Teutalonome 29

1 Pea ko eni ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe fuakava, ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese ke fai mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he fonua ʻo Moape, ka ʻoku kehe ʻae fuakava ʻaia naʻa ne fai mo kinautolu ʻi Holepi.

These [are] the words of the covenant, which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made with them in Choreb.

2 Pea naʻe ui ʻe Mōsese ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mou mamata ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻi homou ʻao ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite kia Felo, pea ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē, pea ki hono fonua kotoa pē.

And Moses called all the sons of Israel and said to them, You have seen all things that the Lord did in the land of Egypt before you to Pharao and his servants, and all his land;

3 Ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻahiʻahi ʻaia naʻe mamata ki ai ʻa ho mata, ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga, mo e ngaahi mana lahi ko ia:

the great temptations which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders.

4 Ka ʻoku teʻeki ai foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻe Sihova ʻae loto ke ʻilo, mo e mata ke mamata, mo e telinga ke ongo, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.

Yet the Lord God has not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, until this day.

5 Pea kuo u tataki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ʻi he toafa ʻoku teʻeki ai fakaʻaʻau ʻo motuʻa homou ngaahi kofu, pea ʻoku ʻikai hoko ʻo motuʻa ho topuvaʻe ʻi ho vaʻe.

And he led you forty years in the wilderness; your garments did not grow old, and your sandals were not worn away off your feet.

6 Kuo ʻikai te mou kai mā, pea kuo ʻikai te mou inu uaine pe ha inu mālohi: koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.

You did not eat bread, you did not drink wine or strong drink, that you might know that I [am] the Lord your God.

7 Pea ʻi hoʻomou hoko ki he potu ni, naʻe haʻu ʻa Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻo Hesiponi, mo Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani, ʻo tuʻu hake ko hotau tauʻi, pea naʻa tau teʻia ʻakinaua:

And you came as far as this place; and there came forth Seon king of Esebon, and Og king of Basan, to meet us in war.

8 Pea naʻa tau maʻu hona fonua, pea naʻe foaki ia ko e tofiʻa ki he faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni, mo e faʻahinga ʻo Kata, pea ki hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase.

And we struck them and took their land, and I gave it for an inheritance to Ruben and Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasse.

9 Ko ia mou tauhi ʻae ngaahi lea ʻae fuakava ni, ʻo fai ki ai, koeʻuhi ke mou monūʻia ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku mou fai.

And you shall take heed to do all the words of this covenant, that you may understand all things that you shall do.

10 “ʻOku mou tutuʻu kotoa pē he ʻaho ni ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtua; ko e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo homou ngaahi faʻahinga, mo homou kau mātuʻa, mo homou kau matāpule, pea mo e kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli,

You all stand today before the Lord your God, the heads of your tribes, and your elders, and your judges, and your officers, every man of Israel,

11 Mo hoʻomou ngaahi fānau siʻi, mo homou ngaahi uaifi, mo e muli ʻoku ʻi ho ʻapitanga, ʻo fai mei he tangata ʻoku tā ʻa hoʻo fefie ʻo aʻu kiate ia ʻoku ʻutu ʻa hoʻo vai:

your wives, and your children, and the stranger who is in the midst of your camp, from your hewer of wood even to your drawer of water,

12 Koeʻuhi ke ke fai ha fuakava mo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea ki heʻene folofola fakapapau, ʻaia ʻoku fai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua mo koe he ʻaho ni:

that you should enter into the covenant of the Lord your God and into his oaths, as many as the Lord your God appoints you this day;

13 Koeʻuhi ke ne fokotuʻumaʻu koe he ʻaho ni ko e kakai moʻona, pea ke hoko ia kiate koe koe ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola kiate koe, pea hangē ko ʻene fuakava ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai, kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo Sēkope.

that he may appoint you to himself for a people, and he shall be your God, as he said to you, and as he sware to your fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob.

14 Pea ʻoku ʻikai ko ʻeku fai ʻae fuakava ko eni, mo e lea fakapapau ni kiate kimoutolu pe;

And I do not appoint to you alone this covenant and this oath;

15 Ka kiate ia ʻoku tau tutuʻu mo ia he ʻaho ni ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, pea mo ia foki ʻoku ʻikai ʻi heni mo kitautolu he ʻaho ni:

but to those also who are here with you today before the Lord your God, and to those who are not here with you today.

16 (He ʻoku mou ʻilo pe naʻe fēfē ʻetau nofo ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite; pea mo ʻetau laka mai ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaia naʻa mou haʻu ʻo ofi ki ai;

For you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, how we came through the midst of the nations through whom you came.

17 Pea kuo mou mamata ki heʻenau ngaahi meʻa kovi, mo honau ngaahi ʻotua loi, ko e ʻakau, mo e maka, mo e siliva, mo e koula, ʻaia naʻe ʻiate kinautolu: )

And you saw their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which are amongst them.

