1 N ow listen and give heed, O Israel, to the statutes and ordinances which I teach you, and do them, that you may live and go in and possess the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, gives you.

Na, whakarongo mai ra inaianei, e Iharaira, ki nga tikanga, ki nga whakaritenga e whakaako atu nei ahau ki a koutou kia mahia; kia ora ai koutou, kia tae atu ai, kia noho ai hoki ki te whenua e homai nei e Ihowa, e te Atua o o koutou matua, ki a koutou.

2 Y ou shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

Ko te kupu, e whakahaua atu nei e ahau ki a koutou, kaua e tapiritia ki etahi atu, kaua ano e kinitia atu tetahi wahi ona; kia rite ai i a koutou nga whakahau a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, e whakahaua nei e ahau ki a koutou.

3 Y our eyes still see what the Lord did because of Baal-peor; for all the men who followed the Baal of Peor the Lord your God has destroyed from among you,

Kua kite o koutou kanohi i ta Ihowa i mea ai mo Paarapeoro: ko nga tangata katoa hoki i whai i a Paarapeoro whakamatea rawatia iho ratou e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, i roto i a koutou.

4 B ut you who clung fast to the Lord your God are alive, every one of you, this day.

Ko koutou ia, i awhi ra ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, e ora katoa ana i tenei ra.

5 B ehold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should do them in the land which you are entering to possess.

Titiro, kua whakaako ahau i a koutou ki nga tikanga, ki nga whakaritenga, ki a Ihowa, ki a toku Atua i ako ai ki ahau, hei mahi ma koutou i waenganui o te whenua e haere atu nei koutou ki reira ki te tango.

6 S o keep them and do them, for that is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who, when they hear all these statutes, will say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

Na puritia, mahia: ko to koutou whakaaro nui hoki ia, me to koutou mohio ki te titiro mai a nga tauiwi, a nga mea e rongo ana ki enei tikanga katoa, a ka mea ratou, Koia hoki, he hunga mohio, he hunga tupato tenei iwi nui.

7 F or what great nation is there who has a god so near to them as the Lord our God is to us in all things for which we call upon Him?

Ko wai hoki te iwi nui, e whiwhi ana ki te atua penei te tata ki a ratou me Ihowa, me to tatou Atua, e tata mai nei i a tatou karangaranga katoa ki a ia?

8 A nd what large and important nation has statutes and ordinances so upright and just as all this law which I set before you today?

Ko wai hoki te iwi nui, i a ia nei nga tikanga me nga whakaritenga tika, penei me tenei ture katoa e hoatu nei e ahau ki to koutou aroaro i tenei ra?

9 O nly take heed, and guard your life diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. Teach them to your children and your children’s children—

Mau ia koe e tiaki, me tiaki marie ano tou wairua, kei wareware ki nga mea i kite ai ou kanohi, kei riro atu hoki i roto i tou ngakau, i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe; engari me whakaako au tama, me nga tama hoki a au tama ki ena mea;

10 E specially how on the day that you stood before the Lord your God in Horeb, the Lord said to me, Gather the people together to Me and I will make them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live upon the earth and that they may teach their children.

Ki te ra ano hoki i tu ai koe i te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, i Horepa, i ta Ihowa meatanga mai ki ahau, Huihuia mai te iwi ki ahau, a maku e mea kia rongo ratou i aku korero, kia whakaakona ai kia wehi i ahau i nga ra katoa e ora ai ratou i ru nga i te whenua, hei whakaako atu ma ratou ki a ratou tama.

11 A nd you came near and stood at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of heaven, with darkness, cloud, and thick gloom.

Na ka whakatata koutou, ka tu hoki i raro iho o te maunga; ko te maunga hoki ka tonu i te ahi, a kakati noa ki waenganui o te rangi, te pouri! te kapua! na, pouri kerekere.

12 A nd the Lord spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. You heard the voice of the words, but saw no form; there was only a voice.

