Tiuteronomi 23

Ngā Tāngata e Kore e Uru ki roto ki te Whakaminenga a Ihowā

1 Ko te tangata kua unakatia, kua romiromia, kua tapahia atu rānei tōna mea ngaro, e kore e uru ki roto ki te whakaminenga a Ihowā.

2 E kore e uru te pōriro ki roto ki te whakaminenga a Ihowā; ahakoa tae ki te tekau o ōna whakatupuranga, e kore e uru ki roto ki te whakaminenga a Ihowā.

3 E kore e uru te Āmoni, te Moapi rānei, ki roto ki te whakaminenga a Ihowā; ahakoa tae ki te tekau o ō rātou whakatupuranga, e kore e uru ki roto ki te whakaminenga a Ihowā ake ake. 4 Mō rātou kīhai i whakatau i a koutou, me te mau taro mai, me te mau wai mai mō koutou ki te ara, i tō koutou putanga mai i Īhipa; mō rātou hoki i utu i a Paraama, i te tama a Peoro i Petoro i Mehopotamia, hei kanga mōu. 5 Otiia, kīhai a Ihowā, tōu Atua, i pai ki te whakarongo ki tā Paraama engari whakaputaina kētia ake e Ihowā, e tōu Atua te kanga hei manaaki mōu; nō te mea e aroha ana a Ihowā, tōu Atua, ki a koe. 6 Kei whai koe kia mau te rongo ki a rātou, kia kake rānei rātou i ngā rā katoa e ora ai koe.

7 Kaua e whakarihariha ki te Ēromi ko tōu tuakana hoki ia; kaua e whakarihariha ki te Īhipiana; he manene hoki koe i tōna whenua i mua. 8 Kei te toru o ngā whakatupuranga ka uru ā rātou tamariki e whānau ai ki roto ki te whakaminenga a Ihowā.

Te Whakapainga o te Puni Taua

9 Ki te haere ā-ope atu koe ki ōu hoariri, kia tūpato i ngā mea kino katoa. 10 Ki te mea kei roto i a koe tētahi tangata kāhore i mā i te paheketanga o te pō, nā, me haere atu ia ki waho o te puni; kaua ia e haere ki roto ki te puni. 11 Otiia ka whakaahiahi, nā, me horoi ia e ia ki te wai; ā, ka toene te rā, ka haere ia ki roto ki te puni.

12 Ā, me waiho e koe tētahi wāhi i waho o te puni, hei putanga atu mōu ki waho. 13 Kia whai kāheru hoki koe i roto i āu mea; ā, ka noho koe ki waho, nā, me keri e koe ki taua mea, ā, ka tahuri ki te tanu i te mea i puta i roto i a koe. 14 Kei te hāereere hoki a Ihowā, tōu Atua, i waenganui o tōu puni, hei whakaora i a koe, hei tuku hoki i ōu hoariri ki tōu aroaro. Mō reira kia tapu tōu puni; kei kite ia i tētahi mea whakarihariha i roto i a koe, ā, ka tahuri kē i a koe.

He Ture Momo

15 Kaua e tukua atu ki tōna rangatira te pononga i tahuti mai i tōna rangatira ki a koe; 16 me noho ia ki a koe, ki waenga ōu, ki te wāhi e whiriwhiri ai ia, ki tētahi o ōu kūwaha, ki tāna e pai ai; kaua ia e tūkinotia.

17 Kaua tētahi o ngā tamāhine a Īharaira e waiho hei kairau, kaua anō hoki tētahi o ngā tama a Īharaira e whakatangata o Horoma. 18 Kei kawea e koe te utu o te wahine kairau, te utu rānei o te kurī ki roto ki te whare o Ihowā, o tōu Atua, hei mea kī taurangi. He mea whakarihariha hoki ēnā e rua ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua.

19 Kei whakatārewa koe i tētahi mea ki tōu teina hei mea whakatupu; hei moni whakatupu, hei kai whakatupu, i tētahi rānei o ngā mea e whakatārewaina ana hei whakatupu. 20 He tangata kē, whakatārewaina atu te moni whakatupu; ki tōu teina ia kaua e whakatārewaina. Kia manaakitia ai koe e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, i ngā mea katoa e totoro atu ai tōu ringa i runga i te whenua e haere atu nei koe ki reira tango ai.

21 Ki te puaki tāu kī taurangi ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua, kei whakaroa ki te whakamana; nō te mea ka whāia mai e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki a koe; ā, ka waiho hei hara mōu. 22 Ki te kāhore ia e puaki tāu kī taurangi, e kore e waiho hei hara mōu. 23 Ko te mea i puta atu i ōu ngutu kia mana i a koe, mahia; kia rite hoki ki tāu kī taurangi ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua, hei whakahere tuku noa, hei pērā me tā tōu māngai i kōrero ai.

24 E haere koe ki te māra wāina a tōu hoa, kainga ngā karepe e pai ai koe, ā, mākona noa koe; kaua ia e kohia ētahi ki tāu oko. 25 E haere koe ki te wīti kāhore anō kia kotia a tōu hoa, nā, mā tōu ringa e kato ētahi hua; kaua ia he toronaihi e ākina atu ki te wīti a tōu hoa, kāhore anō kia kotia e ia.
