Kōhuru Kīhai i Mōhiotia nā Wai
1 E kitea te tangata i whakamatea ki te whenua i hōmai e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, hei kāinga mōu, e takoto ana i te pārae, ā, kāhore e mōhiotia nā wai i patu. 2 Nā, me puta mai ōu kaumātua me ōu kaiwhakawā, ka whanganga atu ki ngā pā i tētahi taha o te tūpāpaku, i tētahi taha. 3 Nā, ko te pā e tata ana ki te tūpāpaku, me tiki e ngā kaumātua o taua pā tētahi kūao kau, hei te uha, hei te mea kāhore anō i whakamahia, kāhore nei i tō ioka. 4 Me kawe anō hoki e ngā kaumātua o taua pā te kūao kau ki raro, ki tētahi awaawa wai, kāhore nei i ngakia, i whakatōkia rānei, ka whawhati ai i te kakī o te kau ki reira, ki te awaawa. 5 Nā, ka whakatata ngā tohunga, ngā tama a Rīwai; ko rātou hoki tā Ihowā, tā tōu Atua, i whiriwhiri ai hei minita ki a ia, hei manaaki anō hoki i runga i te ingoa o Ihowā; ā, mā rātou te kupu mō ngā tautohe katoa, mō ngā patu katoa. 6 Nā, me horoi e ngā kaumātua katoa o taua pā, e tata ana ki te tūpāpaku, ō rātou ringa ki runga ki te kūao kau i whatia nei te kakī ki te awaawa; 7 nā, ka kōrero rātou, ka mea: “Kīhai i whakahekea tēnei toto e ō mātou ringa, kīhai anō ō mātou kanohi i kite. 8 Kia mārie ki tōu iwi ki a Īharaira, e Ihowā, i hokona nei e koe, kaua anō hoki e whakairia he toto harakore ki runga ki tāu iwi, ki a Īharaira.” Nā, ka whai whakamārie rātou mō aua toto. 9 Pēnei ka whakakorea te toto harakore i roto i a koe, ina mea koe i te mea e tika ana ki tā Ihowā titiro.
Ngā Wāhine Whakarau
10 Ka haere koe ki te whawhai ki ōu hoariri, ā, ka hōmai rātou e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki ōu ringa, ā, ka whakaraua rātou e koe hei whakarau; 11 ā, ka kite koe i tētahi wahine ātaahua i roto i ngā whakarau, ā, ka hiahia koe ki a ia, ka mea ki te tango i a ia hei wahine māu. 12 Nā, me kawe ia e koe ki tōu whare; ā, me heu e ia tōna mātenga, ka whakapai i ōna maikuku; 13 nā, me whakarere e ia te kākahu o tōna whakaraunga, ā, ka noho ki tōu whare, ka tangi ki tōna pāpā, ki tōna whaea, kia kotahi tino marama; ā muri iho ka haere atu koe ki a ia, ā, ka meinga hei tahu ki a ia, ko ia hoki hei wahine māu. 14 Ā, ki te kāhore koe e whakaahuareka ki a ia, me tuku atu ia e koe ki tāna wāhi e pai ai, kaua rawa e hokona ki te moni, kaua hoki e waiho hei mea pononga; he mea hoki kua whakaititia nei ia e koe.
Ngā Tikanga mō te Mātāmua
15 Ki te tokorua ngā wāhine a tētahi tangata, kotahi e arohaina ana, kotahi e kinongia ana, ā, kua whānau he tamariki māna i te mea e arohaina ana, i te mea hoki e kinongia ana; ā, nā te mea e kinongia ana te tama mātāmua. 16 Ā, ka tae ki te rā e whakarērea iho ai e ia āna mea mā āna tamariki, e kore e āhei kia meinga hei mātāmua te tama a te mea e arohaina ana, arā hei kauaemua mō te tino mātāmua, mō te tama a te wahine e kinongia ana. 17 Engari, me whakaae ia ki te tama a te mea e kinongia ana, ko ia te mātāmua, me hoatu ki a ia ngā wāhi e rua o āna mea katoa. Nō te mea ko ia te tīmatanga o tōna kaha; māna ngā tikanga o te mātāmua.
Ngā Tama Tutū
18 Ki te mea he whakakeke, he whakatoi, te tama a tētahi tangata, ā, kāhore e rongo ki te reo o tōna pāpā, ki te reo rānei o tōna whaea, ā, ahakoa ka whiua e rāua, kāhore e rongo ki a rāua, 19 nā, me mau tōna pāpā rāua ko tōna whaea ki a ia, ka kawe i a ia ki ngā kaumātua o tōna pā, ki te kūwaha o tōna wāhi. 20 Ā, ka mea ki ngā kaumātua o tōna pā, “Ko tēnei tama a māua he whakakeke, he whakatoi, ā, e kore e rongo ki ō māua reo; he tangata haututū, he poro haurangi.” 21 Kātahi ngā tāngata katoa o tōna pā ka āki i a ia ki te kōhatu, kia mate; ā, ka whakakorea atu e koe te kino i roto i a koe, ā, ka rongo a Īharaira katoa, ka wehi.
He Ture Momo Kē
22 Ki te mea anō he hara tō te tangata e tika ai te mate mōna, ā, ka whakamatea, ā, ka tāronatia e koe ki runga ki te rākau; 23 kaua e waiho tōna tinana runga i te rākau i te pō, engari, me tino tanu i taua rangi anō; he mea kanga hoki nā te Atua te tangata i tāronatia; kei poke tōu oneone, e hoatu nei e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki a koe hei kāinga tupu.
