Ngā Mea nui i Mahia e Ihowā
1 Nā reira, me aroha koe ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua, kia mau ki tāna ako, ki āna tikanga, ki tāna i whakarite ai, me āna whakahau, i ngā rā katoa. 2 Kia mōhio hoki koutou i tēnei rā kāhore anō ia ahau e kōrero ana ki ā koutou tamariki, (kāhore hoki rātou i mōhio, kāhore anō hoki i kite i te whakawhiu a Ihowā), a tō koutou Atua, i tōna nui, i tōna ringa kaha, i tōna tākakau i mārō rā, 3 i āna merekara hoki, i āna mahi i meatia e ia i waenganui o Īhipa ki a Parao kīngi o Īhipa, ki tōna whenua katoa hoki. 4 I tāna hoki i mea ai ki te ope o Īhipa, ki ō rātou hōiho, ki ō rātou hāriata; i a ia i mea rā i ngā wai o te Moana Whero kia huri ki runga ki a rātou i tō rātou whāinga mai i a koutou, ā, hunā iho rātou e Ihowā ā mohoa noa nei. 5 I ngā mea hoki i mea ai ia ki a koutou i te koraha, ā tae noa mai koutou ki tēnei wāhi. 6 I tāna hoki i mea ai ki a Ratana rāua ko Āpirama, ki ngā tama a Eriapa tama a Reupena; i te kowheratanga ake o te māngai o te whenua, ā, horomia ana rātou, me ngā tāngata o ō rātou whare, me ō rātou tēneti hoki, me ā rātou mea ora katoa, i waenganui i a Īharaira katoa. 7 Ko ō koutou kanohi ia kua kite i ngā mahi nunui katoa a Ihowā i mahi ai ia.
Ngā Manaakitanga o te Whenua i Kōrerotia rā
8 Āe rā, kia mau ki ngā whakahau katoa e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koe i tēnei rā, kia kaha ai koe, kia tae atu ai hoki, kia whiwhi ai ki te whenua e haere atu nei koutou ki reira ki te tango; 9 kia roa ai hoki ō koutou rā ki te whenua i oati ai a Ihowā ki ōu mātua kia hoatu ki a rātou, ki ō rātou uri, he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiū, e te honi. 10 Ko te whenua hoki e haere atu nei koe ki reira ki te tango, ehara i te pērā me te whenua o Īhipa, i mahue atu rā i a koe, e whakatō ai koe i tāu purapura, e whakamākūkū ai hoki ki tōu waewae, ānō he kāri otaota. 11 Engari, he whenua pukepuke, he whenua raorao te whenua e haere atu nei koutou ki reira ki te tango, e inu ana hoki i te ua o te rangi hei wai; 12 he whenua e matapoporetia ana e Ihowā, e tōu Atua; kei reira tonu ngā kanohi o Ihowā, o tōu Atua, nō te tīmatanga o te tau taea noatia te mutunga o te tau.
13 Ā, ki te whakarongo mārie koutou ki āku whakahau e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koutou i tēnei rā – kia aroha ki a Ihowā, ki tō koutou Atua, kia whakapaua ō koutou ngākau, ō koutou wairua ki te mahi ki a ia – 14 nā, ka hoatu e ahau te ua mō tō koutou whenua i tōna pō anō, te ua mataati me te ua ō muri, ā, ka kohikohi koe i tāu wīti, i tāu wāina, i tāu hinu. 15 Ā, ka hoatu e ahau te tarutaru ki ōu pārae, mā āu kararehe, ā, ka kai koe, ka mākona.
16 Kia mahara ki a koutou, kei māmingatia ō koutou ngākau, kei peka kē koutou, kei mahi ki ngā atua kē, kei koropiko ki a rātou; 17 ā, ka mura te riri o Ihowā ki a koutou, ā, ka tūtakina e ia te rangi, e kore ake ai te ua, e kore ai hoki e tukua mai e te whenua ōna hua. Nā, ka hohoro koutou te mate atu i te whenua pai ka hōmai nei e Ihowā ki a koutou.
18 Engari, rongoātia ēnei kupu āku ki roto ki ō koutou ngākau, ki ō koutou wairua; herea hoki hei tohu ki ō koutou ringa, hei pare anō ki waenganui i ō koutou kanohi. 19 Whakaakona atu hoki ki ā koutou tamariki, kōrerotia ina noho i tōu whare, ina haere koe i te huarahi, ina takoto, ina whakatika rānei. 20 Tuhituhia anō hoki ki ngā pou tatau o tōu whare, ki ōu tatau hoki; 21 kia tini ai ōu rā, me ngā rā o ā koutou tamariki ki te whenua i oati ai a Ihowā ki ōu mātua kia hoatu ki a rātou, kia rite ai ki ngā rā o te rangi i runga i te whenua.
22 Ki te āta pupuri hoki koutou i ēnei whakahau katoa e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koutou kia mahia; ki te aroha ki a Ihowā, ki tō koutou Atua, ki te haere hoki i āna huarahi, ki te awhi ki a ia; 23 nā, ka peia atu e Ihowā ēnei iwi katoa i tō koutou aroaro, ā, ka riro i a koutou ngā iwi he nui ake, he kaha ake i a koutou. 24 Mō koutou ngā wāhi katoa e takahia e te kapu o ō koutou waewae; kei te koraha, kei Repanōna hoki, kei te awa, kei Uparati, ā tae noa ki te moana ki te hauāuru, ngā rohe ki a koutou. 25 E kore e tū te tangata ki tō koutou aroaro; ka whakapāngia hoki e Ihowā, e tō koutou Atua, tō koutou wehi, me tō koutou tūiri ki te mata katoa o te whenua e takahia e koutou, ka rite ki tāna i kōrero ai ki a koutou.
26 Nanā, ka hoatu e ahau ki tō koutou aroaro i tēnei rā te manaaki me te kanga: 27 te manaaki, ki te rongo koutou ki ngā whakahau a Ihowā, a tō koutou Atua, e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koutou i tēnei rā; 28 te kanga hoki, ki te kāhore koutou e rongo ki ngā whakahau a Ihowā, a tō koutou Atua, ā, ka peka kē i te huarahi e kīia atu nei e ahau ki a koutou i tēnei rā, ki te whai ki ngā atua kē, kīhai nei i mōhiotia e koutou. 29 Ā tēnei ake, ā te wā e kawea ai koe e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki te whenua, ka haere atu nei koe ki reira ki te tango, nā, me hoatu e koe te manaaki ki runga ki Maunga Keritimi me te kanga ki runga ki Maunga Ēpara. 30 Kāhore ianei ēnā i tāwāhi o Horano, i te taha o te huarahi e tō ai te rā, i te whenua o ngā Kanaani e noho ana i te Arapaha i te ritenga atu o Kirikara, i te taha o ngā oki i More? 31 Ka whiti atu hoki koutou i Horano, ka haere ki te tango i te whenua e hōmai ana e Ihowā, e tō koutou Atua, ki a koutou, ā, ka riro a reira i a koutou, ā, ka noho koutou ki reira. 32 Nā, kia mahara ki te mahi i ngā tikanga katoa, i ngā whakaritenga e hoatu nei e ahau ki tō koutou aroaro i tēnei rā.
