Tauanga 15

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

Then Yahweh told Moses/me,

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 this to the Israeli people: When you arrive in the land that I am giving to you,

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:

you must offer to me special sacrifices which will be pleasing to me [when the priest burns them on the altar]. Some of them may be offerings that will be completely burned [on the altar]. Some of them may be to indicate that you have made a solemn promise to me. Some of them may be offerings that you yourselves have decided to make. Some of them may be offerings at one of the festivals that you celebrate each year. These offerings may be taken from your herds [of cattle] or from your flocks [of sheep and goats].

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:

When you give these offerings, you must also bring to me a grain offering of two quarts/liters of nice flour mixed with one quart/liter 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.

When you offer a lamb to be a sacrifice to be completely burned, you must also pour on the altar one quart/liter of wine.

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 you offer a ram to be a sacrifice, you must also bring an offering of four quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with (a third of a gallon/1.3 liters) of [olive] oil.

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

And also pour on the altar (a third of a gallon/1.3 liters) of wine. While they are being burned, the smell will be very pleasing to me.

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:

‘Sometimes you will offer a young bull to be completely burned on the altar. Sometimes you will offer a sacrifice to indicate that you have made a solemn promise to me. Sometimes you will offer a sacrifice to maintain fellowship with me.

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.

When you offer these sacrifices, you must also offer a grain offering of six quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with two quarts/liters 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.

Also pour on the altar two quarts/liters of wine to be an offering. While those special gifts are being burned, the smell will be very pleasing to me.

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

Each time someone offers a bull or a ram or a male lamb or a young goat to be a sacrifice, it must be done that way.

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.

You must obey these instructions for each animal that you bring to me for an offering.

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.

‘All of you people who have been Israelis all of your lives must obey these regulations when you offer sacrifices that will be pleasing to me when they are burned on the altar.

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.

If any foreigners visit you or live among you, if they also want to bring a sacrifice that will be pleasing to me when it is burned on the altar, they must obey these same instructions.

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.

I consider that those who have always been Israelis and those who are foreigners are equal, and so they must all obey the same instructions. All of your descendants must also continue to obey these instructions.

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

You Israelis and the foreigners who live among you must all obey the same instructions.”

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

Yahweh also said to Moses/me,

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 these instructions to the Israeli people: [Yahweh says this]: ‘When you arrive in the land to which I am taking you,

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

and you eat the crops that are growing there, you must set some of them aside to be a sacred offering to me.

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.

[Each year] set aside some of the first grain that you gather after you have threshed it. Bake a loaf of bread from the first flour that you grind and bring it to me to be a sacred offering.

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

Every year, you and your descendants must continue to make and bring to me [a loaf of bread baked] [MTY] [with flour] from the first part of the grain that you harvest.’”

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

“‘There may be times when you Israelis do not obey all these instructions that I have given to Moses to tell you, but not because you intended to disobey them.

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;

There may be times when some of your descendants do not obey all these instructions that I have given to Moses to tell to you.

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.

If you or they sin [by forgetting to obey these instructions] and none of the Israeli people realize that they were doing that, one young bull as an offering for all the people [must be brought to the priest]. That will be pleasing to me [when it is burned on the altar]. They must also bring to me a grain offering and an offering of wine, and a male goat, to be sacrificed to enable me to forgive them for the sins they have committed.

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:

[By offering these sacrifices], the priest will make atonement for all of you Israeli people. Then, as a result of their bringing to me an offering to be burned [on the altar], (you will be forgiven/I will forgive you), because you sinned without realizing that you were sinning.

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.

You Israeli people and the foreigners who are living among you will all be forgiven.

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.

If one person commits a sin without realizing that he was sinning, that person must bring to me a female goat to be an offering to enable me to forgive that person for the sins that person has committed.

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 offer it to be a sacrifice to remove the guilt of that person, and that person 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 Israelis and all the foreigners who live among you must obey these same instructions.

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 those who disobey my commands (deliberately/because they want to), both Israelis and the foreigners who live among you, have sinned against me [by doing that]. So (they must be expelled/you must expel them) from your camp.

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 despised my commands and deliberately disobeyed them, so they must be punished for their sin by not being allowed to live among you any more.’”

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

One day, while the Israelis were in the desert, some of them saw a man who was gathering firewood on the Sabbath/rest day.

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.

Those who saw him doing that brought him to Aaron and Moses/me and the rest of the Israeli people.

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

They guarded him carefully, because they did not know what to do [to punish] 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.

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The man must be executed. All of you must [kill him by throwing] stones at 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 killed him by throwing stones at him, as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me that they should do.

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

Yahweh also said to Moses/me,

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 this to the Israeli people: You and all your descendants must [twist threads together to] make tassels, and then attach them with blue cords to the bottom edges of your clothes.

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 the tassels, you will remember all the instructions that I gave to you, and you will obey them, instead of doing what you desire and as a result causing yourselves to become unacceptable to me.

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

Seeing those tassels will help you to remember that you must obey all my commands and that you must be (my holy people/dedicated to me).

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.

Do not forget that I am Yahweh, your God. I am the one who brought you out of Egypt in order that you might belong to me. I am Yahweh, your God.”
