1 “ Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.

A tenei ake, ki te ata whakarongo koe ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ki te mau ki te mahi i ana whakahau katoa e whakahau atu nei ahau i tenei ra ki a koe, na ka whakanui a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe ki runga ake i nga iwi katoa o te whenua:

2 A nd all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God:

A ka tae mai enei manaaki katoa ki a koe, ka hopu i a koe, ki te whakarongo koe ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua.

3 “ Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.

Ka manaakitia koe i roto i te pa, ka manaakitia hoki koe i te mara.

4 “ Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

Ka manaakitia nga hua o tou kopu, me nga hua o tou oneone, me nga hua o au kararehe, nga uri o au kau, me nga kuao o au hipi.

5 “ Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.

Ka manaakitia tau kete me tau pokepokenga paraoa.

6 “ Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

Ka manaakitia koe ina haere mai, ka manaakitia hoki ina haere atu.

7 “ The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.

Ka meinga e Ihowa ou hoariri e whakatika ana ki a koe kia tukitukia i tou aroaro: kotahi ano te ara e puta mai ai ratou ki a koe, a e whitu nga ara e rere atu ai ratou i tou aroaro.

8 “ The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

Ka whakahau a Ihowa i te manaaki mou, mo ou whare taonga, mo nga mea katoa hoki e toro atu ai tou ringa; a ka manaaki ia i a koe ki te whenua ka homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe.

9 “ The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways.

Ka whakatuturutia koe e Ihowa hei iwi tapu mana, ka peratia me tana i oati ai ki a koe; ki te mau koe ki nga whakahau a Ihowa, a tou Atua, ki te haere i ana huarahi.

10 T hen all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you.

A ka kite nga iwi katoa o te whenua kua huaina iho te ingoa o Ihowa ki a koe; a ka wehi i a koe.

11 A nd the Lord will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you.

A ka whakanui rawa a Ihowa i te pai mou, ka whai hua hoki tou kopu, ka whai hua au kararehe, ka whai hua tou oneone, i te whenua i oati ai a Ihowa ki ou matua kia hoatu ki a koe.

12 T he Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.

Ka whakatuwheratia e Ihowa ki a koe tana taonga pai, te rangi hei homai i te ua ki tou whenua i tona po ano, hei manaaki hoki i nga mahi katoa a tou ringa: a ka tuku moni atu koe ki nga iwi maha, e kore ano koe e tango i te moni tarewa.

13 A nd the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.

A ka meinga koe e Ihowa hei upoko, e kore hoki e waiho hei hiku; ki runga anake koe, a kahore ki raro; ki te whakarongo koe ki nga whakahau a Ihowa, a tou Atua, e whakahau atu nei ahau i tenei ra ki a koe, a ka puritia e koe, ka mahia;

14 S o you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right or the left, to go after other gods to serve them. Curses on Disobedience

Ki te kore e peka atu i tetahi o nga kupu e whakahau nei ahau i tenei ra ki a koe, ki matau ranei, ki maui ranei, whai ai ki nga atua ke, mahi ai ki a ratou.

15 “ But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:

Engari ki te kore koe e whakarongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, e mau hoki ki te mahi i ana whakahau katoa, i ana tikanga, e whakahau atu nei ahau i tenei ra ki a koe; na ka tae mai ki a koe, ka hopu i a koe, enei kanga katoa.

16 “ Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country.

Ka kanga koe i te pa, ka kanga koe i te mara.

17 “ Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.

Ka kanga tau kete me tau pokepokenga paraoa.

18 “ Cursed shall be the fruit of your body and the produce of your land, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

Ka kanga te hua o tou kopu, me te hua o tou oneone, te uri o au kau, me nga kuao o au hipi.

19 “ Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.

Ka kanga koe i tou haerenga mai, ka kanga hoki koe i tou haerenga atu.

20 “ The Lord will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doings in which you have forsaken Me.

