Rewitikuha 20
1 Korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
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.
Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: If any man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers, that dwell in Israel, give of his seed to the idol Moloch, dying let him die: the people of the land shall 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 him: and I will cut him off from the midst of his people, because he hath given of his seed to Moloch, and hath 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 neglecting, and as it were little regarding my commandment, let alone the man that hath given of his seed to Moloch, and will not kill him:
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.
I will set my face against that man, and his kindred, and will cut off both him and all that consented with him, to commit fornication with Moloch, out of the midst of their people.
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.
The soul that shall go aside after magicians, and soothsayers, and shall commit fornication with them, I will set my face against that soul, and destroy it out of the midst of its people.
7 Engari whakatapua koutou, kia tapu ano hoki: ko Ihowa hoki ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
Sanctify yourselves, and be ye 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.
Keep my precepts, and do them. I am the Lord that sanctify 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.
He that curseth his father, or mother, dying let him die: he hath cursed his father, and mother, let his blood 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 any man commit adultery with the wife of another, and defile his neighbour’s wife, let them be put to death, both the adulterer and the adulteress.
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 lie with his stepmother, and discover the nakedness of his father, let them both be put to death: their blood be 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 any man lie with his daughter in law, let both die, because they have done a heinous crime: their blood be 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 any one lie with a man as with a woman, both have committed an abomination, let them be put to death: their blood be 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 any man after marrying the daughter, marry her mother, he hath done a heinous crime: he shall be burnt alive with them: neither shall so great an abomination remain in the midst of you.
15 Ki te takoto hoki te tangata ki te kararehe, me whakamate rawa ia: me whakamate ano hoki te kararehe.
He that shall copulate with any beast or cattle, dying let him die, the beast also ye shall kill.
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.
The woman that shall lie under any beast, shall be killed together with the same: their blood be 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 any man take his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother, and see her nakedness, and she behold her brother’s shame: they have committed a crime: they shall be slain, in the sight of their people, because they have discovered one another’s nakedness, and they shall bear their 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 any man lie with a woman in her flowers, and uncover her nakedness, and she open the fountain of her blood, both shall be destroyed out of the midst of 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.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy aunt by thy mother, and of thy aunt by thy father: he that doth this, hath uncovered the shame of his own flesh, 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 any mall lie with the wife of his uncle by the father, or of his uncle by the mother, and uncover the shame of his near akin, both shall bear their sin: they shall die without children.
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.
He that marrieth his brother’s wife, doth an unlawful thing, he hath uncovered his brother’s nakedness: they shall be without children.
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.
Keep my laws and my judgments, and do them: lest the land into which you are to enter to dwell therein, vomit you also 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,
Walk not after the laws of the nations, which I will cast out before you. For they have done all these things, and therefore 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 to you I say: Possess their land which I will give you for an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who have separated you from other people.
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.
Therefore do you also separate the clean beast from the unclean, and the clean fowl from the unclean: defile not your souls with beasts, or birds, or any things that move on the earth, and which I have shewn you to be unclean.
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 shall be holy unto me, because I the Lord am holy, and I have separated you from other people, that you should be mine.
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 woman, in whom there is a pythonical or divining spirit, dying let them die: they shall stone them: their blood be upon them.
