1 “ At that time the Lord said to me, ‘Hew for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to Me on the mountain and make yourself an ark of wood.

I reira ano ka korero mai a Ihowa ki ahau, Haua e koe kia rua nga papa kohatu, kia rite ki o te timatanga, ka haere ake ai ki ahau ki te maunga, hanga hoki e koe he aaka rakau.

2 A nd I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke; and you shall put them in the ark.’

A maku e tuhituhi ki nga papa nga kupu o nga papa o mua, i wahia ra e koe, a me hoatu e koe ki roto ki te aaka.

3 “ So I made an ark of acacia wood, hewed two tablets of stone like the first, and went up the mountain, having the two tablets in my hand.

Na hanga ana e ahau he aaka, he hitimi te rakau, taraia ana hoki e ahau nga papa kohatu e rua, rite tonu ki o mua, na ka piki ahau ki te maunga me nga papa e rua i toku ringa.

4 A nd He wrote on the tablets according to the first writing, the Ten Commandments, which the Lord had spoken to you in the mountain from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly; and the Lord gave them to me.

Na ka tuhituhi ia ki nga papa, rite tonu ki to mua tuhituhinga, i nga ture kotahi tekau i korerotia mai e Ihowa ki a koutou i te maunga, i waenganui o te ahi, i te ra o te huihuinga; a homai ana e Ihowa ki ahau.

5 T hen I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the ark which I had made; and there they are, just as the Lord commanded me.”

Na tahuri ana ahau, heke iho ana i te maunga, a whaowhina ana nga papa ki roto ki te aaka i hanga e ahau, a kei reira na ano, ko ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki ahau.

6 ( Now the children of Israel journeyed from the wells of Bene Jaakan to Moserah, where Aaron died, and where he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered as priest in his stead.

Na ka haere atu nga tama a Iharaira i Peerota Pene Iakana ki Mohera: a ka mate a Arona ki reira, a tanumai iho ki reira; na ko tana tama, ko Ereatara te tohunga i muri i a ia.

7 F rom there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of rivers of water.

I haere atu ratou i reira a Kurekora; i Kurekora atu ki Iotopata, he whenua awa wai.

8 A t that time the Lord separated the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister to Him and to bless in His name, to this day.

I taua wa ano ka wehea e Ihowa te iwi o Riwai hei amo i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, hei tu ki te aroaro o Ihowa, hei minita ki a ia, hei manaaki hoki i runga i tona ingoa a mohoa noa nei.

9 T herefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; the Lord is his inheritance, just as the Lord your God promised him.)

No reira i kore ai tetahi wahi mo Riwai, tetahi kainga tuturu i roto i ona tuakana, i ona teina: ko tona kainga tuturu ko Ihowa, rite tonu ki ta Ihowa, ki ta tou Atua, i korero ai ki a ia.

10 “ As at the first time, I stayed in the mountain forty days and forty nights; the Lord also heard me at that time, and the Lord chose not to destroy you.

A i noho ahau i te maunga, ko nga ra he pera me o mua, e wha tekau nga ra, e wha tekau nga po; a i rongo mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau i reira; kihai a Ihowa i aro ki te whakamate i a koe.

11 T hen the Lord said to me, ‘Arise, begin your journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.’ The Essence of the Law

A ka mea mai a Ihowa ki ahau, Whakatika, haere atu i tou huarahi i mua i te iwi; a me haere ratou ki te tango i te whenua, i oati ai ahau ki o ratou matua kia hoatu ki a ratou.

12 “ And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

Na, he aha, e Iharaira, ta Ihowa, ta tou Atua, e mea nei i a koe? Ehara oti i te wehi i a Ihowa, i tou Atua, i te haere i ana haerenga katoa, i te aroha ki a ia, i te mahi hoki ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, tou ngakau katoa, tou wairua katoa,

13 a nd to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you today for your good?

I te pupuri hoki i nga whakahau a Ihowa, i ana tikanga e whakahaua nei e ahau i tenei ra ki a koe, hei pai mou?

14 I ndeed heaven and the highest heavens belong to the Lord your God, also the earth with all that is in it.

Nana, no Ihowa, no tou Atua, te rangi me te rangi o nga rangi, te whenua me ona mea katoa.

15 T he Lord delighted only in your fathers, to love them; and He chose their descendants after them, you above all peoples, as it is this day.

Ko Ihowa anake i ahuareka ki ou matua, i aroha ki a ratou, a ko o ratou uri i muri i a ratou, ara ko koutou, tana i whiriwhiri ai o nga iwi katoa; koia ano tenei inaianei.

16 T herefore circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and be stiff-necked no longer.

Kotia ra e koutou te kiri matamata o o koutou ngakau, kaua hoki e whakamarokia ano o koutou kaki.

17 F or the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe.

Ko Ihowa hoki, ko tou Atua, ko ia te Atua o nga atua, te Ariki o nga ariki, he Atua nui ia, he kaha, he whakamataku, e kore nei e whakapai kanohi, e kore ano hoki e tango utu.

18 H e administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing.

E whakahaere ana ia i te tikanga mo te pani, mo te pouaru, e aroha ana ki te manene, e hoatu ana hoki he taro, he kakahu mona.

19 T herefore love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

No reira kia aroha koutou ki te manene; he manene hoki koutou i mua, i te whenua o Ihipa.

20 Y ou shall fear the Lord your God; you shall serve Him, and to Him you shall hold fast, and take oaths in His name.

Ko Ihowa, ko tou Atua, tau e wehi ai, me mahi ano ki a ia, me awhi ki a ia, me waiho hoki tona ingoa hei oati.

21 H e is your praise, and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen.

Ko ia tau e whakamoemiti ai, ko ia hoki tou Atua, i mahi nei i enei mea nunui, i enei mea whakawehi, i kite ra ou kanohi.

22 Y our fathers went down to Egypt with seventy persons, and now the Lord your God has made you as the stars of heaven in multitude.

Ko ou matua, i heke atu ra ki Ihipa, e whitu tekau nga tangata; na, inaianei ka oti koe te mea e Ihowa, e tou Atua, kia rite ki nga whetu o te rangi te tini.
