Deuteronômio 21

1 If someone is found slain in the land which Yahweh your God gives you to possess, lying in the field, and it isn’t known who has struck him, 2 then your elders and your judges shall come out, and they shall measure to the cities which are around him who is slain. 3 It shall be that the elders of the city which is nearest to the slain man shall take a heifer of the herd, which hasn’t been worked with and which has not drawn in the yoke. 4 The elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer’s neck there in the valley. 5 The priests the sons of Levi shall come near, for them Yahweh your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in Yahweh’s name; and according to their word shall every controversy and every assault be decided. 6 All the elders of that city which is nearest to the slain man shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley. 7 They shall answer and say, "Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it. 8 Forgive, Yahweh, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and don’t allow innocent blood among your people Israel." The blood shall be forgiven them. 9 So you shall put away the innocent blood from among you, when you shall do that which is right in Yahweh’s eyes.

10 When you go out to battle against your enemies, and Yahweh your God delivers them into your hands and you carry them away captive, 11 and see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you are attracted to her, and desire to take her as your wife, 12 then you shall bring her home to your house. She shall shave her head and trim her nails. 13 She shall take off the clothing of her captivity, and shall remain in your house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month. After that you shall go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife. 14 It shall be, if you have no delight in her, then you shall let her go where she desires; but you shall not sell her at all for money. You shall not deal with her as a slave, because you have humbled her.

15 If a man has two wives, the one beloved and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated, and if the firstborn son is hers who was hated, 16 then it shall be, in the day that he causes his sons to inherit that which he has, that he may not give the son of the beloved the rights of the firstborn before the son of the hated, who is the firstborn; 17 but he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that he has; for he is the beginning of his strength. The right of the firstborn is his.

18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and though they chasten him, will not listen to them, 19 then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city and to the gate of his place. 20 They shall tell the elders of his city, "This our son is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey our voice. He is a glutton and a drunkard." 21 All the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall remove the evil from among you. All Israel shall hear, and fear.

22 If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree, 23 his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for he who is hanged is accursed of God. Don’t defile your land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance.

Kōhuru Kīhai i Mōhiotia nā Wai

1 E kitea te tangata i whakamatea ki te whenua i hōmai e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, hei kāinga mōu, e takoto ana i te pārae, ā, kāhore e mōhiotia nā wai i patu. 2 Nā, me puta mai ōu kaumātua me ōu kaiwhakawā, ka whanganga atu ki ngā pā i tētahi taha o te tūpāpaku, i tētahi taha. 3 Nā, ko te pā e tata ana ki te tūpāpaku, me tiki e ngā kaumātua o taua pā tētahi kūao kau, hei te uha, hei te mea kāhore anō i whakamahia, kāhore nei i tō ioka. 4 Me kawe anō hoki e ngā kaumātua o taua pā te kūao kau ki raro, ki tētahi awaawa wai, kāhore nei i ngakia, i whakatōkia rānei, ka whawhati ai i te kakī o te kau ki reira, ki te awaawa. 5 Nā, ka whakatata ngā tohunga, ngā tama a Rīwai; ko rātou hoki tā Ihowā, tā tōu Atua, i whiriwhiri ai hei minita ki a ia, hei manaaki anō hoki i runga i te ingoa o Ihowā; ā, mā rātou te kupu mō ngā tautohe katoa, mō ngā patu katoa. 6 Nā, me horoi e ngā kaumātua katoa o taua pā, e tata ana ki te tūpāpaku, ō rātou ringa ki runga ki te kūao kau i whatia nei te kakī ki te awaawa; 7 nā, ka kōrero rātou, ka mea: "Kīhai i whakahekea tēnei toto e ō mātou ringa, kīhai anō ō mātou kanohi i kite. 8 Kia mārie ki tōu iwi ki a Īharaira, e Ihowā, i hokona nei e koe, kaua anō hoki e whakairia he toto harakore ki runga ki tāu iwi, ki a Īharaira." Nā, ka whai whakamārie rātou mō aua toto. 9 Pēnei ka whakakorea te toto harakore i roto i a koe, ina mea koe i te mea e tika ana ki tā Ihowā titiro.

Ngā Wāhine Whakarau

10 Ka haere koe ki te whawhai ki ōu hoariri, ā, ka hōmai rātou e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki ōu ringa, ā, ka whakaraua rātou e koe hei whakarau; 11 ā, ka kite koe i tētahi wahine ātaahua i roto i ngā whakarau, ā, ka hiahia koe ki a ia, ka mea ki te tango i a ia hei wahine māu. 12 Nā, me kawe ia e koe ki tōu whare; ā, me heu e ia tōna mātenga, ka whakapai i ōna maikuku; 13 nā, me whakarere e ia te kākahu o tōna whakaraunga, ā, ka noho ki tōu whare, ka tangi ki tōna pāpā, ki tōna whaea, kia kotahi tino marama; ā muri iho ka haere atu koe ki a ia, ā, ka meinga hei tahu ki a ia, ko ia hoki hei wahine māu. 14 Ā, ki te kāhore koe e whakaahuareka ki a ia, me tuku atu ia e koe ki tāna wāhi e pai ai, kaua rawa e hokona ki te moni, kaua hoki e waiho hei mea pononga; he mea hoki kua whakaititia nei ia e koe.

Ngā Tikanga mō te Mātāmua

15 Ki te tokorua ngā wāhine a tētahi tangata, kotahi e arohaina ana, kotahi e kinongia ana, ā, kua whānau he tamariki māna i te mea e arohaina ana, i te mea hoki e kinongia ana; ā, nā te mea e kinongia ana te tama mātāmua. 16 Ā, ka tae ki te rā e whakarērea iho ai e ia āna mea mā āna tamariki, e kore e āhei kia meinga hei mātāmua te tama a te mea e arohaina ana, arā hei kauaemua mō te tino mātāmua, mō te tama a te wahine e kinongia ana. 17 Engari, me whakaae ia ki te tama a te mea e kinongia ana, ko ia te mātāmua, me hoatu ki a ia ngā wāhi e rua o āna mea katoa. Nō te mea ko ia te tīmatanga o tōna kaha; māna ngā tikanga o te mātāmua.

Ngā Tama Tutū

18 Ki te mea he whakakeke, he whakatoi, te tama a tētahi tangata, ā, kāhore e rongo ki te reo o tōna pāpā, ki te reo rānei o tōna whaea, ā, ahakoa ka whiua e rāua, kāhore e rongo ki a rāua, 19 nā, me mau tōna pāpā rāua ko tōna whaea ki a ia, ka kawe i a ia ki ngā kaumātua o tōna pā, ki te kūwaha o tōna wāhi. 20 Ā, ka mea ki ngā kaumātua o tōna pā, "Ko tēnei tama a māua he whakakeke, he whakatoi, ā, e kore e rongo ki ō māua reo; he tangata haututū, he poro haurangi." 21 Kātahi ngā tāngata katoa o tōna pā ka āki i a ia ki te kōhatu, kia mate; ā, ka whakakorea atu e koe te kino i roto i a koe, ā, ka rongo a Īharaira katoa, ka wehi.

He Ture Momo Kē

22 Ki te mea anō he hara tō te tangata e tika ai te mate mōna, ā, ka whakamatea, ā, ka tāronatia e koe ki runga ki te rākau; 23 kaua e waiho tōna tinana runga i te rākau i te pō, engari, me tino tanu i taua rangi anō; he mea kanga hoki nā te Atua te tangata i tāronatia; kei poke tōu oneone, e hoatu nei e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki a koe hei kāinga tupu.
