Deuteronomy 24

1 When a man taketh a wife, and marrieth her, if so be shee finde no fauour in his eyes, because hee hath espyed some filthinesse in her, then let him write her a bill of diuorcement, and put it in her hand, and send her out of his house.

“ʻOka fili mai ʻe ha tangata hono uaifi, pea na fakamaʻu mo ia, pea hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoku ʻikai siʻi te ne maʻu ha fiemālie ʻiate ia, koeʻuhi kuo ne ʻilo ha meʻa taʻemaʻa ʻiate ia: tuku ai ke ne tohi haʻane tohi fakamāvae, pea ke ʻatu ia ki hono nima, pea fekau ia ke ʻalu mei hono fale.

2 And when she is departed out of his house, and gone her way, and marrie with an other man,

Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu mei hono fale, ʻe ngofua ʻa ʻene ʻalu ia ʻo hoko ko e uaifi ʻoe tangata kehe.

3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a letter of diuorcement, and put it in her hand, and send her out of his house, or if the latter man die which tooke her to wife:

Pea kapau ʻe fehiʻa kiate ia hono husepāniti ko ia, pea ne tohi maʻana ʻae tohi fakamāvae, ʻo ʻatu ia ki hono nima, pea fekau ia ke ʻalu mei hono fale; pea kapau ʻe mate ʻae husepāniti ki mui naʻa ne maʻu ia ko hono uaifi,

4 Then her first husband, which sent her away, may not take her againe to be his wife, after that she is defiled: for that is abomination in the sight of the Lord, and thou shalt not cause the land to sinne, which the Lord thy God doeth giue thee to inherite.

‌ʻE ʻikai ngofua ki hono ʻuluaki husepāniti, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau ia ke ʻalu, ke ne toe ʻomi ia ko hono uaifi, hili hono fakahalaʻi; he ko e meʻa kovi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea ʻoua naʻa ke fakaangahalaʻi ʻae fonua, ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ko ho tofiʻa.

5 When a man taketh a new wife, he shall not goe a warfare, neither shalbe charged with any businesse, but shalbe free at home one yeere, and reioyce with his wife which he hath taken.

“ʻOka maʻu ʻe he tangata ʻae uaifi foʻou, ʻoua naʻa ʻalu ia ki he tau, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ha ngāue kiate ia: kae tuku ke ʻataʻatā ia ʻi ʻapi ʻi he taʻu ʻe taha, pea te ne fakafiemālie ki he uaifi ʻaia kuo ne maʻu.

6 No man shall take the nether nor the vpper milstone to pledge: for this gage is his liuing.

“Ke ʻoua naʻa ʻave ʻe ha tangata ʻe taha ʻae maka toka lalo pe ko e maka ʻi ʻolunga ʻoe meʻa momosi ko e tuku totongi: he ʻoku ne ʻave ʻae moʻuiʻanga ko e tuku totongi.

7 If any man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh marchandise of him, or selleth him, that thiefe shall die: so shalt thou put euil away from among you.

“Kapau ʻe maʻu ha tangata ʻoku ne kaihaʻasi ha niʻihi ʻi hono kāinga ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo fakamālohiʻi ia, pe fakatau ia; pea ʻe mate ai ʻae kaihaʻa ko ia; pea ʻe tukuange ʻae kovi meiate kimoutolu.

8 Take heede of the plague of leprosie, that thou obserue diligently, and doe according to all that the Priestes of the Leuites shall teach you: take heede ye doe as I commanded them.

“Ke ke vakai ʻi he mahaki ko e kilia ke ke tokanga lahi, ke fai ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ko e kau Livai: ʻo hangē ko ia naʻaku fekau kiate kimoutolu, ʻe pehē pe hoʻomou tokanga ʻo fai.

9 Remember what the Lord thy God did vnto Miriam by the way after that ye were come out of Egypt.

Manatu ki he meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Sihova kia Miliame ʻi he hala, hili hoʻomou hiki mai mei ʻIsipite.

10 Whe thou shalt aske again of thy neighbour any thing lent, thou shalt not goe into his house to fet his pledge.

“ʻOka ke ka nō atu ha meʻa ki ho tokoua, ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu ki hono fale ke toʻo mai hono tuku totongi.

11 But thou shalt stand without, and the man that borowed it of thee, shall bring the pledge out of the doores vnto thee.