Ka tukua e Ihowa ki a koe te kanga, te tuatea me te whakatupehupehu, ki nga mea katoa e toro atu ai tou ringa ki te mahi, kia ngaro ra ano koe, kia hohoro ra ano te mate atu; mo te kino o au mahi, i whakarere nei koe i ahau.

21 T he Lord will make the plague cling to you until He has consumed you from the land which you are going to possess.

Ka meinga e Ihowa te mate uruta kia piri tonu ki a koe, kia whakapotoa atu ra ano koe e ia i runga i te whenua e haere atu na koe ki reira ki te tango.

22 T he Lord will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with severe burning fever, with the sword, with scorching, and with mildew; they shall pursue you until you perish.

Ka whiua koe e Ihowa ki te kohi, ki te kirika, ki te mumura, ki te toronga nui, ki te hoari, ki te tauraki, te hopurupuru; a ka whai ena i a koe a ngaro noa koe.

23 A nd your heavens which are over your head shall be bronze, and the earth which is under you shall be iron.

A ka whakaparahi tou rangi i runga i tou mahunga, ka whakarino hoki te whenua i raro i a koe.

24 T he Lord will change the rain of your land to powder and dust; from the heaven it shall come down on you until you are destroyed.

Ka homai e Ihowa hei ua mo tou whenua te puehu me te nehu: ka rere iho taua mea i te rangi ki runga ki a koe, kia ngaro ra ano koe.

25 “ The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies; you shall go out one way against them and flee seven ways before them; and you shall become troublesome to all the kingdoms of the earth.

Ka mea a Ihowa kia patua koe ki te aroaro o ou hoariri: kotahi ano te ara e haere atu ai koe ki a ia, a e whitu nga ara e rere ai koe i tona aroaro: a ka makamakaia haeretia koe i waenganui o nga rangatiratanga katoa o te whenua.

26 Y our carcasses shall be food for all the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and no one shall frighten them away.

A ka ai tou tinana mate hei kai ma nga manu katoa o te rangi, ma nga karaehe hoki o te whenua, a kahore he tangata hei whakawehi atu i a ratou.

27 T he Lord will strike you with the boils of Egypt, with tumors, with the scab, and with the itch, from which you cannot be healed.

Ka patu a Ihowa i a koe ki te tuwhenua o Ihipa, ki nga pukupuku, ki te papaka, ki te waihakihaki hoki, e kore nei koe e taea te rongoa.

28 T he Lord will strike you with madness and blindness and confusion of heart.

Ka patu a Ihowa i a koe ki te porangi, ki te matapo, ki te ngakau pohehe:

29 A nd you shall grope at noonday, as a blind man gropes in darkness; you shall not prosper in your ways; you shall be only oppressed and plundered continually, and no one shall save you.

A ka whawha koe i te tino awatea, ka pera me te tangata matapo e whawha nei i roto i te pouri, a e kore e whiwhi i ou huarahi: a ka waiho koe hei tukinotanga kautanga, hei murunga i nga ra katoa, a kahore he kaiwhakaora mou.

30 “ You shall betroth a wife, but another man shall lie with her; you shall build a house, but you shall not dwell in it; you shall plant a vineyard, but shall not gather its grapes.

Ka taumau koe i te wahine, a he tangata ke mana ia e moe: ka mahi koe i te whare, a e kore koe e noho ki roto: ka whakato koe i te mara waina, a e kore koe e kai i ona hua.

31 Y our ox shall be slaughtered before your eyes, but you shall not eat of it; your donkey shall be violently taken away from before you, and shall not be restored to you; your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you shall have no one to rescue them.

Ka patua tau kau i mua i ou kanohi, a e kore koe e kai i tetahi wahi ona: ko tau kaihe ka pahuatia atu i tou aroaro, e kore e whakahokia ki a koe: ko au hipi ka hoatu ma ou hoariri, a kahore ou tangata hei whakaora i a koe.

