Tiuteronomi 8

1 Kia mahara kia mahia nga whakahau katoa e whakahaua nei e ahau i tenei ra, kia ora ai koutou, kia tini ai, kia tae ai hoki, kia whiwhi ai ki te whenua i oati ra a Ihowa ki a koutou matua.

All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers.

2 Kia mahara hoki ki te ara katoa i arahi ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe i te koraha, i enei tau e wha tekau, kia iro ai koe, hei whakamatautau hoki i a koe, kia mohiotia ai nga aha noa i roto i tou ngakau, ka pupuri ranei koe i ana whakahau, kahore ranei.

And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, [and] to prove thee, to know what [was] in thy heart, whether thou wouldst keep his commandments, or not.

3 A whakawhiua ana koe e ia, whakamatea ana ki te kai, whangaia ana ki te mana, kihai nei i mohiotia e koe, kihai ano i mohiotia e ou matua; kia whakamohio ai ia i a koe e kore te tangata e ora i te taro kau, engari ma nga kupu katoa e puta mai ana i te mangai o Ihowa ka ora ai te tangata.

And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every [word] that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

4 Kihai tou kakahu i tawhitotia ki runga ki a koe, kihai ano hoki tou waewae i pupuhi, i enei tau e wha tekau.

Thy raiment hath not become old upon thee, neither hath thy foot swelled these forty years.

5 A ka mahara koe i roto i tou ngakau, e papaki ana a Ihowa, tou Atua i a koe, e pera ana me te tangata e papaki ana i tana tama.

Thou shalt also consider in thy heart, that as a man chasteneth his son, [so] the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

6 Na kia mau ki nga whakahau a Ihowa, a tou Atua, haere hoki i ana huarahi me te wehi ano ki a ia.

Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

7 Na te mea e kawe ana a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe ki te whenua pai, ki te whenua o nga awa wai, o nga puna, o nga wai hohonu, e pupu mai ana i nga raorao, i nga maunga;

For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains, and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;

8 Ki te whenua o te witi, o te parei, o te waina, o te piki, o te pamekaranete: ki te whenua o te hinu oriwa, o te honi;

A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig-trees, and pomegranates, a land of olive-oil, and honey;

9 Ki te whenua e kore ai e onge tau taro e kai ai koe, e kore rawa ai koe e hapa i tetahi mea; ki te whenua he rino ona kohatu, ka keri ano koe i te parahi i roto i ona maunga.

A land in which thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any [thing] in it, a land whose stones [are] iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.

10 A ka kai koe, ka makona, na kia whakapai atu koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, mo te whenua pai kua homai e ia ki a koe.

When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.

11 Kia tupato kei wareware ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kei kore koe e pupuri i ana whakahau, i ana whakaritenga, i ana tikanga, e whakahaua nei e ahau ki a koe i tenei ra:

Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:

12 Kei kai koe, a ka makona, kei hanga hoki i nga whare papai, a noho iho;

Lest [when] thou hast eaten, and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt [in them];

13 A ka tini haere au kau, me au hipi, ka nui hoki te hiriwa me te koura ki a koe, a ka tini haere nga mea katoa ki a koe;

And [when] thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold are increased, and all that thou hast is increased;

14 Na ka kake tou ngakau, a ka wareware koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i whakaputa mai ra i a koe i te whenua o Ihipa, i te whare pononga;

Then thy heart shall be lifted up, and thou shalt forget the LORD thy God (who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; )

15 I arataki hoki i a koe i tena koraha nui, whakamataku, i reira nei nga nakahi tu a ahi me nga kopiona, me te whenua matewai, kahore o reira wai; i whakaputa mai ano i te wai mou i roto i te kohatu kiripaka;

Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, [in which were] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drouth, where [there was] no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;

16 I whangai i a koe i te koraha ki te mana, kihai nei i mohiotia e ou matua; kia iro ai koe, kia whakamatautau ai hoki ia i a koe, a kia pai ai te tukunga iho ki a koe;

Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end.

17 A ka mea koe i roto i tou ngakau, Na toku kaha, na te uaua hoki o toku ringa, i whiwhi ai ahau ki enei taonga.

And thou shalt say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand hath gotten me this wealth.

18 Engari kia mahara ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, nana hoki i homai te kaha ki a koe i whiwhi ai ki te taonga; kia mana ai tana kawenata i oati ai ia ki ou matua, a ka rite nei inaianei.

But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for [it is] he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to thy fathers, as [it is] this day.

19 Na ki te wareware koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, a ka whai ki nga atua ke, ka mahi ki a ratou, ka koropiko atu hoki ki a ratou, maku e ki atu ki a koutou i tenei ra, ka ngaro rawa koutou.

And it shall be, if thou shalt at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.

20 Ka rite ki nga iwi e whakangaromia nei e Ihowa i to koutou aroaro, ka pera ano koutou, ka ngaro; mo koutou kihai i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua.

As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient to the voice of the LORD your God.
