Tiuteronomi 15
1 Hei te mutunga o nga tau e whitu ka mea koe he tukunga noatanga.
At the end of seven years, shalt thou make a release.
2 A ko te tikanga tenei mo te tuku noa: ko nga kaiwhakatarewa moni katoa, e whakatarewa moni ana ki o ratou hoa, me tuku noa atu; kaua te kaiwhakatarewa e tohe ki tona hoa, ki tona teina ranei; no te mea e karangatia ana ko te tukunga noatanga a Ih owa.
And, this, shall be the manner of the release, Every creditor who lendeth aught to his neighbour, his hand shall release it, —he shall not exact it of his neighbour or his brother, because there hath been proclaimed a release unto Yahweh.
3 He tangata iwi ke, tohea atu: ko tau mea ia i tou teina, me tuku noa e tou ringa.
Of a foreigner, thou mayest exact it, —but, what thou hast with thy brother, thy hand shall release;
4 Engari hoki me kore te rawakore i roto i a koe; ka manaaki rawa hoki a Ihowa i a koe i runga i te whenua ka homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe, kia tangohia hei kainga tupu:
save, when there shall be among you no needy person, —for Yahweh will indeed bless, thee, in the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee as an inheritance to possess it:
5 Ki te ata whakarongo i a koe ki te reo o Ihowa, o tou Atua, kia puritia, kia mahia enei whakahau katoa e whakahau nei ahau i tenei ra ki a koe.
only if thou do hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, —to observe to do—all this commandment which I am commanding thee to-day.
6 No te mea ka manaakitia koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ka peratia me tana i ki ai ki a koe: a mau e whakatarewa moni ki nga iwi maha, ko koe ia kaua e tango i te moni tarewa; a ko koe hei ariki mo nga iwi maha, kahore hoki ratou e ariki ki a koe.
When, Yahweh thy God, hath blessed thee, as he spake unto thee, then shalt thou lend unto many nations but thou, shalt not borrow, and, thou shalt rule over many nations but over thee, shall they not rule.
7 Ki te mea kei roto i a koe tetahi e rawakore ana, tetahi o ou teina, i roto i tetahi o ou kuwaha o tou whenua, e homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe, kaua e whakauaua tou ngakau, kaua hoki e kopia tou ringa ki tou teina rawakore:
When there cometh to be among you a needy person any one of thy brethren within any one of thy gates, in thy land, which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart nor shut thy hand from thy needy brother;
8 Engari me whakatuwhera marie tou ringa ki a ia, kia ngawari hoki ki te whakatarewa moni ki a ia kia rite ki tona mate i te mea e hapa ana i a ia.
but thou shalt, open, thy hand unto him, —and, lend, him enough to meet the poverty which doth impoverish him.
9 Kia tupato kei puta ake te whakaaro kino i roto i tou ngakau, kei mea, E tata ana te tau whitu, te tau tuku noa; a ka kino tou kanohi ki tou teina rawakore, a e kore e hoatu e koe ki a ia; na ka tangi atu ia ki a Ihowa i a koe ka kino nei, a ka w hai hara koe.
Take thou heed to thyself lest there be something near thine abandoned heart, saying—Drawing nigh, is the seventh year the year of release, and so thine eye be evil, against thy needy brother, and thou give not unto him, —and he cry out against thee unto Yahweh, and it become in thee a sin!
10 Me tino hoatu e koe ki a ia, kaua hoki tou ngakau e pouri, ina hoatu e koe ki a ia: ko te mea hoki tenei e manaaki ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe, i au mahi katoa, i nga mea katoa e totoro atu ai tou ringa.
Thou shalt, give, unto him, and thy heart shall not be evil when thou givest unto him, —for on account of this very thing, will Yahweh thy God bless thee, in all that thou doest and in all whereunto thou puttest thy hand.
11 E kore hoki e kore te rawakore i te whenua: koia taku e whakahau nei ki a koe, e mea nei, Kia tuwhera tonu tou ringa ki tou teina, ki tou hunga matekai, ki ou rawakore, i tou whenua.
