Na, whakarongo mai ra inaianei, e Iharaira, ki nga tikanga, ki nga whakaritenga e whakaako atu nei ahau ki a koutou kia mahia; kia ora ai koutou, kia tae atu ai, kia noho ai hoki ki te whenua e homai nei e Ihowa, e te Atua o o koutou matua, ki a koutou.

Ko te kupu, e whakahaua atu nei e ahau ki a koutou, kaua e tapiritia ki etahi atu, kaua ano e kinitia atu tetahi wahi ona; kia rite ai i a koutou nga whakahau a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, e whakahaua nei e ahau ki a koutou.

Kua kite o koutou kanohi i ta Ihowa i mea ai mo Paarapeoro: ko nga tangata katoa hoki i whai i a Paarapeoro whakamatea rawatia iho ratou e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, i roto i a koutou.

Ko koutou ia, i awhi ra ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, e ora katoa ana i tenei ra.

Titiro, kua whakaako ahau i a koutou ki nga tikanga, ki nga whakaritenga, ki a Ihowa, ki a toku Atua i ako ai ki ahau, hei mahi ma koutou i waenganui o te whenua e haere atu nei koutou ki reira ki te tango.

Na puritia, mahia: ko to koutou whakaaro nui hoki ia, me to koutou mohio ki te titiro mai a nga tauiwi, a nga mea e rongo ana ki enei tikanga katoa, a ka mea ratou, Koia hoki, he hunga mohio, he hunga tupato tenei iwi nui.

Ko wai hoki te iwi nui, e whiwhi ana ki te atua penei te tata ki a ratou me Ihowa, me to tatou Atua, e tata mai nei i a tatou karangaranga katoa ki a ia?

Ko wai hoki te iwi nui, i a ia nei nga tikanga me nga whakaritenga tika, penei me tenei ture katoa e hoatu nei e ahau ki to koutou aroaro i tenei ra?

Mau ia koe e tiaki, me tiaki marie ano tou wairua, kei wareware ki nga mea i kite ai ou kanohi, kei riro atu hoki i roto i tou ngakau, i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe; engari me whakaako au tama, me nga tama hoki a au tama ki ena mea;

10 Ki te ra ano hoki i tu ai koe i te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, i Horepa, i ta Ihowa meatanga mai ki ahau, Huihuia mai te iwi ki ahau, a maku e mea kia rongo ratou i aku korero, kia whakaakona ai kia wehi i ahau i nga ra katoa e ora ai ratou i ru nga i te whenua, hei whakaako atu ma ratou ki a ratou tama.

11 Na ka whakatata koutou, ka tu hoki i raro iho o te maunga; ko te maunga hoki ka tonu i te ahi, a kakati noa ki waenganui o te rangi, te pouri! te kapua! na, pouri kerekere.

12 Na ka korero mai a Ihowa ki a koutou i waenganui o te ahi: ko te puakanga mai o nga kupu ta koutou i rongo ai, tena ko tetahi ahau kihai i kitea; heoi ano ko te reo kau.

13 Na ka kauwhautia e ia ki a koutou tana kawenata, i whakahaua e ia ki a koutou kia whakaritea, ara nga ture kotahi tekau, a tuhituhia iho e ia ki nga papa kohatu e rua.

14 I whakahau ano a Ihowa i ahau i taua wa, kia whakaakona koutou ki nga tikanga, ki nga whakaritenga, hei mahi ma koutou ki te whenua e haere atu nei koutou ki reira ki te tango.

15 Tiakina marietia ra o koutou wairua; kihai hoki koutou i kite i tetahi ahua, me he aha, me he aha, i te ra i korero ai a Ihowa ki a koutou i Horepa, i waenganui o te ahi;

16 Kei he koutou, kei hanga i te whakapakoko ma koutou, i te ritenga o tetahi tauira, i te ahua o te tane, o te wahine ranei;

17 I te ahua o tetahi kararehe o te whenua, i te ahua o tetahi manu whai parirau e rererere ana i te rangi,

18 I te ahua o tetahi mea e ngokingoki ana i te whenua, i te ahua o tetahi ika i roto i te wai i raro iho o te whenua:

19 Kei anga ake ranei ou kanohi ki te rangi, ka kite i te ra, i te marama ranei, i nga whetu, i te ope katoa o te rangi, na ka takina atu koe ki te koropiko atu ki ena mea, ki te mahi atu hoki ki ena mea, i tuwhaina mai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, mo nga iwi katoa i raro o te rangi, puta noa, puta noa.

