them out of Egypt.
26 He naʻa nau ʻalu ʻo tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, pea lotu ki ai, ʻae ngaahi ʻotua naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne foaki kiate kinautolu:
Instead, they served/worshiped other gods that they had never worshiped before, gods that Yahweh had told them not to worship.
27 Pea naʻe tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ki he fonua ni, ke fakahoko ki ai ʻae ngaahi malaʻia kotoa pē kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ni:
So, Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people in this land, and he caused them to experience all the disasters that their leader warned them about.
28 Pea naʻe taʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova mei honau fonua ʻi he houhau, pea ʻi he houhau lahi, pea ʻi he tuputāmaki lahi, pea ne lī ʻakinautolu ki he fonua kehe, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai he ʻaho ni.’
Yahweh became extremely angry [DOU] with them and took/yanked them [MET] out of their land and banished them into another land, and they are still there.’
29 Ko e ngaahi meʻa lilo ʻoku ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua: ka ko e ngaahi meʻa kuo fakahā ʻoku ʻatautolu ia mo ʻetau fānau ʻo taʻengata, koeʻuhi ketau fai ʻae lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni.
“[There are some] things that Yahweh our God has (kept secret/not revealed), but he has revealed his laws to us, and [he expects] us and our descendants to obey them forever.”
