Rewitikuha 23
1 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, Ko nga hakari nunui a Ihowa, e karangatia e koutou hei huihuinga tapu, ko enei aku hakari.
“Tell the Israeli people about the festivals that I have chosen, the days when you all must gather together [to worship me].”
3 E ono nga ra e mahia ai te mahi; ko te whitu ia o nga ra he hapati okiokinga, he huihuinga tapu: kaua tetahi mahi e mahia: he hapati tena no Ihowa, i o koutou nohoanga katoa.
“You may work for six days [each week], but on the seventh day you must not do any work. You must rest. It is a sacred/holy day when you must gather together [to worship me]. Wherever you live, you must rest on that day.”
4 Ko nga hakari nunui enei a Ihowa, ko nga huihuinga tapu e karangatia e koutou i nga wa e rite ai.
“There are festivals that I have established for you. Those will also be sacred/holy days when you must gather together [to worship me].
5 Kei te marama tuatahi, kei te tekau ma wha o te marama, i te ahiahi, ko te kapenga a Ihowa.
[The first festival is] (the Passover/when you remember that I spared your ancestors when I killed all the firstborn Egyptian sons). That festival will begin at twilight/dusk/sunset on the chosen day (each spring/in March or April each year), [and end on the following day].
6 A i te tekau ma rima o nga ra o taua marama ano ko te hakari taro rewenakore a Ihowa: e whitu nga ra e kai ai koutou i te taro rewenakore.
The next day, the Festival of Eating Bread That Has No Yeast will begin. That festival will continue for seven days. During that time, the bread that you eat must be made without yeast.
7 Hei te ra tuatahi he huihuinga tapu ma koutou: kaua tetahi mahi a te kaimahi e mahia.
On the first day of that festival, you all must stop your regular work and you must gather together [to worship me].
8 Engari kia whitu nga ra e whakahere ai koutou i te whakahere ahi ma Ihowa; a i te whitu o nga ra he huihuinga tapu: kaua e mahia tetahi mahi a te kaimahi.
On each of the seven days, you must present to me [several animals to be] an offering/sacrifice to be completely burned [on the altar]. On the seventh day, you all must again stop your regular work and gather to worship me.”
9 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
Yahweh also told Moses/me
10 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, E tae koutou ki te whenua e hoatu e ahau ki a koutou, a ka kotia ona hua, me kawe mai tetahi paihere o nga hua mataati o ta koutou kotinga ki te tohunga:
to tell the Israeli people [about other festivals]. He said, “When you arrive in the land which I am giving to you, and you harvest your crops [for the first time] there, bring to the priest some of the first grain that you harvest.
11 A mana e poipoi te paihere ki te aroaro o Ihowa, kia manakohia ai mo koutou: me poipoi e te tohunga i te aonga ake o te hapati.
On the day after the [next] Sabbath/rest day, the priest will lift it up [high to dedicate it] to me, in order that I will accept it as your [gift].
12 Me whakahere ano hoki i te ra e poipoia ai e koutou te paihere, he reme toa, hei te mea kohakore, hei te tau tahi, hei tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa.
That same day, you must sacrifice to me a one-year-old male lamb that has no defects. You must burn it [on the altar].
13 A, ko te whakahere totokore, kia rua nga whakatekau o te epa paraoa, he mea konatu ki te hinu, hei whakahere ahi ma Ihowa, hei kakara reka: me waina hoki tona ringihanga, ko te whakawha o te hine.
You must also burn an offering of grain. That offering must consist of (three quarts/3.5 liters) of good flour mixed with [olive] oil. The smell [of those things burning] will be very pleasing to me. Along with that, you must also offer one quart/liter of wine, which will be a liquid offering.
14 Kaua ano hoki e kai i te taro, i te mea pahuhu, i nga puku hou ranei, kia taea ra ano te tino ra e kawea ai te whakahere ki to koutou Atua: he tikanga pumau ma o koutou whakatupuranga i o koutou nohoanga katoa.
Do not eat any bread or any roasted grain or unroasted grain on that day until after you have brought those offerings to me, your God. You must always obey [LIT] those commands, wherever you live.”
15 Me tatau ano e koutou i te aonga ake o te hapati, i te ra i kawea ai te paihere mo te whakahere poipoi; kia tino rite nga hapati e whitu:
“Seven weeks after the priest offers that grain to me,
16 Kia tae ra ano ki te aonga ake o te whitu o nga hapati ta koutou tatau i nga ra e rima tekau; ka whakahere ai koutou i te whakahere totokore, i te mea hou ki a Ihowa.
on the next/50th day after he offers it, [each family] must bring to me an offering from the new crop of grain.
