Ehekiera 46

1 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Me tutaki te kuwaha o to roto marae e anga ana ki te rawhiti i nga ra mahi e ono; kia tuwhera ia i te hapati, kia tuwhera ano i te ra e kowhiti ai te marama.

This is what the Lord God says: “The east gate of the inner court is to be kept shut during the six working days, but it shall be opened on the Sabbath and on the day of the New Moon

2 A ka tomo te rangatira ma te ara o te whakamahau o te kuwaha i waho, ka tu ai ki te pou o te kuwaha; katahi ka mahia e nga tohunga tana tahunga tinana, me ana whakahere mo te pai, hei te paepae ano o te kuwaha he koropikotanga mona; katahi ia ka puta atu ki waho; kauaka ia te kuwaha e tutakina a ahiahi noa.

The prince must come through the gateway porch from outside and he will stand by the gatepost, and the priests will sacrifice his burnt offerings and peace offerings. He is to bow in respect at the gate's threshold of the gate and leave, but the gate is not to be shut until evening.

3 Hei te tatau ano o taua kuwaha he koropikotanga mo te iwi o te whenua i nga hapati, i nga kowhititanga marama, ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

The people of Israel will also bow before the Lord at the gateway entrance on Sabbaths and New Moons.

4 Na, ko te tahunga tinana e whakaherea e te rangatira ki a Ihowa hei te ra hapati, e ono nga reme he mea kahakore, he hipi toa, he mea kohakore.

The burnt offering that the prince is to offer to the Lord on the Sabbath day shall be six male lambs and a ram, all without defects.

5 Ko te whakahere totokore, kia kotahi te epa mo te hipi toa, me to nga reme whakahere totokore, ko tana e taea te homai; kotahi te epa, kia kotahi ano hine hinu.

The grain offering to accompany the ram shall be one ephah, and the grain offering with the lambs shall be as much as he chooses, together with a hin of olive oil for every ephah of grain.

6 Na i te ra e kowhiti ai te marama ko tetahi kuao puru, he mea kohakore, e ono nga reme, kotahi te hipi toa, he mea kohakore katoa.

On the day of the New Moon he is to offer a young bull, six lambs, and a ram. They are all to be without defects.

7 Kia rite ano i a ia he whakahere totokore, mo te puru, kia kotahi epa; mo te hipi toa, kia kotahi epa; ko to nga reme, ko ta tona ringa e tae atu ai; kotahi te epa, kia kotahi ano hine hinu.

He is also to provide a grain offering of an ephah with the bull, an ephah with the ram, and as much as he is chooses with the lambs, together with a hin of olive oil for every ephah of grain.

8 Na e tomo te rangatira ki roto, me haere ia na te ara o te whakamahau o te kuwaha; hei to reira ara ano he putanga mona.

When the prince enters, he is to come in through the gateway porch, and leave the same way.

9 Na e tomo te iwi o te whenua ki te aroaro o Ihowa i nga hakari nunui, ko te tangata i tomo na te ara o te kuwaha ki te raki ki te koropiko, hei te ara o te kuwaha ki te tonga he putanga mona; a, ko te tangata i tomo na te ara o te kuwaha ki te to nga, hei te ara o te kuwaha ki te raki he putanga mona: kaua ia e hoki na te ara o te kuwaha i tomo ai ia; engari me haere hangai atu.

When the people of Israel gather before the Lord at the regular religious festivals, anyone who enters through the north gate to worship has to leave through the south gate, and anyone who enters through the south gate leave through the north gate. No one is allowed to go back through the same gate through which they entered. Everyone must leave by the opposite gate.

10 Na, ko te rangatira, ina tomo ratou ki roto, hei waenganui ia i a ratou; a, ina puta ratou ki waho, me puta tahi ratou.

The prince is to enter when the people do; and leave when they leave.

11 Na, ko te whakahere totokore i nga hakari, i nga whakanuinga, kotahi te epa ki te puru, kotahi te epa ki te hipi toa; ko to nga reme ano, ko te mea e taea e ia te homai; kia kotahi te hine hinu ki te epa.

At the religious festivals and regular meetings, the grain offering will be an ephah with a bull, an ephah with a ram, and as much as people choose with the lambs, together with a hin of olive oil for every ephah of grain.

12 Na e mahia mai e te rangatira he tahunga tinana, he mea tuku noa mai, he whakahere ranei mo te pai, he mea tuku noa mai, hei mea ki a Ihowa, me whakatuwhera e etahi te kuwaha e anga ana ki te rawhiti ki a ia, a ka mahia e ia tana tahunga tinana, me ana whakahere mo te pai, kia rite ki tana mahinga i te ra o te hapati. Katahi ia ka puta ki waho, a ka tutakina te kuwaha ina puta ia.

