Ekoruhe 22

1 Ki te tahae te tangata i te kau, i te hipi ranei, a ka patua, ka hokona ranei e ia; kia rima nga kau e homai e ia hei utu mo te kau kotahi, kia wha hoki nga hipi mo te hipi kotahi.

And if one steal an ox or a sheep, and kill it or sell it, he shall pay five calves for a calf, and four sheep for a sheep.

2 Ki te mau te tahae e poka ara ana, a ka patua, ka mate, kahore he toto e heke mona.

And if the thief be found in the breach [made by himself] and be struck and die, there shall not be blood shed for him.

3 Ki te mea kua whiti te ra ki a ia, ka heke he toto mona; me homai hoki e ia he utu; ki te kahore ana mea, na, me hoko ia mo tana tahae.

But if the sun be risen upon him, he is guilty, he shall die instead; and if a thief have nothing, let him be sold in compensation for what he has stolen.

4 Ki te mau pu ki tona ringa te mea i tahaetia, he kau, he kaihe ranei, he hipi ranei, a e ora ana; kia rua nga utu e homai e ia.

And if the thing stolen be left and be in his hand alive, whether ox or sheep, he shall restore them two-fold.

5 Ki te mea tetahi tangata kia kainga tetahi mara, tetahi kari waina ranei, a ka tukua atu e ia tana kararehe hei kai i te mara a tetahi; me utu e ia ki nga hua papai rawa o tana mara, ki nga hua papai rawa hoki o tana kari waina.

And if any one should feed down a field or a vineyard, and should send in his beast to feed down another field, he shall make compensation of his own field according to his produce; and if he shall have fed down the whole field, he shall pay for compensation the best of his own field and the best of his vineyard.

6 Ki te toro atu te ahi, a ka pono ki nga tataramoa, a ka pau nga whakapu witi, te witi ranei e tu ana, te mara ranei; me ata whakautu e te tangata nana i tahu te ahi.

And if fire have gone forth and caught thorns, and should also set on fire threshing-floors or ears of corn or a field, he that kindled the fire shall make compensation.

7 Ki te homai e te tangata tetahi moni, etahi mea ranei, ki tona hoa kia tiakina, a ka tahaetia i roto i te whare o taua tangata; ki te kitea te tahae, kia rua nga utu e homai e ia.

And if any one give to his neighbor money or goods to keep, and they be stolen out of the man's house, if the thief be found he shall repay double.

8 Ki te kahore i kitea te tahae, na, me kawe te rangatira o te whare ki te Atua, kia kitea me kahore i totoro tona ringaringa ki nga taonga a tona hoa.

But if the thief be not found, the master of the house shall come forward before God, and shall swear that surely he has not wrought wickedly in regard of any part of his neighbor's deposit,

9 I nga whakawakanga hara katoa mo te kau, kaihe, hipi, kakahu, mo te ngaromanga o tetahi mea e kiia ana e tetahi nona, me haere te korero a te tokorua ki te Atua; ko te tangata kua whakataua te he ki a ia e te Atua, kia rua nga utu e homai e ia ki tona hoa.

according to every injury alleged, both concerning a calf, and an ass, and a sheep, and a garment, and every alleged loss, whatever in fact it may be, —the judgment of both shall proceed before God, and he that is convicted by God shall repay to his neighbor double.

10 Ki te homai e tetahi he kaihe ki tona hoa, he kau ranei, he hipi ranei, tetahi ranei o nga tini kararehe, kia tiakina; a ka mate, ka whara ranei, ka pahuatia ranei, kihai ano hoki i kitea:

And if any one give to his neighbor to keep a calf or sheep or any beast, and it be wounded or die or be taken, and no one know,

11 Ka waiho i waenganui i a raua te oati a Ihowa, mo tona ringa kihai i totoro atu ki te taonga o tona hoa: a me whakaae mai e te rangatira o taua mea, e kore ano hoki e utua.

an oath of God shall be between both, [each swearing] that he has surely not at all been guilty in the matter of his neighbor's deposit; and so his master shall hold him guiltless, and he shall not make compensation.

12 Otiia ki te mea kua tahaetia atu i a ia, me hoatu he utu ki tona rangatira.

And if it be stolen from him, he shall make compensation to the owner.

13 Ki te mea kua haehaea, me kawe mai e ia hei whakaatu, a e kore e utua e ia te mea i haea.

And if it be seized of beasts, he shall bring him to [witness] the prey, and he shall not make compensation.