For the needy will not cease out of the midst of the land—for this cause, am I commanding thee, saying, Thou shalt open, thy hand unto thy brother to thy poor and to thy needy, in thy land.
12 Ki te hokona atu ki a koe tou teina, he tane Hiperu, he wahine Hiperu ranei, a ka mahi ki a koe e ono nga tau; na hei te whitu o nga tau me tuku ia kia haere noa atu i a koe.
When thy brother a Hebrew man (or a Hebrew woman) selleth himself unto thee, then shall he serve thee six years, —and in the seventh year, shalt thou let him go out free from thee;
13 A, ki te tuku koe i a ia kia haere noa atu i a koe, kaua ia e tukua rawakoretia atu:
and when thou lettest him go out free, from thee, thou shalt not let him go out empty:
14 Engari kia mahorahora te hoatu ki a ia i etahi o au hipi, o tau patunga witi, o tau poka waina hoki: me hoatu ki a ia etahi o nga mea i hoatu e Ihowa, e tou Atua, hei manaaki mou.
thou shalt, richly load, him out of thy flock, and out of thy threshing-floor and out of thy wine-vat, —of that wherewith Yahweh thy God hath blessed thee, shalt thou give unto him;
15 Kia mahara hoki he pononga koe i mua, i te whenua o Ihipa, a na Ihowa, na tou Atua, koe i whakaora: koia ahau i whakahau ai i tenei mea ki a koe inaianei.
and thou shalt remember that a servant, thou wast in the land of Egypt, and that Yahweh thy God, redeemed thee, —for this cause, am I commanding thee this thing, to-day.
16 Na ki te mea ia ki a koe, E kore ahau e mawehe atu i a koe; he aroha hoki nona ki a koutou ko tou whare, he pai no tana noho ki a koe;
And it shall be, if he shall say unto thee, I will not go away from thee, —because he loveth thee, and thy household, because he is well off with thee,
17 Katahi koe ka tango i tetahi mea poka, ka titi ai i tona taringa ki te tatau, a ka waiho ia hei pononga mau, oti tonu atu. Me pena hoki ki tau pononga wahine.
then shalt thou take an awl and thrust it through his ear unto the door, so shall he be thy servant all his life. And unto thine handmaid also, shalt thou do thus.
18 Kei mea he pakeke rawa ki a koe, ina tukua ia kia haere noa atu i a koe; e rite ana hoki ana mahi ki a koe i nga tau e ono ki a nga kaimahi tokorua e utua ana: a ka manaaki a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe i nga mea katoa e mea ai koe.
It shall not be hard in thine eyes when thou lettest him go out free, from thee; for to the double of the hire of a hireling, hath he served thee six years, —so will Yahweh thy God bless thee, in all that thou doest.
19 Ko nga toa matamua e whanau ana i roto i au kau, i au hipi, me whakatapu e koe ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua: kaua e whakamahia tau puru matamua, kaua hoki e kutikutia tau hipi matamua:
Every firstling that is brought forth in thy herd and in thy flock that is a male, shalt thou hallow unto Yahweh thy God, —thou shalt not work with a firstling of thine oxen, neither shalt thou shear a firstling of thy flock:
20 Kainga ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, i tenei tau, i tenei tau, e koe, e tou whare, ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, tou Atua:
before Yahweh thy God, shalt thou eat it year by year, in the place which Yahweh shall choose, —thou, and thy household.
21 A ki te mea he koha tona, ina ra he totitoti, he matapo, tetahi atu koha kino ranei, kaua ia e patua ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua.
But, when there is in it any blemish, lameness or blindness, any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto Yahweh thy God:
22 Kainga i roto i ou kuwaha: ma te poke, ma te pokekore taua mea e kai, pera me te kahera, me te hata.
within thine own gates, mayest thou eat it, —the unclean of you and the clean alike, as the gazelle and as the hart.
23 Otiia kaua e kainga ona toto; ringihia atu ki te whenua, ano he wai.
Only the blood thereof, shalt thou not eat, —on the earth, shalt thou pour it out like water.
