Tiuteronomi 25
1 Ki te mea he tautohe ta etahi, a ka haere mai kia whakawakia, a ka whakawakia e nga kaiwhakariterite; me whakatika e ratou ta te tika, me whakahe ta te he;
If there is a controversy between men, and they come to judgment, and the judges judge them; then they shall justify the upright, and condemn as guilty the wicked.
2 A, ki te meinga te tangata kino kia whiua, na me mea ia e te kaiwhakariterite kia takoto, kia whiua ki mua i tona aroaro, kia rite ki tona kino te maha o nga whiu.
It shall be, if the wicked man is worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his wickedness, by number.
3 Kia wha tekau ana whakapanga ki a ia, kaua e maha ake: he mea hoki, ki te tuhene, a ka maha atu i enei nga whakapanga, na ka iti tou teina ki tau titiro.
He may sentence him to no more than forty stripes. He shall not give more; lest, if he should give more, and beat him more than that many stripes, then your brother will be degraded in your sight.
4 Kaua e whakamokatia te kau ina takahia e ia te witi.
You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
5 Ki te noho tahi te taina me te tuakana, a ka mate tetahi o raua, a kahore ana tama, kaua te wahine a te tangata i mate e marenatia ki waho, ki te tangata ke; me haere tona autane ki a ia, ka tango ai i a ia hei wahine mana, me mea ki a ia nga mea e tika ana ma te autane.
If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies, and has no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married outside to a stranger. Her husband’s brother shall go in to her, and take her as his wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her.
6 A, ka whanau tana matamua, ko ia hei whakarerenga iho mo te ingoa o tona tuakana, teina ranei, i mate nei, a ka kore tona ingoa e horoia atu i roto i a Iharaira.
It shall be that the firstborn whom she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name not be blotted out of Israel [God prevails].
7 Ki te kahore taua tangata e pai ki te tango i tona auwahine, katahi ka haere tona auwahine ki te kuwaha, ki nga kaumatua, a ka mea, E kore toku autane e pai ki te whakatupu ingoa mo tona tuakana, teina ranei, i roto i a Iharaira, e kore e meatia e ia nga mea e tika ana ma toku autane.
If the man does not want to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife shall go up to the gate to the elders, and say, “My husband’s brother refuses to raise up to his brother a name in Israel [God prevails]. He will not perform the duty of a husband’s brother to me.”
8 Katahi ka karangatia ia e nga kaumatua o tona pa, a ka korero ratou ki a ia; a, ki te u tonu tana, a ka mea ia, E kore ahau e pai ki te tango i a ia;
Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him: and if he stands and says, “I don’t want to take her;”
9 Katahi ka whakatata tona auwahine ki a ia i te tirohanga a nga kaumatua, a ka unu i tona hu i tona waewae, ka tuwha hoki ki tona mata, a ka korero ake, ka mea, Kia peneitia te tangata e kore e hanga i te whare o tona tuakana, teina ranei.
then his brother’s wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face. She shall answer and say, “So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother’s house.”
10 A ka huaina tona ingoa i roto i a Iharaira, Ko te whare o te tangata i unuhia nei tona hu.
His name shall be called in Israel [God prevails], “The house of him who had his shoe removed.”
11 Ki te whawhai etahi tangata ki a raua, a ka whakatata te wahine a tetahi ki te whakaora i tana tahu i te tangata e patu ana i a ia, a ka totoro tona ringa, ka mau hoki ki ona wahi ngaro;
When men strive against each other, and the wife of one draws near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him who strikes him, and puts out her hand, and takes him by his private parts,
12 Me tapahi atu e koe tona ringa, kaua e tohu tou kanohi.
then you shall cut off her hand. Your eye shall have no pity.
13 Kaua e waiho i roto i tau kete nga kohatu pauna e kore e taurite, te mea nui, te mea iti.
You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, one heavy and one light.
14 Kaua e waiho i roto i tou whare nga mehua e kore e taurite, te mea nui, te mea iti.
You shall not have in your house diverse measures, one large and one small.
15 Hei te mea rite tonu, hei te mea tika, tau kohatu pauna; hei te mea rite tonu, hei te mea tika, tau mehua: kia roa ai ou ra ki te whenua e homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe.
You shall have a perfect and just weight. You shall have a perfect and just measure, that your days may be long in the land which Adonai your God gives you.
16 He mea whakarihariha hoki ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, te hunga katoa e pena ana, te hunga katoa e he ana te mahi.
For all who do such things, all who deal dishonestly, are an abomination to Adonai your God.
17 Kia mahara ki ta Amareke i mea ai ki a koe i te ara, i to koutou putanga mai i Ihipa;
Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as you came out of Egypt [Abode of slavery];
18 Ki tona tutakitanga ki a koe ki te ara, a patua iho tou hiku e ia, nga mea ngoikore katoa i muri i a koe, i a koe e hemo ana, e ngenge ana; a kihai ia i wehi ki te Atua.
how he met you by the way, and struck the rearmost of you, all who were feeble behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he didn’t fear God.
19 Mo reira e meinga koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, kia okioki i ou hoariri katoa a tawhio noa, ki te whenua e homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe kia nohoia hei kainga tupu, me ukui rawa atu te maharatanga ki a Amareke i raro i te rangi; kei warewar e rawa koe.
Therefore it shall be, when Adonai your God has given you rest from all your enemies all around, in the land which Adonai your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, that you shall blot out the memory of Amalek [Man who licks up] from under the sky. You shall not forget.
