Deuteronomy 22

1 “If you see some Israeli’s ox or sheep that has strayed away, do not act as though you did not see it. Take it back [to its owner].

E kite koe i te kau a tou teina, i tana hipi ranei, e atiutiu ke ana, kei ninihi atu koe i a raua: me ata whakahoki ano e koe ki tou teina.

2 But if the owner does not live near you, or if you do not know who the owner is, take the animal to your house. [It can stay with you] until the owner comes, searching for it. Then you must give the animal to him.

A, ki te kahore tou teina e tata mai ana ki a koe, ki te kahore ranei kore e mohio ki a ia, na me kawe mai ki tou whare, a ki a koe noho ai, a rapu noa tou teina i a ia; katahi koe ka whakahoki atu ai ki a ia.

3 You must do the same thing if you see a donkey, or a piece of clothing, or anything else that someone has lost. Do not refuse to do what you should do.

Me pena ano e koe ki tana kaihe; a me pena ano e koe ki tona kakahu; me pena ano hoki ki nga mea ngaro katoa a tou teina, ina ngaro i a ia, a e kitea e koe; e kore e ahei kia ninihi koe.

4 “And if you see a fellow Israeli’s donkey or cow that has fallen down on the road, do not act as though you did not see it. Help the owner to lift the animal up [so that it can stand on its feet again].

E kite koe i te kaihe a tou teina, i tana kau ranei, kua hinga i te ara, kei ninihi koe i a raua: me tino awhina koe i a ia ki te whakaara i a raua.

5 “Women must not wear men’s clothes, and men must not wear women’s clothes. Yahweh our God hates people who do things like that.

Kei kakahuria e te wahine tetahi mea o te tane, kei kakahuria hoki e te tane te kakahu o te wahine: he mea whakarihariha hoki ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, te hunga katoa e pena ana.

6 “If you happen to find a bird’s nest in a tree or on the ground, and the mother bird is sitting in the nest on its eggs or with the baby birds, do not take the mother bird [and kill it].

Ki te pono koe ki te ohanga manu i te ara, i runga i te rakau, i te whenua ranei, me nga pi ano, me nga hua ranei, me te katua e pehi ana i nga pi, i nga hua ranei, kei tangohia ngatahitia e koe te katua me nga pi:

7 You are permitted to take the baby birds, but you must allow the mother bird to fly away. Do this in order that things will go well for you and that you will live for a long time.

Me tuku tonu atu e koe te katua, ka tango ai i nga pi mau; kia whiwhi ai koe ki te pai, kia roa ai ou ra.

8 “If you build a new house, you must put a (railing/low wall) around the edge of the roof. If you do that, and if someone falls off the roof [and dies], (you will not be guilty of causing that person to die/his death [MTY] will not be your fault).

Ki te hanga koe he whare hou, me hanga ano he taiepa mo tou tuanui, kei whai toto i a koe tou whare, ina taka te tangata i runga.

9 “Do not plant any crop in the area where your grapevines are growing. If you do, you are not allowed to harvest the crops that you have planted or to harvest the grapes [to make wine from them].

Kaua e whakauruurua nga purapura e whakatokia e koe ki tau mara waina; kei poke te hua o te purapura e whakatokia e koe, me nga hua o te mara waina.

10 “Do not hitch together an ox and a donkey [for plowing your fields].

Kaua e huihuia te kau ki te kaihe hei parau mau.

11 “Do not wear clothing that is made by weaving together (wool and linen/two different kinds of thread).

Kei kakahuria e koe te mea kakano whakauru, ara te huruhuru hipi i whakaurua nei ki te rinena.

12 “[Twist threads together to] make tassels and sew/fasten them on the four bottom corners of your cloak.

Hanga etahi taniko mau mo nga tapa e wha o tou kakahu e kakahu ai koe.

13 “Suppose a man marries a young woman and has sex with her and later decides that he does not want her any more,

Ki te tango te tangata i te wahine, a ka haere ki roto, ki a ia, a ka kino ki a ia,

14 and he says false things about her, and claims that she was not a virgin when he married her.

A ka hahani ki a ia, ka whakakinokino i tona ingoa, a ka mea, I tango ahau i tenei wahine, a, i toku whakatatanga ki a ia, ka kite ahau ehara ia i te wahine:

15 If that happens, the young woman’s parents must take the sheet that was on the bed when that man and their daughter were married, which still has bloodstains on it, and show it to the elders of the city at the (gate of/central meeting place in) the city.

Katahi te papa raua ko te whaea o te kotiro ka tiki, ka kawe i nga tohu o te wahinetanga o te kotiro ki nga kaumatua o te pa, ki te kuwaha:

16 Then the father of the young woman must say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man to be his wife. But now he says that he doesn’t want her any more.

A ka korero te papa o te kotiro ki nga kaumatua, I hoatu e ahau taku tamahine nei hei wahine ma tenei tangata, a e kinongia ana e ia:

17 And he has falsely said that she was not a virgin when he married her. But look! Here is what proves that my daughter was a virgin! Look at the bloodstains on the sheet where they slept the night that they were married!’ And he will show the sheet to the elders.

