Kanawailua 24
1 A IA lawe ke kanaka i kekahi wahine a mare ia ia, a loaa ole i ka wahine ke alohaia mai imua o kona maka, no ka loaa i ke kane kekahi kina o ka wahine; alaila e kakau kela i palapala e hemo ai ka wahine, a e haawi aku ia mea ma kona lima, a e hookuke aku ia ia iwaho o kona hale.
“Suppose a man marries a woman and later decides that he does not want her because there is something about her that he doesn’t like. And suppose he writes on paper that he is divorcing her, and he gives the paper to her [SYN] and sends her away from his house.
2 A hala kela iwaho o kona hale, e hele no ia e lilo i wahine na kekahi kane hou.
Then suppose that she goes and marries another man,
3 Ina e inain ke kane hou ia ia, a kakau nana i palapala no ka hemo ana, a e haawi aku ia mea ma kona lima, a e hookuke aku ia ia mawaho o kona hale; a i make paha ke kane hou, nana ia i lawe i wahine nana:
and that man [later also] decides that he does not like her, and he also writes on paper that he is divorcing her, and he sends her away from his house. Or, suppose that the second husband dies.
4 O kana kane mamua, nana ia i hookuke aku, aole e pono ia ke lawe hou ia ia i wahine nana, mahope mai o kona haumia ana; no ka mea, he mea hoopailuaia imua o Iehova: mai hana aku oe i ka mea e hewa'i ka aina a Iehova kou Akua e haawi mai ai i wahi e noho ai nou.
If either of those things happens, her first husband must not marry her again. He must consider that she has become unacceptable to Yahweh. Yahweh would consider it to be disgusting [if he married her again]. You must not sin [MTY] by doing that in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”
5 Aia lawe ke kanaka i wahine hou nana, mai hele aku ia me ka poe kaua, aole hoi e kauia maluna ona kekahi hana: e noho kaawale ia ma kona wahi i hookahi makahiki, a e hooluolu aku i kana wahine ana i lawe ai.
“When some man has recently become married, he must not [be required to] become a soldier in the army or be required to do any other work [for the government] for one year [after being married]. He should stay happily at home with his wife for that year.
6 Mai laweia ka mea wili palaoa i uku panai, aole ka pohaku kaa luna; no ka mea, oia ke lawe i ko ke kanaka mea e ola'i i uku panai.
“Anyone who lends money to someone else [is allowed to require that person to give him something] to guarantee [that he will pay back the money that he borrowed. But] he must not take from him his (millstone/stone for grinding grain). That would be taking [the millstone that his family needs to grind the grain to make the bread] they need to stay alive.
7 Ina e ikeia ke kanaka e aihue ana i kekahi hoahanau ona o na mamo a Iseraela, a hoolilo ia ia i kauwa hooluhi, a kuai lilo aku paha ia ia; alaila e make ua kanaka aihue la; a e hoolei aku oe i ka ino mai waena aku o oukou.
“If someone kidnaps/steals a fellow Israeli to cause that person to become his slave or to sell him [to become someone else’s slave], you must execute the person who did that. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil among you.
8 E makaala i ka mai lepera, e malama pono, a e hana aku hoi i na mea a pau a na kahuna, a ka Levi e ao mai ai ia oukou; e like me ka'u i kauoha aku ai ia lakou, pela oukou e malama ai, a e hana'i hoi.
“If you are suffering from (leprosy/a dreaded skin disease), be sure to do everything that the priests, who are from the tribe of Levi, tell you to do. Obey carefully the instructions that I have given to them.
9 E hoomanao i ka mea a Iehova kou Akua i hana mai ai ia Miriama ma ke ala, i ko oukou hele ana mai Aigupita mai.
Do not forget what Yahweh our God did to Miriam, [when she became a leper], after your ancestors left Egypt.
10 A i haawi lilo ole oe i kekahi mea i kou hoalauna, mai hele aku iloko o kona hale e kii i kona uku panai.
“When you lend something to someone, do not go into his house to take the cloak that he says that he will give you to guarantee [that he will return what he has borrowed].
