Levítico 19

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘You shall be holy; for I, Yahweh your God, am holy.

3 "‘Each one of you shall respect his mother and his father. You shall keep my Sabbaths. I am Yahweh your God.

4 "‘Don’t turn to idols, nor make molten gods for yourselves. I am Yahweh your God.

5 "‘When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted. 6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day. If anything remains until the third day, it shall be burned with fire. 7 If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It will not be accepted; 8 but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of Yahweh, and that soul shall be cut off from his people.

9 "‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. 10 You shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am Yahweh your God.

11 "‘You shall not steal.

"‘You shall not lie.

"‘You shall not deceive one another.

12 "‘You shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of your God. I am Yahweh.

13 "‘You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him.

"‘The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning.

14 "‘You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind; but you shall fear your God. I am Yahweh.

15 "‘You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favoritism to the great; but you shall judge your neighbor in righteousness.

16 "‘You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people.

"‘You shall not endanger the life*19:16 literally, "blood" of your neighbor. I am Yahweh.

17 "‘You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.

18 "‘You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people; but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am Yahweh.

19 "‘You shall keep my statutes.

"‘You shall not cross-breed different kinds of animals.

"‘You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed;

"‘Don’t wear a garment made of two kinds of material.

20 "‘If a man lies carnally with a woman who is a slave girl, pledged to be married to another man, and not ransomed or given her freedom; they shall be punished. They shall not be put to death, because she was not free. 21 He shall bring his trespass offering to Yahweh, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, even a ram for a trespass offering. 22 The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before Yahweh for his sin which he has committed; and the sin which he has committed shall be forgiven him.

23 "‘When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as forbidden.*19:23 literally, "uncircumcised" For three years it shall be forbidden to you. It shall not be eaten. 24 But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, for giving praise to Yahweh. 25 In the fifth year you shall eat its fruit, that it may yield its increase to you. I am Yahweh your God.

26 "‘You shall not eat any meat with the blood still in it. You shall not use enchantments, nor practice sorcery.

27 "‘You shall not cut the hair on the sides of your head or clip off the edge of your beard.

28 "‘You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you. I am Yahweh.

29 "‘Don’t profane your daughter, to make her a prostitute; lest the land fall to prostitution, and the land become full of wickedness.

30 "‘You shall keep my Sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary; I am Yahweh.

31 "‘Don’t turn to those who are mediums, nor to the wizards. Don’t seek them out, to be defiled by them. I am Yahweh your God.

32 "‘You shall rise up before the gray head and honor the face of the elderly; and you shall fear your God. I am Yahweh.

33 "‘If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. 34 The stranger who lives as a foreigner with you shall be to you as the native-born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you lived as foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.

35 "‘You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of quantity. 36 You shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah,*19:36 1 ephah is about 22 liters or about 2/3 of a bushel and a just hin.*19:36 A hin is about 6.5 liters or 1.7 gallons. I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

37 "‘You shall observe all my statutes and all my ordinances, and do them. I am Yahweh.’"

He Ture mō te Tapu me te Tika

1 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea, 2 "Kōrero ki te whakaminenga katoa o ngā tama a Īharaira, mea atu ki a rātou: Kia tapu koutou; he tapu hoki ahau, a Ihowā, tō koutou Atua.

3 "Me wehi tērā, tērā, ki tōna whaea, ki tōna pāpā, kia mau hoki ki āku hāpati: ko Ihowā ahau, ko tō koutou Atua.

4 "Kei tahuri ki te whakapakoko, kei whakarewaina he atua mā koutou. Ko Ihowā ahau, ko tō koutou Atua.

5 "Ki te whakaherea anō he patunga mō te pai ki a Ihowā, hei te patunga e manakohia ai koutou. 6 Me kai i te rangi anō i whakaherea ai, i te aonga ake anō hoki; ā, ki te toe tētahi wāhi ki te toru o ngā rā, me tahu ki te ahi. 7 Ki te kainga hoki tētahi wāhi i te toru o ngā rā, ka whakariharihangia; e kore e manakohia. 8 Ā, ka waha ō rātou hara e ngā tāngata katoa i kainga ai, nō te mea kua whakanoatia te mea tapu a Ihowā; ā, ka hātepea atu taua tangata i roto i tōna iwi.

9 "Ina kotia e koutou ngā hua o tō koutou whenua, kaua e kotia rawatia ngā kokonga o tāu māra, kaua anō hoki e hamua ngā toenga o āu hua. 10 Kaua hoki e hamua tāu māra wāina, kaua anō e kohia ngā karepe taka o tāu māra wāina; me waiho mā te rawakore, mā te tangata iwi kē. Ko Ihowā ahau, ko tō koutou Atua.

11 "Kaua e tāhae; kaua hoki e teka, kaua anō e tinihanga tētahi ki tētahi. 12 Kei oatitia tekatia hoki tōku ingoa, kaua anō hoki e whakanoatia te ingoa o tōu Atua. Ko Ihowā ahau.