20 Na Ihowa ia koutou i tango, nana hoki koutou i whakaputa mai i roto i te oumu rino, i Ihipa, kia waiho ai hei iwi tupu mana, me koutou inaianei.

21 I riri mai ano a Ihowa ki ahau mo ta koutou hoki, a oati mai ana e kore ahau e whiti i Horano, e kore ano e tae ki te whenua pai, ka homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe hei kainga tupu.

22 Engari ka mate ahau ki tenei whenua, e kore ahau nei e whiti i Horano: ko koutou ia ka whiti, ka tango hoki i taua whenua pai.

23 Kia tupato, kei wareware ki te kawenata a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, i whakaritea e ia ki a koutou, kei hanga hoki he whakapakoko ma koutou ki te ritenga o tetahi mea i riria mai nei koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua.

24 Ko Ihowa hoki, ko tou Atua, he ahi e ki ana, he Atua hae ia.

25 E whanau au tamariki me nga tamariki a au tamariki, a ka roa to koutou noho ki te whenua, a ka taka koutou, ka hanga hoki i te whakapakoko ki te ahua o tetahi mea, a ka mahi i te mea e kino ana ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tou Atua, hei whakapatarita ri i a ia:

26 Ka waiho e ahau i tenei ra te rangi me te whenua hei kaititiro mo koutou, mo te matenga hoki e hohoro ai koutou te mate atu i te whenua e whiti atu nei koutou i Horano ki reira, ki te tango; e kore e roa o koutou ra ki reira, engari ka tino ngar o rawa koutou.

27 A ka whakamarara a Ihowa i a koutou ki nga tauiwi, a he hunga torutoru o koutou e toe i roto i nga tauiwi, e kawea atu ai koutou e Ihowa ki reira.

28 A ka mahi koutou i reira ki nga atua i hanga e nga ringa tangata, ki te rakau, ki te kohatu, e kore nei e kite, e kore e rongo, e kore e kai, e kore ano e hongi.

29 Otiia ki te rapu koe i reira i a Ihowa, i tou Atua, na ka kitea e koe, ki te whakapaua katoatia tou ngakau me tou wairua ki te rapu i a ia.

30 Ki te mate koe, a ka pono ki a koe enei mea katoa i nga ra a muri ake nei, ka hoki koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, ka whakarongo ano hoki ki tona reo;

31 He atua tohu hoki a Ihowa, tou Atua; e kore ia e whakarere i a koe, e kore ano hoki e whakangaro i a koe, e kore hoki e wareware ki te kawenata ki ou matua, i oati ai ia ki a ratou.

32 Ui atu hoki ki nga rangi onamata, o mua i a koe, o te ra i hanga ai e te Atua te tangata ki runga ki te whenua, i tetahi pito o te rangi paku noa ki tetahi pito o te rangi, i puta mai ranei tetahi mea hei rite mo tenei mea te nui, i rangona rane i he rite ki tenei?

33 I rongo ranei tetahi iwi i te reo o te Atua e korero mai ana i waenganui o te ahi, me tau i rongo ai, a ora ake?

34 I whakamatau ranei te Atua te haere iho, te tango i tetahi iwi mana i waenganui i tetahi iwi ke, i runga i nga whakamatau, i nga tohu, i nga merekara, i te whawhai, i te ringaringa kaha, i te ringaringa maro, i nga whakawehi nui, i nga mea katoa i mea ai a Ihowa, to koutou Atua ki a koutou, ki to koutou aroaro i Ihipa?

35 I whakakitea mai ai ena mea ki a koe kia mohio ai koe ki a Ihowa, ko ia te Atua; kahore ke atu i a ia.

36 I meatia koe e ia kia rongo ki tona reo i te rangi, hei whakaako i a koe: a i te whenua i whakakitea e ia tana ahi nui ki a koe; ko ana kupu hoki i rangona e koe i waenganui i te ahi.

