Rewitikuha 1

1 Na ka karanga a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka korero ki a ia i roto i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ka mea,

And the Lord called Moses, and spoke to him from the tabernacle of the testimony, saying:

2 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, Ki te kawea e tetahi tangata o koutou he whakahere ki a Ihowa, me kawe ta koutou whakahere i roto i nga kararehe, ara i roto i nga kau, i roto ranei i nga hipi.

Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man among you that shall offer to the Lord a sacrifice of the cattle, that is, offering victims of oxen and sheep,

3 Ki te mea he tahunga tinana tana whakahere no nga kau, me tapae e ia he toa, he kohakore: ka tuku ai ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, hei mea e manakohia ai ia i te aroaro o Ihowa.

If his offering be a holocaust, and of the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish, at the door of the testimony, to make the Lord favourable to him:

4 A me popoki tona ringa ki te pane o te tahunga tinana; a ka manakohia tana, hei whakamarie mona.

And he shall put his hand upon the head of the victim, and it shall be acceptable, and help to its expiation.

5 Na me patu te kau ki te aroaro o Ihowa: a me kawe te toto e nga tohunga, e nga tama a Arona, me tauhiuhi te toto ki te aata a tawhio noa, ki tera i te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.

And he shall immolate the calf before the Lord, and the priests the sons of Aaron shall offer the blood thereof, pouring it round about the altar, which is before the door of the tabernacle.

6 Na me tihore e ia te tahunga tinana, a me tapatapahi tenei wahi ona, tenei wahi ona.

And when they have flayed the victim, they shall cut the joints into pieces,

7 Na me maka he ahi e nga tama a Arona tohunga ki runga ki te aata, me whakapai hoki nga wahie ki runga ki te ahi:

And shall put fire on the altar, having before laid in order a pile of wood:

8 Na ka whakararangi ai nga tohunga, nga tama a Arona, i nga pihi, te pane me te ngako, ki nga wahie o te ahi i te aata.

And they shall lay the parts that are cut out in order thereupon, to wit, the head, and all things that cleave to the liver,

9 Ko ona whekau ia, me ona waewae, me horoi ki te wai, ka tahu katoa ai te tohunga ki runga ki te aata hei tahunga tinana, hei whakahere ahi, hei kakara reka ki a Ihowa.

The entrails and feet being washed with water: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar for a holocaust, and a sweet savour to the Lord.

10 Na, no te kahui tana whakahere no nga hipi, no nga koati ranei, hei tahunga tinana; me kawe e ia he toa, he mea kohakore,

And if the offering be of the hocks, a holocaust of sheep or of goats, he shall offer a male without blemish:

11 Ka patu ai ki te taha ki te raki o te aata, ki te aroaro o Ihowa: a ma nga tohunga, ma nga tama a Arona, e tauhiuhi ona toto ki te aata a tawhio noa.

And he shall immolate it at the side of the altar that looketh to the north, before the Lord: but the sons of Aaron shall pour the blood thereof upon the altar round about:

12 Na ka tapatapahi ai ia he wahi, he wahi, tona pane, tona ngako; a ma te tohunga e whakararangi ki nga wahie o te ahi i runga i te aata:

And they shall divide the joints, the head, and all that cleave to the liver: and shall lay them upon the wood, under which the fire is to be put:

13 Ko nga whekau ia, me nga waewae, me horoi ki te wai: a ka kawe katoa ai te tohunga, ka tahu ai ki te aata: he tahunga tinana hoki, he whakahere ahi, he kakara reka ki a Ihowa.

But the entrails and the feet they shall wash with water. And the priest shall offer it all and burn it all upon the altar for a holocaust, and most sweet savour to the Lord.

14 Na, mehemea he tahunga tinana no nga manu tana whakahere ki a Ihowa, na me kawe e ia tana whakahere i roto i nga kukupa, i roto ranei i nga pi kukupa.

But if the oblation of a holocaust to the Lord be of birds, of turtles, or of young pigeons,

15 A ma te tohunga e kawe ki te aata, e whakawiri atu tona pane, ka tahu ai ki runga ki te aata; a ko ona toto me tuku kia heke ki te taha o te aata:

The priest shall offer it at the altar: and twisting back the neck, and breaking the place of the wound, he shall make the blood run down upon the brim of the altar.

16 A ko tona puku me tona paru me tango, a ka maka ki te taha ki te rawhiti o te aata, ki te wahi o nga pungarehu:

But the crop of the throat, and the feathers he shall cast beside the altar at the east side, in the place where the ashes are wont to be poured out,

17 Na me hahae e ia ma ona parirau, otiia kaua e motuhia rawatia; a ma te tohunga e tahu ki runga ki te aata, ki nga wahie o te ahi: he tahunga tinana tena, he whakahere ahi, he kakara reka ki a Ihowa.

And he shall break the pinions thereof, and shall not cut, nor divide it with a knife, and shall burn it upon the altar, putting fire under the wood. It is a holocaust and oblation of most sweet savour to the Lord.
