Exodus 22
1 Yahweh also said, “If someone steals a bull or a sheep, and then slaughters it [to sell it or to sacrifice it] or sells its [meat to someone else], he must pay five bulls for the bull [that he stole], and [he must pay] four sheep for the sheep [that he stole].
Ki te tahae te tangata i te kau, i te hipi ranei, a ka patua, ka hokona ranei e ia; kia rima nga kau e homai e ia hei utu mo te kau kotahi, kia wha hoki nga hipi mo te hipi kotahi.
2 If a thief is caught while he is breaking into someone else’s house [at night], if [the one who catches him] kills the thief, he is not guilty of murdering him.
Ki te mau te tahae e poka ara ana, a ka patua, ka mate, kahore he toto e heke mona.
3 But if that happens during the daytime, [the one who killed the thief] is guilty of murdering him. The thief must pay for what he stole. If he has no [animals with which to pay for the one that he stole], he must be sold to [become someone’s else’s slave and the money must be used] to pay for what he stole.
Ki te mea kua whiti te ra ki a ia, ka heke he toto mona; me homai hoki e ia he utu; ki te kahore ana mea, na, me hoko ia mo tana tahae.
4 If the thief still has the animal when he is caught, whether it is a bull or a donkey or a sheep, and it is still alive, the thief must give back [the stolen animal as well as giving] two [additional] animals for each one that he stole.
Ki te mau pu ki tona ringa te mea i tahaetia, he kau, he kaihe ranei, he hipi ranei, a e ora ana; kia rua nga utu e homai e ia.
5 If someone allows his animals to (graze/eat the grass) in his field or in his vineyard, and if they stray away and eat the crops in another person’s field, the owner of the animals must pay [the owner of those crops] by giving him the best crops from his own field or vineyard.
Ki te mea tetahi tangata kia kainga tetahi mara, tetahi kari waina ranei, a ka tukua atu e ia tana kararehe hei kai i te mara a tetahi; me utu e ia ki nga hua papai rawa o tana mara, ki nga hua papai rawa hoki o tana kari waina.
6 Suppose someone starts a fire in his own field, and the fire spreads through the grass and starts burning in someone else’s field, and the fire burns grain that is growing or grain that is already [cut and] stacked. Then the person who started the fire must pay completely for the damage.
Ki te toro atu te ahi, a ka pono ki nga tataramoa, a ka pau nga whakapu witi, te witi ranei e tu ana, te mara ranei; me ata whakautu e te tangata nana i tahu te ahi.
7 Suppose someone gives to another person some money or other valuable goods and asks him to guard them [in his house for a while]. If those things are stolen from that person’s house, if the thief is caught, he must pay back twice [as much as he stole].
Ki te homai e te tangata tetahi moni, etahi mea ranei, ki tona hoa kia tiakina, a ka tahaetia i roto i te whare o taua tangata; ki te kitea te tahae, kia rua nga utu e homai e ia.
8 But if the thief is not caught, the owner of the house [from which the things were stolen] must stand before the judges, so that the judges can determine whether [the owner of the house] was the one who took the other man’s goods [and sold them to someone else].
Ki te kahore i kitea te tahae, na, me kawe te rangatira o te whare ki te Atua, kia kitea me kahore i totoro tona ringaringa ki nga taonga a tona hoa.
9 If two people argue about which one of them owns a bull or a donkey or a sheep or some clothing, or something else that has been lost, the two people who each claim/say that the item belongs to them must stand before the judges. The one whom the judges declare is lying must pay back [to the real owner] twice as many bulls or donkeys or sheep or pieces of clothing.
I nga whakawakanga hara katoa mo te kau, kaihe, hipi, kakahu, mo te ngaromanga o tetahi mea e kiia ana e tetahi nona, me haere te korero a te tokorua ki te Atua; ko te tangata kua whakataua te he ki a ia e te Atua, kia rua nga utu e homai e ia ki tona hoa.
10 Suppose someone gives his donkey or bull or sheep or some other animal to someone else and asks him to take care of it [for a while], and the animal dies or is injured or is stolen while no one is watching.
Ki te homai e tetahi he kaihe ki tona hoa, he kau ranei, he hipi ranei, tetahi ranei o nga tini kararehe, kia tiakina; a ka mate, ka whara ranei, ka pahuatia ranei, kihai ano hoki i kitea:
11 Then the person [who was taking care of the animal] must (swear/solemnly declare), knowing that God is listening, that he did not steal the animal. If he did not steal it the owner of the animal must accept/believe that the other person is telling the truth, and the other person will not have to pay anything back to the owner.
Ka waiho i waenganui i a raua te oati a Ihowa, mo tona ringa kihai i totoro atu ki te taonga o tona hoa: a me whakaae mai e te rangatira o taua mea, e kore ano hoki e utua.
12 But if the animal was stolen [while he was supposed to be taking care of it], the man who promised to take care of it must pay back the owner for the animal.
Otiia ki te mea kua tahaetia atu i a ia, me hoatu he utu ki tona rangatira.
13 If [he says that] the animal was killed by wild animals, he must bring back the remains of the animal that was killed and show it to the animal’s owner. If he does that, he will not have to pay anything for the animal.
