Rewitikuha 19

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

Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 Korero ki te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, Kia tapu koutou: he tapu hoki ahau, a Ihowa, to koutou Atua.

“Speak to the whole congregation of Israel and tell them: Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.

3 Me wehi tera, tera, ki tona whaea, ki tona papa, kia mau hoki ki aku hapati: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

Each of you must respect his mother and father, and you must keep My Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God.

4 Kei tahuri ki te whakapakoko, kei whakarewaina he atua ma koutou: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves molten gods. I am the LORD your God.

5 Ki te whakaherea ano he patunga mo te pai ki a Ihowa, hei te patunga e manakohia ai koutou.

When you sacrifice a peace offering to the LORD, you shall offer it for your acceptance.

6 Me kai i te rangi ano i whakaherea ai, i te aonga ake ano hoki: a ki te toe tetahi wahi ki te toru o nga ra, me tahu ki te ahi.

It shall be eaten on the day you sacrifice it, or on the next day; but what remains on the third day must be burned up.

7 Ki te kainga hoki tetahi wahi i te toru o nga ra, ka whakariharihangia; e kore e manakohia:

If any of it is eaten on the third day, it is tainted and will not be accepted.

8 A ka waha o ratou hara e nga tangata katoa i kainga ai, no te mea kua whakanoatia te mea tapu a Ihowa; a ka hatepea atu tauta tangata i roto i tona iwi.

Whoever eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned what is holy to the LORD. That person must be cut off from his people.

9 Ina kotia e koutou nga hua o to koutou whenua, kaua e kotia rawatia nga kokonga o tau mara, kaua ano hoki e hamua nga toenga o au hua.

When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.

10 Kaua hoki e hamua tau mara waina, kaua ano e kohia nga karepe taka o tau mara waina; me waiho ma te rawakore, ma te tangata iwi ke: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

You must not strip your vineyard bare or gather its fallen grapes. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the LORD your God.

11 Kaua e tahae; kaua hoki e teka, kaua ano e tinihanga tetahi ki tetahi.

You must not steal. You must not lie or deceive one another.

12 Kei oatitia tekatia hoki toku ingoa, kaua ano hoki e whakanoatia te ingoa o tou Atua: ko Ihowa ahau.

You must not swear falsely by My name and so profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.

13 Kaua e tukinotia tou hoa, kaua hoki e pahuatia: kaua nga utu o te kaimahi e takoto tonu ki a koe i te po, a tae noa ki te ata.

You must not defraud your neighbor or rob him. You must not withhold until morning the wages due a hired hand.

14 Kaua e kanga te turi, kaua ano e maka he whakatutuki ki te aroaro o te matapo; engari me wehi ki tou Atua: ko Ihowa ahau.

You must not curse the deaf or place a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear your God. I am the LORD.

15 Kei whakahaere he ina whakawa; kaua e whakaaro ki te kanohi o te rawakore, kaua hoki e whakahonoretia te kanohi o te nui: me whakawa koe mo tou hoa i runga i te tika.

You must not pervert justice; you must not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the rich; you are to judge your neighbor fairly.

16 Kaua e kopikopiko i roto i tou iwi kawekawe korero ai: kaua ano hoki e tu kia whakahekea te toto o tou hoa: ko Ihowa ahau.

You must not go about spreading slander among your people. You must not endanger the life of your neighbor. I am the LORD.

17 Kei kino koe ki tou teina i roto i tou ngakau: riria marietia tou hoa, kaua e waiho he hara i runga i a ia.

You must not harbor hatred against your brother in your heart. Directly rebuke your neighbor, so that you will not incur guilt on account of him.

18 Kaua e rapu utu, kaua hoki e mauahara ki nga tamariki a tou iwi; engari arohaina tou hoa ano ko koe: ko Ihowa ahau.

Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against any of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.

19 Kia mau ki aku tikanga. Kaua e whakatupuria he uri mo au kararehe ki tera atu tu karerehe: kaua e whakauruurua nga purapura e whakatongia e koe ki tau mara: kaua ano hoki e meatia ki a koe he kakahu ko tetahi wahi he rinena, ko tetahi he huruhur u.

You are to keep My statutes. You shall not crossbreed two different kinds of livestock; you shall not sow your fields with two kinds of seed; and you shall not wear clothing made of two kinds of material.

