1 K i te tango te tangata i te wahine, a ka marena i a ia, na, ki te kore ia e manakohia e ia, no te mea kua kitea e ia tetahi he ona, me tuhituhi e ia he pukapuka whakarere ki a ia, ka hoatu ki tona ringa, a ka tono atu i a ia ki waho o tona whare.

When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.

2 A , ka puta ia i tona whare, ka ahei ia te haere a ka riro hei wahine ma tetahi atu.

And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife.

3 A , ki te kino to muri tahu ki a ia, a ka tuhituhia e ia he pukapuka whakarere ki a ia, ka hoatu hoki ki tona ringa, ka tono atu ano hoki i a ia i roto i tona whare; ki te mate ranei to muri tahu i tango nei i a ia hei wahine mana;

And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;

4 E kore e ahei i te tahu tuatahi, nana nei ia i tono atu, te tango ano i a ia hei wahine mana i muri i tona whakapokenga; he mea whakarihariha hoki tena ki te aroaro o Ihowa; kaua ano hoki e mea kia whai hara te whenua i hoatu nei e Ihowa, e tou A tua, ki a koe hei kainga tupu.

her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the Lord: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

5 K i te tango te tangata i te wahine hou, kaua ia e haere ki te whawhai, kaua ano hoki tetahi mahi e whakaritea mana: me noho noa ia i tona whare kia kotahi tau, whakahari ai i te ngakau o tana wahine i tango ai.

When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.

6 K aua e tangohia e te tangata to raro kohatu, to runga kohatu ranei o te mira, hei taunaha: he tango hoki tena i te oranga o te tangata hei taunaha.

No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh a man’s life to pledge.

7 K i te mau tetahi tangata e tahae ana i tetahi o ona teina o nga tama a Iharaira, hei pononga mana, hei hoko ranei mana, me mate taua tahae: a ka whakakorea atu e koe te kino i roto i a koe.

If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.

8 K ia mahara, i nga panga mai o te repera, kia whakaritea marietia, kia mahia nga mea katoa e ako ai nga tohunga, nga Riwaiti, ki a koutou: kia mahara kia mahia taku i whakahau ai ki a ratou.

Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.

9 M aharatia ta Ihowa, ta tou Atua, i mea ai ki a Miriama i te ara, i to koutou haerenga mai i Ihipa.

Remember what the Lord thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.

10 K i te whakatarewa atu koe i tetahi mea ki tou hoa, kaua e haere ki roto ki tona whare ki te tiki atu i tana taunaha.

When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.

11 M e tu atu koe i waho, a ma te tangata i a ia nei tau mea, e kawe mai te taunaha ki a koe ki waho.

Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.

12 O tiia mehemea he rawakore taua tangata, kei moe koe me te takoto tahi mai tana taunaha:

And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:

13 M e tino whakahoki atu e koe te taunaha ki a ia ina toene te ra, kia moe ai ia i roto i tona kakahu, a ka manaaki i a koe: a ka waiho hei tika mou ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua.

in any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the Lord thy God.

14 K ei tukinotia e koe te kaimahi, he rawakore, he mate, ahakoa no ou tuakana, no ou tangata iwi ke ranei i tou whenua, i roto i ou kuwaha:

Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates:

15 M e hoatu e koe tona utu i tona ra, kei to te ra me te takoto ano taua mea; he rawakore hoki ia, a e okaka ana tona ngakau ki taua nea: kei karanga ia ki a Ihowa mo tou kino, a ka waiho hei hara mou.

at his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the Lord, and it be sin unto thee.

16 E kore e whakamatea nga matua mo te he o nga tamariki, e kore ano hoki e whakamatea nga tamariki mo te he o nga matua: mo tona ake hara ano e whakamatea ai tena tangata, tena.

The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

17 K ei whakapeaua ketia e koe te whakawa mo te manene, mo te pani ranei; kaua ano hoki e tangohia te kakahu o te pouaru hei taunaha:

Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow’s raiment to pledge:

18 E ngari kia mahara he pononga koe i Ihipa, a na Ihowa, na tou Atua, koe i whakaora mai i reira: koia ahau i whakahau ai i a koe ki te mea i tenei mea.

but thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the Lord thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.

19 K a kotia e koe au hua i tau mara, a ka wareware tetahi paihere i te mara, kei hoki koe ki te tiki: waiho ma te manene, ma te pani, ma te pouaru: kia manaakitia ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, i nga meatanga katoa a ou ringa.

When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.

20 E taia e koe tau oriwa, kaua e hoki ano ki nga manga ketu ai: waiho ma te manene, ma te pani, ma te pouaru.

When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

21 E whakiia e koe nga karepe o tau mara waina, kaua e hamua i muri i a koe: waiho ma te manene, ma te pani, ma te pouaru.

When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

22 M e mahara ano hoki koe he pononga koe i te whenua o Ihipa; koia ahau i whakahau ai i a koe kia mea i tenei mea.

And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
