< Teutalonome 7 >
1 “ʻOka ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai ke maʻu ia, pea kuo kapusi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi kakai mei ho ʻao, ko e kau Heti, mo e kau Keakasa, mo e kau ʻAmoli, mo e kau Kēnani, mo e kau Pelesi, mo e kau Hevi, mo e kau Sepusi, ko e puleʻanga ʻe fitu ʻoku lahi hake mo mālohi lahi ʻiate koe;
When Jehovah thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and shall cast out many nations from before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou,
2 Pea ka tuku mai ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi ho ʻao; te ke taaʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu; ʻoua naʻa mou fai ha fuakava mo kinautolu, pe fakahā ha angaʻofa kiate kinautolu:
and when Jehovah thy God shall give them up before thee and thou shalt smite them, then shalt thou utterly destroy them: thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them.
3 Pea ʻoua naʻa mou femaliʻaki mo kinautolu; ʻoua naʻa ke ʻatu ho ʻofefine ki hono foha, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fili hono ʻofefine ki ho foha.
And thou shalt make no marriages with them: thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor take his daughter for thy son;
4 He tenau fakatafoki ho foha mei he muimui ʻiate au, kenau tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe: ko ia ʻe tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova kiate kimoutolu, ke fakaʻauha fakafokifā pe koe.
for he will turn away thy son from following me, and they will serve other gods, and the anger of Jehovah will be kindled against you, and he will destroy thee quickly.
5 Ka te mou fai pehē kiate kinautolu; ke mou maumauʻi honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea fesiʻi hifo ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakatātā, pea tā hifo ʻenau ngaahi vao tapu, pea tutu honau ngaahi tamapua ʻi he afi.
But thus shall ye deal with them: ye shall break down their altars, and shatter their statues, and hew down their Asherahs, and burn their graven images with fire.
6 He ko e kakai māʻoniʻoni koe kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: kuo fili koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke hoko ko e kakai ʻofeina kiate ia, ʻi he kakai kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he funga ʻo māmani.
For a holy people art thou unto Jehovah thy God: Jehovah thy God hath chosen thee to be unto him a people for a possession, above all the peoples that are upon the face of the earth.
7 Naʻe ʻikai fakahoko ʻe Sihova ʻene ʻofa kiate kimoutolu, pe fili ʻakimoutolu, koeʻuhi ko homou tokolahi hake ʻi he kakai kotoa pē; he naʻa mou tokosiʻi hifo ʻi he kakai kotoa pē:
Not because ye were more in number than all the peoples, hath Jehovah been attached to you and chosen you, for ye are the fewest of all the peoples;
8 Ka ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻofa ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu, pea koeʻuhi ko hono finangalo ke fakamoʻoni ʻae fuakava ʻaia naʻa ne fuakava ʻaki ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ko ia kuo ne ʻomi ai kituaʻā ʻakimoutolu ʻi he nima māfimafi, ʻo ne huhuʻi ʻakimoutolu mei he fale ʻoe kau pōpula, mei he nima ʻo Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite.
but because Jehovah loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath Jehovah brought you out with a powerful hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9 Ko ia ke ke ʻilo ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ia, ko e ʻOtua angatonu, ʻaia ʻoku ne tauhi ʻae fuakava mo e ʻaloʻofa mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate ia, pea fai ki heʻene ngaahi fekau, ʻo aʻu atu ki he toʻutangata laui afe;
And thou shalt know that Jehovah thy God, he is God, the faithful God, who keepeth covenant and mercy to a thousand generations with them that love him and keep his commandments;
10 Pea ʻoku totongi ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate ia ki honau mata, ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu: ʻe ʻikai fai tuai ia kiate ia ʻoku ne fehiʻa kiate ia, ʻe totongi ʻe ia kiate ia ki hono mata.
and repayeth them that hate him [each] to his face, to cause them to perish: he delayeth not with him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
11 Ko ia ke ke tauhi ʻe koe ʻae ngaahi fekau, mo e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo e ngaahi fakamaau, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni, ke fai ki ai.
And thou shalt keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command thee this day, to do them.
12 “Pea ko ia, ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻo kapau te mou tokanga ki he ngaahi fakamaau ni, pea tauhi, pea fai ki ai, ʻe fai kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae fuakava mo e ʻaloʻofa ʻaia naʻa ne fuakava ai ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai;
And it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these ordinances, and keep and do them, that Jehovah thy God will keep with thee the covenant and the mercy which he swore unto thy fathers;
13 Pea te ne ʻofa ʻe ia kiate koe, pea tāpuakiʻi koe, mo ne fakatokolahi koe: pea ʻe tāpuaki ʻe ia ʻae fua ʻo ho manāva, mo e fua ʻo ho fonua, ʻa hoʻo uite, mo hoʻo uaine, mo hoʻo lolo, mo e fanafanau ʻa hoʻo fanga manu, mo hoʻo ngaahi fanga sipi, ʻi he fonua ʻaia naʻa ne fuakava ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai ke foaki kiate koe.
and he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee, and will bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, thy corn and thy new wine, and thine oil, the offspring of thy kine, and the increase of thy sheep, in the land which he swore unto thy fathers to give thee.
