Deuteronomy 7

1 When the Lord your God takes you into the land where you are going, which is to be your heritage, and has sent out the nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and stronger than you;

E kawe a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe ki te whenua e haere atu nei koe ki reira ki te tango, a ka peia nga iwi maha i tou aroaro, te Hiti, te Kirikahi, te Amori, te Kanaani, te Perihi, te Hiwi, me te Iepuhi, nga iwi e whitu, he nui ake, he kaha ake i a koe;

2 And when the Lord has given them up into your hands and you have overcome them, give them up to complete destruction: make no agreement with them, and have no mercy on them:

A ka tukua ratou e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki tou aroaro, na me patu ratou e koe, me whakamoti rawa ratou: kaua e whakaritea he kawenata ki a ratou, kaua hoki ratou e tohungia.

3 Do not take wives or husbands from among them; do not give your daughters to their sons, or take their daughters for your sons.

Kaua hoki koe e marenarena ki a ratou; ko tau tamahine kaua e tukua atu ma tana tama, ko tana tamahine hoki kaua e tangohia ma tau tama.

4 For through them your sons will be turned from me to the worship of other gods: and the Lord will be moved to wrath against you and send destruction on you quickly.

No te mea ka whakariroia ketia e ia tau tama, kei whai i ahau, kia mahi ai ratou ki nga atua ke: a ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a koutou, ka huna whakarere hoki ia i a koe.

5 But this is what you are to do to them: their altars are to be pulled down and their pillars broken, and their holy trees cut down and their images burned with fire.

Engari me penei ta koutou ki a ratou; ko a ratou aata, wahia, ko a ratou pou, pakarua, ko a ratou Aherimi, tuaina, ko a ratou whakapakoko, tahuna ki te ahi:

6 For you are a holy people to the Lord your God: marked out by the Lord your God to be his special people out of all the nations on the face of the earth.

No te mea he iwi tapu koe na Ihowa, na tou Atua: i whiriwhiria ai koe e e Ihowa, e tou Atua, kia waiho ai hei iwi motuhake mana i nga iwi katoa i te mata o te whenua.

7 The Lord did not give you his love or take you for himself because you were more in number than any other people; for you were the smallest of the nations:

Ehara i te nui no koutou i nga iwi katoa i matenui ai a Ihowa ki a koutou, i whiriwhiri ai i a koutou; he iti rawa hoki koutou i nga iwi katoa;

8 But because of his love for you, and in order to keep his oath to your fathers, the Lord took you out with the strength of his hand, making you free from the prison-house and from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt.

Engari he aroha no Ihowa ki a koutou, he whakamana hoki nana i te oati i oati ai ia ki o koutou matua, i whakaputa mai ai a Ihowa 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 kingi o Ihip a.

9 Be certain, then, that the Lord your God is God; whose faith and mercy are unchanging, who keeps his word through a thousand generations to those who have love for him and keep his laws;

Na kia mohio koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, ko te Atua ia, ko te Atua pono, e pupuri ana i te kawenata, i te atawhai mo te hunga e aroha ana ki a ia, e pupuri ana i ana whakahau a mano noa nga whakatupuranga;

10 Rewarding his haters to their face with destruction; he will have no mercy on his hater, but will give him open punishment.

E hoatu ana ano e ia ki to ratou aroaro te utu mo te hunga e kino ana ki a ia, ara he whakangaro mo ratou: e kore ia e whakaroa ki te tangata e kino ana ki a ia, ka hoatu ano e ia he utu ki tona aroaro.

11 So keep the orders and the laws and the decisions which I give you today and do them.

Ina, puritia nga whakahau, nga tikanga, me nga whakaritenga e whakahau nei ahau ki a koe i tenei ra kia mahia.

12 And it will be, that if you give attention to these decisions and keep and do them, then the Lord will keep his agreement with you and his mercy, as he said in his oath to your fathers.

A tenei ake, ki te rongo koutou ki enei whakaritenga, ki te puritia, ki te mahia, na ka whakamana e Ihowa, e tou Atua, te kawenata ki a koe, me te atawhai i oati ai ia ki ou matua:

13 And he will give you his love, blessing you and increasing you: he will send his blessing on the offspring of your body and the fruit of your land, your grain and your wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flock, in the land which by his oath to your fathers he undertook to give you.

