1 N a reira me aroha koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kia mau ki tana ako, ki ana tikanga, ki tana i whakarite ai, me ana whakahau, i nga ra katoa.

“You shall therefore love the Lord your God, and always keep His charge, His statutes, His ordinances, and His commandments.

2 K ia mohio hoki koutou i tenei ra: kahore ano ia ahau e korero ana ki a koutou tamariki, kahore hoki ratou i mohio, kahore ano hoki i kite i te whakawhiu a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, i tona nui, i tona ringa kaha, i tona takakau i maro ra,

Know this day that I am not speaking with your sons who have not known and who have not seen the discipline of the Lord your God—His greatness, His mighty hand and His outstretched arm,

3 I ana merekara hoki, i ana mahi i meatia e ia i waenganui o Ihipa ki a Parao kingi o Ihipa, ki tona whenua katoa hoki;

and His signs and His works which He did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt and to all his land;

4 I tana hoki i mea ai ki te ope o Ihipa, ki o ratou hoiho, ki a ratou hariata; i a ia i mea ra i nga wai o te Moana Whero kia huri ki runga ki a ratou i to ratou whainga mai i a koutou, a huna iho ratou e Ihowa a mohoa noa nei;

and what He did to Egypt’s army, to its horses and its chariots, when He made the water of the Red Sea to engulf them while they were pursuing you, and the Lord completely destroyed them;

5 I nga mea hoki i mea ai ia ki a koutou i te koraha, a tae noa mai koutou ki tenei wahi;

and what He did to you in the wilderness until you came to this place;

6 I tana hoki i mea ai ki a Ratana raua ko Apirama, ki nga tama a Eriapa tama a Reupena; i te kowheratanga ake o te mangai o te whenua, a horomia ana ratou, me nga tangata o o ratou whare, me o ratou teneti hoki, me a ratou mea ora katoa, i waengan ui i a Iharaira katoa:

and what He did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben, when the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, their households, their tents, and every living thing that followed them, among all Israel—

7 K o o koutou kanohi ia kua kite i nga mahi nunui katoa a Ihowa i mahi ai ia.

but your own eyes have seen all the great work of the Lord which He did.

8 A e ra, kia mau ki nga whakahau katoa e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koe i tenei ra, kia kaha ai koe, kia tae atu ai hoki, kia whiwhi ai ki te whenua e haere atu nei koutou ki reira ki te tango;

“You shall therefore keep every commandment which I am commanding you today, so that you may be strong and go in and possess the land into which you are about to cross to possess it;

9 K ia roa ai hoki o koutou ra ki te whenua i oati ai a Ihowa ki ou matua kia hoatu ki a ratou, ki o ratou uri, he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi.

so that you may prolong your days on the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give to them and to their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 K o te whenua hoki e haere atu nei koe ki reira ki te tango, ehara i te pera me te whenua o Ihipa, i mahue atu ra i a koe, e whakato ai koe i tau purapura, e whakamakuku ai hoki ki tou waewae, ano he kari otaota:

For the land, into which you are entering to possess it, is not like the land of Egypt from which you came, where you used to sow your seed and water it with your foot like a vegetable garden.

11 E ngari he whenua pukepuke, he whenua raorao te whenua e haere atu nei koutou ki reira ki te tango, e inu ana hoki i te ua o te rangi hei wai;

But the land into which you are about to cross to possess it, a land of hills and valleys, drinks water from the rain of heaven,

12 H e whenua e matapoporetia ana e Ihowa, e tou Atua: kei reira tonu nga kanohi o Ihowa, o tou Atua, no te timatanga o te tau taea noatia te mutunga o te tau.

a land for which the Lord your God cares; the eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, from the beginning even to the end of the year.

13 A ki te whakarongo marie koutou ki aku whakahau e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koutou i tenei ra, kia aroha ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, kia whakapaua o koutou ngakau, o koutou wairua ki te mahi ki a ia,

“It shall come about, if you listen obediently to my commandments which I am commanding you today, to love the Lord your God and to serve Him with all your heart and all your soul,

14 N a ka hoatu e ahau te ua mo to koutou whenua i tona po ano, te ua mataati me te ua o muri, a ka kohikohi koe i tau witi, i tau waina, i tau hinu.

that He will give the rain for your land in its season, the early and late rain, that you may gather in your grain and your new wine and your oil.

15 A ka hoatu e ahau te tarutaru ki ou parae, ma au kararehe, a ka kai koe, ka makona.

He will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.