37 A, no te mea i aroha ia ki ou matua, koia i whiriwhiria ai e ia o ratou uri i muri i a ratou, i whakaputaina mai ai hoki koe i Ihipa, me tana titiro tonu iho, i runga ano i tona kaha nui;

38 I mea ai ki te pei i nga iwi he nui, he kaha i a koe i tou aroaro, ki te kawe i a koe, ki te hoatu i to ratou oneone ki a koe hei kainga pumau; koia tenei inaianei.

39 Na kia mohio koe i tenei ra, kia whakaaro hoki i roto i tou ngakau, ko Ihowa, ko ia te Atua i te rangi i runga, i te whenua hoki i raro; kahore ke atu.

40 Na kia mau ki ana tikanga, ki ana whakahau, e whakahaua nei e ahau i tenei ra ki a koe, hei pai hoki mou, mo au tama i muri i a koe, kia roa ai ou ra ki te whenua ka hoatu nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua ki a koe a ake tonu atu.

41 Katahi a Mohi ka motuhake i nga pa e toru i tenei taha o Horano, whaka te rawhiti;

42 Hei rerenga atu mo te tangata whakamate, i whakamate i tona hoa, otiia ehara i te mea ata whakaaro, ehara hoki i te hoariri nona i mua; na ka rere ia ki tetahi o aua pa, a ka ora;

43 Ara i Pehere i te koraha, i te whenua mania, mo nga Reupeni; i Ramoto i Kireara, mo nga Kari; i Korana i Pahana, mo nga Manahi.

44 A, ko te ture tenei i hoatu e Mohi ki te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira:

45 Ko nga whakaaturanga ano enei, me nga tikanga, me nga whakaritenga i korerotia e Mohi ki nga tama a Iharaira, i to ratou putanga mai i Ihipa,

46 I tenei taha o Horano, i te raorao i te ritenga atu o Petepeoro, i te whenua o Hihona, o te kingi o nga Amori, i noho ra i Hehepona, i patua ra e Mohi ratou ko nga tama a Iharaira, i to ratou putanga mai i Ihipa;

47 A tangohia ana tona whenua e ratou, me te whenua hoki o Oka, o te kingi o Pahana, to nga kingi tokorua o nga Amori, i tenei taha o Horano, whaka te rawhiti;

48 O Aroera i te taha o te awa o Aranona, a Maunga Hiona, ara a Heremona,

49 Me te Arapaha katoa i tera taha o Horano, whaka te rawhiti, a tae noa ki te moana o te Arapaha, i raro iho i nga titahatanga o Pihika.

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.

Na ko te whakahau tenei, ko nga tikanga me nga whakaritenga, i whakahaua mai e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, kia whakaakona atu ki a koutou, hei mahi ma koutou ki te whenua e haere atu nei koutou ki reira ki te tango:

Kia wehi ai koe i a Ihowa, i tou Atua, kia puritia ai ana tikanga katoa, me ana whakahau e whakahaua nei e ahau ki a koe, e koe, e tau tama, e te tama hoki a tau tama, i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe; kia roa ai hoki ou ra.

Na, whakarongo, e Iharaira, kia mahara hoki kia mahia enei mea, kia whiwhi ai koe ki te pai, kia nui rawa ai hoki koutou, kia pera ai me ta Ihowa, me ta te Atua o ou matua i korero ai ki a koe, ki te whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi.

Whakarongo, e Iharaira: Ko Ihowa, ko to tatou Atua, he Ihowa kotahi:

A me whakapau katoa tou ngakau, tou wairua, tou kaha ki te aroha ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua.

Hei roto ano i tou ngakau enei kupu e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koe i tenei ra;

Whakaakona marietia atu hoki ki au tamariki, korerotia i a koe e noho ana i tou whare, i a koe e haere ana i te huarahi, i a koe e takoto ana, i tou aranga ake hoki.

Me here e koe hei tohu ki tou ringa, hei pare ano ena mea ki waenganui o ou kanohi.

