1 Na ka whakahau a Mohi ratou ko nga kaumatua o Iharaira i te iwi, ka mea, Puritia nga whakahau katoa e whakahau nei ahau ki a koutou i tenei ra.

2 A, tenei ake, a te ra e whiti atu ai koutou i Horano ki te whenua e homai ana e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe, na, ka whakaara ake koe i etahi kohatu nunui mau, ka pani hoki ki te raima:

3 Ka tuhituhi hoki i nga kupu katoa o tenei ture ki reira, ua whiti atu koe; kia haere atu koe ki te whenua e homai ana e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe, ki te whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi, kia pera me ta Ihowa, me ta te Atua o ou matua, i korero ai ki a koe.

4 Mo reira, e whiti koutou i Horano, me whakaara enei kohatu e whakahaua nei e ahau i tenei ra ki a koutou, ki runga ki Maunga Epara ka pani hoki ki te raima.

5 A me hanga e koe ki reira tetahi aata ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua, hei te aata kohatu; kaua e akina iho e koe ki te rino.

6 Me hanga e koe te aata ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua, ki nga kohatu toitu: ka whakaeke ai i nga tahunga tinana ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua, ki runga:

7 Patua hoki nga whakahere mo te pai, a kainga ki reira; me te koa ano ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua.

8 Ka tuhituhi hoki i nga kupu o tenei ture ki nga kohatu, kia marama tonu.

9 I korero ano a Mohi ratou ko nga tohunga, ko nga Riwaiti, ki a Iharaira, i mea, Noho puku mai, a whakarongo, e Iharaira; no tenei ra i meinga ai koe hei iwi mo Ihowa, mo tou Atua.

10 Na me whakarongo koe ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, me mahi hoki i ana whakahau, me ana tikanga e whakahaua atu nei e ahau ki a koe i tenei ra.

11 I whakahau hoki a Mohi i te iwi i taua rangi ano, i mea,

12 Ko enei e tu ki runga ki Maunga Keritimi hei manaaki i te iwi, ua whiti atu koutou i Horano; ko Himiona, ko Riwai, ko Hura, ko Ihakara, ratou ko Hohepa, ko Pineamine:

13 Ko enei e tu ki runga ki Maunga Epara hei kanga; ko Reupena, ko Kara, ko Ahera, ko Hepurona, ko Rana, ko Napatari.

14 Na ka korero nga Riwaiti, ka mea, kia nui hoki te reo, ki nga tangata katoa o Iharaira.

15 Kia kanga te tangata e hanga ana i te whakapakoko, i te mea whakairo, whakarewa ranei, e whakariharihangia nei e Ihowa, he mea mahi na te ringa o te kaimahi, e whakanoho ana hoki i taua mea ki te wahi ngaro. Ma te iwi katoa e whakahoki, e mea, A mine.

16 Kia kanga te tangata e whakahawea ana ki tona papa, ki tona whaea ranei. Ma te iwi katoa e whakahoki, e mea, Amine.

17 Kia kanga a tangata e neke atu ana i te rohe o tona hoa. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

18 Kia kanga te tangata e whakapohehe ana i te matapo ki te huarahi. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

19 Kia kanga te tangata e whakaputa ke ana i te whakawa mo te manene, mo te pani, mo te pouaru. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

20 Kia kanga te tangata e moe ana ki te wahine a tona papa; mona i hura i te remu o tona papa. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

21 Kia kanga te tangata e moe ana ki tetahi kararehe. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

22 Kia kanga te tangata e moe ana ki tona tuahine, ki te tamahine a tona papa, ki te tamahine ranei a tona whaea. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

23 Kia kanga te tangata e moe ana ki tona hungawai wahine. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

24 Kia kanga te tangata e patu puku ana i tona hoa. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

25 Kia kanga te tangata e tango ana i te utu mo te patunga o te tangata harakore. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

26 Kia kanga te tangata e kore e mau i a ia nga kupu o tenei ture, hei mahi mana. Ma te iwi katoa e mea, Amine.

1 `And Moses -- the elders of Israel also -- commandeth the people, saying, Keep all the command which I am commanding you to-day;

2 and it hath been, in the day that ye pass over the Jordan unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, that thou hast raised up for thee great stones, and plaistered them with plaister,

3 and written on them all the words of this law in thy passing over, so that thou goest in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee -- a land flowing with milk and honey, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee.

4 `And it hath been, in your passing over the Jordan, ye raise up these stones which I am commanding you to-day, in mount Ebal, and thou hast plaistered them with plaister,

5 and built there an altar to Jehovah thy God, an altar of stones, thou dost not wave over them iron.

6 Of complete stones thou buildest the altar of Jehovah thy God, and hast caused to ascend on it burnt-offerings to Jehovah thy God,

7 and sacrificed peace-offerings, and eaten there, and rejoiced before Jehovah thy God,

8 and written on the stones all the words of this law, well engraved.`

9 And Moses speaketh -- the priests, the Levites, also -- unto all Israel, saying, `Keep silent, and hear, O Israel, this day thou hast become a people to Jehovah thy God;

10 and thou hast hearkened to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and done His commands, and His statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day.`

11 And Moses commandeth the people on that day, saying,

12 `These do stand, to bless the people, on mount Gerizzim, in your passing over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin.

13 And these do stand, for the reviling, on mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

14 `And the Levites have answered and said unto every man of Israel -- a loud voice:

15 `Cursed [is] the man who maketh a graven and molten image, the abomination of Jehovah, work of the hands of an artificer, and hath put [it] in a secret place, -- and all the people have answered and said, Amen.

16 `Cursed [is] He who is making light of his father and his mother, -- and all the people have said, Amen.

17 `Cursed [is] he who is removing his neighbour`s border, -- and all the people have said, Amen.

18 `Cursed [is] he who is causing the blind to err in the way, -- and all the people have said, Amen.

19 `Cursed [is] he who is turning aside the judgment of fatherless, sojourner, and widow, -- and all the people have said, Amen.

20 `Cursed [is] he who is lying with his father`s wife, for he hath uncovered his father`s skirt, -- and all the people have said, Amen.

21 `Cursed [is] he who is lying with any beast, -- and all the people have said, Amen.

22 `Cursed [is] he who is lying with his sister, daughter of his father, or daughter of his mother, -- and all the people have said, Amen.

23 `Cursed [is] he who is lying with his mother-in-law, -- and all the people have said, Amen.

24 `Cursed [is] he who is smiting his neighbour in secret, -- and all the people have said, Amen.

25 `Cursed [is] he who is taking a bribe to smite a person, innocent blood, -- and all the people have said, Amen.

26 `Cursed [is] he who doth not establish the words of this law, to do them, -- and all the people have said, Amen.
