1 “ At that time the Lord said to me, ‘Cut out for yourself two pieces of stone like the other ones. Then come up to Me on the mountain, and make a box 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 I will write on the pieces of stone the words that were on the other pieces of stone which you broke. And you will put them in the box.’

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 S o I made a box of acacia wood and cut out two pieces of stone like the other ones. Then I went up the mountain with the two stone pieces 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 T he Lord wrote the Ten Laws the same as before on the pieces of stone which He had spoken to you on the mountain from the fire on the day of the meeting. 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 stone pieces in the box I had made. There they are, as the Lord told 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 ( The people of Israel traveled from the wells of the sons of Jaakan to Moserah. Aaron died there and was buried and his son Eleazar took his place as religious leader.

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 traveled to Gudgodah. And from Gudgodah they went 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 set apart the family of Levi to carry the special box of the Law of the Lord, and to stand before the Lord to work for Him and honor 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 S o Levi does not have a share of what is given to his brothers. The Lord is his share, 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 “ Once more I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights, like the first time. And the Lord listened to me that time also. The Lord did not 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, ‘Get up. Travel in front of the people, so they may go in and take the land which I promised to give their fathers.’ What God Wants

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 ask of you? He wants you to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and love Him. He wants you to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and 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 H e wants you to keep all the Laws of the Lord which I am telling 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 S ee, heaven and the highest heavens, the earth and all that is in it belong to the Lord your God.

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

15 T he Lord had joy in loving your fathers more than other nations, and you are still His chosen people to 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 S o then, from now on, obey the Lord. Do not be strong-willed any more.

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 the God of gods and the Lord of lords. He is the great and powerful God and is to be honored with fear. He does not show favor, and cannot be bought with money.

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 does what is right and fair for the child without parents and the woman whose husband has died. He shows His love for the stranger by 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 S o show your love for 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 F ear the Lord your God. Work for Him, hold on to Him, and swear by 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. You have seen the great and powerful things He has done for you.

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 to Egypt, seventy people in all. And now the Lord your God has made you as many as the stars of heaven.

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.
