¹If there arise in the midst of you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he give you a sign or a wonder,

¹¶ Ki te whakatika ake i roto i a koutou he poropiti, he moemoea ranei, a ka homai e ia ki a koe he tohu, he merekara ranei,

²and the sign or the wonder come to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, “Let us go after other gods” (which you have not known) “and let us serve them”;

²A ka puta mai te tohu, te merekara ranei, i korero ai ia ki a koe, i mea ai, Tatou ka whai ki nga atua ke, kihai nei i mohiotia e koe, ka mahi atu hoki ki a ratou;

³you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams: for Yahweh your God proves you, to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

³Kei whakarongo koe ki nga korero a taua poropiti, a taua tangata moemoea ranei: e whakamatautau ana hoki a Ihowa, to koutou Atua, i a koutou, kia mohio ai e whakapaua ranei o koutou ngakau katoa, o koutou wairua katoa ki te aroha ki a Ihowa, ki t o koutou Atua.

⁴You shall walk after Yahweh your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and you shall serve him, and cling to him.

⁴Me haere koutou i muri i a Ihowa, i to koutou Atua, ko ia ta koutou e wehi ai, me pupuri ana whakahau, me whakarongo hoki ki tona reo, me mahi ano ki a ia, me awhi ki a ia.

⁵That prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to draw you aside out of the way which Yahweh your God commanded you to walk in. So you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.

⁵A ko taua poropiti, ko taua tangata moemoea ranei, me whakamate; mona i takahi i a Ihowa, i to koutou Atua, i tangohia mai ai koutou i te whenua o Ihipa, i hokona ai koe i roto i te whare pononga, kia takina koe ki wahi ke i te huarahi i whakahau ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, ki a koe kia haerea. Penei ka whakakorea e koe te kino i roto i a koe.

⁶If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend, who is as your own soul, entice you secretly, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods,” which you have not known, you, nor your fathers;

⁶¶ Ki te whakawaia pukutia koe e tou teina, e te tama ranei a tou whaea, e tau tama ranei, e tau tamahine ranei, e tou hoa wahine ranei i tou uma, e tou hoa ranei e rite ana ki tou ngakau, ki te mea ia, Tatou ka haere, ka mahi ki nga atua ke, kihai nei koe i mohio, a koe, ou matua ranei;

⁷of the gods of the peoples who are around you, near to you, or far off from you, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth;

⁷Ki etahi o nga atua o nga iwi i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha, e tata ana ki a koe, kei tawhiti atu ranei i a koe, i tetahi pito o te whenua puta noa ki tetahi pito o te whenua;

⁸you shall not consent to him, nor listen to him; neither shall your eye pity him, neither shall you spare, neither shall you conceal him:

⁸Kei whakaae koe ki a ia, kei whakarongo ranei ki a ia; kaua ano hoki tou kanohi e aroha ki a ia, kaua e tohu i a ia, kaua hoki e huna i a ia:

⁹but you shall surely kill him; your hand shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

⁹Engari patua rawatia kia mate; ko tou ringa te pa wawe atu ki a ia hei whakamate i a ia, muri iho ko te ringa o te iwi katoa.

¹⁰You shall stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw you away from Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

¹⁰A me aki ia e koe ki te kohatu, kia mate; mona i whai kia whakapeautia koe i a Ihowa, i tou Atua, i tangohia mai ai koe i te whenua o Ihipa, i te whare pononga.

¹¹All Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not do any more such wickedness as this is in the midst of you.

¹¹A ka rongo a Iharaira katoa, ka wehi, e kore hoki e mahi i te mea kino pena i tena i roto i a koutou i muri iho.

¹²If you shall hear tell concerning one of your cities, which Yahweh your God gives you to dwell there, saying,

¹²¶ Ki te rongo korero koe mo tetahi o ou pa, e homai e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe hei nohoanga, e korerotia ana,

¹³Certain base fellows are gone out from the midst of you, and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods,” which you have not known;

¹³Kua haere atu etahi, he tama na Periara, i roto i a koe, kua whakapeau ke hoki i nga tangata o to ratou pa, kua mea, Tatou ka haere, ka mahi atu ki nga atua ke, kihai nei i mohiotia e koutou;

¹⁴then you shall inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in the midst of you,

¹⁴Na me rapu e koe, me ore atu, me te ui marie ano; na, ki te mea he pono, he tuturu rawa te korero, kei te mahia tena mea whakarihariha i roto i a koe;

¹⁵you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein and its livestock, with the edge of the sword.

¹⁵Tukitukia rawatia nga tangata o taua pa ki te mata o te hoari, whakamotitia rawatia a reira, me nga mea katoa i roto, me ana kararehe, ki te mata o te hoari.

¹⁶You shall gather all its spoil into the midst of its street, and shall burn with fire the city, and all its spoil every whit, to Yahweh your God: and it shall be a heap forever; it shall not be built again.

¹⁶Ko nga taonga katoa hoki o reira me hoki ki waenganui o tona huarahi, ka tahu ai koe i te pa, me ona taonga katoa, ki te ahi, a rupeke noa, hei mea ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua: me waiho hoki a reira hei puranga mo ake tonu atu; kaua e hanga a muri a ke nei.

¹⁷Nothing of the devoted thing shall cling to your hand; that Yahweh may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show you mercy, and have compassion on you, and multiply you, as he has sworn to your fathers;

¹⁷Kei piri hoki ki tou ringa tetahi wahi o te mea kua oti nei te kanga: kia tahuri mai ai a Ihowa i te muranga o tona riri, ka whakaputa mai he atawhai ki a koe, kia atawhai ai hoki ia i a koe, kia whakanui ai i a koe, kia rite ai ki tana i oati a i ki ou matua;

¹⁸when you shall listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, to keep all his commandments which I command you this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh your God.

¹⁸Ina whakarongo koe ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ina pupuri i ana whakahau katoa, e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koe i tenei ra, kia mahi i te mea e tika ana ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tou Atua.
