Tiuteronomi 15
1 Hei te mutunga o nga tau e whitu ka mea koe he tukunga noatanga.
At the end of [every] seven years thou shalt 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 [is] the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth [aught] to his neighbor shall release [it]; he shall not exact [it] of his neighbor, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD'S release.
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 again]: but [that] which is thine 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 no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] 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 shalt carefully hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this 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.
For the LORD thy God shall bless thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend to many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.
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:
If there shall be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD the God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy poor 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 wide to him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, [in that] which he wanteth.
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.
Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thy eye shall be evil against thy poor brother, and thou shalt give him naught; and he shall cry to the LORD against thee, and it shall be sin to thee.
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 surely give him, and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou givest to him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thy hand to.
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 poor shall never cease from the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thy hand wide to 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.
[And] if thy brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, shall be sold to thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go 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 sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him depart 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 furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy wine-press: [of that] with which the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give to 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 thou wast a bond-man in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing this 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 to thee, I will not leave thee; because he loveth thee and thy house, because he is well 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 thou shalt take an awl, and thrust [it] through his ear into the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also to thy maid-servant thou shalt do likewise.
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 seem hard to thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been of double the worth of a hired servant [to thee], in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall 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:
All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.
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:
Thou shalt eat [it] before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD 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.
And if there is [any] blemish in it, [as if it is] lame, or blind, [or hath] any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it to the LORD 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.
Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean [person shall eat it] alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.
23 Otiia kaua e kainga ona toto; ringihia atu ki te whenua, ano he wai.
Only thou shalt not eat its blood; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.