20 Ki te takoto puremu hoki tetahi ki te wahine pononga kua oti te taumau ma te tane, ki te mea kihai i utua, i whakahokia, kihai ano hoki i tukua kia haere noa atu; ka whiua raua; e kore raua e whakamatea, no te mea kihai ia i tukua kia haere noa atu.

If a man lies carnally with a slave girl promised to another man but who has not been redeemed or given her freedom, there must be due punishment. But they are not to be put to death, because she had not been freed.

21 A me kawe e te tane tana whakahere mo te he ki a Ihowa, ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, he hipi toa hei whakahere mo te he.

The man, however, must bring a ram to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting as his guilt offering to the LORD.

22 A ka whakamarie te tohunga mona ki te hipi toa, ki te whakahere mo te he ki te aroaro o Ihowa, mo tona hara i hara ai; a ku murua tona hara i hara ai.

The priest shall make atonement on his behalf before the LORD with the ram of the guilt offering for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven the sin he has committed.

23 E tae hoki koutou ki te whenua, a ka whakatongia e koutou nga rakau kai katoa; me waiho nga hua hei mea kokotikore, kia toru nga tau e waiho ai e koutou hei mea kokotikore: e kore e kainga.

When you enter the land and plant any kind of tree for food, you shall regard the fruit as forbidden. For three years it will be forbidden to you and must not be eaten.

24 I te wha ia o nga tau ka tapu nga hua katoa o reira, hei whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa.

In the fourth year all its fruit must be consecrated as a praise offering to the LORD.

25 Engari i te rima o nga tau me kai e koutou nga hua o reira, a ka maha ake ona hua ma koutou: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

But in the fifth year you may eat its fruit; thus your harvest will be increased. I am the LORD your God.

26 Kaua e kainga tototia tetahi mea: kaua ano hoki e rapu tikanga i nga tohu, i nga kapua.

You must not eat anything with blood still in it. You must not practice divination or sorcery.

27 Kaua e whakaporotakatia nga taha o o koutou mahunga, kaua ano hoki e whakaahuatia kinotia nga taha o tou pahau.

You must not cut off the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.

28 Kaua e haea o koutou kikokiko mo te tapapaku, kaua ano hoki e taia he tohu ki a koutou: ko Ihowa ahau.

You must not make any cuts in your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.

29 Kaua e whakanoatia tau tamahine, e meinga hei wahine kairau; kei riro te whenua i te kairau, a ka ki te whenua i te kino.

You must not defile your daughter by making her a prostitute, or the land will be prostituted and filled with depravity.

30 Kia mau ki aku hapati, kia hopohopo hoki ki toku wahi tapu: ko Ihowa ahau.

You must keep My Sabbaths and have reverence for My sanctuary. I am the LORD.

31 Kaua e whakaaro atu ki nga waka atua, kaua ano hoki e whai atu ki nga mata maori, whakapokea ai e ratou: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

You must not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out, or you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God.

32 Me whakatika ake koe i te aroaro o te matenga hina, me whakahonore hoki te mata o te koroheke, me wehi ano hoki ki tou Atua: ko Ihowa ahau.

You are to rise in the presence of the elderly, honor the aged, and fear your God. I am the LORD.

33 Ki te noho hoki te tangata iwi ki ki a koe, ki tou whenua, kaua koutou e mahi i te kino ki a ia.

When a foreigner resides with you in your land, you must not oppress him.

34 Ki ta koutou kia rite ki tetahi o o koutou tangata whenua te manene e noho ana i a koutou, arohaina ia ano ko koe; he manene hoki koutou i mua, i te whenua o Ihipa: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

You must treat the foreigner living among you as native-born and love him as yourself, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

35 Kei he ta koutou whakahaere ina whakawa, i te ruri ranei, i te pauna taimaha ranei, i te mehua ranei.

You must not use dishonest measures of length, weight, or volume.

36 Kia tika a koutou pauna, kia tika nga whakataimaha, kia tika te epa, kia tika hoki te hine: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua, i kawe mai nei i a koutou i te whenua o Ihipa.

You shall maintain honest scales and weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

37 Mo reira kia mau ki aku tikanga katoa, me aku whakaritenga katoa, mahia ano hoki: ko Ihowa ahau.

You must keep all My statutes and all My ordinances and follow them. I am the LORD.”
