Leviticus 19
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
2 “Speak to all the people of Israel and tell them this: You must be holy, because I, Yahweh your God, am holy, [and I want you to be like me].
Korero ki te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, Kia tapu koutou: he tapu hoki ahau, a Ihowa, to koutou Atua.
3 ‘Each of you must respect your father and your mother. And you must (honor/treat respectfully) the Sabbath days. I am Yahweh, your God, [and that is what I am commanding you to do].
Me wehi tera, tera, ki tona whaea, ki tona papa, kia mau hoki ki aku hapati: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
4 ‘Do not worship idols or make metal statues of gods for yourselves. I am Yahweh, your God, [and I am the only one you must worship].
Kei tahuri ki te whakapakoko, kei whakarewaina he atua ma koutou: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
5 ‘Then you bring an offering to maintain fellowship with me, offer it in a way that will cause me to accept it.
Ki te whakaherea ano he patunga mo te pai ki a Ihowa, hei te patunga e manakohia ai koutou.
6 The meat should be eaten on the day that you sacrifice it, but you are permitted to eat some of it on the next day. Anything that remains until the third/next day must be completely burned.
Me kai i te rangi ano i whakaherea ai, i te aonga ake ano hoki: a ki te toe tetahi wahi ki te toru o nga ra, me tahu ki te ahi.
7 For any of it to be eaten on the third day is very displeasing to me, and I will not accept that offering.
Ki te kainga hoki tetahi wahi i te toru o nga ra, ka whakariharihangia; e kore e manakohia:
8 I will punish anyone who eats it [after the second day], because he will not have respected that what I say is holy. And that person must no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
A ka waha o ratou hara e nga tangata katoa i kainga ai, no te mea kua whakanoatia te mea tapu a Ihowa; a ka hatepea atu tauta tangata i roto i tona iwi.
9 ‘Then you harvest your grain, leave the grain at the very edge of the field, and do not pick up the grain that has fallen on the ground.
Ina kotia e koutou nga hua o to koutou whenua, kaua e kotia rawatia nga kokonga o tau mara, kaua ano hoki e hamua nga toenga o au hua.
10 And when you harvest your grapes, do not go back a second time to try to harvest some more, and do not pick up the grapes that have fallen on the ground. Leave those things for the poor people and for foreigners who are living among you. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding those things].
Kaua hoki e hamua tau mara waina, kaua ano e kohia nga karepe taka o tau mara waina; me waiho ma te rawakore, ma te tangata iwi ke: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
11 ‘Do not steal anything. ‘Do not tell lies. ‘Do not deceive each other.
Kaua e tahae; kaua hoki e teka, kaua ano e tinihanga tetahi ki tetahi.
12 ‘Do not show that you do not respect me by using/saying my name to falsely promise that you will do something. [Do not forget that] I am Yahweh, your God.
Kei oatitia tekatia hoki toku ingoa, kaua ano hoki e whakanoatia te ingoa o tou Atua: ko Ihowa ahau.
13 ‘Do not cheat anyone or steal from anyone. [‘If you have agreed to] pay your workers at the end of the day, [do what you have promised]; do not keep those wages until the next day.
Kaua e tukinotia tou hoa, kaua hoki e pahuatia: kaua nga utu o te kaimahi e takoto tonu ki a koe i te po, a tae noa ki te ata.
14 ‘Do not curse deaf people, and do not put things in the path of blind people to cause them to stumble.
Kaua e kanga te turi, kaua ano e maka he whakatutuki ki te aroaro o te matapo; engari me wehi ki tou Atua: ko Ihowa ahau.
15 ‘Always [LIT] judge people fairly [DOU]. Do not do special favors for either poor people or rich people.
Kei whakahaere he ina whakawa; kaua e whakaaro ki te kanohi o te rawakore, kaua hoki e whakahonoretia te kanohi o te nui: me whakawa koe mo tou hoa i runga i te tika.
16 ‘Do not spread false rumors about other people. ‘Do not say anything [in court] that would result in some [innocent] person being executed. I, Yahweh, [am commanding this].
Kaua e kopikopiko i roto i tou iwi kawekawe korero ai: kaua ano hoki e tu kia whakahekea te toto o tou hoa: ko Ihowa ahau.
17 ‘Do not hate anyone. Instead, honestly rebuke those who ought to be rebuked, in order that you also will not be guilty.
Kei kino koe ki tou teina i roto i tou ngakau: riria marietia tou hoa, kaua e waiho he hara i runga i a ia.
18 ‘Do not try to get revenge against someone or be angry with someone for a long time. Instead, love other people like you love yourself. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding this].
Kaua e rapu utu, kaua hoki e mauahara ki nga tamariki a tou iwi; engari arohaina tou hoa ano ko koe: ko Ihowa ahau.
19 ‘Obey my laws. ‘Do not allow two different kinds of animals to mate with each other. ‘Do not plant two different kinds of seed in the [same] field. ‘Do not wear clothing made from two different kinds of material.
Kia mau ki aku tikanga. Kaua e whakatupuria he uri mo au kararehe ki tera atu tu karerehe: kaua e whakauruurua nga purapura e whakatongia e koe ki tau mara: kaua ano hoki e meatia ki a koe he kakahu ko tetahi wahi he rinena, ko tetahi he huruhur u.
