Leviticus 22
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
2 “Tell Aaron and his sons to greatly respect the sacred offerings that the Israeli people bring to me; by doing that you will respect me [MTY], Yahweh.
Korero ki a Arona ratou ko ana tama kia wehea ratou i nga mea tapu a nga tama a Iharaira, e whakatapua ana e ratou maku kei noa toku ingoa tapu: ko Ihowa ahau.
3 “Tell them that for all future time, if any of their descendants comes near to the sacred offerings that the Israeli people dedicate to me while he is unfit to work for me, that person will no longer be allowed to work for me. I, Yahweh, [am commanding this].
Mea atu ki a ratou, Ki te whakatata tetahi o o koutou uri katoa, puta noa i o koutou whakatupuranga, ki nga mea tapu e whakatapua ana e nga tama a Iharaira ma Ihowa, me te mau ano tona poke, ka hatepea atu taua wairua i toku aroaro: ko Ihowa ahau.
4 “If any descendant of Aaron has a contagious skin disease or a discharge from his sexual organs, he is not allowed to eat any of the sacred offerings until he is cured. He will also be unfit for his work if he touches anything which has become unacceptable to me because it has touched a corpse, or if he touches anyone who as an emission of semen,
Ki te mea he repera tetahi o nga uri o Arona, ki te mea ranei he rere tona; kei kainga e ia nga mea tapu; kia kore ra ano ona poke. Ki te pa hoki tetahi ki te mea i poke i te tupapaku, ki te tangata ranei kua paheke atu tona purapura moenga;
5 or if he touches anything that crawls on the ground, or if he touches any person who causes him to be unfit for his work.
Ki te pa ranei tetahi ki te mea ngoki, e poke ai ia, ki te tangata ranei e poke ai ia, ahakoa he aha ranei, he aha ranei, tona poke:
6 Any priest who touches such things must bathe, and he must not touch anyone else until that evening.
Ka poke a ahiahi noa te tangata i pa ki taua mea, kaua ano hoki ia e kai i nga mea tapu, ki te kahore i horoia e ia tona kikokiko ki te wai.
7 After the sun sets, he will be permitted to eat some of the sacred offerings that are for him to eat.
A, ka to te ra, ka kore ona poke; a muri iho, ka kai i nga mea tapu, no te mea ko tana kai tena:
8 He must not eat anything that is found dead or that has been killed by wild animals, because if he did that, he would be unfit to work for me. I, Yahweh [am commanding those things].
He mea mate maori, i haea ranei e te kirehe, kaua tena e kainga e ia, kei poke: ko Ihowa ahau.
9 “The priests must obey my commandments in order that they will not become guilty and die as a result of (despising/not obeying) them.
Ina, kia mau ratou ki taku i whakarite ai, kei whai hara, a ka mate ki te whakanoatia e ratou: ko Ihowa ahau te whakatapu nei i a ratou.
10 “Anyone who is not a member of a priest’s family is not permitted to eat any of a sacred offering, and no one who is visiting the priest or whom the priest has hired is permitted to eat it.
Kaua tetahi manene e kai i te mea tapu: kaua te tangata e noho ana ki te tohunga, te kaimahi ranei, e kai i te mea tapu.
11 But if a priest buys a slave, or if a slave is born in his house, that slave is permitted to eat such food.
Otiia ki te hokona tetahi tangata e te tohunga ki tana moni, e kai ano ia; me nga tangata ano i whanau ki tona whare, e kai ano ratou i tana kai.
12 If a priest’s daughter marries a man who is not a priest, she no longer is permitted to eat the sacred food.
He tamahine hoki na te tohunga kua riro i te tangata iwi ke, kaua ia e kai i te whakahere poipoi o nga mea tapu.
13 But if a priest’s daughter who has no children becomes a widow or becomes divorced, if she returns to her father’s house to live there like she did when she was young, she may eat the same food that her father eats. But no other person is permitted to eat any of it.
Otiia ki te mea he pouaru te tamahine a te tohunga, i whakarerea atu ranei, a kahore ana tamariki, kua hoki mai ano ki te whare o tona papa, kua pera me ia i tona taitamahinetanga, e kai ano ia i te kai a tona papa; kaua ia te tangata ke e kai.
14 “If anyone who is not permitted to eat a sacred offering eats it without realizing that it is sacred, he must pay the priest for the offering, and pay him an extra one-fifth of its value.
A ki te kai pohehe te tangata i te mea tapu, me tapiri e ia te whakarima o taua mea, a ka homai tahi me te mea tapu ki te tohunga.
15 When the priests bring offerings to me, the sacred offerings that the Israeli people bring to them, they must not treat those offerings as though they are not sacred
Kei whakanoatia e ratou nga mea tapu a nga tama a Iharaira, e whakaherea ana ma Ihowa;
16 by allowing those who are not priests to eat any of those offerings. If they did that, they would become guilty and must make a payment. I am Yahweh, the one who causes those offerings to be sacred.”
