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

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

2 K orero 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 unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy.

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

Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.

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

Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the Lord your God.

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

And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the Lord, ye shall offer it at your own will.

6 M e 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 the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.

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

And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall 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.

Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the Lord: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

9 I na 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.

And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.

10 K aua 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.

And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the Lord your God.

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

Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.

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

And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.

13 K aua 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.

Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.

14 K aua 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.

Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the Lord.

15 K ei 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.

Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

16 K aua 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.

Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the Lord.

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

Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.

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

Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord.

19 K ia 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.

Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.

20 K i 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.

And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.

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.

And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering.

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.

And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the Lord for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.

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.

And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.

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

But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the Lord withal.

25 E ngari 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.

And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the Lord your God.

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

Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

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

Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.

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

Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord.

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

Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.

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

Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.

31 K aua 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.

Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.

32 M e 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.

Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the Lord.

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

And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.

34 K i 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.

But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

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

Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.

36 K ia 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.

Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.

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

Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the Lord.
