Tiuteronomi 23
1 Ko te tangata kua unakatia, kua romiromia, kua tapahia atu ranei tona mea ngaro, e kore e uru ki roto ki te whakaminenga a Ihowa.
No man whose private parts have been wounded or cut off may come into the meeting of the Lord's people.
2 E kore e uru te poriro ki roto ki te whakaminenga a Ihowa; ahakoa tae ki te tekau o ona whakatupuranga, e kore e uru ki roto ki te whakaminenga a Ihowa.
One whose father and mother are not married may not come into the meeting of the Lord's people, or any of his family to the tenth generation.
3 E kore e uru te Amoni, te Moapi ranei, ki roto ki te whakaminenga a Ihowa; ahakoa tae ki te tekau o o ratou whakatupuranga, e kore e uru ki roto ki te whakaminenga a Ihowa ake ake:
No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their people to the tenth generation may come into the meeting of the Lord's people:
4 Mo ratou kihai i whakatau i a koutou, me te mau taro mai, me te mau wai mai mo koutou ki te ara, i to koutou putanga mai i Ihipa; mo ratou hoki i utu i a Paraama, i te tama a Peoro i Petoro i Mehopotamia, hei kanga mou.
Because they gave you no bread or water on your way, when you came out of Egypt: and they got Balaam, the son of Peor, from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to put curses on you.
5 Otiia kihai a Ihowa, tou Atua, i pai ki te whakarongo ki ta Paraama; engari whakaputaina ketia ake e Ihowa, e tou Atua te kanga hei manaaki mou; no te mea e aroha ana a Ihowa, tou Atua, ki a koe.
But the Lord your God would not give ear to Balaam, but let the curse be changed into a blessing to you, because of his love for you.
6 Kei whai koe kia mau te rongo ki a ratou, kia kake ranei ratou i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe.
Do nothing for their peace or well-being for ever.
7 Kaua e whakarihariha ki te Eromi; ko tou tuakana hoki ia; kaua e whakarihariha ki te Ihipiana; he manene hoki koe i tona whenua i mua.
But have no hate for an Edomite, because he is your brother, or for an Egyptian, for you were living in his land.
8 Kei te toru o nga whakatupuranga ka uru a ratou tamariki e whanau ai ki roto ki te whakaminenga a Ihowa.
Their children in the third generation may come into the meeting of the Lord's people.
9 Ki te haere a ope atu koe ki ou hoariri, kia tupato i nga mea kino katoa.
When you go out to war and put your tents in position, keep from every evil thing.
10 Ki te mea kei roto i a koe tetahi tangata kahore i ma i te paheketanga o te po, na me haere atu ia ki waho o te puni; kaua ia e haere ki roto ki te puni:
If any man among you becomes unclean through anything which has taken place in the night, he is to go out from the tent-circle and keep outside it:
11 Otiia ka whakaahiahi, na me koroi ia e ia ki te wai; a ka toene te ra, ka haere ia ki roto ki te puni.
But when evening comes near, let him take a bath: and after sundown he may come back to the tents.
12 A me waiho e koe tetahi wahi i waho o te puni, hei putanga atu mou ki waho:
Let there be a place outside the tent-circle to which you may go;
13 Kia whai kaheru hoki koe i roto i au mea; a ka noho koe ki waho, na me keri e koe ki taua mea, a ka tahuri ki te tanu i te mea i puta i roto i a koe:
And have among your arms a spade; and when you have been to that place, let that which comes from you be covered up with earth:
14 Kei te haereere hoki a Ihowa, tou Atua, i waenganui o tou puni, hei whakaora i a koe, hei tuku hoki i ou hoariri ki tou aroaro; mo reira kia tapu tou puni: kei kite ia i tetahi mea whakarihariha i roto i a koe, a ka tahuri ke i a koe.
For the Lord your God is walking among your tents, to keep you safe and to give up into your hands those who are fighting against you; then let your tents be holy, so that he may see no unclean thing among you, and be turned away from you.
15 Kaua e tukua atu ki tona rangatira te pononga i tahuti mai i tona rangatira ki a koe:
Do not give back to his master a servant who has gone in flight from his master and come to you:
16 Me noho ia ki a koe, ki waenga ou, ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai ia, ki tetahi o ou kuwaha, ki tana e pai ai: kaua ia e tukinotia.
Let him go on living among you in whatever place is most pleasing to him: do not be hard on him.
17 Kaua tetahi o nga tamahine a Iharaira e waiho hei kairau, kaua ano hoki tetahi o nga tama a Iharaira e whakatangata o Horoma.
No daughter of Israel is to let herself be used as a loose woman for a strange god, and no son of Israel is to give himself to a man.
18 Kei kawea e koe te utu o te wahine kairau, te utu ranei o te kuri ki roto ki te whare o Ihowa, o tou Atua, hei mea ki taurangi: he mea whakarihariha hoki ena e rua ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua.
Do not take into the house of the Lord your God, as an offering for an oath, the price of a loose woman or the money given to one used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: for these two things are disgusting to the Lord your God.
19 Kei whakatarewa koe i tetahi mea ki tou teina hei mea whakatupu; hei moni whakatupu, hei kai whakatupu, i tetahi ranei o nga mea e whakatarewaina ana hei whakatupu:
Do not take interest from an Israelite on anything, money or food or any other goods, which you let him have:
20 He tangata ke, whakatarewaina atu te moni whakatupu; ki tou teina ia kaua e whakatarewaina: kia manaakitia ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, i nga mea katoa e totoro atu ai tou ringa i runga i te whenua e haere atu nei koe ki reira tango ai.
From men of other nations you may take interest, but not from an Israelite: so that the blessing of the Lord your God may be on everything to which you put your hand, in the land which you are about to take as your heritage.
21 Ki te puaki tau ki taurangi ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kei whakaroa ki te whakamana; no te mea ka whaia mai e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe; a ka waiho hei hara mou.
When you take an oath to the Lord, do not be slow to give effect to it: for without doubt the Lord your God will make you responsible, and will put it to your account as sin.
22 Ki te kahore ia e puaki tau ki taurangi, e kore e waiho hei hara mou.
But if you take no oath, there will be no sin.
23 Ko te mea i puta atu i ou ngutu kai mana i a koe, mahia; kia rite hoki ki tau ki taurangi ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, hei whakahere tuku noa, hei pera me ta tou mangai i korero ai.
Whatever your lips have said, see that you do it; for you gave your word freely to the Lord your God.
24 E haere koe ki te mara waina a tou hoa, kainga nga karepe e pai ai koe, a makona noa koe; kaua ia e kohia etahi ki tau oko.
When you go into your neighbour's vine-garden, you may take of his grapes at your pleasure, but you may not take them away in your vessel.
25 E haere koe ki te witi kahore ano kia kotia a tou hoa, na ma tou ringa e kato etahi hua; kaua ia he toronaihi e akina atu ki te witi a tou hoa, kahore ano kia kotia e ia.
When you go into your neighbour's field, you may take the heads of grain with your hand; but you may not put your blade to his grain.
