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

“You shall not circulate a false report. Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

2 K ei 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:

You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after many to pervert justice.

3 K aua ano e whakanuia te rawakore, ina tohe ia.

You shall not show partiality to a poor man in his dispute.

4 K i 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 you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.

5 K i 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 you see the donkey of one who hates you lying under its burden, and you would refrain from helping it, you shall surely help him with it.

6 K ei whakapeaua ketia e koe te whakawa mo tou tangata rawakore, ina tohe ia.

“You shall not pervert the judgment of your poor in his dispute.

7 K ia 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 yourself far from a false matter; do not kill the innocent and righteous. For I will not justify the wicked.

8 K aua 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 you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the discerning and perverts the words of the righteous.

9 K aua 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 you shall not oppress a stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger, because you were strangers in the land of Egypt. The Law of Sabbaths

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

“Six years you shall sow your land and gather in its produce,

11 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 you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave, the beasts of the field may eat. In like manner you shall do with your vineyard and your olive grove.

12 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 you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female servant and the stranger may be refreshed.

13 K ia 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 that I have said to you, be circumspect and make no mention of the name of other gods, nor let it be heard from your mouth. Three Annual Feasts

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

“Three times you shall keep a feast to Me in the year:

15 K ia 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;

You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month of Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt; none shall appear before Me empty);

16 K i 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 your labors which you have sown in the field; and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you have gathered in the fruit of your labors from the field.

17 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 your males shall appear before the Lord God.

18 K aua 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.

“You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread; nor shall the fat of My sacrifice remain until morning.

19 M e 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 your land you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk. The Angel and the Promises

20 N ana, 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 you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.

21 K ia 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; do not provoke Him, for He will not pardon your transgressions; for My name is in Him.

22 K i 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 you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.

23 K a 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 My Angel will go before you and bring you in to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites and the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will cut them off.

24 K ei 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.

You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their works; but you shall utterly overthrow them and completely break down their sacred pillars.

25 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.

“So you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you.

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

No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.

27 K a 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 you, I will cause confusion among all the people to whom you come, and will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.

28 K a 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 you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before you.

29 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 you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.

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

Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land.

31 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 your bounds from the Red Sea to the sea, Philistia, and from the desert to the River. For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.

32 K aua e whakarite kawenata ki a ratou, ki o ratou atua ranei.

You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

33 K aua 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 your land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
