Deuteronomy 10

1 “At that time, the Lord said to me: ‘Hew for yourself two tablets of stone, like those that were before, and ascend to me on the mountain. And you shall make an ark of wood.

“Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe Sihova kiate au ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ‘Ke ke tā mai ʻae ongo maka lafalafa ʻo hangē ko e ʻuluaki, pea ke ʻalu hake kiate au ki he moʻunga, pea ke ngaohi kiate koe ha puha ʻakau.’

2 And I will write on the tablets the words which were on those that you broke before, and you shall place them in the ark.’

Pea te u tohi ki he ongo maka lafalafa ʻae ngaahi lea naʻe ʻi he ʻuluaki maka ʻaia naʻa ke maumauʻi, pea te ke ʻai ia ki he puha.

3 And so, I made an ark of setim wood. And when I had hewn two tablets of stone like the former, I ascended onto the mountain, having them in my hands.

Pea ne u ngaohi ʻae puha ʻoe ʻakau ko e sitimi, peau tātā ʻae ongo maka lafalafa ʻo hangē ko e ʻuluaki, pea u ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga, naʻe ʻi hoku nima ʻae ongo maka lafalafa.

4 And he wrote on the tablets, according to that which he had written before, the ten words, which the Lord spoke to you on the mountain from the midst of fire, when the people were assembled. And he gave them to me.

Pea naʻe tohi ʻe ia ki he ongo maka lafalafa ʻo fakatatau ki he ʻuluaki tohi, ko e fekau ʻe hongofulu, ʻaia naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu ʻi he moʻunga mei he lotolotonga ʻoe afi ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe fakataha: pea naʻe tuku mai ia ʻe Sihova kiate au.

5 And returning from the mountain, I descended and placed the tablets in the ark, which I had made, and they are still there even now, just as the Lord instructed me.

Pea naʻaku tafoki au ʻo ʻalu hifo mei he moʻunga, peau ʻai ʻae ongo maka lafalafa ki he puha naʻaku ngaohi; pea ʻoku ʻi ai ia, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate au.

6 Then the sons of Israel moved their camp, from Beeroth among the sons of Jaakan, into Moserah, where Aaron died and was buried, and where his son Eleazar was installed in the priesthood in his place.

“Pea naʻe hiki ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻa honau fononga mei Piheloti ʻoe fānau ʻa Sekani ki Mosela: pea naʻe pekia ai ʻa ʻElone, pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi ai; pea naʻe tongia ia ʻe ʻEliesa ko hono foha ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.

7 From there, they went into Gudgodah. From that place, they set out and camped at Jotbathah, in a land of waters and torrents.

Pea naʻa nau fononga mei ai ki Kotikota; pea mei Kotikota ki Sotipati, ko e fonua ʻoe ngaahi vaitafe.

8 At that time, he separated the tribe of Levi, so that he would carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and stand before him in the ministry, and speak blessings in his name, even to the present day.

“Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe vaheʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae faʻahinga ʻo Livai, ke haʻamo ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo Sihova, ke tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ke tauhi kiate ia, mo tāpuakiʻi ʻi hono huafa, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.

9 As a result, Levi has no portion or possession with his brothers. For the Lord himself is his possession, just as the Lord your God promised him.

Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ai ha tufakanga, pe ha tofiʻa ʻe Livai fakataha mo hono kāinga; ko hono tofiʻa ʻoʻona ʻa Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e talaʻofa kiate ia ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

10 Then I stood on the mountain, as before, for forty days and nights. And the Lord heeded me at this time also, and he was not willing to destroy you.

Pea ne u tatali ʻi he moʻunga, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu mo e pō ʻe fāngofulu, ʻo hangē ko e fuofua fai; pea naʻe tokanga kiate au ʻa Sihova ʻi he kuonga foki ko ia, pea naʻe ʻikai fie fakaʻauha ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova.

11 And he said to me: ‘Go forth and walk before the people, so that they may enter and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers that I would deliver to them.’

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, Tuʻu hake, ʻo fononga atu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, koeʻuhi kenau ʻalu atu ʻo maʻu ʻae fonua, ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ai ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai ke foaki kiate kinautolu.

12 And now, O Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? Only that you fear the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and love him, and serve the Lord your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul,

“Pea ko eni, ʻE ʻIsileli, ko e hā ia ʻoku fekau ai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe, ka ke manavahē kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke ʻalu ʻi hono ngaahi hala kotoa pē, pea ke ʻofa kiate ia, pea ke tauhi ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ho loto kotoa pea mo ho laumālie kotoa.

13 and that you keep the commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies, which I am instructing to you this day, so that it may be well with you.

Ke tauhi ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova, mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni ke ke lelei ai?

14 Lo, heaven belongs to the Lord your God, and the heaven of heaven, and the earth, and all the things that are within these.

Vakai, ko e langi mo e langi ʻoe ngaahi langi ʻoku ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko māmani foki, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai.

15 Now the Lord was closely joined to your fathers, and he loved them, and he chose their offspring after them, that is, you yourselves, out of all the nations, just as is being proven today.

Ka naʻe finangalo lelei ʻa Sihova ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai ke ʻofa kiate kinautolu, pea naʻa ne fili honau hako kimui ʻiate kinautolu, ʻio, ko kimoutolu ʻi he kakai kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko ia he ʻaho ni.

16 Therefore, circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and no longer stiffen your neck.

Ko ia ke mou kamuʻi ʻae kili ʻo homou loto, pea ʻoua te mou kei kia kekeva.

17 For the Lord your God himself is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, a God great and powerful and terrible, who favors no person and accepts no bribe.

He ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua, mo e ʻEiki ia ʻoe ngaahi ʻeiki, ko e ʻOtua lāngilangi, ko e māfimafi, mo fakailifia, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai filifilimānako ki he kakai, pe maʻu ha totongi:

18 He accomplishes judgment for the orphan and the widow. He loves the sojourner, and he gives him food as well as clothing.

‌ʻOku ne fakamaau ʻe ia maʻae tamai mate mo e fefine paea, ʻoku ʻofa ia ki he muli, ʻo ne foaki ki ai ʻae meʻakai mo e kofu.

19 Therefore, you also should love sojourners, for you also were new arrivals in the land of Egypt.

Ko ia mou ʻofa foki ki he muli: he naʻa mou nofo ko e kau muli ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite.

20 You shall fear the Lord your God, and him alone shall you serve. You shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.

Ke ke manavahē kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua; ko ia pe ke ke tauhi, pea ke pikitai kiate ia pe, pea fuakava ki hono huafa.

21 He is your praise and your God. He has done for you these great and terrible things, which your eyes have seen.

Ko ho vikivikiʻanga ia, pea ko ho ʻOtua ia, ʻaia kuo ne fai maʻau ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi mo fakamanavahē, ʻaia kuo mamata ki ai ʻa ho mata.

22 As seventy souls, your fathers descended into Egypt. And now, behold, the Lord your God has multiplied you to be like the stars of heaven.”

Naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa hoʻo ngaahi tamai ki ʻIsipite ko e kakai ʻe toko fitungofulu; pea ko eni kuo ngaohi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke tatau mo e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi homou tokolahi.
