He Whiunga mō te Whakanoa o te Tapu
1 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea: 2 “Me kōrero anō koe ki ngā tama a Īharaira: Ahakoa nō ngā tama a Īharaira, nō te manene rānei e noho ana i a Īharaira, te tangata i hoatu e ia tōna uri ki a Moreke, inā, me whakamate ia; me āki e ngā tāngata whenua ki te kōhatu. 3 Ka ū atu anō hoki tōku mata ki taua tangata, ā, ka hātepea atu e ahau i roto i tōna iwi; mōna i hoatu i tōna uri ki a Moreke, whakapoke ai i tōku wāhi tapu, whakanoa ai hoki i tōku ingoa tapu. 4 Ā, ki te hunā e ngā tāngata whenua ō rātou kanohi, kei kite i taua tangata, ina hoatu e ia tōna uri ki a Moreke, ā, e kore e whakamate i a ia; 5 ko reira ū atu ai tōku mata ki taua tangata, ki ōna whanaunga hoki, ā, ka hātepea atu e ahau i roto i tō rātou iwi, a ia, me ngā tāngata katoa e whai ana i a ia, pūremu atu ai, pūremu ai ki a Moreke.
6 “Ki te tahuri anō tētahi wairua ki ngā waka atua, ki ngā mata māori, whai atu ai, pūremu atu ai ki a rātou, ka ū atu anō tōku mata ki taua wairua, ā, ka hātepea atu i roto i tōna iwi.
7 “Engari whakatapua koutou, kia tapu anō hoki; ko Ihowā hoki ahau, ko tō koutou Atua. 8 Ā, kia mau ki āku tikanga, me mahi anō hoki; ko Ihowā ahau e whakatapu nei i a koutou.
9 “Ki te kangā hoki e tētahi tōna pāpā, tōna whaea rānei, me whakamate rawa; kua kanga e ia tōna pāpā, whaea rānei; ko runga anō i a ia ōna toto.
10 “Ā, ki te pūremu tētahi ki te wahine a te tangata, me whakamate rawa te kaipūremu ki te wahine a tōna hoa, te kaipūremu rāua ko te wahine i pūremutia.
11 “Me te tangata hoki i takoto ki te wahine a tōna pāpā, kua hurahia e ia tōna pāpā kia takoto tahanga; me whakamate rāua tokorua, ko runga i a rāua ō rāua toto.
12 “Ki te takoto hoki te tangata ki tāna hunaonga wahine, me whakamate rawa rāua tokorua; he mahi anuanu tā rāua; ko runga i a rāua ō rāua toto.
13 “Ki te takoto hoki he tāngata ki a rāua whakatāne ki te pērā me te takoto ki te wahine, he mahi whakarihariha tā rāua, me whakamate rawa rāua; ko runga i a rāua ō rāua toto.
14 “Ki te tango hoki te tangata i te wahine rāua ko tōna whaea, he mea kino tēnā. Me tahu rātou ki te ahi, te tāne me ngā wāhine; kei whai kino koutou i roto i a koutou.
15 “Ki te takoto hoki te tangata ki te kararehe, me whakamate rawa ia; me whakamate anō hoki te kararehe.
16 “Ki te whakatata hoki te wahine ki tētahi kararehe, ā, ka takoto ki a ia, me whakamate e koe te wahine rāua ko te kararehe; me whakamate rawa rāua, ko runga i a rāua ō rāua toto.
17 “Ki te tango hoki te tangata i tōna tuahine, i te tamāhine a tōna pāpā, i te tamāhine rānei a tōna whaea, ā, ka kite i a ia e takoto tahanga ana, ā, ka kite anō te wahine i a ia e takoto tahanga ana. He mea kino tēnā; ā, ka hātepea atu rāua i te tirohanga a ngā tamariki o tō rāua iwi. Nāna hoki i hura tōna tuahine kia takoto tahanga; ka waha e ia tōna kino.
18 “Ki te takoto hoki te tangata ki te wahine i a ia e paheke ana, ā, ka hura i a ia kia takoto tahanga; kua takoto kau i a ia tōna puna, kua whakaaturia anō e te wahine te puna o ōna toto; ā, ka hātepea atu rāua i roto i tō rāua iwi.
19 “Kaua anō e hurahia kia takoto tahanga te teina, tuakana rānei, o tōu whaea, te tuahine rānei o tōu pāpā. E hurahia ana hoki e ia tōna whanaunga tupu; ka waha e rāua tō rāua kino.
20 “Ki te takoto hoki he tangata ki te wahine a tōna matua kēkē, kua hurahia e ia kia takoto tahanga tōna matua kēkē. Ka waha e rāua tō rāua hara; ka mate urikore rāua.
21 “Ki te tango hoki te tangata i te wahine a tōna tuakana, teina rānei, he mea poke tēnā. Kua hurahia e ia tōna tuakana, teina rānei, kia takoto tahanga; e kore rāua e whai tamariki.
22 “Engari kia mau ki āku tikanga katoa me āku whakaritenga katoa, me mahi anō hoki; kei whakaruakina koutou e te whenua ka kawea nei koutou e ahau ki reira noho ai. 23 Kaua anō e haere i runga i ngā ritenga o te iwi ka peia nei e ahau i tō koutou aroaro; nā rātou hoki ēnei mahi katoa, koia i whakarihariha ai ahau ki a rātou, 24 i mea ai hoki ki a koutou: Ka riro tō rātou whenua i a koutou, ka hoatu hoki e ahau ki a koutou hei kāinga pūmau, he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiū, e te honi. Ko Ihowā ahau, ko tō koutou Atua, i wehe mai nei i a koutou i roto i ngā iwi.
25 “Mō reira me wehe kē e koutou ngā kararehe pokekore me ngā mea poke, ngā manu hoki, ngā mea poke me ngā mea pokekore kei ai hei take whakarihariha mō ō koutou wairua tētahi kararehe, manu rānei, tētahi mea rānei e ngahue ana i te whenua, o ngā mea i wehea atu e ahau i a koutou hei mea poke. 26 Ā, ka tapu koutou ki ahau; nō te mea he tapu ahau, a Ihowā, ā, kua wehea mai koutou e ahau i roto i ngā iwi, kia waiho māku.
27 “Me whakamate rawa anō hoki te tangata, te wahine rānei, he atua māori tōna; me te mata māori hoki. Me āki rāua ki te kōhatu; ko runga i a rāua ō rāua toto.”