17 Me kawe mai e koutou i roto i o koutou nohoanga, kia rua nga taro poipoi e rua nei o raua whakatekau o te epa: he mea paraoa, he mea i tunua rewenatia, a ko nga tuapora ena ma Ihowa.
From your homes, bring two loaves of bread [to the priest]. He will lift them up [high to dedicate them] as an offering to me. Those loaves must be baked from three quarts/liters of good flour that has yeast mixed with it. That bread will be an offering to me from the first wheat that you harvest [each year].
18 Me whakahere tahi ano me te taro kia whitu nga reme, hei te mea kohakore, hei te tau tahi, me tatahi puru kuao, me nga hipi toa e rua: hei tahunga tinana ena ki a Ihowa, te whakahere totokore ano hoki, me nga ringihanga, hei whakahere ahi, hei k akara reka ki a Ihowa.
Along with this bread, you must present to me seven one-year-old lambs with no defects, one young bull, and two rams. They must all be completely burned [on the altar]. All those offerings, with the grain offering and the wine offering, will be burned, and the smell [of all those things burning] will be very pleasing to me.
19 Na ka whakaherea tetahi koati toa hei whakahere hara, kia rua ano hoki nga reme toa, hei te tau tahi, hei patunga mo te pai.
Then you must also kill one male goat to be an offering/sacrifice for your sins, and two one-year-old male lambs to be an offering to enable you to maintain fellowship with me.
20 Me poipoi ngatahi e te tohunga me te taro o nga tuapora, hei whakahere poipoi, ki te aroaro o Ihowa, me nga reme e rua: ka tapu ena ki a Ihowa ma te tohunga.
The priest will lift up these offerings [high to dedicate them] to me. He will also offer the loaves of bread that were baked from the first wheat that you harvest. Those offerings are sacred to me, but they are for the priests [to eat].
21 Me karanga ano i taua tino ra he huihuinga tapu ma koutou: kaua e mahia tetahi mahi a te kaimahi: he tikanga pumau i o koutou nohoanga katoa, ma o koutou whakatupuranga.
On that day, you must stop your regular work and gather to worship me. You must always obey those instructions/commands, and you must obey them wherever you live.
22 A ka kotia nga hua o to koutou whenua, kaua e tino whakapotoa nga kokonga o tau mara ina kotia e koe, kaua ano hoki e hamua nga toenga o au hua: me waiho ma te rawakore, ma te manene: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
“When you harvest the grain in your fields, do not harvest the grain along the edges of the fields, and do not pick up the grain that the harvesters drop. Leave that grain for the poor people and for the foreigners who are living among you. [Do not forget that it is] I, Yahweh your God, [who am commanding those things]!”
23 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
Yahweh also told Moses/me
24 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu, Hei te whitu o nga marama, hei te tuatahi o te marama, he hapati ma koutou, he whakamaharatanga, he whakatangihanga tetere, he huihuinga tapu.
to give these instructions/commands to the Israeli people: “[Each year] in September, on the day that I have chosen, you all must celebrate it by completely resting. You must not do any work on that day. When [the priests] blow their trumpets loudly, you all must gather together to worship me.
25 Kaua e mahia tetahi mahi a te kaimahi; engari me whakahere he whakahere ahi ma Ihowa.
All of you must not do your regular work on that day. Instead, you must present offerings to me that will be burned [on the altar].”
26 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
27 Ko te tekau ano hoki o tenei marama, o te whitu, hei ra whakamarietanga; hei huihuinga tapu tena ma koutou; me whakapouri hoki o koutou wairua; me whakahere ano hoki he whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa.
“You must celebrate a day [on which you request that I] forgive you for the sins that you have committed. That day will be nine days after the festival [when the priests blow] the trumpets. On that day you must (fast/abstain from eating food). You must gather together to worship me and present offerings to me that will be burned [on the altar].
28 A kaua rawa e mahia he mahi i taua rangi; he ra whakamarie hoki tena, e mainga ai he whakamarie mo koutou ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua.
You must not do any work on that day, because it is the day when the priests will offer sacrifices to me to (atone for/ask me to forgive) your sins.
29 Na, ko te wairua e kore e whakapouritia i taua ra, ka hatepea atu i roto i tona iwi.
You must expel from your group anyone who does not (fast/abstain from eating food) on that day.
30 Ki te mahia hoki e tetahi wairua tetahi mahi i taua ra, ka whakangaromia e ahau taua wairua i roto i tona iwi.
I will get rid of anyone who does any kind of work on that day.
31 Kei mahia tetahi mahi: he tikanga pumau tena ma o koutou whakatupuranga i o koutou nohoanga katoa.
You must not work at all! You must always obey those instructions/commands, and you must obey them wherever you live.
