Teutalonome 7

1“When the LORD your God brings you into the land that you are entering to take possession of it, and clears away many nations before you, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations more numerous and mightier than yourselves,

1“ʻOKA ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai ke maʻu ia, pea kuo kapusi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi kakai mei ho ʻao, ko e kau Heti, mo e kau Keakasa, mo e kau ʻAmoli, mo e kau Kēnani, mo e kau Pelesi, mo e kau Hevi, mo e kau Sepusi, ko e puleʻanga ʻe fitu ʻoku lahi hake mo mālohi lahi ʻiate koe;

2and when the LORD your God gives them over to you, and you defeat them, then you must devote them to complete destruction. You shall make no covenant with them and show no mercy to them.

2Pea ka tuku mai ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi ho ʻao; te ke taaʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu; ʻoua naʻa mou fai ha fuakava mo kinautolu, pe fakahā ha angaʻofa kiate kinautolu:

3You shall not intermarry with them, giving your daughters to their sons or taking their daughters for your sons,

3Pea ʻoua naʻa mou femaliʻaki mo kinautolu; ʻoua naʻa ke ʻatu ho ʻofefine ki hono foha, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fili hono ʻofefine ki ho foha.

4for they would turn away your sons from following me, to serve other gods. Then the anger of the LORD would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly.

4He tenau fakatafoki ho foha mei he muimui ʻiate au, kenau tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe: ko ia ʻe tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova kiate kimoutolu, ke fakaʻauha fakafokifā pe koe.

5But thus shall you deal with them: you shall break down their altars and dash in pieces their pillars and chop down their Asherim and burn their carved images with fire.

5Ka te mou fai pehē kiate kinautolu; ke mou maumauʻi honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea fesiʻi hifo ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakatātā, pea tā hifo ʻenau ngaahi vao tapu, pea tutu honau ngaahi tamapua ʻi he afi.

6“For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.

6He ko e kakai māʻoniʻoni koe kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: kuo fili koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke hoko ko e kakai ʻofeina kiate ia, ʻi he kakai kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he funga ʻo māmani.

7It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the LORD set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples,

7Naʻe ʻikai fakahoko ʻe Sihova ʻene ʻofa kiate kimoutolu, pe fili ʻakimoutolu, koeʻuhi ko homou tokolahi hake ʻi he kakai kotoa pē; he naʻa mou tokosiʻi hifo ʻi he kakai kotoa pē:

8but it is because the LORD loves you and is keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers, that the LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

8Ka ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻofa ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu, pea koeʻuhi ko hono finangalo ke fakamoʻoni ʻae fuakava ʻaia naʻa ne fuakava ʻaki ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ko ia kuo ne ʻomi ai kituaʻā ʻakimoutolu ʻi he nima māfimafi, ʻo ne huhuʻi ʻakimoutolu mei he fale ʻoe kau pōpula, mei he nima ʻo Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite.

9Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,

9Ko ia ke ke ʻilo ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ia, ko e ʻOtua angatonu, ʻaia ʻoku ne tauhi ʻae fuakava mo e ʻaloʻofa mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate ia, pea fai ki heʻene ngaahi fekau, ʻo aʻu atu ki he toʻutangata laui afe;

10and repays to their face those who hate him, by destroying them. He will not be slack with one who hates him. He will repay him to his face.

10Pea ʻoku totongi ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate ia ki honau mata, ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu: ʻe ʻikai fai tuai ia kiate ia ʻoku ne fehiʻa kiate ia, ʻe totongi ʻe ia kiate ia ki hono mata.

11You shall therefore be careful to do the commandment and the statutes and the rules that I command you today.

11Ko ia ke ke tauhi ʻe koe ʻae ngaahi fekau, mo e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo e ngaahi fakamaau, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni, ke fai ki ai.

12“And because you listen to these rules and keep and do them, the LORD your God will keep with you the covenant and the steadfast love that he swore to your fathers.

12“Pea ko ia, ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻo kapau te mou tokanga ki he ngaahi fakamaau ni, pea tauhi, pea fai ki ai, ʻe fai kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae fuakava mo e ʻaloʻofa ʻaia naʻa ne fuakava ai ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai;

13He will love you, bless you, and multiply you. He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your wine and your oil, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock, in the land that he swore to your fathers to give you.

13Pea te ne ʻofa ʻe ia kiate koe, pea tāpuakiʻi koe, mo ne fakatokolahi koe: pea ʻe tāpuaki ʻe ia ʻae fua ʻo ho manāva, mo e fua ʻo ho fonua, ʻa hoʻo uite, mo hoʻo uaine, mo hoʻo lolo, mo e fanafanau ʻa hoʻo fanga manu, mo hoʻo ngaahi fanga sipi, ʻi he fonua ʻaia naʻa ne fuakava ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai ke foaki kiate koe.

