¹And now, O Israel, hearken unto the statutes and unto the ordinances, which I teach you, to do them; that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which Jehovah, the God of your fathers, giveth you.

¹¶ Na, whakarongo mai ra inaianei, e Iharaira, ki nga tikanga, ki nga whakaritenga e whakaako atu nei ahau ki a koutou kia mahia; kia ora ai koutou, kia tae atu ai, kia noho ai hoki ki te whenua e homai nei e Ihowa, e te Atua o o koutou matua, ki a koutou.

²Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish from it, that ye may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God which I command you.

²Ko te kupu, e whakahaua atu nei e ahau ki a koutou, kaua e tapiritia ki etahi atu, kaua ano e kinitia atu tetahi wahi ona; kia rite ai i a koutou nga whakahau a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, e whakahaua nei e ahau ki a koutou.

³Your eyes have seen what Jehovah did because of Baal-peor; for all the men that followed Baal-peor, Jehovah thy God hath destroyed them from the midst of thee.

³Kua kite o koutou kanohi i ta Ihowa i mea ai mo Paarapeoro: ko nga tangata katoa hoki i whai i a Paarapeoro whakamatea rawatia iho ratou e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, i roto i a koutou.

⁴But ye that did cleave unto Jehovah your God are alive every one of you this day.

⁴Ko koutou ia, i awhi ra ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, e ora katoa ana i tenei ra.

⁵Behold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as Jehovah my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the midst of the land whither ye go in to possess it.

⁵Titiro, kua whakaako ahau i a koutou ki nga tikanga, ki nga whakaritenga, ki a Ihowa, ki a toku Atua i ako ai ki ahau, hei mahi ma koutou i waenganui o te whenua e haere atu nei koutou ki reira ki te tango.

⁶Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, that shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

⁶Na puritia, mahia: ko to koutou whakaaro nui hoki ia, me to koutou mohio ki te titiro mai a nga tauiwi, a nga mea e rongo ana ki enei tikanga katoa, a ka mea ratou, Koia hoki, he hunga mohio, he hunga tupato tenei iwi nui.

⁷For what great nation is there, that hath a god so nigh unto them, as Jehovah our God is whensoever we call upon him?

⁷Ko wai hoki te iwi nui, e whiwhi ana ki te atua penei te tata ki a ratou me Ihowa, me to tatou Atua, e tata mai nei i a tatou karangaranga katoa ki a ia?

⁸And what great nation is there, that hath statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

⁸Ko wai hoki te iwi nui, i a ia nei nga tikanga me nga whakaritenga tika, penei me tenei ture katoa e hoatu nei e ahau ki to koutou aroaro i tenei ra?

⁹Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes saw, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life; but make them known unto thy children and thy children's children;

⁹Mau ia koe e tiaki, me tiaki marie ano tou wairua, kei wareware ki nga mea i kite ai ou kanohi, kei riro atu hoki i roto i tou ngakau, i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe; engari me whakaako au tama, me nga tama hoki a au tama ki ena mea;

¹⁰the day that thou stoodest before Jehovah thy God in Horeb, when Jehovah said unto me, Assemble me the people, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.

¹⁰Ki te ra ano hoki i tu ai koe i te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, i Horepa, i ta Ihowa meatanga mai ki ahau, Huihuia mai te iwi ki ahau, a maku e mea kia rongo ratou i aku korero, kia whakaakona ai kia wehi i ahau i nga ra katoa e ora ai ratou i ru nga i te whenua, hei whakaako atu ma ratou ki a ratou tama.

¹¹And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the heart of heaven, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness.

¹¹Na ka whakatata koutou, ka tu hoki i raro iho o te maunga; ko te maunga hoki ka tonu i te ahi, a kakati noa ki waenganui o te rangi, te pouri! te kapua! na, pouri kerekere.

¹²And Jehovah spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of words, but ye saw no form; only [ye heard] a voice.

¹²Na ka korero mai a Ihowa ki a koutou i waenganui o te ahi: ko te puakanga mai o nga kupu ta koutou i rongo ai, tena ko tetahi ahau kihai i kitea; heoi ano ko te reo kau.

¹³And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

¹³Na ka kauwhautia e ia ki a koutou tana kawenata, i whakahaua e ia ki a koutou kia whakaritea, ara nga ture kotahi tekau, a tuhituhia iho e ia ki nga papa kohatu e rua.

¹⁴And Jehovah commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.

¹⁴I whakahau ano a Ihowa i ahau i taua wa, kia whakaakona koutou ki nga tikanga, ki nga whakaritenga, hei mahi ma koutou ki te whenua e haere atu nei koutou ki reira ki te tango.

¹⁵Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of form on the day that Jehovah spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire.

