¹¶ Na ko te whakahau tenei, ko nga tikanga me nga whakaritenga, i whakahaua mai e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, kia whakaakona atu ki a koutou, hei mahi ma koutou ki te whenua e haere atu nei koutou ki reira ki te tango:

¹`And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which Jehovah your God hath commanded to teach you, to do in the land which ye are passing over thither to possess it,

²Kia wehi ai koe i a Ihowa, i tou Atua, kia puritia ai ana tikanga katoa, me ana whakahau e whakahaua nei e ahau ki a koe, e koe, e tau tama, e te tama hoki a tau tama, i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe; kia roa ai hoki ou ra.

²so that thou dost fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commands, which I am commanding thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son`s son, all days of thy life, and so that thy days are prolonged.

³Na, whakarongo, e Iharaira, kia mahara hoki kia mahia enei mea, kia whiwhi ai koe ki te pai, kia nui rawa ai hoki koutou, kia pera ai me ta Ihowa, me ta te Atua o ou matua i korero ai ki a koe, ki te whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi.

³`And thou hast heard, O Israel, and observed to do, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest multiply exceedingly, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.

⁴¶ Whakarongo, e Iharaira: Ko Ihowa, ko to tatou Atua, he Ihowa kotahi:

⁴`Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God [is] one Jehovah;

⁵A me whakapau katoa tou ngakau, tou wairua, tou kaha ki te aroha ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua.

⁵and thou hast loved Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might,

⁶Hei roto ano i tou ngakau enei kupu e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koe i tenei ra;

⁶and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart,

⁷Whakaakona marietia atu hoki ki au tamariki, korerotia i a koe e noho ana i tou whare, i a koe e haere ana i te huarahi, i a koe e takoto ana, i tou aranga ake hoki.

⁷and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,

⁸Me here e koe hei tohu ki tou ringa, hei pare ano ena mea ki waenganui o ou kanohi.

⁸and hast bound them for a sign upon thy hand, and they have been for frontlets between thine eyes,

⁹Tuhituhia ano hoki ki nga pou tatau o tou whare, ki ou tatau hoki.

⁹and thou hast written them on door-posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

¹⁰A, a mua ake nei, ina kawea koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki te whenua i oati ai ia ki ou matua, ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa, a ka homai e ia ki a koe he pa nunui, papai, kihai nei i hanga e koe,

¹⁰`And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land which He hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to thee — cities great and good, which thou hast not built,

¹¹He whare ki tonu i nga mea papai katoa, kihai nei i whakakiia e koe, he poka wai oti rawa te keri, kihai i keria e koe, he mara waina, he oriwa, kihai nei i whakatokia e koe: a ka kai koe, ka makona;

¹¹and houses full of all good things which thou hast not filled, and wells digged which thou hast not digged, vineyards and olive-yards which thou hast not planted, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied;

¹²Kia tupato ki a koe i reira, kei wareware ki a Ihowa, nana nei koe i whakaputa mai i te whenua o Ihipa, i te whare pononga.

¹²`Take heed to thyself lest thou forget Jehovah who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;

¹³Ko Ihowa, ko tou Atua tau e wehi ai, me mahi ano hoki ki a ia, ko tona ingoa hoki hei oatitanga mau.

¹³Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, and Him thou dost serve, and by His name thou dost swear;

¹⁴Kei whai ki nga atua ke, o nga atua o nga tauiwi i tetahi taha o koutou, i tetahi taha;

¹⁴ye do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about you;

¹⁵He Atua hae hoki a Ihowa, tou Atua i waenganui i a koe; kei mura te riri o Ihowa, o tou Atua ki a koe, a ka ngaro koe i te mata o te whenua.

¹⁵for a zealous God [is] Jehovah thy God in thy midst — lest the anger of Jehovah thy God burn against thee, and He hath destroyed thee from off the face of the ground.

¹⁶Kei whakamatautau i a Ihowa, i to koutou Atua, me koutou ra i whakamatautau i a ia i Meha.

¹⁶`Ye do not try Jehovah your God as ye tried in Massah;

¹⁷¶ Puritia mareitia nga whakahau a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, me ana whakaatu, me ana tikanga, i whakahaua mai nei e ia ki a koe.

¹⁷ye do diligently keep the commands of Jehovah your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes which He hath commanded thee,

¹⁸Mahia hoki te mea tika, te mea pai ki te aroaro o Ihowa; kia whiwhi ai koe ki te pai, kia tae atu ai, kia noho ai ki te whenua pai i oatitia e Ihowa ki ou matua,

¹⁸and thou hast done that which is right and good in the eyes of Jehovah, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast gone in and possessed the good land which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers,

¹⁹Kia peia ai ou hoariri katoa i tou aroaro, kia rite ai ki ta Ihowa i ki ai.

¹⁹to drive away all thine enemies from thy presence, as Jehovah hath spoken.

²⁰A ki te ui tau tama ki a koe a mua, ki te mea, Hei aha nga whakaatu, me nga tikanga, me nga whakaritenga, i whakahaua mai nei e Ihowa, e to tatou Atua, ki a koutou?

²⁰`When thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?

²¹Na ka mea atu koe ki tau tama, He pononga matou na Parao i Ihipa; a he kaha te ringa i whakaputaina mai ai matou e Ihowa i Ihipa:

²¹then thou hast said to thy son, Servants we have been to Pharaoh in Egypt, and Jehovah bringeth us out of Egypt by a high hand;

²²A whakakitea mai ana e Ihowa he tohu, he merekara, he nui, he nanakia ki Ihipa, ki a Parao, ki tona whare katoa, me te titiro ano matou;

²²and Jehovah giveth signs and wonders, great and sad, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;

²³A whakaputaina mai ana matou e ia i reira, kia kawea mai ai matou, kia homai ai e ia te whenua i oati ai ia ki o tatou matua.

²³and us He hath brought out thence, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.

²⁴A whakahaua ana tatou e Ihowa kia mahia enei tikanga katoa, kia wehi i a Ihowa, i to tatou Atua, hei pai mo tatou i nga ra katoa, kia whakaorangia ai tatou e ia, kia penei ai i tenei inaianei.

²⁴And Jehovah commandeth us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for good to ourselves all the days, to keep us alive, as [at] this day;

²⁵A hei tika mo tatou ki te mau te mahi i enei whakahau katoa ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua, ki te pera me tana i whakahau ai ki a tatou.

²⁵and righteousness it is for us, when we observe to do all this command before Jehovah our God, as He hath commanded us.
