Deuteronômio 1

1 These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah opposite Suf, between Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab. 2 It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea. 3 In the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, Moses spoke to the children of Israel according to all that Yahweh*1:3 "Yahweh" is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered "LORD" (all caps) in other translations. had given him in commandment to them, 4 after he had struck Sihon the king of the Amorites who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan who lived in Ashtaroth, at Edrei. 5 Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying, 6 "Yahweh our God*1:6 The Hebrew word rendered "God" is "אֱלֹהִ֑ים" (Elohim). spoke to us in Horeb, saying, ‘You have lived long enough at this mountain. 7 Turn, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites and to all the places near there: in the Arabah, in the hill country, in the lowland, in the South, by the seashore, in the land of the Canaanites, and in Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates. 8 Behold,*1:8 "Behold", from "הִנֵּה", means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection. I have set the land before you. Go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers—to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob—to give to them and to their offspring*1:8 or, seed after them.’"

9 I spoke to you at that time, saying, "I am not able to bear you myself alone. 10 Yahweh your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are today as the stars of the sky for multitude. 11 May Yahweh, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are and bless you, as he has promised you! 12 How can I myself alone bear your problems, your burdens, and your strife? 13 Take wise men of understanding who are respected among your tribes, and I will make them heads over you."

14 You answered me, and said, "The thing which you have spoken is good to do." 15 So I took the heads of your tribes, wise and respected men, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, captains of hundreds, captains of fifties, captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes. 16 I commanded your judges at that time, saying, "Hear cases between your brothers and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is living with him. 17 You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God’s. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it." 18 I commanded you at that time all the things which you should do. 19 We traveled from Horeb and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as Yahweh our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh Barnea. 20 I said to you, "You have come to the hill country of the Amorites, which Yahweh our God gives to us. 21 Behold, Yahweh your God has set the land before you. Go up, take possession, as Yahweh the God of your fathers has spoken to you. Don’t be afraid, neither be dismayed."

22 You came near to me, everyone of you, and said, "Let’s send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring back to us word of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come."

23 The thing pleased me well. I took twelve of your men, one man for every tribe. 24 They turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out. 25 They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, "It is a good land which Yahweh our God gives to us."

26 Yet you wouldn’t go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God. 27 You murmured in your tents, and said, "Because Yahweh hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to destroy us. 28 Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our heart melt, saying, ‘The people are greater and taller than we. The cities are great and fortified up to the sky. Moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there!’"

29 Then I said to you, "Don’t be terrified. Don’t be afraid of them. 30 Yahweh your God, who goes before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes, 31 and in the wilderness where you have seen how that Yahweh your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place."

32 Yet in this thing you didn’t believe Yahweh your God, 33 who went before you on the way, to seek out a place for you to pitch your tents in: in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day. 34 Yahweh heard the voice of your words and was angry, and swore, saying, 35 "Surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land which I swore to give to your fathers, 36 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it. I will give the land that he has trodden on to him and to his children, because he has wholly followed Yahweh."

37 Also Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, saying, "You also shall not go in there. 38 Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, shall go in there. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. 39 Moreover your little ones, whom you said would be captured or killed, your children, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, shall go in there. I will give it to them, and they shall possess it. 40 But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea."

41 Then you answered and said to me, "We have sinned against Yahweh. We will go up and fight, according to all that Yahweh our God commanded us." Every man of you put on his weapons of war, and presumed to go up into the hill country.

42 Yahweh said to me, "Tell them, ‘Don’t go up and don’t fight; for I am not among you, lest you be struck before your enemies.’"

43 So I spoke to you, and you didn’t listen; but you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill country. 44 The Amorites, who lived in that hill country, came out against you and chased you as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah. 45 You returned and wept before Yahweh, but Yahweh didn’t listen to your voice, nor turn his ear to you. 46 So you stayed in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you remained.

Te Whaikōrero Tuatahi a Mohi

1 Ko ngā kupu ēnei i kōrero ai a Mohi ki a Īharaira katoa i tēnei taha o Horano – i te koraha, i te mānia, i te ritenga atu o Tupu, i waenganui o Parana, o Topera, o Rāpana, o Hateroto, o Rihahapa. 2 (Kia kotahi tekau mā tahi ngā rā e haere atu ana i Horepa, ki te tika nā Maunga Heira, ka tae ai ki Karehepārenea.)

3 Nō te whā tekau o ngā tau, nō te tekau mā tahi o ngā marama, nō te rā tuatahi o te marama, ka kōrerotia e Mohi ki ngā tama a Īharaira ngā mea katoa i ako ai a Ihowā ki a ia mō rātou. 4 I muri i tāna patunga i a Hihona kīngi o ngā Amori, i noho rā i Hehepona, i a Oka hoki kīngi o Pahana, i noho rā i Ahataroto, i Eterei.