Na ka korero mai a Ihowa ki a koutou i waenganui o te ahi: ko te puakanga mai o nga kupu ta koutou i rongo ai, tena ko tetahi ahau kihai i kitea; heoi ano ko te reo kau.

13 A nd He declared to you His covenant, which He commanded you to perform, the Ten Commandments, and He wrote them on two tables of stone.

Na ka kauwhautia e ia ki a koutou tana kawenata, i whakahaua e ia ki a koutou kia whakaritea, ara nga ture kotahi tekau, a tuhituhia iho e ia ki nga papa kohatu e rua.

14 A nd the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you the statutes and precepts, that you might do them in the land which you are going over to possess.

I whakahau ano a Ihowa i ahau i taua wa, kia whakaakona koutou ki nga tikanga, ki nga whakaritenga, hei mahi ma koutou ki te whenua e haere atu nei koutou ki reira ki te tango.

15 T herefore take good heed to yourselves, since you saw no form of Him on the day the Lord spoke to you on Horeb out of the midst of the fire,

Tiakina marietia ra o koutou wairua; kihai hoki koutou i kite i tetahi ahua, me he aha, me he aha, i te ra i korero ai a Ihowa ki a koutou i Horepa, i waenganui o te ahi;

16 B eware lest you become corrupt by making for yourselves a graven image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

Kei he koutou, kei hanga i te whakapakoko ma koutou, i te ritenga o tetahi tauira, i te ahua o te tane, o te wahine ranei;

17 T he likeness of any beast that is on the earth, or of any winged fowl that flies in the air,

I te ahua o tetahi kararehe o te whenua, i te ahua o tetahi manu whai parirau e rererere ana i te rangi,

18 T he likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, or of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth.

I te ahua o tetahi mea e ngokingoki ana i te whenua, i te ahua o tetahi ika i roto i te wai i raro iho o te whenua:

19 A nd beware lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens, and when you see the sun, moon, and stars, even all the host of the heavens, you be drawn away and worship them and serve them, things which the Lord your God has allotted to all nations under the whole heaven.

Kei anga ake ranei ou kanohi ki te rangi, ka kite i te ra, i te marama ranei, i nga whetu, i te ope katoa o te rangi, na ka takina atu koe ki te koropiko atu ki ena mea, ki te mahi atu hoki ki ena mea, i tuwhaina mai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, mo nga iwi katoa i raro o te rangi, puta noa, puta noa.

20 B ut the Lord has taken you and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to Him a people of His own possession, as you are this day.

Na Ihowa ia koutou i tango, nana hoki koutou i whakaputa mai i roto i te oumu rino, i Ihipa, kia waiho ai hei iwi tupu mana, me koutou inaianei.

21 F urthermore the Lord was angry with me because of you, and He swore that I should not go over the Jordan and that I should not enter the good land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance.

I riri mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau mo ta koutou hoki, a oati mai ana e kore ahau e whiti i Horano, e kore ano e tae ki te whenua pai, ka homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe hei kainga tupu.

22 B ut I must die in this land; I must not cross the Jordan; but you shall go over and possess that good land.

Engari ka mate ahau ki tenei whenua, e kore ahau nei e whiti i Horano: ko koutou ia ka whiti, ka tango hoki i taua whenua pai.

23 T ake heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the Lord your God which He made with you, and make for yourselves a graven image in the form of anything which the Lord your God has forbidden you.

Kia tupato, kei wareware ki te kawenata a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, i whakaritea e ia ki a koutou, kei hanga hoki he whakapakoko ma koutou ki te ritenga o tetahi mea i riria mai nei koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua.

24 F or the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

Ko Ihowa hoki, ko tou Atua, he ahi e ki ana, he Atua hae ia.

