Tiuteronomi 24
1 Ki te tango te tangata i te wahine, a ka marena i a ia, na, ki te kore ia e manakohia e ia, no te mea kua kitea e ia tetahi he ona, me tuhituhi e ia he pukapuka whakarere ki a ia, ka hoatu ki tona ringa, a ka tono atu i a ia ki waho o tona whare.
WHEN a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
2 A, ka puta ia i tona whare, ka ahei ia te haere a ka riro hei wahine ma tetahi atu.
And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife.
3 A, ki te kino to muri tahu ki a ia, a ka tuhituhia e ia he pukapuka whakarere ki a ia, ka hoatu hoki ki tona ringa, ka tono atu ano hoki i a ia i roto i tona whare; ki te mate ranei to muri tahu i tango nei i a ia hei wahine mana;
And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;
4 E kore e ahei i te tahu tuatahi, nana nei ia i tono atu, te tango ano i a ia hei wahine mana i muri i tona whakapokenga; he mea whakarihariha hoki tena ki te aroaro o Ihowa; kaua ano hoki e mea kia whai hara te whenua i hoatu nei e Ihowa, e tou A tua, ki a koe hei kainga tupu.
Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the Lord: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
5 Ki te tango te tangata i te wahine hou, kaua ia e haere ki te whawhai, kaua ano hoki tetahi mahi e whakaritea mana: me noho noa ia i tona whare kia kotahi tau, whakahari ai i te ngakau o tana wahine i tango ai.
When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.
6 Kaua e tangohia e te tangata to raro kohatu, to runga kohatu ranei o te mira, hei taunaha: he tango hoki tena i te oranga o te tangata hei taunaha.
No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh a man’s life to pledge.
7 Ki te mau tetahi tangata e tahae ana i tetahi o ona teina o nga tama a Iharaira, hei pononga mana, hei hoko ranei mana, me mate taua tahae: a ka whakakorea atu e koe te kino i roto i a koe.
If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.
8 Kia mahara, i nga panga mai o te repera, kia whakaritea marietia, kia mahia nga mea katoa e ako ai nga tohunga, nga Riwaiti, ki a koutou: kia mahara kia mahia taku i whakahau ai ki a ratou.
Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.
9 Maharatia ta Ihowa, ta tou Atua, i mea ai ki a Miriama i te ara, i to koutou haerenga mai i Ihipa.
Remember what the Lord thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.
10 Ki te whakatarewa atu koe i tetahi mea ki tou hoa, kaua e haere ki roto ki tona whare ki te tiki atu i tana taunaha.
When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
11 Me tu atu koe i waho, a ma te tangata i a ia nei tau mea, e kawe mai te taunaha ki a koe ki waho.
Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
12 Otiia mehemea he rawakore taua tangata, kei moe koe me te takoto tahi mai tana taunaha:
And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:
13 Me tino whakahoki atu e koe te taunaha ki a ia ina toene te ra, kia moe ai ia i roto i tona kakahu, a ka manaaki i a koe: a ka waiho hei tika mou ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua.
In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the Lord thy God.
14 Kei tukinotia e koe te kaimahi, he rawakore, he mate, ahakoa no ou tuakana, no ou tangata iwi ke ranei i tou whenua, i roto i ou kuwaha:
Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates:
15 Me hoatu e koe tona utu i tona ra, kei to te ra me te takoto ano taua mea; he rawakore hoki ia, a e okaka ana tona ngakau ki taua nea: kei karanga ia ki a Ihowa mo tou kino, a ka waiho hei hara mou.
At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the Lord, and it be sin unto thee.
16 E kore e whakamatea nga matua mo te he o nga tamariki, e kore ano hoki e whakamatea nga tamariki mo te he o nga matua: mo tona ake hara ano e whakamatea ai tena tangata, tena.
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
17 Kei whakapeaua ketia e koe te whakawa mo te manene, mo te pani ranei; kaua ano hoki e tangohia te kakahu o te pouaru hei taunaha:
Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow’s raiment to pledge:
18 Engari kia mahara he pononga koe i Ihipa, a na Ihowa, na tou Atua, koe i whakaora mai i reira: koia ahau i whakahau ai i a koe ki te mea i tenei mea.
But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the Lord thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
19 Ka kotia e koe au hua i tau mara, a ka wareware tetahi paihere i te mara, kei hoki koe ki te tiki: waiho ma te manene, ma te pani, ma te pouaru: kia manaakitia ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, i nga meatanga katoa a ou ringa.
When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.
20 E taia e koe tau oriwa, kaua e hoki ano ki nga manga ketu ai: waiho ma te manene, ma te pani, ma te pouaru.
When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
21 E whakiia e koe nga karepe o tau mara waina, kaua e hamua i muri i a koe: waiho ma te manene, ma te pani, ma te pouaru.
When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
22 Me mahara ano hoki koe he pononga koe i te whenua o Ihipa; koia ahau i whakahau ai i a koe kia mea i tenei mea.
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
