Levitiko 10

1 Pea ko Natapi mo ʻApiu ko e ongo foha ʻo ʻElone, naʻa na taki taha toʻo ʻene ipu ʻaiʻanga afi, ʻo ʻai ʻae afi ki ai, pea ʻai ʻae meʻa nanamu ki ai, ʻo na ʻatu ʻae afi kehe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe ia ke ʻoua naʻa fai.

[Two of] Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, took the pans in which they burned incense. They put some burning coals in them and put incense on top of the coals, but this fire was not acceptable [to Yahweh] because it was not the kind that he had commanded them to burn.

2 Pea naʻe ʻoho atu ʻae afi meia Sihova, pea na vela ai, pea mate ʻakinaua ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

So suddenly a fire from Yahweh appeared and burned them up [DOU] in the presence of Yahweh.

3 Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese kia ʻElone, “Ko eni ia naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻapasia ʻiate au ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻunuʻunu mai kiate au, pea ʻe fakahikihiki au ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē.’” Pea naʻe longo pe ʻa ʻElone.

Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “That is what Yahweh predicted. He said, ‘Those priests who come near to me, I will show them that they must (respect me/treat me as being holy); in the presence of all the people I am the one who must be honored.’” But Aaron said nothing.

4 Pea naʻe ui ʻe Mōsese ke haʻu ʻa Misaeli, mo ʻElisafani, ko e ongo foha ʻo ʻUsaeli ko e tuʻasina ʻo ʻElone, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinaua, “Mo omi ke ofi, ʻo fua homou kāinga mei he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki kituaʻā ʻi he ʻapitanga.”

Then Moses/I summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, who were the sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Take [the corpses of] your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the Sacred Tent.”

5 Pea naʻa na ʻunuʻunu atu, ʻo na fua ia ʻi hona kofu kituaʻā ʻi he ʻapitanga; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Mōsese.

So they carried the corpses, which still had their special gowns on, outside the camp, [and buried them].

6 Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese kia ʻElone mo hono ongo foha ko ʻEleisa mo ʻItama, “ʻOua naʻa toʻo ʻae tatā mei homou ʻulu, pea ʻoua naʻa hae homou kofu; telia naʻa mou mate, pea telia naʻa tō ʻae houhau ki he kakai kotoa pē: kae tuku ki homou ngaahi kāinga ko e fale kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli, kenau tēngihia ʻae vela kuo tutu ʻe Sihova.

Then Moses/I said to Aaron and his [other two] sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “[You are sad because Nadab and Abihu died, but you must act like you always do]. Do not allow the hair on your [heads] to remain uncombed, and do not tear your clothes. But your relatives and all your fellow Israelis are allowed to mourn for those whom Yahweh destroyed by fire.

7 Pea ʻoua naʻa mou ʻalu kituaʻā ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, telia naʻa mou mate: he ko e lolo tākai ʻa Sihova ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu.” Pea naʻa nau fai ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻa Mōsese.

But you must not leave the entrance of the Sacred Tent [to join those who are mourning], because if you do that, you also will die, and Yahweh will punish [MTY] all the people of Israel. Do not forget that Yahweh has set you apart [MTY] to work for him here, [and he does not want you to become defiled by touching a corpse].” So they did what Moses/I told them to do.

8 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻElone, ʻo pehē,

Then Yahweh said to Aaron,

9 “ʻOua naʻa ke inu uaine pe ha inu mālohi, ʻa koe, pe ko ho ngaahi foha mo koe, ʻoka mou ka hū ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, telia naʻa mou mate: ko e fekau ia ʻe fai maʻuaipē ʻi homou ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē:

“You and your [two] sons [who are still alive] must not drink wine or other fermented drinks before you enter the Sacred Tent; if you do that, you will die. That is a command that you and your descendants must obey forever.

10 Pea koeʻuhi ke mou ʻai ʻae fakaʻilonga kehekehe, ʻi he meʻa māʻoniʻoni, mo e meʻa taʻemāʻoniʻoni, pea ki he meʻa taʻemaʻa, mo e meʻa maʻa;

You must do that in order to learn what things are holy and what things are (not holy/common), and [from the things that are not holy] you must learn what things are acceptable to me and what things are not.

11 Pea koeʻuhi ke mou ako ʻaki ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻae ngaahi fekau kotoa pē ʻaia kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese.”

And you must teach to the Israeli people all the laws that I gave to the Israeli people by telling them to Moses.”

