A i karanga atu a Mohi ki a Iharaira katoa, i mea ki a ratou, Whakarongo, e Iharaira, ki nga tikanga, ki nga whakaritenga e korerotia nei e ahau ki o koutou taringa i tenei ra, ka ako ai, ka pupuri ai, ka mahi ai.

I whakarite a Ihowa, to tatou Atua, i te kawenata ki a tatou i Horepa.

Kihai a Ihowa i whakarite i tenei kawenata ki o tatou matua; engari ki a tatou, ki a tatou nei ano, e ora katoa nei i konei inaianei.

I korero a kanohi mai a Ihowa ki a koutou i te maunga i waenganui o te ahi;

Ko ahau i tu i waenganui o Ihowa, o koutou, i taua wa, hei whakapuaki ki a koutou i te korero a Ihowa: i wehi hoki koutou i te ahi, kihai hoki i piki ake ki te maunga; i mea ia,

Ko Ihowa ahau, ko tou Atua, naku koe i whakaputa mai i te whenua o Ihipa, i te whare pononga.

Aua etahi atua ke atu mou ki mua i ahau.

Kei hanga koe i te whakapakoko mou, i tetahi ritenga ranei o nga mea o te rangi i runga, o te whenua ranei i raro, o te wai ranei i raro i te whenua.

Kei koropiko koe ki ena mea, kei mahi ranei ki ena mea: ko Ihowa hoki ahau ko tou Atua, he Atua hae, e mea ana i nga hara o nga matua kia tau iho ki nga tamariki a te toru, te wha ra ano o nga whakatupuranga o te hunga e kino ana ki ahau;

10 E whakaputa aroha ana hoki ki nga mano, ki te hunga e aroha ana ki ahau, e whakarite ana i aku ture.

11 Kei whakahuatia noatia e koe te ingoa o Ihowa, o tou Atua: e kore hoki a Ihowa e mea he harakore te tangata e whakahua noa ana i tona ingoa.

12 Kia mau ki te ra hapati, kia whakatapua, kia pera me ta Ihowa, me ta tou Atua i whakahau ai ki a koe.

13 E ono nga ra e mahi ai koe, e mea ai hoki i au mea katoa;

14 Tena ko te ra whitu, he hapati no Ihowa, no tou Atua; kaua e mahia tetahi mahi i reira, e koe, e tau tama, e tau tamahine, e tau pononga tane, e tau pononga wahine, e tau kau, e tau kaihe, e au kararehe katoa hoki, me tou tangata ke i roto i ou tatau; kia okioki ai tau pononga tane, tau pononga wahine, kia pena ai me koe.

15 Kia mahara ano he pononga koe i te whenua o Ihipa, a na Ihowa, na tou Atua koe i whakaputa mai i reira, i runga i te ringa kaha, i te ringa maro: na reira i whakahau ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe kia whakaritea te ra hapati.

16 Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea, kia rite ki ta Ihowa, ki ta tou Atua i whakahau aia ki a koe; kia roa ai ou ra, kia whiwhi ai hoki koe ki te pai i runga i te whenua e homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe.

17 Aua e patu.

18 Aua e puremu.

19 Aua e tahae.

20 Aua e whakapae teka ki tou hoa.

21 Aua hoki e hiahia ki te wahine a tou hoa, aua hoki e hiahia ki te whare o tou hoa, ki tana mara, ki tana pononga tane, ki tana pononga wahine, ki tana kau, ki tana kaihe, ki tetahi mea ranei a tou hoa.

22 Ko enei kupu i korerotia mai e Ihowa ki to koutou huihui katoa i te maunga, i waenganui o te ahi, o te kapua, o te pouri hoki, he nui ano hoki te reo; a kahore atu ano ana kupu: a tuhituhia iho e ia ki nga papa kohatu e rua, a homai ana ki ahau.

23 A, no to koutou rongonga i te kupu i roto i te pouri, ko te maunga hoki e ka ana i te ahi, ka whakatata mai ki ahau, ara nga upoko katoa o o koutou iwi, me o koutou kaumatua;

24 A ka mea mai, Na, kua whakakite mai a Ihowa, to tatou Atua, i tona kororia, i tona nui ki a tatou, kua rongo hoki tatou i tona reo i roto i te ahi; kua kite tatou i tenei ra ka korero a Ihowa ki te tangata, a ka ora ano ia.

25 Na kia mate matou hei aha? ka pau hoki matou i tenei ahi nui; ki te rongo ano matou i te reo o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua, na ka mate matou.

