1 A tenei ake, a te wa e tae ai koe ki te whenua e homai e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe hei kainga tuturu, a ka riro a reira i a koe, a ka noho koe ki reira;

¶ And it shall be when thou art come in unto the land, which the LORD thy God gives thee for an inheritance and possess it and dwell therein,

2 N a ka tango koe i etahi o nga mea matamua o nga hua katoa o te whenua, e mauria mai e koe i tou oneone, ka homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe; a me whawhao e koe ki te kete, ka haere ai ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, kia waiho tona ingoa ki reira.

thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God gives thee, and shalt put it in a basket and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to cause his name to dwell.

3 N a ka haere koe ki te tohunga e minita ana i aua ra, ka mea ki a ia, Tenei ahau te korero nui nei i tenei ra ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kua tae mai ahau ki te whenua i oati ai a Ihowa ki o tatou matua kia homai ki a tatou.

And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days and say unto him, I declare today unto the LORD thy God that I have entered into the land which the LORD swore unto our fathers to give us.

4 N a ka tango te tohunga i te kete i tou ringa, ka whakatakoto hoki ki mau o te aata a Ihowa, a tou Atua.

And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God.

5 K o reira koe oho atu ai, mea ai ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, Ko toku matua he Hiriani, i ora noa i te mate; a haere ana ia ki raro, ki Ihipa, a noho ana i reira, he hunga torutoru; na meinga ana ia hei iwi nui i reira, he kaha, he tini:

Then thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, My father, the Syrian, perishing of hunger went down into Egypt and sojourned there with a few and became there a nation, great, mighty, and many;

6 N a tukinotia ana matou e nga Ihipiana, whakawhiua ana matou, a he kino ta ratou whakamahinga i a matou:

and the Egyptians mistreated us and afflicted us and laid upon us hard bondage.

7 A ka tangi matou ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o o matou matua, na whakarongo mai ana a Ihowa ki to matou reo, titiro mai ana ki to matou whakawhiunga, ki to matou whakamahinga, ki to matou tukinotanga:

And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice and looked on our affliction and our labour and our oppression.

8 N a whakaputaina mai ana matou e Ihowa i Ihipa ki te ringa kaha, ki te takakau maro tonu, me te whakamataku nui, me nga tohu, me nga merekara:

And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm and with great terribleness and with signs and with wonders;

9 A kawea mai ana matou e ia ki tenei wahi, a homai ana ki a matou tenei whenua, he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi.

and he has brought us into this place and has given us this land, even a land that flows with milk and honey.

10 N a, titiro, kau kawea mai nei e ahau nga hua matamua o te whenua i homai nei e koe, e Ihowa, ki ahau. Katahi koe ka whakatakoto atu ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, me te koropiko ano ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua:

And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God and worship before the LORD thy God.

11 K a koa hoki ki nga mea pai katoa i homai e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koutou ko tou whare, a koe, me te Riwaiti me te manene i roto i a koe.

And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the LORD thy God has given unto thee and unto thine house, thou and the Levite and the stranger that is among you.

12 K a pae nga whakatekau katoa o au hua i te toru o nga tau, i te tau whakatekau, me hoatu e koe ki te Riwaiti, ki te manene, ki te pani, ki te pouaru, kia kainga i roto i ou kuwaha, a ka makona;

¶ When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thy fruits the third year, which is the year of tithing and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates and be filled;

13 A ka mea koe ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua Kua poto mai i ahau i roto i toku whare nga mea tapu, kua hoatu ano e ahau ki te Riwaiti, ki te manene, ki te pani, ki te pouaru, kua rite i ahau au whakahau katoa i whakahau ai koe ki ahau; kahore a hau i whakapaheke i tetahi o au whakahau, kahore ano i wareware:

then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought the consecrated things out of my house and also have given them unto the Levite and unto the stranger to the fatherless and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me; I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them.

14 K ihai i kainga e ahau tetahi wahi i ahau e noho taua ana; kihai i tangohia e ahau tetahi wahi mo te poke, kihai ano hoki i hoatu hei mea tupapaku: i whakarongo ahau ki te reo o Ihowa, o toku Atua, rite tonu aku mahi ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua e koe ki ahau.

I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken out any of it being unclean, nor have I given any of it for the dead; but I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.

15 T itiro iho i tou nohoanga tapu, i te rangi, manaakitia hoki tau iwi, a Iharaira, me te oneone i homai nei e koe ki a matou, pera me tau i oati ai ki o matou matua, he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu e te honi.

Look down from the habitation of thy holiness, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel and the land which thou hast given us, as thou didst sware unto our fathers, a land that flows with milk and honey.

16 N o tenei ra a Ihowa, tou Atua, i whakahau ai i a koe, kia mahia enei tikanga, me enei whakaritenga: na puritia e koe, mahia, e tou ngakau katoa, e tou wairua katoa.

¶ Today the LORD thy God has commanded thee to comply with these statutes and rights; take care, therefore, to keep and do them with all thine heart and with all thy soul.

17 K ua whakaae koe i tenei ra ki a Ihowa hei Atua mou, kia haere i ana huarahi, kia whakaritea hoki ana tikanga, me ana whakahau, me ana whakaritenga, kia rongo ano hoki ki tona reo:

Thou hast lifted up the LORD today to be thy God and to walk in his ways and to keep his statutes and his commandments and his rights and to hearken unto his voice.

18 A kua whakaae hoki a Ihowa ki a koe i tenei ra hei iwi mana, motuhake rawa, hei pera me tana i korero ai ki a koe, hei pupuri hoki i ana whakahau katoa;

And the LORD has lifted thee up this day to be his unique people, as he has promised thee, and that thou should keep all his commandments,

19 H ei mea kia teitei ake koe i nga iwi katoa i hanga e ia, te whakamoemiti, te ingoa, te kororia; kia waiho hoki koe hei iwi tapu ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua, hei pera me tana i korero ai.

and to make thee high above all the Gentiles which he has made, in praise, and in fame, and in glory; and that thou may be a holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he has spoken.
