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 Adonai your God brings you into the land where you go to possess it, and casts out many nations before you, the Hittite [Descendant of Trembling fear], the Girgashite, the Amorite [Descendants of Talkers], the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled], the Perizzite [Descendant of Belonging to village], the Hivite [Wicked], and the Jebusite [Descendants of Thresher], seven nations greater and mightier than you;

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 Adonai your God delivers them up before you, and you strike them; then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to 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.

neither shall you make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to his son, nor shall you take his daughter for your 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 your son from following me, that they may abad ·serve· other deities. So Adonai’s anger would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you 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 you shall deal with them like this. You shall break down their altars, dash their pillars in pieces, and cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their engraved 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 you are a holy people to Adonai your God. Adonai your God has chosen you to be a le'am segulah ·people of special treasure· for his own possession, above all peoples who are on 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:

Adonai didn’t set his chasak ·to set one’s affection, to make bands· on you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all 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 Adonai loves you, and because he desires to keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, Adonai has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt [Abode of slavery].

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;

Know therefore that Adonai your God himself is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and chesed ·loving-kindness· with them who 'ahav ·affectionately love· him and keep his mitzvot ·instructions· to a thousand generations,

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 repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them. He will not be slack to him who hates 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.

You shall therefore keep the mitzvot ·instructions·, the statutes, and the judgments, which I enjoin you today, 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;

It shall happen, because you sh'ma ·hear obey· these judgments, and keep and do them, that Adonai your God will keep with you the covenant and the chesed ·loving-kindness· which he swore to your 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.

He will 'ahav ·affectionately love· you, bless you, multiply you. He will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your livestock and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you.

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.

You shall be blessed above all peoples. There shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your livestock.

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.

Adonai will take away from you all sickness; and none of the evil diseases of Egypt [Abode of slavery], which you know, will he put on you, but will lay them on all those who hate you.

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.

You shall consume all the peoples whom Adonai your God shall deliver to you. Your eye shall not pity them: neither shall you abad ·serve· their deities; for that would be a snare to you.

17 Kapau ʻoku ke lau ʻi ho loto, ʻOku tokolahi hake ʻae ngaahi kakai ni ʻiate au; ʻe fēfeeʻi ʻeku faʻa kapusi ʻakinautolu?

If you shall say in your heart, “These nations are more 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.

you shall not be afraid of them. You shall remember well what Adonai your God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt [Abode of slavery];

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 your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which Adonai your God brought you out. So shall Adonai your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.

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 Adonai your God will send the hornet among them, until those who are left, and hide themselves, perish from before you.

21 ‌ʻE ʻikai te ke manavahē koe kiate kinautolu: he ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ko e ʻOtua māfimafi mo fakamanavahē.

You shall not be scared of them; for Adonai your God is among you, a great and awesome God.

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.

Adonai your God will cast out those nations before you little by little. You may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you.

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 Adonai your God will deliver them up before you, and will confuse them with a great confusion, 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.

He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name perish from under the sky. No one will be able to stand before you, until you have 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.

You shall burn the engraved images of their deities with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared in it; for it is an abomination to Adonai your 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.

You shall not bring an abomination into your house, and become a devoted thing like it. You shall utterly detest it, and you shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.
