Leviticus 19
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
2 “Speak to all the people of Israel and tell them this: You must be holy, because I, Yahweh your God, am holy, [and I want you to be like me].
Lea ki he fakataha kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mo ke pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ke mou māʻoniʻoni; he ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ʻoku ou māʻoniʻoni.
3 ‘Each of you must respect your father and your mother. And you must (honor/treat respectfully) the Sabbath days. I am Yahweh, your God, [and that is what I am commanding you to do].
“Te mou fakaʻapaʻapa taki taha kotoa pē ʻae tangata ki heʻene faʻē, mo ʻene tamai, pea tauhi hoku ngaahi Sāpate: Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
4 ‘Do not worship idols or make metal statues of gods for yourselves. I am Yahweh, your God, [and I am the only one you must worship].
“ʻOua naʻa mou tafoki ki he ngaahi ʻotua loi, pea ʻoua naʻa mou ngaohi moʻomoutolu ʻae ngaahi ʻotua [ʻi he ukamea haka]: Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
5 ‘Then you bring an offering to maintain fellowship with me, offer it in a way that will cause me to accept it.
“Pea kapau ʻoku mou ʻatu ʻae feilaulau ko e ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei kia Sihova, te mou ʻatu ia ʻi homou loto lelei ki ai.
6 The meat should be eaten on the day that you sacrifice it, but you are permitted to eat some of it on the next day. Anything that remains until the third/next day must be completely burned.
ʻE kai ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku mou ʻatu ia, pea ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku na feholoʻi: pea kapau ʻoku ai hano toe ki hono ʻaho tolu, ʻe tutu ʻaki ia ʻae afi.
7 For any of it to be eaten on the third day is very displeasing to me, and I will not accept that offering.
Pea kapau ʻe momoʻi kai ia ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, ko e meʻa kovi ia; ʻe ʻikai maʻu ia.
8 I will punish anyone who eats it [after the second day], because he will not have respected that what I say is holy. And that person must no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
Ko ia, ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻoku kai ia ʻe ʻiate ia ʻene hia, koeʻuhi kuo fakahala ʻe ia ʻae meʻa tapu ʻa Sihova: pea ʻe motuhi ʻae tangata ko ia mei hono kakai.
9 ‘Then you harvest your grain, leave the grain at the very edge of the field, and do not pick up the grain that has fallen on the ground.
“Pea ka mou ka tuʻusi ʻae fua ʻo homou fonua, ʻoua naʻa ke tuʻusi ke ʻosi ʻae ngaahi tuliki ʻo hoʻo ngoue, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke tānaki ʻae ngaahi toenga tufi ʻo hoʻo ututaʻu.
10 And when you harvest your grapes, do not go back a second time to try to harvest some more, and do not pick up the grapes that have fallen on the ground. Leave those things for the poor people and for foreigners who are living among you. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding those things].
Pea ʻoua naʻa ke tufi ʻae toenga ʻo hoʻo ngoue vaine, pea ʻoua naʻa ke tānaki ʻae kālepi kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo ngoue vaine; ka ke tuku ia ki he masiva mo e muli: Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
11 ‘Do not steal anything. ‘Do not tell lies. ‘Do not deceive each other.
“ʻOua naʻa mou kaihaʻa, pe fai fakakākā, pe feloiʻaki ʻae taha ki he taha.
12 ‘Do not show that you do not respect me by using/saying my name to falsely promise that you will do something. [Do not forget that] I am Yahweh, your God.
“Pea ʻoua naʻa mou fuakava loi ʻi hoku hingoa, pea ʻoua naʻa ke takuanoa ʻae huafa ʻo ho ʻOtua: Ko au ko Sihova.
13 ‘Do not cheat anyone or steal from anyone. [‘If you have agreed to] pay your workers at the end of the day, [do what you have promised]; do not keep those wages until the next day.
“ʻOua naʻa ke kākaaʻi ho kaungāʻapi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke kaihaʻa meiate ia: ko e totongi ngāue ʻo ia naʻa mo alea ki ai, ʻoua naʻa tuku ia ʻiate koe ʻi he pō ʻo ʻaho.
14 ‘Do not curse deaf people, and do not put things in the path of blind people to cause them to stumble.
