Rewitikuha 12

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

Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

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.

"Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'If a woman conceives, and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her monthly period she shall be unclean.

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

In the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

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.

She shall continue in the blood of purification thirty-three days. She shall not touch any holy thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are completed.

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.

But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her period; and she shall continue in the blood of purification sixty-six days.

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:

"'When the days of her purification are completed, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the door of the Tent of Meeting, a year old lamb for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering:

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.

and he shall offer it before Jehovah, and make atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood. "'This is the law for her who bears, whether a male or a female.

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 she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons; the one for a burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.'"
