Deuteronômio 16

1 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover to Yahweh your God; for in the month of Abib Yahweh your God brought you out of Egypt by night. 2 You shall sacrifice the Passover to Yahweh your God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which Yahweh shall choose to cause his name to dwell there. 3 You shall eat no leavened bread with it. You shall eat unleavened bread with it seven days, even the bread of affliction (for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste) that you may remember the day when you came out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life. 4 No yeast shall be seen with you in all your borders seven days; neither shall any of the meat, which you sacrifice the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning. 5 You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which Yahweh your God gives you; 6 but at the place which Yahweh your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell in, there you shall sacrifice the Passover at evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that you came out of Egypt. 7 You shall roast and eat it in the place which Yahweh your God chooses. In the morning you shall return to your tents. 8 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to Yahweh your God. You shall do no work.

9 You shall count for yourselves seven weeks. From the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you shall begin to count seven weeks. 10 You shall keep the feast of weeks to Yahweh your God with a tribute of a free will offering of your hand, which you shall give according to how Yahweh your God blesses you. 11 You shall rejoice before Yahweh your God: you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite who is within your gates, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow who are among you, in the place which Yahweh your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there. 12 You shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt. You shall observe and do these statutes.

13 You shall keep the feast of booths seven days, after you have gathered in from your threshing floor and from your wine press. 14 You shall rejoice in your feast, you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow who are within your gates. 15 You shall keep a feast to Yahweh your God seven days in the place which Yahweh chooses, because Yahweh your God will bless you in all your increase and in all the work of your hands, and you shall be altogether joyful. 16 Three times in a year all of your males shall appear before Yahweh your God in the place which he chooses: in the feast of unleavened bread, in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of booths. They shall not appear before Yahweh empty. 17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to Yahweh your God’s blessing which he has given you. 18 You shall make judges and officers in all your gates, which Yahweh your God gives you, according to your tribes; and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment. 19 You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality. You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous. 20 You shall follow that which is altogether just, that you may live and inherit the land which Yahweh your God gives you. 21 You shall not plant for yourselves an Asherah of any kind of tree beside Yahweh your God’s altar, which you shall make for yourselves. 22 Neither shall you set yourself up a sacred stone which Yahweh your God hates.

Te Kapenga

1 Kia mahara ki te marama, ki a Apipi, ka mahi i te Kapenga ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua; ko Apipi hoki te marama i whakaputaina mai ai koe e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, i Īhipa i te pō. 2 Nā, me patu e koe te Kapenga ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua, o te kāhui hipi, o te kāhui kau, ki te wāhi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowā kia waiho tōna ingoa ki reira. 3 Kaua e kainga tahitia te parāoa rēwena me taua mea. Kia whitu ngā rā e kai ai koe i te taro rēwenakore me taua mea, arā i te taro tangihanga; i haere pōtatutatu mai hoki koe i te whenua o Īhipa; kia mahara ai koe ki te rā i puta mai ai koe i te whenua o Īhipa i ngā rā katoa e ora ai koe. 4 Ā, kia whitu ngā rā e kore ai e kitea he rēwena ki a koe i ōu rohe katoa; kaua hoki e whakatoea mō te ata tētahi wāhi o te kikokiko e patua e koe i te ahiahi o te rā tuatahi.

5 E kore e āhei kia patua te Kapenga i roto i tētahi o ōu tatau, e hōmai ana e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki a koe. 6 Engari hei te wāhi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowā, tōu Atua, kia waiho tōna ingoa ki reira, hei reira koe patu ai i te Kapenga i te ahiahi, i te toenetanga o te rā, i te wā anō i puta mai ai koe i Īhipa. 7 Nā, me tunu e koe, me kai hoki ki te wāhi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowā, tōu Atua; ā, i te ata ka tahuri, ka haere ki ōu tēneti. 8 E ono ngā rā e kai ai koe i te taro rēwenakore; ā, i te rā whitu ko te huihui nui ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua; kaua tētahi mahi e mahia i taua rā.

Te Hākari o ngā Wiki

9 Taua e koe, kia whitu ngā wiki; kei tau tukunga mataati i te toronaihi ki te kotinga koe tīmata mai ai te tatau i ngā wiki e whitu. 10 Nā, me mahi te Hākari o Ngā Wiki ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua, ki tētahi tahua, he mea hoatu noa nā tōu ringa; kia rite tāu e hoatu ai ki te manaaki a Ihowā, a tōu Atua, i a koe. 11 Nā, ka koa koe ki te aroaro o Ihowā, o tōu Atua – a koe, koutou tahi ko tāu tama, ko tāu tamāhine, me tāu pononga tāne, me tāu pononga wahine, me te Rīwaiti i roto i ōu tatau, me te manene, me te pani, me te pouaru i roto i a koe – ki te wāhi i whiriwhiria e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, kia waiho tōna ingoa ki reira. 12 Ā, kia mahara koe he pononga koe i Īhipa i mua; me pupuri hoki, me mahi ēnei tikanga.

Te Hākari Whare Wharau

13 Me mahi te Hākari Whare Wharau, kia whitu ngā rā, ua poto i a koe te kohikohi mai i tāu patunga wīti me tāu poka wāina. 14 Ā, ka koa koe ki tāu hākari, a koe, koutou tahi ko tāu tama, ko tāu tamāhine, ko tāu pononga tāne, ko tāu pononga wahine, me te Rīwaiti, te manene, te pani me te pouaru i roto i ōu tatau. 15 Kia whitu ngā rā o tāu hākari ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua, i te wāhi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowā; ka manaaki hoki a Ihowā, tōu Atua, i a koe i āu hua katoa, i ngā mahi katoa hoki a ōu ringa, ā, ka tino harakoa koe.

16 E toru ngā wā o te tau e kitea ai ōu tāne katoa ki te aroaro o Ihowā, o tōu Atua, ki te wāhi e whiriwhiri ai ia; ko te Hākari Taro Rēwenakore, ko te Hākari o Ngā Wiki, ko te Hākari Whare Wharau. Kaua hoki e puta kau ki te aroaro o Ihowā; 17 me hōmai e ia tangata te mea e taea e ia, kia rite ki te manaaki i hōmai e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki a koe.

Te Whakahaere o te Mahi Tika

18 Whakatūria ētahi kaiwhakawā, me ētahi rangatira mōu i ōu kūwaha katoa, e hōmai ana e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki a koe, mō ōu iwi; kia tika hoki tā rātou whakawā mō te iwi. 19 Kaua e whakapeaua kētia te whakawā; kaua hoki e whakapai kanohi; kaua anō e tango i te utu whakapati; he mea whakamatapō hoki te utu whakapati i ngā kanohi o te hunga whakaaro nui, he mea whakapeau kē i ngā kupu a te hunga tika. 20 Ko te mea tika anake tāu e whai ai, kia ora ai koe, kia noho ai hoki ki te whenua e hōmai nei e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki a koe.

Kei Karakiatia Tēhea Momo Rākau, Whakapakoko Rānei

21 Kaua e whakatōkia e koe he Āhera o tēhea momo rākau ki te taha o te āta a Ihowā, a tōu Atua, e hangā e koe. 22 Kaua anō hoki e whakatūria ake tētahi pou whakapakoko māu e kinongia nei e Ihowā, e tōu Atua.
