Deuteronômio 32

1 Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak.

Let the earth hear the words of my mouth.

2 My doctrine will drop as the rain.

My speech will condense as the dew,

as the misty rain on the tender grass,

as the showers on the herb.

3 For I will proclaim Yahweh’s name.

Ascribe greatness to our God!

4 The Rock: his work is perfect,

for all his ways are just.

A God of faithfulness who does no wrong,

just and right is he.

5 They have dealt corruptly with him.

They are not his children, because of their defect.

They are a perverse and crooked generation.

6 Is this the way you repay Yahweh,

foolish and unwise people?

Isn’t he your father who has bought you?

He has made you and established you.

7 Remember the days of old.

Consider the years of many generations.

Ask your father, and he will show you;

your elders, and they will tell you.

8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,

when he separated the children of men,

he set the bounds of the peoples

according to the number of the children of Israel.

9 For Yahweh’s portion is his people.

Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

10 He found him in a desert land,

in the waste howling wilderness.

He surrounded him.

He cared for him.

He kept him as the apple of his eye.

11 As an eagle that stirs up her nest,

that flutters over her young,

he spread abroad his wings,

he took them,

he bore them on his feathers.

12 Yahweh alone led him.

There was no foreign god with him.

13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth.

He ate the increase of the field.

He caused him to suck honey out of the rock,

oil out of the flinty rock;

14 butter from the herd, and milk from the flock,

with fat of lambs,

rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats,

with the finest of the wheat.

From the blood of the grape, you drank wine.

15 But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked.

You have grown fat.

You have grown thick.

You have become sleek.

Then he abandoned God who made him,

and rejected the Rock of his salvation.

16 They moved him to jealousy with strange gods.

They provoked him to anger with abominations.

17 They sacrificed to demons, not God,

to gods that they didn’t know,

to new gods that came up recently,

which your fathers didn’t dread.

18 Of the Rock who became your father, you are unmindful,

and have forgotten God who gave you birth.

19 Yahweh saw and abhorred,

because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.

20 He said, "I will hide my face from them.

I will see what their end will be;

for they are a very perverse generation,

children in whom is no faithfulness.

21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God.

They have provoked me to anger with their vanities.

I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people.

I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

22 For a fire is kindled in my anger,

that burns to the lowest Sheol,*32:22 Sheol is the place of the dead.

devours the earth with its increase,

and sets the foundations of the mountains on fire.

23 "I will heap evils on them.

I will spend my arrows on them.

24 They shall be wasted with hunger,

and devoured with burning heat

and bitter destruction.

I will send the teeth of animals on them,

with the venom of vipers that glide in the dust.

25 Outside the sword will bereave,

and in the rooms,

terror on both young man and virgin,

the nursing infant with the gray-haired man.

26 I said that I would scatter them afar.

I would make their memory to cease from among men;

27 were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy,

lest their adversaries should judge wrongly,

lest they should say, ‘Our hand is exalted;

Yahweh has not done all this.’"

28 For they are a nation void of counsel.

There is no understanding in them.

29 Oh that they were wise, that they understood this,

that they would consider their latter end!

30 How could one chase a thousand,

and two put ten thousand to flight,

unless their Rock had sold them,

and Yahweh had delivered them up?

31 For their rock is not as our Rock,

even our enemies themselves concede.

32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom,

of the fields of Gomorrah.

Their grapes are poison grapes.

Their clusters are bitter.

33 Their wine is the poison of serpents,

the cruel venom of asps.

34 "Isn’t this laid up in store with me,

sealed up among my treasures?

35 Vengeance is mine, and recompense,

at the time when their foot slides,

for the day of their calamity is at hand.

Their doom rushes at them."

36 For Yahweh will judge his people,

and have compassion on his servants,

when he sees that their power is gone,

that there is no one remaining, shut up or left at large.

37 He will say, "Where are their gods,

the rock in which they took refuge,

38 which ate the fat of their sacrifices,

and drank the wine of their drink offering?

Let them rise up and help you!

Let them be your protection.

39 "See now that I myself am he.

There is no god with me.

I kill and I make alive.

I wound and I heal.

There is no one who can deliver out of my hand.

