Deuteronomy 5

1 And Moses summoned all of Israel, and he said to them: “Listen, O Israel, to the ceremonies and judgments, which I am speaking to your ears on this day. Learn them, and fulfill them in deed.

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ke haʻu ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Fanongo, ʻE ʻIsileli, ki he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo e ngaahi fakamaau ʻaia ʻoku ou lea ʻaki ʻi homou telinga he ʻaho ni, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ia, pea tauhi, pea fai ki ai.

2 The Lord our God formed a covenant with us at Horeb.

Naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ʻae fuakava mo kitautolu ʻi Holepi.

3 He did not make the covenant with our fathers, but with us, who are alive and in the present time.

Naʻe ʻikai fai ʻe Sihova ʻae fuakava ni mo ʻetau ngaahi tamai, ka ko kitautolu, ʻio, ʻakitautolu ʻoku moʻui kotoa pē ʻi heni he ʻaho ni.

4 He spoke to us face to face on the mountain, from the midst of fire.

Naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu ʻae mata ki he mata ʻi he moʻunga mei he loto afi;

5 I was the mediator, for I was in the middle between the Lord and you, at that time, to announce his words to you. For you were afraid of the fire, and so you did not ascend to the mountain. And he said:

(Naʻa ku tuʻu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Sihova mo kimoutolu ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ke fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova; he naʻa mou manavahē koeʻuhi ko e afi, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga; ) pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia;

6 ‘I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude.

“Ko au ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ‘Naʻaku ʻomi koe kituʻa mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he fale fakapōpula.

7 You shall not have strange gods in my sight.

“ʻOua naʻa ke maʻu mo au ha ʻotua kehe ʻi hoku ʻao.

8 You shall not make for yourself a graven image, nor the likeness of anything, which is in heaven above, or on earth below, or which abides in the waters under the earth.

“ʻOua naʻa ke ngaohi kiate koe ha fakatātā, pe ha meʻa fakatatau ʻe taha ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi he langi ʻi ʻolunga, pe ha meʻa ʻoku ʻi he fonua ʻi lalo ni, pe ki ha meʻa ʻoku ʻi he vai ʻi he lalo fonua:

9 You shall not adore and you shall not worship these things. For I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, repaying the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generation to those who hate me,

“ʻOua naʻa ke punou hifo koe ki ai, pe tauhi ki ai: he ko au Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua fuaʻa au, ʻoku ou totongi ʻae hia ʻae ngaahi tamai ki he fānau ʻo aʻu ki hono tolu mo hono fā ʻoe toʻutangata ʻokinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au,

10 and acting with mercy in thousands of ways to those who love me and keep my precepts.

Pea u fakahā ʻae ʻaloʻofa ki he ngaahi toko afe ʻokinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate au mo tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau.

11 You shall not use the name of the Lord your God in vain. For he will not go unpunished who takes up his name over an unimportant matter.

“ʻOua naʻa ke takuanoa ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai lau ʻe Sihova ko e taʻehalaia ia ʻaia ʻoku ne takuanoa hono huafa.

12 Observe the day of the Sabbath, so that you may sanctify it, just as the Lord your God has instructed you.

“Tauhi ʻae ʻaho Sāpate ke fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ia, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe.

13 For six days, you shall labor and do all your work.

Ko e ʻaho ʻe ono ke ke ngāue ai, ʻo fai ai hoʻo ngāue kotoa pē:

14 The seventh is the day of the Sabbath, that is, the rest of the Lord your God. You shall not do any work in it, nor shall your son, nor daughter, nor man servant, nor woman servant, nor ox, nor donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor the sojourner who is within your gates, so that your men and woman servants may rest, just as you do.

Ka ko hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ko e Sāpate ia ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua; ʻoua naʻa ke fai ʻi ai ha ngāue ʻe taha, ʻa koe, pe ko ho foha, pe ko ho ʻofefine, ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pe ko hoʻo kaunanga, pe ko hoʻo pulu, pe ko hoʻo ʻasi, pe ha manu ʻe taha, pe ko e muli ʻoku nofo ʻi ho lotoʻā: koeʻuhi ke mālōlō mo koe ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki mo hoʻo kaunanga.

15 Remember that you also were servants in Egypt, and the Lord your God led you away from that place with a strong hand and an outstretched arm. Because of this, he has instructed you so that you would observe the Sabbath day.

Pea ke manatu naʻa ke nofo ko e tamaioʻeiki koe ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea naʻe ʻomi koe mei ai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻi he nima māfimafi mo e nima kuo mafao: ko ia kuo fekau ai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe, ke ke tauhi ʻae ʻaho Sāpate.

16 Honor your father and mother, just as the Lord your God has instructed you, so that you may live a long time, and so that it may be well with you in the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.

“Fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe; koeʻuhi ke fuoloa ho ngaahi ʻaho, pea koeʻuhi ke hoko ai ʻae lelei kiate koe, ʻi he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe.

17 You shall not murder.

“ʻOua naʻa ke fakapō.

18 And you shall not commit adultery.

“Pea ʻoua naʻa ke tono fefine.

19 And you shall not commit theft.

“Pea ʻoua naʻa ke kaihaʻa.

20 Neither shall you speak false testimony against your neighbor.

“Pea ʻoua naʻa ke tukuakiʻi ʻa ho kaungāʻapi.

