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 come nigh unto a court of justice, and they judge them; and they justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked:
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.
Then shall it be, if the guilty man deserve to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to the degree of his fault, by a [certain] number.
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.
Forty stripes may he give him, not more; so that he shall not exceed to have him beaten above these with too many stripes, and thy brother be thus rendered vile 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 when he thresheth out the corn.
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.
If brothers dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child: then shall the wife of the dead not be married abroad, unto a stranger; her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to himself for wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her.
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 it shall be, that the first-born whom she may bear shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead; so that his name be not blotted 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.
And if the man have no desire to take his sister-in-law: then shall his sister-in-law go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform on me the duty of a husband's brother.
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;
Then shall the elders of his city call him, and speak unto him; and if he persist, and say, I have no desire to take her:
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.
Then shall his sister-in-law come nigh unto him in the presence of the elders, and pull his shoe from off his foot, and spit out before him, and shall commence and say, Thus shall be done unto that 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 barefooted.
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:
When men strive together one with the other, and the wife of the one draweth near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:
12 E oki ae i kona lima, mai minamina koa maka.
Then shalt thou cut off her hand, thy eye shall not have pity.
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 in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.
14 Aole hoi ma kou hale na ana elua, o ka mea nui, a me ka mea uuku.
Thou shalt not have in thy house divers measures, a great and a small.
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.
A perfect and just weight shalt thou have, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have; in order that thy days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord thy God giveth 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 an abomination of the Lord thy God is every one that doth such things, every one that acteth unrighteously.
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 'Amalek did unto thee, by the way, at your coming forth 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 by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all that were feeble behind thee, when thou was faint and weary; 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.
And it shall come to pass, when the Lord thy God giveth thee rest from all thy enemies round about, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of 'Amalek from under the heavens: thou shalt not forget.
