< Deuteronomy 22 >

1 If you see your brother’s ox or sheep straying, you must not ignore it; be sure to return it to your brother.
“ʻOua naʻa ke mamata ki he ʻalu hē ʻae pulu pe ko e sipi ʻa ho tokoua, pea fufū koe mei ai: ka te ke toe ʻomi moʻoni ia ki ho tokoua.
2 If your brother does not live near you, or if you do not know who he is, you are to take the animal home to remain with you until your brother comes seeking it; then you can return it to him.
Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai ofi ho tokoua kiate koe, pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo ia, te ke toki ʻomi ia ki ho fale ʻoʻou, pea ʻe ʻiate koe ia ka ʻi heʻene kumi ia ʻe ho tokoua, te ke toki ʻatu ia kiate ia.
3 And you shall do the same for his donkey, his cloak, or anything your brother has lost and you have found. You must not ignore it.
Te ke fai pehē pe ki heʻene ʻasi pea ke fai pehē ki hono kofu: pea ki he ngaahi meʻa liʻaki kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo ne liʻaki, pea kuo ke ʻilo, ke ke fai pehē ni pe: ʻe tapu ʻa hoʻo fufū ʻe koe.
4 If you see your brother’s donkey or ox fallen on the road, you must not ignore it; you must help him lift it up.
“ʻOua naʻa ke mamata ki he ʻasi ʻa ho tokoua pe ko ʻene pulu ʻoku tō ʻi he hala, pea ke fufū koe mei ai: ka te ke tokoni moʻoni ia ke hiki hake.
5 A woman must not wear men’s clothing, and a man must not wear women’s clothing, for whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD your God.
“Ke ʻoua naʻa kofuʻaki ʻe he fefine ʻaia ʻoku kau ki he tangata, pea ʻoua naʻa ʻai ʻe he tangata ʻae kofu fakafefine: he ko kinautolu ʻoku fai pehē ʻoku kovi lahi kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
6 If you come across a bird’s nest with chicks or eggs, either in a tree or on the ground along the road, and the mother is sitting on the chicks or eggs, you must not take the mother along with the young.
“Kapau ʻoku ke ʻilo fakafokifā pe ʻae pununga ʻoe manu, ʻi he hala pe ʻi he ʻakau, pe ʻi he kelekele, pe ko ha ʻuhiki pe ko e foʻi manu, mo e faʻē ʻoku mohe ki hono ʻuhiki, pe ki he foʻi manu, ʻoua naʻa ke puke fakataha ʻae faʻē mo hono ʻuhiki:
7 You may take the young, but be sure to let the mother go, so that it may be well with you and that you may prolong your days.
Ka ke tukuange ʻae faʻē ke ʻalu, pea ke toʻo hono ʻuhiki kiate koe; koeʻuhi ke hoko ai ʻae lelei kiate koe, pea ke fakatolonga ai ho ngaahi ʻaho.
8 If you build a new house, you are to construct a railing around your roof, so that you do not bring bloodguilt on your house if someone falls from it.
“ʻOka ke ka langa ha fale foʻou, te ke ngaohi ki ai hono ʻā ke takatakai ʻi he tuʻafale, telia naʻa ke ʻomi ha toto ki ho fale, ʻokapau ʻe tō ha tangata mei ai.
9 Do not plant your vineyard with two types of seed; if you do, the entire harvest will be defiled —both the crop you plant and the fruit of your vineyard.
“ʻOua naʻa ke tō hoʻo ngoue vaine ʻaki ʻae ngaahi tenga kehekehe: telia naʻa fakahalaʻi ʻae fua ʻo hoʻo tenga ʻaia kuo ke tō, mo e fua ʻo hoʻo vaine.
10 Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.
“ʻOua naʻa ke tauluaʻi fakataha ʻae pulu mo e ʻasi ki he huo toho.
11 Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.
“ʻOua naʻa ke ʻai ʻae kofu ʻoku anga kehekehe, ʻo hangē ko e fulufulu sipi mo e vavae kuo fakataha.
12 You are to make tassels on the four corners of the cloak you wear.
“Ke ke ngaohi kiate koe ʻae ngaahi pao ki ho pulupulu ki hono potu ʻe fā, ʻaia ʻoku fakapulou ʻaki koe.
13 Suppose a man marries a woman, has relations with her, and comes to hate her,
“Kapau ʻoku fili mai ha uaifi ʻe ha tangata pea ʻalu ia kiate ia, pea fehiʻa kiate ia,
14 and he then accuses her of shameful conduct and gives her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman and had relations with her, but I discovered she was not a virgin.”
Pea ʻoku ne fakatupu lau kiate ia ʻo langaʻi ʻae lauʻikovi kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, Ne u fili ʻae fefine ni, pea ʻi heʻeku haʻu kiate ia, naʻaku ʻilo naʻe ʻikai ko e taʻahine ia.
15 Then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring the proof of her virginity to the city elders at the gate
Pea ʻe toki toʻo mai ʻo ʻomi ʻe he tamai mo e faʻē ʻae taʻahine, hono fakaʻilonga ʻo ʻene taʻahine ki he kau mātuʻa ʻi he matapā ʻoe kolo:
16 and say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he has come to hate her.
