Deuteronomy 23
1 “Any man whose testicles are crushed or whose penis is cut off shall not be (included as one of/allowed to worship with) Yahweh’s people.
Ko te tangata kua unakatia, kua romiromia, kua tapahia atu ranei tona mea ngaro, e kore e uru ki roto ki te whakaminenga a Ihowa.
2 “No (illegitimate person/person whose mother and father were not married), or descendant of that person, extending to the tenth generation, shall be included as one of Yahweh’s people.
E kore e uru te poriro ki roto ki te whakaminenga a Ihowa; ahakoa tae ki te tekau o ona whakatupuranga, e kore e uru ki roto ki te whakaminenga a Ihowa.
3 “No one from the Ammon or Moab people-groups shall be (included as one of/allowed to worship with) Yahweh’s people, extending to the tenth generation.
E kore e uru te Amoni, te Moapi ranei, ki roto ki te whakaminenga a Ihowa; ahakoa tae ki te tekau o o ratou whakatupuranga, e kore e uru ki roto ki te whakaminenga a Ihowa ake ake:
4 One reason is that their [leaders] refused to give your ancestors food and water when they were traveling from Egypt [to Canaan]. Another reason is that they wanted to pay Balaam, the son of Beor from Pethor [town] in Mesopotamia, to curse you Israelis.
Mo ratou kihai i whakatau i a koutou, me te mau taro mai, me te mau wai mai mo koutou ki te ara, i to koutou putanga mai i Ihipa; mo ratou hoki i utu i a Paraama, i te tama a Peoro i Petoro i Mehopotamia, hei kanga mou.
5 But Yahweh our God did not pay attention to Balaam; instead, he caused Balaam to bless your ancestors, because Yahweh loved them.
Otiia kihai a Ihowa, tou Atua, i pai ki te whakarongo ki ta Paraama; engari whakaputaina ketia ake e Ihowa, e tou Atua te kanga hei manaaki mou; no te mea e aroha ana a Ihowa, tou Atua, ki a koe.
6 As long as Israel is a nation, you must not do anything to cause things to go well for those two people-groups or enable them to prosper.
Kei whai koe kia mau te rongo ki a ratou, kia kake ranei ratou i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe.
7 “But do not despise anyone from the Edom people-group, because they are [descendants of your ancestor Jacob], just like you are. And do not despise people from Egypt, because [they treated your ancestors well when] they first lived in Egypt.
Kaua e whakarihariha ki te Eromi; ko tou tuakana hoki ia; kaua e whakarihariha ki te Ihipiana; he manene hoki koe i tona whenua i mua.
8 The children and grandchildren of people from Edom and Egypt [who live among you] may be (included among/allowed to worship with) Yahweh’s people.”
Kei te toru o nga whakatupuranga ka uru a ratou tamariki e whanau ai ki roto ki te whakaminenga a Ihowa.
9 “When your soldiers are living in tents at a time of fighting your enemies, they must avoid doing things that would make them unacceptable to God.
Ki te haere a ope atu koe ki ou hoariri, kia tupato i nga mea kino katoa.
10 If any soldier becomes unacceptable to God because semen comes out of his body during the night, [the next morning] he must go outside the camp and stay there during that day.
Ki te mea kei roto i a koe tetahi tangata kahore i ma i te paheketanga o te po, na me haere atu ia ki waho o te puni; kaua ia e haere ki roto ki te puni:
11 But in the evening of that day, he must bathe himself, and at sunset he is allowed to come back into the camp.
Otiia ka whakaahiahi, na me koroi ia e ia ki te wai; a ka toene te ra, ka haere ia ki roto ki te puni.
12 “Your soldiers must have a toilet area outside the camp where you can go [when you need to].
A me waiho e koe tetahi wahi i waho o te puni, hei putanga atu mou ki waho:
13 [When you go to fight against your enemies], carry a stick along with your weapons, in order that when you need to defecate [EUP], you can dig a hole with the stick, and then cover up the hole [when you have finished defecating].