Na, tenei ia te mea nei kia korerotia kinotia ia, e mea ana, Kihai ahau i kite tohu he wahine tau tamahine; na ko nga tohu enei o te wahinetanga o taku kotiro. Na me hora e raua te kakahu ki te aroaro o nga kaumatua o te pa.

18 Then the elders of that city must take that man and whip him.

Katahi ka mau nga kaumatua o taua pa ki taua tangata, ka whiu i a ia;

19 They shall require that he pay a fine of 100 pieces of silver and give the money to the father of the young woman, because the man caused an Israeli young woman to be disgraced. Also, that woman must continue to live with him; she is his wife. He is not allowed to divorce her during the rest of his life.

A me tango e ratou i taua tangata kia kotahi rau nga hekere hiriwa hei utu, ka hoatu ai ki te papa o te kotiro, mona hoki i whakairi i te ingoa kino ki runga ki tetahi o nga wahine i Iharaira: a hei wahine ia mana; e kore e ahei kia whakarerea e ia i nga ra katoa e ora ai ia.

20 “But if what the man said is true, and there is nothing to prove that she was a virgin when he married her,

Ki te mea ia he tika taua mea, kahore i kitea nga tohu o te wahinetanga o te kotiro:

21 they must take that young woman to the door of her father’s house. Then the men of that city must execute her by throwing stones at her. They must do that because she has done something in Israel that is very disgraceful, by having sex with some man [while she was still living] in her father’s house. By executing her like that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you.

Na me kawe mai e ratou te kotiro ki te kuwaha o te whare o tona papa, a me aki e nga tangata o tona pa ki te kohatu, kia mate: mo tana mahi poauau i roto i a Iharaira, mo tana kairautanga i roto i te whare o tona papa: a ka whakakorea e koe te k ino i roto i a koe.

22 “If a man is caught while he is having sex with another man’s wife, both of them must be executed. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice in Israel.

Ki te mau tetahi tangata e takoto ana ki te wahine whai tahu, na me whakamate raua tokorua, te tane i takoto ki te wahine, me te wahine ano hoki; a ka whakakorea e koe te kino i roto i a Iharaira.

23 “Suppose in some town a man sees a young woman who is engaged/promised to be married to another man, and he is caught having sex with [EUP] her.

Mehemea tera tetahi kotiro, he wahine, i taumautia ma te tane, a ka tupono tetahi tangata ki a ia i te pa, a ka takotoria e ia;

24 You must take both of them to the (gate of/central meeting place in) that town. There you must execute them both by throwing stones at them. You must execute the young woman because she did not shout for help even though she was in the town. And the man must be executed because he had sex [EUP] with someone who was already engaged/promised to be married. By doing that, you will get rid of this evil practice among you.

Me kawe raua ki te kuwaha o tena pa, me aki ki te kohatu, kia mate; te kotiro, i te mea i roto ia i te pa kihai ia i karanga; te tangata, mona i whakaiti i te wahine a tona hoa: a ka whakakorea atu e koe te kino i roto i a koe.

25 “But suppose out in the open countryside a man meets a young woman who is engaged/promised to be married, and he rapes her. If that happens, only that man must be executed.

Otiia ki te tupono te tangata, i te parea, ki tetahi kotiro kua oti te taumau, a ka hopukia atu ia e te tangata ra, ka takotoria hoki e ia: na ko taua tangata anake i takoto nei ki a ia e mate:

26 You must not punish the young woman, because she did not do anything for which she deserves to be executed. This case is like when one man attacks another man [in the countryside] and murders him,

Kauaka ia e ahatia e koe te kotiro; kahore hoki o te kotiro hara e mate ai: e rite ana hoki tenei mea ki te whakatikanga ake o te tangata ki tona hoa, a kohurutia iho:

27 because the man who raped her saw her when she was in the open countryside, and even though she called out for help, there was no one there who could rescue her.

I tupono hoki te tane ki a ia i te parae; a i karanga te kotiro i taumautia nei, a kahore tetahi hei whakaora i a ia.

28 “If a man rapes a young woman who is not engaged/promised to be married, if someone sees him while he is doing that,

Ki te tupono tetahi tangata ki te kotiro, ki te wahine, kahore nei i taumautia, a ka hopu i a ia, ka takoto ki a ia, a ka kitea raua;

29 that man must pay 50 pieces of silver to the young woman’s father, and he must marry her, because he forced her to have sex with him. He is not allowed to divorce her for the rest of his life.

Na kia rima tekau nga hekere hiriwa e homai ki te papa o te kotiro e te tangata i takoto nei ki a ia, a ka waiho te wahine hei wahine mana, mona i whakaiti i a ia; e kore e ahei kia whakarerea e ia i nga ra katoa e ora ai ia.

30 “man must not disgrace his father by having sex with any of his father’s wives.”

E kore e ahei kia tangohia e te tangata te wahine a tona papa, kia hurahia hoki te remu o tona papa.