Kei meinga ratou kia whakawaha i te kino o te he, ina kai i a ratou mea tapu: ko Ihowa hoki ahau te whakatapu nei i a ratou.
17 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
18 “Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israeli people and tell them that I command this: ‘If any of you Israelis or foreigners who live in Israel brings to me an animal that will be completely burned [on the altar], either as a result of a solemn promise that you made to me or to be an offering that is given voluntarily,
Korero ki a Arona, ki ana tama, ki nga tama katoa ano a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, Ko te tangata o te whare o Iharaira, o nga manene ranei i roto i a Iharaira, e mea ana ki te tapae i tana whakahere, he ki taurangi, he mea tuku noa ranei nana, ta ratou e tapae ai ki a Ihowa hei tahunga tinana;
19 it must be an animal that has no defects, in order that it will be accepted by me.
Kia manakohia ai koutou, ko ta koutou e tapae ai hei te toa kohakore, no roto i nga kau, i nga hipi ranei, i nga koati ranei.
20 Do not bring any animals that have defects, because I will not accept them as an offering from you.
Kaua rawa ia e whakaherea tetahi mea he koha tona: no te mea e kore e manakohia hei mea ma koutou.
21 [Similarly], when someone brings from his cattle or sheep or goats an offering to maintain fellowship with me, either to fulfill a promise that he made to me or to be a voluntary offering, in order that I will accept it, it must have no defects [DOU] or blemishes.
Ki te whakaherea ano hoki e tetahi he patunga mo te pai ki a Ihowa, hei whakamana mo te ki taurangi, hei whakahere tuku noa ake ranei, he kau, he hipi ranei, hei te mea kohakore, kia manakohia ai: kei whai koha.
22 Do not offer to me animals that are blind or injured or maimed/crippled, or any animal that has warts or a festering sore [DOU].
He matapo, he whati, he kopa, kua whai puku, he papaka, he mea hakihaki ranei, kaua ena e whakaherea ma Ihowa, kaua ano e homai hei whakahere ahi ki runga ki te aata ma Ihowa.
23 You may present to me to be a voluntary offering an ox or a sheep that is injured or stunted, but it will not be accepted to fulfill a promise made to me.
He puru, he reme ranei, e hira ake ana, kua kore ranei tetahi wahi ona, e whakaherea ano tena e koe hei whakahere noa ake; otiia e kore e manakohia mo te ki taurangi.
24 You must not offer to me animals whose testicles are bruised or crushed or torn or cut. You must not injure the testicles of any animal in your land,
Kaua e whakaherea ma Ihowa te mea i romia, te mea ranei i kurua, i unuhia ranei, i pokaia ranei; kaua ano hoki e pena i to koutou whenua.
25 and you must not accept such animals that are sold/given to you by a foreigner. You must not offer them to me as a sacrifice for me. Such animals will not be accepted by me, because they are deformed or have defects.’”
Kaua ano hoki tetahi o enei e tapaea hei kai ma to koutou Atua, ina homai e te tangata iwi ke; he whakahe hoki kei roto, he koha kei roto: e kore enei e manakohia hei mea ma koutou.
26 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
27 “When a calf or lamb or goat is born, it must remain with its mother for seven days. After that, it will be acceptable as an offering to me that will be burned.
Ka whanau he kau, he hipi, he koati ranei, kia whitu nga ra e waiho, ai ki tona whaea; a i te waru o nga ra, i o muri iho hoki, ka manakohia hei whakahere ahi ma Ihowa.
28 Do not slaughter a cow or a sheep and its baby on the same day.
Otiia ahakoa he kau, he hipi ranei, kaua raua ko tana kuao e patua i te rangi kotahi.
29 “Then you sacrifice an animal to thank [me for what I have done], sacrifice it in a way that is acceptable to me.
Ka patua ano e koutou he patunga whakawhetai ki a Ihowa, hei te patunga e manakohia ai koutou.
30 The meat must be eaten on that day; do not leave any of it until the next morning. I, Yahweh, [am the one who am commanding this].
Me kai i taua rangi ano; kaua e waiho tetahi wahi ki te ata: ko Ihowa ahau.
31 “Obey all my commands [DOU]. I, Yahweh, [am commanding them];
Na, kia mau ki aku whakahau, mahia hoki; ko Ihowa ahau.
32 do not dishonor me [MTY] [by disobeying them]. You Israeli people must acknowledge that I, Yahweh, am holy, and I am the one who causes you to be holy.
Kaua ano e whakanoatia toku ingoa tapu; engari me whakatapu ahau i roto i nga tama a Iharaira: ko Ihowa ahau te whakatapu nei i a koutou,
33 And I am the one who brought you out of Egypt in order to show that that I, Yahweh, am [and will always be] your God.”
I whakaputa mai nei hoki i a koutou i te whenua o Ihipa, kia waiho ai hei Atua mo koutou: ko Ihowa ahau.