26 Ko wai hoki o nga kikokiko katoa i rongo ki te reo o te Atua ora e korero ana i roto i te ahi, me tatou nei i rongo, a ia ora ano?

27 Mau e whakatata atu, e whakarongo ki nga mea katoa e korero ai a Ihowa, to tatou Atua; mau hoki e korero ki a matou nga mea katoa e korero ai a Ihowa, to tatou Atua, ki a koe; a ma matou e whakarongo, e mahi.

28 A ka rongo mai a Ihowa i te puaki o a koutou kupu, i a koutou e korero ana ki ahau; na ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, Kua rongo ahau i te puaki mai o nga kupu a te iwi nei, i korero ra ratou ki a koe: he pai nga mea katoa i korero ra ratou.

29 E! me i pena o ratou ngakau i roto i a ratou, te wehi i ahau, te pupuri hoki i aku whakahau katoa i nga ra katoa, kia whiwhi ai ratou ki te pai me a ratou tamariki hoki ake tonu atu!

30 Haere, mea atu ki a ratou, Hoki atu koutou ki o koutou teneti.

31 Ko koe ia, e tu ki konei taua, a maku e korero ki a koe nga whakahau katoa, me nga tikanga, me nga whakaritenga e whakaako ai koe ki a ratou, hei mahi ma ratou ki te whenua e hoatu nei e ahau kia nohoia e ratou.

32 Na, kia mahara koutou kia pera te mahi me ta Ihowa, me ta to koutou Atua, i whakahau ai ki a koutou: kaua e peka ke ki matau, ki maui.

33 Haere i nga huarahi katoa i whakahau ai a Ihowa, to koutou Atua ki a koutou, kia ora ai koutou, kia whiwhi ai ki te pai, kia roa ai hoki o koutou ra ki te whenua ka riro nei i a koutou.

The Ten Commandments(A)

Moses summoned all Israel and said:

Hear, Israel, the decrees and laws(B) I declare in your hearing today. Learn them and be sure to follow them. The Lord our God made a covenant(C) with us at Horeb.(D) It was not with our ancestors[a] that the Lord made this covenant, but with us,(E) with all of us who are alive here today.(F) The Lord spoke(G) to you face to face(H) out of the fire(I) on the mountain. (At that time I stood between(J) the Lord and you to declare to you the word of the Lord, because you were afraid(K) of the fire and did not go up the mountain.) And he said:

“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt,(L) out of the land of slavery.(M)

“You shall have no other gods before[b] me.

“You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.(N) You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents(O) to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,(P) 10 but showing love to a thousand(Q) generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.(R)

11 “You shall not misuse the name(S) of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.(T)

12 “Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy,(U) as the Lord your God has commanded you. 13 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 14 but the seventh day(V) is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant,(W) nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns, so that your male and female servants may rest, as you do.(X) 15 Remember that you were slaves(Y) in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand(Z) and an outstretched arm.(AA) Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.

16 “Honor your father(AB) and your mother,(AC) as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long(AD) and that it may go well with you in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

17 “You shall not murder.(AE)

18 “You shall not commit adultery.(AF)

19 “You shall not steal.(AG)

20 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.(AH)

21 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not set your desire on your neighbor’s house or land, his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”(AI)

22 These are the commandments the Lord proclaimed in a loud voice to your whole assembly there on the mountain from out of the fire, the cloud and the deep darkness;(AJ) and he added nothing more. Then he wrote them on two stone tablets(AK) and gave them to me.

23 When you heard the voice out of the darkness, while the mountain was ablaze with fire, all the leaders of your tribes and your elders(AL) came to me. 24 And you said, “The Lord our God has shown us(AM) his glory and his majesty,(AN) and we have heard his voice from the fire. Today we have seen that a person can live even if God speaks with them.(AO) 25 But now, why should we die? This great fire will consume us, and we will die if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any longer.(AP) 26 For what mortal has ever heard the voice of the living God speaking out of fire, as we have, and survived?(AQ) 27 Go near and listen to all that the Lord our God says.(AR) Then tell us whatever the Lord our God tells you. We will listen and obey.”(AS)

28 The Lord heard you when you spoke to me, and the Lord said to me, “I have heard what this people said to you. Everything they said was good.(AT) 29 Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me(AU) and keep all my commands(AV) always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!(AW)

30 “Go, tell them to return to their tents. 31 But you stay here(AX) with me so that I may give you all the commands, decrees and laws you are to teach them to follow in the land I am giving them to possess.”

32 So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you;(AY) do not turn aside to the right or to the left.(AZ) 33 Walk in obedience to all that the Lord your God has commanded you,(BA) so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days(BB) in the land that you will possess.
