Rewitikuha 12

1 I Korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

The Lord told Moses, “Give these instructions to the Israelites.

2 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu, Ki te hapu tetahi wahine, a ka whanau he tane, na kia whitu nga ra e poke ai ia; kia rite tona pokenga ki nga ra o tona mate paheke.

Any woman who becomes pregnant and has a boy, she will be unclean for one week, in the same way that she is unclean during her period.

3 A i te waru o nga ra ka kotia te kiri matamata o te tamaiti.

The boy's foreskin must be circumcised on the eighth day.

4 A me noho te wahine ki te toto o tona purenga, kia toru tekau ma toru nga ra: kaua ia e pa ki tetahi mea tapu, e haere ranei ki te wahi tapu, kia taka ra ano nga ra mo tona purenga.

The woman must wait a further thirty-three days for the purification of her bleeding. She is not allowed to touch anything holy, and she is not allowed to enter the sanctuary until her time of purification is finished.

5 Ki te mea ia ka whanau he kotiro, kia rua nga wiki e poke ai, kia rite ki o tona paheketanga: a kia ono tekau ma ono nga ra e noho ai ia ki te toto o tona purenga.

If a woman has a daughter, she will be unclean for two weeks, in the same way that she is unclean during her menstrual period. The woman must wait a further sixty-six days for the purification of her blood.

6 A ka rite nga ra mo tona purenga mo te tama, mo te kotiro ranei, me kawe mai e ia he reme, hei te tau tahi, hei tahunga tinana, me te pi kukupa, me te kukupa ranei, hei whakahere hara ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ki te tohun ga:

Once the time of purification is finished for either a son or a daughter, the woman must bring a year-old lamb as a burnt offering and a young pigeon or turtledove as a purification offering. She is to bring her offerings to the priest at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

7 A mana e whakahere ki te aroaro o Ihowa, a ka meinga he whakamarie mona; a ka kore ona poke i te rerenga o ona toto. Ko te ture tenei mo te wahine kua whanau nei tana tama, kotiro ranei.

The priest will then present them to the Lord to purify her so she will be clean from her bleeding. These are the regulations for a woman after she's had a son or a daughter.

8 A ki te kahore e taea e ia i ona rawa te kawe mai he reme, me kawe mai nga kukupa e rua, nga pi kukupa ranei e rua; ko tetahi hei tahunga tinana, ko tetahi hei whakahere hara: a ma te tohunga e whakamarie mona, a ka kore ona poke.

If a woman can't afford to bring a lamb, she is to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons. One is for the burnt offering and the other for the purification offering. The priest will offer them to purify her, and she will be clean.”
