Leviticus 1
1 While Moses/I was [standing near the entrance] to the Sacred Tent, Yahweh called to him/me from inside the tent. He said to Moses/me,
Na ka karanga a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka korero ki a ia i roto i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ka mea,
2 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘When any of you brings an offering to Yahweh, bring one of your sheep or goats or cattle.
Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, Ki te kawea e tetahi tangata o koutou he whakahere ki a Ihowa, me kawe ta koutou whakahere i roto i nga kararehe, ara i roto i nga kau, i roto ranei i nga hipi.
3 ‘If what you are offering is a bull that will be completely burned [on the altar], it must not have any defects. You must take it to the entrance to the Sacred Tent, in order that it will be acceptable to Yahweh.
Ki te mea he tahunga tinana tana whakahere no nga kau, me tapae e ia he toa, he kohakore: ka tuku ai ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, hei mea e manakohia ai ia i te aroaro o Ihowa.
4 You must lay your hands on the head of the bull. When you do that, Yahweh will accept [its death in your place] to forgive/pardon you for the sins that you have committed.
A me popoki tona ringa ki te pane o te tahunga tinana; a ka manakohia tana, hei whakamarie mona.
5 You must slaughter the bull in front of Yahweh. Then Aaron’s sons, who are priests, will bring the blood and sprinkle it against all sides of the altar near the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
Na me patu te kau ki te aroaro o Ihowa: a me kawe te toto e nga tohunga, e nga tama a Arona, me tauhiuhi te toto ki te aata a tawhio noa, ki tera i te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.
6 You must remove the skin of the animal and cut the animal into pieces. You must wash the inner parts and the legs of the bull.
Na me tihore e ia te tahunga tinana, a me tapatapahi tenei wahi ona, tenei wahi ona.
7 Then Aaron’s sons will put wood on the altar and light a fire.
Na me maka he ahi e nga tama a Arona tohunga ki runga ki te aata, me whakapai hoki nga wahie ki runga ki te ahi:
8 Then they will arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood.
Na ka whakararangi ai nga tohunga, nga tama a Arona, i nga pihi, te pane me te ngako, ki nga wahie o te ahi i te aata.
9 Then one of the priests will completely burn all of it on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.
Ko ona whekau ia, me ona waewae, me horoi ki te wai, ka tahu katoa ai te tohunga ki runga ki te aata hei tahunga tinana, hei whakahere ahi, hei kakara reka ki a Ihowa.
10 ‘If you are offering a sheep or a goat, it must be a male without any defect.
Na, no te kahui tana whakahere no nga hipi, no nga koati ranei, hei tahunga tinana; me kawe e ia he toa, he mea kohakore,
11 You must slaughter it in front of Yahweh, on the north side of the altar, [and drain all the blood into a bowl]. Then Aaron’s sons will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.
Ka patu ai ki te taha ki te raki o te aata, ki te aroaro o Ihowa: a ma nga tohunga, ma nga tama a Arona, e tauhiuhi ona toto ki te aata a tawhio noa.
12 You must cut the animal into pieces. You must wash the inner parts and the legs of the animal. Then the priests will arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood.
Na ka tapatapahi ai ia he wahi, he wahi, tona pane, tona ngako; a ma te tohunga e whakararangi ki nga wahie o te ahi i runga i te aata:
13 Then one of the priests will take all of it and completely burn all of it on the altar. And the aroma as it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.
Ko nga whekau ia, me nga waewae, me horoi ki te wai: a ka kawe katoa ai te tohunga, ka tahu ai ki te aata: he tahunga tinana hoki, he whakahere ahi, he kakara reka ki a Ihowa.
14 ‘If what you are offering to Yahweh is a bird, you must offer a dove or a young pigeon.
Na, mehemea he tahunga tinana no nga manu tana whakahere ki a Ihowa, na me kawe e ia tana whakahere i roto i nga kukupa, i roto ranei i nga pi kukupa.
15 The priest will take it to the altar and wring/twist off its head. Then he will burn the head on the altar. He will drain out the bird’s blood onto the side of the altar.
A ma te tohunga e kawe ki te aata, e whakawiri atu tona pane, ka tahu ai ki runga ki te aata; a ko ona toto me tuku kia heke ki te taha o te aata:
16 Then he will remove the bird’s (craw/food-grinding pouch) and what is inside it, and throw it on the east side of the altar, where the ashes are thrown.
A ko tona puku me tona paru me tango, a ka maka ki te taha ki te rawhiti o te aata, ki te wahi o nga pungarehu:
17 Then he will grasp the bird’s wings and partially tear the bird open. Then he will burn it completely in the fire on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.’
Na me hahae e ia ma ona parirau, otiia kaua e motuhia rawatia; a ma te tohunga e tahu ki runga ki te aata, ki nga wahie o te ahi: he tahunga tinana tena, he whakahere ahi, he kakara reka ki a Ihowa.
