22  E kite koe i te kau a tou teina, i tana hipi ranei, e atiutiu ke ana, kei ninihi atu koe i a raua: me ata whakahoki ano e koe ki tou teina.

A, ki te kahore tou teina e tata mai ana ki a koe, ki te kahore ranei kore e mohio ki a ia, na me kawe mai ki tou whare, a ki a koe noho ai, a rapu noa tou teina i a ia; katahi koe ka whakahoki atu ai ki a ia.

Me pena ano e koe ki tana kaihe; a me pena ano e koe ki tona kakahu; me pena ano hoki ki nga mea ngaro katoa a tou teina, ina ngaro i a ia, a e kitea e koe; e kore e ahei kia ninihi koe.

E kite koe i te kaihe a tou teina, i tana kau ranei, kua hinga i te ara, kei ninihi koe i a raua: me tino awhina koe i a ia ki te whakaara i a raua.

Kei kakahuria e te wahine tetahi mea o te tane, kei kakahuria hoki e te tane te kakahu o te wahine: he mea whakarihariha hoki ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, te hunga katoa e pena ana.

Ki te pono koe ki te ohanga manu i te ara, i runga i te rakau, i te whenua ranei, me nga pi ano, me nga hua ranei, me te katua e pehi ana i nga pi, i nga hua ranei, kei tangohia ngatahitia e koe te katua me nga pi:

Me tuku tonu atu e koe te katua, ka tango ai i nga pi mau; kia whiwhi ai koe ki te pai, kia roa ai ou ra.

Ki te hanga koe he whare hou, me hanga ano he taiepa mo tou tuanui, kei whai toto i a koe tou whare, ina taka te tangata i runga.

Kaua e whakauruurua nga purapura e whakatokia e koe ki tau mara waina; kei poke te hua o te purapura e whakatokia e koe, me nga hua o te mara waina.

10 Kaua e huihuia te kau ki te kaihe hei parau mau.

11 Kei kakahuria e koe te mea kakano whakauru, ara te huruhuru hipi i whakaurua nei ki te rinena.

12 Hanga etahi taniko mau mo nga tapa e wha o tou kakahu e kakahu ai koe.

13 Ki te tango te tangata i te wahine, a ka haere ki roto, ki a ia, a ka kino ki a ia,

14 A ka hahani ki a ia, ka whakakinokino i tona ingoa, a ka mea, I tango ahau i tenei wahine, a, i toku whakatatanga ki a ia, ka kite ahau ehara ia i te wahine:

15 Katahi te papa raua ko te whaea o te kotiro ka tiki, ka kawe i nga tohu o te wahinetanga o te kotiro ki nga kaumatua o te pa, ki te kuwaha:

16 A ka korero te papa o te kotiro ki nga kaumatua, I hoatu e ahau taku tamahine nei hei wahine ma tenei tangata, a e kinongia ana e ia:

17 Na, tenei ia te mea nei kia korerotia kinotia ia, e mea ana, Kihai ahau i kite tohu he wahine tau tamahine; na ko nga tohu enei o te wahinetanga o taku kotiro. Na me hora e raua te kakahu ki te aroaro o nga kaumatua o te pa.

18 Katahi ka mau nga kaumatua o taua pa ki taua tangata, ka whiu i a ia;

19 A me tango e ratou i taua tangata kia kotahi rau nga hekere hiriwa hei utu, ka hoatu ai ki te papa o te kotiro, mona hoki i whakairi i te ingoa kino ki runga ki tetahi o nga wahine i Iharaira: a hei wahine ia mana; e kore e ahei kia whakarerea e ia i nga ra katoa e ora ai ia.

20 Ki te mea ia he tika taua mea, kahore i kitea nga tohu o te wahinetanga o te kotiro:

21 Na me kawe mai e ratou te kotiro ki te kuwaha o te whare o tona papa, a me aki e nga tangata o tona pa ki te kohatu, kia mate: mo tana mahi poauau i roto i a Iharaira, mo tana kairautanga i roto i te whare o tona papa: a ka whakakorea e koe te k ino i roto i a koe.