16 K ia mahara ki a koutou, kei mamingatia o koutou ngakau, kei peka ke koutou, kei mahi ki nga atua ke, kei koropiko ki a ratou;

Beware that your hearts are not deceived, and that you do not turn away and serve other gods and worship them.

17 A ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a koutou, a ka tutakina e ia te rangi, e kore ake ai te ua, e kore ai hoki e tukua mai e te whenua ona hua; na ka hohoro koutou te mate atu i te whenua pai ka homai nei e Ihowa ki a koutou.

Or the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you, and He will shut up the heavens so that there will be no rain and the ground will not yield its fruit; and you will perish quickly from the good land which the Lord is giving you.

18 E ngari rongoatia enei kupu aku ki roto ki o koutou ngakau, ki o koutou wairua; herea hoki hei tohu ki o koutou ringa, hei pare ano ki waenganui i o koutou kanohi.

“ You shall therefore impress these words of mine on your heart and on your soul; and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontals on your forehead.

19 W hakaakona atu hoki ki a koutou tamariki, korerotia ina noho i tou whare, ina haere koe i te huarahi, ina takoto, ina whakatika ranei.

You shall teach them to your sons, talking of them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road and when you lie down and when you rise up.

20 T uhituhia ano hoki ki nga pou tatau o tou whare, ki ou tatau hoki;

You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates,

21 K ia tini ai ou ra, me nga ra o a koutou tamariki ki te whenua i oati ai a Ihowa ki ou matua kia hoatu ki a ratou, kia rite ai ki nga ra o te rangi i runga i te whenua.

so that your days and the days of your sons may be multiplied on the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens remain above the earth.

22 K i te ata pupuri hoki koutou i enei whakahau katoa e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koutou kia mahia; ki te aroha ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, ki te haere hoki i ana huarahi, ki te awhi ki a ia;

For if you are careful to keep all this commandment which I am commanding you to do, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and hold fast to Him,

23 N a ka peia atu e Ihowa enei iwi katoa i to koutou aroaro, a ka riro i a koutou nga iwi he nui ake, he kaha ake i a koutou.

then the Lord will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than you.

24 M o koutou nga wahi katoa e takahia e te kapu o o koutou waewae: kei te koraha, ke Repanona hoki, kei te awa, kei Uparati, a tae noa ki te moana ki te hauauru, nga rohe ki a koutou.

Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours; your border will be from the wilderness to Lebanon, and from the river, the river Euphrates, as far as the western sea.

25 E kore e tu te tangata ki to koutou aroaro: ka whakapangia hoki e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, to koutou wehi, me to koutou tuiri ki te mata katoa o te whenua e takahia e koutou, ka rite ki tana i korero ai ki a koutou.

No man will be able to stand before you; the Lord your God will lay the dread of you and the fear of you on all the land on which you set foot, as He has spoken to you.

26 N ana, ka hoatu e ahau ki to koutou aroaro i tenei ra te manaaki me te kanga:

“ See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse:

27 T e manaaki, ki te rongo koutou ki nga whakahau a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koutou i tenei ra;

the blessing, if you listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I am commanding you today;

28 T e kanga hoki, ki te kahore koutou e rongo ki nga whakahau a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, a ka peka ke i te huarahi e kiia atu nei e ahau ki a koutou i tenei ra, ki te whai ki nga atua ke, kihai nei i mohiotia e koutou.

and the curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I am commanding you today, by following other gods which you have not known.

29 A tenei ake, a te wa e kawea ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki te whenua, ka haere atu nei koe ki reira ki te tango, na me hoatu e koe te manaaki ki runga ki Maunga Keritimi me te kanga ki runga ki Maunga Epara.

“It shall come about, when the Lord your God brings you into the land where you are entering to possess it, that you shall place the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.

30 K ahore ianei ena i tawahi o Horano, i te taha o te huarahi e to ai te ra, i te whenua o nga Kanaani e noho ana i te Arapaha i te ritenga atu o Kirikara, i te taha o nga oki i More?

Are they not across the Jordan, west of the way toward the sunset, in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah, opposite Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?

31 K a whiti atu hoki koutou i Horano, ka haere ki te tango i te whenua e homai ana e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, ki a koutou, a ka riro a reira i a koutou, a ka noho koutou ki reira.

For you are about to cross the Jordan to go in to possess the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and you shall possess it and live in it,

32 N a kia mahara ki te mahi i nga tikanga katoa, i nga whakaritenga e hoatu nei e ahau ki to koutou aroaro i tenei ra.

and you shall be careful to do all the statutes and the judgments which I am setting before you today.
