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.
“If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it or sells it, he shall pay five oxen for an ox, 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.
If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt of bloodshed 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.
If the sun has risen on him, he is guilty of bloodshed. He shall make restitution. If he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
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.
If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.
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.
“If a man causes a field or vineyard to be eaten by letting his animal loose, and it grazes in another man’s field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field, and from the best of his own 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.
“If fire breaks out, and catches in thorns so that the shocks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed; he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
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.
“If a man delivers to his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it is stolen out of the man’s house, if the thief is found, he shall pay 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.
If the thief isn’t found, then the master of the house shall come near to God, to find out whether or not he has put his hand on his neighbor’s goods.
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.
For every matter of trespass, whether it is for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, about which one says, ‘This is mine,’ the cause of both parties shall come before God. He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.
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:
“If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies or is injured, or driven away, no man seeing it;
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.
the oath of Yahweh shall be between them both, he has not put his hand on his neighbor’s goods; and its owner shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.
12 Otiia ki te mea kua tahaetia atu i a ia, me hoatu he utu ki tona rangatira.
But if it is stolen from him, the one who stole shall make restitution to its 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.
If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for evidence. He shall not make good that which was torn.
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.
“If a man borrows anything of his neighbor’s, and it is injured, or dies, its owner not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.
15 Kei reira te rangatira, e kore e utua: ki te mea e utua ana tona tukunga, i haere mai hoki mo tona utu.
If its owner is with it, he shall not make it good. If it is a leased thing, it came for its lease.
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.
“If a man entices a virgin who isn’t pledged to be married, and lies with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.
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.
If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
18 Kei tukua e koe te wahine makutu kia ora.
“You shall not allow a sorceress to live.
19 Ko te tangata i takotoria e ia he kararehe, me whakamate rawa.
“Whoever has sex with an animal shall surely be put to death.
20 Me whakangaro rawa te tangata e patu whakahere ana ma tetahi atua ke; engari ma Ihowa anake.
“He who sacrifices to any god, except to Yahweh only, shall be utterly destroyed.
21 Kaua hoki e whakatoia te manene, kaua ano hoki ia e tukinotia: he manene hoki koutou i mua, i te whenua o Ihipa.
“You shall not wrong an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
22 Kaua e whakatupuria kinotia te pouaru, te pani ranei.
“You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child.
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;
If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;
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 my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
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.
“If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor. You shall not charge him interest.
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:
If you take your neighbor’s garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,
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 that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.
28 Kaua e kohukohu ki te Atua, kaua ano hoki e kanga ki te ariki o tou iwi.
“You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a 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 delay to offer from your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. “You shall give the firstborn of your sons 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.
You shall do likewise with your cattle and with your sheep. It shall be with its mother seven days, then on 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.
“You shall be holy men to me, therefore you shall not eat any meat that is torn by animals in the field. You shall cast it to the dogs.