11 Mawaho oe e ku ai, a o ke kanaka ia ia ka mea au i haawi lilo ole, nana no e lawe mai mawaho i ka uku panai ia oe.
Stand outside his house, and the man to whom you are lending something will bring the cloak out to you.
12 Ina he kanaka ilihune ia, mai hiamoe oe me kona uku panai:
But if he is poor, do not keep that cloak all night.
13 E hoihoi no i ka uku panai ia ia i ka napoo ana o ka la; a e hiamoe ill me kone kapa, a e hoomaikai mai oia ia oe, a e lilo ia i pono nou imua o Iehova kou Akua.
When the sun sets, take the cloak back to him, in order that he may wear it while he sleeps. If you do that, he will [ask God to] bless you, and Yahweh our God will be pleased with you.
14 Mai alunu oe i ke kanaka hoolimalima ilihune, nele, aole i kekahi o kou poe hoahanau, aole hoi i kekahi o kou poe kanaka e ma kou aina, maloko o kou mau ipuka.
“Do not mistreat any servants whom you have hired who are poor and needy [DOU], whether they are Israelis or foreigners who are living in your town.
15 I kona manawa no, nau e haawi kona uku, aole ke kali ana a napoo ka la; no ka mea, na ilihune ia, a ua manao nui kona naau ma ia mea; malia o kahea aku oia ia Iehova nou, a e lilo ia i hewa nou.
Every day, before sunset, you must pay/give them the money that they have earned. They are poor and they need to get their pay. If you do not pay them right away, they will cry out against you to Yahweh, and he will punish [MTY] you for having sinned like that.
16 Mai make na makua no na keiki, aole hoi e make na keiki no na makua: e make no kela kanaka keia kanaka no kona hewa iho.
“Parents must not be executed for crimes that their children have committed, and children must not be executed for crimes that their parents have committed. People should be executed only for the crimes that they themselves have committed.
17 Mai hookeekee oe i ka pono o ka malihini, aole hoi i ke keiki makua ole, aole hoi oe e lawe i ke kapa aahu o ka wahinekanemake i uku panai.
“You must [LIT] do for foreigners [who live] among you and for orphans what the laws state must be done for them. And [if you lend something to] a widow, do not take her coat from her as a guarantee [that she will return it].
18 Aka, e hoomanao iho oe he kauwa hooluhi oe ma Aigupita, a na Iehova kou Akua oe i hoopakele ae ia wahi: nolaila, ke kauoha aku nei au ia oe e hana ia mea.
Do not forget that [you had great hardships/troubles when] you were slaves in Egypt, and Yahweh our God rescued you from there. That is why I am commanding you [to help others who have troubles].
19 Aia oki iho oe i kau palaoa ma kau mahinaai, a hoopoina oe i kekahi pua ma ka mahinaai, mai hele hou oe e kii ia mea; na ka malihini no ia, a na ka mea makua ole, a na ka wahinekanemake; i hoopomaikai mai ai o Iehova kou Akua ia oe i na hana a pau a kou mau lima.
“When you harvest your crops, if you have forgotten [that you left] one bundle in the field, do not go back to get it. [Leave it there] for foreigners, orphans, and widows. If you do that, Yahweh will bless you in everything that you do.
20 Aia hahau aku oe i kou laau oliva, mai huli hou oe i na lala: na ka malihini no ia, na ka mea makua ole, a na ka wahinekanemake.
And when you have harvested/picked all your olives from the trees once, do not go back [to pick the ones that are still] on the trees.
21 Aia hoiliili oe i na hua waina o kou pawaina, mai ohi oe i ke koena mahope ou: na ka malihini no ia, na ka mea makua ole, a na ka wahinekanemake.
[Similarly], when you pick the grapes in your vineyard, do not go back a second time [to try to find more]. Leave them for the foreigners, orphans, and widows [among you].
22 E hoomanao oe, he kauwa hooluhi oe ma ka aina o Aigupita: nolaila ke kauoha aku nei au ia oe e hana ia mea.
Do not forget that [Yahweh was kind to you when] you were slaves in Egypt. That is why I am commanding you [to be kind to those who are needy].”
