< Deuteronomy 23 >
1 An eunuch, whose testicles are broken or cut away, or yard cut off, shall not enter into the church of the Lord.
“Ko ia kuo lavea ʻi hono tenga, pe kuo tutuʻu hono potu fufū, ke ʻoua naʻa hoko ia ki he fakataha ʻoe kakai ʻa Sihova.
2 A mamzer, that is to say, one born of a prostitute, shall not enter into the church of the Lord, until the tenth generation.
ʻOua naʻa hoko ʻae foʻi angahala ki he fakataha ʻoe kakai ʻa Sihova; ʻio ʻo aʻu atu ki hono hongofulu ʻo ʻene toʻutangata ʻe ʻikai hoko ia ki he fakataha ʻoe kakai ʻa Sihova.
3 The Ammonite and the Moabite, even after the tenth generation shall not enter into the church of the Lord for ever:
Ke ʻoua naʻa hoko ʻae kau ʻAmoni, pe ko e kau Moape ki he fakataha ʻoe kakai ʻa Sihova; ʻio, ʻo aʻu atu ki hono hongofulu ʻo ʻenau toʻutangata ʻe ʻikai tenau hoko ki he fakataha ʻoe kakai ʻa Sihova ʻo taʻengata:
4 Because they would not meet you with bread and water in the way, when you came out of Egypt: hand because they hired against thee Balaam, the son of Beer, from Mesopotamia in Syria, to curse thee.
Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai tenau fakafetaulaki kiate kimoutolu ʻi he hala ʻaki ʻae mā mo e vai, ʻi hoʻomou haʻu kituaʻā mei ʻIsipite; pea koeʻuhi naʻa nau totongi kia Pelami ko e foha ʻo Peoli mei Pitoli ʻi Mesopōtemia, ke ne fakamalaʻiaʻi koe:
5 And the Lord thy God would not hear Balaam, and he turned his cursing into thy blessing, because he loved thee.
Ka ko e moʻoni naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kia Pelami; ka naʻe liliu ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae fakamalaʻia ko e meʻa monūʻia ia kiate koe, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻofa kiate koe ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
6 Thou shalt not make peace with them, neither shalt thou seek their prosperity all the days of thy life for ever.
ʻOua naʻa ke kumi ki heʻenau melino pe ko ʻenau lelei ʻi ho ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo taʻengata.
7 Thou shalt not abhor the Edomite, because he is thy brother: nor the Egyptian, because thou wast a stranger in his land.
“Ka ʻe ʻikai te ke fehiʻa ki he tangata ʻItomi; he ko ho tokoua ia: ʻoua naʻa ke fehiʻa ki ke tangata ʻIsipite; he naʻa ke nofo ko e muli ʻi hono fonua.
8 They that are born of them, in the third generation shall enter into the church of the Lord.
Ko e ngaahi fānau ʻoku tupu ʻiate kinautolu tenau hoko ki he fakataha ʻoe kakai ʻa Sihova ʻi hono tolu ʻo honau toʻutangata.
9 When thou goest out to war against thy enemies, thou shalt keep thyself from every evil thing.
“ʻOka ʻalu atu ʻa hoʻo kautau ki ho ngaahi fili, te ke taʻofi koe mei he meʻa angahala kotoa pē.
10 If there be among you any man, that is defiled in a dream by night, he shall go forth out of the camp.
“Kapau ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ha tangata, ʻoku ʻikai maʻa ko e meʻa ʻi he meʻa taʻemaʻa kuo hoko fakafokifā kiate ia ʻi he poʻuli, ʻe ʻalu ia kituaʻā ʻi he ʻapitanga, ke ʻoua naʻa haʻu ia ki loto ʻi he ʻapitanga:
11 And shall not return, before he be washed with water in the evening: and after sunset he shall return into the camp.
Pea ka efiafi, pea ʻe pehē, te ne kaukau ia ʻaki ʻae vai: pea ka tō ʻae laʻā, ʻe toe haʻu ia ki he ʻapitanga.
12 Thou shalt have a place without the camp, to which thou mayst go for the necessities of nature,
“Te ke vahe ha potu kiate koe ʻi tuaʻā ʻi ho ʻapitanga, ʻaia ke ke ʻalu ki ai ʻi he mamaʻo:
13 Carrying a paddle at thy girdle. And when thou sittest down, thou shalt dig round about, and with the earth that is dug up thou shalt cover
Pea te ke ʻai ha huo ʻi ho tokotoko, pea ʻe pehē, ʻoka ke ka ʻalu kituaʻā, ke ke keli ʻaki ia, pea ke tafoki koe ʻo tanu ʻaia ʻoku haʻu meiate koe:
14 That which thou art eased of: (for the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thy enemies to thee: ) and let thy camp be holy, and let no uncleanness appear therein, lest he go away from thee.
