Numbers 19
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron. He said,
I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, i mea,
2 “This is a statute, a law which I am commanding you: Say to the people of Israel that they must bring to you a red heifer without flaw or blemish, and which has never carried a yoke.
Ko te tikanga tenei o te ture i whakahaua e Ihowa; i mea ia, Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira kia tikina he kuao kau uha, he mea whero mau, hei te mea kahore he nawe, kahore he koa, a kahore ano hoki i utaina ki te ioka:
3 Give the heifer to Eleazar the priest. He must bring it outside the camp, and someone must kill it in front of him.
Me hoatu e koutou ki a Ereatara, tohunga, mana ia e kawe ki waho o te puni, me patu hoki e tetahi ki tona aroaro:
4 Eleazar the priest must take some of its blood with his finger and sprinkle it seven times toward the front of the tent of meeting.
Na ka tango a Ereatara, tohunga, i tetahi wahi o ona toto ki tona maihao, kia whitu ana tauhiuhinga i ona toto ki te roro tonu o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga:
5 Another priest must burn the heifer in his sight. He must burn its hide, flesh, and its blood with its dung.
Na ma tetahi e tahu te kau i tana tirohanga atu: ko tona hiako, me ona kiko, me ona toto, me tahu tahi me tona paru:
6 The priest must take cedarwood, hyssop, and scarlet wool, and throw it all into the middle of the burning heifer.
Na ka mau te tohunga ki te rakau hita, ki te hihopa, ki te mea ngangana, a ka maka e ia ki waenganui o te tahunga o te kau.
7 Then he must wash his clothes and bathe in water. Then he may come into the camp, where he will remain unclean until the evening.
Katahi ka horoi te tohunga i ona kakahu, ka horoi ano hoki i tona kiri ki te wai, a muri iho ka haere ki te puni, ka poke hoki te tohunga a ahiahi noa.
8 The one who has burned the heifer must wash his clothes in water and bathe in water. He will remain unclean until the evening.
Me te kaitahu ano, me horoi ona kakahu ki te wai, me horoi ano tona kiri ki te wai, ka poke hoki ia a ahiahi noa.
9 Someone who is clean must gather up the heifer's ashes and put them outside the camp in a clean place. These ashes must be kept for the community of the people of Israel. They will mix the ashes with water for purification from sin, since the ashes were from a sin offering.
A me amene nga pungarehu o te kau e tetahi tangata pokekore, a ka waiho i waho o te puni, i te wahi pokekore, ka tiaki ai mo te whakaminenga o nga tama a Iharaira hei wai wehenga; hei horohoro tena mo te hara.
10 The one who gathered the heifer's ashes must wash his clothes. He will remain unclean until the evening. This will be a permanent law for the people of Israel and the foreigners who stay with them.
Me horoi ano hoki ona kakahu e te kaiamene i nga pungarehu o te kau, ka poke hoki ia a ahiahi noa: me waiho ano tena hei tikanga tuturu ma nga tama a Iharaira, ma te manene hoki e noho manene ana i roto i a ratou.
11 Whoever touches the dead body of any man will be unclean for seven days.
Ki te pa tetahi ki te tinana mate o tetahi tangata, ka poke ia, e whitu nga ra.
12 Such a person must purify himself on the third day and on the seventh day. Then he will be clean. But if he does not purify himself the third day, then he will not be clean on the seventh day.
Me pure ia e ia ki taua wai i te toru o nga ra, a i te whitu o nga ra ka kore ona poke: otiia ki te kore ia e pure i a ia i te toru o nga ra, e kore ia e pokekore i te whitu o nga ra.
13 Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and does not purify himself—this person defiles Yahweh's tabernacle. That person must be cut off from Israel because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him. He will remain unclean; his uncleanness will remain on him.
Ki te pa tetahi ki te tinana mate o tetahi tangata kua mate, a kahore e pure i a ia, e whakapokea ana e ia te tapenakara o Ihowa; ka hatepea taua wairua i roto i a Iharaira; no te mea kihai i tauhiuhia ki a ia te wai wehenga, ka poke ano ia; e m au ana ano ki a ia tona poke.
14 This is the law for when someone dies in a tent. Everyone who goes into the tent and everyone who is already in the tent will be unclean for seven days.
Ko te ture tenei ina mate te tangata i roto i te teneti: ko nga tangata katoa e tomo ana ki te teneti, me nga tangata katoa i roto i te teneti, ka poke kia whitu nga ra.
15 Every open container with no cover becomes unclean.
Ko nga oko katoa ano e puare kau ana, kahore nei i herea te taupoki, ka poke.
16 Similarly, anyone outside a tent who touches someone who has been killed with a sword, any other dead body, a human bone, or a grave—that person will be unclean for seven days.
Ki te pa hoki tetahi ki te tangata i patua ki te hoari ki waenga parae, ki te tupapaku ranei, ki te whenua tangata ranei, ki te urupa ranei, ka poke ia kia whitu nga ra.
17 Do this for the unclean person: Take some ashes from the burnt sin offering and mix them in a jar with fresh water.
Na, mo te tangata poke, me tiki e ratou etahi o nga pungarehu o te kau i tahunga hei horohoronga mo nga hara, ka riringi ai ki te wai ora, ki roto ano ki te oko:
18 Someone who is clean must then take hyssop, dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, on all the containers inside the tent, on the persons who were there, and on anyone who touched the bone, the one who was killed, the one who died, or the grave.
Na ka mau tetahi tangata pokekore ki te hihopa, ka tuku ki te wai, na ka tauhiuhi i te teneti me nga oko katoa, i nga tangata ano hoki o reira, me te tangata i pa atu nei ki te whenua, ki te tangata ranei i patua, ki te tupapaku ranei, ki te uru pa ranei:
19 On the third day and on the seventh day, the clean person must sprinkle the unclean person. On the seventh day the unclean person must purify himself. He must wash his clothes and bathe in water. At evening he will become clean.
Me tauhuihui ano hoki e te tangata pokekore te tangata poke i te toru o nga ra, i te whitu hoki o nga ra; a me pure ia e ia ano i te whitu o nga ra, ka horoi ai i ona kakahu, ka horoi ano hoki i a ia ki te wai, a i te ahiahi ka kore te poke.
20 But anyone who remains unclean, who refuses to purify himself—that person will be cut off from the community, because he has defiled Yahweh's sanctuary. The water for impurity has not been sprinkled on him; he remains unclean.
A ki te poke tetahi tangata, a kahore e pure i a ia, ka hatepea atu taua wairua i roto i te huihui, mona i whakapoke i te wahi tapu o Ihowa: kihai te wai o te wehenga i tauhiuhia ki a ia; he poke.
21 This will be an ongoing law concerning these situations. The one who sprinkles the water for impurity must wash his clothes. The one who touches the water for impurity will become unclean until evening.
A hei tikanga tuturu tenei ma ratou, me horoi ona kakahu e te kaitauhiuhi o te wai wehenga; ka poke ano a ahiahi noa te tangata e pa ana ki te wai wehenga.
22 Whatever the unclean person touches will become unclean. The person who touches it will become unclean until evening.”
Ko poke ano nga mea katoa e pa ai te tangata poke; ka poke ano a ahiahi noa te wairua e pa ana.