25 W hen children shall be born to you, and children’s children, and you have grown old in the land, if you corrupt yourselves by making a graven image in the form of anything, and do evil in the sight of the Lord your God, provoking Him to anger,

E whanau au tamariki me nga tamariki a au tamariki, a ka roa to koutou noho ki te whenua, a ka taka koutou, ka hanga hoki i te whakapakoko ki te ahua o tetahi mea, a ka mahi i te mea e kino ana ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tou Atua, hei whakapatarita ri i a ia:

26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day that you shall soon utterly perish from the land which you are going over the Jordan to possess. You will not live long upon it but will be utterly destroyed.

Ka waiho e ahau i tenei ra te rangi me te whenua hei kaititiro mo koutou, mo te matenga hoki e hohoro ai koutou te mate atu i te whenua e whiti atu nei koutou i Horano ki reira, ki te tango; e kore e roa o koutou ra ki reira, engari ka tino ngar o rawa koutou.

27 A nd the Lord will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations to which the Lord will drive you.

A ka whakamarara a Ihowa i a koutou ki nga tauiwi, a he hunga torutoru o koutou e toe i roto i nga tauiwi, e kawea atu ai koutou e Ihowa ki reira.

28 T here you will serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.

A ka mahi koutou i reira ki nga atua i hanga e nga ringa tangata, ki te rakau, ki te kohatu, e kore nei e kite, e kore e rongo, e kore e kai, e kore ano e hongi.

29 B ut if from there you will seek (inquire for and require as necessity) the Lord your God, you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and soul and life.

Otiia ki te rapu koe i reira i a Ihowa, i tou Atua, na ka kitea e koe, ki te whakapaua katoatia tou ngakau me tou wairua ki te rapu i a ia.

30 W hen you are in tribulation and all these things come upon you, in the latter days you will turn to the Lord your God and be obedient to His voice.

Ki te mate koe, a ka pono ki a koe enei mea katoa i nga ra a muri ake nei, ka hoki koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, ka whakarongo ano hoki ki tona reo;

31 F or the Lord your God is a merciful God; He will not fail you or destroy you or forget the covenant of your fathers, which He swore to them.

He atua tohu hoki a Ihowa, tou Atua; e kore ia e whakarere i a koe, e kore ano hoki e whakangaro i a koe, e kore hoki e wareware ki te kawenata ki ou matua, i oati ai ia ki a ratou.

32 F or ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from one end of the heavens to the other, whether such a great thing as this has ever occurred or been heard of anywhere.

Ui atu hoki ki nga rangi onamata, o mua i a koe, o te ra i hanga ai e te Atua te tangata ki runga ki te whenua, i tetahi pito o te rangi paku noa ki tetahi pito o te rangi, i puta mai ranei tetahi mea hei rite mo tenei mea te nui, i rangona rane i he rite ki tenei?

33 D id ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you heard, and live?

I rongo ranei tetahi iwi i te reo o te Atua e korero mai ana i waenganui o te ahi, me tau i rongo ai, a ora ake?

34 O r has God ever tried to go and take for Himself a nation from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand, by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, as the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

I whakamatau ranei te Atua te haere iho, te tango i tetahi iwi mana i waenganui i tetahi iwi ke, i runga i nga whakamatau, i nga tohu, i nga merekara, i te whawhai, i te ringaringa kaha, i te ringaringa maro, i nga whakawehi nui, i nga mea katoa i mea ai a Ihowa, to koutou Atua ki a koutou, ki to koutou aroaro i Ihipa?

35 T o you it was shown, that you might realize and have personal knowledge that the Lord is God; there is no other besides Him.

I whakakitea mai ai ena mea ki a koe kia mohio ai koe ki a Ihowa, ko ia te Atua; kahore ke atu i a ia.

36 O ut of heaven He made you hear His voice, that He might correct, discipline, and admonish you; and on earth He made you see His great fire, and you heard His words out of the midst of the fire.