12 Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese kia ʻElone, pea mo ʻEliesa mo ʻItama, ko hono ongo foha naʻe toe, ʻo pehē, “Toʻo ʻae feilaulau meʻakai, ʻaia ʻoku toe ʻi he ngaahi feilaulau kia Sihova ʻoku tutu ʻi he afi, pea kai ia taʻefakalēvani ʻi he potu ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, he ʻoku fungani māʻoniʻoni ia:

Moses/I said to Aaron and his two sons who were still alive, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the offering made from grain that is left after a portion of it has been offered to Yahweh to be burned, and eat it alongside the altar. [It should not be eaten elsewhere], because it is very holy.

13 Pea mou kai ia ʻi he potutapu, he ko ho ʻinasi ia, mo e ʻinasi ʻo ho ngaahi foha, ʻi he ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova: he ʻoku pehē pe ʻae fekau kiate au.

Eat it in a holy place; it is the share for you and your sons from the offerings that were burned; I have commanded that it be your share.

14 Pea ko e fatafata taʻaloʻalo mo e alanga muʻa hiki hake te mou kai ʻi he potu maʻa; ʻa koe, mo ho ngaahi foha, mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine mo koe: he ko ho ʻinasi ia, mo e ʻinasi ʻo ho ngaahi foha, ʻaia kuo foaki mei he ngaahi feilaulau ʻoe feilaulau fakamelino ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

But you and your sons and daughters are permitted to eat the breast and the thigh that were lifted up in front of Yahweh. Eat them in any place that is (holy/acceptable to him). They have been given to you and your descendants as your share of the offerings to enable the Israelis to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh].

15 Ko e alanga muʻa hiki hake, mo e fatafata taʻaloʻalo tenau ʻomi fakataha mo e ngaahi feilaulau mo e ngako ʻoku tutu ʻi he afi, ke taʻaloʻalo ʻaki ia ko e meʻa ʻatu taʻaloʻalo ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea ʻe ʻiate koe ia, mo ho ngaahi foha mo koe, ʻi he tuʻutuʻuni taʻengata; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova.

The thigh and the breast that were lifted up in front of Yahweh must be brought with the portions of fat to be burned, to be lifted up in his presence. They will be the regular share for you and your descendants, as Yahweh has commanded.”

16 Pea naʻe kumi lahi ʻe Mōsese ki he kosi ʻoe feilaulau maʻae angahala, pea vakai, kuo tutu ia: pea naʻe ʻita ai ia kia ʻEliesa mo ʻItama, ko e ongo foha ʻo ʻElone, ʻaia naʻe moʻui mo toe, ʻo pehē,

When Moses/I inquired about the goat that had been sacrificed to enable the people to be forgiven by Yahweh for the sins they had committed, he/I found out that it had been completely burned. So he/I was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar and asked them,

17 “Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai temou kai ai ʻae feilaulau maʻae angahala ʻi he potu māʻoniʻoni, he koeʻuhi ʻoku fungani māʻoniʻoni ia, pea kuo foaki ia ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu ke mou fua ʻae hia ʻae kakai ʻoe fakataha, ke fai ʻaki ʻae fakalelei maʻanautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova?

“Why did you not eat near the Sacred Tent the meat of the offering for sin? It was very holy, and it was given to you to enable the Israeli people to no longer be guilty for their sins and to be forgiven for their sins.

18 Vakai, naʻe ʻikai ʻomi hono toto ki loto ʻi he potu māʻoniʻoni: ko e moʻoni naʻe totonu hoʻomou kai ia ʻi he potu māʻoniʻoni, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku fekau.”

Since its blood was not taken into the holy place inside the Sacred Tent, you should have eaten the [meat of] the goat near the Sacred Tent, as I commanded.”

19 Pea pehē ʻe ʻElone kia Mōsese, “Vakai, kuo nau ʻatu he ʻaho ni ʻenau feilaulau maʻae angahala mo ʻenau feilaulau tutu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea kuo tō ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē ni kiate au: pea ka ne u kai he ʻaho ni ʻae feilaulau maʻae angahala, pea he ʻe lelei ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova?”

Aaron replied to Moses/me, “Today the people brought to Yahweh their offering to be forgiven for the sins they had committed, and the offering to be completely burned, [and surely that pleased Yahweh], but [think about the terrible thing] that happened to my other two sons! Would [RHQ] Yahweh have been pleased if I had eaten some of the offering to cause the people to become acceptable to God?”

20 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻa Mōsese ki ai, naʻa ne fiemālie.

When Moses/I heard that, he/I was satisfied.
