Rewitikuha 18

1 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

Jehovah said to Moses,

2 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, Ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

"Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, 'I am Jehovah your God.

3 Kei rite a koutou mahi ki nga mahi a te whenua o Ihipa, i noho na koutou: kei rite hoki a koutou mahi ki nga mahi a te whenua o Kanaana, e kawea nei koutou e ahau ki reira: kei haere i runga i a ratou tikanga.

You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived: and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you; neither shall you walk in their statutes.

4 Me mahi aku whakaritenga, kia mau ki aku tikanga, me haere hoki i reira; ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

You shall do my ordinances, and you shall keep my statutes, and walk in them: I am Jehovah your God.

5 Ina, kia mau ki aku tikanga, ki aku whakaritenga: ki te mahia hoki ena e te tangata, me reira e ora ai: ko Ihowa ahau.

You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances; which if a man does, he shall live in them: I am Jehovah.

6 Kaua tetahi o koutou e whakatata ki tetahi o ona whanaunga tupu, hura ai i to ratou kiri tahanga: ko Ihowa ahau.

"'None of you shall approach anyone who are his close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: I am Jehovah.

7 Kei hurahia e koe tou papa, tou whaea ranei, kia takoto tahanga: ko tou whaea ia; kei hurahia e koe kia takoto tahanga.

"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, nor the nakedness of your mother: she is your mother. You shall not uncover her nakedness.

9 Kei hurahia e koe kia takoto tahanga tou tuahine, te tamahine a tou papa, te tamahine ranei a tou whaea, ahakoa i whanau ki te kainga, i whanau ranei ki tetahi atu wahi; kei hurahia raua e koe kia takoto tahanga.

"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home, or born abroad.

10 Kei hurahia e koe kia takoto tahanga te tamahine a tau tama, te tamahine ranei a tau tamahine, kei hurahia raua e koe kia takoto tahanga: nou hoki te wahi o raua i takoto tahanga na.

"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son's daughter, or of your daughter's daughter, even their nakedness: for theirs is your own nakedness.

11 Kei takoto tahanga i a koe te tamahine a te wahine a tou papa, te whanau a tou papa, he tuahine ia nou, kei hurahia ia e koe kia takoto tahanga.

"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife's daughter, conceived by your father, since she is your sister, you shall not uncover her nakedness.

12 Kei hurahia te tuahine o tou papa kia takoto tahanga: he whanaunga tupu ia no tou papa.

"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister: she is your father's flesh.

13 Kei hurahia e koe te tuakana, teina ranei, o tou whaea kia takoto tahanga: he whanaunga tupu hoki ia no tou whaea.

"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister: for she is your mother's flesh

14 Kei hurahia e koe kia takoto tahanga te teina, tuakana ranei, o tou papa, kei whakatata koe ki tana wahine; ko tou whaea keke ia.

"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, you shall not approach his wife: she is your aunt.

15 Kei hurahia e koe tau hunaonga kia takoto tahanga: ko te wahine ia a tau tama, kei hurahia ia e koe kia takoto tahgana.

"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law: she is your son's wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.

16 Kei hurahia e koe kia takoto tahanga te wahine a tou tuakana, teina ranei; no tou tuakana, teina ranei, taua wahi i takoto tahanga na.

17 Kei hurahia e koe kia takoto tahanga te wahine raua ko tana tamahine, kaua ano e tangohia te tamahine a tana tama, te tamahine ranei a tana tamahine, hura ai i a ia kia takoto tahanga; he whanaunga pu hoki ratou ki a ia: he mea kino tena.

"'You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter. You shall not take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness.

18 Kaua ano hoki e tangohia he wahine ki te taha o tona tuakana, teina ranei, hei whakatetetete ki a ia; kaua ia e hurahia kia takoto tahanga, me te ora ano hoki tera.

"'You shall not take a wife to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is yet alive.

20 Kaua ano hoki e takoto puremu ki te wahine a tou hoa, whakapoke ai i a koe ki a ia.

"'You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor's wife, and defile yourself with her.

21 Kaua ano e tukua tetahi o ou uri kia haere na waenga ahi hei mea ki a Moreke, kaua ano e whakanoatia te ingoa o tou Atua: ko Ihowa ahau.

"'You shall not give any of your children to sacrifice to Molech; neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am Jehovah.

22 Kei takotoria wahinetia te tane: he mea whakarihariha tena.

"'You shall not have sexual relations with a male, as with a woman. That is detestable.

23 Kaua ano hoki e takoto ki tetahi kararehe, whakapoke ai i a koe ki taua mea: kaua hoki tetahi wahine e tu ki te aroaro o tetahi kararehe, takoto tahi ai raua: he mea anuanu tena.

"'You shall not have sexual relations with any animal to become defiled with it, nor shall any woman give herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it. It is a perversion.

24 Kei poke koutou i tetahi o enei mea: e poke ana hoki i enei mea katoa nga iwi ka peia nei e ahau i to koutou aroaro:

"'Do not defile yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.

25 Kua poke ano hoki te whenua: koia ahau i mea ai kia tau iho tona kino ki runga ki a ia; a e whakaruaki ana te whenua i ona tangata.

The land was defiled: therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.

26 Mo reira kia mau ki aku tikanga, ki aku whakaritenga whakawa; kaua ano e mahia tetahi o enei mea whakarihariha e te tangata whenua, e te manene ranei i roto i a koutou:

You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you;

27 No te mea kua mahia enei mea whakarihariha katoa e nga tangata whenua o mua i a koutou, a poke iho te whenua;

(for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land became defiled);

28 Kei whakaruakina ano hoki koutou e te whenua, ina poke i a koutou, pera me nga iwi e whakaruakina nei i to koutou aroaro.

that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

29 Ki te mahia hoki tetahi o enei mea whakarihariha e tetahi tangata, ina, ka hatepea atu nga wairua e pena i roto i to ratou iwi.

"'For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.

30 No reira kia mau ki aku i whakahau atu ai, kei mahia e koutou tetahi o enei ritenga whakarihariha i mahia nei i mua i a koutou, kei poke hoki koutou i aua mea: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs, which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them: I am Jehovah your God.'"
