Leviticus 18
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God.
Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, Ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.
Kei rite a koutou mahi ki nga mahi a te whenua o Ihipa, i noho na koutou: kei rite hoki a koutou mahi ki nga mahi a te whenua o Kanaana, e kawea nei koutou e ahau ki reira: kei haere i runga i a ratou tikanga.
4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I [am] the LORD your God.
Me mahi aku whakaritenga, kia mau ki aku tikanga, me haere hoki i reira; ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I [am] the LORD.
Ina, kia mau ki aku tikanga, ki aku whakaritenga: ki te mahia hoki ena e te tangata, me reira e ora ai: ko Ihowa ahau.
6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover [their] nakedness: I [am] the LORD.
Kaua tetahi o koutou e whakatata ki tetahi o ona whanaunga tupu, hura ai i to ratou kiri tahanga: ko Ihowa ahau.
7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she [is] thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
Kei hurahia e koe tou papa, tou whaea ranei, kia takoto tahanga: ko tou whaea ia; kei hurahia e koe kia takoto tahanga.
8 The nakedness of thy father’s wife shalt thou not uncover: it [is] thy father’s nakedness.
Kei hurahia e koe kia takoto tahunga te wahine a tou papa: ko te wahi takoto tahanga ia o tou papa.
9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, [whether she be] born at home, or born abroad, [even] their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
Kei hurahia e koe kia takoto tahanga tou tuahine, te tamahine a tou papa, te tamahine ranei a tou whaea, ahakoa i whanau ki te kainga, i whanau ranei ki tetahi atu wahi; kei hurahia raua e koe kia takoto tahanga.
10 The nakedness of thy son’s daughter, or of thy daughter’s daughter, [even] their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs [is] thine own nakedness.
Kei hurahia e koe kia takoto tahanga te tamahine a tau tama, te tamahine ranei a tau tamahine, kei hurahia raua e koe kia takoto tahanga: nou hoki te wahi o raua i takoto tahanga na.
11 The nakedness of thy father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of thy father, she [is] thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
Kei takoto tahanga i a koe te tamahine a te wahine a tou papa, te whanau a tou papa, he tuahine ia nou, kei hurahia ia e koe kia takoto tahanga.
12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s sister: she [is] thy father’s near kinswoman.
Kei hurahia te tuahine o tou papa kia takoto tahanga: he whanaunga tupu ia no tou papa.
13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister: for she [is] thy mother’s near kinswoman.
Kei hurahia e koe te tuakana, teina ranei, o tou whaea kia takoto tahanga: he whanaunga tupu hoki ia no tou whaea.
14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she [is] thine aunt.
Kei hurahia e koe kia takoto tahanga te teina, tuakana ranei, o tou papa, kei whakatata koe ki tana wahine; ko tou whaea keke ia.
15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she [is] thy son’s wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
Kei hurahia e koe tau hunaonga kia takoto tahanga: ko te wahine ia a tau tama, kei hurahia ia e koe kia takoto tahgana.
16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother’s wife: it [is] thy brother’s nakedness.
Kei hurahia e koe kia takoto tahanga te wahine a tou tuakana, teina ranei; no tou tuakana, teina ranei, taua wahi i takoto tahanga na.
17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; [for] they [are] her near kinswomen: it [is] wickedness.
Kei hurahia e koe kia takoto tahanga te wahine raua ko tana tamahine, kaua ano e tangohia te tamahine a tana tama, te tamahine ranei a tana tamahine, hura ai i a ia kia takoto tahanga; he whanaunga pu hoki ratou ki a ia: he mea kino tena.
18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex [her], to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life [time].
Kaua ano hoki e tangohia he wahine ki te taha o tona tuakana, teina ranei, hei whakatetetete ki a ia; kaua ia e hurahia kia takoto tahanga, me te ora ano hoki tera.
19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
Kaua ano hoki e whakatata ki te wahine ki te hura i a ia kia takoto tahanga, i a ia e poke ana i te paheketanga.
20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour’s wife, to defile thyself with her.
Kaua ano hoki e takoto puremu ki te wahine a tou hoa, whakapoke ai i a koe ki a ia.
21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through [the fire] to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I [am] the LORD.
Kaua ano e tukua tetahi o ou uri kia haere na waenga ahi hei mea ki a Moreke, kaua ano e whakanoatia te ingoa o tou Atua: ko Ihowa ahau.
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination.
Kei takotoria wahinetia te tane: he mea whakarihariha tena.
23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it [is] confusion.
Kaua ano hoki e takoto ki tetahi kararehe, whakapoke ai i a koe ki taua mea: kaua hoki tetahi wahine e tu ki te aroaro o tetahi kararehe, takoto tahi ai raua: he mea anuanu tena.
24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
Kei poke koutou i tetahi o enei mea: e poke ana hoki i enei mea katoa nga iwi ka peia nei e ahau i to koutou aroaro:
25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
Kua poke ano hoki te whenua: koia ahau i mea ai kia tau iho tona kino ki runga ki a ia; a e whakaruaki ana te whenua i ona tangata.
26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit [any] of these abominations; [neither] any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
Mo reira kia mau ki aku tikanga, ki aku whakaritenga whakawa; kaua ano e mahia tetahi o enei mea whakarihariha e te tangata whenua, e te manene ranei i roto i a koutou:
27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which [were] before you, and the land is defiled; )
No te mea kua mahia enei mea whakarihariha katoa e nga tangata whenua o mua i a koutou, a poke iho te whenua;
28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that [were] before you.
Kei whakaruakina ano hoki koutou e te whenua, ina poke i a koutou, pera me nga iwi e whakaruakina nei i to koutou aroaro.
29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit [them] shall be cut off from among their people.
Ki te mahia hoki tetahi o enei mea whakarihariha e tetahi tangata, ina, ka hatepea atu nga wairua e pena i roto i to ratou iwi.
30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that [ye] commit not [any one] of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I [am] the LORD your God.
No reira kia mau ki aku i whakahau atu ai, kei mahia e koutou tetahi o enei ritenga whakarihariha i mahia nei i mua i a koutou, kei poke hoki koutou i aua mea: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
