Te Whakahau Nui
1 Nā, ko te whakahau tēnei – ko ngā tikanga me ngā whakaritenga – i whakahaua mai e Ihowā, e tō koutou Atua, kia whakaakona atu ki a koutou, hei mahi mā koutou ki te whenua e haere atu nei koutou ki reira ki te tango. 2 Kia wehi ai koe i a Ihowā, i tōu Atua, kia puritia ai āna tikanga katoa, me āna whakahau e whakahaua nei e ahau ki a koe, e koe, e tāu tama, e te tama hoki a tāu tama, i ngā rā katoa e ora ai koe; kia roa ai hoki ōu rā. 3 Nā, whakarongo, e Īharaira, kia mahara hoki kia mahia ēnei mea, kia whiwhi ai koe ki te pai, kia nui rawa ai hoki koutou, kia pērā ai me tā Ihowā, me tā te Atua o ōu mātua i kōrero ai ki a koe, ki te whenua e rerengia ana e te waiū, e te honi.
4 Whakarongo, e Īharaira: Ko Ihowā, ko tō tātou Atua, he Ihowā kotahi; 5 ā, me whakapau katoa tōu ngākau, tōu wairua, tōu kaha ki te aroha ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua. 6 Hei roto anō i tōu ngākau ēnei kupu e whakahau atu nei ahau ki a koe i tēnei rā. 7 Whakaakona mārietia atu hoki ki āu tamariki, kōrerotia i a koe e noho ana i tōu whare, i a koe e haere ana i te huarahi, i a koe e takoto ana, i tōu aranga ake hoki. 8 Me here e koe hei tohu ki tōu ringa, hei pare anō ēnā mea ki waenganui o ōu kanohi. 9 Tuhituhia anō hoki ki ngā pou tatau o tōu whare, ki ōu tatau hoki.
He Tūpato ki te Whakaponokore
10 Ā, ā mua ake nei, ina kawea koe e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki te whenua i oati ai ia ki ōu mātua, ki a Āperahama, ki a Īhaka, ki a Hākopa, ā, ka hōmai e ia ki a koe he pā nunui, papai, kīhai nei i hangā e koe, 11 he whare kī tonu i ngā mea papai katoa, kīhai nei i whakakīia e koe, he poka wai oti rawa te keri, kīhai i keria e koe, he māra wāina, he ōriwa, kīhai nei i whakatōkia e koe; ā, ka kai koe, ka mākona; 12 kia tūpato ki a koe i reira, kei wareware ki a Ihowā, nāna nei koe i whakaputa mai i te whenua o Īhipa, i te whare pononga.
13 Ko Ihowā, ko tōu Atua tāu e wehi ai, me mahi anō hoki ki a ia, ko tōna ingoa hoki hei oatitanga māu. 14 Kei whai ki ngā atua kē, o ngā atua o ngā tauiwi i tētahi taha o koutou, i tētahi taha; 15 he Atua hae hoki a Ihowā, tōu Atua i waenganui i a koe; kei mura te riri o Ihowā, o tōu Atua ki a koe, ā, ka ngaro koe i te mata o te whenua.
16 Kei whakamātautau i a Ihowā, i tō koutou Atua, me koutou rā i whakamātautau i a ia i Maha. 17 Puritia mārietia ngā whakahau a Ihowā, a tō koutou Atua, me āna whakaatu, me āna tikanga, i whakahaua mai nei e ia ki a koe. 18 Mahia hoki te mea tika, te mea pai ki te aroaro o Ihowā; kia whiwhi ai koe ki te pai, kia tae atu ai, kia noho ai ki te whenua pai i oatitia e Ihowā ki ōu mātua, 19 kia peia ai ōu hoariri katoa i tōu aroaro, kia rite ai ki tā Ihowā i kī ai.
20 Ā, ki te ui tāu tama ki a koe ā mua, ki te mea, “Hei aha ngā whakaatu, me ngā tikanga, me ngā whakaritenga, i whakahaua mai nei e Ihowā, e tō tātou Atua, ki a koutou?” 21 Nā, ka mea atu koe ki tāu tama, “He pononga mātou nā Parao i Īhipa; ā, he kaha te ringa i whakaputaina mai ai mātou e Ihowā i Īhipa. 22 Ā, whakakitea mai ana e Ihowā he tohu, he merekara, he nui, he nanakia ki Īhipa, ki a Parao, ki tōna whare katoa, me te titiro anō mātou; 23 ā, whakaputaina mai ana mātou e ia i reira, kia kawea mai ai mātou, kia hōmai ai e ia te whenua i oati ai ia ki ō tātou mātua. 24 Ā, whakahaua ana tātou e Ihowā kia mahia ēnei tikanga katoa, kia wehi i a Ihowā, i tō tātou Atua, hei pai mō tātou i ngā rā katoa, kia whakaorangia ai tātou e ia, kia pēnei ai i tēnei ināianei. 25 Ā, hei tika mō tātou ki te mau te mahi i ēnei whakahau katoa ki te aroaro o Ihowā, o tō tātou Atua, ki te pērā me tāna i whakahau ai ki a tātou.”
