Levítico 26

Te Manaakitanga mō te Whakarongo

1 "Kei hanga koutou he whakapakoko mā koutou, kei whakaara rānei he whakapakoko, he mea whaowhao, he pou rānei, kaua anō hoki he kōhatu āhua ki tō koutou whenua hei koropikotanga atu; ko Ihowā hoki ahau, ko tō koutou Atua. 2 Kia mau ki āku hāpati, kia hopohopo anō ki tōku wāhi tapu. Ko Ihowā ahau.

3 "Ki te haere koutou i runga i āku tikanga, ā, ka pupuri i āku whakahau, ka mahi hoki. 4 Nā, ka hoatu e ahau he ua ki a koutou i tōna pō anō, ā, ka tukua ōna hua e te whenua, ā, ka hua ngā hua o ngā rākau o te pārae. 5 Ā, ka tutuki atu tā koutou patunga wīti ki te whakinga wāina, me te whakinga wāina ki te wā ruinga; ā, ka kai koutou i tā koutou taro, ka mākona, ka ū anō te noho ki tō koutou whenua.

6 "Ā, ka tukua iho e ahau te āta noho ki te whenua, ā, ka takoto iho koutou, kāhore anō hoki he tangata hei mea i a koutou kia wehi. Ka whakakāhoretia atu anō hoki e ahau ngā kīrehe kino i te whenua, e kore anō hoki te hoari e tika nā waenga o tō koutou whenua. 7 Ā, ka whāia e koutou ō koutou hoariri, ā, ka hinga rātou i te hoari ki tō koutou aroaro. 8 Ka whāia hoki te rau kotahi e te tokorima o koutou, ā, ka whati ngā mano kotahi tekau i te rau kotahi o koutou; nā, ka hinga ō koutou hoariri i te hoari ki tō koutou aroaro.

9 "Ka whai whakaaro hoki ahau ki a koutou, ā, ka meinga koutou kia hua, kia tini; ā, ka pūmau tāku kawenata ki a koutou. 10 Ā, ka kai koutou i te kai kua roa e pakoko ana, ā, ka whakaputa i te pakoko ki waho mō te hua hou. 11 Ā, ka whakatūria e ahau tāku tapenākara ki waenganui i a koutou, e kore anō tōku wairua e whakarihariha ki a koutou. 12 Ka hāereere anō hoki ahau i roto i a koutou, ā, hei Atua ahau mō koutou, ko koutou hoki hei iwi māku. 13 Ko Ihowā ahau, ko tō koutou Atua i kawe mai nei i a koutou i te whenua o Īhipa, kei waiho hei pononga mā rātou; motu pū hoki i ahau ngā here o tō koutou ioka, ā, meinga ana koutou kia haere tū."

Te Whiunga mō te Whakapono Kore

14 "Tēnā ko tēnei, ka kore koutou e whakarongo ki ahau, ka kore e mahi i ēnei whakahau katoa; 15 ā, ka whakahāwea ki āku tikanga, ka whakarihariha rānei ō koutou wairua ki āku whakaritenga, ā, kāhore e mahia āku whakahau katoa, engari ka whakatakā tāku kawenata. 16 Nā, ka meinga anō hoki tēnei e ahau ki a koutou; ka meinga e ahau hei rangatira mō koutou te pāwera, te kohi, me te kirikā, hei ngau i ngā kanohi, hei whakapōuri i te ngākau. Ā, ka maumau tā koutou rui i ā koutou purapura; nō te mea ka kainga e ō koutou hoariri. 17 Ā, ka ū atu tōku mata ki a koutou, ā, ka patua koutou i te aroaro o ō koutou hoariri, ka meinga hei kīngi mō koutou te hunga e kino ana ki a koutou; ā, ka rere koutou, ahakoa kāhore he kaiwhai.

18 "Ā, ki te kāhore tonu koutou e rongo ki ahau i ēnei meatanga, nā, e whitu atu āku pakinga i a koutou mō ō koutou hara. 19 Ka whati anō i ahau te whakapehapeha o tō koutou kaha; ā, ka meinga tō koutou rangi kia whakarino, tō koutou whenua hoki kia whakaparāhi. 20 Ā, ka poto kau ō koutou uaua; nō te mea e kore tō koutou whenua e tuku ake i ōna hua, e kore anō hoki e hua ngā hua o ngā rākau o te whenua.

