TSK · Tiuteronomi 7:8

A i te mutunga o nga tau e wha rau e toru tekau, i taua ra pu ano, na, ka puta nga mano katoa o Ihowa i te whenua o Ihipa.

A, tenei ake, ki te ui tau tama ki a koe a mua, ki te mea, He aha tenei? Na ka mea ki a ia, He kaha te ringa i whakaputaina mai ai matou e Ihowa i Ihipa, i te whare pononga:

Kia mahara ki au pononga, ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Iharaira, ki tau oatitanga hoki i a koe ki a ratou, ki tau meatanga ki a ratou, Ka whakanuia e ahau o koutou uri kia rite ki nga whetu o te rangi; ko tenei whenua katoa hoki i korerotia atu nei e ahau, ka hoatu e ahau ki o koutou uri, a ka nohoia e ratou ake ake.

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.

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;

Kei korero koe i roto i tou ngakau, ua pei a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a ratou i tou raorao, kei mea, He tika noku i kawe mai ai a Ihowa i ahau ki te tango i tenei whenua; kahore, no te kino o enei iwi i pei ai a Ihowa i a ratou i tou aroaro.

Kei whai koe kia mau te rongo ki a ratou, kia kake ranei ratou i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe.

E kore hoki a Ihowa e whakarere i tana iwi, ka mahara ia ki tona ingoa nui; kua pai nei hoki a Ihowa ki te mea i a koutou hei iwi mana.

Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, tou Atua i whakaahuareka nei ki a koe, i homai nei i a koe ki runga ki te torona o Iharaira; he aroha mau tonu hoki no Ihowa ki a Iharaira, na meinga ana koe e ia hei kingi, hei nahi i te whakawa, i te tika.

Ehara hoki i te mea, na ta ratou hoari i whiwhi ai ratou ki te whenua, ehara to ratou takakau i te mea i ora ai ratou: engari na tou matau, na tou takakau hoki, na te marama ano o tou mata, he pai hoki nou ki a ratou.

¶ Mahara tonu ia ki tana kawenata ake ake, ki te kupu i kiia iho e ia ki te mano o nga whakatupuranga.

I te mea he taonga nui koe ki taku titiro, he mea e whakahonoretia ana, a i arohaina koe e ahau; mo reira ka hoatu e ahau he tangata mo tou turanga, he iwi hoki hei utu mou kia ora.

I puta mai a Ihowa ki ahau i mua noa atu, i mea mai, Ae ra, he aroha pumau toku i aroha ai ahau ki a koe: na reira te atawhai i kukume ai ahau i a koe.

Ae ra, e Pa; i pai hoki te penei ki tau titiro.

Hei whakaputa i te mahi tohu ki o tatou tupuna, hei whakamahara ki tana kawenata tapu;

¶ Tika tonu ia kia whakawhetai atu matou ki te Atua mo koutou i nga wa katoa, e oku teina e arohaina nei e te Ariki, he mea whiriwhiri na hoki koutou na te Atua no te timatanga ra ano mo te ora, i runga i te whakatapu a te Wairua, i runga ano i te whakapono ki te pono;

I ta te Atua whakaaringa mea ki a Aperahama, i te mea kahore tetahi i nui ake hei oatitanga, ka oatitia e ia a ia ake ano,
