Deuteronomy 25
1 'When there is a strife between men, and they have come nigh unto the judgment, and they have judged, and declared righteous the righteous, and declared wrong the wrong-doer,
Ki te mea he tautohe ta etahi, a ka haere mai kia whakawakia, a ka whakawakia e nga kaiwhakariterite; me whakatika e ratou ta te tika, me whakahe ta te he;
2 then it hath come to pass, if the wrong-doer is to be smitten, that the judge hath caused him to fall down, and [one] hath smitten him in his presence, according to the sufficiency of his wrong-doing, by number;
A, ki te meinga te tangata kino kia whiua, na me mea ia e te kaiwhakariterite kia takoto, kia whiua ki mua i tona aroaro, kia rite ki tona kino te maha o nga whiu.
3 forty [times] he doth smite him — he is not adding, lest, he is adding to smite him above these — many stripes, and thy brother is lightly esteemed in thine eyes.
Kia wha tekau ana whakapanga ki a ia, kaua e maha ake: he mea hoki, ki te tuhene, a ka maha atu i enei nga whakapanga, na ka iti tou teina ki tau titiro.
4 'Thou dost not muzzle an ox in its threshing.
Kaua e whakamokatia te kau ina takahia e ia te witi.
5 'When brethren dwell together, and one of them hath died, and hath no son, the wife of the dead is not without to a strange man; her husband's brother doth go in unto her, and hath taken her to him for a wife, and doth perform the duty of her husband's brother;
Ki te noho tahi te taina me te tuakana, a ka mate tetahi o raua, a kahore ana tama, kaua te wahine a te tangata i mate e marenatia ki waho, ki te tangata ke; me haere tona autane ki a ia, ka tango ai i a ia hei wahine mana, me mea ki a ia nga mea e tika ana ma te autane.
6 and it hath been, the first-born which she beareth doth rise for the name of his dead brother, and his name is not wiped away out of Israel.
A, ka whanau tana matamua, ko ia hei whakarerenga iho mo te ingoa o tona tuakana, teina ranei, i mate nei, a ka kore tona ingoa e horoia atu i roto i a Iharaira.
7 'And if the man doth not delight to take his brother's wife, then hath his brother's wife gone up to the gate, unto the elders, and said, My husband's brother is refusing to raise up to his brother a name in Israel; he hath not been willing to perform the duty of my husband's brother;
Ki te kahore taua tangata e pai ki te tango i tona auwahine, katahi ka haere tona auwahine ki te kuwaha, ki nga kaumatua, a ka mea, E kore toku autane e pai ki te whakatupu ingoa mo tona tuakana, teina ranei, i roto i a Iharaira, e kore e meatia e ia nga mea e tika ana ma toku autane.
8 and the elders of his city have called for him, and spoken unto him, and he hath stood and said, I have no desire to take her;
Katahi ka karangatia ia e nga kaumatua o tona pa, a ka korero ratou ki a ia; a, ki te u tonu tana, a ka mea ia, E kore ahau e pai ki te tango i a ia;
9 'Then hath his brother's wife drawn nigh unto him, before the eyes of the elders, and drawn his shoe from off his foot, and spat in his face, and answered and said, Thus it is done to the man who doth not build up the house of his brother;
Katahi ka whakatata tona auwahine ki a ia i te tirohanga a nga kaumatua, a ka unu i tona hu i tona waewae, ka tuwha hoki ki tona mata, a ka korero ake, ka mea, Kia peneitia te tangata e kore e hanga i te whare o tona tuakana, teina ranei.
10 and his name hath been called in Israel — The house of him whose shoe is drawn off.
A ka huaina tona ingoa i roto i a Iharaira, Ko te whare o te tangata i unuhia nei tona hu.
11 'When men strive together, one with another, and the wife of the one hath drawn near to deliver her husband out of the hand of his smiter, and hath put forth her hand, and laid hold on his secrets,
Ki te whawhai etahi tangata ki a raua, a ka whakatata te wahine a tetahi ki te whakaora i tana tahu i te tangata e patu ana i a ia, a ka totoro tona ringa, ka mau hoki ki ona wahi ngaro;
12 then thou hast cut off her hand, thine eye doth not spare.
Me tapahi atu e koe tona ringa, kaua e tohu tou kanohi.
13 'Thou hast not in thy bag a stone and a stone, a great and a small.
Kaua e waiho i roto i tau kete nga kohatu pauna e kore e taurite, te mea nui, te mea iti.
14 Thou hast not in thy house an ephah and an ephah, a great and a small.
Kaua e waiho i roto i tou whare nga mehua e kore e taurite, te mea nui, te mea iti.
15 Thou hast a stone complete and just, thou hast an ephah complete and just, so that they prolong thy days on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee;
Hei te mea rite tonu, hei te mea tika, tau kohatu pauna; hei te mea rite tonu, hei te mea tika, tau mehua: kia roa ai ou ra ki te whenua e homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe.
16 for the abomination of Jehovah thy God [is] any one doing these things, any one doing iniquity.
He mea whakarihariha hoki ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, te hunga katoa e pena ana, te hunga katoa e he ana te mahi.
17 'Remember that which Amalek hath done to thee in the way, in your going out from Egypt,
Kia mahara ki ta Amareke i mea ai ki a koe i te ara, i to koutou putanga mai i Ihipa;
18 that he hath met thee in the way, and smiteth in all those feeble behind thee (and thou wearied and fatigued), and is not fearing God.
Ki tona tutakitanga ki a koe ki te ara, a patua iho tou hiku e ia, nga mea ngoikore katoa i muri i a koe, i a koe e hemo ana, e ngenge ana; a kihai ia i wehi ki te Atua.
19 And it hath been, in Jehovah thy God's giving rest to thee, from all thine enemies round about, in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance to possess it — thou dost blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens — thou dost not forget.
Mo reira e meinga koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, kia okioki i ou hoariri katoa a tawhio noa, ki te whenua e homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe kia nohoia hei kainga tupu, me ukui rawa atu te maharatanga ki a Amareke i raro i te rangi; kei warewar e rawa koe.
