16  Kia mahara ki te marama, ki a Apipi, ka mahi i te kapenga ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua: ko Apipi hoki te marama i whakaputaina mai ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, i Ihipa i te po.

Na me patu e koe te kapenga ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, o te kahui hipi, o te kahui kau, ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa kia waiho tona ingoa ki reira.

Kaua e kainga tahitia te paraoa rewena me taua mea; kia whitu nga ra e kai ai koe i te taro rewenakore me taua mea, ara i te taro tangihanga; i haere potatutatu mai hoki koe i te whenua o Ihipa: kia mahara ai koe ki te ra i puta mai ai koe i te w henua o Ihipa i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe.

A kia whitu nga ra e kore ai e kitea he rewena ki a koe i ou rohe katoa; kaua hoki e whakatoea mo te ata tetahi wahi o te kikokiko e patua e koe i te ahiahi o te ra tuatahi.

E kore e ahei kia patua te kapenga i roto i tetahi o ou tatau, e homai ana e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe:

Engari hei te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, kia waiho tona ingoa ki reira, hei reira koe patu ai i te kapenga i te ahiahi, i te toenetanga o te ra, i te wa ano i puta mai ai koe i Ihipa.

Na me tunu e koe, me kai hoki ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, tou Atua: a i te ata ka tahuri, ka haere ki ou teneti.

E ono nga ra e kai ai koe i te taro rawenakore: a i te ra whitu ko te huihui nui ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua: kaua tetahi mahi e mahia i taua ra.

Taua e koe, kia whitu nga wiki: kei tau tukunga mataati i te toronaihi ki te kotinga koe timata mai ai te tatau i nga wiki e whitu.

10 Na me mahi te hakari o nga wiki ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, ki tetahi tahua, he mea hoatu noa na tou ringa; kia rite tau e hoatu ai ki te manaaki a Ihowa, a tou Atua, i a koe:

11 Na ka koa koe ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, a koe, koutou tahi ko tau tama, ko tau tamahine, me tau pononga tane, me tau pononga wahine, me te Riwaiti i roto i ou tatau, me te manene, me te pani, me te pouaru i roto i a koe, ki te wahi i whi riwhiria e Ihowa, e tou Atua, kia waiho tona ingoa ki reira.

12 A kia mahara koe he pononga koe i Ihipa i mua: me pupuri hoki, me mahi enei tikanga.

13 Me mahi te hakari whare wharau, kia whitu nga ra, ua poto i a koe te kohikohi mai i tau patunga witi me tau poka waina:

14 A ka koa koe ki tau hakari, a koe, koutou tahi ko tau tama, ko tau tamahine, ko tau pononga tane, ko tau pononga wahine, me te Riwaiti, te manene, te pani me te pouaru i roto i ou tatau.

15 Kia whitu nga ra o tau hakari ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa: ka manaaki hoki a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe i au hua katoa, i nga mahi katoa hoki a ou ringa, a ka tino harakoa koe.

16 E toru nga wa o te tau e kitea ai ou tane katoa ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai ia: ko te hakari taro rewenakore, ko te hakari o nga wiki, ko te hakari whare wharau: kaua hoki e puta kau ki te aroaro o Ihowa:

17 Me homai e ia tangata te mea e taea e ia, kia rite ki te manaaki i homai e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe.

18 Whakaturia etahi kaiwhakawa, me etahi rangatira mou i ou kuwaha katoa, e homai ana e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe, mo ou iwi: kia tika hoki ta ratou whakawa mo te iwi.

19 Kaua e whakapeaua ketia te whakawa; kaua hoki e whakapai kanohi; kaua ano e tango i te utu whakapati: he mea whakamatapo hoki te utu whakapati i nga kanohi o te hunga whakaaro nui, he mea whakapeau ke i nga kupu a te hunga tika.

20 Ko te mea tika anake tau e whai ai, kia ora ai koe, kia noho ai hoki ki te whenua e homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe.

21 Kaua e whakatokia e koe he Ahera o tehea momo rakau ki te taha o te aata a Ihowa, a tou Atua, e hanga e koe.

22 Kaua ano hoki e whakaturia ake tetahi pou whakapakoko mau: e kinongia nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua.

The Passover(A)

16 Observe the month of Aviv(B) and celebrate the Passover(C) of the Lord your God, because in the month of Aviv he brought you out of Egypt by night. Sacrifice as the Passover to the Lord your God an animal from your flock or herd at the place the Lord will choose as a dwelling for his Name.(D) Do not eat it with bread made with yeast, but for seven days eat unleavened bread, the bread of affliction,(E) because you left Egypt in haste(F)—so that all the days of your life you may remember the time of your departure from Egypt.(G) Let no yeast be found in your possession in all your land for seven days. Do not let any of the meat you sacrifice on the evening(H) of the first day remain until morning.(I)

You must not sacrifice the Passover in any town the Lord your God gives you except in the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name. There you must sacrifice the Passover in the evening, when the sun goes down, on the anniversary[a](J) of your departure from Egypt. Roast(K) it and eat it at the place the Lord your God will choose. Then in the morning return to your tents. For six days eat unleavened bread and on the seventh day hold an assembly(L) to the Lord your God and do no work.(M)

The Festival of Weeks(N)

Count off seven weeks(O) from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain.(P) 10 Then celebrate the Festival of Weeks to the Lord your God by giving a freewill offering in proportion to the blessings the Lord your God has given you. 11 And rejoice(Q) before the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name(R)—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, the Levites(S) in your towns, and the foreigners,(T) the fatherless and the widows living among you.(U) 12 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt,(V) and follow carefully these decrees.

The Festival of Tabernacles(W)

13 Celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles for seven days after you have gathered the produce of your threshing floor(X) and your winepress.(Y) 14 Be joyful(Z) at your festival—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites, the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns. 15 For seven days celebrate the festival to the Lord your God at the place the Lord will choose. For the Lord your God will bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy(AA) will be complete.

16 Three times a year all your men must appear(AB) before the Lord your God at the place he will choose: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread,(AC) the Festival of Weeks and the Festival of Tabernacles.(AD) No one should appear before the Lord empty-handed:(AE) 17 Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way the Lord your God has blessed you.

Judges

18 Appoint judges(AF) and officials for each of your tribes in every town the Lord your God is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly.(AG) 19 Do not pervert justice(AH) or show partiality.(AI) Do not accept a bribe,(AJ) for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent. 20 Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God is giving you.

Worshiping Other Gods

21 Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole(AK) beside the altar you build to the Lord your God,(AL) 22 and do not erect a sacred stone,(AM) for these the Lord your God hates.
