Rewitikuha 9

1 A i te waru o nga ra ka karangatia e Mohi a Arona ratou ko ana tama, ko nga kaumatua o Iharaira;

Eight days later, Moses/I summoned the elders of Israel.

2 A ka mea ia ki a Arona, Tikina tetahi kuao kau mau, hei whakahere hara, me tetahi hipi toa hei tahunga tinana, hei te mea kohakore, ka whakahere ai ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

Then he/I said to Aaron, “Take a young bull for the offering to enable you leaders to be forgiven for the sins you have committed, and a ram to be completely burned [on the altar], both of them without any defects, and offer them to Yahweh.

3 A me korero koe ki nga tama a Iharaira, me ki atu, Tikina he koati toa ma koutou hei whakahere hara; me tetahi kuao kau, me tetahi reme, hei te tautahi, hei te mea kohakore, hei tahunga tinana;

Then say to the Israeli people, ‘Take one male goat for the offering to enable you all to be forgiven for the sins you have committed. Also take a calf and a lamb that have no defects, to be an offering completely burned [on the altar].

4 Me tetahi puru, me tetahi hipi toa hei whakahere mo te pai, hei patunga tapu ki te aroaro o Ihowa; me tetahi whakahere totokore, hei te mea konatu ki te hinu: ko aianei hoki a Ihowa puta mai ai ki a koutou.

Also take an ox and a ram to be an offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh], along with an offering of flour mixed with olive oil. Do this because today Yahweh is going to appear to you.’”

5 Na ka kawea e ratou ta Mohi i whakahau ai ki te roro o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga; a ka whakatata katoa te whakaminenga, ka tu hoki ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

[After Moses/I told this to the Israeli people, some of them] took the things that Moses/I had commanded them to take, and went to the courtyard in front of the Sacred Tent. Then all the people came near and stood in front of Yahweh.

6 Na ka mea a Mohi, Ko te mea tenei i whakahaua mai nei e Ihowa kia meatia e koutou: a ka puta mai te kororia o Ihowa ki a koutou.

Then Moses/I said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded you to do, in order that his glory will appear to you.”

7 A ka mea a Mohi ki a Arona, Whakatata ki te aata, mahia tau whakahere hara, me tau tahunga tinana, ka whakamarie ai mou, mo te iwi hoki: ka whakahere atu ai hoki i te whakahere a te iwi, ka whakamarie ai mo ratou, ko ta Ihowa hoki i whakahau ai.

Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “Come to the altar and sacrifice the animal that is your offering to enable you to be forgiven for the sins you have committed, and the animal that will be completely burned there. Because of those offerings, God will forgive you and the people for the sins that you have committed [DOU]. Do those things that Yahweh has commanded.”

8 Na ka hae a Arona ki te aata, a patua ana e ia te kuao kau, te whakahere hara, te mea hoki mona.

So Aaron came close to the altar and slaughtered the calf to be an offering for his sins.

9 A ka kawea e nga tama a Arona te toto ki a ia: a ka toua e ia tona maihao ki te toto, a pania ana ki nga haona o te aata, ringihia ana hoki te toto e ia ki te turanga o te aata:

His sons brought its blood to him [in a bowl]. He dipped his finger into the blood and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

10 Ko te ngako ia, me nga whatukuhu, me te taupa i te ate o te whakahere hara, i tahuna e ia ki runga ki te aata; ko ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.

He/I burned the fat, including that which covered the kidneys and the liver, as Yahweh had commanded him/me.

11 A ko te kikokiko hoki, me te hiako, I tahuna e ia ki te ahi i waho o te puni.

Then Aaron burned [the rest of] the meat and the hide/skin outside the camp.

12 A patua ana e ia te tahunga tinana; a ka homai e nga tama a Arona te toto ki a ia, a, tauhiuhia ana e ia ki te aata a tawhio noa.

Then Aaron slaughtered the animal that would be completely burned [on the altar]. His sons handed him [the bowl containing] its blood, and he sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.

