Teutalonome 5

1 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ke haʻu ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Fanongo, ʻE ʻIsileli, ki he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo e ngaahi fakamaau ʻaia ʻoku ou lea ʻaki ʻi homou telinga he ʻaho ni, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ia, pea tauhi, pea fai ki ai.

Moses/I summoned all the people of Israel and said to them, “You Israeli people, listen to all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today. Learn them and be sure to obey them.

2 Naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ʻae fuakava mo kitautolu ʻi Holepi.

When we were at Sinai [Mountain], Yahweh our God made an agreement with us.

3 Naʻe ʻikai fai ʻe Sihova ʻae fuakava ni mo ʻetau ngaahi tamai, ka ko kitautolu, ʻio, ʻakitautolu ʻoku moʻui kotoa pē ʻi heni he ʻaho ni.

But this agreement was not only for our ancestors. He made it also for us who are alive now.

4 Naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu ʻae mata ki he mata ʻi he moʻunga mei he loto afi;

Yahweh spoke with us face-to-face on that mountain, from the middle of the fire.

5 (Naʻa ku tuʻu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Sihova mo kimoutolu ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ke fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova; he naʻa mou manavahē koeʻuhi ko e afi, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga; ) pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia;

On that day, I stood between your ancestors and Yahweh to tell them what he said, because they were afraid of the fire, and they did not climb up the mountain. This is what Yahweh said:

6 “Ko au ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ‘Naʻaku ʻomi koe kituʻa mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he fale fakapōpula.

‘I am Yahweh your God, the one you [worship]. I am the one who brought you out of the land of Egypt. I am the one who freed you from being slaves [there].

7 “ʻOua naʻa ke maʻu mo au ha ʻotua kehe ʻi hoku ʻao.

[You must worship only] me; you must not worship any other god.

8 “ʻOua naʻa ke ngaohi kiate koe ha fakatātā, pe ha meʻa fakatatau ʻe taha ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi he langi ʻi ʻolunga, pe ha meʻa ʻoku ʻi he fonua ʻi lalo ni, pe ki ha meʻa ʻoku ʻi he vai ʻi he lalo fonua:

You must not carve/make for yourselves any idol that represents anything in the sky or anything that is on the ground or anything that swims in the water.

9 “ʻOua naʻa ke punou hifo koe ki ai, pe tauhi ki ai: he ko au Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua fuaʻa au, ʻoku ou totongi ʻae hia ʻae ngaahi tamai ki he fānau ʻo aʻu ki hono tolu mo hono fā ʻoe toʻutangata ʻokinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au,

You must not bow down to any idol and worship it, because I am Yahweh God, and I (am very jealous/want you to worship me only). I punish those who sin and hate me. I punish not only them, but I will punish (their descendants, down to the third and fourth generation/their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren).

10 Pea u fakahā ʻae ʻaloʻofa ki he ngaahi toko afe ʻokinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate au mo tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau.

But I will steadfastly love (thousands of generations/all the descendants) of those who love me and obey my commandments (OR, I will love for thousands of generations).

11 “ʻOua naʻa ke takuanoa ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai lau ʻe Sihova ko e taʻehalaia ia ʻaia ʻoku ne takuanoa hono huafa.

Do not use/speak my name carelessly (OR, for wrong/evil purposes), because I am Yahweh God, the one whom you [should worship], and I will certainly punish those who use/speak my name for wrong/evil purposes [LIT].

12 “Tauhi ʻae ʻaho Sāpate ke fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ia, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe.

Do not forget that the seventh day [of every week] is mine. Dedicate those days to me just like I, Yahweh your God, am commanding you.