5 I tīmata a Mohi i tēnei taha o Horano, i te whenua o Moapa, te kauwhau i tēnei ture, i mea ia: 6 I kōrero mai a Ihowā, tō tātou Atua, ki a tātou i Horepa, i mea, "Ka roa tō koutou noho ki tēnei maunga. 7 Anga atu, hāpainga atu, haere ki te maunga o ngā Amori, ki ngā wāhi katoa hoki e tata ana ki reira – o te mānia, o ngā pukepuke, o te raorao, o te tonga, o te tahatika anō o te moana – ki te whenua o ngā Kanaani, ki Repanōna, ki te awa nui anō, ki te awa, ki Uparati. 8 Nanā, kua tukua atu nei e ahau te whenua ki tō koutou aroaro. Haere ki roto, tangohia te whenua i oati ai a Ihowā ki ō koutou mātua, ki a Āperahama, ki a Īhaka, ki a Hākopa kia hoatu mō rātou, mō tō rātou uri hoki i muri i a rātou."

Ka Whakatūria e Mohi ngā Kaiwhakawā

9 I kōrero anō ahau ki a koutou i taua wā, i mea, "E kore e āhei ko ahau anake hei pīkau i a koutou. 10 Kua whakanui a Ihowā, tō koutou Atua, i a koutou, ā, tēnei koutou te rite nei ināianei ki ngā whetū o te rangi te tini. 11 Mā Ihowā, mā te Atua o ō koutou mātua, e tāpiri anō ā muri i a koutou ki ngā mano tini atu i a koutou e noho nei, māna koutou e manaaki, e pērā anō me tāna i kōrero ai ki a koutou! 12 Me pēhea e taea ai e ahau anake tā koutou whakararu, tō koutou whakataimaha, me tā koutou ngangau? 13 Whakaritea mai e koutou ētahi tāngata tūpato, whai whakaaro, e mōhiotia ana e ō koutou iwi, ā, māku rātou e mea hei upoko mō koutou."

14 Nā, ka utu koutou ki ahau, ka mea, "He mea pai tāu e kī mai nā kia meatia."

15 Nā, ka tango ahau i ngā upoko o ō koutou iwi, i ngā mea whakaaro, e mōhiotia ana, ā, meatia iho rātou e ahau hei upoko mō koutou, hei rangatira mō ngā mano, hei rangatira mō ngā rau, hei rangatira mō ngā rima tekau hei rangatira mō ngā tekau, hei kaiwhakahauhau hoki mō ō koutou iwi. 16 I kī anō ahau i taua wā ki ō koutou kaiwhakawā, i mea: "Whakarangona ngā kupu a ō koutou tēina, a tētahi, a tētahi, kia tika te whakawā mō te tangata, mō tōna teina, mō te tangata kē hoki e noho ana i a ia. 17 Kei whakaaro ki te kanohi ina whakawā, kia rite tā koutou whakarongo ki te iti, ki te rahi; kei wehi koutou i te kanohi tangata; nō te mea nā te Atua te whakawā; ā, ko te mea e ngaro ana i a koutou, ka kawe mai ki ahau, ā, māku e whakarongo."

18 Ā, whakahaua ana e ahau i reira ngā mea katoa e mahi ai koutou.

Ka Tonoa he Kaitūtei mai i a Karehepārenea

19 Ā, ka tūria mai e tātou i Horepa, nā, haerea katoatia ana e tātou taua koraha nui, e wehingia ana, i kite rā koutou i te ara o te whenua maunga o ngā Amori; i pērā me tā Ihowā, me tā tō tātou Atua, i ako mai ai ki a tātou; nā, ka tae atu ki Karehepārenea. 20 Nā, ka mea ahau ki a koutou, "Kua tae mai nei koutou ki te whenua maunga o ngā Amori, ka hōmai nei e Ihowā, e tō tātou Atua, ki a tātou. 21 Nanā, ka tukua nei te whenua e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki tōu aroaro; haere ki runga, tangohia, kia rite ai ki tā Ihowā, ki tā te Atua o ōu mātua, i kī ai ki a koe; kaua e wehi, kaua hoki e pāwera."

22 Nā, ka whakatata mai koutou katoa ki ahau, ka mea, "Kia tono tātou i ētahi ki mua i a tātou, ā, ko rātou hei titiro i tō tātou whenua, hei whakahoki mai i te kōrero ki a tātou, mō te huarahi e haere ai tātou ki runga, mō ngā pā hoki ka haere atu nei tātou ki reira."

23 Ā, i pai anō taua kupu ki ahau; nā, ka tango ahau i ētahi tāngata kotahi tekau mā rua i roto i a koutou, tātaki kotahi o tēnei iwi, o tēnei iwi. 24 Ā, ka tahuri rātou, ka piki ki te maunga, ā, ka tae ki te awaawa o Ehekora, ka tirotiro hoki i taua wāhi. 25 Ā, ka tango rātou i ētahi o ngā hua o te whenua ki ō rātou ringa, ā, maua ana ki raro, ki a tātou, i whakahoki ake anō rātou i te kupu ki a tātou, i mea, "He pai te whenua ka hōmai nei e Ihowā, e tō tātou Atua, ki a tātou."