21 You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his house, nor his field, nor his man servant, nor his woman servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything out of all that is his.’

“‘Pea ʻoua naʻa ke holi ki he uaifi ʻo ho kaungāʻapi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke manumanu ki he fale ʻo ho kaungāʻapi, pe ki heʻene ngoue, pe ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, pe ki heʻene kaunanga, pe ki heʻene pulu, pe ki heʻene ʻasi, pe ki ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku ʻa ho kaungāʻapi.’

22 The Lord spoke these words to the entire multitude of you on the mountain, from the midst of the fire and the cloud and the darkness, with a loud voice, adding nothing more. And he wrote them on two tablets of stone, which he delivered to me.

“Naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni ʻe Sihova ki hoʻomou fakataha kotoa pē ʻi he moʻunga mei he loto afi mo e ʻao, pea mo e poʻuli matolu, ʻi he leʻo lahi: pea naʻe ʻikai fakalahi ia. Pea naʻe tohi ia ʻi he maka lafalafa ʻe ua, ʻo ne tuku mai ia kiate au.

23 Then, after you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, and you saw the mountain burning, you approached me, all you leaders of the tribes and those greater by birth. And you said:

“Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ‘ʻI hoʻomou ongoʻi ʻae leʻo mei he lotolotonga ʻoe fakapoʻuli, (he naʻe vela ʻae moʻunga ʻi he afi, ) naʻa mou haʻu ʻo ofi kiate au, ʻio ʻae houʻeiki ʻo homou ngaahi faʻahinga, mo hoʻomou kau mātuʻa;

24 ‘Behold, the Lord our God has revealed to us his majesty and his greatness. We have heard his voice from the midst of fire, and we have proven today that, though God is speaking with man, man has lived.

Pea naʻa mou pehē, Vakai, kuo fakahā kiate kimautolu ʻe Sihova ko homau ʻOtua hono nāunau mo hono lahi, pea kuo mau ongoʻi hono leʻo mei he loto afi: kuo mau mamata he ʻaho ni ʻoku alea ʻae ʻOtua mo e tangata, pea ʻoku moʻui ia.

25 Therefore, why should we die, and why should this very great fire devour us? For if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any longer, we will die.

Pea ko eni, ko e hā te mau mate ai? He ko e afi lahi ni te ne fakaʻauha ʻakimautolu: kapau te mau toe fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, te mau toki mate ai.

26 What is all flesh, that it would hear the voice of the living God, who speaks from the midst of fire, just as we have heard it, and be able to live?

He ko hai ia ʻi he kakai kotoa pē, kuo ne fanongo ki he leʻo ʻoe ʻOtua moʻui ʻoku folofola mei he loto afi, ʻo hangē ko kimautolu, pea kei moʻui?

27 Instead, you should approach and listen to all the things that the Lord our God will say to you. And you will speak to us, and we will listen and do these things.’

Ke ke ʻalu koe ke ofi, pea fanongo ki he folofola kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua: pea ke lea ʻaki ʻe koe kiate kimautolu ʻaia kotoa pē ʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua kiate koe: pea te mau fanongo, pea fai ki ai.’

28 But when the Lord had heard this, he said to me: ‘I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they spoke to you. All this, they have spoken well.

Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae leʻo ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi lea, ʻi hoʻomou lea kiate au; pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, ‘Kuo u fanongo ki he leʻo ʻoe ngaahi lea ʻae kakai ni, ʻaia kuo nau lea ʻaki kiate koe: kuo lelei kotoa pē ʻae lea kuo nau lea ʻaki.

29 Who will grant to them to have such a mind, so that they may fear me, and may keep all my commandments at all times, so that it may be well with them and with their sons forever?

‌ʻAmusiaange ʻeau kuo ʻiate kinautolu ha loto pehē, kenau manavahē kiate au, pea tauhi maʻuaipē ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fekau, koeʻuhi ke hoko ai ʻae lelei kiate kinautolu, pea ki heʻenau fānau ʻo taʻengata!

30 Go and say to them: Return to your tents.

‌ʻAlu ʻo tala kiate kinautolu, Mou toe ʻalu ki homou ngaahi fale fehikitaki.

31 But as for you, stand here with me, and I will speak to you all my commandments and ceremonies, as well as judgments. These, you shall teach them, so that they may do them in the land, which I will give to them as a possession.

Ka ko koe, ke ke tuʻu ʻi heni ʻo ofi kiate au, pea te u fakahā kiate koe ʻae ngaahi fekau kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo e ngaahi fakamaau, ʻaia te ke ako ʻaki kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi kenau fai ki ai ʻi he fonua ʻaia ʻoku ou foaki kiate kinautolu kenau maʻu.’

32 And so, keep and do the things which the Lord God has commanded you. You shall not turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left.

Ko ia ke mou tokanga ʻo fai ia ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu: ʻoua naʻa mou tafoki ki he nima toʻomataʻu pe ki he toʻohema.

33 For you shall walk in the way that the Lord your God has instructed, so that you may live, and it may be well with you, and your days may be extended in the land of your possession.’”

Te mou ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi hala kotoa pē ʻaia kuo fekau ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke mou moʻui, pea mou lelei, pea ke mou fakatolonga homou ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he fonua te mou maʻu.