Tuhituhia ano hoki ki nga pou tatau o tou whare, ki ou tatau hoki.

10 A, a mua ake nei, ina kawea koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki te whenua i oati ai ia ki ou matua, ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa, a ka homai e ia ki a koe he pa nunui, papai, kihai nei i hanga e koe,

11 He whare ki tonu i nga mea papai katoa, kihai nei i whakakiia e koe, he poka wai oti rawa te keri, kihai i keria e koe, he mara waina, he oriwa, kihai nei i whakatokia e koe: a ka kai koe, ka makona;

12 Kia tupato ki a koe i reira, kei wareware ki a Ihowa, nana nei koe i whakaputa mai i te whenua o Ihipa, i te whare pononga.

13 Ko Ihowa, ko tou Atua tau e wehi ai, me mahi ano hoki ki a ia, ko tona ingoa hoki hei oatitanga mau.

14 Kei whai ki nga atua ke, o nga atua o nga tauiwi i tetahi taha o koutou, i tetahi taha;

15 He Atua hae hoki a Ihowa, tou Atua i waenganui i a koe; kei mura te riri o Ihowa, o tou Atua ki a koe, a ka ngaro koe i te mata o te whenua.

16 Kei whakamatautau i a Ihowa, i to koutou Atua, me koutou ra i whakamatautau i a ia i Meha.

17 Puritia mareitia nga whakahau a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, me ana whakaatu, me ana tikanga, i whakahaua mai nei e ia ki a koe.

18 Mahia hoki te mea tika, te mea pai ki te aroaro o Ihowa; kia whiwhi ai koe ki te pai, kia tae atu ai, kia noho ai ki te whenua pai i oatitia e Ihowa ki ou matua,

19 Kia peia ai ou hoariri katoa i tou aroaro, kia rite ai ki ta Ihowa i ki ai.

20 A ki te ui tau tama ki a koe a mua, ki te mea, Hei aha nga whakaatu, me nga tikanga, me nga whakaritenga, i whakahaua mai nei e Ihowa, e to tatou Atua, ki a koutou?

21 Na ka mea atu koe ki tau tama, He pononga matou na Parao i Ihipa; a he kaha te ringa i whakaputaina mai ai matou e Ihowa i Ihipa:

22 A whakakitea mai ana e Ihowa he tohu, he merekara, he nui, he nanakia ki Ihipa, ki a Parao, ki tona whare katoa, me te titiro ano matou;

23 A whakaputaina mai ana matou e ia i reira, kia kawea mai ai matou, kia homai ai e ia te whenua i oati ai ia ki o tatou matua.

24 A whakahaua ana tatou e Ihowa kia mahia enei tikanga katoa, kia wehi i a Ihowa, i to tatou Atua, hei pai mo tatou i nga ra katoa, kia whakaorangia ai tatou e ia, kia penei ai i tenei inaianei.

25 A hei tika mo tatou ki te mau te mahi i enei whakahau katoa ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua, ki te pera me tana i whakahau ai ki a tatou.

Obedience Commanded

Now, Israel, hear the decrees(A) and laws I am about to teach(B) you. Follow them so that you may live(C) and may go in and take possession of the land the Lord, the God of your ancestors, is giving you. Do not add(D) to what I command you and do not subtract(E) from it, but keep(F) the commands(G) of the Lord your God that I give you.

You saw with your own eyes what the Lord did at Baal Peor.(H) The Lord your God destroyed from among you everyone who followed the Baal of Peor, but all of you who held fast to the Lord your God are still alive today.

See, I have taught(I) you decrees and laws(J) as the Lord my God commanded(K) me, so that you may follow them in the land you are entering(L) to take possession of it. Observe(M) them carefully, for this will show your wisdom(N) and understanding to the nations, who will hear about all these decrees and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”(O) What other nation is so great(P) as to have their gods near(Q) them the way the Lord our God is near us whenever we pray to him? And what other nation is so great as to have such righteous decrees and laws(R) as this body of laws I am setting before you today?

