< Deuteronomy 17 >

1 Thou shalt offer vnto the Lord thy God no bullocke nor sheepe wherein is blemish or any euill fauoured thing: for that is an abomination vnto the Lord thy God.
Kaua e patua ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua, tetahi kau, hipi ranei, he koha tona, tetahi atu he ranei: he mea whakarihariha hoki tena ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua.
2 If there be founde among you in any of thy cities, which the Lord thy God giueth thee, man or woman that hath wrought wickednes in the sight of the Lord thy God, in transgressing his couenant,
Ki te mea ka kitea i roto i a koe, i roto i tetahi o ou tatau e homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe tetahi tangata, tetahi wahine ranei, i mahi i te kino ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tou Atua, i whakapaheke hoki i tanga kawenata,
3 And hath gone and serued other gods, and worshipped them: as the sunne, or the moone, or any of the hoste of heauen, which I haue not commanded,
I haere hoki, i mahi ki nga atua ke, i koropiko ki a ratou, ki te ra ranei, ki te marama ranei, ki tetahi ranei o nga mano o te rangi kihai nei i whakaritea atu e ahau;
4 And it be tolde vnto thee, and thou hast heard it, then shalt thou inquire diligently: and if it be true, and the thing certaine, that such abomination is wrought in Israel,
A ka korerotia ki a koe, a ka rongo koe, na me ata ui marie e koe, na, mehemea he tika, he pono te korero, kei te meatia taua mea whakarihariha i roto i a Iharaira:
5 Then shalt thou bring foorth that man, or that woman (which haue committed that wicked thing) vnto thy gates, whether it be man or woman, and shalt stone them with stones, til they die.
Me whakaputa e koe taua tangata, taua wahine ranei, i mahi nei i taua mea kino, ki ou tatau, taua tangata, taua wahine ranei; ka aki ai i a raua ki te kohatu, a mate noa.
6 At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall he that is woorthie of death, die: but at the mouth of one witnesse, he shall not die.
Ma te kupu a nga kaiwhakaatu tokorua, a nga kaiwhakaatu tokotoru ranei, e mate ai te tangata e tika ana kia whakamatea; e kore ia e mate i te kupu a te kaiwhakaatu kotahi.
7 The handes of the witnesses shall be first vpon him, to kill him: and afterward the hands of all the people: so thou shalt take the wicked away from among you.
Ko nga ringa o nga kaiwhakaatu te pa wawe ki a ia hei whakamate i a ia, a muri iho ko nga ringa o te iwi katoa. Penei ka whakakorea atu e koe te kino i roto i a koe.
8 If there rise a matter too harde for thee in iudgement betweene blood and blood, betweene plea and plea, betweene plague and plague, in the matters of controuersie within thy gates, then shalt thou arise, and goe vp vnto the place which the Lord thy God shall chuse,
Ki te ara ake tetahi take pakeke rawa i a koe te whakawa, he toto ki te toto, he whakawa ki te whakawa, he patu ki te patu, he take tautohetohe i roto i ou tatau: na me whakatika koe, me haere ki runga ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, tou Atua;
9 And thou shalt come vnto the Priestes of the Leuites, and vnto the iudge that shall be in those daies, and aske, and they shall shewe thee the sentence of iudgement,
A ka tae koe ki nga tohunga, ki nga Riwaiti, ki te kaiwhakawa hoki e whakarite ana i aua ra: a ka ui koe; a ma ratou e whakapuaki ki a koe te tikanga mo te whakarite:
10 And thou shalt do according to that thing which they of that place (which the Lord hath chosen) shewe thee, and thou shalt obserue to doe according to all that they informe thee.