A ka aroha ia ki a koe, ka manaaki i a koe, ka whakanui hoki i a koe, ka manaaki ano hoki i te hua o tou kopu, i te hua o tou oneone, i tau witi, i tau waina, i tau hinu, i nga whanau a au kau, i nga kahui o au hipi, ki te whenua i oati ai ia ki ou matua kia hoatu ki a koe.

14 You will have greater blessings than any other people: no male or female among you or among your cattle will be without offspring.

Ka manaakitia koe, nui atu i nga iwi katoa: e kore e pakoko te tane, te wahine ranei, i roto i a koe, i roto ranei i au kararehe.

15 And the Lord will take away from you all disease, and will not put on you any of the evil diseases of Egypt which you have seen, but will put them on your haters.

Ka tangohia atu ano e Ihowa nga turorotanga katoa, e kore rawa hoki ia e whakapa ki a koe i tetahi o nga mate nanakia o Ihipa, i kite ra koe; engari ka whakapakia atu e ia ki ou hoariri katoa.

16 And you are to send destruction on all the peoples which the Lord your God gives into your hands; have no pity on them, and do not give worship to their gods; for that will be a cause of sin to you.

A ka whakapaua e koe nga iwi katoa e hoatu nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe; kaua tou kanohi e tohu i a ratou: aua ano koe e mahi ki o ratou atua; he rore hoki tena mou.

17 If you say in your hearts, These nations are greater in number than we are: how are we to take their land from them?

Ki te mea koe i roto i tou ngakau, He nui nga iwi nei i ahau; me pehea e taea ai ratou te pei e ahau?

18 Have no fear of them, but keep well in mind what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt;

Kei wehi i a ratou, kia ata mahara ki nga mea i meatia e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a Parao, ki Ihipa katoa;

19 The great punishments which your eyes saw, and the signs and the wonders and the strong hand and the stretched-out arm, by which the Lord your God took you out: so will the Lord your God do to all the peoples who are the cause of your fears.

Ki nga whakamatau nunui i kite ra ou kanohi, ki nga tohu, ki nga merekara, ki te ringa kaha, ki te takakau maro, i tangohia mai ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua: ka peratia e Ihowa, e tou Atua, nga iwi katoa e wehi na koe.

20 And the Lord will send a hornet among them, till all the rest who have kept themselves safe from you in secret places have been cut off.

Ka tukua atu ano e Ihowa, e tou Atua, te horonete ki a ratou, kia moti ra ano nga mea i mahue, me nga mea i ngaro atu i ou kanohi.

21 Have no fear of them: for the Lord your God is with you, a great God greatly to be feared.

Kaua e wehi i a ratou: ta te mea kei waenganui i a koe a Ihowa, tou Atua; he Atua nui ia, e wehingia ana.

22 The Lord your God will send out the nations before you little by little; they are not to be rooted out quickly, for fear that the beasts of the field may be increased overmuch against you.

A ka whakangaromia rikirikitia enei iwi e Ihowa, e tou Atua, i tou aroaro: e kore e ahei i a koe te huna wawe i a ratou, kei hira ake i a koe nga kirehe mohoao o te whenua.

23 But the Lord your God will give them up into your hands, overpowering them till their destruction is complete.

Otiia ka tukua atu ratou e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki tou aroaro, a he nui te hunanga e huna ai ratou e ia, kia ngaro ra ano ratou.

24 He will give their kings into your hands, and you will put their names out of existence under heaven; there is not one of them who will not give way before you, till their destruction is complete.

A ka hoatu e ia o ratou kingi ki tou ringa, a ka whakangaromia e koe o ratou ingoa i raro i te rangi: e kore e tu tetahi tangata ki tou aroaro, kia ngaro ra ano ratou i a koe.

25 The images of their gods are to be burned with fire: have no desire for the gold and silver on them, and do not take it for yourselves, for it will be a danger to you: it is a thing disgusting to the Lord your God:

Ko nga whakapakoko o o ratou Atua me tahu ki te ahi: aua e minamina atu ki te hiriwa, ki te koura ranei e mau ana ki aua mea, kaua hoki e tangohia mou, kei mahangatia koe e ena mea: he mea whakarihariha hoki ena ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua.

26 And you may not take a disgusting thing into your house, and so become cursed with its curse: but keep yourselves from it, turning from it with fear and hate, for it is a cursed thing.

Kaua hoki e maua te mea whakarihariha ki roto ki tou whare; kei kanga koe, kei peratia me taua mea: engari kia tino whakarihariha koe, kia tino anuanu; he mea hoki kua oti te kanga.
