1 Y ou shall not sacrifice to Yahweh your God an ox, or a sheep, in which is a defect, or anything evil; for that is an abomination to Yahweh your God.

Kaua e patua ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua, tetahi kau, hipi ranei, he koha tona, tetahi atu he ranei: he mea whakarihariha hoki tena ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua.

2 I f there is found among you, within any of your gates which Yahweh your God gives you, a man or woman who does that which is evil in Yahweh your God’s sight, in transgressing his covenant,

Ki te mea ka kitea i roto i a koe, i roto i tetahi o ou tatau e homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe tetahi tangata, tetahi wahine ranei, i mahi i te kino ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tou Atua, i whakapaheke hoki i tanga kawenata,

3 a nd has gone and served other gods, and worshiped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the stars of the sky, which I have not commanded;

I haere hoki, i mahi ki nga atua ke, i koropiko ki a ratou, ki te ra ranei, ki te marama ranei, ki tetahi ranei o nga mano o te rangi kihai nei i whakaritea atu e ahau;

4 a nd you are told, and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire diligently. Behold, if it is true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in Israel,

A ka korerotia ki a koe, a ka rongo koe, na me ata ui marie e koe, na, mehemea he tika, he pono te korero, kei te meatia taua mea whakarihariha i roto i a Iharaira:

5 t hen you shall bring out that man or that woman, who has done this evil thing, to your gates, even that same man or woman; and you shall stone them to death with stones.

Me whakaputa e koe taua tangata, taua wahine ranei, i mahi nei i taua mea kino, ki ou tatau, taua tangata, taua wahine ranei; ka aki ai i a raua ki te kohatu, a mate noa.

6 A t the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, he who is to die shall be put to death. At the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.

Ma te kupu a nga kaiwhakaatu tokorua, a nga kaiwhakaatu tokotoru ranei, e mate ai te tangata e tika ana kia whakamatea; e kore ia e mate i te kupu a te kaiwhakaatu kotahi.

7 T he hand of the witnesses shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So you shall remove the evil from among you.

Ko nga ringa o nga kaiwhakaatu te pa wawe ki a ia hei whakamate i a ia, a muri iho ko nga ringa o te iwi katoa. Penei ka whakakorea atu e koe te kino i roto i a koe.

8 I f there arises a matter too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within your gates; then you shall arise, and go up to the place which Yahweh your God chooses.

Ki te ara ake tetahi take pakeke rawa i a koe te whakawa, he toto ki te toto, he whakawa ki te whakawa, he patu ki te patu, he take tautohetohe i roto i ou tatau: na me whakatika koe, me haere ki runga ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, tou Atua;

9 Y ou shall come to the priests who are Levites, and to the judge who shall be in those days. You shall inquire, and they shall give you the verdict.

A ka tae koe ki nga tohunga, ki nga Riwaiti, ki te kaiwhakawa hoki e whakarite ana i aua ra: a ka ui koe; a ma ratou e whakapuaki ki a koe te tikanga mo te whakarite:

10 Y ou shall do according to the decisions of the verdict which they shall give you from that place which Yahweh chooses. You shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach you:

Na me mahi e koe ta ratou e whakapuaki ai ki a koe i taua wahi i whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa; kia tupato hoki kia rite te meatanga ki nga mea katoa e kiia e ratou ki a koe:

11 a ccording to the decisions of the law which they shall teach you, and according to the judgment which they shall tell you, you shall do. You shall not turn aside from the sentence which they shall show you, to the right hand, nor to the left.

Kia rite tau meatanga ki te tikanga o te ture e kiia e ratou ki a koe, ki te ritenga hoki e korerotia e ratou ki a koe: kaua e peka ke atu, ki matau ranei, ki maui ranei, i te kupu e whakapuakina e ratou ki a koe.

12 T he man who does presumptuously, in not listening to the priest who stands to minister there before Yahweh your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die. You shall put away the evil from Israel.

A, ki te poka wahi tetahi tangata, kahore e whakarongo ki te tohunga e tu ana, e minita ana i reira i te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ki te kaiwhakawa ranei, me whakamate taua tangata; a ka whakakorea atu i koe te kino i roto i a Iharaira.

13 A ll the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.

A ka rongo katoa te iwi, ka wehi, e kore e poka wahi noa i muri iho.

14 W hen you have come to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, and possess it, and dwell in it, and say, “I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me”;

Ka tae koe ki te whenua e homai ana e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe, a ka riro mai a reira i a koe, a ka noho koe ki reira, ka mea hoki, Ka meinga e ahau tetahi kingi moku, ka pera me nga iwi katoa i tetahi taha oku, i tetahi taha;

15 y ou shall surely set him king over yourselves, whom Yahweh your God chooses. You shall set as king over you one from among your brothers. You may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.

Ko ta Ihowa, ko ta tou Atua e whiriwhiri ai, ko ia anake tau e mea ai hei kingi mou: ko tetahi o ou tuakana tau e mea ai hei kingi mou: e kore e ahei kia meatia e koe hei kingi mou te tangata iwi ke, ehara nei i te tuakana nou.

16 O nly he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; because Yahweh has said to you, “You shall not go back that way again.”

Otiia kaua ia e whakamaha i te hoiho mona, kaua ano hoki e whakahokia te iwi ki Ihipa, hei whakamaha i nga hoiho: kua mea nei hoki a Ihowa ki a koutou, E kore koutou e hoki na taua huarahi a mua ake nei.

17 H e shall not multiply wives to himself, that his heart not turn away. He shall not greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

Kaua ano ia e whakamaha wahine mana, kei riro ke tona ngakau: kaua ano hoki e whakanuia rawatia e ia te hiriwa me te koura mana.

18 I t shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write himself a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the priests the Levites.

A, ka noho ia ki te torona o tona rangatiratanga, na me tuhituhi e ia ki tetahi pukapua nga kupu o tenei ture, no ena i te aroaro o nga tohunga o nga Riwaiti:

19 I t shall be with him, and he shall read from it all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear Yahweh his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;

A hei a ia takoto ai, a me korero ia ki reira i nga ra katoa e ora ai ia: kia ako ai ia ki te wehi ki a Ihowa, ki tona Atua, ki te pupuri i nga kupu katoa o tenei ture, i enei tikanga, hei mahi mana:

20 t hat his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he not turn aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left; to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the middle of Israel.

Kei whakakake tona ngakau ki ona teina, kei peka ke atu hoki ia i te whakahau ki matau, ki maui: kia roa ai ona ra i tona kingitanga, ona me o ana tama, i waenganui i a Iharaira.