13 "Kaua e tūkinotia tōu hoa; kaua hoki e pāhuatia.

"Kaua ngā utu o te kaimahi e takoto tonu ki a koe i te pō, ā tae noa ki te ata.

14 "Kaua e kangā te turi, kaua anō e makā he whakatūtuki ki te aroaro o te matapō; engari me wehi ki tōu Atua. Ko Ihowā ahau.

15 "Kei whakahaere hē ina whakawā; kaua e whakaaro ki te kanohi o te rawakore, kaua hoki e whakahōnoretia te kanohi o te nui; me whakawā koe mō tōu hoa i runga i te tika.

16 "Kaua e kōpikopiko i roto i tōu iwi kawekawe kōrero ai; kaua anō hoki e tū kia whakahekea te toto o tōu hoa. Ko Ihowā ahau.

17 "Kei kino koe ki tōu teina i roto i tōu ngākau; rīria mārietia tōu hoa, kaua e waiho he hara i runga i a ia.

18 "Kaua e rapu utu, kaua hoki e mauāhara ki ngā tamariki a tōu iwi; engari arohaina tōu hoa ānō ko koe. Ko Ihowā ahau.

19 "Kia mau ki āku tikanga. Kaua e whakatupuria he uri mō āu kararehe ki tērā atu tū kararehe. Kaua e whakauruurua ngā purapura e whakatōngia e koe ki tāu māra. Kaua anō hoki e meatia ki a koe he kākahu ko tētahi wāhi he rīnena, ko tētahi he huruhuru.

20 "Ki te takoto pūremu hoki tētahi ki te wahine pononga kua oti te taumau mā te tāne, ki te mea kīhai i utua, i whakahokia, kīhai anō hoki i tukua kia haere noa atu; ka whiua rāua. E kore rāua e whakamatea, nō te mea kīhai ia i tukua kia haere noa atu. 21 Ā, me kawe e te tāne tāna whakahere mō te hē ki a Ihowā, ki te whatitoka o te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, he hipi toa hei whakahere mō te hē. 22 Ā, ka whakamārie te tohunga mōna ki te hipi toa, ki te whakahere mō te hē, ki te aroaro o Ihowā, mō tōna hara i hara ai; ā, ka murua tōna hara i hara ai.

23 "E tae hoki koutou ki te whenua, ā, ka whakatōngia e koutou ngā rākau kai katoa; me waiho ngā hua hei mea kokotikore. Kia toru ngā tau e waiho ai e koutou hei mea kokotikore; e kore e kainga. 24 I te whā ia o ngā tau ka tapu ngā hua katoa o reira, hei whakamoemiti ki a Ihowā. 25 Engari i te rima o ngā tau me kai e koutou ngā hua o reira, ā, ka maha ake ōna hua mā koutou. Ko Ihowā ahau, ko tō koutou Atua.

26 "Kaua e kainga tototia tētahi mea. Kaua anō hoki e rapu tikanga i ngā tohu, i ngā kapua.

27 "Kaua e whakaporotakatia ngā taha o ō koutou māhunga, kaua anō hoki e whakaahuatia kinotia ngā taha o tōu pāhau. 28 Kaua e haea ō koutou kikokiko mō te tūpāpaku, kaua anō hoki e tāia he tohu ki a koutou. Ko Ihowā ahau.

29 "Kaua e whakanoatia tāu tamāhine, e meinga hei wahine kairau; kei riro te whenua i te kairau, ā, ka kī te whenua i te kino.

30 "Kia mau ki āku hāpati, kia hopohopo hoki ki tōku wāhi tapu. Ko Ihowā ahau.

31 "Kaua e whakaaro atu ki ngā waka atua, kaua anō hoki e whai atu ki ngā mata māori, whakapokea ai e rātou. Ko Ihowā ahau, ko tō koutou Atua.

32 "Me whakatika ake koe i te aroaro o te mātenga hina, me whakahōnore hoki te mata o te koroheke, me wehi anō hoki ki tōu Atua. Ko Ihowā ahau.

33 "Ki te noho hoki te tangata iwi kē ki a koe, ki tōu whenua, kaua koutou e mahi i te kino ki a ia. 34 Ki tā koutou kia rite ki tētahi o ō koutou tangata whenua te manene e noho ana i a koutou, arohaina ia ānō ko koe; he manene hoki koutou i mua, i te whenua o Īhipa. Ko Ihowā ahau, ko tō koutou Atua.

35 "Kei hē tā koutou whakahaere ina whakawā, i te rūri rānei, i te pāuna taimaha rānei, i te mēhua rānei. 36 Kia tika ā koutou pāuna, kia tika ngā whakataimaha, kia tika te epa, kia tika hoki te hine. Ko Ihowā ahau, ko tō koutou Atua, i kawe mai nei i a koutou i te whenua o Īhipa.

37 "Mō reira kia mau ki āku tikanga katoa, me āku whakaritenga katoa, mahia anō hoki. Ko Ihowā ahau."
