Deuteronomy 23

1 None that is hurt by bursting, or that hath his priuie member cut off, shall enter into the Congregation of the Lord.

“Ko ia kuo lavea ʻi hono tenga, pe kuo tutuʻu hono potu fufū, ke ʻoua naʻa hoko ia ki he fakataha ʻoe kakai ʻa Sihova.

2 A bastard shall not enter into the Congregation of the Lord: euen to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the Congregation of the Lord.

‌ʻOua naʻa hoko ʻae foʻi angahala ki he fakataha ʻoe kakai ʻa Sihova; ʻio ʻo aʻu atu ki hono hongofulu ʻo ʻene toʻutangata ʻe ʻikai hoko ia ki he fakataha ʻoe kakai ʻa Sihova.

3 The Ammonites and the Moabites shall not enter into the Congregation of the Lord: euen to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the Congregation of the Lord for euer,

Ke ʻoua naʻa hoko ʻae kau ʻAmoni, pe ko e kau Moape ki he fakataha ʻoe kakai ʻa Sihova; ʻio, ʻo aʻu atu ki hono hongofulu ʻo ʻenau toʻutangata ʻe ʻikai tenau hoko ki he fakataha ʻoe kakai ʻa Sihova ʻo taʻengata:

4 Because they met you not with bread and water in the way, when yee came out of Egypt, and because they hyred against thee Balaam the sonne of Beor, of Pethor in Aram-naharaim, to curse thee.

Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai tenau fakafetaulaki kiate kimoutolu ʻi he hala ʻaki ʻae mā mo e vai, ʻi hoʻomou haʻu kituaʻā mei ʻIsipite; pea koeʻuhi naʻa nau totongi kia Pelami ko e foha ʻo Peoli mei Pitoli ʻi Mesopōtemia, ke ne fakamalaʻiaʻi koe:

5 Neuerthelesse, the Lord thy God would not hearken vnto Balaam, but the Lord thy God turned the curse to a blessing vnto thee, because the Lord thy God loued thee.

Ka ko e moʻoni naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kia Pelami; ka naʻe liliu ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae fakamalaʻia ko e meʻa monūʻia ia kiate koe, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻofa kiate koe ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

6 Thou shalt not seeke their peace nor their prosperitie all thy dayes for euer.

‌ʻOua naʻa ke kumi ki heʻenau melino pe ko ʻenau lelei ʻi ho ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo taʻengata.

7 Thou shalt not abhorre an Edomite: for he is thy brother, neither shalt thou abhorre an Egyptian, because thou wast a strager in his land.

“Ka ʻe ʻikai te ke fehiʻa ki he tangata ʻItomi; he ko ho tokoua ia: ʻoua naʻa ke fehiʻa ki ke tangata ʻIsipite; he naʻa ke nofo ko e muli ʻi hono fonua.

8 The children that are begotten of them in their thirde generation, shall enter into the Congregation of the Lord.

Ko e ngaahi fānau ʻoku tupu ʻiate kinautolu tenau hoko ki he fakataha ʻoe kakai ʻa Sihova ʻi hono tolu ʻo honau toʻutangata.

9 When thou goest out with the host against thine enemies, keepe thee then from all wickednesse.

“ʻOka ʻalu atu ʻa hoʻo kautau ki ho ngaahi fili, te ke taʻofi koe mei he meʻa angahala kotoa pē.

10 If there be among you any that is vncleane by that which commeth to him by night, he shall goe out of the hoste, and shall not enter into the hoste,

“Kapau ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ha tangata, ʻoku ʻikai maʻa ko e meʻa ʻi he meʻa taʻemaʻa kuo hoko fakafokifā kiate ia ʻi he poʻuli, ʻe ʻalu ia kituaʻā ʻi he ʻapitanga, ke ʻoua naʻa haʻu ia ki loto ʻi he ʻapitanga:

11 But at euen he shall wash him selfe with water, and when the sunne is downe, he shall enter into the hoste.

Pea ka efiafi, pea ʻe pehē, te ne kaukau ia ʻaki ʻae vai: pea ka tō ʻae laʻā, ʻe toe haʻu ia ki he ʻapitanga.

12 Thou shalt haue a place also without the hoste whither thou shalt resort,

“Te ke vahe ha potu kiate koe ʻi tuaʻā ʻi ho ʻapitanga, ʻaia ke ke ʻalu ki ai ʻi he mamaʻo:

13 And thou shalt haue a paddle among thy weapons, and when thou wouldest sit downe without, thou shalt shalt digge therewith, and returning thou shalt couer thine excrements.

Pea te ke ʻai ha huo ʻi ho tokotoko, pea ʻe pehē, ʻoka ke ka ʻalu kituaʻā, ke ke keli ʻaki ia, pea ke tafoki koe ʻo tanu ʻaia ʻoku haʻu meiate koe:

14 For the Lord thy God walketh in the mids of thy campe to deliuer thee, and to giue thee thine enemies before thee: therefore thine hoste shalbe holy, that he see no filthie thing in thee and turne away from thee.

