Ekoruhe 29

1 A ko tenei tau e mea ai ki a ratou. ina whakatapu i a ratou hei tohunga maku: Tikina he puru, hei te kuao, me nga hipi toa e rua, hei te mea kohakore,

“This is what you must do to dedicate Aaron and his sons to serve me [by being] priests: Select one young bull and two rams that do not have any defects.

2 He taro rewenakore, he keke rewenakore, i konatunatua ki te hinu, he mea angiangi ano hoki, he rewenakore, i pania ki te hinu: he mea hanga e koe ki te paraoa witi.

Bake three [kinds of bread] using finely-ground wheat flour, but without yeast: Bake some loaves that do not have any olive oil in them, bake some loaves that have olive oil in the dough, and bake some thin wafers that will be smeared with olive oil [after they are baked].

3 Na, ka maka ki te kete kotahi, a ka kawea i roto i te kete, me te puru me nga hipi toa e rua.

Put them in a basket and offer them [to me] when you sacrifice the young bull and the two rams.

4 Na ka kawe i a Arona ratou ko ana tama, ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ka horoi i a ratou ki te wai.

Take Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and wash them [ritually].

5 Na ka mau koe ki nga kakahu, a ka whakakakahu i a Arona ki te koti, ki te koroka o te epora, ki te epora, ki te kouma, ka whitiki hoki i a ia ki te whitiki whakairo o te epora:

Then put the special clothes on Aaron—the long-sleeved tunic/gown, the robe that will be worn underneath the sacred apron, the sacred apron, the sacred pouch, and the sash/waistband.

6 A ka potae i tona matenga ki te potae tohunga, ka whakanoho ano i te karauna tapu ki runga ki te potae.

Place the turban on his head, and fasten to the turban the ornament that has the words ‘Dedicated to Yahweh’ engraved on it.

7 Na ka mau ki te hinu whakawahi, ka riringi ki runga ki tona matenga, ka whakawahi i a ia.

Then take the oil and pour some on his head to (dedicate him/set him apart).

8 A ka kawe koe i ana tama, ka whakakakahu hoki i a ratou ki nga koti.

Then bring his sons and put the long-sleeved tunics/gowns on them.

9 Me whitiki ano ratou e koe, a Arona ratou ko ana tama, ka potae ano hoki i nga potae ki a ratou: a ma ratou te mahi tohunga; kia pumau tonu ano hoki tenei tikanga: na ka whakatohunga koe i a Arona ratou ko ana tama.

Put the sashes/waistbands around their waists and the caps on their heads. That is the ritual by which you are to (dedicate them/set them apart) to be priests. Aaron and his male descendants must serve me [by being] priests forever.

10 Na ka mea kia kawea tetahi puru ki mua o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga: a ka popoki iho nga ringa o Arona ratou ko ana tama ki runga ki te pane o te puru.

“Then bring the young bull to the entrance of the Sacred Tent. Tell Aaron and his sons to put their hands on the head of the young bull.

11 Na ka patu koe i te puru ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.

Then, while they do that, kill the young bull [by slitting its throat], and catch/drain the blood in a bowl.

12 Na me tango tetahi wahi o te toto o te puru, me pani e tou ringa ki nga haona o te aata, ka riringi katoa ai i nga toto ki te turanga o te aata.

Take some of that blood with your finger and smear it on the projections of the altar. Throw/Splash the rest of the blood against the base of the altar.

13 Na ka tango koe i te ngako katoa e whiwhiwhiwhi ana ki nga whekau, me te pa i runga ake i te ate, me nga whatukuhu e rua, me te pai i aua mea, ka tahu ai ki runga ki te aata.

Take all the fat that covers the inner organs of the young bull, the best part of the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat on them, and burn all these on the altar [as an offering to me].

14 Ko te kikokiko ia o te puru, me tona hiako, me ona paru, me tahu e koe ki te ahi ki waho o te puni: he whakahere hara hoki tena.

But the meat of the young bull and its hide and intestines must be burned outside the camp. That will be an offering to forgive the guilt of your sins.

15 Na ka mau koe ki tetahi o nga hipi toa; a ka popoki iho nga ringaringa o Arona ratou ko ana tama ki runga ki te matenga o te hipi.

“Then select one of the rams, and tell Aaron and his sons to put their hands on the head of the ram.

16 Na ka patu koe i te hipi, a ka tango i ona toto, ka tauhi ai ki te aata a tawhio noa.

Then kill the ram [by slitting its throat]. Catch/Drain some of the blood and splash it against all four sides of the altar.

17 Na ka tapatapahi koe i te hipi, a ka horoi i ona whekau, me ona waewae, ka maka ai ki runga ki nga wahi ona i tapahia, ki runga hoki i tona matenga.

Then cut the ram into pieces. Wash its inner organs and its rear legs and put those with the head

18 Katahi koe ka tahu i te hipi katoa ki runga ki te aata: he tahunga tinana tena ki a Ihowa, he kakara reka, he whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa.

and burn those pieces [completely] on the altar with the rest of the ram. That will be an offering to me, Yahweh, and the smell will please me.