Only be careful,(S) and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach(T) them to your children(U) and to their children after them. 10 Remember the day you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb,(V) when he said to me, “Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn(W) to revere(X) me as long as they live in the land(Y) and may teach(Z) them to their children.” 11 You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain(AA) while it blazed with fire(AB) to the very heavens, with black clouds and deep darkness.(AC) 12 Then the Lord spoke(AD) to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of words but saw no form;(AE) there was only a voice.(AF) 13 He declared to you his covenant,(AG) the Ten Commandments,(AH) which he commanded you to follow and then wrote them on two stone tablets. 14 And the Lord directed me at that time to teach you the decrees and laws(AI) you are to follow in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.

Idolatry Forbidden

15 You saw no form(AJ) of any kind the day the Lord spoke to you at Horeb(AK) out of the fire. Therefore watch yourselves very carefully,(AL) 16 so that you do not become corrupt(AM) and make for yourselves an idol,(AN) an image of any shape, whether formed like a man or a woman, 17 or like any animal on earth or any bird that flies in the air,(AO) 18 or like any creature that moves along the ground or any fish in the waters below. 19 And when you look up to the sky and see the sun,(AP) the moon and the stars(AQ)—all the heavenly array(AR)—do not be enticed(AS) into bowing down to them and worshiping(AT) things the Lord your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven. 20 But as for you, the Lord took you and brought you out of the iron-smelting furnace,(AU) out of Egypt,(AV) to be the people of his inheritance,(AW) as you now are.

21 The Lord was angry with me(AX) because of you, and he solemnly swore that I would not cross the Jordan and enter the good land the Lord your God is giving you as your inheritance. 22 I will die in this land;(AY) I will not cross the Jordan; but you are about to cross over and take possession of that good land.(AZ) 23 Be careful not to forget the covenant(BA) of the Lord your God that he made with you; do not make for yourselves an idol(BB) in the form of anything the Lord your God has forbidden. 24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire,(BC) a jealous God.(BD)

25 After you have had children and grandchildren and have lived in the land a long time—if you then become corrupt(BE) and make any kind of idol,(BF) doing evil(BG) in the eyes of the Lord your God and arousing his anger, 26 I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses(BH) against you(BI) this day that you will quickly perish(BJ) from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live there long but will certainly be destroyed. 27 The Lord will scatter(BK) you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive(BL) among the nations to which the Lord will drive you. 28 There you will worship man-made gods(BM) of wood and stone,(BN) which cannot see or hear or eat or smell.(BO) 29 But if from there you seek(BP) the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart(BQ) and with all your soul.(BR) 30 When you are in distress(BS) and all these things have happened to you, then in later days(BT) you will return(BU) to the Lord your God and obey him. 31 For the Lord your God is a merciful(BV) God; he will not abandon(BW) or destroy(BX) you or forget(BY) the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.

The Lord Is God

32 Ask(BZ) now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created human beings on the earth;(CA) ask from one end of the heavens to the other.(CB) Has anything so great(CC) as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of? 33 Has any other people heard the voice of God[a] speaking out of fire, as you have, and lived?(CD) 34 Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation,(CE) by testings,(CF) by signs(CG) and wonders,(CH) by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm,(CI) or by great and awesome deeds,(CJ) like all the things the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?

35 You were shown these things so that you might know that the Lord is God; besides him there is no other.(CK) 36 From heaven he made you hear his voice(CL) to discipline(CM) you. On earth he showed you his great fire, and you heard his words from out of the fire. 37 Because he loved(CN) your ancestors and chose their descendants after them, he brought you out of Egypt by his Presence and his great strength,(CO) 38 to drive out before you nations greater and stronger than you and to bring you into their land to give it to you for your inheritance,(CP) as it is today.

39 Acknowledge(CQ) and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other.(CR) 40 Keep(CS) his decrees and commands,(CT) which I am giving you today, so that it may go well(CU) with you and your children after you and that you may live long(CV) in the land the Lord your God gives you for all time.

Cities of Refuge(CW)

41 Then Moses set aside three cities east of the Jordan, 42 to which anyone who had killed a person could flee if they had unintentionally(CX) killed a neighbor without malice aforethought. They could flee into one of these cities and save their life. 43 The cities were these: Bezer in the wilderness plateau, for the Reubenites; Ramoth(CY) in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.