32 Y our sons and your daughters shall be given to another people, and your eyes shall look and fail with longing for them all day long; and there shall be no strength in your hand.

Ko au tama me au tamahine ka hoatu ki te iwi ke, a ka matawaia ou kanohi i te tirohanga ki a ratou, a pau noa te ra: kahore hoki he kaha i tou ringa.

33 A nation whom you have not known shall eat the fruit of your land and the produce of your labor, and you shall be only oppressed and crushed continually.

Ko nga hua o tou oneone me tou uauatanga katoa, ka kainga e tetahi iwi kihai nei i mohiotia e koe; a hei tukinotanga kautanga koe, hei kurunga i nga ra katoa:

34 S o you shall be driven mad because of the sight which your eyes see.

A ka haurangi koe i te kitenga a ou kanohi e kite ai koe.

35 T he Lord will strike you in the knees and on the legs with severe boils which cannot be healed, and from the sole of your foot to the top of your head.

Ka patu a Ihowa i a koe, i nga turi, i nga waewae, ki te tuwhenua kino e kore e taea te rongoa, i te kapu o tou waewae, a tae noa ki tou tumuaki.

36 “ The Lord will bring you and the king whom you set over you to a nation which neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you shall serve other gods—wood and stone.

Ka whakaheke atu a Ihowa i a koe, i tou kingi hoki e meatia e koe hei kingi mou, ki te iwi kihai nei koe i mohio, koutou ko ou matua; a ka mahi koe i reira ki nga atua ke, ki te rakau, ki te kohatu.

37 A nd you shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword among all nations where the Lord will drive you.

A ka waiho koe hei miharotanga, hei whakatauki, hei taunu i roto i nga iwi katoa e kawea atu ai koe e Ihowa ki reira.

38 “ You shall carry much seed out to the field but gather little in, for the locust shall consume it.

He nui te purapura e kawea atu e koe ki te mara, a he iti tau e kohikohi mai ai; ka pau hoki i te mawhitiwhiti.

39 Y ou shall plant vineyards and tend them, but you shall neither drink of the wine nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.

Ka whakatokia e koe, ka mahia nga mara waina, ko te waina ia e kore e inumia e koe, e kore ano e whakiia nga hua; ka kainga hoki e te huhu.

40 Y ou shall have olive trees throughout all your territory, but you shall not anoint yourself with the oil; for your olives shall drop off.

Ka whai oriwa koe puta noa i ou rohe katoa, ko te hinu ia e kore e whakawahia e koe; no te mea ka horo nga hua o au oriwa.

41 Y ou shall beget sons and daughters, but they shall not be yours; for they shall go into captivity.

Ka whanau he tama mau, he tamahine, otiia e kore e waiho mau; ka riro hoki ratou ki te herehere.

42 L ocusts shall consume all your trees and the produce of your land.

Ko au rakau katoa me nga hua o tou oneone ka pau i te mawhitiwhiti.

43 “ The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower.

Ko te manene i roto i a koe ka kaka ake ki runga i a koe, ki runga noa atu; ko koe ia ka heke iho ki raro, a ki raro noa iho.

44 H e shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.

Ko ia hei homai i te moni tarewa ki a koe, ko koe ia e kore e hoatu i te mea tarewa ki a ia: ko ia hei pane, ko koe hei hiku.

45 “ Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you.

A ka tae enei kanga ki a koe, ka whai i a koe, ka hopu ano i a koe, kia huna ra ano koe; mou kihai i whakarongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, kihai i mau ki ana whakahau, ki ana tikanga i whakahaua e ia ki a koe;

46 A nd they shall be upon you for a sign and a wonder, and on your descendants forever.

A ka piri ena ki a koe hei tohu, hei miharotanga, ki ou uri ano hoki a ake ake:

47 “ Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything,

Mou kihai i mahi ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i runga i te koa, me te ngakau hari mo te huanga o nga mea katoa:

48 t herefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you.

