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 taketh a wife, and marrieth her, it shall be if she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a letter of divorce, and give it into 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 she shall depart out of his house, and go away, and may become 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 letter of divorce, and give it into her hand, and send her out of his house; or if the latter husband die who took her as 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 first husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for it is an abomination before Jehovah; and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which Jehovah 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 newly taken a wife, he shall not go out with the army, neither shall any kind of business be imposed upon him; he shall be free for his house one year, and shall gladden his wife whom 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 hand-mill or the upper millstone in pledge; for it would be taking life in 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 who hath stolen one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and who hath treated him as a slave and sold him, that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst.

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 take great heed, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them shall ye take heed 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 Jehovah thy God did unto Miriam on the way, after that ye came 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 anything, thou shalt not go into his house to secure 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 outside, and the man to whom thou hast made a loan shall bring out the pledge to thee without.

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

And if the man be needy, thou shalt not lie down 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 return him the pledge at the going down of the sun, that he may sleep in his own upper garment and bless thee; and it shall be righteousness unto thee before Jehovah 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 a hired servant poor and needy of thy brethren, or of thy sojourners who 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.

on his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and his soul yearneth after it; lest he cry against thee to Jehovah, and it be a sin in 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 sons, neither shall the sons 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, of the fatherless; and thou shalt not take in pledge a widow's garment.

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.

And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and that Jehovah thy God redeemed thee from 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 reapest thy harvest in thy field, and forgettest a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not return to fetch it; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy 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 shakest 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 afterwards; 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.
