Rewitikuha 12

1 I Korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

2 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu, Ki te hapu tetahi wahine, a ka whanau he tane, na kia whitu nga ra e poke ai ia; kia rite tona pokenga ki nga ra o tona mate paheke.

Lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Kapau ʻoku feitama ha fefine, pea fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama tangata: pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu; ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi ʻaho fakamavahe ʻi hono mahaki.

3 A i te waru o nga ra ka kotia te kiri matamata o te tamaiti.

Pea ʻi hono valu ʻoe ʻaho ʻe kamu ʻae muʻa kili ʻo hono potu[ʻoe tama tangata].

4 A me noho te wahine ki te toto o tona purenga, kia toru tekau ma toru nga ra: kaua ia e pa ki tetahi mea tapu, e haere ranei ki te wahi tapu, kia taka ra ano nga ra mo tona purenga.

Pea ʻe nofo pē[ʻae fefine ]ʻi he toto ʻo hono fakamaʻa ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolungofulu ma tolu; ʻe ʻikai te ne ala ki ha meʻa tapu, pe hū ki he faletapu, kaeʻoua ke kakato ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hono fakamaʻa.

5 Ki te mea ia ka whanau he kotiro, kia rua nga wiki e poke ai, kia rite ki o tona paheketanga: a kia ono tekau ma ono nga ra e noho ai ia ki te toto o tona purenga.

Pea kapau te ne fāʻeleʻi ha taʻahine, ʻe taʻemaʻa ai ia ʻi he uike ʻe ua, ʻo hangē ko hono mavahe: pea te ne nofo ʻi he ʻaho ʻe onongofulu ma ono koeʻuhi ko e toto mo hono fakamaʻa.

6 A ka rite nga ra mo tona purenga mo te tama, mo te kotiro ranei, me kawe mai e ia he reme, hei te tau tahi, hei tahunga tinana, me te pi kukupa, me te kukupa ranei, hei whakahere hara ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ki te tohun ga:

Pea ka kakato ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hono fakamaʻa, koeʻuhi ko e tama, pe ko e taʻahine, te ne ʻomi ʻe ia ha lami ʻoe ʻuluaki taʻu ki he feilaulau tutu, mo e lupe mui, pe ha kulukulu, ko e feilaulau maʻae angahala, ki he taulaʻeiki ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai:

7 A mana e whakahere ki te aroaro o Ihowa, a ka meinga he whakamarie mona; a ka kore ona poke i te rerenga o ona toto. Ko te ture tenei mo te wahine kua whanau nei tana tama, kotiro ranei.

‌ʻAia te ne ʻatu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne fai ʻae fakalelei maʻana; pea ʻe fakamaʻa ai ia mei he ʻau ʻo hono toto. Ko eni ʻae fono kiate ia kuo ne fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama pe ko e taʻahine.

8 A ki te kahore e taea e ia i ona rawa te kawe mai he reme, me kawe mai nga kukupa e rua, nga pi kukupa ranei e rua; ko tetahi hei tahunga tinana, ko tetahi hei whakahere hara: a ma te tohunga e whakamarie mona, a ka kore ona poke.

Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai faʻa ʻomi ʻe ia ha lami, te ne toki ʻomi ʻe ia ha kulukulu ʻe ua, pe ko e lupe mui ʻe ua; ko e taha ki he feilaulau tutu, pea ko e taha ki he feilaulau maʻae angahala: pea ʻe fai ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae fakalelei maʻana, pea ʻe maʻa ai ia.