40 For I lift up my hand to heaven and declare,

as I live forever,

41 if I sharpen my glittering sword,

my hand grasps it in judgment;

I will take vengeance on my adversaries,

and will repay those who hate me.

42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood.

My sword shall devour flesh with the blood of the slain and the captives,

from the head of the leaders of the enemy."

43 Rejoice, you nations, with his people,

for he will avenge the blood of his servants.

He will take vengeance on his adversaries,

and will make atonement for his land and for his people.*32:43 For this verse, LXX reads: Rejoice, you heavens, with him, and let all the angels of God worship him; rejoice you Gentiles, with his people, and let all the sons of God strengthen themselves in him; for he will avenge the blood of his sons, and he will give vengeance, and recompense justice to his enemies, and will reward them that hate him; and the Lord shall purge the land of his people.

44 Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun. 45 Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel. 46 He said to them, "Set your heart to all the words which I testify to you today, which you shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. 47 For it is no vain thing for you, because it is your life, and through this thing you shall prolong your days in the land, where you go over the Jordan to possess it."

48 Yahweh spoke to Moses that same day, saying, 49 "Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is across from Jericho; and see the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession. 50 Die on the mountain where you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor, and was gathered to his people; 51 because you trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you didn’t uphold my holiness among the children of Israel. 52 For you shall see the land from a distance; but you shall not go there into the land which I give the children of Israel."

1 Kia whai taringa mai, e ngā rangi, ā, ka kōrero ahau;

whakarongo mai hoki, e te whenua, ki ngā kupu a tōku māngai.

2 Ka kōpatapata iho tāku whakaako, ānō he ua,

ka māturuturu iho tāku kupu me te tōmairangi;

me te ua pūnehunehu ki runga i te tupu hou,

me te ua tā ki runga i te tarutaru.

3 Nō te mea ka kauwhautia e ahau te ingoa o Ihowā;

waiho te nui i tō tātou Atua.

4 Ko te Kāmaka, tika tonu tāna mahi;

he whakarite tikanga nei hoki ōna huarahi katoa.

He Atua pono, kāhore ōna hē,

he tika, he tapatahi ia.

5 Kua mahi rātou i te kino ki a ia,

ehara rātou i te tamariki nāna, nō rātou te koha;

he whakatupuranga mārō, parori kē rātou.

6 Ko tā koutou utu ianei tēnei ki a Ihowā,

e te iwi kūware, e kore nei e mōhio?

Ehara ianei ia i tōu matua nāna koe i hoko?

Nāna koe i hanga, nāna hoki koe i whakaū.

7 Kia mahara ki ngā rā onamata;

whakaarohia ngā tau o ngā whakatupuranga e maha.

Ui atu ki tōu pāpā, ā, māna e whakaatu ki a koe;

ki ōu kaumātua, ā, mā rātou e kōrero ki a koe.

8 I tā te Runga Rawa whakaritenga kāinga mō ngā iwi,

i tāna wehewehenga i ngā tama a te tangata,

i whakatūria e ia ngā rohe mō ngā iwi,

me te whakaaro anō ki te tokomaha o ngā tama a Īharaira.

9 Ko tō Ihowā wāhi hoki, ko tāna iwi;

ko Hākopa hei wāhi pūmau mōna.

10 I kitea ia e ia ki te whenua koraha,

ki te tahora tūhea e hāmama kau ana.

I taiāwhiotia ia e ia, i atawhaitia, i tiakina hoki e ia,

ānō ko te whatupango o tōna kanohi.

11 Ānō he ēkara e whakakorikori ana i tāna ōhanga,

e whakapāho ana i runga i āna pī,

e roharoha ana ia i ōna parirau, e tango ana i a rātou,

e waha ana hoki i a rātou i runga i ōna parirau.

12 Nā Ihowā anake ia i ārahi,

kāhore hoki he atua kē i tōna taha.

13 Nāna hoki ia i whakaeke ki ngā wāhi tiketike o te whenua, hei hōiho mōna,

ā, i kai ia i ngā hua o te māra;

ā, nāna ia i ngongo ai i te honi i roto i te kāmaka,

i te hinu hoki i roto i te kōhatu kiripaka;

14 i te pata o te kau, i te waiū hipi,

i te ngako reme, i ngā hipi toa

o te momo o Pahana, i ngā koati,

me te taupā o ngā whatukuhu o te wīti –

ā, i inu koe i te wāina, i te toto o te karepe.

