Leviticus 18
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
2 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, I [am] Jehovah your God;
Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, Ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
3 according to the work of the land of Egypt in which ye have dwelt ye do not, and according to the work of the land of Canaan whither I am bringing you in, ye do not, and in their statutes ye walk not.
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 'My judgments ye do, and My statutes ye keep, to walk in them; I [am] Jehovah your God;
Me mahi aku whakaritenga, kia mau ki aku tikanga, me haere hoki i reira; ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
5 and ye have kept My statutes and My judgments which man doth and liveth in them; I [am] Jehovah.
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 unto any relation of his flesh doth draw near to uncover nakedness; I [am] Jehovah.
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 and the nakedness of thy mother thou dost not uncover, she [is] thy mother; thou dost 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 the wife of thy father thou dost not uncover; it [is] the nakedness of thy father.
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, daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, born at home or born without; thou dost not uncover their nakedness.
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: thou dost not uncover their nakedness; for theirs [is] thy 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 a daughter of thy father's wife, begotten of thy father, she [is] thy sister; thou dost 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 'The nakedness of a sister of thy father thou dost not uncover; she [is] a relation of thy father.
Kei hurahia te tuahine o tou papa kia takoto tahanga: he whanaunga tupu ia no tou papa.
13 'The nakedness of thy mother's sister thou dost not uncover; for she [is] thy mother's relation.
Kei hurahia e koe te tuakana, teina ranei, o tou whaea kia takoto tahanga: he whanaunga tupu hoki ia no tou whaea.
14 'The nakedness of thy father's brother thou dost not uncover; unto his wife thou dost not draw near; 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 'The nakedness of thy daughter-in-law thou dost not uncover; she [is] thy son's wife; thou dost 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 'The nakedness of thy brother's wife thou dost not uncover; 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 'The nakedness of a woman and her daughter thou dost not uncover; her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter thou dost not take to uncover her nakedness; they [are] her relations; 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 'And a woman unto another thou dost not take, to be an adversary, to uncover her nakedness beside her, in her life.
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 'And unto a woman in the separation of her uncleanness thou dost not draw near to uncover her nakedness.
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 'And unto the wife of thy fellow thou dost not give thy seed of copulation, for uncleanness with her.
Kaua ano hoki e takoto puremu ki te wahine a tou hoa, whakapoke ai i a koe ki a ia.
21 'And of thy seed thou dost not give to pass over to the Molech; nor dost thou pollute the name of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.
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 'And with a male thou dost not lie as one lieth with a woman; abomination it [is].
Kei takotoria wahinetia te tane: he mea whakarihariha tena.
23 'And with any beast thou dost not give thy copulation, for uncleanness with it; and a woman doth not stand before a beast to lie down with it; confusion it [is].
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 'Ye are not defiled with all these, for with all these have the nations been defiled which I am sending away from 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, and I charge its iniquity upon it, and the land vomiteth out its 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 and ye — ye have kept My statutes and My judgments, and do not [any] of all these abominations, the native and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst,
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 who [are] 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 and the land doth not vomit you out in your defiling it, as it hath vomited out the nation which [is] 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 any one who doth [any] of all these abominations — even the persons who are doing [so], have been cut off from the midst of 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 and ye have kept My charge, so as not to do [any] of the abominable statutes which have been done before you, and ye do not defile yourselves with them; I [am] Jehovah 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.
