Leviticus 19
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
2 Say to all the people of Israel, You are to be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy.
Korero ki te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, Kia tapu koutou: he tapu hoki ahau, a Ihowa, to koutou Atua.
3 Let every man give honour to his mother and to his father and keep my Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.
Me wehi tera, tera, ki tona whaea, ki tona papa, kia mau hoki ki aku hapati: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
4 Do not go after false gods, and do not make metal images of gods for yourselves: I am the Lord your God.
Kei tahuri ki te whakapakoko, kei whakarewaina he atua ma koutou: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
5 And when you give a peace offering to the Lord, do it in the way which is pleasing to the Lord.
Ki te whakaherea ano he patunga mo te pai ki a Ihowa, hei te patunga e manakohia ai koutou.
6 Let it be used for food on the same day on which it is offered, or on the day after; and whatever is over on the third day is to be burned with fire.
Me kai i te rangi ano i whakaherea ai, i te aonga ake ano hoki: a ki te toe tetahi wahi ki te toru o nga ra, me tahu ki te ahi.
7 If any of it is used for food on the third day, it is a disgusting thing and will not be pleasing to the Lord.
Ki te kainga hoki tetahi wahi i te toru o nga ra, ka whakariharihangia; e kore e manakohia:
8 And as for anyone who takes it for food, his sin will be on him, for he has put shame on the holy thing of the Lord: he will be cut off from his people.
A ka waha o ratou hara e nga tangata katoa i kainga ai, no te mea kua whakanoatia te mea tapu a Ihowa; a ka hatepea atu tauta tangata i roto i tona iwi.
9 And when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain be cut from the edges of the field, or take up what has been dropped on the earth after the getting in of the grain.
Ina kotia e koutou nga hua o to koutou whenua, kaua e kotia rawatia nga kokonga o tau mara, kaua ano hoki e hamua nga toenga o au hua.
10 And do not take all the grapes from your vine-garden, or the fruit dropped on the earth; let the poor man, and the man from another country, have these: I am the Lord your God.
Kaua hoki e hamua tau mara waina, kaua ano e kohia nga karepe taka o tau mara waina; me waiho ma te rawakore, ma te tangata iwi ke: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
11 Do not take anyone's property or be false in act or word to another.
Kaua e tahae; kaua hoki e teka, kaua ano e tinihanga tetahi ki tetahi.
12 And do not take an oath in my name falsely, putting shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.
Kei oatitia tekatia hoki toku ingoa, kaua ano hoki e whakanoatia te ingoa o tou Atua: ko Ihowa ahau.
13 Do not be cruel to your neighbour or take what is his; do not keep back a servant's payment from him all night till the morning.
Kaua e tukinotia tou hoa, kaua hoki e pahuatia: kaua nga utu o te kaimahi e takoto tonu ki a koe i te po, a tae noa ki te ata.
14 Do not put a curse on those who have no hearing, or put a cause of falling in the way of the blind, but keep the fear of your God before you: I am the Lord.
Kaua e kanga te turi, kaua ano e maka he whakatutuki ki te aroaro o te matapo; engari me wehi ki tou Atua: ko Ihowa ahau.
15 Do no wrong in your judging: do not give thought to the position of the poor, or honour to the position of the great; but be a judge to your neighbour in righteousness.
Kei whakahaere he ina whakawa; kaua e whakaaro ki te kanohi o te rawakore, kaua hoki e whakahonoretia te kanohi o te nui: me whakawa koe mo tou hoa i runga i te tika.
16 Do not go about saying untrue things among your people, or take away the life of your neighbour by false witness: I am the Lord.
Kaua e kopikopiko i roto i tou iwi kawekawe korero ai: kaua ano hoki e tu kia whakahekea te toto o tou hoa: ko Ihowa ahau.
17 Let there be no hate in your heart for your brother; but you may make a protest to your neighbour, so that he may be stopped from doing evil.
Kei kino koe ki tou teina i roto i tou ngakau: riria marietia tou hoa, kaua e waiho he hara i runga i a ia.
18 Do not make attempts to get equal with one who has done you wrong, or keep hard feelings against the children of your people, but have love for your neighbour as for yourself: I am the Lord.
Kaua e rapu utu, kaua hoki e mauahara ki nga tamariki a tou iwi; engari arohaina tou hoa ano ko koe: ko Ihowa ahau.
19 Keep my laws. Do not let your cattle have offspring by those of a different sort; do not put mixed seed into your field; do not put on a robe made of two sorts of cloth.
Kia mau ki aku tikanga. Kaua e whakatupuria he uri mo au kararehe ki tera atu tu karerehe: kaua e whakauruurua nga purapura e whakatongia e koe ki tau mara: kaua ano hoki e meatia ki a koe he kakahu ko tetahi wahi he rinena, ko tetahi he huruhur u.
