Deuteronômio 11

Ngā Mea nui i Mahia e Ihowā

1 Nā reira, me aroha koe ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua, kia mau ki tāna ako, ki āna tikanga, ki tāna i whakarite ai, me āna whakahau, i ngā rā katoa. 2 Kia mōhio hoki koutou i tēnei rā kāhore anō ia ahau e kōrero ana ki ā koutou tamariki, (kāhore hoki rātou i mōhio, kāhore anō hoki i kite i te whakawhiu a Ihowā), a tō koutou Atua, i tōna nui, i tōna ringa kaha, i tōna tākakau i mārō rā, 3 i āna merekara hoki, i āna mahi i meatia e ia i waenganui o Īhipa ki a Parao kīngi o Īhipa, ki tōna whenua katoa hoki. 4 I tāna hoki i mea ai ki te ope o Īhipa, ki ō rātou hōiho, ki ō rātou hāriata; i a ia i mea rā i ngā wai o te Moana Whero kia huri ki runga ki a rātou i tō rātou whāinga mai i a koutou, ā, hunā iho rātou e Ihowā ā mohoa noa nei. 5 I ngā mea hoki i mea ai ia ki a koutou i te koraha, ā tae noa mai koutou ki tēnei wāhi. 6 I tāna hoki i mea ai ki a Ratana rāua ko Āpirama, ki ngā tama a Eriapa tama a Reupena; i te kowheratanga ake o te māngai o te whenua, ā, horomia ana rātou, me ngā tāngata o ō rātou whare, me ō rātou tēneti hoki, me ā rātou mea ora katoa, i waenganui i a Īharaira katoa. 7 Ko ō koutou kanohi ia kua kite i ngā mahi nunui katoa a Ihowā i mahi ai ia.

Ngā Manaakitanga o te Whenua i Kōrerotia rā

8 Āe rā, kia mau ki ngā whakahau katoa e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koe i tēnei rā, kia kaha ai koe, kia tae atu ai hoki, kia whiwhi ai ki te whenua e haere atu nei koutou ki reira ki te tango; 9 kia roa ai hoki ō koutou rā ki te whenua i oati ai a Ihowā ki ōu mātua kia hoatu ki a rātou, ki ō rātou uri, he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiū, e te honi. 10 Ko te whenua hoki e haere atu nei koe ki reira ki te tango, ehara i te pērā me te whenua o Īhipa, i mahue atu rā i a koe, e whakatō ai koe i tāu purapura, e whakamākūkū ai hoki ki tōu waewae, ānō he kāri otaota. 11 Engari, he whenua pukepuke, he whenua raorao te whenua e haere atu nei koutou ki reira ki te tango, e inu ana hoki i te ua o te rangi hei wai; 12 he whenua e matapoporetia ana e Ihowā, e tōu Atua; kei reira tonu ngā kanohi o Ihowā, o tōu Atua, nō te tīmatanga o te tau taea noatia te mutunga o te tau.

13 Ā, ki te whakarongo mārie koutou ki āku whakahau e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koutou i tēnei rā – kia aroha ki a Ihowā, ki tō koutou Atua, kia whakapaua ō koutou ngākau, ō koutou wairua ki te mahi ki a ia – 14 nā, ka hoatu e ahau te ua mō tō koutou whenua i tōna pō anō, te ua mataati me te ua ō muri, ā, ka kohikohi koe i tāu wīti, i tāu wāina, i tāu hinu. 15 Ā, ka hoatu e ahau te tarutaru ki ōu pārae, mā āu kararehe, ā, ka kai koe, ka mākona.

16 Kia mahara ki a koutou, kei māmingatia ō koutou ngākau, kei peka kē koutou, kei mahi ki ngā atua kē, kei koropiko ki a rātou; 17 ā, ka mura te riri o Ihowā ki a koutou, ā, ka tūtakina e ia te rangi, e kore ake ai te ua, e kore ai hoki e tukua mai e te whenua ōna hua. Nā, ka hohoro koutou te mate atu i te whenua pai ka hōmai nei e Ihowā ki a koutou.

18 Engari, rongoātia ēnei kupu āku ki roto ki ō koutou ngākau, ki ō koutou wairua; herea hoki hei tohu ki ō koutou ringa, hei pare anō ki waenganui i ō koutou kanohi. 19 Whakaakona atu hoki ki ā koutou tamariki, kōrerotia ina noho i tōu whare, ina haere koe i te huarahi, ina takoto, ina whakatika rānei. 20 Tuhituhia anō hoki ki ngā pou tatau o tōu whare, ki ōu tatau hoki; 21 kia tini ai ōu rā, me ngā rā o ā koutou tamariki ki te whenua i oati ai a Ihowā ki ōu mātua kia hoatu ki a rātou, kia rite ai ki ngā rā o te rangi i runga i te whenua.