14 ʻE monūʻia lahi hake koe ʻi he kakai kotoa pē: ʻe ʻikai paʻa ha tangata pe ha fefine ʻiate kimoutolu, pe ʻi hoʻomou fanga manu.
Thou shalt be blessed above all the peoples; there shall not be male or female barren with thee, or with thy cattle;
15 Pea ʻe toʻo ʻe Sihova ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi mahaki kotoa pē, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻai kiate koe ha mahaki kovi ʻe taha ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi; ka te ne hilifaki ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate koe.
and Jehovah will take away from thee all sickness, and none of the evil infirmities of Egypt, which thou knowest, will he put upon thee; but he will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
16 Pea te ke fakaʻauha ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻaia ʻe tukuange kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua; ke ʻoua siʻi naʻa ʻofa ho mata kiate kinautolu: pea ʻoua naʻa ke tauhi honau ngaahi ʻotua; he tenau hoko ko e tauhele kiate koe.
And thou shalt consume all the peoples that Jehovah thy God will give up unto thee; thine eye shall not spare them, and thou shalt not serve their gods; for that would be a snare unto thee.
17 Kapau ʻoku ke lau ʻi ho loto, ʻOku tokolahi hake ʻae ngaahi kakai ni ʻiate au; ʻe fēfeeʻi ʻeku faʻa kapusi ʻakinautolu?
If thou shouldest say in thy heart, These nations are greater than I; how can I dispossess them?
18 ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē kiate kinautolu: ka ke manatu lelei pe ki he meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kia Felo, pea ki ʻIsipite kotoa pē.
fear them not; remember well what Jehovah thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all the Egyptians;
19 Ko e ʻahiʻahi lahi naʻe mamata ki ai ʻe ho mata, mo e ngaahi fakaʻilonga, mo e ngaahi meʻa mana, mo e toukupu māfimafi, mo e nima kuo mafao, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ai koe kituʻa ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ʻe fai pehē pe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ke manavahē ki ai.
the great trials which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the powerful hand, and the stretched-out arm, whereby Jehovah thy God brought thee out: so will Jehovah thy God do unto all the peoples whom thou fearest.
20 Pea ʻe fekau foki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae fanga langomū kiate kinautolu, kaeʻoua ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻoku toe, ʻonau fufū ʻakinautolu meiate koe.
Moreover, Jehovah thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and they that hide themselves from thee, are destroyed.
21 ʻE ʻikai te ke manavahē koe kiate kinautolu: he ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ko e ʻOtua māfimafi mo fakamanavahē.
Thou shalt not be afraid of them; for Jehovah thy God is in thy midst, a God great and terrible.
22 Pea ʻe kapusi ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi kakai na mei ho ʻao ʻo faifai mālie pe: ʻoua naʻa ke fakaʻauha leva ʻakinautolu, telia naʻa tupu ʻo lahi kiate koe ʻae fanga manu fekai ʻoe vao.
And Jehovah thy God will cast out those nations from before thee by little and little; thou shalt not be able to make an end of them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
23 Ka ʻe tuku mai ʻakinautolu kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi he fakaʻauha lahi, kaeʻoua kenau ʻauha.
But Jehovah thy God will give them up before thee, and will confound them with great consternation, until they are destroyed.
24 Pea ʻe tukuange ʻe ia honau ngaahi tuʻi ki ho nima, pea te ke fakaʻauha honau hingoa mei he lalo langi: ʻe ʻikai faʻa tuʻu ha tangata ʻi ho ʻao, kaeʻoua ke ʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻiate koe.
And he will give their kings into thy hand, and thou shalt put out their name from under the heavens; no man shall stand before thee, until thou hast destroyed them.
25 Ke mou tutuʻaki ʻae afi ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakatātā kuo tā ʻo ʻenau ngaahi ʻotua: ʻoua naʻa ke holi ki he siliva pe ko e koula ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu, pea toʻo ia kiate koe, telia naʻa heleʻi ai koe: he koe meʻa fakalielia ia kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire; thou shalt not covet the silver and gold [that is] on them and take it unto thee, lest thou be ensnared therein; for it is an abomination to Jehovah thy God.
26 Pea ʻoua naʻa ke ʻomi ʻae meʻa fakalielia ki ho fale, telia naʻa ke hoko ko e meʻa malaʻia ʻo hangē ko ia: ka ke fehiʻa matemate ki ai, pea ke fakaliliʻa ki ai he ko e meʻa fakamalaʻia ia.
And thou shalt not bring an abomination into thy house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