Na me mahi e koe ta ratou e whakapuaki ai ki a koe i taua wahi i whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa; kia tupato hoki kia rite te meatanga ki nga mea katoa e kiia e ratou ki a koe:
11 According to the Lawe, which they shall teach thee, and according to the iudgement which they shall tell thee, shalt thou doe: thou shalt not decline from the thing which they shall shew thee, neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
Kia rite tau meatanga ki te tikanga o te ture e kiia e ratou ki a koe, ki te ritenga hoki e korerotia e ratou ki a koe: kaua e peka ke atu, ki matau ranei, ki maui ranei, i te kupu e whakapuakina e ratou ki a koe.
12 And that man that wil doe presumptuously, not hearkening vnto the Priest (that standeth before the Lord thy God to minister there) or vnto the iudge, that man shall die, and thou shalt take away euill from Israel.
A, ki te poka wahi tetahi tangata, kahore e whakarongo ki te tohunga e tu ana, e minita ana i reira i te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ki te kaiwhakawa ranei, me whakamate taua tangata; a ka whakakorea atu i koe te kino i roto i a Iharaira.
13 So all the people shall heare and feare, and doe no more presumptuously.
A ka rongo katoa te iwi, ka wehi, e kore e poka wahi noa i muri iho.
14 Whe thou shalt come vnto ye land which the Lord thy God giueth thee, and shalt possesse it, and dwell therein, if thou say, I will set a King ouer me, like as all the nations that are about me,
Ka tae koe ki te whenua e homai ana e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe, a ka riro mai a reira i a koe, a ka noho koe ki reira, ka mea hoki, Ka meinga e ahau tetahi kingi moku, ka pera me nga iwi katoa i tetahi taha oku, i tetahi taha;
15 Then thou shalt make him King ouer thee, whome the Lord thy God shall chuse: from among thy brethren shalt thou make a King ouer thee: thou shalt not set a stranger ouer thee, which is not thy brother.
Ko ta Ihowa, ko ta tou Atua e whiriwhiri ai, ko ia anake tau e mea ai hei kingi mou: ko tetahi o ou tuakana tau e mea ai hei kingi mou: e kore e ahei kia meatia e koe hei kingi mou te tangata iwi ke, ehara nei i te tuakana nou.
16 In any wise he shall not prepare him many horses, nor bring the people againe to Egypt, for to encrease the number of horses, seeing the Lord hath sayd vnto you, Ye shall henceforth goe no more againe that way.
Otiia kaua ia e whakamaha i te hoiho mona, kaua ano hoki e whakahokia te iwi ki Ihipa, hei whakamaha i nga hoiho: kua mea nei hoki a Ihowa ki a koutou, E kore koutou e hoki na taua huarahi a mua ake nei.
17 Neither shall hee take him many wiues, lest his heart turne away, neither shall he gather him much siluer and golde.
Kaua ano ia e whakamaha wahine mana, kei riro ke tona ngakau: kaua ano hoki e whakanuia rawatia e ia te hiriwa me te koura mana.
18 And when he shall sit vpon the throne of his kingdo, then shall he write him this Law repeted in a booke, by the Priests of the Leuites.
A, ka noho ia ki te torona o tona rangatiratanga, na me tuhituhi e ia ki tetahi pukapua nga kupu o tenei ture, no ena i te aroaro o nga tohunga o nga Riwaiti:
19 And it shall be with him, and he shall reade therein all daies of his life, that he may learne to feare the Lord his God, and to keepe all ye words of this Lawe, and these ordinances for to doe them:
A hei a ia takoto ai, a me korero ia ki reira i nga ra katoa e ora ai ia: kia ako ai ia ki te wehi ki a Ihowa, ki tona Atua, ki te pupuri i nga kupu katoa o tenei ture, i enei tikanga, hei mahi mana:
20 That his heart be not lifted vp aboue his brethren, and that he turne not from the commandement, to the right hand or to the left, but that he may prolong his daies in his kingdom, he, and his sonnes in the middes of Israel.
Kei whakakake tona ngakau ki ona teina, kei peka ke atu hoki ia i te whakahau ki matau, ki maui: kia roa ai ona ra i tona kingitanga, ona me o ana tama, i waenganui i a Iharaira.
