Deuteronomy 16

1 Observe the month of new corn, which is the first of the spring, that thou mayst celebrate the phase to the Lord thy God: because in this month the Lord thy God brought thee out of Egypt by night.

“Tokanga ki he māhina ko ʻApipi, pea fai ai ʻae Lakaatu kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua mei ʻIsipite ʻi he poʻuli ʻi he māhina ko ʻApipi.

2 And thou shalt sacrifice the phase to the Lord thy God, of sheep, and of oxen, in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may dwell there.

Ko ia ke ke feilaulau ʻaki ʻae Lakaatu kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, mei he fanga manu siʻi mo e fanga manu lalahi, ʻi he potu ko ia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ke ʻai ki ai hono huafa.

3 Thou shalt not eat with it leavened bread: seven days shalt thou eat without leaven, the bread of affliction, because thou camest out of Egypt in fear: that thou mayst remember the day of thy coming out of Egypt, all the days of thy life.

‌ʻOua naʻa ke kai mo ia ʻae mā kuo fakalēvani: ke ke kai ia mo e mā taʻefakalēvani ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, ʻio, ʻae mā ʻoe fakamamahi; he naʻa ke haʻu kituʻa mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi he fakatoʻotoʻo: koeʻuhi ke ke manatu ai ki he ʻaho naʻa ke haʻu ai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo moʻui ni.

4 No leaven shall be seen in all thy coasts for seven days, neither shall any of the flesh of that which was sacrificed the first day in the evening remain until morning.

Pea ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ʻiate koe ha mā kuo fakalēvani ʻi ho fonua kotoa pē ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu; pea ko e kakano ʻoku feilaulau ʻaki ʻi he efiafi ʻoe ʻuluaki ʻaho, ʻoua naʻa tuku hono toe ʻi he pō ko ia ki he pongipongi.

5 Thou mayst not immolate the phase in any one of thy cities, which the Lord thy God will give thee:

‌ʻOku ʻikai ngofua ke tāmateʻi ʻae Lakaatu ʻi ho ngaahi lotoʻā kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe:

6 But in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may dwell there: thou shalt immolate the phase in the evening, at the going down of the sun, at which time thou camest out of Egypt.

Ka ʻi he potu ko ia ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ʻai ki ai hono huafa, ko e potu ko ia ke ke feilaulau ʻaki ʻi ai ʻae Lakaatu ʻi he efiafi, ʻi he ʻalu hifo ʻae laʻā, ʻi he feituʻu naʻa ke haʻu ai kituʻa mei ʻIsipite.

7 And thou shalt dress, and eat it in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, and in the morning rising up thou shalt go into thy dwellings.

Pea te ke toʻo ʻo kai ia ʻi he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: pea te ke foki ʻi he pongipongi ʻo ʻalu ki ho ngaahi fale fehikitaki.

8 Six days shalt thou eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day, because it is the assembly of the Lord thy God, thou shalt do no work.

Ko e ʻaho ʻe ono ke ke kai mā taʻefakalēvani: pea ke fai ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻae fakataha māʻoniʻoni kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ʻoua naʻa ke fai ai ha ngāue ʻe taha.

9 Thou shalt number unto thee seven weeks from that day, wherein thou didst put the sickle to the corn.

“Ke ke lau kiate koe ʻae uike ʻe fitu ke ke kamata hoʻo lau ʻae uike ʻe fitu mei he ʻaho ʻoku ke fuofua ʻai ʻae helepiko [ke tuʻusi ]ʻae uite.

10 And thou shalt celebrate the festival of weeks to the Lord thy God, a voluntary oblation of thy hand, which thou shalt offer according to the blessing of the Lord thy God.

