Rewitikuha 5

1 Ki te hara tetahi, mona i rongo ki te reo whakaoati, he kaiwhakaatu nei ia mo tana i kite ai, i mohio ai ranei, ki te kahore e whakaaturia e ia, na me waha e ia tona hara:

[Yahweh also said to tell the people], “If [a judge] orders any of you to tell [in court] something that you have seen or something that you heard someone say, if you refuse to say what you know is true, you must (pay a penalty/be punished) [MTY] for refusing to tell what you know.

2 Ki te pa tetahi ki te mea poki, ki te tinana ranei o te kirehe poke, ki te tinana ranei o te kararehe poki, ki te tinana ranei o nga mea ngoki, ara o nga mea poki, a e huna ana i a ia, a ka poki ia, na ka whai hara ia.

If you accidentally touch something which God considers impure [DOU], such as the carcass of a wild animal or the carcass of a bull or cow, or of an animal that scurries across the ground, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).

3 Ki te pa ranei ia ki te poki tangata, ki nga tini poke e poke ai te tangata, a ka huna i a ia; ina mohiotia e ia, ka whai hara ia:

If you touch any human feces, even if you do not intend to do that, when you realize what you have done, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).

4 Ki te oati ranei tetahi, he mea puta ohorere i ona ngutu, kia mahi i te kino, i te pai ranei, i nga tini mea ranei e puaki ohorere mai i te tangata ina oati, a e huna ana i a ia; ina mohiotia e ia, na, ka whai hara ia i tetahi o enei mea:

If you carelessly make a solemn promise [to do something] that is good or that is bad, when you realize what you have done, you must (pay a penalty/be punished).

5 A ki te mea kua whai hara ia i tetahi o enei mea, na me whaki tona hara i taua mea;

If you are guilty of committing any of those sins, you must confess what you have done.

6 A me kawe e ia tana whakahere mo te he ki a Ihowa, mo tona hara i hara ai, he uha no te kahui, he reme, he kuao koati ranei, hei whakahere hara; a ma te tohunga e whakamarie mona, mo tona hara.

And for a penalty you must bring to Yahweh a female lamb or female goat, to be an offering for the sin that you have committed, and the priest will sacrifice it, and then you will no longer be guilty for your sin.

7 A, ki te kahore e taea e ia i ona rawa he reme, me kawe e ia ki a Ihowa mo tona he i he ai, kia rua nga kukupa, kia rua ranei nga pi kukupa; ko tetahi hei whakahere hara, ko tetahi hei tahunga tinana.

If you [are poor and] cannot afford to bring a lamb, you must bring to Yahweh two doves or two young pigeons. One will be an offering for your sin and one will be an offering that will be completely burned [on the altar].

8 Me kawe raua e ia ki te tohunga, ka whakahere ai e ia, ko te mea mo te whakahere hara ki mua, ka kikini ai i tona pane i te ritenga o tona kaki, otiia kaua e motuhia rawatia.

You must bring them to the priest. First he will offer one of them to be an offering for your sin. He will wring/twist its neck [to kill it], but he must not pull off its head completely.

9 Na ka tauhiuhi ai ia i tetahi wahi o nga toto o te whakahere hara ki te taha o te aata; ka whakate ai i te toenga o te toto ki te turanga o te aata: he whakahere hara tena.

Then he must sprinkle some of the blood against the side of the altar. The remaining blood must be drained out at the base of the altar. That will be an offering for your sin.

10 A ko te rua me tuku hei tahunga tinana, kia rite ki te tikanga: a ka whakamarie to tohunga mona, mo tona hara i hara ai, a ka murua.

The priest will then do what I have commanded and offer the other bird to be completely burned [on the altar]. Then you will no longer be guilty for the sin you have committed, and Yahweh will forgive you.

11 A, ki te kahore e taea e ia i ona rawa te kawe nga kukupa e rua, nga pi kukupa ranei e rua, na me kawe tana whakahere e te tangata i hara, te whakatekau epa paraoa, hei whakahere hara; kaua e meatia ki te hinu, kaua ano e meatia he parakihe ki r unga: he whakahere hara hoki.

However, if you [are very poor and] cannot afford two doves or two young pigeons, you must bring to be an offering for your sin (2 pounds/1 kg.) of fine flour. You must not put olive oil or incense on it, because it is an offering for sin.

12 Na me kawe e ia ki te tohunga, a ka aohia ake e te tohunga, kia ki tona ringa, he whakamahara no taua mea, ka tahu ai ki runga ki te aata, ki runga ki nga whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa: he whakahere hara tena.

You must take it to the priest. He will take a handful of it, to symbolize that the whole offering truly belongs to Yahweh, and burn it on the altar, on top of the other offerings.

13 A ka whakamarie te tohunga mona, mo tona hara i hara ai ki tetahi o enei mea, a ka murua: a ma te tohunga te toenga, ano he whakahere totokore.

And by doing that, the priest will enable you to no longer be guilty for any of the sins that you have committed, and you will be forgiven. The part of the offering that is not burned will belong to the priest, like was true for the offerings made from grain.”

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

Yahweh also said to Moses/me,

15 Ki te kino te mahi a tetahi, he hara pohehe, ki nga mea tapu a Ihowa; na, me kawe e ia tana whakahere mo te he ki a Ihowa, kia kotahi hipi toa, hei te mea kohakore, no te kahui hipi, me whakarite ano e koe ona utu ki te hekere hiriwa, hekere o t e wahi tapu, hei whakahere mo te he:

“When you sin, without intending to, by not giving to Yahweh the things that you are required to give to him, you must pay a penalty by bringing to Yahweh a ram that has no defects. You must determine how much silver it is worth, by using the official standard in the temple. It will be an offering to cause you to no longer be guilty.

16 Ka utu ai i tona hara ki te mea tapu, me tapiri ano ki te wahi whakarima, ka homai ki te tohunga: a ka whakamarie te tohunga mona ki te hipi toa e whakaherea ana mo te he, a ka murua tona.

But you must also make restitution for what you failed to give to Yahweh, adding one-fifth of its value. You must give that to the priest. He will offer the ram as a sacrifice for the sin that you have committed, and cause you to no longer be guilty; and you will be forgiven.

17 A ki te hara tetahi, ki te poka ke i tetahi o nga whakahau a Ihowa, he mahi poka noa; ahakoa e kore e mohiotia e ia, kua hara ia, a ka waha ia i tona kino.

If you sin by doing something that is forbidden by any of Yahweh’s commands, even if you do not know that you have disobeyed one of my commands, you are guilty and must pay a penalty [to me].

18 A me kawe e ia he hipi toa ki te tohunga, he kohakore, no te kahui, kei tau te utu, hei whakahere mo te he: a ka whakamarie te tohunga mona, mo tona pohehe i pohehe ai ia, a kihai nei i matau, a ka murua tona he.

[When you realize what you have done], you must bring a ram to the Supreme Priest to be an offering in order that you will no longer be guilty. You must bring one that has no defects. He will offer the ram to be a sacrifice to me, and as a result you will no longer be guilty for the sin that you have committed, and you will be forgiven.

19 He whakahere tena mo te he: he pono tona he ki a Ihowa.

It is an offering to cause you to no longer be guilty for sinning against me.”