21 "Ā, ki te anga kē atu tā koutou haere i ahau, ki te kore e rongo ki ahau; nā, ka hoatu e ahau kia whitu atu anō ngā whiu ki a koutou, kia rite ki ō koutou hara. 22 Ka tukua anō e ahau te kīrehe koraha ki a koutou, hei kāwhaki i ā koutou tama, hei whakamōtī i ā koutou kararehe, hei mea i a koutou kia torutoru; ā, ka ururuatia ō koutou huanui.

23 "Ā, ki te kāhore koutou e hoki ake ki te pai i ēnei meatanga āku, ā, ka anga kē atu koutou i ahau; 24 heoi, ka anga kē atu hoki ahau i a koutou; ā, ka whiua koutou e ahau, e ahau anō nei, kia whitu atu anō, mō ō koutou hara. 25 Ā, ka kawea e ahau he hoari ki a koutou, hei tohe i te utu mō tāku kawenata. Ā, ka huihui koutou ki roto ki ō koutou pā; ā, ka tukua e ahau te mate urutā ki a koutou; ā, ka hoatu koutou ki te ringa o te hoariri. 26 Ki te whati i ahau tā koutou tokotoko, arā te taro, ka tunua tā koutou taro e ngā wāhine kotahi tekau ki te oumu kotahi, ā, ka whakahokia e rātou tā koutou taro, he mea pāuna; ā, ka kai koutou, ā, e kore e mākona.

27 "Ā, ki te kāhore koutou e rongo ki ahau i ēnei meatanga katoa, ā, ka anga kē atu anō koutou i ahau. 28 Kātahi ahau ka tahuri kino atu i a koutou; ā, māku nei anō koutou e papaki, e whitu atu pakinga, mō ō koutou hara. 29 Ā, e kai koutou i te kikokiko o ā koutou tama, ka kainga hoki e koutou te kikokiko o ā koutou tamāhine. 30 Ā, ka ngaro i ahau ā koutou wāhi teitei, ka tapahia anō hoki ā koutou whakapakoko, ka makā ō koutou tinana ki runga ki ngā tinana o ā koutou whakapakoko; ā, ka whakarihariha anō hoki tōku wairua ki a koutou. 31 Ka ururua anō i ahau ō koutou pā, ka hoki ō koutou wāhi tapu, e kore anō hoki ahau e hongi ki ā koutou kakara reka. 32 Ā, ka tūhea i ahau te whenua; e mīharotia ai e ō koutou hoariri e noho ana i reira. 33 Ā, ka whakamararatia koutou ki roto ki ngā tauiwi, ka maunu hoki i ahau te hoari hei whai i a koutou. Ā, ka tūheatia tō koutou whenua, ka ururuatia hoki ō koutou pā.

34 "Ko reira koa ai te whenua i ōna hāpati, i ngā rā katoa ōna e takoto tūhea ana, i a koutou hoki i te whenua o ō koutou hoariri; ko reira hoki te whenua okioki ai, koa ai hoki i ōna hāpati. 35 Ka okioki i ngā rā katoa o tōna tūheatanga; ko te okioki kīhai i a ia i ō koutou hāpati, i a koutou e noho ana i reira.

36 "Tēnā ko ngā mōrehu o koutou ka ungā e ahau he whakangohe ki ō rātou ngākau i ngā whenua o ō rātou hoariri; ā, ka whati rātou i te ngaehe rau rākau e āia ana; ā, ka rere rātou, ānō e rere ana i te hoari; ā, ka hinga ahakoa kāhore he kaiwhai. 37 Ā, ka tutetute rātou tētahi ki tētahi, ānō e whāia ana e te hoari, i te mea kāhore he kaiwhai. Ā, ka kore he tūranga ake mō koutou ki te aroaro o ō koutou hoariri. 38 Ā, ka ngaro koutou i ngā tauiwi, ka pau anō i te whenua o ō koutou hoariri. 39 Ā, ko ngā toenga o koutou, ka memeha haere i roto i tō rātou kino i ngā whenua o ō koutou hoariri; ka memeha haere rātou i roto i ngā kino ō rātou ko ō rātou mātua.

