1 Ki te whakatika ake i roto i a koutou he poropiti, he moemoea ranei, a ka homai e ia ki a koe he tohu, he merekara ranei,

2 A ka puta mai te tohu, te merekara ranei, i korero ai ia ki a koe, i mea ai, Tatou ka whai ki nga atua ke, kihai nei i mohiotia e koe, ka mahi atu hoki ki a ratou;

3 Kei whakarongo koe ki nga korero a taua poropiti, a taua tangata moemoea ranei: e whakamatautau ana hoki a Ihowa, to koutou Atua, i a koutou, kia mohio ai e whakapaua ranei o koutou ngakau katoa, o koutou wairua katoa ki te aroha ki a Ihowa, ki t o koutou Atua.

4 Me haere koutou i muri i a Ihowa, i to koutou Atua, ko ia ta koutou e wehi ai, me pupuri ana whakahau, me whakarongo hoki ki tona reo, me mahi ano ki a ia, me awhi ki a ia.

5 A ko taua poropiti, ko taua tangata moemoea ranei, me whakamate; mona i takahi i a Ihowa, i to koutou Atua, i tangohia mai ai koutou i te whenua o Ihipa, i hokona ai koe i roto i te whare pononga, kia takina koe ki wahi ke i te huarahi i whakahau ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, ki a koe kia haerea. Penei ka whakakorea e koe te kino i roto i a koe.

6 Ki te whakawaia pukutia koe e tou teina, e te tama ranei a tou whaea, e tau tama ranei, e tau tamahine ranei, e tou hoa wahine ranei i tou uma, e tou hoa ranei e rite ana ki tou ngakau, ki te mea ia, Tatou ka haere, ka mahi ki nga atua ke, kihai nei koe i mohio, a koe, ou matua ranei;

7 Ki etahi o nga atua o nga iwi i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha, e tata ana ki a koe, kei tawhiti atu ranei i a koe, i tetahi pito o te whenua puta noa ki tetahi pito o te whenua;

8 Kei whakaae koe ki a ia, kei whakarongo ranei ki a ia; kaua ano hoki tou kanohi e aroha ki a ia, kaua e tohu i a ia, kaua hoki e huna i a ia:

9 Engari patua rawatia kia mate; ko tou ringa te pa wawe atu ki a ia hei whakamate i a ia, muri iho ko te ringa o te iwi katoa.

10 A me aki ia e koe ki te kohatu, kia mate; mona i whai kia whakapeautia koe i a Ihowa, i tou Atua, i tangohia mai ai koe i te whenua o Ihipa, i te whare pononga.

11 A ka rongo a Iharaira katoa, ka wehi, e kore hoki e mahi i te mea kino pena i tena i roto i a koutou i muri iho.

12 Ki te rongo korero koe mo tetahi o ou pa, e homai e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe hei nohoanga, e korerotia ana,

13 Kua haere atu etahi, he tama na Periara, i roto i a koe, kua whakapeau ke hoki i nga tangata o to ratou pa, kua mea, Tatou ka haere, ka mahi atu ki nga atua ke, kihai nei i mohiotia e koutou;

14 Na me rapu e koe, me ore atu, me te ui marie ano; na, ki te mea he pono, he tuturu rawa te korero, kei te mahia tena mea whakarihariha i roto i a koe;

15 Tukitukia rawatia nga tangata o taua pa ki te mata o te hoari, whakamotitia rawatia a reira, me nga mea katoa i roto, me ana kararehe, ki te mata o te hoari.

16 Ko nga taonga katoa hoki o reira me hoki ki waenganui o tona huarahi, ka tahu ai koe i te pa, me ona taonga katoa, ki te ahi, a rupeke noa, hei mea ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua: me waiho hoki a reira hei puranga mo ake tonu atu; kaua e hanga a muri a ke nei.

17 Kei piri hoki ki tou ringa tetahi wahi o te mea kua oti nei te kanga: kia tahuri mai ai a Ihowa i te muranga o tona riri, ka whakaputa mai he atawhai ki a koe, kia atawhai ai hoki ia i a koe, kia whakanui ai i a koe, kia rite ai ki tana i oati a i ki ou matua;

18 Ina whakarongo koe ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ina pupuri i ana whakahau katoa, e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koe i tenei ra, kia mahi i te mea e tika ana ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tou Atua.

1 `When there ariseth in your midst a prophet, or a dreamer of a dream, and he hath given unto thee a sign or wonder,

2 and the sign and the wonder hath come which he hath spoken of unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods (which thou hast not known), and serve them,

3 thou dost not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or unto that dreamer of the dream, for Jehovah your God is trying you, to know whether ye are loving Jehovah your God with all your heart, and with all your soul;

4 after Jehovah your God ye walk, and Him ye fear, and His commands ye keep, and to His voice ye hearken, and Him ye serve, and to Him ye cleave.

5 `And that prophet, or that dreamer of the dream, is put to death, for he hath spoken apostacy against Jehovah your God (who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, and hath ransomed you out of a house of servants), to drive you out of the way in which Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee to walk, and thou hast put away the evil thing from thy midst.

6 `When thy brother -- son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend who [is] as thine own soul -- doth move thee, in secret, saying, Let us go and serve other gods -- (which thou hast not known, thou and thy fathers,

7 of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about you, who are near unto thee, or who are far off from thee, from the end of the earth even unto the end of the earth) --

8 thou dost not consent to him, nor hearken unto him, nor doth thine eye have pity on him, nor dost thou spare, nor dost thou cover him over.

9 `But thou dost surely kill him; thy hand is on him, in the first place, to put him to death, and the hand of all the people last;

10 and thou hast stoned him with stones, and he hath died, for he hath sought to drive thee away from Jehovah thy God, who is bringing thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;

11 and all Israel do hear and fear, and add not to do like this evil thing in thy midst.

12 `When thou hearest, in one of thy cities which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee to dwell there, [one] saying,

13 Men, sons of worthlessness, have gone out of thy midst, and they force away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known --

14 and thou hast enquired, and searched, and asked diligently, and lo, truth; the thing is established; this abomination hath been done in thy midst:

15 `Thou dost surely smite the inhabitants of that city by the mouth of the sword; devoting it, and all that [is] in it, even its cattle, by the mouth of the sword;

16 and all its spoil thou dost gather unto the midst of its broad place, and hast burned with fire the city and all its spoil completely, before Jehovah thy God, and it hath been a heap age-during, it is not built any more;

17 and there doth not cleave to thy hand any of the devoted thing, so that Jehovah doth turn back from the fierceness of His anger, and hath given to thee mercies, and loved thee, and multiplied thee, as He hath sworn to thy fathers,

18 when thou dost hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep all his commands which I am commanding thee to-day, to do that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.
