1 Ki te tango te tangata i te wahine, ā, ka mārena i a ia, nā, ki te kore ia e manakohia e ia, nō te mea kua kitea e ia tētahi hē ōna, me tuhituhi e ia he pukapuka whakarere ki a ia, ka hoatu ki tōna ringa, ā, ka tono atu i a ia ki waho o tōna whare. 2 Ā, ka puta ia i tōna whare, ka āhei ia te haere ā, ka riro hei wahine mā tētahi atu. 3 Ā, ki te kino tō muri tahu ki a ia, ā, ka tuhituhia e ia he pukapuka whakarere ki a ia, ka hoatu hoki ki tōna ringa, ka tono atu anō hoki i a ia i roto i tōna whare (ki te mate rānei tō muri tahu i tango nei i a ia hei wahine māna); 4 e kore e āhei i te tahu tuatahi, nāna nei ia i tono atu, te tango anō i a ia hei wahine māna i muri i tōna whakapokenga; he mea whakarihariha hoki tēnā ki te aroaro o Ihowā. Kaua anō hoki e mea kia whai hara te whenua i hoatu nei e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, ki a koe hei kāinga tupu.

5 Ki te tango te tangata i te wahine hou, kaua ia e haere ki te whawhai, kaua anō hoki tētahi mahi e whakaritea māna. Me noho noa ia i tōna whare kia kotahi tau, whakahari ai i te ngākau o tāna wahine i tango ai.

6 Kaua e tangohia e te tangata tō raro kōhatu, tō runga kōhatu rānei o te mira, hei taunaha. He tango hoki tēnā i te oranga o te tangata hei taunaha.

7 Ki te mau tētahi tangata e tāhae ana i tētahi o ōna tēina o ngā tama a Īharaira, hei pononga māna, hei hoko rānei māna, me mate taua tāhae. Ā, ka whakakorea atu e koe te kino i roto i a koe.

8 Kia mahara, i ngā pānga mai o te repera, kia whakaritea mārietia, kia mahia ngā mea katoa e ako ai ngā tohunga, ngā Rīwaiti, ki a koutou; kia mahara kia mahia tāku i whakahau ai ki a rātou. 9 Maharatia tā Ihowā, tā tōu Atua, i mea ai ki a Miriama i te ara, i tō koutou haerenga mai i Īhipa.

10 Ki te whakatārewa atu koe i tētahi mea ki tōu hoa, kaua e haere ki roto ki tōna whare ki te tiki atu i tāna taunaha. 11 Me tū atu koe i waho, ā, mā te tangata i a ia nei tāu mea, e kawe mai te taunaha ki a koe ki waho. 12 Otiia, mehemea he rawakore taua tangata, kei moe koe me te takoto tahi mai tāna taunaha; 13 me tino whakahoki atu e koe te taunaha ki a ia ina toene te rā, kia moe ai ia i roto i tōna kākahu, ā, ka manaaki i a koe. Ā, ka waiho hei tika mōu ki te aroaro o Ihowā, o tōu Atua.

14 Kei tūkinotia e koe te kaimahi, he rawakore, he mate, ahakoa nō ōu tuākana, nō ōu tāngata iwi kē rānei i tōu whenua, i roto i ōu kūwaha. 15 Me hoatu e koe tōna utu i tōna rā, kei tō te rā me te takoto anō taua mea; he rawakore hoki ia, ā, e ōkaka ana tōna ngākau ki taua mea. Kei karanga ia ki a Ihowā mō tōu kino, ā, ka waiho hei hara mōu.

16 E kore e whakamatea ngā mātua mō te hē o ngā tamariki, e kore anō hoki e whakamatea ngā tamariki mō te hē o ngā mātua; mō tōna ake hara anō e whakamatea ai tēnā tangata, tēnā.

17 Kei whakapeaua kētia e koe te whakawā mō te manene, mō te pani rānei; kaua anō hoki e tangohia te kākahu o te pouaru hei taunaha. 18 Engari kia mahara he pononga koe i Īhipa, ā, nā Ihowā, nā tōu Atua, koe i whakaora mai i reira; koia ahau i whakahau ai i a koe ki te mea i tēnei mea.

19 Ka kotia e koe āu hua i tāu māra, ā, ka wareware tētahi paihere i te māra, kei hoki koe ki te tiki; waiho mā te manene, mā te pani, mā te pouaru; kia manaakitia ai koe e Ihowā, e tōu Atua, i ngā meatanga katoa a ōu ringa. 20 E tāia e koe tāu ōriwa, kaua e hoki anō ki ngā manga ketu ai; waiho mā te manene, mā te pani, mā te pouaru. 21 E whakia e koe ngā karepe o tāu māra wāina, kaua e hamua i muri i a koe; waiho mā te manene, mā te pani, mā te pouaru. 22 Me mahara anō hoki koe he pononga koe i te whenua o Īhipa; koia ahau i whakahau ai i a koe kia mea i tēnei mea.