32 Hei hapati okiokinga tena mo koutou, me whakapouri o koutou wairau; me whakahapati ta koutou hapati i te iwa o te marama i te ahiahi; i te ahiahi a tae noa ki tetahi ahiahi.
That day will be a day of complete rest for all of you, and on that day you must (fast/abstain from eating food) [to show that you are sorry for having sinned]. That day of rest and (fasting/abstaining from eating food) will begin on the evening before the day in which you ask me to forgive you for your sins, and it will end on the evening of the following day.”
33 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
34 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu, Ko te kotahi tekau ma rima o nga ra o tenei marama, o te whitu, te hakari whare wharau ki a Ihowa, kia whitu nga ra.
“Tell the Israeli people that [each year] they must also celebrate a festival of living in temporary shelters. That festival will begin five days after the day in which they request me to forgive them for their sins. It will last for seven days.
35 Hei te ra tuatahi he huihuinga tapu: kaua e mahia tetahi mahi a te kaimahi.
On the first day of that festival, the people must gather together to worship me, and they must not do any regular work on that day.
36 E whitu nga ra e whakahere ai koutou i te whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa: hei te ra waru he huihui tapu mo koutou; a ka whakahere he whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa: he huihui nui tena, kaua te mahi a te kaimahi e mahia.
On each of the seven days of the festival, they must present to me an offering [of animals] that will be burned [on the altar]. On the next day, they must gather again to worship me and present to me another animal that will be burned [on the altar]. That also will be a sacred gathering, and they must not work on that day, either.
37 Ko nga hakari enei a Ihowa e karangatia e koutou hei huihui tapu, hei whakaherenga mo te whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa, mo te tahunga tinana, mo te whakahere totokore, mo te patunga tapu, mo nga ringihanga, tenei mea i tona rangi, tenei mea i tona ra ngi:
“[To summarize], those are the festivals that I have appointed. Celebrate those sacred festivals by gathering together to present to me all the various offerings that will be burned [on the altar]—animals that will be burned completely, and offerings of grain, and offerings to enable the Israeli people to maintain fellowship with me, and offerings of wine. Each offering must be brought on the day that I have indicated.
38 Haunga nga hapati a Ihowa, haunga a koutou mea homai noa, haunga a koutou ki taurangi katoa, haunga a koutou whakahere tuku noa katoa e homai ana ki a Ihowa.
(Those festivals must be celebrated/You must celebrate those festivals) in addition to [worshiping on] the (Sabbath days/days of rest). And all those offerings must be given in addition to the offerings that people personally decide to give, and in addition to the offerings that people make to accompany the solemn promises that they have made, or offerings that people make (voluntarily/because they themselves want to).
39 I te tekau ma rima hoki o nga ra o te whitu o nga marama, ina poto i a koutou te kohikohi nga hua o te whenua, me whakarite e koutou he hakari ki a Ihowa, kia whitu nga ra: ko te ra tuatahi hei hapati, ko te ra tuawaru hoki hei hapati.
“[Returning to my instructions about] the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters, you must celebrate this festival after you have harvested all the crops. On the first day and on the last day of that festival, you must rest completely.
40 Na i te ra tuatahi ka mau ki nga peka rakau papai, ki nga peka nikau, ki nga peka hoki o nga rakau pururu, ki nga wirou o te awa; a ka koa koutou ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua, kia whitu nga ra.
But on the first day, you are permitted to pick fruit from trees. Cut palm fronds/branches and other leafy branches from trees or from bushes that grow by the streams, [and make shelters/huts to live in for that week]. Then rejoice in my presence for those seven days.
41 Kia whitu hoki nga ra o te tau e whakarite ai koutou i te hakari ki a Ihowa. Hei tikanga pumau tenei, puta noa i o koutou whakatupuranga: ko a te whitu o nga marama whakaritea ai e koutou.
You must celebrate this festival for seven days every year. You must never stop obeying my commands/instructions for that festival. You must celebrate it in September.
42 Kia whitu nga ra e noho ai koutou i roto i nga wharau; ko nga tangata whenua katoa o Iharaira me noho i roto i nga wharau:
During the seven days of that festival, all of you people who have been Israelis your entire lives must live in shelters/huts.
43 Kia mohio ai o koutou whakatupuranga i meinga e ahau nga tama a Iharaira kia noho i roto i nga wharau, i taku whakaputanga mai i a ratou i te whenua o Ihipa: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
That will remind your descendants that their ancestors lived in shelters [for many years] after I rescued them from Egypt. [Do not forget that] I, Yahweh your God, [am the one who is commanding this].”
44 Na ka korerotia atu e Mohi nga hakari a Ihowa ki nga tama a Iharaira.
So Moses/I gave to the Israeli people all those instructions concerning the festivals that Yahweh [wanted them to celebrate] each year.