20 ‘If a man has sex with a slave woman who has been promised to marry some other man, but she has not been bought by that man and is still a slave, the man who had sex with her must be punished. But because she is still a slave, she and the man who had sex with her must not be killed.
Ki te takoto puremu hoki tetahi ki te wahine pononga kua oti te taumau ma te tane, ki te mea kihai i utua, i whakahokia, kihai ano hoki i tukua kia haere noa atu; ka whiua raua; e kore raua e whakamatea, no te mea kihai ia i tukua kia haere noa atu.
21 However, that man must bring a ram to [be slaughtered at] the entrance of the Sacred Tent area, to be an offering in order that he no longer be guilty for his sin.
A me kawe e te tane tana whakahere mo te he ki a Ihowa, ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, he hipi toa hei whakahere mo te he.
22 The priest will offer that ram to me in order that the man will be forgiven for the sin that he committed, and I will forgive him.
A ka whakamarie te tohunga mona ki te hipi toa, ki te whakahere mo te he ki te aroaro o Ihowa, mo tona hara i hara ai; a ku murua tona hara i hara ai.
23 ‘When you enter the land [that I have promised to give to you], and when you plant various kinds of fruit trees, you must not eat any of their fruit for three years [DOU].
E tae hoki koutou ki te whenua, a ka whakatongia e koutou nga rakau kai katoa; me waiho nga hua hei mea kokotikore, kia toru nga tau e waiho ai e koutou hei mea kokotikore: e kore e kainga.
24 In the fourth year all of their fruit must be set aside to belong to me; it must be brought to me to be an offering to praise me.
I te wha ia o nga tau ka tapu nga hua katoa o reira, hei whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa.
25 But in the fifth/next year, you will be permitted to eat their fruit. If you do that, your trees will produce much fruit. I, Yahweh your God, [am promising that].
Engari i te rima o nga tau me kai e koutou nga hua o reira, a ka maha ake ona hua ma koutou: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
26 ‘Do not eat any meat that still has [the animal’s] blood in it. ‘Do not consult spirits to find out what will happen in the future, and do not practice sorcery.
Kaua e kainga tototia tetahi mea: kaua ano hoki e rapu tikanga i nga tohu, i nga kapua.
27 ‘Do not shave the hair at the sides of your heads [like pagan people do].
Kaua e whakaporotakatia nga taha o o koutou mahunga, kaua ano hoki e whakaahuatia kinotia nga taha o tou pahau.
28 ‘Do not cut your bodies [when you are mourning] for people who have died, and do not put tattoos on your bodies. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding this].
Kaua e haea o koutou kikokiko mo te tapapaku, kaua ano hoki e taia he tohu ki a koutou: ko Ihowa ahau.
29 ‘Do not disgrace your daughters by forcing them to become prostitutes. If you cause them to become prostitutes, soon the land will be filled with prostitutes and all other kinds of people’s wicked behavior.
Kaua e whakanoatia tau tamahine, e meinga hei wahine kairau; kei riro te whenua i te kairau, a ka ki te whenua i te kino.
30 ‘Honor my Sabbath days and revere my Sacred Tent, because I, Yahweh, [live there].
Kia mau ki aku hapati, kia hopohopo hoki ki toku wahi tapu: ko Ihowa ahau.
31 ‘Do not seek advice from those who (consult/talk with) the spirits of dead people [DOU], because if you do that, they will defile you. I, Yahweh your God, [am the one you should consult].
Kaua e whakaaro atu ki nga waka atua, kaua ano hoki e whai atu ki nga mata maori, whakapokea ai e ratou: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
32 ‘Stand up when old people [enter the room], and show that you respect them, and also revere me, your God; [that is what] I, Yahweh, [am commanding].
Me whakatika ake koe i te aroaro o te matenga hina, me whakahonore hoki te mata o te koroheke, me wehi ano hoki ki tou Atua: ko Ihowa ahau.
33 ‘When foreigners live among you [in your land], do not mistreat them.
Ki te noho hoki te tangata iwi ki ki a koe, ki tou whenua, kaua koutou e mahi i te kino ki a ia.
34 You must treat them like you treat your fellow-citizens. Love them like you love yourselves, and do not forget that once, when you were foreigners in Egypt, [you were badly mistreated by the people of Egypt]. I, Yahweh your God, [am commanding you to do this].
Ki ta koutou kia rite ki tetahi o o koutou tangata whenua te manene e noho ana i a koutou, arohaina ia ano ko koe; he manene hoki koutou i mua, i te whenua o Ihipa: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
35 ‘When you are measuring things, to see how long they are or how much they weigh or how many there are,
Kei he ta koutou whakahaere ina whakawa, i te ruri ranei, i te pauna taimaha ranei, i te mehua ranei.
36 use correct [measuring sticks and] scales and weights [on the scales] and measuring baskets and other measuring containers. I Yahweh, your God, who brought you out of Egypt, [am giving you these laws].
Kia tika a koutou pauna, kia tika nga whakataimaha, kia tika te epa, kia tika hoki te hine: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua, i kawe mai nei i a koutou i te whenua o Ihipa.
37 ‘Obey carefully [DOU] all my laws and decrees, because I, Yahweh, [am the one who am commanding them].’”
Mo reira kia mau ki aku tikanga katoa, me aku whakaritenga katoa, mahia ano hoki: ko Ihowa ahau.