“ʻOua naʻa ke kapeʻi ʻae tuli, pe ʻai ʻae tūkiaʻanga ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kui, ka ke manavahē ki ho ʻOtua: Ko au ko Sihova.
15 ‘Always [LIT] judge people fairly [DOU]. Do not do special favors for either poor people or rich people.
“ʻOua naʻa mou fai taʻetotonu ʻi he fakamaau: ʻoua naʻa ke tokanga koeʻuhi ko e mata ʻoe masiva, pe fakaʻapaʻapa koeʻuhi ko e mata ʻoe ʻeiki: ka te ke fakamaauʻi ho kaungāʻapi ʻi he angatonu.
16 ‘Do not spread false rumors about other people. ‘Do not say anything [in court] that would result in some [innocent] person being executed. I, Yahweh, [am commanding this].
“ʻOua naʻa ke feʻaluʻaki fano ke fetuku talanoa ʻi hoʻo kakai; pea ʻoua naʻa ke lea ke mate ai ho kaungāʻapi: Ko au ko Sihova.
17 ‘Do not hate anyone. Instead, honestly rebuke those who ought to be rebuked, in order that you also will not be guilty.
“ʻOua naʻa ke fehiʻa ki ho tokoua ʻi ho loto: ko e moʻoni ke ke valokiʻi ho kaungāʻapi, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ai pe ʻene angahala.
18 ‘Do not try to get revenge against someone or be angry with someone for a long time. Instead, love other people like you love yourself. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding this].
“ʻOua naʻa ke totongi kovi pe angafakamolokau ki he fānau ʻa ho kakai, ke ke ʻofa ki ho kaungāʻapi ʻo hangē pe ko koe: Ko au ko Sihova.
19 ‘Obey my laws. ‘Do not allow two different kinds of animals to mate with each other. ‘Do not plant two different kinds of seed in the [same] field. ‘Do not wear clothing made from two different kinds of material.
Te mou tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau. ʻOua naʻa ke tuku hoʻo fanga manu ke tauʻi ʻe he faʻahinga manu kehe: ʻoua naʻa ke tūtuuʻi hoʻo ngoue ʻaki ʻae ngaahi tenga kuo felavai; pea ke ʻoua naʻa ke ʻai ha kofu ʻoku felalangaʻaki ʻae filo tupenu mo e fulufuluʻi sipi.
20 ‘If a man has sex with a slave woman who has been promised to marry some other man, but she has not been bought by that man and is still a slave, the man who had sex with her must be punished. But because she is still a slave, she and the man who had sex with her must not be killed.
“Pea ko ia ʻe mohe angahala mo e fefine ʻoku pōpula, kuo poloʻi ki ha mali, pea ʻoku teʻeki ai huhuʻi, pe tauʻatāina ia; ʻe haha ia; ʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ʻakinaua, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ʻataʻatā ia.
21 However, that man must bring a ram to [be slaughtered at] the entrance of the Sacred Tent area, to be an offering in order that he no longer be guilty for his sin.
Pea ke ʻomi [ʻe he tangata ]ʻene feilaulau fai hala kia Sihova, ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻio, ko e sipitangata ki he feilaulau maʻae fai hala.
22 The priest will offer that ram to me in order that the man will be forgiven for the sin that he committed, and I will forgive him.
Pea ke fai ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae fakalelei maʻana ʻaki ʻae sipitangata ʻoe feilaulau maʻae fai hala ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi heʻene angahala ʻaia kuo ne fai: pea ʻe fakamolemole kiate ia ʻae angahala kuo ne fai.
23 ‘When you enter the land [that I have promised to give to you], and when you plant various kinds of fruit trees, you must not eat any of their fruit for three years [DOU].
“Pea ka mou ka hoko atu ki he fonua pea mou tō ai ʻae ngaahi ʻakau kehekehe ki he kai, te mou lau hono ngaahi fua ko e meʻa tapu; ko e taʻu ʻe tolu ʻe tapu ia kiate kimoutolu; ʻoua naʻa kai ia.
24 In the fourth year all of their fruit must be set aside to belong to me; it must be brought to me to be an offering to praise me.
Ka ʻi hono fā ʻoe taʻu ko e ngaahi fua kotoa pē ʻo ia ko e meʻa māʻoniʻoni ia ke fakafetaʻi ʻaki kia Sihova.
