Rewitikuha 24
1 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 Whakahaua nga tama a Iharaira kia kawea e ratou ki a koe, he hinu oriwa, hei te mea parakore, hei te mea tuki, mo te whakamarama, kia ka tonu ai nga rama.
“Command the Israeli people to continually bring to you clear oil made from pressed olives to burn in the lamps [in the Sacred Tent], in order that those lamps will burn all the time.
3 Me whakapai tonu tena e Arona ki waho o te arai o te whakaaturanga, i roto i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ki te aroaro o Ihowa, i te ahiahi a tae noa ki te ata: he tikanga pumau, ma o koutou whakatupuranga.
Outside the curtain of the Very Holy Place, Aaron must take care of the lamps in my presence continually, in order that they will burn all during the night. That regulation must be obeyed forever.
4 Me whakapai tonu e ia nga rama i runga i te turanga parakore o nga rama ki te aroaro o Ihowa.
Those lampstands that burn in my presence must be taken care of continually.
5 Me tiki ano e koe he paraoa pai, ka tunu ai kia tekau ma rua nga keke: kia rua nga whakatekau o te epa ki te keke kotahi.
“Also, [each week] you must take some fine flour and bake twelve [very big] loaves of bread, using about four quarts/liters of flour for each loaf.
6 Ka whakatakoto ai e koe, kia rua nga rarangi, kia ono ki te rarangi kotahi, ki runga ki te tepu parakore i te aroaro o Ihowa.
Put the loaves in two rows, with six loaves in each row, on the table covered with pure gold, in my presence.
7 Me maka ano hoki e koe he parakihe parakore ki runga i tetahi rarangi, i tetahi rarangi, kia ai taua mea i runga i te taro hei whakamahara, hei whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa.
Along each row, place [in some gold cups] some pure incense to be burned to be an offering to me instead of the bread.
8 Me whakararangi tonu e ia, i tenei hapati, i tenei hapati, ki te aroaro o Ihowa, he mea mo nga tama a Iharaira; hei kawenata pumau.
New/Fresh loaves of bread must be put [on the table] each Sabbath day, to signify the agreement that will never end, that I have made with you Israeli people.
9 A ma Arona ratou ko ana tama tena; me kai e ratou ki te wahi tapu; he tino tapu hoki tena mana i roto i nga whakahere ahi a Ihowa; hei tikanga pumau.
The bread [that is taken off the table] belongs to Aaron and his sons. They must eat it in a holy place, because it is a very holy part of the offerings that are given to me by being burned.”
10 A i haere atu i roto i nga tama a Iharaira tetahi tama a tetahi wahine o Iharaira, ko tona papa no Ihipa: na ka whawhai tenei tama a te wahine o Iharaira ki tetahi tangata o Iharaira i roto i te puni;
There was a man whose mother’s name was Shelomith; she was an Israeli whose father was Dibri from the tribe of Dan. And that man’s father was from Egypt. One day that man and another Israeli man started to fight inside the camp. And while they were fighting, that man cursed Yahweh [MTY].
11 Na ka kohukohu te tama a te wahine o Iharaira i te ingoa o Ihowa, ka kanga hoki: a kawea ana ia e ratou ki a Mohi. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Heromiti, he tamahine na Tipiri, no te iwi o Rana.
12 Na ka hoatu ia e ratou kia tiakina, ma te kupu hoki a Ihowa te tikanga ki a ratou.
So the Israeli people seized him and guarded him until they could find out what Yahweh would reveal to them [that they should do to that man].
13 Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
14 Kawea te tangata i kanga ra ki waho o te puni; a, ko nga tangata katoa i rongo i a ia, me popoki o ratou ringa ki tona matenga, ka aki ai te whakaminenga katoa i a ia ki te kohatu.
“[Tie up and] take outside the camp the man who has cursed me. There all those who heard what he said must put their hands on his head [to indicate that he is guilty], and then all the people must [kill him by] throwing stones at him.
15 Me korero ano e koe ki nga tama a Iharaira, me ki atu, Ki te kanga tetahi tangata i tona Atua, ka waha e ia tona hara.
Tell the Israelis, ‘If anyone curses me, he must (endure the consequences/be punished).
16 A, ko te tangata e kohukohu i te ingoa o Ihowa, me tino whakamate ia; me tino aki ia e te whakaminenga ki te kohatu: ko te manene raua tahi ko te tangata whenua ka whakamatea, ina kohukohua e ia te ingoa o Ihowa.
So anyone who curses me [MTY] must be executed. All the people must throw stones at him. It does not matter if he is a foreigner or an Israeli citizen; anyone who curses me must be executed.’
17 Ki te whakamate hoki tetahi i tetahi tangata me tino whakamate ano ia;
“Also, If anyone murders another person, he must be executed.
18 Ki te whakamate hoki tetahi i te kararehe, me utu e ia; he kararehe mo te kararehe.
And anyone who kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed.
19 Ki te mate hoki i te tangata tetahi wahi o tona hoa; me mea ki a ia tana i mea ai:
And if one person injures another person, the injured person is allowed to injure the person who injured him in the same way:
20 He whati mo te whati, he kanohi mo te kanohi, he niho mo te niho: ko te mate i meatia e ia ki te tangata, me mea ano ki a ia.
If someone breaks one of another person’s bones, that person is allowed to break one of the bones of the person who injured him. If someone gouges out an eye of another person, that person is allowed to gouge out the eye of the person who injured him. If someone knocks out the tooth of another person, that person is allowed to knock out one of his teeth. What is done to the offender must be the same as what he did to the other person.
21 Ki te whakamate hoki tetahi i te kararehe, me utu e ia: ki te whakamate hoki tetahi i te tangata, me whakamate ano ia.
Whoever kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed, but anyone who murders another person must be executed.
22 Kia kotahi ano ta koutou whakawa mo te manene, mo te tangata whenua: ko Ihowa hoki ahau, ko to koutou Atua.
That law applies to you Israelis and and also to the foreigners who live among you; I, Yahweh your God [am the one who has commanded it].”
23 Na ka korero a Mohi ki nga tama a Iharaira, a kawea ana e ratou ki waho o te puni te tangata nana te kanga, a akina ana hoki ki te kamaka. A meatia ana e nga tama a Iharaira ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.
Then Moses/I told the Israelis [what they must do to the man who cursed Yahweh], so they took the man outside the camp and [killed him by] throwing stones at him. They did what Yahweh commanded Moses/me [to tell them to do].
