Rewitikuha 4

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

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,

2 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu, Ki te pohehe tetahi tangata, a ka hara ki tetahi o nga mea i whakahaua e Ihowa kia kaua e meatia, a ka mea i tetahi o aua mea:

“Say this to the Israeli people: This is what must be done if someone sins without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of Yahweh’s commands.

3 Ki te hara te tohunga i whakawahia, e tau ai he he ki runga ki te iwi; na me whakahere e ia ki a Ihowa mo tona hara i hara ai ia tetahi puru, hei te kuao kohakore, hei whakahere hara.

'If the Supreme [MTY] Priest sins, and that causes all the people to be guilty, he must bring to Yahweh a young bull that has no defects. That will be an offering for the sin that he has committed.

4 Na me kawe e ia te puru ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ki te aroaro o Ihowa; a ka popoki i tona ringa ki te matenga o te puru, ka patu ai te puru ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

He must bring the bull to the entrance to the Sacred Tent. He must lay his hands on its head. Then he must slaughter it in front of Yahweh [and drain some of the blood into a bowl].

5 Na me tango e te tohunga i whakawahia tetahi wahi o nga toto o te puru, a ka kawe ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga:

Then the Supreme Priest must take some of that blood into the Sacred Tent.

6 A ka tou te tohunga i tona maihao ki te toto, a kia whitu ana tauhiuhinga i te toto ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ki mua o te arai o te wahi tapu.

He must dip [one of] his fingers into the blood and sprinkle it seven times in the presence of Yahweh, in front of the curtain [that separates the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place].

7 Me pani ano e te tohunga tetahi wahi o nga toto ki nga haona o te aata whakakakara reka, ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ki tera i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga; ka riringi ai i nga toto katoa o te puru ki te turanga o te aata mo te tahunga tinana, ki te ra i te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.

Then he must put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the altar where fragrant incense is burned in the Sacred Tent in the presence of Yahweh. The remaining part of the bull’s blood [that is still in the bowl], he must pour out at the base of the altar, where sacrifices are burned, at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.

8 A me tango e ia nga ngako katoa o te puru whakahere hara; te ngako e whiwhiwhiwhi ana ki nga whekau, me nga ngako katoa o nga whekau,

From that offering the Supreme Priest must separate these things from the bull that is to be burned: The fat that covers the inner parts of the bull or which is attached to them—

9 Me nga whatukuhu e rua, me to reira ngako, tera i te hope, me te taupa o te ate, me nga whatukuhu, me tango tera e ia,

the kidneys and the fat that is attached to them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.

10 Kia rite ki te tangohanga o to te puru o te patunga mo te pai: a me tahu e te tohunga ki runga ki te aata mo te tahunga tinana.

Then the Supreme Priest must completely burn those things on the altar. That will be just like when the fat is removed from an animal that is sacrificed to maintain good fellowship [with Yahweh].

11 Ko te hiako ia o te puru, ko ona kikokiko katoa, ko tona pane, ko ona waewae, ko ona whekau, me tona paru,

But all the other parts of the animal—its skin/hide and all its other meat, its head and its legs, its inner parts and the intestines,

12 Ara, ko te puru katoa hoki, me kawe e ia ki waho o te puni, ki tetahi wahi pokekore, ki te wahi e ringihia ai nga pungarehu, ka tahu ai ki te rakau ki te ahi: hei te ringihanga pungarehu tahu ai.

he must take outside the camp and throw them in a place that is acceptable to Yahweh, where the ashes are thrown, and he must burn them in a fire on the pile of ashes.

13 A ki te pohehe te whakaminenga katoa o Iharaira, a ka hara, a ka ngaro taua mea i nga kanohi o te whakaminenga, a ka tika ke i tetahi o a ratou mahi, he mea e kore e tika kia meatia, a ka whai hara ratou;

‘If all the Israeli people sin without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of Yahweh’s commands, they will be guilty, even if they do not realize that they have sinned.

14 A ka kitea te hara i hara ai ratou, katahi ka whakaherea e te whakaminenga tetahi puru kuao mo te hara, me kawe hoki ki mua o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.

When they realize that they have committed a sin, together they must bring a young bull to be an offering for their sin, to the front of the Sacred Tent.

15 Ka popoki ai nga ringa o nga kaumatua o te whakaminenga ki te pane o te puru ki te aroaro o Ihowa: a hei te aroaro o Ihowa patu ai i te puru.

The elders must lay their hands on the bull’s head in the presence of Yahweh and slaughter it [and catch some of the blood in a bowl].

16 A ma te tohunga i whakawahia e kawe tetahi wahi o nga toto o te puru ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga:

Then the Supreme [MTY] Priest must take some of that blood into the Sacred Tent.

17 Ka tou ai te tohunga i tona maihao ki te toto, a kia whitu ana tauhiuhinga ki te aroaro o Ihowa ki mua o te arai.

‘He must dip [one of] his fingers into the blood and sprinkle it seven times in the presence of Yahweh, in front of the curtain [that separates the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place].

18 Me pani ano e ia tetahi wahi o te toto ki nga haona o te aata i te aroaro o Ihowa, ki tera i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ka riringi ai i nga toto katoa ki te turanga o te aata tahunga tinana, ki tera i te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whak aminenga.

Then he must put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the altar that is in the presence of Yahweh in the Sacred Tent. The remaining part of the bull’s blood, he must pour out at the base of the altar where sacrifices are burned, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.

