Levitiko 12

1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

Yahweh also said to Moses/me,

2 Lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Kapau ʻoku feitama ha fefine, pea fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama tangata: pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu; ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi ʻaho fakamavahe ʻi hono mahaki.

“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If a woman gives birth to a son, she must be avoided for seven days, like she must be avoided when she is menstruating each month.

3 Pea ʻi hono valu ʻoe ʻaho ʻe kamu ʻae muʻa kili ʻo hono potu[ʻoe tama tangata].

The baby son must be circumcised on the eighth day after he is born.

4 Pea ʻe nofo pē[ʻae fefine ]ʻi he toto ʻo hono fakamaʻa ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolungofulu ma tolu; ʻe ʻikai te ne ala ki ha meʻa tapu, pe hū ki he faletapu, kaeʻoua ke kakato ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hono fakamaʻa.

Then the woman must wait 33 days to be purified from her bleeding [during childbirth]. She must not touch anything that is sacred or enter the Sacred Tent area until that time is ended.

5 Pea kapau te ne fāʻeleʻi ha taʻahine, ʻe taʻemaʻa ai ia ʻi he uike ʻe ua, ʻo hangē ko hono mavahe: pea te ne nofo ʻi he ʻaho ʻe onongofulu ma ono koeʻuhi ko e toto mo hono fakamaʻa.

If a woman gives birth to a daughter, she must be avoided for two weeks, like she must be avoided when she is menstruating each month. Then she must wait 66 days to be purified from the bleeding that occurred [when her baby was born].

6 Pea ka kakato ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hono fakamaʻa, koeʻuhi ko e tama, pe ko e taʻahine, te ne ʻomi ʻe ia ha lami ʻoe ʻuluaki taʻu ki he feilaulau tutu, mo e lupe mui, pe ha kulukulu, ko e feilaulau maʻae angahala, ki he taulaʻeiki ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai:

‘Then that time for her to be purified is ended, that woman must bring to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent a one-year-old lamb to be completely burned [on the altar], and a dove or a young pigeon [to be sacrificed] to enable her to become acceptable to Yahweh again.

7 ‌ʻAia te ne ʻatu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne fai ʻae fakalelei maʻana; pea ʻe fakamaʻa ai ia mei he ʻau ʻo hono toto. Ko eni ʻae fono kiate ia kuo ne fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama pe ko e taʻahine.

The priest will offer them to Yahweh in order that she may be forgiven for any sins she has committed. Then she will be purified from her loss of blood [when the baby was born]. ‘Those are the regulations for women who give birth to a son or daughter.

8 Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai faʻa ʻomi ʻe ia ha lami, te ne toki ʻomi ʻe ia ha kulukulu ʻe ua, pe ko e lupe mui ʻe ua; ko e taha ki he feilaulau tutu, pea ko e taha ki he feilaulau maʻae angahala: pea ʻe fai ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae fakalelei maʻana, pea ʻe maʻa ai ia.

If a woman who gives birth to a child cannot afford a lamb, she must bring two doves or two young pigeons. One will be burned completely [on the altar], and one will be an offering to enable her to become acceptable to God again. By doing that, the priest will cause that she will be forgiven for any sins she has committed, and she no longer will need to be avoided.’”