Koia ka mahi koe ki ou hoariri, e tukua mai e Ihowa ki a koe, i runga i te matekai, i te matewai me te kakahukore, me te kore hoki o nga mea katoa: a ka hoatu e ia he ioka rino ki tou kaki a ngaro noa koe i a ia.

49 T he Lord will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you will not understand,

Ka hapainga mai e Ihowa ki a koe he iwi no tawhiti, no te pito o te whenua, ano he ekara e rere ana; he iwi e kore e mohiotia e koe tona reo;

50 a nation of fierce countenance, which does not respect the elderly nor show favor to the young.

He iwi mata hinana, e kore e whakapai ki te kanohi o te koroheke, e kore hoki e tohu i te taitamariki:

51 A nd they shall eat the increase of your livestock and the produce of your land, until you are destroyed; they shall not leave you grain or new wine or oil, or the increase of your cattle or the offspring of your flocks, until they have destroyed you.

A ka kainga e ia nga hua o au kararehe, te hua hoki o tou oneone, a huna noatia koe: a e kore e toe i a ia he witi mau, he waina, he hinu ranei, nga uri ranei o au kau, me nga kuao o au hipi, a meinga ra ano koe e ia kia ngaro.

52 “ They shall besiege you at all your gates until your high and fortified walls, in which you trust, come down throughout all your land; and they shall besiege you at all your gates throughout all your land which the Lord your God has given you.

A ka whakapaea koe e ia i roto i ou kuwaha katoa, e whenuku noa ou taiepa teitei, kaha hoki, i whakamanamana ai koe, a puta noa i tou whenua: a ka whakapae ia i a koe i roto i ou kuwaha katoa, puta noa i tou whenua, i homai nei e Ihowa, e tou At ua, ki a koe.

53 Y ou shall eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and your daughters whom the Lord your God has given you, in the siege and desperate straits in which your enemy shall distress you.

A ka kai koe i te hua o tou kopu, i te kikokiko o au tama, o au tamahine, e homai e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe; i te whakapaenga, i te kopaninga hoki, e kopania ai koe e ou hoariri:

54 T he sensitive and very refined man among you will be hostile toward his brother, toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the rest of his children whom he leaves behind,

Ko te tangata whakatarapi i roto i a koutou, whakaahu noa iho, ka he tona kanohi ki tona teina, ki te wahine hoki o tona uma, a ki te morehu o ana tamariki e toe ana ki a ia:

55 s o that he will not give any of them the flesh of his children whom he will eat, because he has nothing left in the siege and desperate straits in which your enemy shall distress you at all your gates.

E kore ai e hoatu e ia ki tetahi o ratou tetahi wahi o te kikokiko o ana tamariki, e kainga e ia, no te mea kahore he mea e toe ana ki a ia; i te whakapaenga, i te kopaninga, e kopania ai koe e ou hoariri i roto i ou kuwaha katoa.

56 T he tender and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground because of her delicateness and sensitivity, will refuse to the husband of her bosom, and to her son and her daughter,

Ko te wahine whakatarapi i roto i a koutou, whakaahu noa iho, e kore nei e whakamatau atu ki te whakatu i te kapu o tona waewae ki te whenua, i te whakatarapi hoki, i te whakaahu, ka kino tona kanohi ki te tane o tona uma, ki tana tama, ki tana tamahine hoki;

57 h er placenta which comes out from between her feet and her children whom she bears; for she will eat them secretly for lack of everything in the siege and desperate straits in which your enemy shall distress you at all your gates.

Ki tana potiki hoki e puta mai i waenganui o ona waewae, ki ana tamariki hoki e whanau i roto i a ia; ka kainga pukutia hoki e ia i te kore o nga mea katoa: i te whakapaenga, i te kopaninga, e kopania ai koe e ou hoariri i roto i ou kuwaha.