19 Me tango ano i ia ona ngako katoa, ka tahu ai ki runga ki te aata.

He must remove all the animal’s fat and burn it on the altar.

20 Ko tana tena e mea ai ki te puru; kia rite ki tana i mea ai ki te puru whakahere hara, kia pera tana meatanga ki tenei: a me mea e te tohunga he whakamarie mo ratou, a ka murua to ratou hara.

He must do with this bull the same things that he did with the bull that was an offering for his own sins, and they will be forgiven {Yahweh will forgive them}.

21 A me kawe e ia te puru ki waho o te puni, ka tahu, ka pera ano me ia i tahu i te puru tuatahi: ko te whakahere hara tena mo te whakaminenga.

Then the priest must take [the other parts of] the bull outside the camp and burn them, like he does when he himself has sinned. That will be the offering for the sin that all the people have committed, and they will be forgiven.

22 Ki te hara tetahi rangatira, a ka mahi i runga i te pohehe i tetahi o nga mea i whakahaua e Ihowa, e tona Atua, kia kaua e mahia, a ka whai hara,

‘When one of the leaders sins without intending to sin, doing something that is forbidden in any of the commands of Yahweh his God, he will be guilty.

23 Ki te mohiotia e ia tona hara i hara ai, me kawe tana whakahere, he koati, hei te toa, hei te mea kohakore:

When he realizes that he has committed a sin, he must bring as his offering a male goat that has no defects.

24 A ka popoki tona ringa ki runga ki te matenga o te koati, ka patu ai ki te wahi e patua nei te tahunga tinana ki te aroaro o Ihowa: he whakahere hara tena.

He must lay his hands on the goat’s head in the presence of Yahweh and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter {are slaughtered} the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar]. That will be an offering for his sin.

25 A me tango e te tohunga tetahi wahi o te toto o te whakahere hara ki tona maihao, ka pani ai ki nga haona o te aata tahunga tinana, me riringi ano ona toto ki te turanga o te aata tahunga tinana.

Then the priest must put some of the animal’s blood [into a bowl] and dip [one of] his fingers in it and put some of the blood on the corners of the projections of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

26 Na me tahu e ia ona ngako katoa ki te aata, me pera me te ngako o nga patunga mo te pai: a ka whakamarie te tohunga mona, mo tona hara, a ka murua.

Then he must burn all the fat on the altar, as was done with the fat of the offering to maintain good fellowship [with Yahweh]. As a result of the priest’s doing that, the leader will no longer be guilty for his sin and he will be forgiven.

27 A ki te pohehe tetahi tangata noa atu, a ka hara, nona i mea i tetahi mea e tika ke ana i tetahi o nga whakahau a Ihowa, he mea e kore e tika kia meatia, a ka whai hara;

‘If one of the Israeli people who is not a priest sins without intending to sin, and does something that is forbidden in any of the commands of Yahweh his God, he will be guilty.

28 Ki te mohiotia e ia tona hara i hara ai, me kawe e ia tana whakahere, he koati, he uha, he kohakore, mo tona hara i hara ai.

When he realizes that he has committed a sin, he must bring as his offering a female goat that has no defects.

29 A ka popoki tona ringa ki te matenga o te whakahere hara, ka patu ai i te whakahere hara ki te wahi mo te tahunga tinana.

He must lay his hands on the goat’s head and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar, and catch some of the blood in a bowl].

30 Na ka tango te tohunga i tetahi wahi o ona toto ki tona maihao, ka pani ai ki nga haona o te aata tahunga tinana, ka riringi ai i ona toto katoa ki te turanga o te aata.

Then the priest must dip [one of] his fingers in the blood, and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

31 Me tango ano e ia ona ngako katoa, me pera me te ngako e tangohia ana i nga patunga mo te pai: a me tahu e te tohunga ki runga ki te aata hei kakara reka ki a Ihowa; na ka whakamarie te tohunga mona, a ka murua tona.

Then he must remove all the goat’s fat, and burn all the fat on the altar, like was done with the fat of the offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh. As a result of the priest doing that, the person will no longer be guilty for his sin, and he will be forgiven.

32 A ki te mea he reme tana whakahere e kawea ana e ia mo te hara, me kawe e ia hei te uha, hei te mea kohakore.

‘If that person brings a lamb to be his offering for sin, he must bring a female lamb that has no defects.

33 Na ka popoki tona ringa ki te matenga o te whakahere hara, a ka patua hei whakahere hara ki te wahi e patua nei e ratou te tahunga tinana.

He must lay his hands on the lamb’s head and slaughter it at the place where they slaughter the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar, and catch some of the blood in a bowl].

34 Na me tango e te tohunga tetahi wahi o te toto o te whakahere hara ki tona maihao, ka pani ai ki nga haona o te aata tahunga tinana, me riringi ano ona toto katoa ki te turanga o te aata:

Then the priest must dip [one of] his fingers in the blood and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. Then he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

35 Me tango ano e ia ona ngako katoa, kia rite ki te tangohanga o te ngako o te reme o nga patunga mo te pai; ka tahu ai e te tohunga ki runga ki te aata, ki runga ki nga whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa; na ka whakamarie te tohunga mo tona hara i hara ai, a ka murua.

Then he must remove all the lamb’s fat, and burn all the fat on the altar, like was done with the fat of the offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]. He must burn it on top of the other offerings to Yahweh that are being burned. As a result, the priest will request God to forgive that person for his sin, and he will be forgiven.’”