15 Nāwai ā ka whai kiko a Iēhuruna, ā, whana mai ana;

kua whai kiko koe, kua tetere, kua kī i te ngako;

ā, whakarērea iho e ia te Atua nāna ia i hanga,

whakahāwea ana ki te Kāmaka o tōna whakaoranga.

16 Nā rātou i mea kia hae ia ki ngā atua kē,

whakapātaritari ana rātou i a ia ki ngā mea whakarihariha kia riri.

17 Ko ā rātou patunga tapu i tāpaea e rātou mā ngā rēwera, ehara nei i te Atua,

mā ngā atua kīhai nei rātou i mōhio,

he mea puta hou ake nōnāianei,

kīhai nei i wehingia e ō koutou mātua.

18 Ko te Kāmaka i whānau ai koe ka wareware i a koe,

kāhore hoki ōu mahara ki te Atua nāna koe i hanga.

19 Ā, ka kite a Ihowā, nā anuanu ana ia ki a rātou,

mō te mahi whakapātaritari a āna tama, a āna tamāhine.

20 Nā, ka mea, "Ka huna ahau i tōku mata i a rātou,

ka titiro atu ahau he aha he mutunga mō rātou;

he whakatupuranga parori kē hoki rātou,

he tamariki kāhore he pono i roto.

21 Nā, rātou ahau i mea kia hae ki te mea ehara i te Atua;

i whakapātaritari kia riri ki ā rātou mea horihori.

Nā, māku rātou e mea kia hae ki te hunga ehara i te iwi;

māku rātou e whakapātaritari kia riri ki te iwi pōauau.

22 Ka ngiha hoki te ahi i ahau e riri ana,

ka toro atu ki te takere rā anō o te rēinga,

pau ake hoki te whenua,

tahuna ana ngā tūranga o ngā maunga.

23 "Ka opehia e ahau ngā kino ki runga ki a rātou;

ka whakapotoa āku pere ki a rātou.

24 Ka hemo rātou i te matekai,

ka pau hoki i te hana o te wera

me te hunanga nui whakaharahara;

māku hoki e tuku iho te niho o ngā kararehe ki a rātou,

me te hūwhare whakamate o ngā mea e ngōki ana i te puehu.

25 Ko te hoari ki waho whakamate ai,

ko te wehi ki roto i ngā whare.

Māna e huna ngātahi te taitama me te taitamāhine,

te mea ngote ū rāua ko te tangata hina.

26 I mea ahau, ‘Ka whakamararatia rātou e ahau ki tawhiti,

ka meinga e ahau kia mutu te mahara ki a rātou i roto i ngā tāngata.’

27 Me i kāhore ahau te wehi i te ngākau kino o te hoa whawhai,

kei pōhēhē ōna hoariri, kei mea rātou,

‘Kua kake tō tātou ringa,

kāhore anō hoki a Ihowā i mea i ēnei mea katoa.’ "

28 He iwi whakaarokore hoki rātou,

ā, kāhore he mōhio i roto i a rātou.

29 Ē, me i tūpato rātou, me i mōhio ki tēnei,

me i whakaaro ki tō rātou mutunga iho!

30 Me pēhea e whai ai te kotahi i te mano,

e whati ai ngā mano kotahi tekau i te tokorua,

me i kāhore rātou i hokona e tō rātou Kāmaka,

i tukua atu hoki e Ihowā?

31 Nō te mea ehara tō rātou kāmaka i te pēnei me tō tātou Kāmaka,

nā ō tātou hoariri nei anō te kī.

32 Nō te mea ko ā rātou wāina nō te wāina o Horoma,

nō ngā māra hoki o Komora:

ko ā rātou karepe he karepe au kawa,

ko ā rātou tautau kakati ana;

33 ko tā rātou wāina ko te hūwhare whakamate o ngā tarakona,

me te ware ngau kino o ngā ahipi.

34 "Kāhore ianei tēnei i rongoātia ki roto ki ahau,

i hīritia hoki ki waenga i āku taonga?

