Exodus 23

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

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:

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

Kaua ano e whakanuia te rawakore, ina tohe ia.

Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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;

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:)

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