13 Na ka homai e ratou te tahunga tinana ki a ia, tena tapahanga, tena tapahanga, me te pane; a tahuna ana e ia ki runga ki te aata.

Then they handed him the head and the pieces of the animal that would be burned, and he burned them on the altar.

14 A i horoia ano e ia nga whekau me nga waewae, a tahuna ana ki runga ki te tahunga tinana ki runga ki te aata.

He washed the inner parts and the legs of the animal, and burned them on the altar, on top of the other pieces of the animal.

15 I kawea ano e ia te whakahere a te iwi, a ka mau ki te koati, ki te whakahere hara mo te iwi, a patua ana e ia, whakaherea ana hoki mo te hara; i peratia ano me te tuatahi.

Then Aaron brought the animals that would be sacrifices for the Israeli people. He took the goat and slaughtered it to be an offering to enable them to be forgiven for the sins they had committed, like he had done with the goat for his own offering.

16 I kawea ano e ia te tahunga tinana, a mahia ana e ia, peratia ana i to te tikanga.

Then he brought the animal for the offering to be completely burned. He slaughtered it and offered it in the way that Yahweh had commanded him to do.

17 I kawea ano e ia te whakahere totokore, a aohia ana tetahi wahi e ia, ki tonu te ringa, a tahuna ana ki runga ki te aata, hei tapiri mo te tahunga tinana o te ata.

He also brought the offering of grain. He took a handful of it and burned it on the altar, like he had done for the animal that he had slaughtered and completely burned [on the altar] in the morning.

18 I patua ano hoki e ia te puru, me te hipi toa, hei patunga mo te pai mo te iwi: a ka homai e nga tama a Arona te toto ki a ia, a tauhiuhia ana e ia ki te aata a tawhio noa,

Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram, to be an offering for the Israeli people to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. His sons handed him [the bowl containing] the blood, and he sprinkled the blood against all sides of the altar.

19 Me te ngako o te puru; a o te hipi toa, ko te hiawero momona, me te whiwhiwhiwhi o nga whekau, me nga whatukuhu, me te taupa i te ate:

But he took the fat from the ox and the ram, including their fat tails that were cut close to the backbone, and all the fat that covered the livers and the kidneys.

20 A i maka iho e ratou nga ngako ki runga ki nga uma, a tahuna ana e ia nga ngako ki runga ki te aata:

He put them on top of the breasts of those animals and carried them to the altar to be burned.

21 I poipoia ano e Arona nga uma me te huha matau hei whakahere poipoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa; i peratia ano me ta Mohi i whakahau ai.

Then, doing what Moses/I had commanded, he lifted up in front of Yahweh the breast and the right thigh of those animals, to signify that those two animals completely belonged to Yahweh.

22 Katahi ka whakarewaina atu e Arona ona ringa ki te iwi, a manaakitia iho ratou e ia; na ka heke iho ia i te meatanga i te whakahere hara, i te tahunga tinana, i nga whakahere mo te pai.

Then Aaron lifted his arms toward the people and [asked Yahweh to] bless them. Then having finished making all those offerings, he stepped down [from the place where the altar was].

23 Na ka haere a Mohi raua ko Arona ki roto ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, a ka puta mai ano, ka manaaki hoki i te iwi: na, ka puta mai te kororia o Ihowa ki te iwi katoa.

Then Aaron and Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent. When they/we later came out, they/we [asked Yahweh to] bless the people. And suddenly the glory/brightness of Yahweh appeared to all the people.

24 I puta mai ano he ahi i te aroaro o Ihowa, a pau ake te tahunga tinana, me nga ngako, i runga i te aata: a, no te kitenga o te iwi katoa, ka hamama ratou, a kupapa ana ki raro.

A fire from Yahweh appeared and burned up the offering that was to be completely burned and the fat that was on the altar. And when all the people saw that, they shouted joyfully and prostrated themselves on the ground [to worship Yahweh].