22 Ki te mau tetahi tangata e takoto ana ki te wahine whai tahu, na me whakamate raua tokorua, te tane i takoto ki te wahine, me te wahine ano hoki; a ka whakakorea e koe te kino i roto i a Iharaira.

23 Mehemea tera tetahi kotiro, he wahine, i taumautia ma te tane, a ka tupono tetahi tangata ki a ia i te pa, a ka takotoria e ia;

24 Me kawe raua ki te kuwaha o tena pa, me aki ki te kohatu, kia mate; te kotiro, i te mea i roto ia i te pa kihai ia i karanga; te tangata, mona i whakaiti i te wahine a tona hoa: a ka whakakorea atu e koe te kino i roto i a koe.

25 Otiia ki te tupono te tangata, i te parea, ki tetahi kotiro kua oti te taumau, a ka hopukia atu ia e te tangata ra, ka takotoria hoki e ia: na ko taua tangata anake i takoto nei ki a ia e mate:

26 Kauaka ia e ahatia e koe te kotiro; kahore hoki o te kotiro hara e mate ai: e rite ana hoki tenei mea ki te whakatikanga ake o te tangata ki tona hoa, a kohurutia iho:

27 I tupono hoki te tane ki a ia i te parae; a i karanga te kotiro i taumautia nei, a kahore tetahi hei whakaora i a ia.

28 Ki te tupono tetahi tangata ki te kotiro, ki te wahine, kahore nei i taumautia, a ka hopu i a ia, ka takoto ki a ia, a ka kitea raua;

29 Na kia rima tekau nga hekere hiriwa e homai ki te papa o te kotiro e te tangata i takoto nei ki a ia, a ka waiho te wahine hei wahine mana, mona i whakaiti i a ia; e kore e ahei kia whakarerea e ia i nga ra katoa e ora ai ia.

30 E kore e ahei kia tangohia e te tangata te wahine a tona papa, kia hurahia hoki te remu o tona papa.

22 If you see your fellow Israelite’s ox or sheep straying, do not ignore it but be sure to take it back to its owner.(A) If they do not live near you or if you do not know who owns it, take it home with you and keep it until they come looking for it. Then give it back. Do the same if you find their donkey or cloak or anything else they have lost. Do not ignore it.

If you see your fellow Israelite’s donkey(B) or ox fallen on the road, do not ignore it. Help the owner get it to its feet.(C)

A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this.

If you come across a bird’s nest beside the road, either in a tree or on the ground, and the mother is sitting on the young or on the eggs, do not take the mother with the young.(D) You may take the young, but be sure to let the mother go,(E) so that it may go well with you and you may have a long life.(F)

When you build a new house, make a parapet around your roof so that you may not bring the guilt of bloodshed on your house if someone falls from the roof.(G)

Do not plant two kinds of seed in your vineyard;(H) if you do, not only the crops you plant but also the fruit of the vineyard will be defiled.[a]

10 Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.(I)

11 Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.(J)

12 Make tassels on the four corners of the cloak you wear.(K)

Marriage Violations

13 If a man takes a wife and, after sleeping with her(L), dislikes her 14 and slanders her and gives her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman, but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity,” 15 then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring to the town elders at the gate(M) proof that she was a virgin. 16 Her father will say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her. 17 Now he has slandered her and said, ‘I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.’ But here is the proof of my daughter’s virginity.” Then her parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town, 18 and the elders(N) shall take the man and punish him. 19 They shall fine him a hundred shekels[b] of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She shall continue to be his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.

20 If, however, the charge is true(O) and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing(P) in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house. You must purge the evil from among you.

22 If a man is found sleeping with another man’s wife, both the man who slept(Q) with her and the woman must die.(R) You must purge the evil from Israel.

23 If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her, 24 you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death—the young woman because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man’s wife. You must purge the evil from among you.(S)

25 But if out in the country a man happens to meet a young woman pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die. 26 Do nothing to the woman; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders a neighbor, 27 for the man found the young woman out in the country, and though the betrothed woman screamed,(T) there was no one to rescue her.

28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered,(U) 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels[c] of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.

30 A man is not to marry his father’s wife; he must not dishonor his father’s bed.[d](V)