I meatia koe e ia kia rongo ki tona reo i te rangi, hei whakaako i a koe: a i te whenua i whakakitea e ia tana ahi nui ki a koe; ko ana kupu hoki i rangona e koe i waenganui i te ahi.

37 A nd because He loved your fathers, He chose their descendants after them, and brought you out from Egypt with His own Presence, by His mighty power,

A, no te mea i aroha ia ki ou matua, koia i whiriwhiria ai e ia o ratou uri i muri i a ratou, i whakaputaina mai ai hoki koe i Ihipa, me tana titiro tonu iho, i runga ano i tona kaha nui;

38 D riving out nations from before you, greater and mightier than yourselves, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day;

I mea ai ki te pei i nga iwi he nui, he kaha i a koe i tou aroaro, ki te kawe i a koe, ki te hoatu i to ratou oneone ki a koe hei kainga pumau; koia tenei inaianei.

39 K now, recognize, and understand therefore this day and turn your heart to it that the Lord is God in the heavens above and upon the earth beneath; there is no other.

Na kia mohio koe i tenei ra, kia whakaaro hoki i roto i tou ngakau, ko Ihowa, ko ia te Atua i te rangi i runga, i te whenua hoki i raro; kahore ke atu.

40 T herefore you shall keep His statutes and His commandments, which I command you this day, that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may prolong your days in the land which the Lord your God gives you forever.

Na kia mau ki ana tikanga, ki ana whakahau, e whakahaua nei e ahau i tenei ra ki a koe, hei pai hoki mou, mo au tama i muri i a koe, kia roa ai ou ra ki te whenua ka hoatu nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua ki a koe a ake tonu atu.

41 T hen Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan to the east,

Katahi a Mohi ka motuhake i nga pa e toru i tenei taha o Horano, whaka te rawhiti;

42 T hat the manslayer might flee there, who slew his neighbor unintentionally and had not previously been at enmity with him, that fleeing to one of these cities he might save his life:

Hei rerenga atu mo te tangata whakamate, i whakamate i tona hoa, otiia ehara i te mea ata whakaaro, ehara hoki i te hoariri nona i mua; na ka rere ia ki tetahi o aua pa, a ka ora;

43 B ezer in the wilderness on the tableland, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.

Ara i Pehere i te koraha, i te whenua mania, mo nga Reupeni; i Ramoto i Kireara, mo nga Kari; i Korana i Pahana, mo nga Manahi.

44 T his is the law which Moses set before the Israelites.

A, ko te ture tenei i hoatu e Mohi ki te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira:

45 T hese are the testimonies and the laws and the precepts which Moses spoke to the Israelites when they came out of Egypt,

Ko nga whakaaturanga ano enei, me nga tikanga, me nga whakaritenga i korerotia e Mohi ki nga tama a Iharaira, i to ratou putanga mai i Ihipa,

46 B eyond the Jordan in the valley opposite Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the Israelites smote when they came out of Egypt.

I tenei taha o Horano, i te raorao i te ritenga atu o Petepeoro, i te whenua o Hihona, o te kingi o nga Amori, i noho ra i Hehepona, i patua ra e Mohi ratou ko nga tama a Iharaira, i to ratou putanga mai i Ihipa;

47 A nd they took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who lived beyond the Jordan to the east,

A tangohia ana tona whenua e ratou, me te whenua hoki o Oka, o te kingi o Pahana, to nga kingi tokorua o nga Amori, i tenei taha o Horano, whaka te rawhiti;

48 F rom Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, as far as Mount Sirion (that is, Hermon),

O Aroera i te taha o te awa o Aranona, a Maunga Hiona, ara a Heremona,

49 A nd all the Arabah (lowlands) beyond the Jordan eastward, as far as the Sea of the Arabah, under the slopes and springs of Pisgah.

Me te Arapaha katoa i tera taha o Horano, whaka te rawhiti, a tae noa ki te moana o te Arapaha, i raro iho i nga titahatanga o Pihika.
