Teutalonome 8

1 “Ko e ngaahi fekau kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni ke mou tokanga ki ai ʻo fai, koeʻuhi ke mou moʻui, pea tupu ʻo tokolahi, pea ʻalu atu ʻo maʻu ʻae fonua ʻaia naʻe fuakava ai ʻe Sihova ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai.

All the commandment which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers.

2 Pea te ke manatu ki he hala kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe tataki ai koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ni ʻi he toafa, ke fakaangavaivaiʻi koe, ke ʻahiʻahiʻi koe, pea ke ʻilo ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ho loto, pe te ke tauhi ki heʻene ngaahi fekau, pe ʻikai.

And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness, that He might afflict thee, to prove thee, to know what was in thy heart, whether thou wouldest keep His commandments, or no.

3 Pea naʻa ne fakavaivaiʻi koe, ʻo ne tuku koe ke ke fiekaia, pea naʻa ne fafanga ʻaki koe ʻae mana, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe hoʻo ngaahi tamai; koeʻuhi ke ne fakahā kiate koe ʻoku ʻikai moʻui ʻae tangata ʻi he mā pe, ka ʻoku moʻui ʻae tangata ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku haʻu mei he fofonga ʻo Sihova.

And He afflicted thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that He might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every thing that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

4 Naʻe ʻikai fakaʻaʻau ʻo motuʻa ho ngaahi kofu, pea naʻe ʻikai fufula ho vaʻe, ʻi he taʻu ni ʻe fāngofulu.

Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.

5 Pea te ke tokanga mo ʻilo ʻi ho loto foki, ʻoku hangē ko e tautea ʻe he tangata hono foha, ʻoku pehē pe ʻae tautea koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

And thou shalt consider in thy heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

6 Ko ia, ke ke tauhi ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke ʻalu ʻi hono ngaahi hala, pea ke manavahē kiate ia.

And thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in His ways, and to fear Him.

7 He ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻoku ne ʻomi koe ki he fonua lelei, ko e fonua ʻoe ngaahi vaitafe, ʻoe ngaahi matavai mo e loloto ʻoku tupu mei he ngaahi luo mo e ngaahi moʻunga;

For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths, springing forth in valleys and hills;

8 Ko e fonua ʻoe uite mo e paʻale, mo e ngaahi vaine, mo e ʻakau ko e fiki, mo e pomikanite; ko e fonua ʻoe ʻakau ko e ʻolive fai lolo, mo e honi;

a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig-trees and pomegranates; a land of olive-trees and honey;

9 Ko e fonua ke ke kai mā taʻehahonge, ʻe ʻikai te ke masiva ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi ai; ʻae fonua ʻoku maka ʻaki ʻae ʻaione, pea te ke keli mei hono ngaahi moʻunga ʻae palasa.

a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.

10 ‌ʻOka ke ka kai ʻo mākona, te ke toki fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko e fonua lelei ʻaia kuo ne foaki kiate koe.

And thou shalt eat and be satisfied, and bless the LORD thy God for the good land which He hath given thee.

11 “Vakai ke ʻoua naʻa ke fakangaloʻi ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻi he liʻaki ʻo ʻene ngaahi fekau, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamaau, mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni:

Beware lest thou forget the LORD thy God, in not keeping His commandments, and His ordinances, and His statutes, which I command thee this day;

12 Telia naʻa hili hoʻo kai ʻo mākona, pea kuo ke langa hao ngaahi fale lelei, ʻo nofo ai;

lest when thou hast eaten and art satisfied, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;

13 Pea kuo tupu ʻo lahi hoʻo fanga manu lalahi mo hoʻo fanga manu siʻi, pea kuo tupu ʻo lahi hoʻo siliva mo hoʻo koula, pea kuo tupu ʻo lahi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke maʻu;

and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;

14 Pea toki hiki hake ho loto, pea ke fakangalongaloʻi ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi koe kituaʻā mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he fale ʻoe pōpula;

then thy heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;

15 ‌ʻAia naʻa ne tataki atu koe ʻi he fuʻu toafa lahi mo fakamanavahē ko ia, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ngata vela, mo e ngaahi sikopio, mo e laʻāina, pea naʻe ʻikai ha vai ʻi ai; ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi vai kiate koe mei he maka afi;

who led thee through the great and dreadful wilderness, wherein were serpents, fiery serpents, and scorpions, and thirsty ground where was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;

16 ‌ʻAia naʻa ne fafangaʻi koe ʻi he toafa ʻaki ʻae mana, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe hoʻo ngaahi tamai, koeʻuhi ke ne fakavaivaiʻi koe, pea koeʻuhi ke ne ʻahiʻahiʻi koe, ke fai lelei kiate koe ʻi ho ikuʻanga:

who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that He might afflict thee, and that He might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;

17 Pea telia naʻa ke pehē ʻi ho loto, Ko hoku mālohi mo e mafai ʻo hoku nima kuo ne lavaʻi ʻae ngaahi koloa ni maʻaku.

and thou say in thy heart: 'My power and the might of my hand hath gotten me this wealth.'

18 Ka ke manatu koe kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: he ko ia ia ʻoku ne foaki kiate koe ʻae mafai ke maʻu ʻae koloa, koeʻuhi ke ne fakamaʻu ʻene fuakava ʻaia naʻa ne fuakava ai ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai, ʻo hangē ko ia he ʻaho ni.

But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God, for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

19 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, kapau ʻoku ke fakangalongaloʻi ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo ʻalu ʻo muimui ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua

And it shall be, if thou shalt forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I forewarn you this day that ye shall surely perish.

20 Hangē ko e ngaahi kakai ʻoku fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova mei homou ʻao, ʻe pehē pe hoʻomou ʻauha; ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou taʻefietalangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.

As the nations that the LORD maketh to perish before you, so shall ye perish; because ye would not hearken unto the voice of the LORD your God.
