1Then the LORD said to Moses,
1Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
2“Speak to the whole congregation of Israel and tell them: Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.
2Lea ki he fakataha kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mo ke pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ke mou māʻoniʻoni; he ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ʻoku ou māʻoniʻoni.
3Each of you must respect his mother and father, and you must keep My Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God.
3¶ “Te mou fakaʻapaʻapa taki taha kotoa pē ʻae tangata ki heʻene faʻē, mo ʻene tamai, pea tauhi hoku ngaahi Sāpate: Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
4Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves molten gods. I am the LORD your God.
4¶ “ʻOua naʻa mou tafoki ki he ngaahi ʻotua loi, pea ʻoua naʻa mou ngaohi moʻomoutolu ʻae ngaahi ʻotua ʻi he ukamea haka : Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
5When you sacrifice a peace offering to the LORD, you shall offer it for your acceptance.
5¶ “Pea kapau ʻoku mou ʻatu ʻae feilaulau ko e ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei kia Sihova, te mou ʻatu ia ʻi homou loto lelei ki ai.
6It shall be eaten on the day you sacrifice it, or on the next day; but what remains on the third day must be burned up.
6ʻE kai ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku mou ʻatu ia, pea ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku na feholoʻi: pea kapau ʻoku ai hano toe ki hono ʻaho tolu, ʻe tutu ʻaki ia ʻae afi.
7If any of it is eaten on the third day, it is tainted and will not be accepted.
7Pea kapau ʻe momoʻi kai ia ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, ko e meʻa kovi ia; ʻe ʻikai maʻu ia.
8Whoever eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned what is holy to the LORD. That person must be cut off from his people.
8Ko ia, ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻoku kai ia ʻe ʻiate ia ʻene hia, koeʻuhi kuo fakahala ʻe ia ʻae meʻa tapu ʻa Sihova: pea ʻe motuhi ʻae tangata ko ia mei hono kakai.
9When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.
9¶ “Pea ka mou ka tuʻusi ʻae fua ʻo homou fonua, ʻoua naʻa ke tuʻusi ke ʻosi ʻae ngaahi tuliki ʻo hoʻo ngoue, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke tānaki ʻae ngaahi toenga tufi ʻo hoʻo ututaʻu.
10You must not strip your vineyard bare or gather its fallen grapes. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the LORD your God.
10Pea ʻoua naʻa ke tufi ʻae toenga ʻo hoʻo ngoue vaine, pea ʻoua naʻa ke tānaki ʻae kālepi kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo ngoue vaine; ka ke tuku ia ki he masiva mo e muli: Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
11You must not steal. You must not lie or deceive one another.
11¶ “ʻOua naʻa mou kaihaʻa, pe fai fakakākā, pe feloiʻaki ʻae taha ki he taha.
12You must not swear falsely by My name and so profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.
12¶ “Pea ʻoua naʻa mou fuakava loi ʻi hoku hingoa, pea ʻoua naʻa ke takuanoa ʻae huafa ʻo ho ʻOtua: Ko au ko Sihova.
13You must not defraud your neighbor or rob him. You must not withhold until morning the wages due a hired hand.
13¶ “ʻOua naʻa ke kākaaʻi ho kaungāʻapi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke kaihaʻa meiate ia: ko e totongi ngāue ʻo ia naʻa mo alea ki ai, ʻoua naʻa tuku ia ʻiate koe ʻi he pō ʻo ʻaho.
14You must not curse the deaf or place a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear your God. I am the LORD.
14¶ “ʻOua naʻa ke kapeʻi ʻae tuli, pe ʻai ʻae tūkiaʻanga ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kui, ka ke manavahē ki ho ʻOtua: Ko au ko Sihova.
15You must not pervert justice; you must not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the rich; you are to judge your neighbor fairly.
15¶ “ʻOua naʻa mou fai taʻetotonu ʻi he fakamaau: ʻoua naʻa ke tokanga koeʻuhi ko e mata ʻoe masiva, pe fakaʻapaʻapa koeʻuhi ko e mata ʻoe ʻeiki: ka te ke fakamaauʻi ho kaungāʻapi ʻi he angatonu.
16You must not go about spreading slander among your people. You must not endanger the life of your neighbor. I am the LORD.
16¶ “ʻOua naʻa ke feʻaluʻaki fano ke fetuku talanoa ʻi hoʻo kakai; pea ʻoua naʻa ke lea ke mate ai ho kaungāʻapi: Ko au ko Sihova.
17You must not harbor hatred against your brother in your heart. Directly rebuke your neighbor, so that you will not incur guilt on account of him.
