Exodus 22
1 “If a man steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters or sells it, he must repay five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.
Ki te tahae te tangata i te kau, i te hipi ranei, a ka patua, ka hokona ranei e ia; kia rima nga kau e homai e ia hei utu mo te kau kotahi, kia wha hoki nga hipi mo te hipi kotahi.
2 If a thief is caught breaking in and is beaten to death, no one shall be guilty of bloodshed.
Ki te mau te tahae e poka ara ana, a ka patua, ka mate, kahore he toto e heke mona.
3 But if it happens after sunrise, there is guilt for his bloodshed. A thief must make full restitution; if he has nothing, he himself shall be sold for his theft.
Ki te mea kua whiti te ra ki a ia, ka heke he toto mona; me homai hoki e ia he utu; ki te kahore ana mea, na, me hoko ia mo tana tahae.
4 If what was stolen is actually found alive in his possession—whether ox or donkey or sheep—he must pay back double.
Ki te mau pu ki tona ringa te mea i tahaetia, he kau, he kaihe ranei, he hipi ranei, a e ora ana; kia rua nga utu e homai e ia.
5 If a man grazes his livestock in a field or vineyard and allows them to stray so that they graze in someone else’s field, he must make restitution from the best of his own field or vineyard.
Ki te mea tetahi tangata kia kainga tetahi mara, tetahi kari waina ranei, a ka tukua atu e ia tana kararehe hei kai i te mara a tetahi; me utu e ia ki nga hua papai rawa o tana mara, ki nga hua papai rawa hoki o tana kari waina.
6 If a fire breaks out and spreads to thornbushes so that it consumes stacked or standing grain, or the whole field, the one who started the fire must make full restitution.
Ki te toro atu te ahi, a ka pono ki nga tataramoa, a ka pau nga whakapu witi, te witi ranei e tu ana, te mara ranei; me ata whakautu e te tangata nana i tahu te ahi.
7 If a man gives his neighbor money or goods for safekeeping and they are stolen from the neighbor’s house, the thief, if caught, must pay back double.
Ki te homai e te tangata tetahi moni, etahi mea ranei, ki tona hoa kia tiakina, a ka tahaetia i roto i te whare o taua tangata; ki te kitea te tahae, kia rua nga utu e homai e ia.
8 If the thief is not found, the owner of the house must appear before the judges to determine whether he has taken his neighbor’s property.
Ki te kahore i kitea te tahae, na, me kawe te rangatira o te whare ki te Atua, kia kitea me kahore i totoro tona ringaringa ki nga taonga a tona hoa.
9 In all cases of illegal possession of an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or any lost item that someone claims, ‘This is mine,’ both parties shall bring their cases before the judges. The one whom the judges find guilty must pay back double to his neighbor.
I nga whakawakanga hara katoa mo te kau, kaihe, hipi, kakahu, mo te ngaromanga o tetahi mea e kiia ana e tetahi nona, me haere te korero a te tokorua ki te Atua; ko te tangata kua whakataua te he ki a ia e te Atua, kia rua nga utu e homai e ia ki tona hoa.
10 If a man gives a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any other animal to be cared for by his neighbor, but it dies or is injured or stolen while no one is watching,
Ki te homai e tetahi he kaihe ki tona hoa, he kau ranei, he hipi ranei, tetahi ranei o nga tini kararehe, kia tiakina; a ka mate, ka whara ranei, ka pahuatia ranei, kihai ano hoki i kitea:
11 an oath before the LORD shall be made between the parties to determine whether or not the man has taken his neighbor’s property. The owner must accept the oath and require no restitution.
Ka waiho i waenganui i a raua te oati a Ihowa, mo tona ringa kihai i totoro atu ki te taonga o tona hoa: a me whakaae mai e te rangatira o taua mea, e kore ano hoki e utua.
12 But if the animal was actually stolen from the neighbor, he must make restitution to the owner.
Otiia ki te mea kua tahaetia atu i a ia, me hoatu he utu ki tona rangatira.
13 If the animal was torn to pieces, he shall bring it as evidence; he need not make restitution for the torn carcass.
Ki te mea kua haehaea, me kawe mai e ia hei whakaatu, a e kore e utua e ia te mea i haea.