¹⁵Tiakina marietia ra o koutou wairua; kihai hoki koutou i kite i tetahi ahua, me he aha, me he aha, i te ra i korero ai a Ihowa ki a koutou i Horepa, i waenganui o te ahi;

¹⁶Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

¹⁶Kei he koutou, kei hanga i te whakapakoko ma koutou, i te ritenga o tetahi tauira, i te ahua o te tane, o te wahine ranei;

¹⁷the likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flieth in the heavens,

¹⁷I te ahua o tetahi kararehe o te whenua, i te ahua o tetahi manu whai parirau e rererere ana i te rangi,

¹⁸the likeness of anything that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth;

¹⁸I te ahua o tetahi mea e ngokingoki ana i te whenua, i te ahua o tetahi ika i roto i te wai i raro iho o te whenua:

¹⁹and lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of heaven, thou be drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which Jehovah thy God hath allotted unto all the peoples under the whole heaven.

¹⁹Kei anga ake ranei ou kanohi ki te rangi, ka kite i te ra, i te marama ranei, i nga whetu, i te ope katoa o te rangi, na ka takina atu koe ki te koropiko atu ki ena mea, ki te mahi atu hoki ki ena mea, i tuwhaina mai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, mo nga iwi katoa i raro o te rangi, puta noa, puta noa.

²⁰But Jehovah hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as at this day.

²⁰Na Ihowa ia koutou i tango, nana hoki koutou i whakaputa mai i roto i te oumu rino, i Ihipa, kia waiho ai hei iwi tupu mana, me koutou inaianei.

²¹Furthermore Jehovah was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance:

²¹I riri mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau mo ta koutou hoki, a oati mai ana e kore ahau e whiti i Horano, e kore ano e tae ki te whenua pai, ka homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe hei kainga tupu.

²²but I must die in this land, I must not go over the Jordan; but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.

²²Engari ka mate ahau ki tenei whenua, e kore ahau nei e whiti i Horano: ko koutou ia ka whiti, ka tango hoki i taua whenua pai.

²³Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of Jehovah your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image in the form of anything which Jehovah thy God hath forbidden thee.

²³Kia tupato, kei wareware ki te kawenata a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, i whakaritea e ia ki a koutou, kei hanga hoki he whakapakoko ma koutou ki te ritenga o tetahi mea i riria mai nei koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua.

²⁴For Jehovah thy God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.

²⁴Ko Ihowa hoki, ko tou Atua, he ahi e ki ana, he Atua hae ia.

²⁵When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have been long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image in the form of anything, and shall do that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah thy God, to provoke him to anger;

²⁵E whanau au tamariki me nga tamariki a au tamariki, a ka roa to koutou noho ki te whenua, a ka taka koutou, ka hanga hoki i te whakapakoko ki te ahua o tetahi mea, a ka mahi i te mea e kino ana ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tou Atua, hei whakapatarita ri i a ia:

²⁶I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over the Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

²⁶Ka waiho e ahau i tenei ra te rangi me te whenua hei kaititiro mo koutou, mo te matenga hoki e hohoro ai koutou te mate atu i te whenua e whiti atu nei koutou i Horano ki reira, ki te tango; e kore e roa o koutou ra ki reira, engari ka tino ngar o rawa koutou.

²⁷And Jehovah will scatter you among the peoples, and ye shall be left few in number among the nations, whither Jehovah shall lead you away.

²⁷A ka whakamarara a Ihowa i a koutou ki nga tauiwi, a he hunga torutoru o koutou e toe i roto i nga tauiwi, e kawea atu ai koutou e Ihowa ki reira.

²⁸And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

²⁸A ka mahi koutou i reira ki nga atua i hanga e nga ringa tangata, ki te rakau, ki te kohatu, e kore nei e kite, e kore e rongo, e kore e kai, e kore ano e hongi.

²⁹But from thence ye shall seek Jehovah thy God, and thou shalt find him, when thou searchest after him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

²⁹Otiia ki te rapu koe i reira i a Ihowa, i tou Atua, na ka kitea e koe, ki te whakapaua katoatia tou ngakau me tou wairua ki te rapu i a ia.

³⁰When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, in the latter days thou shalt return to Jehovah thy God, and hearken unto his voice:

³⁰Ki te mate koe, a ka pono ki a koe enei mea katoa i nga ra a muri ake nei, ka hoki koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, ka whakarongo ano hoki ki tona reo;

³¹for Jehovah thy God is a merciful God; he will not fail thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.

³¹He atua tohu hoki a Ihowa, tou Atua; e kore ia e whakarere i a koe, e kore ano hoki e whakangaro i a koe, e kore hoki e wareware ki te kawenata ki ou matua, i oati ai ia ki a ratou.

³²For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and from the one end of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been [any such thing] as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?

