Tauanga 18

1 I mea ano a Ihowa ki a Arona, Mau, ma au tama, ma koutou ko te whare o tou papa e waha te kino o te wahi tapu: a ma koutou ko au tama e waha te kino o ta koutou mahi tohunga.

And the Lord said to Aaron, You and your sons and your father's family are to be responsible for all wrongdoing in relation to the holy place: and you and your sons are to be responsible for the errors which come about in your work as priests.

2 A ko ou teina hoki, o te iwi o Riwai, o te iwi o tou papa, me whakatata tahi me koe, kia tapiritia ai ratou ki a koe, hei minita ki a koe: ko koutou tahi ia ko au tama hei te tapenakara o te whakaaturanga.

Let your brothers, the family of Levi, come near with you, so that they may be joined with you and be your servants: but you and your sons with you are to go in before the ark of witness.

3 A ma ratou tau mahi e tiaki, me te mahi tiaki o te tapenakara katoa: otiia kaua e whakatata ki nga oko o te wahi tapu, ki te aata ranei, kei mate ko ratou, ko koutou ranei.

They are to do your orders and be responsible for the work of the Tent; but they may not come near the vessels of the holy place or the altar, so that death may not overtake them or you.

4 A ka tapiritia ratou ki a koe, hei tiaki i nga mea o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, mo nga mahi katoa o te tapenakara: kaua hoki te tangata ke e tata ki a koutou.

They are to be joined with you in the care of the Tent of meeting, doing whatever is needed for the Tent: and no one of any other family may come near you.

5 Ma koutou hoki e tiaki nga mea o te wahi tapu, me nga mea o te aata; kei puta he riri ki nga tama a Iharaira a muri ake nei.

You are to be responsible for the holy place and the altar, so that wrath may never again come on the children of Israel.

6 Me ahau hoki, nana, kua tango ahau i o koutou teina, i nga Riwaiti i roto i nga tama a Iharaira: he mea hoatu ki a koutou ma Ihowa, hei mahi i nga mahi o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.

Now, see, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of Israel: they are given to you and to the Lord, to do the work of the Tent of meeting.

7 Ko koutou ia ko au tama, kia mau ki ta koutou mahi tohunga ki nga mea katoa o te aata, o roto atu ano hoki i te arai, hei mahi ma koutou: he mea hoatu noa atu ta koutou mahi tohunga e hoatu nei e ahau: a ka whakamatea te tangata ke e whakatata ma i ana.

And you and your sons with you are to be responsible as priests for the altar and everything on it, and everything inside the veil; you are to do the work of priests; I have given you your position as priests; and any other man who comes near will be put to death.

8 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Arona, Na kua tukua atu nei e ahau ki a koe te tiaki o aku whakahere hapahapai, o nga mea tapu katoa a nga tama a Iharaira; he mea hoatu naku ki a koutou ko au tama, he whakaaro hoki ki te whakawahinga, he tikanga pumau.

And the Lord said to Aaron, See, I have given into your care my lifted offerings; even all the holy things of the children of Israel I have given to you and to your sons as your right for ever, because you have been marked with the holy oil.

9 Ko nga mea tenei mau o nga mea tino tapu e kore nei e tukua ki te ahi: ko a ratou whakahere katoa, ko a ratou whakahere totokore katoa, me a ratou whakahere hara katoa, me a ratou whakahere katoa mo te he, e tapaea ki ahau; ka tino tapu ma koutou ko au tama.

This is to be yours of the most holy things, out of the fire offerings; every offering of theirs, every meal offering and sin-offering, and every offering which they make on account of error, is to be most holy for you and your sons.

10 Hei te wahi tino tapu kai ai, ma nga tane katoa e kai: he tapu tena mau.

As most holy things they are to be your food: let every male have them for food; it is to be holy to you.

11 Mau ano tenei; ko nga whakahere hapahapai e homai ana e ratou me nga whakahere poipoi katoa a nga tama a Iharaira: kua hoatu aua mea e ahau ki a koe, ki a koutou ko au tama, ko au tamahine, he tikanga pumau: e kainga tena e nga mea pokekore kato a o tou whare.

And this is yours: the lifted offering which they give and all the wave offerings of the children of Israel I have given to you and to your sons and to your daughters as your right for ever: everyone in your house who is clean may have them for food.

12 Ko nga wahi papai katoa o te hinu, me nga wahi papai katoa o te waina, o te witi hoki, ko nga tuapora o aua mea e homai ana ki a Ihowa, kua hoatu ena e ahau ki a koe.

All the best of the oil and the wine and the grain, the first-fruits of them which they give to the Lord, to you have I given them.

13 Mau nga hua mataati o nga mea katoa o te whenua, e kawea mai ana ki a Ihowa; me kai e nga mea pokekore katoa o tou whare.

The earliest produce from their land which they take to the Lord is to be yours; everyone in your house who is clean may have it for his food.

14 Mau nga mea katoa i oti rawa i roto i a Iharaira.

Everything given by oath to the Lord in Israel is to be yours.

15 Ko nga mea katoa e oroko puta mai ana i te kopu o nga kikokiko katoa, ko nga mea hoki e whakaherea ana ma Ihowa, o te tangata, o te kararehe, mau ena: otiia me tino whakahoki atu e koe ki te utu nga matamua a te tangata, me tango utu ano mo nga matamua a te kararehe poke.

The first birth of every living thing which is offered to the Lord, of man or beast, is to be yours; but for the first sons of man payment is to be made, and for the first young of unclean beasts.

16 A, ko nga mea e utua ana e whakahokia ana, ka kotahi marama o tona whanautanga, me tango ona utu; kia rite ki tau e whakarite ai, kia rima hekere nga moni: hei nga hekere wahi tapu, e rua tekau nei nga kera.