14 If a man borrows an animal from his neighbor and it is injured or dies while its owner is not present, he must make full restitution.
Ki te tikina ano hoki e te tangata tetahi mea a tona hoa, a ka whara, ka mate ranei, me te ngaro ano te rangatira o taua mea, me ata whakautu ano e ia.
15 If the owner was present, no restitution is required. If the animal was rented, the fee covers the loss.
Kei reira te rangatira, e kore e utua: ki te mea e utua ana tona tukunga, i haere mai hoki mo tona utu.
16 If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged in marriage and sleeps with her, he must pay the full dowry for her to be his wife.
Ki te whakawai te tangata i te kotiro kihai i taumautia, a ka moe raua, me whakarite he tapakuha, a me marena e ia hei wahine mana.
17 If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, the man still must pay an amount comparable to the bridal price of a virgin.
Ki te tino whakakahore rawa tona papa, a e kore e tukua ki a ia, me homai e ia nga moni e rite ana ki te kaireperepe mo nga kotiro.
18 You must not allow a sorceress to live.
Kei tukua e koe te wahine makutu kia ora.
19 Whoever lies with an animal must surely be put to death.
Ko te tangata i takotoria e ia he kararehe, me whakamate rawa.
20 If anyone sacrifices to any god other than the LORD alone, he must be set apart for destruction.
Me whakangaro rawa te tangata e patu whakahere ana ma tetahi atua ke; engari ma Ihowa anake.
21 You must not exploit or oppress a foreign resident, for you yourselves were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
Kaua hoki e whakatoia te manene, kaua ano hoki ia e tukinotia: he manene hoki koutou i mua, i te whenua o Ihipa.
22 You must not mistreat any widow or orphan.
Kaua e whakatupuria kinotia te pouaru, te pani ranei.
23 If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to Me in distress, I will surely hear their cry.
Ki te anga koe ki te whakatupukino i a raua, a ka tangi raua ki ahau, ina, ka whakarongo ahau ki ta raua karanga;
24 My anger will be kindled, and I will kill you with the sword; then your wives will become widows and your children will be fatherless.
A ka mura toku riri, ka patua ano hoki koutou ki te hoari; a ka pouarutia a koutou wahine, ka pania ano hoki a koutou tamariki.
25 If you lend money to one of My people among you who is poor, you must not act as a creditor to him; you are not to charge him interest.
Ki te whakatarewa koe i te moni ki tetahi o taku iwi, ki tetahi o ou rawakore, kei rite tau ki a ia ki ta te kaiwhakatuputupu moni, kei tangohia i a ia te moni whakatuputupu.
26 If you take your neighbor’s cloak as collateral, return it to him by sunset,
Ki te tangohia e koe te kakahu o tou hoa hei taunaha, kaua e tukua kia rere te ra ka whakahoki ai ki a ia:
27 because his cloak is the only covering he has for his body. What else will he sleep in? And if he cries out to Me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.
Ko tena anake na hoki hei uhi mona, hei kakahu mona, mo tona kiri: a ko te aha hei moenga iho mona? ki te karanga mai hoki ia ki ahau, na ka whakarongo atu ahau; no te mea he mahi tohu tangata taku.
28 You must not blaspheme God or curse the ruler of your people.
Kaua e kohukohu ki te Atua, kaua ano hoki e kanga ki te ariki o tou iwi.
29 You must not hold back offerings from your granaries or vats. You are to give Me the firstborn of your sons.
Kei whakaroa koe ki te homai i nga matamua o ou hua, o ou wai: me homai e koe te matamua o au tamariki ki ahau.
30 You shall do likewise with your cattle and your sheep. Let them stay with their mothers for seven days, but on the eighth day you are to give them to Me.
Kia pera ano tau e mea ai ki au kau, ki au hipi: e whitu nga ra e noho ai ia ki tona whaea; i te waru o nga ra me homai ki ahau.
31 You are to be My holy people. You must not eat the meat of a mauled animal found in the field; you are to throw it to the dogs.
Hei tangata tapu hoki koutou maku: kaua ano e kai i te kikokiko i haea ki te parae; me maka ma te kuri.