18 Telia naʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ha tangata, pe ha fefine, pe ha fale, pe ha faʻahinga, ʻoku tafoki hono loto he ʻaho ni meia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ke ʻalu ʻo tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ni; telia naʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae aka ʻoku fua ʻaki ʻae ʻahu mo e kona;

Lest there be amongst you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart has turned aside from the Lord your God, having gone to serve the gods of these nations; lest there be in you a root springing up with gall and bitterness.

19 Pea ʻe hoko ai ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe fakamalaʻia ni, te ne mahalo lelei kiate ia ʻi hono loto, ʻo pehē, Te u maʻu pe ʻae fiemālie, neongo ʻeku ʻeveʻeva pe ʻi he filioʻi ʻa hoku loto, ke fakalahi ʻaki ʻae kona ki he fieinu:

And it shall be if one shall hear the words of this curse, and shall flatter himself in his heart, saying, Let good happen to me, for I will walk in the error of my heart, lest the sinner destroy the guiltless with [him]:

20 ‌ʻE ʻikai mamae kiate ia ʻa Sihova, ka ʻe vela ʻae houhau mo e fuaʻa ʻo Sihova ki he tangata ko ia, pea ko e ngaahi malaʻia kotoa pē ʻaia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ni, ʻe tuku tonu kiate ia, pea ʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Sihova hono hingoa mei he lalo langi.

God shall by no means be willing to pardon him, but then the wrath of the Lord and his jealousy shall flame out against that man; and all the curses of this covenant shall attach themselves to him, which are written in this book, and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven.

21 Pea ʻe vaheʻi ia ʻe Sihova ki he kovi mei he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi malaʻia ʻoe fuakava ʻaia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ni ʻoe fono:

And the Lord shall separate that man for evil of all the children of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in the book of this law.

22 Ko ia, ko e toʻutangata ʻamui ʻi hoʻomou fānau ʻaia ʻe tupu hake kimui ʻiate kimoutolu, pea mo e muli ʻaia ʻe haʻu mei he fonua mamaʻo, tenau pehē, ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he ngaahi tautea ʻoe fonua ko ia, mo e ngaahi mahaki ʻaia kuo tuku ki ai ʻe Sihova;

And another generation shall say—even your sons who shall rise up after you, and the stranger who shall come from a land afar off, and shall see the plagues of that land and their diseases, which the Lord has sent upon it,

23 Pea kuo hoko ʻae fonua kotoa pē ko e sulifa, mo e māsima, mo e vela, ʻoku ʻikai tūtuuʻi ia pe fua, pe tupu ha mohuku ʻi ai, ka ʻoku hangē ko e fulihi ʻo Sotoma, mo Komola, ko ʻAtima, mo Sipoimi, ʻaia naʻe fulihi ʻe Sihova ʻi heʻene tuputāmaki, pea ʻi hono houhau lahi:

brimstone and burning salt, (the whole land shall not be sown, neither shall any green thing spring, nor rise upon it, as Sodom and Gomorrha were overthrown, Adama and Seboim, which the Lord overthrew in his wrath and anger: )—

24 ‌ʻIo, ʻe lea ʻae puleʻanga kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e hā kuo fai pehē ai ʻa Sihova ki he fonua ni? Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe kakaha ʻo hono houhau lahi ni?’

and all the nations shall say, Why has the Lord done thus to this land? what [is] this great fierceness of anger?

25 Pea ʻe pehē ʻe he kakai, ‘Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau liʻaki ʻae fuakava ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻaia naʻe fai mo kinautolu ʻi heʻene ʻomi ʻakinautolu kituaʻā mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite:

And [men] shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, the things which he appointed to their fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt:

26 He naʻa nau ʻalu ʻo tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, pea lotu ki ai, ʻae ngaahi ʻotua naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne foaki kiate kinautolu:

and they went and served other gods, which they knew not, neither did he assign [them] to them.

27 Pea naʻe tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ki he fonua ni, ke fakahoko ki ai ʻae ngaahi malaʻia kotoa pē kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ni:

And the Lord was exceedingly angry with that land to bring upon it according to all the curses which are written in the book of this law.

28 Pea naʻe taʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova mei honau fonua ʻi he houhau, pea ʻi he houhau lahi, pea ʻi he tuputāmaki lahi, pea ne lī ʻakinautolu ki he fonua kehe, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai he ʻaho ni.’

And the Lord removed them from their land in anger, and wrath, and very great indignation, and cast them out into another land as at present.

29 Ko e ngaahi meʻa lilo ʻoku ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua: ka ko e ngaahi meʻa kuo fakahā ʻoku ʻatautolu ia mo ʻetau fānau ʻo taʻengata, koeʻuhi ketau fai ʻae lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni.

The secret things [belong] to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed [belong] to us and to our children for ever, to do all the words of this law.