20 If any man has sex relations with a servant-woman who has given her word to be married to a man, and has not been made free for a price or in any other way, the thing will be looked into; but they will not be put to death because she was not a free woman.
Ki te takoto puremu hoki tetahi ki te wahine pononga kua oti te taumau ma te tane, ki te mea kihai i utua, i whakahokia, kihai ano hoki i tukua kia haere noa atu; ka whiua raua; e kore raua e whakamatea, no te mea kihai ia i tukua kia haere noa atu.
21 Let him take his offering for wrongdoing to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting; let him give a male sheep as an offering for wrongdoing.
A me kawe e te tane tana whakahere mo te he ki a Ihowa, ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, he hipi toa hei whakahere mo te he.
22 And the priest will take away his sin before the Lord with the sheep which is offered for his wrongdoing, and he will have forgiveness for the sin which he has done.
A ka whakamarie te tohunga mona ki te hipi toa, ki te whakahere mo te he ki te aroaro o Ihowa, mo tona hara i hara ai; a ku murua tona hara i hara ai.
23 And when you have come into the land, and have put in all sorts of fruit-trees, their fruit will be as if they had not had circumcision, and for three years their fruit may not be used for food.
E tae hoki koutou ki te whenua, a ka whakatongia e koutou nga rakau kai katoa; me waiho nga hua hei mea kokotikore, kia toru nga tau e waiho ai e koutou hei mea kokotikore: e kore e kainga.
24 And in the fourth year all the fruit will be holy as a praise-offering to the Lord.
I te wha ia o nga tau ka tapu nga hua katoa o reira, hei whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa.
25 But in the fifth year you may take the fruit and the increase of it for your food: I am the Lord your God.
Engari i te rima o nga tau me kai e koutou nga hua o reira, a ka maha ake ona hua ma koutou: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
26 Nothing may be used for food with its blood in it; you may not make use of strange arts, or go in search of signs and wonders.
Kaua e kainga tototia tetahi mea: kaua ano hoki e rapu tikanga i nga tohu, i nga kapua.
27 The ends of the hair round your face and on your chin may not be cut off.
Kaua e whakaporotakatia nga taha o o koutou mahunga, kaua ano hoki e whakaahuatia kinotia nga taha o tou pahau.
28 You may not make cuts in your flesh in respect for the dead, or have marks printed on your bodies: I am the Lord.
Kaua e haea o koutou kikokiko mo te tapapaku, kaua ano hoki e taia he tohu ki a koutou: ko Ihowa ahau.
29 Do not make your daughter common by letting her become a loose woman, for fear that the land may become full of shame.
Kaua e whakanoatia tau tamahine, e meinga hei wahine kairau; kei riro te whenua i te kairau, a ka ki te whenua i te kino.
30 Keep my Sabbaths and have respect for my holy place: I am the Lord.
Kia mau ki aku hapati, kia hopohopo hoki ki toku wahi tapu: ko Ihowa ahau.
31 Do not go after those who make use of spirits, or wonder-workers; do not go in their ways or become unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.
Kaua e whakaaro atu ki nga waka atua, kaua ano hoki e whai atu ki nga mata maori, whakapokea ai e ratou: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
32 Get up from your seats before the white-haired, and give honour to the old, and let the fear of your God be before you: I am the Lord.
Me whakatika ake koe i te aroaro o te matenga hina, me whakahonore hoki te mata o te koroheke, me wehi ano hoki ki tou Atua: ko Ihowa ahau.
33 And if a man from another country is living in your land with you, do not make life hard for him;
Ki te noho hoki te tangata iwi ki ki a koe, ki tou whenua, kaua koutou e mahi i te kino ki a ia.
34 Let him be to you as one of your countrymen and have love for him as for yourself; for you were living in a strange land, in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
Ki ta koutou kia rite ki tetahi o o koutou tangata whenua te manene e noho ana i a koutou, arohaina ia ano ko koe; he manene hoki koutou i mua, i te whenua o Ihipa: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
35 Do not make false decisions in questions of yard-sticks and weights and measures.
Kei he ta koutou whakahaere ina whakawa, i te ruri ranei, i te pauna taimaha ranei, i te mehua ranei.
36 Have true scales, true weights and measures for all things: I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt;
Kia tika a koutou pauna, kia tika nga whakataimaha, kia tika te epa, kia tika hoki te hine: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua, i kawe mai nei i a koutou i te whenua o Ihipa.
37 You are to keep all my rules and my decisions and do them: I am the Lord.
Mo reira kia mau ki aku tikanga katoa, me aku whakaritenga katoa, mahia ano hoki: ko Ihowa ahau.
