2Ki te hoki koe i tetahi pononga Hiperu, e ono nga tau e mahi i a ia: a i te whitu ka haere noa atu, kaua he utu. 3Ki te mea he takakau ia i tona haerenga mai, me haere atu ano he takakau: ki te mea he wahine tana, ko raua ko tana wahine e haere. 4Ki te mea na tona ariki te wahine i hoatu ki a ia, a ka whanau a raua tama, tamahine ranei; ma tona ariki te wahine ratou ko ana tamariki, ko ia anake e haere. 5A ki te mea matanui te pononga, E aroha ana ahau ki toku ariki, ki taku wahine, ki aku tamariki; e kore ahau e haere noa atu: 6Na, me kawe ia e tona ariki ki te Atua; me kawe hoki ia e ia ki te tatau, ki te pou ranei o te tatau: a ka pokaia tona taringa e tona ariki ki te oka; a ka oti iho ia hei kaimahi mana.

7Ki te hokona atu hoki e tetahi tangata tana tamahine hei pononga, e kore e rite tona haerenga ki waho ki te haerenga o nga pononga tane. 8Ki te kino ia ki te titiro a tona ariki, i taumau nei i a ia mana, na, me whakahoki ia mo tetahi utu: e kore e ahei te hoko i a ia ki tetahi iwi ke; mona hoki i tinihanga ki a ia. 9A ki te taumautia ia e ia ma tana tama, kia rite ki te tikanga ki nga tamahine tupu tana e mea ai ki a ia. 10Ki te tango ia i tetahi atu wahine mana kaua e whakaititia e ia te kai ma tera, te kakahu mona, me ta raua moe tahi. 11A ki te kahore enei mea e toru e meatia e ia ki a ia, na, me haere noa atu ia, kaua he moni.

12Ki te patu tetahi i te tangata kia mate, me tino whakamate ano ia. 13A ki te kahore tetahi e whanga atu, a ka mea te Atua kia tupono ki tona ringa; na, maku e whakarite ki a koe te wahi e rere ai ia. 14Tena ko tenei i poka noa te tangata ki tona hoa, ki te kohuru tinihanga i a ia; me tango ia e koe i taku aata, kia mate ai ia.

15Me tino whakamate ano hoki te tangata e patu ana i tona papa, i tona whaea ranei.

16Ko te tangata hoki e tahae ana i tetahi tangata, a hokona ana e ia, e kitea ana ranei ki tona ringa, me tino whakamate ano ia.

17Me tino whakamate ano hoki te tangata e kanga ana i tona papa, i tona whaea ranei.

18Ki te whawhai hoki etahi tangata ki a raua a ka akina tona hoa e tetahi ki te kohatu, ka motokia ranei, a kahore ia e mate, engari ka takoto i runga i te moenga; 19Ki te ara ake ia, a ka haereere ki waho me te toko i tana tokotoko, katahi ka kore te hara o te tangata i patua ai ia; otiia me utu e ia tona whakamangeretanga ki te mahi, me mea hoki kia ata rongoatia kia ora ai.

20Ki te patu hoki te tangata i tana pononga tane, i tana pononga wahine ranei, ki te rakau, a ka mate i raro iho i tona ringa; me ata takitaki tona matenga. 21Otiia ki te ora ia, kotahi, e rua ranei, nga ra, e kore e takitakina: no te mea ko tana moni ia.

22Ki te whawhai etahi tangata ki a ratou, a ka whara tetahi wahine e hapu ana, a ka materoto tana tamaiti, otiia kahore atu he he, me tango he utu i a ia, ara ta te tahu o te wahine e whakarite ai ki a ia; hei ta nga kaiwhakawa e mea ai tana e hom ai ai. 23Engari ki te mate, na, me homai e koe he mate hei utu mo te mate, 24He kanohi mo te kanohi, he niho mo te niho, he ringa mo te ringa, he waewae mo te waewae, 25He wera mo te wera, he motu mo te motu, he karawarawa mo te karawarawa.

26Ki te patua e te tangata te kanohi o tana pononga tane, te kanohi ranei o tana pononga wahine, a ka matapotia; me tuku kia haere noa atu, hei utu mo tona kanohi. 27A ki te patua e ia kia marere te niho o tana pononga tane, te niho ranei o tana pononga wahine; me tuku kia haere noa atu, hei utu mo tona niho.

28Ki te werohia tetahi tangata, tetahi wahine ranei, e te kau, a ka mate; me tino aki te kau ki te kohatu, kaua ano hoki ona kikokiko e kainga; a ka tukua noatia atu te rangatira o te kau. 29Otiia ki te mea he kau wero ia no mua, a kua whakaaturia ki tona rangatira, a kahore ia e tiaki i a ia, a ka mate i a ia tetahi tangata, tetahi wahine ranei; me aki te kau ki te kohatu, me whakamate ano hoki tona rangatira. 30Ki te whakaritea kia homai e ia he moni, me homai e ia hei utu mo tona ora te mea i whakaritea ki a ia. 31Ki te mea he tama, he kotiro ranei i werohia e ia, kia rite ano ki tenei tikanga te meatanga ki a ia. 32Ki te wero te kau i tetahi pononga tane, i tetahi pononga wahine ranei; kia toru tekau nga hekere hiriwa e homai ki to raua ariki, me aki hoki te kau ki te kohatu.

33Ki te whakatuwhera hoki te tangata i tetahi poka, ki te keria ranei e te tangata tetahi poka, a e kore e hipokina e ia, a ka taka he kau, he kaihe ranei ki roto; 34Me utu e te tangata nana te poka, me homai he moni e ia ki to raua ariki; a mana te mea mate.

35Ki te tukia te kau a tetahi tangata e te kau e tetahi, a ka mate; na, me hoko e raua te kau ora, ka wehe ai i ona tutu; me wehe ano hoki e raua te mea kua mate. 36Otiia ki te mea i mohiotia he kau wero ia no mua, a kahore i tiakina e tona ariki, me utu e ia te kau ki te kau; a mana te mea mate.
