Tauanga 15

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

The Lord told Moses,

2 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, E tae koutou ki te whenua e noho ai koutou, ki taku e hoatu ai ki a koutou,

“Tell the Israelites, ‘These are instructions about what you are to do once you arrive in the country I'm giving you to live in.

3 A ka mea i te whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa, i te tahunga tinana, i te patunga tapu ranei hei whakamana mo te ki taurangi, i te whakahere tuku noa ranei, i a koutou hakari nunui ranei, hei whakakakara reka ki a Ihowa, he mea no nga kau, no nga hipi ra nei:

When you bring an offering to the Lord from your herd or flock (whether it's a burnt offering, a sacrifice to fulfill a promise you made, or a freewill or festival offering) that will be acceptable to the Lord,

4 Na me kawe mai tana whakahere e te kaiwhakahere ki a Ihowa he whakahere totokore, ko te whakatekau o te epa o te paraoa pai, he mea konatunatu ki te whakawha o te hine hinu:

then you shall also present a grain offering of one tenth of an ephah of best flour mixed with a quarter hin of olive oil.

5 Kia rite mai ano i a koe te whakawha o te hine waina, hei ringihanga, hei kinaki mo te tahunga tinana, mo te patunga tapu ranei, mo te reme kotahi.

Add a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering to the burn offering or the sacrifice of a lamb.

6 Ki te mea he hipi toa, kia rite i a koe hei whakahere totokore nga whakatekau e rua o te epa o te paraoa pai, he mea konatunatu ki te whakatoru o te hine nihu.

When it comes to a ram, present a grain offering of two tenths of an ephah of best flour mixed with a third of a hin of olive oil,

7 Me whakahere ano e koe te whakatoru o te hine waina hei ringihanga, hei kakara reka ki a Ihowa.

along with a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, all of them to be acceptable to the Lord.

8 A ka mea koe i te puru hei tahunga tinana, hei patunga tapu ranei, hei whakamana i te kupu taurangi, hei whakahere ranei mo te pai ki a Ihowa:

When you bring a young bull as a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a promise you made or as a peace offering to the Lord,

9 Na me kawe tahi ano e ia me te puru, hei whakahere totokore, kia toru nga whakatekau o te epa o te paraoa pai, he mea konatunatu ki te hawhe o te hine hinu.

then you shall also with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of the best flour mixed with half a hin of olive oil.

10 Me kawe ano e koe te hawhe o te hine waina hei ringihanga, hei whakahere ahi, hei kakara reka ki a Ihowa.

Add a half a hin of wine as a drink offering. All this is an offering to be acceptable to the Lord.

11 Kia penei te meatanga mo te puru kotahi, mo te hipi toa kotahi, mo te reme toa, mo te kuao koati.

This is to be done for every bull, ram, lamb, or goat brought as an offering.

12 Kia rite ki te maha o a koutou e tuku ai ta koutou e mea ai ki te tahi, ki tetahi, kia rite tonu ki te maha o ratou.

This is what you need to do for each one, however many.

13 Kia penei te meatanga a nga tangata whenua katoa i enei mea, ina whakahere i te whakahere ahi, hei kakara reka ki a Ihowa.

Every Israelite is to follow these instructions when they present an offering that is accepted by the Lord.

14 A, ki te noho i a koe tetahi manene, tetahi noa atu ranei, i roto i a koutou i o koutou whakatupuranga, a ka mea kia whakahere i te whakahere ahi, i te kakara reka ki a Ihowa; kia rite tana e mea ai ki ta koutou e mea ai.

This also applies for all future generations that if a foreigner living among you or anyone else among you wishes to present an offering acceptable to the Lord: they are to do exactly what you do.

15 Mo te whakaminenga kia kotahi te tikanga mo koutou, mo te manene hoki e noho tahi ana me koutou, hei tikanga pumau i o koutou whakatupuranga: kia pera ano me koutou te manene i te aroaro o Ihowa.

The whole congregation must have the same rules for you and for the foreigner living among you. This is a permanent law for all future generations You and the foreigner are to be treated the same way before the law.

16 Kia kotahi ano te ture, kia kotahi ano te ritenga mo koutou, mo te manene hoki e noho ana i a koutou.

The same rules and regulations apply to you and the foreigner living among you.’”

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

Then the Lord told Moses,

18 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, E tae koutou ki te whenua e kawea nei koutou e ahau ki reira,

“Tell the Israelites, ‘When you get to the country where I'm leading you

19 Na e kai koutou i te taro o te whenua, me whakahere he whakahere hapahapai ki a Ihowa.

and you eat the food produced there, you shall give some of it as an offering to the Lord.

20 Me whakahere he keke no ta koutou paraoa pokepoke mataati hei whakahere hapahapai: kia rite ki te whakahere hapahapai o te patunga witi ta koutou hapahapai.

You are to give some of the flour you make into loaves as a gift—present it just like an offering from the threshing floor.

21 Me hoatu tetahi wahi o ta koutou pokepokenga mataati ki a Ihowa, hei whakahere hapahapai, puta noa i o koutou whakatupuranga.

For all future generations, you are to give the Lord an offering from the first of your flour.