Introduction to the Law

44 This is the law Moses set before the Israelites. 45 These are the stipulations, decrees and laws Moses gave them when they came out of Egypt 46 and were in the valley near Beth Peor east of the Jordan, in the land of Sihon(CZ) king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon and was defeated by Moses and the Israelites as they came out of Egypt. 47 They took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan. 48 This land extended from Aroer(DA) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge to Mount Sirion[b](DB) (that is, Hermon(DC)), 49 and included all the Arabah east of the Jordan, as far as the Dead Sea,[c] below the slopes of Pisgah.

The Ten Commandments(DD)

Moses summoned all Israel and said:

Hear, Israel, the decrees and laws(DE) I declare in your hearing today. Learn them and be sure to follow them. The Lord our God made a covenant(DF) with us at Horeb.(DG) It was not with our ancestors[d] that the Lord made this covenant, but with us,(DH) with all of us who are alive here today.(DI) The Lord spoke(DJ) to you face to face(DK) out of the fire(DL) on the mountain. (At that time I stood between(DM) the Lord and you to declare to you the word of the Lord, because you were afraid(DN) 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,(DO) out of the land of slavery.(DP)

“You shall have no other gods before[e] 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.(DQ) 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(DR) to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,(DS) 10 but showing love to a thousand(DT) generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.(DU)

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

12 “Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy,(DX) as the Lord your God has commanded you. 13 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 14 but the seventh day(DY) 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,(DZ) 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.(EA) 15 Remember that you were slaves(EB) in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand(EC) and an outstretched arm.(ED) Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.

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

17 “You shall not murder.(EH)

18 “You shall not commit adultery.(EI)

19 “You shall not steal.(EJ)

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

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.”(EL)

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;(EM) and he added nothing more. Then he wrote them on two stone tablets(EN) 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(EO) came to me. 24 And you said, “The Lord our God has shown us(EP) his glory and his majesty,(EQ) and we have heard his voice from the fire. Today we have seen that a person can live even if God speaks with them.(ER) 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.(ES) 26 For what mortal has ever heard the voice of the living God speaking out of fire, as we have, and survived?(ET) 27 Go near and listen to all that the Lord our God says.(EU) Then tell us whatever the Lord our God tells you. We will listen and obey.”(EV)

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.(EW) 29 Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me(EX) and keep all my commands(EY) always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!(EZ)

30 “Go, tell them to return to their tents. 31 But you stay here(FA) 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;(FB) do not turn aside to the right or to the left.(FC) 33 Walk in obedience to all that the Lord your God has commanded you,(FD) so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days(FE) in the land that you will possess.

Love the Lord Your God

These are the commands, decrees and laws the Lord your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, so that you, your children and their children after them may fear(FF) the Lord your God as long as you live(FG) by keeping all his decrees and commands(FH) that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life.(FI) Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey(FJ) so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly(FK) in a land flowing with milk and honey,(FL) just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised(FM) you.

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[f](FN) Love(FO) the Lord your God with all your heart(FP) and with all your soul and with all your strength.(FQ) These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.(FR) Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.(FS) Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.(FT) Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.(FU)

10 When the Lord your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build,(FV) 11 houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig,(FW) and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied,(FX) 12 be careful that you do not forget(FY) the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

13 Fear the Lord(FZ) your God, serve him only(GA) and take your oaths(GB) in his name.(GC) 14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you; 15 for the Lord your God(GD), who is among you, is a jealous God and his anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of the land. 16 Do not put the Lord your God to the test(GE) as you did at Massah. 17 Be sure to keep(GF) the commands of the Lord your God and the stipulations and decrees he has given you.(GG) 18 Do what is right and good in the Lord’s sight,(GH) so that it may go well(GI) with you and you may go in and take over the good land the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors, 19 thrusting out all your enemies(GJ) before you, as the Lord said.