19 Na ka mau koe ki te rua o nga hipi, a ka popoki iho nga ringaringa o Arona ratou ko ana tama ki runga ki te matenga o te hipi.

“Take the other ram [that was selected for these rituals], and tell Aaron and his sons to put their hands on the ram’s head.

20 Na ka patu koe i te hipi, a ka tango i tetahi wahi o ona toto, ka pani atu ki te matamata o te taringa matau a Arona, ki te matamata ano hoki o nga taringa matau o ana tama, ki te koromatua ano hoki o o ratou ringa matau, ki te koromatua ano hok i o o ratou waewae matau, me tauhiuhi atu ano hoki te toto ki te aata a tawhio noa.

Then kill the ram by slitting its throat, and drain the blood [into a bowl]. Smear some of the blood on the lobe of the right ears of Aaron and his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Throw/Splash the rest of the blood against the four sides of the altar.

21 Me tango ano e koe tetahi wahi o nga toto i runga i te aata, o te hinu whakawahi ano hoki, a ka tauhiuhi atu ki a Arona, ki ona kakahu, ki a ratou tahi ano ko ana tama, ki nga kakahu hoki o ana tama: na ka tapu ia, me ona kakahu, me ana tama, me nga kakahu ano hoki o ana tama.

Wipe up some of the blood that is on the altar, mix it with some of the oil for anointing, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his clothes, and on his sons and their clothes. By doing that, you will dedicate them and their clothes [to me].

22 Me tango ano hoki e koe te ngako o te hipi toa, me te hiawero, me te ngako e whiwhiwhiwhi ana ki nga whekau, me te pa i te ate, i nga whatukuhu e rua; me te ngako i aua mea, me te peke matau; he hipi whakatohungatanga hoki:

“Also, cut off the ram’s fat and its fat tail and the fat that covers the inner organs, the best part of the liver, the two kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh.

23 Me te rohi taro kotahi, me tetahi keke taro hinu, me tetahi keke angiangi i roto i te kete taro rewenakore i te aroaro o Ihowa:

Take also one of each of the kinds of bread [that was baked]—one made with no oil, one with oil, and one thin wafer.

24 Na ka hoatu katoa e koe ki nga ringa o Arona, ki nga ringa ano o ana tama; a me poipoi hei whakahere poipoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

Put all these things in the hands of Aaron and his sons. [Then tell them to] lift them up [high] to dedicate them to me.

25 Na ka tango koe i aua mea i o ratou ringa, ka tahu ai ki runga ki to aata, hei tahunga tinana, hei kakara reka ki te aroaro o Ihowa, hei whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa.

Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar, on top of the other things [that were placed there]. That [also] will be an offering to me, and its smell will please me.

26 Na ka tango koe i te uma o te hipi toa o te whakatohungatanga o Arona, a ka poipoi hei whakahere poipoi i te aroaro o Ihowa: ko te wahi hoki tena mau.

Then take the meat of the ribs of the second ram that was killed, and lift it up [high] as an offering to me. But then this part of the animal will be for you [to eat].

27 Me whakatapu ano e koe te uma o te whakahere poipoi, me te peke o te whakahere hapahapai, era e poipoia ana, e hapahapainga ana, o te hipi o te whakatohungatanga, o ta Arona, o ta ana tama:

Then take the meat of the ribs, the other thigh of the first ram that was sacrificed to (dedicate/set apart) the priests, and the ram whose other parts were lifted high to show that they were an offering to me; and set the meat of the ribs and thigh apart for Aaron and his sons, for them to eat.

28 A ka waiho ma Arona ratou ko ana tama, e nga tama a Iharaira; kia pumau tonu tenei tikanga: he whakahere hapahapai hoki: a ka waiho e nga tama a Iharaira hei whakahere hapahapai, he mea no a ratou patunga mo te pai, ara he whakahere hapahapai na ratou ki a Ihowa.

In the future, whenever the Israeli people present to me, Yahweh, offerings to maintain fellowship with me, the ribs and the thigh [of animals that they sacrifice] will be for Aaron and his male descendants [to eat].

29 A ka riro nga kakahu tapu o Arona i ana tama i muri i a ia, hei kakahu e whakawahia ai, e whakatohungatia ai ratou.

“After Aaron [dies], the special clothes that he wore will belong to his sons. They are to wear those clothes when they are (set apart/dedicated) [to become priests].

30 A e whitu nga ra e kakahuria ai aua mea e te tama e meinga hei tohunga i muri i a ia, ina haere ia ki roto ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga ki te minita i roto i te wahi tapu.

Aaron’s son who becomes The Supreme Priest and enters the Sacred Tent and performs rituals in the Holy Place must [stay in the Sacred Tent], wearing these special clothes, for seven days.

