Deuteronômio 7

1 When Yahweh your God brings you into the land where you go to possess it, and casts out many nations before you—the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite—seven nations greater and mightier than you; 2 and when Yahweh your God delivers them up before you, and you strike them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them. 3 You shall not make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to his son, nor shall you take his daughter for your son. 4 For that would turn away your sons from following me, that they may serve other gods. So Yahweh’s anger would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly. 5 But you shall deal with them like this: you shall break down their altars, dash their pillars in pieces, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their engraved images with fire. 6 For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God. Yahweh your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth. 7 Yahweh didn’t set his love on you nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples; 8 but because Yahweh loves you, and because he desires to keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, Yahweh has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that Yahweh your God himself is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness to a thousand generations with those who love him and keep his commandments, 10 and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them. He will not be slack to him who hates him. He will repay him to his face. 11 You shall therefore keep the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances which I command you today, to do them. 12 It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances and keep and do them, that Yahweh your God will keep with you the covenant and the loving kindness which he swore to your fathers. 13 He will love you, bless you, and multiply you. He will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your livestock and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you. 14 You will be blessed above all peoples. There won’t be male or female barren among you, or among your livestock. 15 Yahweh will take away from you all sickness; and he will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, on you, but will lay them on all those who hate you. 16 You shall consume all the peoples whom Yahweh your God shall deliver to you. Your eye shall not pity them. You shall not serve their gods; for that would be a snare to you. 17 If you shall say in your heart, "These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?" 18 you shall not be afraid of them. You shall remember well what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt: 19 the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which Yahweh your God brought you out. So shall Yahweh your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid. 20 Moreover Yahweh your God will send the hornet among them, until those who are left, and hide themselves, perish from before you. 21 You shall not be scared of them; for Yahweh your God is among you, a great and awesome God. 22 Yahweh your God will cast out those nations before you little by little. You may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you. 23 But Yahweh your God will deliver them up before you, and will confuse them with a great confusion, until they are destroyed. 24 He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name perish from under the sky. No one will be able to stand before you until you have destroyed them. 25 You shall burn the engraved images of their gods with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared in it; for it is an abomination to Yahweh your God. 26 You shall not bring an abomination into your house and become a devoted thing like it. You shall utterly detest it. You shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.

He Iwi Whiriwhiri ai

1 E kawe a Ihowā, tōu Atua, i a koe ki te whenua e haere atu nei koe ki reira ki te tango, ā, ka peia ngā iwi maha i tōu aroaro – te Hiti, te Kirikahi te Amori, te Kanaani, te Perihi, te Hiwi, me te Iepuhi, ngā iwi e whitu, he nui ake, he kaha ake i a koe – 2 ā, ka tukua rātou e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki tōu aroaro; nā, me patu rātou e koe, me whakamōtī rawa rātou. Kaua e whakaritea he kawenata ki a rātou, kaua hoki rātou e tohungia. 3 Kaua hoki koe e mārenarena ki a rātou; ko tāu tamāhine kaua e tukua atu mā tāna tama, ko tāna tamāhine hoki kaua e tangohia mā tāu tama. 4 Nō te mea ka whakariroia kētia e ia tāu tama, kei whai i ahau, kia mahi ai rātou ki ngā atua kē, ā, ka mura te riri o Ihowā ki a koutou, ka huna whakarere hoki ia i a koe. 5 Engari, me pēnei tā koutou ki a rātou; ko ā rātou āta, wāhia, ko ā rātou pou, pākarua, ko ā rātou Aherimi, tuaina, ko ā rātou whakapakoko, tahuna ki te ahi. 6 Nō te mea he iwi tapu koe nā Ihowā, nā tōu Atua; i whiriwhiria ai koe e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, kia waiho ai hei iwi motuhake māna i ngā iwi katoa i te mata o te whenua.

