1 Korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

2 Me korero ano koe ki nga tama a Iharaira, Ahakoa no nga tama a Iharaira, no te manene ranei e noho ana i a Iharaira, te tangata i hoatu e ia tona uri ki a Moreke, ina, me whakamate ia: me aki e nga tangata whenua ki te kohatu.

3 Ka u atu ano hoki toku mata ki taua tangata, a ka hatepea atu e ahau i roto i tona iwi; mona i hoatu i tona uri ki a Moreke, whakapoke ai i toku wahi tapu, whakanoa ai hoki i toku ingoa tapu.

4 A ki te huna e nga tangata whenua o ratou kanohi, kei kite i taua tangata, ina hoatu e ia tona uri ki a Moreke, a e kore e whakamate i a ia;

5 Ko reira u atu ai toku mata ki taua tangata, ki ona whanaunga hoki, a ka hatepea atu e ahau i roto i to ratou iwi, a ia, me nga tangata katoa e whai ana i a ia, puremu atu ai, puremu ai ki a Moreke.

6 Ki te tahuri ano tetahi wairua ki nga waka atua, ki nga mata maori, whai atu ai, puremu atu ai ki a ratou, ka u atu ano toku mata ki taua wairua, a ka hatepea atu i roto i tona iwi.

7 Engari whakatapua koutou, kia tapu ano hoki: ko Ihowa hoki ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

8 A kia mau ki aku tikanga, me mahi ano hoki: ko Ihowa ahau e whakatapu nei i a koutou.

9 Ki te kanga hoki e tetahi tona papa, tona whaea ranei, me whakamate rawa: kua kanga e ia a tona papa, whaea ranei; ko runga ano i a ia ona toto.

10 A ki te puremu tetahi ki te wahine a te tangata, me whakamate rawa te kaipuremu ki te wahine a tona hoa, te kaipuremu raua ko te wahine i puremutia.

11 Me te tangata hoki i takoto ki te wahine a tona papa, kua hurahia e ia tona papa kia takoto tahanga: me whakamate raua tokorua; ko runga i a raua o raua toto.

12 Ki te takoto hoki te tangata ki tana hunaonga wahine, me whakamate rawa raua tokorua: he mahi anuanu ta raua; ko runga i a raua o raua toto.

13 Ki te takoto hoki he tangata ki a raua whakatane ki te pera me te takoto ki te wahine, he mahi whakarihariha ta raua, me whakamate rawa raua; ko runga i a raua o raua toto.

14 Ki te tango hoki te tangata i te wahine raua ko tona whaea, he mea kino tena: me taha ratou ki te ahi, te tane me nga wahine: kei whai kino koutou i roto i a koutou.

15 Ki te takoto hoki te tangata ki te kararehe, me whakamate rawa ia: me whakamate ano hoki te kararehe.

16 Ki te whakatata hoki te wahine ki tetahi kararehe, a ka takoto ki a ia, me whakamate e koe te wahine raua ko te kararehe: me whakamate rawa raua; ko runga i a raua o raua toto.

17 Ki te tango hoki te tangata i tona tuahine i te tamahine a tona papa, i te tamahine ranei a tona whaea, a ka kite i a ia e takoto tahanga ana, a ka kite ano te wahine i a ia e takoto tahanga ana: he mea kino tena; a ka hatepea atu raua i te tiro hanga a nga tamariki o to raua iwi: nana hoki i hura tona tuahine kia takoto tahanga; ka waha e ia tona kino.

18 Ki te takoto hoki te tangata ki te wahine i a ia e paheke ana, a ka hura i a ia kia takoto tahanga; kua takoto kau i a ia tona puna, kua whakaaturia ano e te wahine te puna o ona toto: a ka hatepea atu raua i roto i to raua iwi.

19 Kaua ano e hurahia kia takoto tahanga te teina, tuakana ranei, o tou whaea, te tuahine ranei o tou papa: e hurahia ana hoki e ia tona whanaunga tupu: ka waha e raua to raua kino.

20 Ki te takoto hoki he tangata ki te wahine a tona matua keke, kua hurahia e ia kia takoto tahanga tona matua keke: ka waha e raua to raua hara: ka mate urikore raua.

21 Ki te tango hoki te tangata i te wahine a tona tuakana, teina ranei, he mea poke tena: kua hurahia e ia tona tuakana, teina ranei, kia takoto tahanga; e kore raua e whai tamariki.

22 Engari kia mau ki aku tikanga katoa me aku whakaritenga katoa, me mahi ano hoki: kei whakaruakina koutou e te whenua ka kawea nei koutou e ahau ki reira noho ai.

23 Kaua ano e haere i runga i nga ritenga o te iwi ka peia nei e ahau i to koutou aroaro: na ratou hoki enei mahi katoa, koia i whakarihariha ai ahau ki a ratou,

24 I mea ai hoki ki a koutou, Ka riro to ratou whenua i a koutou, ka hoatu hoki e ahau ki a koutou hei kainga pumau, he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua, i wehe mai nei i a koutou i roto i nga iwi.

25 Mo reira me wehe ke e koutou nga kararehe pokekore me nga mea poke, nga manu hoki, nga mea poke me nga mea pokekore? kei ai hei take whakarihariha mo o koutou wairua tetahi kararehe, manu ranei, tetahi mea ranei e ngahue ana i te whenua, o nga m ea i wehea atu e ahau i a koutou hei mea poke.

26 A ka tapu koutou ki ahau: no te mea te tapu ahau, a Ihowa, a kua wehea mai koutou e ahau i roto i nga iwi, kia waiho maku.

27 Me whakamate rawa ano hoki te tangata, te wahine ranei, he atua maori tona; me te mata maori hoki: me aki raua ki te kohatu: ko runga i a raua o raua toto.

1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Moreover, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones. 3 I also will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name. 4 And if the people at the land do at all hide their eyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and put him not to death; 5 then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that play the harlot after him, to play the harlot with Molech, from among their people.

6 And the soul that turneth unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto the wizards, to play the harlot after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. 7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am Jehovah your God. 8 And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am Jehovah who sanctifieth you. 9 For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

10 And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. 11 And the man that lieth with his father’s wife hath uncovered his father’s nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 12 And if a man lie with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them. 13 And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 14 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you. 15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast. 16 And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

17 And if a man shall take his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people: he hath uncovered his sister’s nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity. 18 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath made naked her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people. 19 And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister, nor of thy father’s sister; for he hath made naked his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity. 20 And if a man shall lie with his uncle’s wife, he hath uncovered his uncle’s nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless. 21 And if a man shall take his brother’s wife, it is impurity: he hath uncovered his brother’s nakedness; they shall be childless.

22 Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all mine ordinances, and do them; that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, vomit you not out. 23 And ye shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them. 24 But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am Jehovah your God, who hath separated you from the peoples. 25 Ye shall therefore make a distinction between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by bird, or by anything wherewith the ground teemeth, which I have separated from you as unclean. 26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I, Jehovah, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that ye should be mine.

27 A man also or a woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.