Pea ke tauhi ʻae kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi uike kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae feilaulau ʻoe meʻa loto lelei mei ho nima, ʻaia ke ke ʻatu ʻo fakatatau ki he tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua:

11 And thou shalt feast before the Lord thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger and the fatherless, and the widow, who abide with you: in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may dwell there:

Pea te ke fiefia ko e ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻa koe, mo ho foha, mo ho ʻofefine, mo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, mo hoʻo kaunanga, mo e Livai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi hoʻo kolo, mo e muli, mo e tamai mate, mo e uitou, ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻi he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ʻai ki ai hono huafa.

12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in Egypt: and thou shalt keep and do the things that are commanded.

Pea te ke manatu naʻa ke pōpula koe ʻi ʻIsipite: pea te ke tokanga mo fai ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ko eni.

13 Thou shalt celebrate the solemnity also of tabernacles seven days, when thou hast gathered in thy fruit of the barnfloor and of the winepress.

“Ke ke tokanga ki he kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, ʻi he hili hoʻo tānaki hoʻo uite mo hoʻo uaine.

14 And thou shalt make merry in thy festival time, thou, thy son, and thy daughter, thy manservant, and thy maidservant, the Levite also and the stranger, and the fatherless and the widow that are within thy gates.

Pea te ke fiefia ʻi hoʻo kātoanga, ʻa koe, mo ho foha, mo ho ʻofefine, mo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, mo hoʻo kaunanga, mo e Livai, mo e muli, mo e tamai mate, mo e fefine paea, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ho lotoʻā.

15 Seven days shalt thou celebrate feasts to the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall choose: and the Lord thy God will bless thee in all thy fruits, and in every work of thy hands, and thou shalt be in joy.

Ke ke tauhi ʻae kātoanga māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova: koeʻuhi ʻe tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi hoʻo tupu meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻi he ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻa ho nima, ko ia ke ke fiefia moʻoni ai.

16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of unleavened bread, in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles. No one shall appear with his hands empty before the Lord:

“ʻE liunga tolu ʻi he taʻu ʻae fakahā ʻa hoʻo kakai tangata kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe ia; ʻi ho kātoanga ʻoe mā taʻefakalēvani, pea ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi uike, pea ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki: pea ʻoua naʻa mou haʻu mola pe ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova:

17 But every one shall offer according to what he hath, according to the blessing of the Lord his God, which he shall give him.

‌ʻE foaki ʻe he tangata kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene mafai, ʻo taau mo e tāpuaki ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaia kuo ne foaki kiate koe.

18 Thou shalt appoint judges and magistrates in all thy gates, which the Lord thy God shall give thee, in all thy tribes: that they may judge the people with just judgment,

“Ke ke fakanofo ʻae kau fakamaau mo e kau matāpule kiate koe ʻi hoʻo ngaahi kolo kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku tuku kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻi ho ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē: pea kenau fakamaau ʻae kakai ʻi he fakamaau angatonu.

19 And not go aside to either part. Thou shalt not accept person nor gifts: for gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and change the words of the just.

‌ʻOua naʻa ke fakahalaʻi ʻae fakamaau; ʻoua naʻa ke filifilimānako ki he tangata, pe maʻu ha tukungoue: he ʻoku fakakui ʻe he meʻa foaki ʻae mata ʻoe poto, mo ne fakahalaʻi ʻae lea ʻae angatonu.

20 Thou shalt follow justly after that which is just: that thou mayst live and possess the land, which the Lord thy God shall give thee.

Ko ia ʻoku mātuʻaki angatonu ke ke muimui ki ai, koeʻuhi ke ke moʻui ai koe, pea maʻu ʻae fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe.

21 Thou shalt plant no grove, nor any tree near the altar of the Lord thy God:

“ʻE ʻikai te ke tō ʻe koe ha ngaahi ʻakau ke ofi ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia te ke ngaohi kiate koe.

22 Neither shalt thou make nor set up to thyself a statue: which things the Lord thy God hateth.

Pea ʻe ʻikai te ke fokotuʻu kiate koe ha meʻa fakatātā; ʻaia ʻoku fehiʻa ki ai ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
