Rewitikuha 20

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

Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 Me korero ano koe ki nga tama a Iharaira, Ahakoa no nga tama a Iharaira, no te manene ranei e noho ana i a Iharaira, te tangata i hoatu e ia tona uri ki a Moreke, ina, me whakamate ia: me aki e nga tangata whenua ki te kohatu.

“Tell the Israelites, ‘Any Israelite or foreigner living in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death. The people of the land are to stone him.

3 Ka u atu ano hoki toku mata ki taua tangata, a ka hatepea atu e ahau i roto i tona iwi; mona i hoatu i tona uri ki a Moreke, whakapoke ai i toku wahi tapu, whakanoa ai hoki i toku ingoa tapu.

And I will set My face against that man and cut him off from his people, because by giving his offspring to Molech, he has defiled My sanctuary and profaned My holy name.

4 A ki te huna e nga tangata whenua o ratou kanohi, kei kite i taua tangata, ina hoatu e ia tona uri ki a Moreke, a e kore e whakamate i a ia;

And if the people of the land ever hide their eyes and fail to put to death the man who gives one of his children to Molech,

5 Ko reira u atu ai toku mata ki taua tangata, ki ona whanaunga hoki, a ka hatepea atu e ahau i roto i to ratou iwi, a ia, me nga tangata katoa e whai ana i a ia, puremu atu ai, puremu ai ki a Moreke.

then I will set My face against that man and his family and cut off from among their people both him and all who follow him in prostituting themselves with Molech.

6 Ki te tahuri ano tetahi wairua ki nga waka atua, ki nga mata maori, whai atu ai, puremu atu ai ki a ratou, ka u atu ano toku mata ki taua wairua, a ka hatepea atu i roto i tona iwi.

Whoever turns to mediums or spiritists to prostitute himself with them, I will also set My face against that person and cut him off from his people.

7 Engari whakatapua koutou, kia tapu ano hoki: ko Ihowa hoki ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

Consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, because I am the LORD your God.

8 A kia mau ki aku tikanga, me mahi ano hoki: ko Ihowa ahau e whakatapu nei i a koutou.

And you shall keep My statutes and practice them. I am the LORD who sanctifies you.

9 Ki te kanga hoki e tetahi tona papa, tona whaea ranei, me whakamate rawa: kua kanga e ia a tona papa, whaea ranei; ko runga ano i a ia ona toto.

If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or mother; his blood shall be upon him.

10 A ki te puremu tetahi ki te wahine a te tangata, me whakamate rawa te kaipuremu ki te wahine a tona hoa, te kaipuremu raua ko te wahine i puremutia.

If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must surely be put to death.

11 Me te tangata hoki i takoto ki te wahine a tona papa, kua hurahia e ia tona papa kia takoto tahanga: me whakamate raua tokorua; ko runga i a raua o raua toto.

If a man lies with his father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness. Both must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

12 Ki te takoto hoki te tangata ki tana hunaonga wahine, me whakamate rawa raua tokorua: he mahi anuanu ta raua; ko runga i a raua o raua toto.

If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both must surely be put to death. They have acted perversely; their blood is upon them.

13 Ki te takoto hoki he tangata ki a raua whakatane ki te pera me te takoto ki te wahine, he mahi whakarihariha ta raua, me whakamate rawa raua; ko runga i a raua o raua toto.

If a man lies with a man as with a woman, they have both committed an abomination. They must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

14 Ki te tango hoki te tangata i te wahine raua ko tona whaea, he mea kino tena: me taha ratou ki te ahi, te tane me nga wahine: kei whai kino koutou i roto i a koutou.

If a man marries both a woman and her mother, it is depraved. Both he and they must be burned in the fire, so that there will be no depravity among you.

15 Ki te takoto hoki te tangata ki te kararehe, me whakamate rawa ia: me whakamate ano hoki te kararehe.

If a man lies carnally with an animal, he must be put to death. And you are also to kill the animal.

16 Ki te whakatata hoki te wahine ki tetahi kararehe, a ka takoto ki a ia, me whakamate e koe te wahine raua ko te kararehe: me whakamate rawa raua; ko runga i a raua o raua toto.

