Deuteronômio 30

Te Pono Tūturu o te Atua

1 Ā tēnei ake, ā te wā e tae mai ai ēnei mea katoa ki a koe, te manaaki me te kanga, i hoatu nei e ahau ki tōu aroaro, ā, ka mahara tōu hinengaro ki aua mea i roto i ngā iwi katoa e peia ai koe e Ihowā, e tōu Atua ki reira, 2 ā, ka tahuri koe ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua, ka whakarongo ki tōna reo, ki ngā mea katoa e whakahau nei ahau i tēnei rā ki a koe, koutou ko āu tamariki, i tōu ngākau katoa, i tōu wairua katoa, 3 kātahi a Ihowā, tōu Atua, ka whakaputa kē i tōu pārautanga, ka aroha anō ki a koe, ka tahuri hoki, ka kohikohi i a koe i roto i ngā iwi katoa i whakamararatia atu ai koe e Ihowā, e tōu Atua ki reira. 4 Mehemea tērā ētahi o koutou i peia kei ngā tōpito rā anō o te rangi, ka kohikohia mai anō koe e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, i reira, ka tīkina anō koe e ia i reira. 5 Ā, ka kawea mai koe e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki te whenua i nohoia e ōu mātua, ka nohoia hoki a reira e koe; ā, ka mahi ia i te pai ki a koe, ka mea hoki i a koe kia maha atu i ōu mātua. 6 Ā, ka kokoti a Ihowā, tōu Atua, i tōu ngākau, i te ngākau anō hoki o ōu uri, e aroha ai koe ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua, i tōu ngākau katoa, i tōu wairua katoa, kia ora ai koe. 7 Ā, ka tukua iho e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ēnei kanga katoa ki ōu hoariri, ki te hunga hoki e kino ana ki a koe, i whakatupu kino nei i a koe. 8 Ko koe ia ka tahuri, ka whakarongo ki te reo o Ihowā, ka mahi i āna whakahau katoa, e whakahau nei ahau ki a koe i tēnei rā. 9 Ā, ka mea a Ihowā, tōu Atua, kia nui ngā mea māu i te mahi katoa a tōu ringa, i te hua o tōu kōpū, i te hua hoki o āu kararehe, i te hua hoki o tōu oneone, mō te pai: nō te mea ka tahuri mai anō a Ihowā, ka hari ki a koe mō te pai, ka pērā me ia i hari ki ōu mātua. 10 Ki te whakarongo koe ki te reo o Ihowā, o tōu Atua, ki te pupuri i āna whakahau, i āna tikanga, ka tuhituhia nei ki tēnei Pukapuka o te Ture; ki te tahuri koe ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua, i tōu ngākau katoa, i tōu wairua katoa.

Manakohia te Ora

11 Ko tēnei ture hoki, e whakahau nei ahau i tēnei rā ki a koe, ehara i te mea pakeke rawa ki a koe, i te mea tawhiti rānei. 12 Kāhore i te rangi, e mea ai koe, "Ko wai o tātou hei piki ki te rangi ki te tiki atu i tēnā mea mā tātou, hei mea kia rongo atu tātou, kia mahi ai tātou?" 13 Kāhore i tāwāhi o te moana, hei meatanga māu, "Ko wai o tātou hei whakawhiti ki tāwāhi o te moana, ki te tiki i tēnā mea ki a tātou, hei mea kia rongo atu tātou, kia mahi ai tātou?" 14 Kei te tata tonu rā te kupu ki a koe, kei roto i tōu waha, kei roto hoki i tōu ngākau, mō tāu mahi atu.

15 Titiro, kua hoatu e ahau ki tōu aroaro i tēnei rā te ora me te pai, te mate me te kino; 16 i ahau e whakahau nei i a koe i tēnei rā kia aroha ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua, kia haere i āna huarahi, kia pupuri i āna whakahau, i āna tikanga, i āna whakaritenga, kia ora ai koe, kia nui ai hoki, kia manaaki ai a Ihowā, tōu Atua, i a koe ki te whenua e haere nei koe ki reira ki te tango.

17 Otiia, ki te tahuri kē tōu ngākau, ki te kore koe e rongo, ā, ka tākina atu koe ki te koropiko ki ngā atua kē, kia mahi hoki ki a rātou; 18 māku e whakaatu ki a koutou i tēnei rā, ka ngaro rawa atu koutou; e kore e roa ō koutou rā ki te whenua e whiti atu nei koe i Horano, e haere atu nei koe ki reira ki te tango.

19 Ka waiho e ahau i tēnei rā te rangi me te whenua hei kaititiro i a koutou, kua hoatu e ahau ki tōu aroaro te ora me te mate, te manaaki me te kanga; nā reira manakohia te ora, kia ora ai koutou ko ōu uri; 20 aroha ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua, whakarongo ki tōna reo, piri atu hoki ki a ia. Ko ia hoki tōu ora, te whakaroanga atu mō ōu rā; kia noho ai koe ki te whenua i oati ai a Ihowā ki ōu mātua kia hoatu ki a rātou, ki a Āperahama, ki a Īhaka, ki a Hākopa.

1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither Jehovah thy God hath driven thee, 2 and shalt return unto Jehovah thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul; 3 that then Jehovah thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the peoples, whither Jehovah thy God hath scattered thee. 4 If any of thine outcasts be in the uttermost parts of heaven, from thence will Jehovah thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: 5 and Jehovah thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. 6 And Jehovah thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. 7 And Jehovah thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, that persecuted thee. 8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of Jehovah, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. 9 And Jehovah thy God will make thee plenteous in all the work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, for good: for Jehovah will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers; 10 if thou shalt obey the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law; if thou turn unto Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.

11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not too hard for thee, neither is it far off. 12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it? 13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it? 14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; 16 in that I command thee this day to love Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, that thou mayest live and multiply, and that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in the land whither thou goest in to possess it. 17 But if thy heart turn away, and thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; 18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish; ye shall not prolong your days in the land, whither thou passest over the Jordan to go in to possess it. 19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed; 20 to love Jehovah thy God, to obey his voice, and to cleave unto him; for he is thy life, and the length of thy days; that thou mayest dwell in the land which Jehovah sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