22 Ki te āta pupuri hoki koutou i ēnei whakahau katoa e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koutou kia mahia; ki te aroha ki a Ihowā, ki tō koutou Atua, ki te haere hoki i āna huarahi, ki te awhi ki a ia; 23 nā, ka peia atu e Ihowā ēnei iwi katoa i tō koutou aroaro, ā, ka riro i a koutou ngā iwi he nui ake, he kaha ake i a koutou. 24 Mō koutou ngā wāhi katoa e takahia e te kapu o ō koutou waewae; kei te koraha, kei Repanōna hoki, kei te awa, kei Uparati, ā tae noa ki te moana ki te hauāuru, ngā rohe ki a koutou. 25 E kore e tū te tangata ki tō koutou aroaro; ka whakapāngia hoki e Ihowā, e tō koutou Atua, tō koutou wehi, me tō koutou tūiri ki te mata katoa o te whenua e takahia e koutou, ka rite ki tāna i kōrero ai ki a koutou.

26 Nanā, ka hoatu e ahau ki tō koutou aroaro i tēnei rā te manaaki me te kanga: 27 te manaaki, ki te rongo koutou ki ngā whakahau a Ihowā, a tō koutou Atua, e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koutou i tēnei rā; 28 te kanga hoki, ki te kāhore koutou e rongo ki ngā whakahau a Ihowā, a tō koutou Atua, ā, ka peka kē i te huarahi e kīia atu nei e ahau ki a koutou i tēnei rā, ki te whai ki ngā atua kē, kīhai nei i mōhiotia e koutou. 29 Ā tēnei ake, ā te wā e kawea ai koe e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki te whenua, ka haere atu nei koe ki reira ki te tango, nā, me hoatu e koe te manaaki ki runga ki Maunga Keritimi me te kanga ki runga ki Maunga Ēpara. 30 Kāhore ianei ēnā i tāwāhi o Horano, i te taha o te huarahi e tō ai te rā, i te whenua o ngā Kanaani e noho ana i te Arapaha i te ritenga atu o Kirikara, i te taha o ngā oki i More? 31 Ka whiti atu hoki koutou i Horano, ka haere ki te tango i te whenua e hōmai ana e Ihowā, e tō koutou Atua, ki a koutou, ā, ka riro a reira i a koutou, ā, ka noho koutou ki reira. 32 Nā, kia mahara ki te mahi i ngā tikanga katoa, i ngā whakaritenga e hoatu nei e ahau ki tō koutou aroaro i tēnei rā.

1 Therefore thou shalt love Jehovah thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments, alway. 2 And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children that have not known, and that have not seen the chastisement of Jehovah your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his outstretched arm, 3 and his signs, and his works, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land; 4 and what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how Jehovah hath destroyed them unto this day; 5 and what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came unto this place; 6 and what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel: 7 but your eyes have seen all the great work of Jehovah which he did.

8 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandment which I command thee this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go over to possess it; 9 and that ye may prolong your days in the land, which Jehovah sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey. 10 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs; 11 but the land, whither ye go over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven, 12 a land which Jehovah thy God careth for: the eyes of Jehovah thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.

13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love Jehovah your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, 14 that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy grain, and thy new wine, and thine oil. 15 And I will give grass in thy fields for thy cattle, and thou shalt eat and be full. 16 Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; 17 and the anger of Jehovah be kindled against you, and he shut up the heavens, so that there shall be no rain, and the land shall not yield its fruit; and ye perish quickly from off the good land which Jehovah giveth you.

18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul; and ye shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes. 19 And ye shall teach them your children, talking of them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 20 And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates; 21 that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which Jehovah sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth. 22 For if ye shall diligently keep all this commandment which I command you, to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him; 23 then will Jehovah drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves. 24 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea shall be your border. 25 There shall no man be able to stand before you: Jehovah your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath spoken unto you.

26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse: 27 the blessing, if ye shall hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I command you this day; 28 and the curse, if ye shall not hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known. 29 And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt set the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal. 30 Are they not beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites that dwell in the Arabah, over against Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh? 31 For ye are to pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein. 32 And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and the ordinances which I set before you this day.