When the prince decides to make a freewill offering to the Lord, whether it's a burnt offering or a peace offering, the east gate is to be opened for him. He shall offer his burnt offering or peace offering in the same way he does on the Sabbath. When he leaves, the gate must be closed after him.

13 Me mahi e koe he tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa i tenei ra, i tenei ra, he reme, hei te tautahi, hei te kohakore: me mahi e koe i tenei ata, i tenei ata.

Every morning a year-old lamb without defects is to be sacrificed as a daily burnt offering to the Lord.

14 Me mahi ano e koe he whakahere totokore hei kinaki i tenei ata, i tenei ata, te whakaono o te epa, me te whakatoru o te hine hinu, hei whakamakuku i te paraoa; he whakahere totokore ki a Ihowa, he mea e tuturu ana tona tikanga a ake ake.

Every morning a grain offering of a sixth of an ephah with a third of a hin of olive oil to moisten the best flour is to be provided as a grain offering to the Lord. This regulation is to be followed forever.

15 Ina, me mahi te reme, me te whakahere totokore, me te hinu i tenei ata, i tenei ata, hei tahunga tinana e tuturu tonu ana.

Make sure the lamb, the grain offering, and the olive oil is presented every morning as a regular burnt offering.

16 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ki te homai e te rangatira tetahi mea homai noa ki tetahi o ana tamariki, ka riro tera i ana tamariki; mo ratou tera, a tuku iho, tuku iho.

This is what the Lord God says: If the prince gives a gift of property to any of his sons to own, it will belong to his descendants. They will be able to inherit the property.

17 Tena, ki te hoatu tetahi wahi o tona kainga tupu ki tetahi o ana pononga, mana tera, a taea noatia te tau haere noa; katahi ka hoki ki te rangatira: mo ana tamariki ano ia tona wahi tupu hei wahi mo ratou.

However, if he gives a gift of his property to one of his servants, that servant will only own it until the Jubilee Year. Then ownership will return to the prince. His property that he passes on through inheritance belongs only to his sons—it is theirs.

18 Kaua ano te rangatira e tango i tetahi wahi o to te iwi kainga tupu, he pei i a ratou i o ratou wahi; me homai e ia he wahi mo ana tamariki i roto i tona wahi ake; kei marara noa atu taku iwi i tona wahi, i tona wahi.

The prince is not to take people's land, driving them off their property. He is to give land to his sons from his own property, so that none of my people shall be evicted from their property.”

19 Katahi ahau ka kawea e ia ki roto, i tika na te tomokanga i te taha o te kuwaha ki nga ruma tapu o nga tohunga, ki era e anga ana whaka te raki: na, ko tetahi wahi i reira i muri whaka te hauauru.

The man took me through the entrance beside the gate into the north-facing holy rooms that belonged to the priests. He showed me a place at the far western end

20 Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Ko te wahi tenei e kohuatia ai e nga tohunga te whakahere mo te he, me te whakahere hara, ka tunua ano e ratou ki konei te whakaheretotokore; kei whakaputaina mai ki to waho marae whakatapu ai i te iwi.

and told me, “This is where the priests cook guilt offerings and sin offerings, and where they bake the grain offering. This is so that they don't take them to the outer courtyard and carry holiness to the people.”

21 Katahi ahau ka kawea e ia ki to waho marae; a ka meinga e ia kia tika na nga kokonga e wha o te marae; na ko tetahi marae i tetahi kokonga, i tetahi kokonga o te marae.

He took me into the outer courtyard and led me to each of its four corners. I saw a separate courtyard in each corner.

22 He marae kei nga kokonga e wha o te marae, he mea karapoti mai, e wha tekau nga whatianga te roa, e toru tekau te whanui: ko enei e wha i nga kokonga, rite tonu te nui.

There were separate walled courtyards in the four corners of the outer courtyard. They each measured forty cubits by thirty cubits—they were all the same size.

23 Na he rarangi whare kei aua marae a taka noa, i aua marae e wha a taka noa; i mahia ano etahi wahi mo nga kohua i raro i nga rarangi, a taka noa.

Each of the four courts had a stone ledge with ovens built into the base of the walls on every side.

24 Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Ko nga wahi enei o nga kohua, e kohuatia ai e nga minita o te whare te patunga tapu a te iwi.

He told me, “These are the kitchens where those who serve in the Temple will cook the people's sacrificial offerings.”