He ʻoku hāʻele ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ho ʻapitanga, ke fakahaofi koe, pea ke tukuange ho ngaahi fili ʻi ho ʻao: ko ia ke māʻoniʻoni ai ho ʻapitanga: ke ʻoua naʻa ne ʻafioʻi ha meʻa taʻemaʻa ʻe taha ʻiate koe, ke ne tafoki ai meiate koe.

15 Thou shalt not deliuer the seruant vnto his master, which is escaped from his master vnto thee.

“ʻOua naʻa ke toe ʻatu ki hono ʻeiki ʻae tamaioʻeiki kuo hao kiate koe mei hono ʻeiki:

16 He shall dwell with thee, euen among you, in what place he shall chuse, in one of thy cities where it liketh him best: thou shalt not vexe him.

‌ʻE nofo ia mo koe, ʻio, fakataha mo kimoutolu, ʻi he potu ko ia ʻe fili ʻe ia ʻi he kolo ʻe taha, ʻaia ʻe manako ki ai ia: ʻoua naʻa ke fakamālohi kiate ia.

17 There shalbe no whore of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a whore keeper of the sonnes of Israel.

‌ʻOua naʻa ai ha fefine feʻauaki ʻi he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ʻoua naʻa ai ha tangata angahala fakalielia ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻIsileli.

18 Thou shalt neyther bring the hyre of a whore, nor the price of a dogge into the house of the Lord thy God for any vow: for euen both these are abomination vnto the Lord thy God.

‌ʻOua naʻa ke ʻomi ʻae totongi ʻoe feʻauaki pe ko e totongi ʻoe kulī ki he fale ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi ha fuakava ʻe taha: he ko e meʻa kovi fakatouʻosi pe ia kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

19 Thou shalt not giue to vsurie to thy brother: as vsurie of money, vsurie of meate, vsurie of any thing that is put to vsurie.

“ʻOua naʻa ke nō atu ke maʻu totongi lahi mei ho tokoua; ʻae totongi ʻoe paʻanga, pe ko e totongi meʻakai, pe ko e totongi ʻo ha meʻa ʻe taha kuo nō atu ke maʻu totongi:

20 Vnto a stranger thou mayest lend vpon vsurie, but thou shalt not lend vpon vsurie vnto thy brother, that the Lord thy God may blesse thee in all that thou settest thine hand to, in the land whither thou goest to possesse it.

‌ʻE ngofua ʻa hoʻo nō atu ki he muli ke maʻu totongi; kaeʻoua naʻa ke nō atu ki ho tokoua ke maʻu totongi: koeʻuhi ke tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke ʻai ho nima ki ai, ʻi he fonua ko ia ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai ke ke maʻu ia.

21 When thou shalt vowe a vowe vnto the Lord thy God, thou shalt not be slacke to paye it: for the Lord thy God will surely require it of thee, and so it should be sinne vnto thee.

“ʻOka ke ka fuakava ʻaki ʻae fuakava kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke fakatuai ʻa hono fai: he ko e moʻoni ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua te ne ʻeke ia kiate koe; pea ʻe hoko ia ko e angahala kiate koe.

22 But when thou absteinest from vowing, it shalbe no sinne vnto thee.

Pea kapau ʻoku ke taʻofi koe ʻo ʻikai fuakava, ʻe ʻikai angahala ia kiate koe.

23 That which is gone out of thy lippes, thou shalt keepe and performe, as thou hast vowed it willingly vnto the Lord thy God: for thou hast spoken it with thy mouth.

“Ka ko ia kuo ʻalu atu ʻi ho loungutu ke ke fakapapau mo fai: ko e meʻa ʻatu loto lelei pe, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fuakava kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia kuo ke fakaʻilo ʻaki ho ngutu.

24 When thou commest vnto thy neighbours vineyard, then thou mayest eate grapes at thy pleasure, as much as thou wilt: but thou shalt put none in thy vessell.

“ʻOka ke ka hoko ki he ngoue vaine ʻa ho kaungāʻapi, ʻe ngofua ʻa hoʻo kai ʻae kālepi ko hoʻo faʻiteliha ke ke mākona ai; kaeʻoua naʻa ke faʻo ha niʻihi ʻi hoʻo ipu.

25 When thou commest into thy neighbours corne thou mayest plucke the eares with thine hand, but thou shalt not moue a sickle to thy neighbours corne.

‌ʻOka ke ka hoko ki he ngoue uite ʻa ho kaungāʻapi, ʻe ngofua ʻa hoʻo toli hono ngaahi fua ʻaki ho nima: kaeʻoua naʻa ke momoʻi ʻai ʻae helepiko ki he uite tuʻu ʻa ho kaungāʻapi.