13 Ko e ʻaho ʻe ono ke ke ngāue ai, ʻo fai ai hoʻo ngāue kotoa pē:

There are six days each week for you to do all your work,

14 Ka ko hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ko e Sāpate ia ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua; ʻoua naʻa ke fai ʻi ai ha ngāue ʻe taha, ʻa koe, pe ko ho foha, pe ko ho ʻofefine, ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pe ko hoʻo kaunanga, pe ko hoʻo pulu, pe ko hoʻo ʻasi, pe ha manu ʻe taha, pe ko e muli ʻoku nofo ʻi ho lotoʻā: koeʻuhi ke mālōlō mo koe ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki mo hoʻo kaunanga.

but the seventh day is a rest day, a day dedicated to me, Yahweh your God. On that day you must not do any work. You and your sons and daughters and your male and female slaves must not work. You must not even force your livestock to work, and you must not tell foreigners to work, those who are living in your country. You must allow your slaves to rest on that day just like you do.

15 Pea ke manatu naʻa ke nofo ko e tamaioʻeiki koe ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea naʻe ʻomi koe mei ai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻi he nima māfimafi mo e nima kuo mafao: ko ia kuo fekau ai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe, ke ke tauhi ʻae ʻaho Sāpate.

Do not forget that you were slaves in Egypt, and that I, Yahweh your God, brought you out from there by my very great power. [DOU, MTY] That is the reason that I am commanding that [all of] you must rest on the seventh/Sabbath day [each week].

16 “Fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe; koeʻuhi ke fuoloa ho ngaahi ʻaho, pea koeʻuhi ke hoko ai ʻae lelei kiate koe, ʻi he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe.

Honor/Respect your fathers and your mothers, just like I, Yahweh your God, am commanding you, in order that you may live a long time in the land that I, Yahweh your God, will give you, and in order that things will go well for you there.

17 “ʻOua naʻa ke fakapō.

Do not murder anyone.

18 “Pea ʻoua naʻa ke tono fefine.

Do not (commit adultery/have sex with anyone other than your spouse).

19 “Pea ʻoua naʻa ke kaihaʻa.

Do not steal anything.

20 “Pea ʻoua naʻa ke tukuakiʻi ʻa ho kaungāʻapi.

Do not tell lies about anyone [when you are speaking in a court].

21 “‘Pea ʻoua naʻa ke holi ki he uaifi ʻo ho kaungāʻapi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke manumanu ki he fale ʻo ho kaungāʻapi, pe ki heʻene ngoue, pe ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, pe ki heʻene kaunanga, pe ki heʻene pulu, pe ki heʻene ʻasi, pe ki ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku ʻa ho kaungāʻapi.’

Do not (covet/desire to have) someone else’s wife, someone else’s house, someone else’s fields, someone else’s male slave or female slave, someone else’s livestock, someone else’s donkeys, or anything else that another person owns.’

22 “Naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni ʻe Sihova ki hoʻomou fakataha kotoa pē ʻi he moʻunga mei he loto afi mo e ʻao, pea mo e poʻuli matolu, ʻi he leʻo lahi: pea naʻe ʻikai fakalahi ia. Pea naʻe tohi ia ʻi he maka lafalafa ʻe ua, ʻo ne tuku mai ia kiate au.

Those are the commandments that Yahweh spoke to your ancestors. When they were gathered there at [the bottom of] the mountain, he spoke with a very loud voice from the middle of the fire, and there were dark clouds surrounding the mountain. He spoke only those [ten] commandments, no more. Then he wrote them on two stone tablets and gave them to me.

23 “Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ‘ʻI hoʻomou ongoʻi ʻae leʻo mei he lotolotonga ʻoe fakapoʻuli, (he naʻe vela ʻae moʻunga ʻi he afi, ) naʻa mou haʻu ʻo ofi kiate au, ʻio ʻae houʻeiki ʻo homou ngaahi faʻahinga, mo hoʻomou kau mātuʻa;

After your ancestors heard [Yahweh’s] voice when he spoke to them out of the darkness, while there was a big fire burning on the mountain, their leaders and elders came to me,

24 Pea naʻa mou pehē, Vakai, kuo fakahā kiate kimautolu ʻe Sihova ko homau ʻOtua hono nāunau mo hono lahi, pea kuo mau ongoʻi hono leʻo mei he loto afi: kuo mau mamata he ʻaho ni ʻoku alea ʻae ʻOtua mo e tangata, pea ʻoku moʻui ia.

and [one of] them said, ‘Listen to us! Yahweh our God showed us that he is very great and glorious when we heard him speak [MTY] from the fire. Today we have realized that it is possible for us humans to continue to live even though God has spoken to us.