Payment is to be made for these when they are a month old, at the value fixed by you, a price of five shekels by the scale of the holy place, that is, twenty gerahs to the shekel.

17 Ko te matamua ia a te kau, me te matamua a te hipi, me te matamua a te koati, kaua e whakahokia atu e koe; he tapu ena: me tauhi e koe o ratou toto ki te aata, me tahu ano o ratou ngako hei whakahere ahi, hei kakara reka ki a Ihowa.

But no such payment may be made for the first birth of an ox or a sheep or a goat; these are holy: their blood is to be dropped on the altar, and their fat burned for an offering made by fire, a sweet smell to the Lord.

18 A mau o ratou kikokiko, ka pera me te uma poipoi, me te huha matau, nau hoki ena.

Their flesh is to be yours; like the breast of the wave offering and the right leg, it is to be yours.

19 Ko nga whakahere hapahapai katoa o roto o nga mea tapu e tapaea ana e nga tama a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, kua hoatu e ahau ki a koutou ko au tama, ko au tamahine; hei tikanga pumau: hei kawenata tote i te aroaro o Ihowa ake ake, ki a koutou tahi ko ou uri.

All the lifted offerings of the holy things which the children of Israel give to the Lord, I have given to you and to your sons and to your daughters as a right for ever. This is an agreement made with salt before the Lord, to you and to your seed for ever.

20 A i korero a Ihowa ki a Arona, Kahore he kainga tupu mou i to ratou whenua, kahore ano hoki he wahi mou i roto i a ratou: ko ahau te wahi mou, tou kainga tupu i roto i nga tama a Iharaira.

And the Lord said to Aaron, You will have no heritage in their land, or any part among them; I am your part and your heritage among the children of Israel.

21 Kua hoatu nei hoki e ahau ki nga tama a Riwai nga whakatekau katoa i roto i a Iharaira hei taonga tupu, hei utu mo ta ratou mahi e mahi ai ratou, mo te mahinga i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.

And to the children of Levi I have given as their heritage all the tenths offered in Israel, as payment for the work they do, the work of the Tent of meeting.

22 Kaua ano hoki nga tama a Iharaira e whakatata a muri ake nei ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, kei whai hara, kei mate.

In future the children of Israel are not to come near the Tent of meeting, so that death may not come to them because of sin.

23 Ma nga Riwaiti ia e mahi nga mahi o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me waha ano hoki e ratou to ratou kino; hei tikanga pumau ia ma o koutou whakatupuranga, kia kahore he kainga tupu mo ratou i roto i nga tama a Iharaira.

But the Levites are to do the work of the Tent of meeting, and be responsible for errors in connection with it: this is a law for ever through all your generations; and among the children of Israel they will have no heritage.

24 Ko nga whakatekau hoki a nga tama a Iharaira, e tapaea nei hei whakahere hapahapai ki a Ihowa, kua hoatu e ahau hei wahi tupu ki nga Riwaiti; koia ahau i mea ai ki a ratou, e kore ratou e whai kainga tupu i roto i nga tama a Iharaira.

For the tenths which the children of Israel give as a lifted offering to the Lord I have given to the Levites as their heritage. and so I have said to them, Among the children of Israel they will have no heritage.

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

And the Lord said to Moses,

26 Korero ano ki nga Riwaiti, mea atu ki a ratou, Ka tangohia e koutou nga whakatekau a nga tama a Iharaira e hoatu nei e ahau ki a koutou i roto i a ratou mea hei wahi tupu mo koutou, me tapae he whakahere hapahapai ki a Ihowa i roto i taua mea, h e wahi whakatekau o aua whakatekau.

Say to the Levites, When you take from the children of Israel the tenth which I have given to you from them as your heritage, a tenth part of that tenth is to be offered as an offering lifted up before the Lord.

27 A ka kiia tenei whakahere hapahapai he mea na koutou, he pera me te witi o te patunga witi, me te purenatanga hoki o te poka waina.

And this lifted offering is to be put to your credit as if it was grain from the grain-floor and wine from the vines.

28 Na me tapae ano hoki e koutou he whakahere hapahapai ki a Ihowa i roto i a koutou whakatekau katoa e tangohia ana e koutou i nga tama a Iharaira; me homai te whakahere hapahapai a Ihowa i roto i taua mea ki te tohunga, ki a Arona.

So you are to make an offering lifted up to the Lord from all the tenths which you get from the children of Israel, giving out of it the Lord's lifted offering to Aaron the priest.

29 Me tapae nga whakahere hapahapai katoa ma Ihowa i roto i nga mea katoa e homai ana ki a koutou, i roto i nga mea papai katoa o ena, ara te wahi tapu o roto.

From everything given to you, let the best of it, the holy part of it, be offered as a lifted offering to the Lord.

30 Me ki atu ki a ratou, Ka hapahapai koutou i te wahi tino pai o taua mea, me ki tena he mea na nga Riwaiti, he pera me te hua o te patunga witi, me te purenatanga hoki o te poka waina.

Say to them, then, When the best of it is lifted up on high, it is to be put to the account of the Levites as the increase of the grain-floor and of the place where the grapes are crushed.

31 A me kai tena e koutou ko o koutou whare ki nga wahi katoa: ko to koutou utu hoki ia mo ta koutou mahi i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.

It is to be your food, for you and your families in every place: it is your reward for your work in the Tent of meeting.

32 A e kore e waha e koutou he hara i reira, ina hapahapainga tona wahi pai: kaua ano e whakapokea nga mea tapu a nga tama a Iharaira, kei mate koutou.

And no sin will be yours on account of it, when the best of it has been lifted up on high; you are not to make a wrong use of the holy things of the children of Israel, so that death may not overtake you.