Ki te mea kua haehaea, me kawe mai e ia hei whakaatu, a e kore e utua e ia te mea i haea.
14 If someone borrows an animal, and if that animal is hurt or dies when its owner is not there, the one who borrowed it must pay the owner for the animal.
Ki te tikina ano hoki e te tangata tetahi mea a tona hoa, a ka whara, ka mate ranei, me te ngaro ano te rangatira o taua mea, me ata whakautu ano e ia.
15 But if that happens when the owner of the animal is there, the one who borrowed it will not have to pay back anything. If the man who borrowed it only rented it, the money that he paid to rent it will be enough to pay for the animal [dying or being injured].”
Kei reira te rangatira, e kore e utua: ki te mea e utua ana tona tukunga, i haere mai hoki mo tona utu.
16 “If a man persuades a girl/woman to have sex with him, a girl/woman who (is a virgin/has never had sex with any man) and who is not engaged to be married, he must pay the bride price for her and marry her.
Ki te whakawai te tangata i te kotiro kihai i taumautia, a ka moe raua, me whakarite he tapakuha, a me marena e ia hei wahine mana.
17 But if her father refuses to allow her to marry him, he must pay to the woman’s father the amount of money that is equal to the amount of bride price money that men pay for virgins.
Ki te tino whakakahore rawa tona papa, a e kore e tukua ki a ia, me homai e ia nga moni e rite ana ki te kaireperepe mo nga kotiro.
18 You must execute any woman who (practices sorcery/is a shaman).
Kei tukua e koe te wahine makutu kia ora.
19 You must execute any person who has sex with an animal.
Ko te tangata i takotoria e ia he kararehe, me whakamate rawa.
20 You [must offer sacrifices] only to Yahweh. You must execute anyone who offers a sacrifice to any [other] god.
Me whakangaro rawa te tangata e patu whakahere ana ma tetahi atua ke; engari ma Ihowa anake.
21 You must not mistreat a foreigner [who comes to live among you]. Do not forget that you were previously foreigners in Egypt.
Kaua hoki e whakatoia te manene, kaua ano hoki ia e tukinotia: he manene hoki koutou i mua, i te whenua o Ihipa.
22 You must not mistreat any widow or any orphan.
Kaua e whakatupuria kinotia te pouaru, te pani ranei.
23 If you mistreat them and they cry out to me [for help], I will hear them.
Ki te anga koe ki te whakatupukino i a raua, a ka tangi raua ki ahau, ina, ka whakarongo ahau ki ta raua karanga;
24 And I will be angry with you, and I will cause you to be killed in a war [MTY]. Your wives will become widows, and your children will no longer have fathers.
A ka mura toku riri, ka patua ano hoki koutou ki te hoari; a ka pouarutia a koutou wahine, ka pania ano hoki a koutou tamariki.
25 If you lend money to any of my people who are poor, do not act like a moneylender and require him to pay interest on the money.
Ki te whakatarewa koe i te moni ki tetahi o taku iwi, ki tetahi o ou rawakore, kei rite tau ki a ia ki ta te kaiwhakatuputupu moni, kei tangohia i a ia te moni whakatuputupu.
26 If he gives you his cloak to guarantee [that he will pay the money back], you must give the cloak back to him before the sun goes down,
Ki te tangohia e koe te kakahu o tou hoa hei taunaha, kaua e tukua kia rere te ra ka whakahoki ai ki a ia:
27 because he needs it to keep him warm [during the night]. (That is the only covering that poor people have when they sleep at night./What else will he cover himself with during the night?) [RHQ] [If you do not act mercifully toward him by returning his cloak], when he cries out to me asking for my help, I will help him, because I [always act] mercifully.
Ko tena anake na hoki hei uhi mona, hei kakahu mona, mo tona kiri: a ko te aha hei moenga iho mona? ki te karanga mai hoki ia ki ahau, na ka whakarongo atu ahau; no te mea he mahi tohu tangata taku.
28 Do not (revile/speak evil about) me, and do not (curse/ask me to do harmful things to) any ruler of your people.
Kaua e kohukohu ki te Atua, kaua ano hoki e kanga ki te ariki o tou iwi.
29 (Do not withhold from/Give) me the best parts of the grain that you harvest and of the olive oil and the wine that you produce.
Kei whakaroa koe ki te homai i nga matamua o ou hua, o ou wai: me homai e koe te matamua o au tamariki ki ahau.
30 You must dedicate your firstborn sons to me. Similarly, your firstborn [male] cattle and sheep belong to me. After those animals are born, allow them to stay with their mothers for seven days. On the eighth day, offer them to me [as a sacrifice].
Kia pera ano tau e mea ai ki au kau, ki au hipi: e whitu nga ra e noho ai ia ki tona whaea; i te waru o nga ra me homai ki ahau.
31 You are people who are (completely dedicated to/set apart for) me. [And I detest] the meat of any animal that has been killed by wild animals. Therefore you should not eat such meat. Instead, throw it where the dogs [can eat it].”
Hei tangata tapu hoki koutou maku: kaua ano e kai i te kikokiko i haea ki te parae; me maka ma te kuri.