25 But in the fifth/next year, you will be permitted to eat their fruit. If you do that, your trees will produce much fruit. I, Yahweh your God, [am promising that].
Pea ʻi hono nima ʻoe taʻu te mou kai hono ngaahi fua, koeʻuhi ke tupu ʻo fua lahi hake kiate kimoutolu: Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
26 ‘Do not eat any meat that still has [the animal’s] blood in it. ‘Do not consult spirits to find out what will happen in the future, and do not practice sorcery.
“ʻOua naʻa mou kai ha meʻa ʻe taha mo hono toto: pea ʻoua naʻa mou fai tuki, pe fai ʻae talotalo kovi.
27 ‘Do not shave the hair at the sides of your heads [like pagan people do].
ʻOua naʻa mou kosi ke fuopotopoto homou louʻulu, pe maumauʻi hono potu tuliki ʻo hoʻomou kava.
28 ‘Do not cut your bodies [when you are mourning] for people who have died, and do not put tattoos on your bodies. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding this].
ʻOua naʻa mou tafatafaʻi homou sino koeʻuhi ko e pekia, pea ʻoua naʻa mou tātatau; Ko au ko Sihova.
29 ‘Do not disgrace your daughters by forcing them to become prostitutes. If you cause them to become prostitutes, soon the land will be filled with prostitutes and all other kinds of people’s wicked behavior.
“ʻOua naʻa ke fakaangahalaʻi ho ʻofefine, pe fakahoko ia ko e fefine fai angahala; telia naʻa hinga ʻae fonua ki he feʻauaki, pea hoko ʻo fonu ʻae fonua ʻi he anga kovi.
30 ‘Honor my Sabbath days and revere my Sacred Tent, because I, Yahweh, [live there].
“Te mou tauhi hoku ngaahi Sāpate, ʻo fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoku faletapu; Ko au ko Sihova.
31 ‘Do not seek advice from those who (consult/talk with) the spirits of dead people [DOU], because if you do that, they will defile you. I, Yahweh your God, [am the one you should consult].
“ʻOua naʻa tokanga kiate kinautolu ʻoku vaka ai ʻae kau laumālie ʻuli, pea ʻoua naʻa kumi ki he ngaahi taulafaʻahikehe tuki, ke mou ʻuli ai ʻiate kinautolu. Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
32 ‘Stand up when old people [enter the room], and show that you respect them, and also revere me, your God; [that is what] I, Yahweh, [am commanding].
“Ke ke tuʻu hake ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻuluhinā, ʻo fakaʻapaʻapa ki he mata ʻoe tangata motuʻa, pea manavahē ki ho ʻOtua; Ko au ko Sihova.
33 ‘When foreigners live among you [in your land], do not mistreat them.
“Pea kapau ʻoku nofo ʻāunofo ha muli mo koe ʻi ho fonua, ʻoua naʻa ke fakamamahiʻi ia.
34 You must treat them like you treat your fellow-citizens. Love them like you love yourselves, and do not forget that once, when you were foreigners in Egypt, [you were badly mistreated by the people of Egypt]. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding you to do this].
Ka ko e muli ʻoku nofo mo koe ʻe tatau ia mo e tokotaha kuo tupu ʻiate kimoutolu, pea te ke ʻofa kiate ia ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻofa kiate koe; he naʻa mou nofo ko e muli ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite; Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
35 ‘When you are measuring things, to see how long they are or how much they weigh or how many there are,
“ʻOua naʻa mou fai taʻetotonu ʻi he fakamaau, pe ʻi he meʻa fuofua pe ʻi he fakamamafa, pe ʻi he fakafuofua meʻa.
36 use correct [measuring sticks and] scales and weights [on the scales] and measuring baskets and other measuring containers. I Yahweh, your God, who brought you out of Egypt, [am giving you these laws].
Te mou fua ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakatatau totonu, mo e fakamamafa totonu mo e efa totonu, mo e hini totonu: Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
37 ‘Obey carefully [DOU] all my laws and decrees, because I, Yahweh, [am the one who am commanding them].’”
Ko ia te mou tokanga ai ki heʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau, ʻo fai ki ai. Ko au ko Sihova.