³²Ui atu hoki ki nga rangi onamata, o mua i a koe, o te ra i hanga ai e te Atua te tangata ki runga ki te whenua, i tetahi pito o te rangi paku noa ki tetahi pito o te rangi, i puta mai ranei tetahi mea hei rite mo tenei mea te nui, i rangona rane i he rite ki tenei?

³³Did ever a people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?

³³I rongo ranei tetahi iwi i te reo o te Atua e korero mai ana i waenganui o te ahi, me tau i rongo ai, a ora ake?

³⁴Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of [another] nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Jehovah your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

³⁴I whakamatau ranei te Atua te haere iho, te tango i tetahi iwi mana i waenganui i tetahi iwi ke, i runga i nga whakamatau, i nga tohu, i nga merekara, i te whawhai, i te ringaringa kaha, i te ringaringa maro, i nga whakawehi nui, i nga mea katoa i mea ai a Ihowa, to koutou Atua ki a koutou, ki to koutou aroaro i Ihipa?

³⁵Unto thee it was showed, that thou mightest know that Jehovah he is God; there is none else besides him.

³⁵I whakakitea mai ai ena mea ki a koe kia mohio ai koe ki a Ihowa, ko ia te Atua; kahore ke atu i a ia.

³⁶Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he made thee to see his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.

³⁶I meatia koe e ia kia rongo ki tona reo i te rangi, hei whakaako i a koe: a i te whenua i whakakitea e ia tana ahi nui ki a koe; ko ana kupu hoki i rangona e koe i waenganui i te ahi.

³⁷And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt;

³⁷A, no te mea i aroha ia ki ou matua, koia i whiriwhiria ai e ia o ratou uri i muri i a ratou, i whakaputaina mai ai hoki koe i Ihipa, me tana titiro tonu iho, i runga ano i tona kaha nui;

³⁸to drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as at this day.

³⁸I mea ai ki te pei i nga iwi he nui, he kaha i a koe i tou aroaro, ki te kawe i a koe, ki te hoatu i to ratou oneone ki a koe hei kainga pumau; koia tenei inaianei.

³⁹Know therefore this day, and lay it to thy heart, that Jehovah he is God in heaven above and upon the earth beneath; there is none else.

³⁹Na kia mohio koe i tenei ra, kia whakaaro hoki i roto i tou ngakau, ko Ihowa, ko ia te Atua i te rangi i runga, i te whenua hoki i raro; kahore ke atu.

⁴⁰And thou shalt keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days in the land, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, for ever.

⁴⁰Na kia mau ki ana tikanga, ki ana whakahau, e whakahaua nei e ahau i tenei ra ki a koe, hei pai hoki mou, mo au tama i muri i a koe, kia roa ai ou ra ki te whenua ka hoatu nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua ki a koe a ake tonu atu.

⁴¹Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising;

⁴¹¶ Katahi a Mohi ka motuhake i nga pa e toru i tenei taha o Horano, whaka te rawhiti;

⁴²that the manslayer might flee thither, that slayeth his neighbor unawares, and hated him not in time past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:

⁴²Hei rerenga atu mo te tangata whakamate, i whakamate i tona hoa, otiia ehara i te mea ata whakaaro, ehara hoki i te hoariri nona i mua; na ka rere ia ki tetahi o aua pa, a ka ora;

⁴³[namely], Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.

⁴³Ara i Pehere i te koraha, i te whenua mania, mo nga Reupeni; i Ramoto i Kireara, mo nga Kari; i Korana i Pahana, mo nga Manahi.

⁴⁴And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:

⁴⁴A, ko te ture tenei i hoatu e Mohi ki te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira:

⁴⁵these are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, when they came forth out of Egypt,

⁴⁵Ko nga whakaaturanga ano enei, me nga tikanga, me nga whakaritenga i korerotia e Mohi ki nga tama a Iharaira, i to ratou putanga mai i Ihipa,

⁴⁶beyond the Jordan, in the valley over against Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, when they came forth out of Egypt.

⁴⁶I tenei taha o Horano, i te raorao i te ritenga atu o Petepeoro, i te whenua o Hihona, o te kingi o nga Amori, i noho ra i Hehepona, i patua ra e Mohi ratou ko nga tama a Iharaira, i to ratou putanga mai i Ihipa;

⁴⁷And they took his land in possession, and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising;

⁴⁷A tangohia ana tona whenua e ratou, me te whenua hoki o Oka, o te kingi o Pahana, to nga kingi tokorua o nga Amori, i tenei taha o Horano, whaka te rawhiti;

⁴⁸from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, even unto mount Sion (the same is Hermon),

⁴⁸O Aroera i te taha o te awa o Aranona, a Maunga Hiona, ara a Heremona,

⁴⁹and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.

⁴⁹Me te Arapaha katoa i tera taha o Horano, whaka te rawhiti, a tae noa ki te moana o te Arapaha, i raro iho i nga titahatanga o Pihika.
