1 “ When all these things have come upon you, the good things and the curses which I have told you about, you will remember them in all the nations where the Lord your God has sent you.

A tenei ake, a te wa e tae mai ai enei mea katoa ki a koe, te manaaki me te kanga, i hoatu nei e ahau ki tou aroaro, a ka mahara tou hinengaro ki aua mea i roto i nga iwi katoa e peia ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua ki reira,

2 W hen you and your children return to the Lord your God and obey Him with all your heart and soul by all I have told you today,

A ka tahuri koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, ka whakarongo ki tona reo, ki nga mea katoa e whakahau nei ahau i tenei ra ki a koe, koutou ko au tamariki, i tou ngakau katoa, i tou wairua katoa;

3 t hen the Lord your God will have you return from where you were held. He will have loving-pity for you. He will gather you again from all the nations where the Lord your God has sent you.

Katahi a Ihowa, tou Atua, ka whakaputa ke i tou parautanga, ka aroha ano ki a koe, ka tahuri hoki, ka kohikohi i a koe i roto i nga iwi katoa i whakamararatia atu ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua ki reira.

4 E ven if you are driven to the ends of the earth, the Lord your God will gather you and bring you back.

Mehemea tera etahi o koutou i peia kei nga topito ra ano o te rangi, ka kohikohia mai ano koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, i reira, ka tikina ano koe e ia i reira:

5 T he Lord your God will bring you into the land your fathers lived in and it will be yours. He will bring good to you and make you more in number than your fathers.

A ka kawea mai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki te whenua i nohoia e ou matua, ka nohoia hoki a reira e koe; a ka mahi ia i te pai ki a koe, ka mea hoki i a koe kia maha atu i ou matua.

6 T he Lord your God will take away the sin from your heart and from the heart of your children. You will love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, so you may live.

A ka kokoti a Ihowa, tou Atua, i tou ngakau, i te ngakau ano hoki o ou uri, e aroha ai koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i tou ngakau katoa, i tou wairua katoa, kia ora ai koe.

7 T hen the Lord your God will send all these curses upon those who hate you and upon those who made it hard for you.

A ka tukua iho e Ihowa, e tou Atua, enei kanga katoa ki ou hoariri, ki te hunga hoki e kino ana ki a koe, i whakatupu kino nei i a koe.

8 Y ou will obey the Lord again, and keep all His Laws which I tell you today.

Ko koe ia ka tahuri, ka whakarongo ki te reo o Ihowa, ka mahi i ana whakahau katoa, e whakahau nei ahau ki a koe i tenei ra.

9 A nd the Lord your God will bring much good upon all the work you do, and upon your children, and the young of your cattle, and the food of your field. For the Lord will again be happy to bring good to you, just as He was happy with your fathers.

A ka mea a Ihowa, tou Atua, kia nui nga mea mau i te mahi katoa a tou ringa, i te hua o tou kopu, i te hua hoki o au kararehe, i te hua hoki o tou oneone, mo te pai: no te mea ka tahuri mai ano a Ihowa, ka hari ki a koe mo te pai, ka pera me ia i hari ki ou matua:

10 B ut you must obey the Lord your God to keep His Laws which are written in this book of the Law. You must turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and soul. Life or Death

Ki te whakarongo koe ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ki te pupuri i ana whakahau, i ana tikanga, ka tuhituhia nei ki tenei pukapuka o te ture; ki te tahuri koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i tou ngakau katoa, i tou wairua katoa.

11 “ For this Law I give you today is not too hard for you, or too far from you.

Ko tenei ture hoki, e whakahau nei ahau i tenei ra ki a koe, ehara i te mea pakeke rawa ki a koe, i te mea tawhiti ranei.

12 I t is not in heaven. You do not need to say, ‘Who will go up to heaven for us and bring it down to make us hear it, so we may obey it?’

Kahore i te rangi, e mea ai koe, Ko wai o tatou hei piki ki te rangi ki te tiki atu i tena mea ma tatou, hei mea kia rongo atu tatou, kia mahi ai tatou?

13 I t is not farther than the sea. You do not need to say, ‘Who will cross the sea for us and bring it to us to make us hear it, so we may obey it?’

Kahore i tawahi o te moana, hei meatanga mau, Ko wai o tatou hei whakawhiti ki tawahi o te moana, ki te tiki i tena mea ki a tatou, hei mea kia rongo atu tatou, kia mahi ai tatou?

14 B ut the Word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may obey it.

Kei te tata tonu ra te kupu ki a koe, kei roto i tou waha, kei roto hoki i tou ngakau, mo tau mahi atu.

15 “ See, I have put in front of you today life and what is good, and death and what is bad.

Titiro, kua hoatu e ahau ki tou aroaro i tenei ra te ora me te pai, te mate me te kino;

16 I tell you today to love the Lord your God. Walk in His ways. Keep all His Laws and all that He has decided. Then you will live and become many. And the Lord your God will bring good to you in the land you are going in to take.

I ahau e whakahau nei i a koe i tenei ra kia aroha ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kia haere i ana huarahi, kia pupuri i ana whakahau, i ana tikanga, i ana whakaritenga, kia ora ai koe, kia nui ai hoki, kia manaaki ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe ki te w henua e haere nei koe ki reira ki te tango.

17 B ut if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but leave to worship other gods and serve them,

Otiia ki te tahuri ke tou ngakau, ki te kore koe e rongo, a ka takina atu koe ki te koropiko ki nga atua ke, kia mahi hoki ki a ratou;

18 I tell you today that you will die for sure. You will not live long in that land across the Jordan which you are about to take for your own.

Maku e whakaatu ki a koutou i tenei ra, ka ngaro rawa atu koutou; e kore e roa o koutou ra ki te whenua e whiti atu nei koe i Horano, e haere atu nei koe ki reira ki te tango.

19 I call heaven and earth to speak against you today. I have put in front of you life and death, the good and the curse. So choose life so you and your children after you may live.

Ka waiho e ahau i tenei ra te rangi me te whenua hei kaititiro i a koutou, kua hoatu e ahau ki tou aroaro te ora me te mate, te manaaki me te kanga: na reira manakohia te ora, kia ora ai koutou ko ou uri:

20 L ove the Lord your God and obey His voice. Hold on to Him. For He is your life, and by Him your days will be long. You will be allowed to live in the land the Lord promised to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”

Aroha ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, whakarongo ki tona reo, piri atu hoki ki a ia: ko ia hoki tou ora, te whakaroanga atu mo ou ra: kia noho ai koe ki te whenua i oati ai a Ihowa ki ou matua kia hoatu ki a ratou, ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hako pa.