35 Māku ngā utu e rapu, māku hoki e ea ai,

ā te wā e paheke ai ō rātou waewae;

e tata ana hoki te rā e hunā ai rātou,

ā, kei te kaikā mai ngā mea i whakaritea mō rātou."

36 Nō te mea ka whakatika a Ihowā i tā tāna iwi,

ka aroha hoki ki āna pononga;

ina kite ia kua riro tō rātou kaha,

ā, kāhore he mea i toe, i tūtakina ki roto,

i waiho atu rānei ki waho.

37 Ā, ka mea ia: "Kei hea ō rātou atua,

te kāmaka i okioki atu ai rātou;

38 i kai nei i te ngako o ā rātou patunga tapu,

i inu hoki i te wāina o ā rātou ringihanga?

Me whakatika rātou ki te āwhina i a koutou,

kia ai hoki rātou hei kuhunga atu mō koutou.

39 "Nā titiro, ko ahau, inā ko ahau ia,

kāhore hoki he atua i tōku taha.

E whakamate ana ahau, ā, e whakaora ana;

i tukitukia e ahau, ko ahau anō e whakamahu ana;

kāhore hoki he tangata e ora ai tētahi i tōku ringa.

40 Nō te mea e totoro atu ana tōku ringa ki te rangi,

me tāku kī anō: I ahau e ora tonu nei,

41 ki te whakakoia e ahau tāku hoari kānapanapa,

ā, ka mau tōku ringa ki te whakariterite;

ka whakahokia atu e ahau he utu ki ōku hoariri,

ka ea hoki i ahau tā te hunga e kino ana ki ahau.

42 Ka whakahaurangitia e ahau āku pere ki te toto,

ā, ka kai tāku hoari i te kikokiko;

ki te toto o te hunga i patua, o ngā herehere,

nō te māhunga o ngā rangatira o te hoariri."

43 Kia hari tahi, e ngā tauiwi, me tāna iwi:

ka takitakina hoki e ia te toto o āna pononga,

ā, ka whakahokia he utu ki ōna hoariri,

ka whakamārie anō ki tōna whenua, ki tāna iwi.

44 Nā, ka haere mai a Mohi, ka kōrero i ngā kupu katoa o tēnei waiata ki ngā taringa o te iwi, a ia, me Hohua, me te tama a Nunu. 45 Ā, ka mutu tā Mohi kōrero i ēnei kupu katoa ki a Īharaira katoa; 46 nā, ka mea ia ki a rātou: "Kia anga mai ō koutou ngākau ki ngā kupu katoa e kauwhautia atu nei e ahau ki a koutou i tēnei rā; hei whakahau atu mā koutou ki ā koutou tamariki kia puritia, kia mahia, ngā kupu katoa o tēnei ture. 47 Nō te mea ehara tēnei i te mea noa iho ki a koutou; ko tō koutou oranga hoki ia, ā, mā tēnei mea e roa ai ō koutou rā ki te whenua ka whiti atu nei koutou i Horano ki reira ki te tango."

Ka Whakaaetia e Ihowā a Mohi kia Kite i te Whenua o Kanaana

48 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi i taua tino rangi anō, i mea, 49 "E piki koe i tēnei maunga, i Aparimi, ki Maunga Nepo, i te whenua o Moapa, e anga atu ana ki Heriko; ka titiro atu ki te whenua o Kanaana e hoatu nei e ahau ki ngā tama a Īharaira hei kāinga; 50 ā, e mate koe ki runga ki te maunga e piki atu nā koe, ka kohia hoki ki tōu iwi; ka pērātia me Ārona, me tōu tuakana, i mate rā ki Maunga Horo, ā, kohia atu ana ki tōna iwi; 51 mō kōrua hoki i hara ki ahau i waenganui o ngā tama a Īharaira i ngā wai o Meripa, i Karehe, i te koraha o Hini; mō kōrua kīhai i whakatapu i ahau i waenganui o ngā tama a Īharaira. 52 Heoi, ka kite koe i te whenua i mua i tōu aroaro; otiia e kore koe e tae ki reira – ki te whenua e hoatu ana e ahau mō ngā tama a Īharaira."
