1 E kite koe i te kau a tou teina, i tana hipi ranei, e atiutiu ke ana, kei ninihi atu koe i a raua: me ata whakahoki ano e koe ki tou teina.

2 A, ki te kahore tou teina e tata mai ana ki a koe, ki te kahore ranei kore e mohio ki a ia, na me kawe mai ki tou whare, a ki a koe noho ai, a rapu noa tou teina i a ia; katahi koe ka whakahoki atu ai ki a ia.

3 Me pena ano e koe ki tana kaihe; a me pena ano e koe ki tona kakahu; me pena ano hoki ki nga mea ngaro katoa a tou teina, ina ngaro i a ia, a e kitea e koe; e kore e ahei kia ninihi koe.

4 E kite koe i te kaihe a tou teina, i tana kau ranei, kua hinga i te ara, kei ninihi koe i a raua: me tino awhina koe i a ia ki te whakaara i a raua.

5 Kei kakahuria e te wahine tetahi mea o te tane, kei kakahuria hoki e te tane te kakahu o te wahine: he mea whakarihariha hoki ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, te hunga katoa e pena ana.

6 Ki te pono koe ki te ohanga manu i te ara, i runga i te rakau, i te whenua ranei, me nga pi ano, me nga hua ranei, me te katua e pehi ana i nga pi, i nga hua ranei, kei tangohia ngatahitia e koe te katua me nga pi:

7 Me tuku tonu atu e koe te katua, ka tango ai i nga pi mau; kia whiwhi ai koe ki te pai, kia roa ai ou ra.

8 Ki te hanga koe he whare hou, me hanga ano he taiepa mo tou tuanui, kei whai toto i a koe tou whare, ina taka te tangata i runga.

9 Kaua e whakauruurua nga purapura e whakatokia e koe ki tau mara waina; kei poke te hua o te purapura e whakatokia e koe, me nga hua o te mara waina.

10 Kaua e huihuia te kau ki te kaihe hei parau mau.

11 Kei kakahuria e koe te mea kakano whakauru, ara te huruhuru hipi i whakaurua nei ki te rinena.

12 Hanga etahi taniko mau mo nga tapa e wha o tou kakahu e kakahu ai koe.

13 Ki te tango te tangata i te wahine, a ka haere ki roto, ki a ia, a ka kino ki a ia,

14 A ka hahani ki a ia, ka whakakinokino i tona ingoa, a ka mea, I tango ahau i tenei wahine, a, i toku whakatatanga ki a ia, ka kite ahau ehara ia i te wahine:

15 Katahi te papa raua ko te whaea o te kotiro ka tiki, ka kawe i nga tohu o te wahinetanga o te kotiro ki nga kaumatua o te pa, ki te kuwaha:

16 A ka korero te papa o te kotiro ki nga kaumatua, I hoatu e ahau taku tamahine nei hei wahine ma tenei tangata, a e kinongia ana e ia:

17 Na, tenei ia te mea nei kia korerotia kinotia ia, e mea ana, Kihai ahau i kite tohu he wahine tau tamahine; na ko nga tohu enei o te wahinetanga o taku kotiro. Na me hora e raua te kakahu ki te aroaro o nga kaumatua o te pa.

18 Katahi ka mau nga kaumatua o taua pa ki taua tangata, ka whiu i a ia;

19 A me tango e ratou i taua tangata kia kotahi rau nga hekere hiriwa hei utu, ka hoatu ai ki te papa o te kotiro, mona hoki i whakairi i te ingoa kino ki runga ki tetahi o nga wahine i Iharaira: a hei wahine ia mana; e kore e ahei kia whakarerea e ia i nga ra katoa e ora ai ia.

20 Ki te mea ia he tika taua mea, kahore i kitea nga tohu o te wahinetanga o te kotiro:

21 Na me kawe mai e ratou te kotiro ki te kuwaha o te whare o tona papa, a me aki e nga tangata o tona pa ki te kohatu, kia mate: mo tana mahi poauau i roto i a Iharaira, mo tana kairautanga i roto i te whare o tona papa: a ka whakakorea e koe te k ino i roto i a koe.

22 Ki te mau tetahi tangata e takoto ana ki te wahine whai tahu, na me whakamate raua tokorua, te tane i takoto ki te wahine, me te wahine ano hoki; a ka whakakorea e koe te kino i roto i a Iharaira.

23 Mehemea tera tetahi kotiro, he wahine, i taumautia ma te tane, a ka tupono tetahi tangata ki a ia i te pa, a ka takotoria e ia;

24 Me kawe raua ki te kuwaha o tena pa, me aki ki te kohatu, kia mate; te kotiro, i te mea i roto ia i te pa kihai ia i karanga; te tangata, mona i whakaiti i te wahine a tona hoa: a ka whakakorea atu e koe te kino i roto i a koe.

25 Otiia ki te tupono te tangata, i te parea, ki tetahi kotiro kua oti te taumau, a ka hopukia atu ia e te tangata ra, ka takotoria hoki e ia: na ko taua tangata anake i takoto nei ki a ia e mate:

26 Kauaka ia e ahatia e koe te kotiro; kahore hoki o te kotiro hara e mate ai: e rite ana hoki tenei mea ki te whakatikanga ake o te tangata ki tona hoa, a kohurutia iho:

27 I tupono hoki te tane ki a ia i te parae; a i karanga te kotiro i taumautia nei, a kahore tetahi hei whakaora i a ia.

28 Ki te tupono tetahi tangata ki te kotiro, ki te wahine, kahore nei i taumautia, a ka hopu i a ia, ka takoto ki a ia, a ka kitea raua;

29 Na kia rima tekau nga hekere hiriwa e homai ki te papa o te kotiro e te tangata i takoto nei ki a ia, a ka waiho te wahine hei wahine mana, mona i whakaiti i a ia; e kore e ahei kia whakarerea e ia i nga ra katoa e ora ai ia.

30 E kore e ahei kia tangohia e te tangata te wahine a tona papa, kia hurahia hoki te remu o tona papa.

1 Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother. 2 And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again. 3 In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother’s, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.

4 Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again.

5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

6 If a bird’s nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young: 7 But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.

8 When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence.

9 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled.

10 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.

11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.

12 Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.

13 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her, 14 And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid: 15 Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel’s virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate: 16 And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her; 17 And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. 18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him; 19 And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days. 20 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: 21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.

22 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.

23 If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; 24 Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.

25 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die: 26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter: 27 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.

28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; 29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

30 A man shall not take his father’s wife, nor discover his father’s skirt.