31 Me tango ano e koe te hipi toa o te whakatohungatanga, a ka kohua i ona kikokiko ki te wahi tapu.

“Take the meat of the other ram that was sacrificed to (set apart/dedicate) Aaron and his sons, and boil it in the courtyard.

32 A ma Arona ratou ko ana tama e kai te kikokiko o te hipi, me te taro i roto i te kete, ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.

After it is cooked, Aaron and his sons must eat it, along with the bread that is left in the basket, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.

33 Me kai ano e ratou aua mea o te whakamarie, hei whakatohunga, hei whakatapu mo ratou: kauaka ia te tangata ke e kai; he mea tapu hoki ena.

They must eat the meat of the ram that was sacrificed to forgive them for [their sins] when they were dedicated to do this work. They are the only ones who are permitted to eat this meat. [Those who are not priests are not allowed to eat it], because it is dedicated to me.

34 A, ki te toe tetahi wahi o te kikokiko o nga whakatohungatanga, o te taro ranei, ki te ata, me tahu e koe taua toenga ki te ahi: kei kainga; he mea tapu hoki.

If any of this meat or some of the bread is not eaten that night, no one is permitted to eat any of it the next day. It must be completely burned, because it is sacred/dedicated to me.

35 Kia penei tau e mea ai ki a Arona ratou ko ana tama; kia rite ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua atu nei e ahau ki a koe: e whitu nga ra e whakatohunga ai koe i a ratou.

“Those are the rituals that you(sg) must perform during those seven days when you dedicate Aaron and his sons for this work. You must do everything that I have commanded you.

36 A me tuku e koe i tenei ra, i tenei ra, tetahi kau hei whakahere hara, hei whakamarie: me pure ano e koe te aata, ina oti i a koe te whakamarie mo taua mea; me whakawahi ano kia tapu ai.

Each of those seven days you must also sacrifice a young bull as an offering to me, in order that I may forgive sins. Also, you must make another offering (to make the altar pure in my sight/in order that I will consider the altar to be pure). You must also anoint the altar with olive oil, to (set it apart/dedicate it).

37 E whitu nga ra e whakamarie ai koe mo te aata, hei whakatapu; a ka meinga hei aata tino tapu; ko nga mea katoa e pa ana ki te aata, ka tapu.

Perform these rituals every day for seven days, to (set apart/dedicate) the altar and make it pure. If you do not do that, anyone or anything that touches the altar will become taboo.

38 A ko tenei tau e tuku ai ki runga ki te aata; e rua reme, he tautahi me mea tonu tenei i nga ra katoa.

“You must also sacrifice lambs and burn them on the altar. Each of those [seven] days you must sacrifice two lambs.

39 Ko tetahi reme me tuku i te ata, ko te rua o nga reme me tuku i te ahiahi.

One lamb must be sacrificed in the morning, and one must be sacrificed in the evening.

40 Ko te reme me te whakatekau o te paraoa, he mea konatunatu ki te hinu tuki, he whakawha no te hine, me te whakawha o te hine waina, hei ringihanga.

With the first lamb, also offer (2 pounds/1 kilogram) of finely-ground wheat flour mixed with one quart/liter of the best kind of olive oil, and one quart/liter of wine as an offering.

41 A me tuku e koe tetahi reme i te ahiahi; kia rite tau tukunga ki to te whakahere totokore o te ata, me tona ringihanga hoki, hei kakara reka, hei whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa.

In the evening, when you sacrifice the other lamb, offer the same amounts of flour, olive oil, and wine as you did in the morning. This will be an offering to me, Yahweh, that will be burned, and its smell will please me.

42 Hei tahunga tinana tenei e mau tonu ana i o koutou whakatupuranga, i te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, i te aroaro o Ihowa, i te wahi e tutaki ai ahau ki a koutou, korero ai ki a koe.

You [and your descendants] must continue making these offerings to me, Yahweh, throughout all future generations. You must offer them at the entrance of the Sacred Tent. That is where I will meet with you and speak to you.

43 A ka tutaki ahau ki reira ki nga tama a Iharaira, ka tapu ano a reira i toku kororia.

That is where I will meet with the Israeli people, and the brilliant light of my presence will cause that place to be holy/sacred.

44 Ka whakatapua ano e ahau te tapenakara o te whakaminenga me te aata: ka whakatapua ano a Arona ratou ko ana tama, hei tohunga maku.

I will dedicate the Sacred Tent and the altar. I will also dedicate Aaron and his sons to serve me [by being] priests.

45 A ka noho ahau ki waenganui i nga tama a Iharaira, a hei Atua ahau mo ratou.

I will live among the Israeli people, and I will be their God.

46 A ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau, ko to ratou Atua, i whakaputaia mai ai ratou i te whenua o Ihipa, kia noho ai ahau i waenganui i a ratou: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to ratou Atua.

They will know that I, Yahweh their God, am the one who brought them out of Egypt in order that I might live among them.”
