Tauanga 6
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 momotu te tangata, te wahine ranei i a ia, he ki taurangi na te Natari, mona kia wehea ma Ihowa:
“Tell the Israelites: If a man or a woman makes a special promise to become a Nazirite, to dedicate themselves to the Lord,
3 Me wehe ia i a ia kei tata ki te waina, i te wai whakahaurangi ranei, kaua hoki ia e inu i te winika waina, i te winika whakahaurangi, kaua hoki e inu i te wai karepe, a kaua e kai i te karepe hou, maroke ranei.
they must not drink any wine or other alcoholic drink. They must not even drink vinegar made from wine or other alcoholic drink, or any grape juice or eat grapes or raisins.
4 I nga ra katoa e wehea ai ia kaua ia e kai i tetahi mea no te waina te mea i hanga ai, ahakoa nganga, ahakoa peha.
The whole time they are dedicated to the Lord they must not eat anything from a grapevine, not even grape seeds or skins.
5 I nga ra katoa o tanga ki taurangi wehe i a ia, kaua te heu e pa ki tona matenga: kia tutuki ra ano nga ra e wehea ai ia ki a Ihowa, ka tapu ia, a me tuku e ia nga makawe o tona matenga kia tupu, kia roroa.
They must not use a razor on their heads during the whole time of this promise of dedication. They must remain holy until their time of dedication to the Lord is finished. They must let their hair grow long.
6 I nga ra katoa i wehe ai ia i a ia ki a Ihowa kaua ia e whakatata ki te tupapaku.
During this time of dedication to the Lord they must not go near a dead body.
7 Kaua ia e whakapoke i a ia mo tona papa, mo tona whaea, mo tona tuakana, teina ranei, mo tona tuahine, ina mate ratou; no te mea kei runga i tona matenga te wehenga a tona Atua.
Even if it's their father, mother, brother or sister who has died, they are not to make themselves unclean, because their uncut hair announces their dedication to God.
8 Ka tapu ia ki a Ihowa i nga ra katoa e wehe ai ia.
Through the whole time of their dedication they are to be holy to the Lord.
9 A ki te mate tetahi tangata ki tona taha, he mea pa whakarere, a kua poke i a ia tona matenga i wehea nei; na me heu e ia tona matenga i te ra e purea ai ia, me heu e ia i te whitu o nga ra.
However, if someone dies suddenly close to them, making them unclean, they must wait seven days, and on the seventh day when they are made clean again they are to shave their heads.
10 A i te waru o nga ra me kawe mai e ia he kukupa kia rua, he pi kikupa ranei kia rua, ki te tohunga, ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga:
On the eighth day they shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
11 A me whakahere tetahi e te tohunga hei whakahere hara, me tetahi hei tahunga tinana, a ka whakamarie mona, nona hoki i whai hara i te tupapaku, ka whakatapua ano tona matenga i taua ra ano.
The priest will offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make them right, because they became guilty by being near the dead body. On that day they must re-dedicate themselves and let their hair grow again.
12 A me whakatapu e ia ki a Ihowa nga ra o tona wehenga, me kawe mai ano he reme toa, he tau tahi, hei whakahere mo te he: ko nga ra ia o mua ka whakataka, no te mea kua poke tona wehenga.
They must re-dedicate themselves to the Lord for the full time they originally promised and bring a one-year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. The previous days don't count towards the time of dedication because they became unclean.
13 A ko te ture tenei mo te Natari, ina rite nga ra e wehea ai ia: me kawe ia ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga:
These are the rules to be observed when the Nazirite's time of dedication is finished. They are to be taken to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
14 A me whakahere e ia tana whakahere ki a Ihowa, kia kotahi te reme toa tau tahi, hei te mea kohakore, hei tahunga tinana, me tetahi reme uha tau tahi, hei te mea kohakore, hei whakahere hara, me teahi hipi toa kohakore, hei whakahere mo te pai,
There they are to present an offering to the Lord of a one-year-old male lamb without defects as a burnt offering, a one-year-old female lamb without defects as a sin offering, and ram without defects as a peace offering.
15 Me tetahi kete taro rewenakore, me nga keke paraoa pai i konatunatua ki te hinu, me etahi me angiangi ano hoki, hei nga mea rewenakore i pania ki te hinu, me te whakahere totokore, me nga ringihanga o aua mea.
In addition they are to bring a basket of bread without yeast made from the best flour mixed with olive oil and wafers without yeast coated with olive oil as well as their grain offerings and drink offerings.
16 A me kawe aua mea e te tohunga ki te aroaro o Ihowa, a ka whakaherea tana whakahere hara, me tana tahunga tinana:
The priest will present all these before the Lord as well as sacrificing the sin offering and the burnt offering.
17 Me whakahere ano e ia te hipi toa, hei patunga mo te pai ki a Ihowa, me te kete taro rewenakore: me whakahere ano e te tohunga tana whakahere totokore, me tana ringihanga.
He will also sacrifice a ram as a peace offering to the Lord, together with the basket of bread made without yeast. In addition the priest will present the grain offering and drink offering.
18 A me heu e te Natari tona matenga, i wehea nei, ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ka tango ai i nga makawe o tona matenga i wehea nei, a ka maka ki te ahi, ki tera i raro i te patunga mo te pai.
Then the Nazirites are to shave their heads at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. They shall take the hair from their heads that were dedicated, and place it on the fire under the peace offering.
19 A me tango e te tohunga te peke o te hipi toa, ina oti te kohua, me tetahi o nga keke rewenakore i te kete, me tetahi o nga keke angiangi, o nga mea rewenakore, a ka hoatu e ia ki nga ringa o te Natari, i muri i te heunga o ona makawe i wehea ne i.
Once the Nazirites have shaved, the priest will take the boiled shoulder from the ram, one bread without yeast from the basket, and one wafer without yeast, and place them in their hands.
20 Na ka poipoia e te tohunga hei whakahere poipoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa: ka tapu tenei ma te tohunga, me te uma poipoi, me te huha hapahapai: a, muri iho ka inu waina te Natari.
The priest will wave them as a wave offering before the Lord. These items are holy and belong to the priest, as well as the breast of the wave offering and the thigh that was offered. Once this is finished, Nazirites may drink wine.
21 Ko te ture tenei mo te Natari, nana te ki wehe, mo tana whakahere hoki ki a Ihowa ina wehea, hei tapiri mo ta tona ringa i whiwhi ai: kia rite ki tana ki i ki ai; kei te ture o tona wehenga te tikanga mo tana e mea ai.
These are the rules to be observed when a Nazirite promises to give offerings to the Lord regarding their dedication. They can also bring additional offerings if they can afford it. Every Nazirite must fulfill whatever promises they have made when they dedicated themselves.”
22 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
The Lord told Moses,
23 Korero ki a Arona ratou ko ana tama, mea atu, Kia penei ta koutou manaaki i nga tama a iharaira; mea atu ki a ratou,
“Tell Aaron and his sons: This is how you are to bless the Israelites. This is what they are to say:
24 Ma Ihowa koe e manaaki, mana koe e tiaki:
‘May the Lord bless you and take care of you.
25 Ma Ihowa e mea kia tiaho tona mata ki a koe, mana ano hoki koe e atawhai:
May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.
26 Ma Ihowa tona kanohi e whakaara ki a koe, mana ano e tuku te rangimarie ki a koe.
May the Lord watch over you and give you peace.’
27 A ka karangatia e ratou toku ingoa ki runga ki nga tama a Iharaira; a maku ratou e manaaki.
Whenever the priests bless the Israelites in my name, I will bless them.”
