1 K i 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 sheep and kills or sells it, he shall pay five oxen for an ox, or four sheep for a sheep.

2 K i te mau te tahae e poka ara ana, a ka patua, ka mate, kahore he toto e heke mona.

If a thief is found breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no blood shed for him.

3 K i 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.

But if the sun has risen, blood must be shed for slaying him. The thief must make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

4 K i 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 beast which he stole is found in his possession alive, whether it is ox or ass or sheep, he shall restore double.

5 K i 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 grazed over or lets his beast loose and it feeds in another man’s field, he shall make restitution of the best of his own field or his own vineyard.

6 K i 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 so that the stacked grain or standing grain or the field be consumed, he who kindled the fire shall make full restitution.

7 K i 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 goods to keep and it is stolen out of the neighbor’s house, then, if the thief is found, he shall pay double.

8 K i 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.

But if the thief is not found, the house owner shall appear before God to find whether he stole 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 unlawful deed, whether it concerns ox, donkey, sheep, clothing, or any lost thing at all, which another identifies as his, the cause of both parties shall come before God. Whomever shall condemn shall pay his neighbor double.

10 K i 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 or an ox or a sheep or any beast to keep and it dies or is hurt or driven away, no man seeing it,

11 K a 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.

Then an oath before the Lord shall be required between the two that the man has not taken his neighbor’s property; and the owner of it shall accept his word and not require him to make good the loss.

12 O tiia ki te mea kua tahaetia atu i a ia, me hoatu he utu ki tona rangatira.

But if it is stolen when in his care, he shall make restitution to its owner.

13 K i te mea kua haehaea, me kawe mai e ia hei whakaatu, a e kore e utua e ia te mea i haea.

If it be torn in pieces, let him bring for witness; he shall not make good what was torn.

14 K i 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.

And if a man borrows anything of his neighbor and it gets hurt or dies without its owner being with it, the borrower shall make full restitution.

15 K ei reira te rangatira, e kore e utua: ki te mea e utua ana tona tukunga, i haere mai hoki mo tona utu.

But if the owner is with it, the borrower shall not make it good. If it is a hired thing, the damage is included in its hire.

16 K i 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 seduces a virgin not betrothed and lies with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to become his wife.

17 K i 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 equivalent to the dowry of virgins.

18 K ei tukua e koe te wahine makutu kia ora.

You shall not allow a woman to live who practices sorcery.

19 K o te tangata i takotoria e ia he kararehe, me whakamate rawa.

Whoever lies carnally with a beast shall surely be put to death.

20 M e whakangaro rawa te tangata e patu whakahere ana ma tetahi atua ke; engari ma Ihowa anake.

He who sacrifices to any god but the Lord only shall be utterly destroyed.

21 K aua 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 a stranger or oppress him; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

22 K aua e whakatupuria kinotia te pouaru, te pani ranei.

You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.

23 K i 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 afflict them in any way 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 shall burn; I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall be widows and your children fatherless.

25 K i 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, neither shall you require interest from him.

26 K i 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 ever take your neighbor’s garment in pledge, you shall give it back to him before the sun goes down;

27 K o 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, his clothing for his body. In what shall he sleep? When he cries to Me, I will hear, for I am gracious and merciful.

28 K aua e kohukohu ki te Atua, kaua ano hoki e kanga ki te ariki o tou iwi.

You shall not revile God or esteem lightly or curse a ruler of your people.

29 K ei 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 bring to Me from the fullness and the outflow; give Me the firstborn of your sons.

30 K ia 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.

Likewise shall you do with your oxen and your sheep. Seven days the firstborn shall be with its mother; on the eighth day you shall give it to Me.

31 H ei tangata tapu hoki koutou maku: kaua ano e kai i te kikokiko i haea ki te parae; me maka ma te kuri.

And you shall be holy men to Me; therefore you shall not eat any flesh that is torn by beasts in the field; you shall throw it to the dogs.