22 A ki te mea kua pohehe koutou, a kihai i rite enei whakahau katoa i korerotia nei e Ihowa ki a Mohi,

Now if you collectively sin without meaning to and don't follow all these instructions that the Lord has given Moses—

23 Ara nga mea katoa i whakahaua ai koutou e Ihowa, i korerotia e Mohi, o te ra ano i whakahau ai a Ihowa a tuku iho ki o koutou whakatupuranga;

everything that the Lord has ordered you to do through Moses from the time that the Lord gave them and for all future generations—

24 Ko reira, ki te meatia tetahi mea, he pohehe hoki, e ngaro ana i nga kanohi o te whakaminenga, na me whakahere e te whakaminenga katoa tetahi puru kuao hei tahunga tinana, hei kakara reka ki a Ihowa, me tona whakahere totokore, me tona ringihang a; kia rite ki te tikanga, kia kotahi hoki koati toa hei whakahere hara.

and if it was done unintentionally without everyone knowing about it, then the whole congregation is to present a young bull as a burnt offering to be accepted by the Lord, along with its grain offering and drink offering presented according to the rules, as well as a male goat as a sin offering.

25 A ka whakamarie te tohunga mo te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, a ka murua to ratou he; he pohehe hoki: a me kawe ta ratou whakahere, hei whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa, me ta ratou whakahere hara ki te aroaro o Ihowa, mo to ratou pohehe:

In this way the priest is to make the whole congregation of Israel right with the Lord so that they can be forgiven, because the sin was unintentional and they have presented the Lord with an burnt offering and a sin offering, offered before the Lord for their unintentional sin.

26 A ka murua taua he o te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, o te manene ano e noho ana i a ratou: no te mea i pohehe katoa te iwi.

Then the whole congregation of Israel and the foreigners living among them will be forgiven, because the people sinned unintentionally.

27 Ki te pohehe ano tetahi wairua, a ka hara, na me kawe mai e ia he koati uha, hei te tau tahi, hei whakahere hara.

In the case of an individual who sins without meaning to—they are to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering.

28 A me whakamarie te tohunga mo te wairua i hara pohehe, ina hara pohehe ia, ki te aroaro o Ihowa, hei whakamarie mona; a ka murua tana.

The priest will make the person who sinned unintentionally right before the Lord their behalf. Once they have been made right, they will be forgiven.

29 Kia kotahi ano ta koutou ture mo te tangata i hara pohehe, mo te tangata whenua o nga tama a Iharaira raua ko te manene e noho ana i a ratou.

You shall apply the same law for the one who mistakenly sins to an Israelite or a foreigner living among you.

30 Ko te wairua ia i whakakake, ahakoa tangata whenua, manene ranei, he kohukohu tana i a Ihowa; a ka hatepea atu taua wairua i roto i tona iwi.

But the person who sins in defiance, whether an Israelite or foreigner, is blaspheming the Lord. They shall be expelled from their people.

31 I whakahawea ia ki te kupu a Ihowa, i whakataka hoki i tana whakahau; ka tino hatepea atu taua wairua; ka mau tona kino ki a ia.

They have to be expelled, because they have treated the word of the Lord with contempt and broken his commandment. They are responsible for the consequences of their own guilt.’”

32 A, i nga tama a Iharaira i te koraha, ka kitea tetahi tangata e kohikohi rakau ana i te ra hapati.

During the time the Israelites were wandering in the desert, a man was caught collecting firewood on the Sabbath.

33 Na ka kawea ia e nga tangata, i kite ra i a ia e kohikohi ana i nga rakau, ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, a ki te whakaminenga katoa.

The people who found him collecting wood brought him before Moses, Aaron, and the rest of the Israelites.

34 Na hoatu ana ia e ratou kia tiakina, no te mea kahore ano i whakaaturia me aha ia.

They placed him under guard because it wasn't clear what should happen to him.

35 A ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, me whakamate rawa tena tangata: ma te whakaminenga katoa ia e aki ki te kohatu ki waho o te puni.

The Lord told Moses, “This man has to be executed. All the Israelites are to stone him outside the camp.”

36 Na kawea ana ia e te whakaminenga katoa ki waho o te puni, a akina ana ki te kohatu, a ka mate: pera me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.

So they all took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death as the Lord had ordered Moses.

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

Sometime later the Lord told Moses,

38 Koreroki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou kia hanga etahi taniko mo ratou, mo nga taha o o ratou kakahu, puta noa i o ratou whakatupuranga, kia karapitia hoki te taniko o te pito ki te miro puru:

“Tell the Israelites that for all future generations you must make tassels for the hems of your clothes and attach them with blue cord.

39 A hei taniko tena mo koutou, hei titiro iho ma koutou, na ka mahara ki nga whakahau katoa a Ihowa, a ka mahi; kei rapu koutou i ta o koutou ngakau, i ta o koutou kanohi, ara i nga mea e whaia atu nei, e puremutia atu nei e koutou:

When you look at these tassels you will be reminded to keep all the commandments of the Lord and not be unfaithful, following your own thoughts and desires.

40 Kia mahara ai koutou ki te mahi i aku whakahau katoa, kia tapu ai hoki ki to koutou Atua.

In this way you'll remember to keep all my commandments and you will be holy to your God. I am the Lord your God who led you out of Egypt to be your God.

41 Ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua i kawe mai nei a koutou i te whenua o Ihipa, kia waiho ai ahau hei Atua mo koutou: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

I am the Lord your God!”