26 Heoi, kīhai koutou i pai ki te haere ki runga; nā, ka tutū ki te kupu a Ihowā, a tō koutou Atua; 27 ā, amuamu ana i roto i ō koutou tēneti, mea ana, "He kino nō Ihowā ki a tātou i whakaputaina mai ai tātou e ia i te whenua o Īhipa, kia hoatu ai tātou ki te ringa o ngā Amori, kia hunā ai tātou. 28 Kia haere tātou ki runga ki hea? Kua ngohe nei hoki ō tātou ngākau i tā ō tātou tuākana, e mea rā, ‘He nunui te iwi, he roroa i a tātou; ko ngā pā he nui, taiepa rawa ā tutuki noa ki te rangi. I kite anō hoki mātou i ngā tama a ngā Anakimi ki reira.’ "

29 Nā, ka mea ahau ki a koutou, "Kei pāwera, kei wehi i a rātou. 30 Ko Ihowā, ko tō koutou Atua, te haere nei i mua i a koutou, māna tā koutou pakanga; ka rite ki ngā mea katoa i mea ai ia mō koutou ki tō koutou aroaro i Īhipa; 31 i te koraha anō, i kite rā koe i reira i tā Ihowā, i tā tōu Atua wahanga i a koe, ānō he tangata e waha ana i tāna tamaiti, i te ara katoa i haere nā koutou, ā tae noa mai ki tēnei wāhi."

32 I tēnei mea anō, kīhai koutou i whakapono ki a Ihowā, ki tō koutou Atua, 33 i haere rā i mua i a koutou i te ara, hei whakataki i tētahi wāhi mō koutou, e tū ai ō koutou tēneti, i te pō i roto i te ahi, hei whakaatu ki a koutou i te ara e haere ai koutou, ā, i roto i te kapua i te awatea.

Ka Whakawhiua e Ihowā a Īharaira

34 Ā, ka rongo a Ihowā i ō koutou reo e kōrero ana, nā, ka riri, ka oati, ka mea: 35 "E kore rawa tētahi o ēnei tāngata – o tēnei whakatupuranga kino – e kite i taua whenua pai i oati ai ahau kia hoatu ki ō koutou mātua, 36 heoi anō ko Karepe, ko te tama a Iepune, e kite ia; ā, ka hoatu e ahau ki a ia, ki āna tama hoki, te whenua i haerea e ia, mōna i tino whai i a Ihowā."

37 Ā, i riri anō a Ihowā ki ahau, mō koutou hoki, i mea mai, "E kore anō koe e tae ki reira. 38 Ko Hohua, ko te tama a Nunu, e tū ana i tōu aroaro, e tae ia ki reira; whakatenatenangia ia; tā te mea māna a Īharaira e whakawhiwhi ki tērā wāhi. 39 Nā, ko ā koutou pōtiki, i mea nā koutou ka waiho hei pārau, me ā koutou tama kīhai nei i mōhio i taua rā ki te pai, ki te kino, e tae rātou ki reira, ka hoatu anō e ahau a reira ki a rātou, ā, e whiwhi rātou ki tērā whenua. 40 Ko koutou ia, tahuri atu, haere ki te koraha, nā te huarahi ki te Moana Whero."

41 Nā, ka utu koutou, ka mea mai ki ahau, "Kua hara mātou ki a Ihowā; ka haere mātou ki runga, ki te whawhai, kia rite ai ngā mea katoa i whakahau mai ai a Ihowā, tō tātou Atua, ki a tātou." Ā, whītikiria ana e koutou, e tērā, e tērā, āna mea mō te riri, nā, ka mea koutou ki te piki ki te maunga.

42 Kātahi ka mea a Ihowā ki ahau, "Mea atu ki a rātou, ‘Kaua e haere, kaua anō e tū ki te riri; kāhore hoki ahau i roto i a koutou; kei patua ki te aroaro o ō koutou hoariri.’ "

43 Nā, ka kōrero ahau ki a koutou; ā, kīhai koutou i rongo, heoi, ka tutū koutou ki te kupu a Ihowā, nā, hīkaka ana koutou, piki ana ki te maunga. 44 Nā, ka puta ngā Amori, e noho ana i taua maunga, ki te tū i a koutou, ā, whai ana i a koutou, ānō he pī, patua iho koutou i Heira, ā taea noatia a Horema. 45 Nā, ka hoki koutou, ka tangi ki te aroaro o Ihowā; otiia kīhai a Ihowā i whakarongo ki tō koutou reo, kīhai anō i anga tōna taringa ki a koutou.

Ngā Tau i te Koraha

46 Nā, ka noho koutou ki Karehe, ā, maha noa ngā rā, ngā rā hoki i noho ai koutou.