17¶ “ʻOua naʻa ke fehiʻa ki ho tokoua ʻi ho loto: ko e moʻoni ke ke valokiʻi ho kaungāʻapi, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ai pe ʻene angahala.
18Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against any of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.
18¶ “ʻOua naʻa ke totongi kovi pe angafakamolokau ki he fānau ʻa ho kakai, ke ke ʻofa ki ho kaungāʻapi ʻo hangē pe ko koe: Ko au ko Sihova.
19You are to keep My statutes. You shall not crossbreed two different kinds of livestock; you shall not sow your fields with two kinds of seed; and you shall not wear clothing made of two kinds of material.
19Te mou tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau. ʻOua naʻa ke tuku hoʻo fanga manu ke tauʻi ʻe he faʻahinga manu kehe: ʻoua naʻa ke tūtuuʻi hoʻo ngoue ʻaki ʻae ngaahi tenga kuo felavai; pea ke ʻoua naʻa ke ʻai ha kofu ʻoku felalangaʻaki ʻae filo tupenu mo e fulufuluʻi sipi.
20If a man lies carnally with a slave girl promised to another man but who has not been redeemed or given her freedom, there must be due punishment. But they are not to be put to death, because she had not been freed.
20¶ “Pea ko ia ʻe mohe angahala mo e fefine ʻoku pōpula, kuo poloʻi ki ha mali, pea ʻoku teʻeki ai huhuʻi, pe tauʻatāina ia; ʻe haha ia; ʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ʻakinaua, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ʻataʻatā ia.
21The man, however, must bring a ram to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting as his guilt offering to the LORD.
21Pea ke ʻomi ʻe he tangata ʻene feilaulau fai hala kia Sihova, ki he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ʻio, ko e sipitangata ki he feilaulau maʻae fai hala.
22The priest shall make atonement on his behalf before the LORD with the ram of the guilt offering for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven the sin he has committed.
22Pea ke fai ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae fakalelei maʻana ʻaki ʻae sipitangata ʻoe feilaulau maʻae fai hala ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi heʻene angahala ʻaia kuo ne fai: pea ʻe fakamolemole kiate ia ʻae angahala kuo ne fai.
23When you enter the land and plant any kind of tree for food, you shall regard the fruit as forbidden. For three years it will be forbidden to you and must not be eaten.
23¶ “Pea ka mou ka hoko atu ki he fonua pea mou tō ai ʻae ngaahi ʻakau kehekehe ki he kai, te mou lau hono ngaahi fua ko e meʻa tapu; ko e taʻu ʻe tolu ʻe tapu ia kiate kimoutolu; ʻoua naʻa kai ia.
24In the fourth year all its fruit must be consecrated as a praise offering to the LORD.
24Ka ʻi hono fā ʻoe taʻu ko e ngaahi fua kotoa pē ʻo ia ko e meʻa māʻoniʻoni ia ke fakafetaʻi ʻaki kia Sihova.
25But in the fifth year you may eat its fruit; thus your harvest will be increased. I am the LORD your God.
25Pea ʻi hono nima ʻoe taʻu te mou kai hono ngaahi fua, koeʻuhi ke tupu ʻo fua lahi hake kiate kimoutolu: Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
26You must not eat anything with blood still in it. You must not practice divination or sorcery.
26¶ “ʻOua naʻa mou kai ha meʻa ʻe taha mo hono toto: pea ʻoua naʻa mou fai tuki, pe fai ʻae talotalo kovi.
27You must not cut off the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.
27ʻOua naʻa mou kosi ke fuopotopoto homou louʻulu, pe maumauʻi hono potu tuliki ʻo hoʻomou kava.
28You must not make any cuts in your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.

33When a foreigner resides with you in your land, you must not oppress him.

34You must treat the foreigner living among you as native-born and love him as yourself, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
34Ka ko e muli ʻoku nofo mo koe ʻe tatau ia mo e tokotaha kuo tupu ʻiate kimoutolu, pea te ke ʻofa kiate ia ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻofa kiate koe; he naʻa mou nofo ko e muli ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite; Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
35You must not use dishonest measures of length, weight, or volume.
35¶ “ʻOua naʻa mou fai taʻetotonu ʻi he fakamaau, pe ʻi he meʻa fuofua pe ʻi he fakamamafa, pe ʻi he fakafuofua meʻa.
36You shall maintain honest scales and weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
36Te mou fua ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakatatau totonu, mo e fakamamafa totonu mo e efa totonu, mo e hini totonu: Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
37You must keep all My statutes and all My ordinances and follow them. I am the LORD.”
37Ko ia te mou tokanga ai ki heʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau, ʻo fai ki ai. Ko au ko Sihova.