He ʻoku hāʻele ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ho ʻapitanga, ke fakahaofi koe, pea ke tukuange ho ngaahi fili ʻi ho ʻao: ko ia ke māʻoniʻoni ai ho ʻapitanga: ke ʻoua naʻa ne ʻafioʻi ha meʻa taʻemaʻa ʻe taha ʻiate koe, ke ne tafoki ai meiate koe.
15 Thou shalt not deliver to his master the servant that is fled to thee.
“ʻOua naʻa ke toe ʻatu ki hono ʻeiki ʻae tamaioʻeiki kuo hao kiate koe mei hono ʻeiki:
16 He shall dwell with thee ill the place that shall please him, and shall rest, in one of thy cities: give him no trouble.
ʻE nofo ia mo koe, ʻio, fakataha mo kimoutolu, ʻi he potu ko ia ʻe fili ʻe ia ʻi he kolo ʻe taha, ʻaia ʻe manako ki ai ia: ʻoua naʻa ke fakamālohi kiate ia.
17 There shall be no whore among the daughters of Israel, nor whoremonger among the sons of Israel.
ʻOua naʻa ai ha fefine feʻauaki ʻi he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ʻoua naʻa ai ha tangata angahala fakalielia ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻIsileli.
18 Thou shalt not offer the hire of a strumpet, nor the price of a dog, in the house of the Lord thy God, whatsoever it be that thou hast vowed: because both these are an abomination to the Lord thy God.
ʻOua naʻa ke ʻomi ʻae totongi ʻoe feʻauaki pe ko e totongi ʻoe kulī ki he fale ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi ha fuakava ʻe taha: he ko e meʻa kovi fakatouʻosi pe ia kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
19 Thou shalt not lend to thy brother money to usury, nor corn, nor any other thing:
“ʻOua naʻa ke nō atu ke maʻu totongi lahi mei ho tokoua; ʻae totongi ʻoe paʻanga, pe ko e totongi meʻakai, pe ko e totongi ʻo ha meʻa ʻe taha kuo nō atu ke maʻu totongi:
20 But to the stranger. To thy brother thou shalt lend that which he wanteth, without usury: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all thy works in the land, which thou shalt go in to possess.
ʻE ngofua ʻa hoʻo nō atu ki he muli ke maʻu totongi; kaeʻoua naʻa ke nō atu ki ho tokoua ke maʻu totongi: koeʻuhi ke tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke ʻai ho nima ki ai, ʻi he fonua ko ia ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai ke ke maʻu ia.
21 When thou hast made a vow to the Lord thy God, thou shalt not delay to pay it: because the Lord thy God will require it. And if thou delay, it shall be imputed to thee for a sin.
“ʻOka ke ka fuakava ʻaki ʻae fuakava kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke fakatuai ʻa hono fai: he ko e moʻoni ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua te ne ʻeke ia kiate koe; pea ʻe hoko ia ko e angahala kiate koe.
22 If thou wilt not promise, thou shalt be without sin.
Pea kapau ʻoku ke taʻofi koe ʻo ʻikai fuakava, ʻe ʻikai angahala ia kiate koe.
23 But that which is once gone out of thy lips, thou shalt observe, and shalt do as thou hast promised to the Lord thy God, and hast spoken with thy own will and with thy own mouth.
“Ka ko ia kuo ʻalu atu ʻi ho loungutu ke ke fakapapau mo fai: ko e meʻa ʻatu loto lelei pe, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fuakava kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia kuo ke fakaʻilo ʻaki ho ngutu.
24 Going into thy neighbour’s vineyard, thou mayst eat as many grapes as thou pleasest: but must carry none out with thee:
“ʻOka ke ka hoko ki he ngoue vaine ʻa ho kaungāʻapi, ʻe ngofua ʻa hoʻo kai ʻae kālepi ko hoʻo faʻiteliha ke ke mākona ai; kaeʻoua naʻa ke faʻo ha niʻihi ʻi hoʻo ipu.
25 If thou go into thy friend’s corn, thou mayst break the ears, and rub them in thy hand: but not reap them with a sickle.
ʻOka ke ka hoko ki he ngoue uite ʻa ho kaungāʻapi, ʻe ngofua ʻa hoʻo toli hono ngaahi fua ʻaki ho nima: kaeʻoua naʻa ke momoʻi ʻai ʻae helepiko ki he uite tuʻu ʻa ho kaungāʻapi.
