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; in order that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and take possession of the land which the Lord hath sworn 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, in order to afflict thee, to prove thee, to know what is in thy heart, whether thou wouldst keep his commandments, or not.

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 he gave thee manna to eat, which thou knewest not, and which thy fathers had not known; in order that he might make thee know that not by bread alone man doth live, 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 garment did not fall worn out from thee, and thy foot did not 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 doth the Lord thy God chasten 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 that spring out of valleys and mountains;

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 of the vine, and the fig-tree, and the pomegranate; a land of the oil-olive, and of 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, wherein thou shalt not lack anything; a land the stones whereof are iron, and out of the mountains of which thou canst hew copper.

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 when thou hast eaten and art satisfied, then shalt thou 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:

Take heed unto thyself that thou forget not the Lord thy God, so as not to keep 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;

That 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 are 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;

Thy heart be then not lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, who hath brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery;

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 hath led thee through the great and terrible wilderness, wherein are snakes, poisonous serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there is no water; who hath brought forth for thee water out of the flinty rock;

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 hath fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not; in order to afflict thee, and in order to 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 strength of my hand have 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; in order that he might fulfill his covenant which he hath sworn 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 come to pass, that, if thou shouldst forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and bow thyself down to them, I testify against 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.

Like the nations which the Lord destroyeth from before you, so shall ye perish; in recompense of that ye would not hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God.
