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: Thou, and thy sons, and thy father’s house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the sins of your priesthood.
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.
And take with thee thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, and the sceptre of thy father, and let them be ready in hand, and minister to thee: but thou and thy sons shall minister in the tabernacle of the testimony.
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.
And the Levites shall watch to do thy commands, and about all the works of the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary nor the altar, lest both they die, and you also perish with them.
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.
But let them be with thee, and watch in the charge of the tabernacle, and in all the ceremonies thereof. A stranger shall not join himself with 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.
Watch ye in the charge of the sanctuary, and in the ministry of the altar: lest indignation rise upon 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.
I have given you your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel, and have delivered them for a gift to the Lord, to serve in the ministries of the tabernacle.
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.
But thou and thy sons look ye to the priesthood: and all things that pertain to the service of the altar, and that are within the veil, shall be executed by the priests. If any stranger shall approach, he shall be slain.
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: Behold I have given thee the charge of my firstfruits. All things that are sanctified by the children of Israel, I have delivered to thee and to thy sons for the priestly office, by everlasting ordinances.
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.
These therefore shalt thou take of the things that are sanctified, and are offered to the Lord. Every offering, and sacrifice, and whatsoever is rendered to me for sin and for trespass, and becometh holy of holies, shall be for thee and thy sons.
10 Hei te wahi tino tapu kai ai, ma nga tane katoa e kai: he tapu tena mau.
Thou shalt eat it in the sanctuary: the males only shall eat thereof, because it is a consecrated thing to thee.
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.
But the firstfruits, which the children of Israel shall vow and offer, I have given to thee, and to thy sons, and to thy daughters, by a perpetual law. He that is clean in thy house, shall eat them.
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 of the wine, and of the corn, whatsoever firstfruits they offer to the Lord, I have given them to thee.
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.
All the firstripe of the fruits, that the ground bringeth forth, and which are brought to the Lord, shall be for thy use: he that is clean in thy house, shall eat them.
14 Mau nga mea katoa i oti rawa i roto i a Iharaira.
Every thing that the children of Israel shall give by vow, shall be thine.
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.
Whatsoever is firstborn of all flesh, which they offer to the Lord, whether it be of men, or of beasts, shall belong to thee: only for the firstborn of man thou shalt take a price, and every beast that is unclean thou shalt cause to be redeemed,
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.
And the redemption of it shall be after one month, for five sicles of silver, by the weight of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.
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 the firstling of a cow and of a sheep and of a goat thou shalt not cause to be redeemed, because they are sanctified to the Lord. Their blood only thou shalt pour upon the altar, and their fat thou shalt burn for a most sweet odour to the Lord.
18 A mau o ratou kikokiko, ka pera me te uma poipoi, me te huha matau, nau hoki ena.
But the flesh shall fall to thy use, as the consecrated breast, and the right shoulder shall be thine.
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 firstfruits of the sanctuary which the children of Israel offer to the Lord, I have given to thee and to thy sons and daughters, by a perpetual ordinance. It is a covenant of salt for ever before the Lord, to thee and to thy sons.
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 shall possess nothing in their land, neither shall you have a portion among them: I am thy portion and inheritance in the midst of 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 I have given to the sons of Levi all the tithes of Israel for a possession for the ministry wherewith they serve me in the tabernacle of the covenant:
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.
That the children of Israel may not approach any more to the tabernacle, nor commit deadly 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 only the sons of Levi may serve me in the tabernacle, and bear the sins of the people. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. They shall not possess any other thing,
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.
But be content with the oblation or tithes, which I have separated for their uses and necessities.
25 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
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.
Command the Levites, and declare unto them: When you shall receive of the children of Israel the tithes, which I have given you, offer the firstfruits of them to the Lord, that is to say, the tenth part of the tenth:
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.
That it may be reckoned to you as an oblation of firstfruits, as well of the barnfloors as of the winepresses:
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.
And of all the things of which you receive tithes, offer the firstfruits to the Lord, and give them 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.
All the things that you shall offer of the tithes, and shall separate for the gifts of the Lord, shall be the best and choicest things.
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.
And thou shalt say to them: If you offer all the goodly and the better things of the tithes, it shall be reckoned to you as if you had given the firstfruits of the barnfloor and the winepress:
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.
And you shall eat them in all your places, both you and your families: because it is your reward for the ministry, wherewith you serve in the tabernacle of the testimony.
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 you shall not sin in this point, by reserving the choicest and fat things to yourselves, lest you profane the oblations of the children of Israel, and die.