40 "Ā, ka whākina e rātou tō rātou kino, me te kino o ō rātou mātua, i tō rātou haranga i hara ai ki ahau, me tō rātou haerenga kētanga atu i tāku – 41 i anga kē atu ai ahau i a rātou, i kawea ai rātou ki te whenua o ō rātou hoariri; ki te iro i reira ō rātou ngākau kokotikore, ā, ka whakaae ki te pakinga mō tō rātou kino. 42 Kātahi ahau ka mahara ki tāku kawenata ki a Hākopa; ki tāku kawenata hoki ki a Īhaka; ka mahara anō ki tāku kawenata ki a Āperahama; ka mahara ki te whenua. 43 Ka mahue anō te whenua i a rātou, ā, ka koa ki ōna hāpati, i a ia e takoto tūhea ana, i te mea kāhore nei rātou: me rātou hoki, ka whakaae ki te whiu mō tō rātou kino. Mō tēnei hoki, āe rā mō tēnei, i whakahāwea rātou ki āku whakaritenga, ā, i whakarihariha tō rātou wairua ki āku tikanga.

44 "Nā, ahakoa he pēnā, e kore ahau e whakakāhore ki a rātou, i a rātou i te whenua o ō rātou hoariri, e kore anō e whakarihariha ki a rātou, e huna rawa i a rātou, e whakataka rānei i tāku kawenata ki a rātou. Ko Ihowā hoki ahau, ko tō rātou Atua. 45 Engari, he mea mō rātou, ka mahara ahau ki te kawenata o ō rātou tūpuna, i kawea mai nei e ahau i te whenua o Īhipa i te tirohanga a ngā tauiwi, ki ahau hei Atua mō rātou. Ko ahau a Ihowā."

46 Ko ngā tikanga ēnei, me ngā whakaritenga, me ngā ture i whakatakotoria e Ihowā ki waenganui ōna, o ngā tama a Īharaira, ki Maunga Hinai, he mea nā te ringa o Mohi.

1 Ye shall make you no idols, neither shall ye rear you up a graven image, or a pillar, neither shall ye place any figured stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am Jehovah your God. 2 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am Jehovah.

3 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; 4 then I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. 6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. 7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 8 And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 9 And I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you. 10 And ye shall eat old store long kept, and ye shall bring forth the old because of the new. 11 And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you. 12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people. 13 I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright.

14 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; 15 and if ye shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhor mine ordinances, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant; 16 I also will do this unto you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away; and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be smitten before your enemies: they that hate you shall rule over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. 18 And if ye will not yet for these things hearken unto me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins. 19 And I will break the pride of your power: and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass; 20 and your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield its increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

21 And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. 22 And I will send the beast of the field among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your ways shall become desolate.

23 And if by these things ye will not be reformed unto me, but will walk contrary unto me; 24 then will I also walk contrary unto you; and I will smite you, even I, seven times for your sins. 25 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant; and ye shall be gathered together within your cities: and I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26 When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; 28 then I will walk contrary unto you in wrath; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins. 29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. 30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul shall abhor you. 31 And I will make your cities a waste, and will bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors. 32 And I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies that dwell therein shall be astonished at it. 33 And you will I scatter among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you: and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

34 Then shall the land enjoy its sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye are in your enemies’ land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy its sabbaths. 35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it had not in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. 36 And as for them that are left of you, I will send a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as one fleeth from the sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth. 37 And they shall stumble one upon another, as it were before the sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 38 And ye shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

40 And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary unto me, 41 I also walked contrary unto them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity; 42 then will I remember my covenant with Jacob; and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. 43 The land also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its sabbaths, while it lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they rejected mine ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes. 44 And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them; for I am Jehovah their God; 45 but I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am Jehovah.

46 These are the statutes and ordinances and laws, which Jehovah made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by Moses.