20 In the future, when your son asks you,(GK) “What is the meaning of the stipulations, decrees and laws the Lord our God has commanded you?” 21 tell him: “We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.(GL) 22 Before our eyes the Lord sent signs and wonders—great and terrible—on Egypt and Pharaoh and his whole household. 23 But he brought us out from there to bring us in and give us the land he promised on oath to our ancestors. 24 The Lord commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the Lord our God,(GM) so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today.(GN) 25 And if we are careful to obey all this law(GO) before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us, that will be our righteousness.(GP)

11  A, no ka tata ratou ki Hiruharama, ki Petapaki, ki Petani, a ka tae ki Maunga Oriwa, tokorua ana akonga i tonoa e ia,

A i mea ia ki a raua, Haere ki te kainga e anga mai ana ki a korua: e tomo kau ki reira, ka kite korua i tetahi kuao e here ana, kahore ano kia nohoia e te tangata; wetekina, arahina mai.

A ki te ki mai tetahi tangata ki a korua, He aha tenei ka meinga ai e korua? ka mea atu, E mea ana te Ariki ki a ia mana: na ka tukua tonutia mai ki konei.

Na haere ana raua, ka kite i te kuao e here ana ki te kuwaha i waho i te ara; a wetekina ana e raua.

A ka mea etahi o te hunga e tu ana i reira ki a raua, he aha ta korua e wewete na i te kuao?

Na ka korerotia e raua ki a ratou ta Ihu i mea ai: a tukua ana raua e ratou.

Ka arahina te kuao ki a Ihu, na wharikitia ana o raua kakahu ki runga ki a ia; a noho ana ia i runga.

Na he tokomaha i whariki i o ratou kakahu ki te ara: ko etahi i kokoti i nga manga o nga rakau, wharikitia ana ki te ara.

Ko te hunga i haere i mua, me te hunga i haere i muri, i karanga, i mea, Ohana: Ka whakapaingia ia e haere mai ana i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki:

10 Ka whakapaingia te rangatiratanga e haere mai ana, te rangatiratanga o to tatou matua o Rawiri: Ohana i runga rawa.

11 Na ka tomo a Ihu ki Hiruharama, ki roto hoki ki te temepara: a, ka mutu tana tirotiro i nga mea katoa, ko te wa hoki o te ahiahi, ka haere ratou ko te tekau ma rua ki Petani.

12 Na, i te aonga ake, i a ratou kua puta i Petani, ka hiakai ia:

13 A, i tona kitenga i tetahi piki i tawhiti, he rau ona, ka haere ia, me kore e kitea tetahi mea i runga: a, no tona taenga, kihai i kitea e ia tetahi mea, he rau anake: ehara hoki i te wa o te piki.

14 Na ka oho a Ihu, ka mea ki taua rakau, Kaua rawa te tangata e kai i tetahi hua ou ake tonu atu; me te whakarongo ano ana akonga.

15 A ka tae ratou ki Hiruharama: na ka tomo a Ihu ki te temepara, ka anga ki te pei ki waho i te hunga e hoko atu ana, e hoko mai ana i roto i te temepara, a whakatahuritia ake nga tepu o nga kaiwhakawhitiwhiti moni, me nga nohoanga o nga kaihoko k ukupa;

16 A kihai i tukua e ia kia mauria tetahi oko e te tangata ra te temepara.

17 A i whakaako ia, i mea ki a ratou, Kahore koia i tuhituhia, Ka kiia toku whare he whare inoi mo nga tauiwi katoa? otiia kua meinga nei e koutou hei ana mo nga kaipahua.

18 I rongo hoki nga tohunga nui me nga karaipi, a ka rapu ki te pehea e whakangaromia ai ia: i mataku hoki ratou i a ia, no te mea i miharo te mano katoa ki tana ako.

Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(A)(B)

11 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany(C) at the Mount of Olives,(D) Jesus sent two of his disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden.(E) Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’”

They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway.(F) As they untied it, some people standing there asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt?” They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it. Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted,

“Hosanna![a]

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”[b](G)

10 “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!”

“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”(H)

11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.(I)

Jesus Curses a Fig Tree and Clears the Temple Courts(J)(K)(L)

12 The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.(M) 14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.

15 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17 And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’[c]?(N) But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’[d](O)

18 The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him,(P) because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.(Q)