25 Pea ko eni, ko e hā te mau mate ai? He ko e afi lahi ni te ne fakaʻauha ʻakimautolu: kapau te mau toe fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, te mau toki mate ai.

But we are afraid that we will die [RHQ] if we hear Yahweh our God speak [MTY] to us again; his terrible fire will destroy/kill us.

26 He ko hai ia ʻi he kakai kotoa pē, kuo ne fanongo ki he leʻo ʻoe ʻOtua moʻui ʻoku folofola mei he loto afi, ʻo hangē ko kimautolu, pea kei moʻui?

(Who has/Certainly no human has) remained alive after hearing the all-powerful God speak [MTY] to them from a fire.

27 Ke ke ʻalu koe ke ofi, pea fanongo ki he folofola kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua: pea ke lea ʻaki ʻe koe kiate kimautolu ʻaia kotoa pē ʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua kiate koe: pea te mau fanongo, pea fai ki ai.’

[So Moses], you go [up the mountain] and listen to everything that Yahweh our God will say. Then [come back and] tell us everything that he has said, and we will listen to what he has said and obey it.’

28 Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae leʻo ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi lea, ʻi hoʻomou lea kiate au; pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, ‘Kuo u fanongo ki he leʻo ʻoe ngaahi lea ʻae kakai ni, ʻaia kuo nau lea ʻaki kiate koe: kuo lelei kotoa pē ʻae lea kuo nau lea ʻaki.

Yahweh heard your leaders say that, so [when I went back up the mountain], Yahweh said to me, ‘I have heard what your leaders have said, and what they have said is right/correct.

29 ‌ʻAmusiaange ʻeau kuo ʻiate kinautolu ha loto pehē, kenau manavahē kiate au, pea tauhi maʻuaipē ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fekau, koeʻuhi ke hoko ai ʻae lelei kiate kinautolu, pea ki heʻenau fānau ʻo taʻengata!

I surely wish that they would always think like that and revere me and obey all my commandments, in order that things may go well for them and for their descendants forever.

30 ‌ʻAlu ʻo tala kiate kinautolu, Mou toe ʻalu ki homou ngaahi fale fehikitaki.

So go [down] and tell them to return to their tents.

31 Ka ko koe, ke ke tuʻu ʻi heni ʻo ofi kiate au, pea te u fakahā kiate koe ʻae ngaahi fekau kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo e ngaahi fakamaau, ʻaia te ke ako ʻaki kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi kenau fai ki ai ʻi he fonua ʻaia ʻoku ou foaki kiate kinautolu kenau maʻu.’

But [then] you [come back up here and] stand near me, and I will give to you all the rules and regulations that I [want them to obey]. Then you can teach them to the people, in order that they will obey them when they are in the land that I am giving to them.’

32 Ko ia ke mou tokanga ʻo fai ia ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu: ʻoua naʻa mou tafoki ki he nima toʻomataʻu pe ki he toʻohema.

[So I went back down to the people, and I said to them], ‘Be sure that you do everything that Yahweh our God has commanded us to do. Do not disobey any of his laws.

33 Te mou ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi hala kotoa pē ʻaia kuo fekau ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke mou moʻui, pea mou lelei, pea ke mou fakatolonga homou ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he fonua te mou maʻu.

Conduct your lives as Yahweh our God has commanded us to do, in order that you may live a long time, and in order that things will go well for you [when you are living] in the land that you will occupy.’”