14You shall be blessed above all peoples. There shall not be male or female barren among you or among your livestock.

14‌ʻE monūʻia lahi hake koe ʻi he kakai kotoa pē: ʻe ʻikai paʻa ha tangata pe ha fefine ʻiate kimoutolu, pe ʻi hoʻomou fanga manu.

15And the LORD will take away from you all sickness, and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you knew, will he inflict on you, but he will lay them on all who hate you.

15Pea ʻe toʻo ʻe Sihova ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi mahaki kotoa pē, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻai kiate koe ha mahaki kovi ʻe taha ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi; ka te ne hilifaki ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate koe.

16And you shall consume all the peoples that the LORD your God will give over to you. Your eye shall not pity them, neither shall you serve their gods, for that would be a snare to you.

16Pea te ke fakaʻauha ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻaia ʻe tukuange kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua; ke ʻoua siʻi naʻa ʻofa ho mata kiate kinautolu: pea ʻoua naʻa ke tauhi honau ngaahi ʻotua; he tenau hoko ko e tauhele kiate koe.

17“If you say in your heart, ‘These nations are greater than I. How can I dispossess them?’

17Kapau ʻoku ke lau ʻi ho loto, ʻOku tokolahi hake ʻae ngaahi kakai ni ʻiate au; ʻe fēfeeʻi ʻeku faʻa kapusi ʻakinautolu?

18you shall not be afraid of them but you shall remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt,

18‌ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē kiate kinautolu: ka ke manatu lelei pe ki he meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kia Felo, pea ki ʻIsipite kotoa pē.

19the great trials that your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which the LORD your God brought you out. So will the LORD your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.

19Ko e ʻahiʻahi lahi naʻe mamata ki ai ʻe ho mata, mo e ngaahi fakaʻilonga, mo e ngaahi meʻa mana, mo e toukupu māfimafi, mo e nima kuo mafao, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ai koe kituʻa ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ʻe fai pehē pe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ke manavahē ki ai.

20Moreover, the LORD your God will send hornets among them, until those who are left and hide themselves from you are destroyed.

20Pea ʻe fekau foki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae fanga langomū kiate kinautolu, kaeʻoua ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻoku toe, ʻonau fufū ʻakinautolu meiate koe.

21You shall not be in dread of them, for the LORD your God is in your midst, a great and awesome God.

21‌ʻE ʻikai te ke manavahē koe kiate kinautolu: he ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ko e ʻOtua māfimafi mo fakamanavahē.

22The LORD your God will clear away these nations before you little by little. You may not make an end of them at once, lest the wild beasts grow too numerous for you.

22Pea ʻe kapusi ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi kakai na mei ho ʻao ʻo faifai mālie pe: ʻoua naʻa ke fakaʻauha leva ʻakinautolu, telia naʻa tupu ʻo lahi kiate koe ʻae fanga manu fekai ʻoe vao.

23But the LORD your God will give them over to you and throw them into great confusion, until they are destroyed.

23Ka ʻe tuku mai ʻakinautolu kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi he fakaʻauha lahi, kaeʻoua kenau ʻauha.

24And he will give their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name perish from under heaven. No one shall be able to stand against you until you have destroyed them.

24Pea ʻe tukuange ʻe ia honau ngaahi tuʻi ki ho nima, pea te ke fakaʻauha honau hingoa mei he lalo langi: ʻe ʻikai faʻa tuʻu ha tangata ʻi ho ʻao, kaeʻoua ke ʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻiate koe.

25The carved images of their gods you shall burn with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, lest you be ensnared by it, for it is an abomination to the LORD your God.

25Ke mou tutuʻaki ʻae afi ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakatātā kuo tā ʻo ʻenau ngaahi ʻotua: ʻoua naʻa ke holi ki he siliva pe ko e koula ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu, pea toʻo ia kiate koe, telia naʻa heleʻi ai koe: he koe meʻa fakalielia ia kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

26And you shall not bring an abominable thing into your house and become devoted to destruction like it. You shall utterly detest and abhor it, for it is devoted to destruction.

26Pea ʻoua naʻa ke ʻomi ʻae meʻa fakalielia ki ho fale, telia naʻa ke hoko ko e meʻa malaʻia ʻo hangē ko ia: ka ke fehiʻa matemate ki ai, pea ke fakaliliʻa ki ai he ko e meʻa fakamalaʻia ia.
