JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying: 'Keep all the commandment which I command you this day.
1Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, “Tauhi ʻae ngaahi fekau kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni.
2And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over the Jordan unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster.
2Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te mou ʻalu ai ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, te ke fokotuʻu ai ʻae ngaahi maka lahi maʻau, pea ke ʻaofi ʻaki ia ʻae lahe:
3And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over; that thou mayest go in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of thy fathers, hath promised thee.
3Pea te ke tohi ki ai ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni, ʻoka hili hoʻo hoko ki he kauvai, koeʻuhi ke ke ʻalu ʻo hoko ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko e fonua ʻoku mahutāfea ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo talaʻofa kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamai.
4And it shall be when ye are passed over the Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster.
4Ko ia ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi hoʻomou ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, te mou fokotuʻu ʻae ngaahi maka ni, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku fekau kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni, ʻi he moʻunga ko Ipale, pea te ke ʻaofi ʻaki ia ʻae lahe.
5And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an altar of stones; thou shalt lift up no iron tool upon them.
5Pea te ke fokotuʻu ʻi ai ʻae feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko e feilaulauʻanga maka: ʻoua naʻa ke hiki ki ai ha toki ukamea.
6Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of unhewn stones; and thou shalt offer burnt-offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God.
6Ke ke fokotuʻu ʻae feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae ngaahi foʻi maka kotoa: pea te ke ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua:
7And thou shalt sacrifice peace-offerings, and shalt eat there; and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God.
7Pea te ke ʻatu ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, pea ke kai ʻi ai, pea ke fiefia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
8And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.'
8Pea te ke tohi ki he ngaahi maka ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni ke ʻilongofua.”
9And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke unto all Israel, saying: 'Keep silence, and hear, O Israel; this day thou art become a people unto the LORD thy God.
9¶ Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese mo e kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻIsileli ke ke vakai, mo ke tokanga; kuo ke hoko he ʻaho ni ko e kakai ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
10Thou shalt therefore hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and do His commandments and His statutes, which I command thee this day.'
10Ko ia ke ke fai talangofua ai ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea fai ki heʻene ngaahi fekau mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni.”
11And Moses charged the people the same day, saying:
11¶ Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ki he kakai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo pehē,
12'These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are passed over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin;
12“Ko kinautolu eni ʻe tuʻu ʻi he moʻunga ko Kelisimi ke tāpuakiʻi ʻae kakai, ʻi hoʻomou hoko atu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani; ko Simione, mo Livai, mo Siuta, mo ʻIsaka, mo Siosefa, mo Penisimani:
13and these shall stand upon mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
13Pea ko kinautolu eni ʻe tuʻu ʻi he moʻunga ko Ipale ke fakamalaʻia; ko Lupeni, mo Kata, mo ʻAseli, mo Sepuloni, mo Tani, mo Nafitali.
14And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice:
14Pea ʻe lea ʻae kau Livai, ʻo tala ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi ki he kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli,
15Cursed be the man that maketh a graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and setteth it up in secret. And all the people shall answer and say: Amen.
15ʻE malaʻia ʻae tangata ʻaia ʻoku ne ngaohi ha meʻa fakatātā kuo tā pe haka, ko e meʻa fakalielia kia Sihova, ko e ngāue ʻae nima ʻoe tufunga, pea ʻoku ne tuku ia ʻi he potu lilo. Pea ʻe tali ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo pehē, ʻEmeni.
