Kanawailua 25
1 I NA he mea e hakaka ai iwaena o na kanaka, a hele mai lakou ma kahi hookolokolo, i hooponopono ai na lunakanawai ia lakou; alaila e hoapono aku lakou i ka mea i pono, a e hoahewa aku i ka mea i hewa.
If there be a controversy between men, and they call upon the judges: they shall give the prize of justice to him whom they perceive to be just: and him whom they find to be wicked, they shall condemn of wickedness.
2 Ina he pono e lilo ka mea i hewa i ka hahauia, e hoomoe ka lunakanawai ia ia malalo, a e hahauia oia imua o kona maka, e like me ke ano o kona hewa, ma ka helu ana.
And if they see that the offender be worthy of stripes: they shall lay him down, and shall cause him to be beaten before them. According to the measure of the sin shall the measure also of the stripes be:
3 Hookahi kanaha ia e hahau ai ia ia, aole keu aku: ina e hahau hou ia ia, a nai ka hahau ana, e lilo auanei kou hoahanau i mea hoowahawahaia i kou maka.
Yet so, that they exceed not the number of forty: lest thy brother depart shamefully torn before thy eyes.
4 Mai hoopaa aku oe i ka waha o ka bipi e hehi ana i ka palaoa.
Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out thy corn on the floor.
5 Ina e noho pu na hoahanau kane, a make kekahi o lakou, aohe ana keiki, mai mare ka wahine a ka mea i make i ka malihini mawaho: na ka hoahanau o kana kane e hele iloko io na la, a e lawe ia ia i wahine nana, a e malama aka i ka oihana o ka hoahanau o kana kane.
When brethren dwell together, and one of them dieth without children, the wife of the deceased shall not marry to another: but his brother shall take her, and raise up seed for his brother:
6 A o ka hanau mua ana e hanau ai, e lawe no ia i ka inoa o kona hoahanau i make, i nalowale ole ai kona inoa mai ka Iseraela aku.
And the first son he shall have of her he shall call by his name, that his name be not abolished out of Israel.
7 Ina makemake ole ke kanaka e lawe i ka wahine a kona hoahanau, alaila e pii ka wahine a kona hoahanau ma ka ipaka i na lunakahiko, a e i aku, Ua hoole ka hoahanau o kuu kane e hooku i ka inoa no kona hoahanau iloko o ka Iseraela, aole ia i haliu mai e malama i ka oihana o ka hoahanau o kuu kane.
But if he will not take his brother’s wife, who by law belongeth to him, the woman shall go to the gate of the city, and call upon the ancients, and say: My husband’s brother refuseth to raise up his brother’s name in Israel: and will not take me to wife.
8 Alaila e kahea aku na lunakahiko o kona kulanakauhale ia ia, a e olelo aku ia ia; a i kupaa ia, a e i mai, Aole o'u makemake e lawe ia ia;
And they shall cause him to be sent for forthwith, and shall ask him. If he answer: I will not take her to wife:
9 Alaila e hele mai ka wahine a kona hoahanau ia ia imua o na lunakahiko, a e kala ae i kona kamaa mai kona wawae, a e kuha aku i kona maka, me ka olelo aku, Pela e hanaia'ku ai i ke kanaka, i ka mea kukulu ole i ka hale o kona hoahanau.
The woman shall come to him before the ancients, and shall take off his shoe from his foot, and spit in his face, and say: So shall it be done to the man that will not build up his brother’s house:
10 A e kapaia kona inoa iloko o ka Iseraela, O ka hale o ka mea i kalaia kona kamaa.
And his name shall be called in Israel, the house of the unshod.
11 A i hakaka pu na kanaka, kekahi kanaka a me kona hoahanau, a hookokoke mai ka wahine a kekahi e hoopakele i kana kane i ka lima o ka mea i pepehi mai ia ia, a hoopaa aku ia ia ma kona wahi hilahila:
If two men have words together, and one begin to fight against the other, and the other’s wife willing to deliver her husband out of the hand of the stronger, shall put forth her hand, and take him by the secrets,
12 E oki ae i kona lima, mai minamina koa maka.
Thou shalt cut off her hand, neither shalt thou be moved with any pity in her regard.
13 Mai waiho iloko o kou aa i na mea kaupouna ano lua, i ka mea nui a me ka mea uuku.
Thou shalt not have divers weights in thy bag, a greater and a less:
14 Aole hoi ma kou hale na ana elua, o ka mea nui, a me ka mea uuku.
Neither shall there be in thy house a greater bushel and a less.
15 E malama oe i ka pouna pono, a me ka pololei, a me ke ana pono a me ka pololei; i loihi ai koa mau la ma ka aina a Iehova kou Akua i haawi mai ai ia oe.
Thou shalt have a just and a true weight, and thy bushel shall be equal and true: that thou mayest live a long time upon the land which the Lord thy God shall give thee.
16 No ka mea, ua hoowahawahaia e Iehova na mea a pau e hana ana i keia mau mea, a me ka poe a pau e hana ana i ka mea pono ole.
For the Lord thy God abhorreth him that doth these things, and he hateth all injustice.
17 E hoomanao i ka mea a ka Amaleka i hana mai ai ia oe ma ke ala i ko oakoa hele ana, mai Aigupita mai.
Remember what Amalec did to thee in the way when thou camest out of Egypt:
18 I ko lakou halawai ana me oe ma ke ala, a pepehi mai ma kou hope i na mea nawaliwali a pau mahope ou ia oe i nawaliwali ai, a i maloeloe ai; aole lakou i makau i ke Akua.
How he met thee: and slew the hindmost of the army, who sat down, being weary, when thou wast spent with hunger and labour, and he feared not God.
19 No ia mea, aia hoomaha mai o Iehova kou Akua ia oe mai kou poe enemi a puni, ma ka aina a Ienova kou Akua i hoolilo mai ai nou, e hokai loa aku oe i ka Amaleka malalo ae o ka lani; mai hoopoina oe.
Therefore when the Lord thy God shall give thee rest, and shall have subdued all the nations round about in the land which he hath promised thee: thou shalt blot out his name from under heaven. See thou forget it not.