58 “ If you do not carefully observe all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name, THE LORD YOUR GOD,

Ki te kahore koe e mahara kia mahia nga kupu katoa o tenei ture e tuhituhia nei ki tenei pukapuka, kia wehi koe i tenei ingoa whai kororia, ingoa whakamataku, i a IHOWA, I TOU ATUA;

59 t hen the Lord will bring upon you and your descendants extraordinary plagues—great and prolonged plagues—and serious and prolonged sicknesses.

Na ka meinga e Ihowa ou whiunga kia miharotia, me nga whiunga o ou uri, he whiunga nunui, kawenga roa hoki, me nga mate ngau kino, kawenga roa hoki.

60 M oreover He will bring back on you all the diseases of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cling to you.

A ka whakapangia ano e ia ki a koe nga mate katoa o Ihipa, i wehi ra koe; a ka piri ki a koe.

61 A lso every sickness and every plague, which is not written in this Book of the Law, will the Lord bring upon you until you are destroyed.

Me nga mate katoa me nga whiu katoa, kahore nei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o tenei ture, ka whakapangia e Ihowa ki a koe, a huna noatia koe.

62 Y ou shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars of heaven in multitude, because you would not obey the voice of the Lord your God.

A ka mahue iho koutou he hunga torutoru, koutou i rite nei ki nga whetu o te rangi te tini; no te mea kihai koe i whakarongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua.

63 A nd it shall be, that just as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good and multiply you, so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you and bring you to nothing; and you shall be plucked from off the land which you go to possess.

Na ka rite ki te koa o Ihowa i tana whakawhiwhinga i a koutou ki te pai, i tana whakanuinga hoki i a koutou; ka pena ano hoki te koa o Ihowa ki te mea i a koutou kia ngaro, ki te huna rawa atu i a koutou; a ka hutia atu koutou i te whenua e haer e atu nei koutou ki reira ki te tango.

64 “ Then the Lord will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other, and there you shall serve other gods, which neither you nor your fathers have known—wood and stone.

A ka whakamararatia koe e Ihowa ki waenga i nga iwi katoa, i tetahi pito o te whenua tae noa atu ki tetahi pito o te whenua; a ka mahi koe i reira ki nga atua ke, kahore nei koe i mohio, koutou tahi ko ou matua, ki te rakau, ki te kohatu.

65 A nd among those nations you shall find no rest, nor shall the sole of your foot have a resting place; but there the Lord will give you a trembling heart, failing eyes, and anguish of soul.

A e kore e ta tou manawa i roto i ena iwi, kahore hoki he okiokinga mo te kapu o tou waewae; engari ka homai e Ihowa ki a koe i reira he manawa hehe, he kanohi haumaruru, me te ngakau tuatea:

66 Y our life shall hang in doubt before you; you shall fear day and night, and have no assurance of life.

A ka tarewa noa tou ora i tou aroaro; ka wehi koe i te po, i te ao, a kahore he tuturutanga mo tou ora;

67 I n the morning you shall say, ‘Oh, that it were evening!’ And at evening you shall say, ‘Oh, that it were morning!’ because of the fear which terrifies your heart, and because of the sight which your eyes see.

I te ata ka mea koe, Aue, te ahiahi noa! a i te ahiahi ka mea koe, Aue, te awatea noa! i te pawera hoki o tou ngakau e pawera ai koe, i te kitenga hoki a ou kanohi e kite ai koe.

68 “ And the Lord will take you back to Egypt in ships, by the way of which I said to you, ‘You shall never see it again.’ And there you shall be offered for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you. ”

A ka whakahoki a Ihowa i a koe ki Ihipa i runga kaipuke, na te huarahi i korero ra ahau ki a koe, E kore koe e kite i reira a muri ake nei: a ka hoko koutou i a koutou i reira ki o koutou hoariri hei pononga tane, hei pononga wahine, a kahore he tangata hei hoko.
