Deuteronomy 25
1 If there is a dispute between men, they are to go to court to be judged, so that the innocent may be acquitted and the guilty condemned.
Ki te mea he tautohe ta etahi, a ka haere mai kia whakawakia, a ka whakawakia e nga kaiwhakariterite; me whakatika e ratou ta te tika, me whakahe ta te he;
2 If the guilty man deserves to be beaten, the judge shall have him lie down and be flogged in his presence with the number of lashes his crime warrants.
A, ki te meinga te tangata kino kia whiua, na me mea ia e te kaiwhakariterite kia takoto, kia whiua ki mua i tona aroaro, kia rite ki tona kino te maha o nga whiu.
3 He may receive no more than forty lashes, lest your brother be beaten any more than that and be degraded in your sight.
Kia wha tekau ana whakapanga ki a ia, kaua e maha ake: he mea hoki, ki te tuhene, a ka maha atu i enei nga whakapanga, na ka iti tou teina ki tau titiro.
4 Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.
Kaua e whakamokatia te kau ina takahia e ia te witi.
5 When brothers dwell together and one of them dies without a son, the widow must not marry outside the family. Her husband’s brother is to take her as his wife and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law for her.
Ki te noho tahi te taina me te tuakana, a ka mate tetahi o raua, a kahore ana tama, kaua te wahine a te tangata i mate e marenatia ki waho, ki te tangata ke; me haere tona autane ki a ia, ka tango ai i a ia hei wahine mana, me mea ki a ia nga mea e tika ana ma te autane.
6 The first son she bears will carry on the name of the dead brother, so that his name will not be blotted out from Israel.
A, ka whanau tana matamua, ko ia hei whakarerenga iho mo te ingoa o tona tuakana, teina ranei, i mate nei, a ka kore tona ingoa e horoia atu i roto i a Iharaira.
7 But if the man does not want to marry his brother’s widow, she is to go to the elders at the city gate and say, “My husband’s brother refuses to preserve his brother’s name in Israel. He is not willing to perform the duty of a brother-in-law for me.”
Ki te kahore taua tangata e pai ki te tango i tona auwahine, katahi ka haere tona auwahine ki te kuwaha, ki nga kaumatua, a ka mea, E kore toku autane e pai ki te whakatupu ingoa mo tona tuakana, teina ranei, i roto i a Iharaira, e kore e meatia e ia nga mea e tika ana ma toku autane.
8 Then the elders of his city shall summon him and speak with him. If he persists and says, “I do not want to marry her,”
Katahi ka karangatia ia e nga kaumatua o tona pa, a ka korero ratou ki a ia; a, ki te u tonu tana, a ka mea ia, E kore ahau e pai ki te tango i a ia;
9 his brother’s widow shall go up to him in the presence of the elders, remove his sandal, spit in his face, and declare, “This is what is done to the man who will not maintain his brother’s line.”
Katahi ka whakatata tona auwahine ki a ia i te tirohanga a nga kaumatua, a ka unu i tona hu i tona waewae, ka tuwha hoki ki tona mata, a ka korero ake, ka mea, Kia peneitia te tangata e kore e hanga i te whare o tona tuakana, teina ranei.
10 And his family name in Israel will be called “The House of the Unsandaled.”
A ka huaina tona ingoa i roto i a Iharaira, Ko te whare o te tangata i unuhia nei tona hu.
11 If two men are fighting, and the wife of one steps in to rescue her husband from the one striking him, and she reaches out her hand and grabs his genitals,
Ki te whawhai etahi tangata ki a raua, a ka whakatata te wahine a tetahi ki te whakaora i tana tahu i te tangata e patu ana i a ia, a ka totoro tona ringa, ka mau hoki ki ona wahi ngaro;
12 you are to cut off her hand. You must show her no pity.
Me tapahi atu e koe tona ringa, kaua e tohu tou kanohi.
13 You shall not have two differing weights in your bag, one heavy and one light.
Kaua e waiho i roto i tau kete nga kohatu pauna e kore e taurite, te mea nui, te mea iti.
14 You shall not have two differing measures in your house, one large and one small.
Kaua e waiho i roto i tou whare nga mehua e kore e taurite, te mea nui, te mea iti.
15 You must maintain accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
Hei te mea rite tonu, hei te mea tika, tau kohatu pauna; hei te mea rite tonu, hei te mea tika, tau mehua: kia roa ai ou ra ki te whenua e homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe.
16 For everyone who behaves dishonestly in regard to these things is detestable to the LORD your God.
He mea whakarihariha hoki ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, te hunga katoa e pena ana, te hunga katoa e he ana te mahi.
17 Remember what the Amalekites did to you along your way from Egypt,
Kia mahara ki ta Amareke i mea ai ki a koe i te ara, i to koutou putanga mai i Ihipa;
18 how they met you on your journey when you were tired and weary, and they attacked all your stragglers; they had no fear of God.
Ki tona tutakitanga ki a koe ki te ara, a patua iho tou hiku e ia, nga mea ngoikore katoa i muri i a koe, i a koe e hemo ana, e ngenge ana; a kihai ia i wehi ki te Atua.
19 When the LORD your God gives you rest from the enemies around you in the land that He is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you are to blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget!
Mo reira e meinga koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, kia okioki i ou hoariri katoa a tawhio noa, ki te whenua e homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe kia nohoia hei kainga tupu, me ukui rawa atu te maharatanga ki a Amareke i raro i te rangi; kei warewar e rawa koe.
