< Deuteronomy 25 >

1 If there be a controversy between men, and they resort to judgment, and they judge [their case]; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.
I NA he mea e hakaka ai iwaena o na kanaka, a hele mai lakou ma kahi hookolokolo, i hooponopono ai na lunakanawai ia lakou; alaila e hoapono aku lakou i ka mea i pono, a e hoahewa aku i ka mea i hewa.
2 And it shall be if the wicked man have deserved to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and be beaten before his face, according to the measure of his wickedness with a certain number [of stripes].
Ina he pono e lilo ka mea i hewa i ka hahauia, e hoomoe ka lunakanawai ia ia malalo, a e hahauia oia imua o kona maka, e like me ke ano o kona hewa, ma ka helu ana.
3 With forty [stripes] shall they beat him; they shall not exceed, lest, if they continue to beat him with many stripes above these, thy brother become despicable in thine eyes.
Hookahi kanaha ia e hahau ai ia ia, aole keu aku: ina e hahau hou ia ia, a nai ka hahau ana, e lilo auanei kou hoahanau i mea hoowahawahaia i kou maka.
4 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out [the corn].
Mai hoopaa aku oe i ka waha o ka bipi e hehi ana i ka palaoa.
5 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not marry a stranger abroad: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him as wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her.
Ina e noho pu na hoahanau kane, a make kekahi o lakou, aohe ana keiki, mai mare ka wahine a ka mea i make i ka malihini mawaho: na ka hoahanau o kana kane e hele iloko io na la, a e lawe ia ia i wahine nana, a e malama aka i ka oihana o ka hoahanau o kana kane.
6 And it shall be, that the firstborn that she beareth shall stand in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name be not blotted out from Israel.
A o ka hanau mua ana e hanau ai, e lawe no ia i ka inoa o kona hoahanau i make, i nalowale ole ai kona inoa mai ka Iseraela aku.
7 But if the man like not to take his brother's wife, his brother's wife shall go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel: he will not perform for me the duty of a husband's brother.
Ina makemake ole ke kanaka e lawe i ka wahine a kona hoahanau, alaila e pii ka wahine a kona hoahanau ma ka ipaka i na lunakahiko, a e i aku, Ua hoole ka hoahanau o kuu kane e hooku i ka inoa no kona hoahanau iloko o ka Iseraela, aole ia i haliu mai e malama i ka oihana o ka hoahanau o kuu kane.
8 Then the elders of his city shall call him and speak unto him; and if he stand to it and say, I like not to take her;
Alaila e kahea aku na lunakahiko o kona kulanakauhale ia ia, a e olelo aku ia ia; a i kupaa ia, a e i mai, Aole o'u makemake e lawe ia ia;
9 then shall his brother's wife come near to him before the eyes of the elders, and draw his sandal from his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto the man that will not build up his brother's house.
Alaila e hele mai ka wahine a kona hoahanau ia ia imua o na lunakahiko, a e kala ae i kona kamaa mai kona wawae, a e kuha aku i kona maka, me ka olelo aku, Pela e hanaia'ku ai i ke kanaka, i ka mea kukulu ole i ka hale o kona hoahanau.
10 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe drawn off.
A e kapaia kona inoa iloko o ka Iseraela, O ka hale o ka mea i kalaia kona kamaa.
11 When men fight together one with another, and the wife of the one come near to rescue her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and stretch out her hand, and seize him by his secret parts,
A i hakaka pu na kanaka, kekahi kanaka a me kona hoahanau, a hookokoke mai ka wahine a kekahi e hoopakele i kana kane i ka lima o ka mea i pepehi mai ia ia, a hoopaa aku ia ia ma kona wahi hilahila:
12 thou shalt cut off her hand; thine eye shall not spare.
E oki ae i kona lima, mai minamina koa maka.
13 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.
Mai waiho iloko o kou aa i na mea kaupouna ano lua, i ka mea nui a me ka mea uuku.
14 Thou shalt not have in thy house divers ephahs, a great and a small.
Aole hoi ma kou hale na ana elua, o ka mea nui, a me ka mea uuku.
15 A perfect and just weight shalt thou have; a perfect and just ephah shalt thou have; that thy days may be prolonged in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee.
E malama oe i ka pouna pono, a me ka pololei, a me ke ana pono a me ka pololei; i loihi ai koa mau la ma ka aina a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai ia oe.
16 For every one that doeth such things, every one that doeth unrighteousness, is an abomination to Jehovah thy God.
No ka mea, ua hoowahawahaia e Iehova na mea a pau e hana ana i keia mau mea, a me ka poe a pau e hana ana i ka mea pono ole.
17 Remember what Amalek did unto thee on the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt;
E hoomanao i ka mea a ka Amaleka i hana mai ai ia oe ma ke ala i ko oakoa hele ana, mai Aigupita mai.
18 how he met thee on the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all the feeble that lagged behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary, and he feared not God.
I ko lakou halawai ana me oe ma ke ala, a pepehi mai ma kou hope i na mea nawaliwali a pau mahope ou ia oe i nawaliwali ai, a i maloeloe ai; aole lakou i makau i ke Akua.
19 And it shall be, when Jehovah thy God shall have given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens; thou shalt not forget it.
No ia mea, aia hoomaha mai o Iehova kou Akua ia oe mai kou poe enemi a puni, ma ka aina a Ienova kou Akua i hoolilo mai ai nou, e hokai loa aku oe i ka Amaleka malalo ae o ka lani; mai hoopoina oe.