Ka ke tuʻu ʻituʻa, pea ko e tangata ko ia ʻoku ke nō atu hoʻo meʻa ki ai ke ne ʻomi kiate koe kituʻa ʻae tuku totongi.

12 Furthermore if it be a poore body, thou shalt not sleepe with his pledge,

Pea kapau ʻoku masiva ʻae tangata, ʻoua naʻa ke mohe mo ʻene meʻa tuku totongi.

13 But shalt restore him the pledge when the sunne goeth downe, that he may sleepe in his raiment, and blesse thee: and it shalbe righteousnesse vnto thee before the Lord thy God.

Ke ke toe ʻatu kiate ia ʻae tuku totongi ʻi he ʻalu hifo ʻae laʻā, koeʻuhi ke mohe ia ʻi hono kofu ʻoʻona mo ne tāpuakiʻi koe: pea ko e meʻa angatonu ia kiate koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

14 Thou shalt not oppresse an hyred seruant that is needie and poore, neyther of thy brethren, nor of the stranger that is in thy land within thy gates.

“ʻOua naʻa ke fakamamahiʻi ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻoku ngāue ki he totongi ʻaia ʻoku masiva mo tuʻutāmaki, pe ko ha taha ia ʻi ho ngaahi kāinga, pe ʻi he kau muli ʻoku nofo ʻi hoʻo ngaahi kolo:

15 Thou shalt giue him his hire for his day, neither shall the sunne goe downe vpon it: for he is poore, and therewith susteineth his life: lest he crye against thee vnto the Lord, and it be sinne vnto thee.

‌ʻI he hoko hono ʻaho ke ke ʻatu kiate ia hono totongi, pea ʻoua naʻa tō ʻae laʻā ki ai; he ʻoku masiva ia, pea ʻoku tokanga hono loto ki ai: telia naʻa tangi ia kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko koe, pea hoko ia ko e angahala kiate koe.

16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children put to death for the fathers, but euery man shalbe put to death for his owne sinne.

‌ʻE ʻikai tāmateʻi ʻae ngaahi tamai ko e fetongi ʻo ʻenau fānau, pea ʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ʻae fānau koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi tamai: ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae tangata taki taha ʻi heʻene angahala ʻaʻana.

17 Thou shalt not peruert the right of the stranger, nor of the fatherlesse, nor take a widowes rayment to pledge.

“ʻOua naʻa ke fakahalaiaʻi ʻae fakamaau ʻae muli, pe ko e tamai mate; pe toʻo ʻae kofu ʻoe uitou ko e tuku totongi.

18 But remember that thou wast a seruant in Egypt, and howe the Lord thy God deliuered thee thence. Therefore I commaund thee to doe this thing.

Ka ke manatu naʻa ke pōpula koe ʻi ʻIsipite, pea naʻe huhuʻi koe mei ai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ko ia ʻoku ou fekau ai ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.

19 When thou cuttest downe thine haruest in thy fielde, and hast forgotten a sheafe in the fielde, thou shalt not goe againe to fet it, but it shalbe for the stranger, for the fatherles, and for the widowe: that the Lord thy God may blesse thee in all the workes of thine hands.

“ʻOka ke ka tuʻusi hifo ho ututaʻu ʻoku ʻi he ngoue, pea kuo ngalo ʻae ū uite ʻe taha ʻi he ngoue, ʻoua naʻa ke toe ʻalu ki he ngoue ke ʻomi ia: tuku ia ki he muli, mo e tamai mate, mo e uitou: koeʻuhi ke tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he ngāue kotoa pē ʻa ho nima.

20 When thou beatest thine oliue tree, thou shalt not goe ouer the boughes againe, but it shalbe for the stranger, for the fatherlesse, and for the widowe.

‌ʻOka ke ka haha hoʻo ʻolive, ʻoua naʻa ke toe ala ki hono ngaahi pasanga: kae tuku ia ki he muli, mo e tamai mate, pea ki he uitou.

21 When thou gatherest thy vineyard, thou shalt not gather the grapes cleane after thee, but they shalbe for the stranger, for the fatherlesse, and for the widowe.

‌ʻOka ke ka toli ʻae ngaahi kālepi ʻo hoʻo ngoue vaine, ʻoua naʻa ke tānaki hono toenga: tuku ia ki he muli, mo e tamai mate, pea ki he fefine paea.

22 And remember that thou wast a seruant in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to doe this thing.

Te ke manatu naʻa ke pōpula koe ʻi ʻIsipite: ko ia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe ke fai ʻae meʻa ni.