14 Ki te tikina ano hoki e te tangata tetahi mea a tona hoa, a ka whara, ka mate ranei, me te ngaro ano te rangatira o taua mea, me ata whakautu ano e ia.

And if any one borrow [ought] of his neighbor, and it be wounded or die or be carried away, and the owner of it be not with it, he shall make compensation.

15 Kei reira te rangatira, e kore e utua: ki te mea e utua ana tona tukunga, i haere mai hoki mo tona utu.

But if the owner be with it, he shall not make compensation: but if it be a hired thing, there shall be [a compensation] to him instead of his hire.

16 Ki te whakawai te tangata i te kotiro kihai i taumautia, a ka moe raua, me whakarite he tapakuha, a me marena e ia hei wahine mana.

And if any one deceive a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her for a wife to himself.

17 Ki te tino whakakahore rawa tona papa, a e kore e tukua ki a ia, me homai e ia nga moni e rite ana ki te kaireperepe mo nga kotiro.

And if her father positively refuse, and will not consent to give her to him for a wife, he shall pay compensation to her father according to the amount of the dowry of virgins.

18 Kei tukua e koe te wahine makutu kia ora.

You shall not save the lives of sorcerers.

19 Ko te tangata i takotoria e ia he kararehe, me whakamate rawa.

Every one that lies with a beast you shall surely put to death.

20 Me whakangaro rawa te tangata e patu whakahere ana ma tetahi atua ke; engari ma Ihowa anake.

He that sacrifices to any gods but to the Lord alone, shall be destroyed by death.

21 Kaua hoki e whakatoia te manene, kaua ano hoki ia e tukinotia: he manene hoki koutou i mua, i te whenua o Ihipa.

And you shall not hurt a stranger, nor afflict him; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

22 Kaua e whakatupuria kinotia te pouaru, te pani ranei.

You shall hurt no widow or orphan.

23 Ki te anga koe ki te whakatupukino i a raua, a ka tangi raua ki ahau, ina, ka whakarongo ahau ki ta raua karanga;

And if you should afflict them by ill-treatment, and they should cry aloud to me, I will surely hear their voice.

24 A ka mura toku riri, ka patua ano hoki koutou ki te hoari; a ka pouarutia a koutou wahine, ka pania ano hoki a koutou tamariki.

And I will be very angry, and will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall be widows and your children orphans.

25 Ki te whakatarewa koe i te moni ki tetahi o taku iwi, ki tetahi o ou rawakore, kei rite tau ki a ia ki ta te kaiwhakatuputupu moni, kei tangohia i a ia te moni whakatuputupu.

And if you should lend money to your poor brother who is by you, you shall not be hard upon him you shall not exact usury of him.

26 Ki te tangohia e koe te kakahu o tou hoa hei taunaha, kaua e tukua kia rere te ra ka whakahoki ai ki a ia:

And if you take your neighbor's garment for a pledge, you shall restore it to him before sunset.

27 Ko tena anake na hoki hei uhi mona, hei kakahu mona, mo tona kiri: a ko te aha hei moenga iho mona? ki te karanga mai hoki ia ki ahau, na ka whakarongo atu ahau; no te mea he mahi tohu tangata taku.

For this is his clothing, this is the only covering of his nakedness; wherein shall he sleep? If then he shall cry to me, I will listen to him, for I am merciful.

28 Kaua e kohukohu ki te Atua, kaua ano hoki e kanga ki te ariki o tou iwi.

You shall not revile the gods, nor speak ill of the ruler of your people.

29 Kei whakaroa koe ki te homai i nga matamua o ou hua, o ou wai: me homai e koe te matamua o au tamariki ki ahau.

You shall not keep back the first fruits of your threshing floor and press. The firstborn of your sons you shall give to me.

30 Kia pera ano tau e mea ai ki au kau, ki au hipi: e whitu nga ra e noho ai ia ki tona whaea; i te waru o nga ra me homai ki ahau.

So shall you do with your calf and your sheep and your ass; seven days shall it be under the mother, and the eighth day you shall give it to me.

31 Hei tangata tapu hoki koutou maku: kaua ano e kai i te kikokiko i haea ki te parae; me maka ma te kuri.

And you shall be holy men to me; and you shall not eat flesh taken of beasts, you shall cast it to the dog.