Pea ʻe pehē ʻe he tamai ʻae taʻahine ki he kau mātuʻa, Ne u foaki ʻeku taʻahine ki he tangata ke na mali, pea ʻoku fehiʻa ia kiate ia.
17 And now he has accused her of shameful conduct, saying, ‘I discovered that your daughter was not a virgin.’ But here is the proof of her virginity.” And they shall spread out the cloth before the city elders.
Pea vakai, kuo ne fakalanga lau kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ʻikai ko e taʻahine ʻa ho ʻofefine: ka ko e moʻoni ko hono fakaʻilonga eni ʻo ʻene taʻahine. Pea tenau folahi atu ʻae holo ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo.
18 Then the elders of that city shall take the man and punish him.
Pea ʻe ʻave ʻe he kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo ko ia ʻae tangata ko ia ʻo tautea ia:
19 They are also to fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given a virgin of Israel a bad name. And she shall remain his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.
Pea kenau fakamaaua ia ke totongiʻaki ʻa e [sikeli ]siliva ʻe teau, ʻo ʻatu ia ki he tamai ʻae fefine, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene langaʻi ʻae lau kovi ki he taʻahine ʻi ʻIsileli: pea ʻe hoko ia ko hono uaifi; ʻe ʻikai ngofua ke ne tukuange ia ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē.
20 If, however, this accusation is true, and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found,
Pea kapau ʻoku moʻoni ʻae meʻa ni, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga ʻoe taʻahine ki he fefine:
21 she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house, and there the men of her city will stone her to death. For she has committed an outrage in Israel by being promiscuous in her father’s house. So you must purge the evil from among you.
Tenau toki ʻomi kituʻa ʻae fefine mei he matapā ʻoe fale ʻo ʻene tamai, pea ʻe tolongaki ia ʻe he kau tangata ʻo hono kolo ʻaki ʻae maka ke mate ia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fai angakovi ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻo fai feʻauaki ʻi he fale ʻo ʻene tamai: ʻe pehē pe hoʻo tukuange ʻae kovi meiate kimoutolu.
22 If a man is found lying with another man’s wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel.
“Kapau ʻe ʻilo ha tangata ʻoku mohe ia mo e fefine kuo mali husepāniti, ʻe mate fakatouʻosi ai ʻakinaua, ʻae tangata naʻe mohe mo e fefine, pea mo e fefine: ʻe pehē pe hoʻo tukuange ʻae kovi mei ʻIsileli.
23 If there is a virgin pledged in marriage to a man, and another man encounters her in the city and sleeps with her,
“Kapau ʻoku poloʻi ha taʻahine ko e tāupoʻou ki ha tangata, pea maʻu ia ʻe ha tangata ʻi he kolo, pea mohe mo ia;
24 you must take both of them out to the gate of that city and stone them to death—the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he has violated his neighbor’s wife. So you must purge the evil from among you.
Te mou toki ʻomi ʻakinaua kituʻa ki he matapā ʻoe kolo, pea te mou tolongaki ʻaki ʻakinaua ʻae maka ke na mate: ʻae fefine, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai kalanga ia, ka kuo ne ʻi he kolo; mo e tangata ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fakahalaʻi ʻae uaifi ʻo hono kaungāʻapi: ʻe pehē pe hoʻo tukuange ʻae kovi meiate kimoutolu.
25 But if the man encounters a betrothed woman in the open country, and he overpowers her and lies with her, only the man who has done this must die.
“Pea kapau ʻoku maʻu ʻi he ngoue ʻe ha tangata ʻae taʻahine poloʻi, pea tohotoho ia, pea mohe mo ia: ko e tangata pe naʻe mohe mo ia ʻe mate:
26 Do nothing to the young woman, because she has committed no sin worthy of death. This case is just like one in which a man attacks his neighbor and murders him.
Ka ʻe ʻikai te ke fai ha meʻa ki he taʻahine; ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he taʻahine ha angahala ke mate ai ia: ka ʻoku hangē ko e tuʻu hake ha tangata ki hono kaungāʻapi, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ia, ʻoku pehē pe ʻae meʻa ni:
27 When he found her in the field, the betrothed woman cried out, but there was no one to save her.
He naʻa ne maʻu ia ʻi he ngoue, pea naʻe kalanga ʻae taʻahine poloʻi, ka naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha ke fakamoʻui ia.
28 If a man encounters a virgin who is not pledged in marriage, and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are discovered,
“Kapau ʻoku maʻu ʻe ha tangata ha taʻahine ko e tāupoʻou, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai poloʻi, pea puke ia, pea mohe mo ia, pea kuo ʻilo ʻakinaua;
29 then the man who lay with her must pay the young woman’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she must become his wife because he has violated her. He must not divorce her as long as he lives.
Pehē ʻe ʻatu ʻe he tangata naʻe mohe mo ia ki he tamai ʻae taʻahine ʻa e [sikeli ]siliva ʻe nimangofulu; pea ʻe hoko [ʻae fefine ]ko ia ko hono uaifi: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fakahalaʻi ia, ʻoku ʻikai lelei ʻene tukuange ia lolotonga ʻa ʻene moʻui kotoa pē.
30 A man is not to marry his father’s wife, so that he will not dishonor his father’s marriage bed.
Ke ʻoua naʻa mali ha tangata mo e uaifi ʻo ʻene tamai pe fakatelefua ʻene tamai.