7 Ehara i te nui nō koutou i ngā iwi katoa i matenui ai a Ihowā ki a koutou, i whiriwhiri ai i a koutou; he iti rawa hoki koutou i ngā iwi katoa. 8 Engari, he aroha nō Ihowā ki a koutou, he whakamana hoki nāna i te oati i oati ai ia ki ō koutou mātua, i whakaputa mai ai a Ihowā i a koutou ki te ringa kaha, i hoko ai i a koe i roto i te whare pononga, i te ringa hoki o Parao, o te kīngi o Īhipa. 9 Nā, kia mōhio koe ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua, ko te Atua ia, ko te Atua pono, e pupuri ana i te kawenata, i te atawhai mō te hunga e aroha ana ki a ia, e pupuri ana i āna whakahau ā mano noa ngā whakatupuranga; 10 e hoatu ana anō e ia ki tō rātou aroaro te utu mō te hunga e kino ana ki a ia, arā he whakangaro mō rātou. E kore ia e whakaroa ki te tangata e kino ana ki a ia, ka hoatu anō e ia he utu ki tōna aroaro. 11 Inā, puritia ngā whakahau, ngā tikanga, me ngā whakaritenga e whakahau nei ahau ki a koe i tēnei rā kia mahia.

He Manaaki mō te Hunga Whakarongo

12 Ā tēnei ake, ki te rongo koutou ki ēnei whakaritenga, ki te puritia, ki te mahia, nā, ka whakamanā e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, te kawenata ki a koe, me te atawhai i oati ai ia ki ōu mātua. 13 Ā, ka aroha ia ki a koe, ka manaaki i a koe, ka whakanui hoki i a koe, ka manaaki anō hoki i te hua o tōu kōpū, i te hua o tōu oneone, i tāu wīti, i tāu wāina, i tāu hinu, i ngā whānau a āu kau, i ngā kāhui o āu hipi, ki te whenua i oati ai ia ki ōu mātua kia hoatu ki a koe. 14 Ka manaakitia koe, nui atu i ngā iwi katoa. E kore e pākoko te tāne, te wahine rānei, i roto i a koe, i roto rānei i āu kararehe. 15 Ka tangohia atu anō e Ihowā ngā tūrorotanga katoa, e kore rawa hoki ia e whakapā ki a koe i tētahi o ngā mate nanakia o Īhipa, i kite rā koe; engari ka whakapākia atu e ia ki ōu hoariri katoa. 16 Ā, ka whakapaua e koe ngā iwi katoa e hoatu nei e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki a koe; kaua tōu kanohi e tohu i a rātou. Aua anō koe e mahi ki ō rātou atua; he rore hoki tēnā mōu.

17 Ki te mea koe i roto i tōu ngākau, "He nui ngā iwi nei i ahau; me pēhea e taea ai rātou te pei e ahau?" 18 Kei wehi i a rātou, kia āta mahara ki ngā mea i meatia e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki a Parao, ki Īhipa katoa; 19 ki ngā whakamātau nunui i kite rā ōu kanohi, ki ngā tohu, ki ngā merekara, ki te ringa kaha, ki te tākakau mārō, i tangohia mai ai koe e Ihowā, e tōu Atua. Ka pērātia e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ngā iwi katoa e wehi nā koe. 20 Ka tukua atu anō e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, te horonete ki a rātou, kia mōtī rā anō ngā mea i mahue, me ngā mea i ngaro atu i ōu kanohi. 21 Kaua e wehi i a rātou; tā te mea kei waenganui i a koe a Ihowā, tōu Atua; he Atua nui ia, e wehingia ana. 22 Ā, ka whakangaromia rikirikitia ēnei iwi e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, i tōu aroaro; e kore e āhei i a koe te huna wawe i a rātou, kei hira ake i a koe ngā kīrehe mohoao o te whenua. 23 Otiia, ka tukua atu rātou e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki tōu aroaro, ā, he nui te hunanga e hunā ai rātou e ia, kia ngaro rā anō rātou. 24 Ā, ka hoatu e ia ō rātou kīngi ki tōu ringa, ā, ka whakangaromia e koe ō rātou ingoa i raro i te rangi; e kore e tū tētahi tangata ki tōu aroaro, kia ngaro rā anō rātou i a koe. 25 Ko ngā whakapakoko o ō rātou atua me tahu ki te ahi; aua e minamina atu ki te hiriwa, ki te kōura rānei e mau ana ki aua mea, kaua hoki e tangohia mōu, kei māhangatia koe e ēnā mea. He mea whakarihariha hoki ēnā ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua. 26 Kaua hoki e maua te mea whakarihariha ki roto ki tōu whare; kei kangā koe, kei pērātia me taua mea; engari, kia tino whakarihariha koe, kia tino anuanu; he mea hoki kua oti te kanga.