Kia whai kaheru hoki koe i roto i au mea; a ka noho koe ki waho, na me keri e koe ki taua mea, a ka tahuri ki te tanu i te mea i puta i roto i a koe:
14 You must keep the camp acceptable to Yahweh our God, because he is with you in your camp to protect you and to enable you to defeat your enemies. Do not do anything disgraceful/indecent that would cause Yahweh to abandon you.”
Kei te haereere hoki a Ihowa, tou Atua, i waenganui o tou puni, hei whakaora i a koe, hei tuku hoki i ou hoariri ki tou aroaro; mo reira kia tapu tou puni: kei kite ia i tetahi mea whakarihariha i roto i a koe, a ka tahuri ke i a koe.
15 “If slaves who escape from their masters come to you [and request you to protect them], do not send them back to their masters.
Kaua e tukua atu ki tona rangatira te pononga i tahuti mai i tona rangatira ki a koe:
16 Allow them to stay/live among you, in whatever town they choose, and do not mistreat them.
Me noho ia ki a koe, ki waenga ou, ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai ia, ki tetahi o ou kuwaha, ki tana e pai ai: kaua ia e tukinotia.
17 “Do not [allow] any Israeli man or woman [to] become a prostitute at the temple.
Kaua tetahi o nga tamahine a Iharaira e waiho hei kairau, kaua ano hoki tetahi o nga tama a Iharaira e whakatangata o Horoma.
18 Also, do not allow any people who earned money from being a prostitute to bring any of that money into the temple of Yahweh our God, even if they solemnly promised to pay that money to Yahweh. Yahweh hates those who are prostitutes.
Kei kawea e koe te utu o te wahine kairau, te utu ranei o te kuri ki roto ki te whare o Ihowa, o tou Atua, hei mea ki taurangi: he mea whakarihariha hoki ena e rua ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua.
19 “When you lend money or food or anything else to a fellow Israeli, do not charge them interest.
Kei whakatarewa koe i tetahi mea ki tou teina hei mea whakatupu; hei moni whakatupu, hei kai whakatupu, i tetahi ranei o nga mea e whakatarewaina ana hei whakatupu:
20 You are allowed to charge interest when you lend money to foreigners [who live in your land], but not when you lend money to Israelis. Do this in order that Yahweh our God will bless you in everything that you do in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
He tangata ke, whakatarewaina atu te moni whakatupu; ki tou teina ia kaua e whakatarewaina: kia manaakitia ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, i nga mea katoa e totoro atu ai tou ringa i runga i te whenua e haere atu nei koe ki reira tango ai.
21 “When you vow to give something to Yahweh your God [or to do something for him], do it as soon as you can. Yahweh expects you to do what you promised, and if you do not do it, you will be committing a sin.
Ki te puaki tau ki taurangi ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, kei whakaroa ki te whakamana; no te mea ka whaia mai e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe; a ka waiho hei hara mou.
22 But if you [SYN] do not vow [to do something], that is not sinful.
Ki te kahore ia e puaki tau ki taurangi, e kore e waiho hei hara mou.
23 But if you voluntarily promise to do something, you must do it.
Ko te mea i puta atu i ou ngutu kai mana i a koe, mahia; kia rite hoki ki tau ki taurangi ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, hei whakahere tuku noa, hei pera me ta tou mangai i korero ai.
24 “When you walk through someone else’s vineyard, you are allowed to [pick and] eat as many grapes as you want, but you must not [cut some from a vine and carry them away] in a container.
E haere koe ki te mara waina a tou hoa, kainga nga karepe e pai ai koe, a makona noa koe; kaua ia e kohia etahi ki tau oko.
25 When you walk [along a path] in someone else’s field of grain, you are allowed to pluck/pick some of the grain and eat it, but you must not cut any grain with a sickle [and take it with you].”
E haere koe ki te witi kahore ano kia kotia a tou hoa, na ma tou ringa e kato etahi hua; kaua ia he toronaihi e akina atu ki te witi a tou hoa, kahore ano kia kotia e ia.
