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 is a dispute between men and they go to court, and the judges judge them, then they will acquit 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.
If the guilty man deserves to be beaten, then the judge will make him lie down and be beaten in his presence with the ordered number of blows, as was his crime.
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.
The judge may give him forty blows, but he may not exceed that number; for if he should exceed that number and beat him with many more blows, then your fellow Israelite would be humiliated before your eyes.
4 Mai hoopaa aku oe i ka waha o ka bipi e hehi ana i ka palaoa.
You must not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
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 live together and one of them dies, not having any son, then the wife of the dead man must not be married off to someone else outside the family. Instead, her husband's brother must sleep with her and take her to himself as a wife, and do the duty of a husband's brother to 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.
This is so that the firstborn that she bears will succeed in the name of that man's dead brother, so that his name will not perish from 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 the man does not wish to take his brother's wife for himself, then his brother's wife must go up to the gate to the elders and say, 'My husband's brother refuses to raise up for his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband's brother to me.'
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 the elders of his city must call him and speak to him. But suppose that he insists and says, 'I do not wish 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 his brother's wife must come up to him in the presence of the elders, take off his sandal from his foot, and spit in his face. She must answer him and say, 'This is what is done to the man who does 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.
His name will be called in Israel, 'The house of him whose sandal has been taken off.'
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 men fight with each other, and the wife of one comes to rescue her husband out of the hand of him who struck him, and if she stretches out her hand and takes him by the private parts,
12 E oki ae i kona lima, mai minamina koa maka.
then you must cut off her hand; your eye must have no pity.
13 Mai waiho iloko o kou aa i na mea kaupouna ano lua, i ka mea nui a me ka mea uuku.
You must not have in your bag different weights, a large and a small.
14 Aole hoi ma kou hale na ana elua, o ka mea nui, a me ka mea uuku.
You must not have in your house different measures, a large 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 you must have; a perfect and just measure you must have, so that your days may be long in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you.
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 all who do such things, all that act unrighteously, are an abomination to Yahweh your God.
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.
Call to mind what Amalek did to you on the road as you came 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 you on the road and attacked those of you at the rear, all who were feeble in your rear, when you were faint and weary; he did not honor 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 Yahweh your God has given you rest from all your enemies round about, in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you must not forget that you must blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
