Leviticus 17
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
2 “Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the other Israeli people, and say this to them: ‘This is what Yahweh has commanded:
Korero ki a Arona, ki ana tama, ki nga tama katoa a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, Ko te mea tenei i whakahau ai a Ihowa, i mea ai,
3 If you sacrifice an ox or a lamb or a goat, you must bring it [to the priest] at the entrance of the Sacred Tent [area], to present/offer it to me there.
Ki te patua e tetahi tangata o te whare o Iharaira he kau, he reme, he koati ranei, i roto i te puni, ki te patua ranei e ia ki waho o te puni,
4 If you slaughter it to be a sacrifice anywhere else in the camp or outside the camp, you will be guilty of killing an animal [in an unacceptable place]. As a result you will no longer be allowed to be/associate with my people.
A e kore e kawea ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, kia whakaherea he whakahere ki a Ihowa ki mua i te tapenakara o Ihowa; ka whakairia he toto ki taua tangata; kua whakaheke toto ia; a ka hatepea atu taua tangata i roto i tona iw i:
5 That rule is in order that you Israeli people, instead of offering sacrifices in the open fields, will offer them to me by taking them to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent [area], to be offerings to maintain fellowship [with me].
He mea kia kawea ai e nga tama a Iharaira a ratou patunga e whakaherea ana e ratou i te mata o te parae, kia kawea ai hoki ki a Ihowa, ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakatoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ki te tohunga, ka patu ai hei whakahere mo te pai ki a Ihowa.
6 [After the animal is slaughtered], the priest must sprinkle some of its blood against the altar at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and burn its fat to be an aroma that is pleasing to me.
A ka tauhiuhia te toto e te tohunga ki te aata a Ihowa i te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me tahu ano e ia te ngako hei kakara reka ki a Ihowa.
7 You people must no longer give sacrifices to the demons that resemble goats which you are worshiping. You people must obey this command forever.’
A ka mutu a ratou patunga tapu ki nga rewera i whaia nei e ratou, puremu atu ai. Hei tikanga pumau tenei ki a ratou i o ratou whakatupuranga.
8 “And tell this to the people: ‘If any Israeli or any foreigner who is living among them brings an offering that is to be completely burned [on the altar], or any other sacrifice,
Me ki atu ano ki a ratou, Ki te whakaherea e tetahi tangata o te whare o Iharaira, o nga manene ranei i roto i a koutou, tetahi tahunga tinana, patunga tapu ranei,
9 and does not bring it to the entrance of the Sacred Tent [area] to be a sacrifice to me, that person will no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
A e kore e kawea ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, whakahere ai ki a Ihowa; ina, ka hatepea atu taua tangata i roto i tona iwi.
10 ‘I will reject [IDM] any Israeli or any foreigner who is living among you who eats any blood, and I [will command that he] no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
Ki te kainga hoki tetahi toto e tetahi tangata o te whare o Iharaira, o nga manene ranei i roto i a koutou; ka u atu toku mata ki taua wairua i kainga ai te toto, a ka hatepea atu e ahau i roto i tona iwi.
11 That is because the life of every creature is in its blood; I have declared that it is blood that is to be offered on the altar to enable people to be forgiven for their sins.
Kei roto hoki i te toto te oranga o te kikokiko; kua hoatu ano e ahau ki a koutou mo runga i te aata, hei whakamarie mo o koutou wairua: ko te toto hoki, na tona ora, te mea hei whakamarie.
12 That is why I say that you Israelis must not eat blood, and the foreigners who live among you must also not eat blood.
Koia ahau i mea ai ki nga tama a Iharaira, Kaua tetahi o koutou e kai toto, kaua ano hoki te manene i roto i a koutou e kai toto.
13 ‘Any Israeli or any foreigner who is living among you who hunts any animal or bird that is permitted for you to eat, must drain out the blood [of the animal or bird that he kills], and cover the blood with dirt.
Ki te whai hoki tetahi o nga tama a Iharaira, o nga manene ranei i roto i a koutou, a ka mau tetahi kirehe, tetahi manu ranei e tika ana kia kainga: me riringi ona toto, ka tanu ai ki te puehu.
14 This is because the life of every creature is in its blood. And that is why I have said [DOU] to you Israelis that anyone who eats blood must no longer [be allowed to associate with my people].
No te mea ko te toto o te kikokiko e kotahi katoa ana me te ora o te kikokiko: koia ahau i mea ai ki nga tama a Iharaira, Kaua rawa e kainga te toto o tetahi kikokiko: ko te toto hoki te ora o nga kikokiko katoa: ki te kainga e tetahi, ka hatepe a atu.
15 ‘Anyone in Israel, including foreigners, who eats any of the meat of any creature that is found dead, or that had been killed by wild animals, must wash his clothes and bathe. Then he must not touch anyone until that evening.
Ki te kainga hoki e tetahi te mea i mate maori, te mea ranei i haea e te kirehe, ahakoa tangata whenua, iwi ke ranei, me horoi ona kakahu, me ia ano me horoi ki te wai, ka poke hoki a ahiahi noa: katahi ka kore te poke.
16 If he does not do those things, he will be punished for what he did.’”
A ki te kahore e horoia e ia, ki te kahore hoki e horoia tona tinana, na ka waha e ia tona kino.