If a woman approaches any animal to mate with it, you must kill both the woman and the animal. They must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

17 Ki te tango hoki te tangata i tona tuahine i te tamahine a tona papa, i te tamahine ranei a tona whaea, a ka kite i a ia e takoto tahanga ana, a ka kite ano te wahine i a ia e takoto tahanga ana: he mea kino tena; a ka hatepea atu raua i te tiro hanga a nga tamariki o to raua iwi: nana hoki i hura tona tuahine kia takoto tahanga; ka waha e ia tona kino.

If a man marries his sister, whether the daughter of his father or of his mother, and they have sexual relations, it is a disgrace. They must be cut off in the sight of their people. He has uncovered the nakedness of his sister; he shall bear his iniquity.

18 Ki te takoto hoki te tangata ki te wahine i a ia e paheke ana, a ka hura i a ia kia takoto tahanga; kua takoto kau i a ia tona puna, kua whakaaturia ano e te wahine te puna o ona toto: a ka hatepea atu raua i roto i to raua iwi.

If a man lies with a menstruating woman and has sexual relations with her, he has exposed the source of her flow, and she has uncovered the source of her blood. Both of them must be cut off from among their people.

19 Kaua ano e hurahia kia takoto tahanga te teina, tuakana ranei, o tou whaea, te tuahine ranei o tou papa: e hurahia ana hoki e ia tona whanaunga tupu: ka waha e raua to raua kino.

You must not have sexual relations with the sister of your mother or your father, for it is exposing one’s own kin; both shall bear their iniquity.

20 Ki te takoto hoki he tangata ki te wahine a tona matua keke, kua hurahia e ia kia takoto tahanga tona matua keke: ka waha e raua to raua hara: ka mate urikore raua.

If a man lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered the nakedness of his uncle. They will bear their sin; they shall die childless.

21 Ki te tango hoki te tangata i te wahine a tona tuakana, teina ranei, he mea poke tena: kua hurahia e ia tona tuakana, teina ranei, kia takoto tahanga; e kore raua e whai tamariki.

If a man marries his brother’s wife, it is an act of impurity. He has uncovered the nakedness of his brother; they shall be childless.

22 Engari kia mau ki aku tikanga katoa me aku whakaritenga katoa, me mahi ano hoki: kei whakaruakina koutou e te whenua ka kawea nei koutou e ahau ki reira noho ai.

You are therefore to keep all My statutes and ordinances, so that the land where I am bringing you to live will not vomit you out.

23 Kaua ano e haere i runga i nga ritenga o te iwi ka peia nei e ahau i to koutou aroaro: na ratou hoki enei mahi katoa, koia i whakarihariha ai ahau ki a ratou,

You must not follow the statutes of the nations I am driving out before you. Because they did all these things, I abhorred them.

24 I mea ai hoki ki a koutou, Ka riro to ratou whenua i a koutou, ka hoatu hoki e ahau ki a koutou hei kainga pumau, he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua, i wehe mai nei i a koutou i roto i nga iwi.

But I have told you that you will inherit their land, since I will give it to you as an inheritance—a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the LORD your God, who has set you apart from the peoples.

25 Mo reira me wehe ke e koutou nga kararehe pokekore me nga mea poke, nga manu hoki, nga mea poke me nga mea pokekore? kei ai hei take whakarihariha mo o koutou wairua tetahi kararehe, manu ranei, tetahi mea ranei e ngahue ana i te whenua, o nga m ea i wehea atu e ahau i a koutou hei mea poke.

You are therefore to distinguish between clean and unclean animals and birds. Do not become contaminated by any animal or bird, or by anything that crawls on the ground; I have set these apart as unclean for you.

26 A ka tapu koutou ki ahau: no te mea te tapu ahau, a Ihowa, a kua wehea mai koutou e ahau i roto i nga iwi, kia waiho maku.

You are to be holy to Me because I, the LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be My own.

27 Me whakamate rawa ano hoki te tangata, te wahine ranei, he atua maori tona; me te mata maori hoki: me aki raua ki te kohatu: ko runga i a raua o raua toto.

A man or a woman who is a medium or spiritist must surely be put to death. They shall be stoned; their blood is upon them.’”
