Exodus 23

Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

Kei puaki i a koe te korero tito noa: kei totoro tahi tou ringa me te tangata kino, kei meinga hei kaiwhakaatu teka.

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:

Kei whai tahi me te tokomaha ki te kino; kaua ano hoki e hamumu i te totohenga, hei mea kia riro ai i ta te tokomaha, hei whakapeau ke i te tika:

Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.

Kaua ano e whakanuia te rawakore, ina tohe ia.

If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.

Ki te tutaki koe ki te kau a tou hoariri, ki tana kaihe ranei, e atiti noa ana, me ata whakahoki e koe ki a ia.

If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.

Ki te kite koe i te kaihe a tou hoariri e takoto ana i raro i tana pikaunga, a ka ngakaukore koe ki te whakaara, me ata whakaara tahi e korua.

Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.

Kei whakapeaua ketia e koe te whakawa mo tou tangata rawakore, ina tohe ia.

Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

Kia matara koe i te teka; kaua ano e whakamatea te tangata harakore raua ko te tangata tika: e kore hoki ahau e whakatika i ta te tangata hara.

And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

Kaua ano e tango i te utu whakapati: he mea whakamatapo hoki te utu whakapati i te kanohi kite, he mea whakaparori ke hoki i nga kupu a te hunga tika.

Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Kaua ano e tukinotia te manene; e mohio ana hoki koutou ki te ngakau o te manene; he manene hoki koutou i mua, i te whenua o Ihipa.

And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:

Kia ono hoki nga tau e rui ai koe i tou oneone, e kohikohi ai hoki i ona hua:

But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.

I te whitu ia me waiho kia takoto kau ana, kia pariri, a ka kai nga tangata rawakore o tou iwi; a ma nga kirehe o te parae a ratou toenga e kai. Kia pena ano koe ki tau mara waina, ki tau mara oriwa.

Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.

E ono nga ra e mahi ai koe i au mahi, a i te whitu ka okioki: kia okioki ai tau kau, me tau kaihe, kia whai taanga manawa ai hoki te tama a tau pononga wahine me te manene.

And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.

Kia tupato ano ki nga mea katoa kua korerotia nei e ahau ki a koutou: kaua hoki e whakahuatia te ingoa o nga atua ke, kei rangona hoki ki tou mangai.

Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.

E toru nga wa o te tau e tuku hakari ai koe ki ahau.

Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)

Kia mau ki te hakari o te taro rewenakore: e whitu nga ra e kai ai koe i te taro rewenakore, e pera ai me taku i whakahau ai ki a koe, i te wa ano i whakaritea o te marama, o Apipi; no reira hoki koe i haere mai ai i Ihipa: kaua ano hoki tetahi e puta kau mai ki toku aroaro;

And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

Ki te hakari o te kotinga, o te matamua o au mahi, i ruia e koe ki te mara: ki te hakari o te kohikohinga i te mutunga o te tau, ina oti te kohikohi mai e koe au mahi i te mara.

Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.

E toru nga wa o te tau e kitea ai ou tane katoa ki te aroaro o te Ariki, o Ihowa.

Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.

Kaua e whakaherea tahitia me te taro rewena te toto o taku patunga tapu; kei toe ano hoki ki te ata te ngako o taku hakari.

The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

Me kawe e koe ki te whare o Ihowa, o tou Atua nga mea mataati o nga matamua o tou oneone. Kaua e kohuatia te kuao koati ki te waiu o tona whaea.

Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

Nana, ka tonoa nei e ahau he anahera ki mua i a koe, hei tiaki i a koe i te ara, hei kawe hoki i a koe ki te wahi i whakaritea e ahau.

Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

Kia tupato ki a ia, whakarongo hoki ki tona reo, kaua e whakapataritari ki a ia; no te mea e kore ia e whakarere noa iho i to koutou hara: kei a ia nei hoki toku ingoa.

But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

Ki te ata whakarongo i a koe ki tona reo, ki te mea hoki i nga mea katoa e korero ai ahau; na, ko ahau hei hoariri mo ou hoariri, hei hoa whawhai hoki ki ou hoa whawhai.

For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.

Ka haere hoki taku anahera ki mua i a koe, hei kawe i a koe ki nga Amori, ki nga Hiti, ki nga Perihi, ki nga Kanaani, ki nga Hiwi, ki nga Iepuhi: a ka huna ratou e ahau.

Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.

Kei koropiko koe ki o ratou atua, kei mahi hoki ki a ratou, kei rite hoki au mahi ki a ratou mahi: engari me turaki rawa e koe, me wawahi rawa ano hoki a ratou whakapakoko.

And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

A me mahi koutou ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, a ka manaakitia e ia tau taro, me tou wai; ka whakakorea atu ano hoki e ahau te mate i roto i a koe.

There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

E kore tetahi mea e whanau whakatahe, e pakoko ranei, i tou whenua: ka ata tutuki ano i ahau te maha o ou ra.

I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.

Ka tukua atu e ahau taku wehi ki mua i a koe, a ka whakamatea nga iwi katoa e haere atu nei koe ki a ratou, ka meinga ano hoki e ahau kia tahuri nga tuara o ou hoariri katoa ki a koe.

And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

Ka unga ano e ahau te horonete ki mua i a koe, mana e pei nga Hiwi, nga Kanaani, me nga Hiti i tou aroaro.

I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.

E kore ratou e peia e ahau i tou aroaro i te tau kotahi; kei ururuatia te whenua, a ka nui rawa i a koe te kirehe o te parae.

By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

Ka peia rikirikitia atu ratou e ahau i tou aroaro, kia hua ra ano koe, kia riro ra ano hoki te whenua i a koe.

And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

A ka whakatakotoria e ahau tou rohe ki te Moana Whero a tae noa ki te Moana o nga Pirihitini, ki te koraha hoki a tae noa ki te awa: ka tukua atu nei hoki e ahau ki o koutou ringa nga tangata o te whenua, a ka peia ratou e koe i tou aroaro.

Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

Kaua e whakarite kawenata ki a ratou, ki o ratou atua ranei.

They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.

Kaua ratou e noho ki tou whenua, kei mea ratou i a koe kia hara ki ahau: ta te mea, ki te mahi koe ki o ratou atua, ka ai tena hei rore mou.
