Levitiko 16

1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova hili ʻae mate ʻae ongo foha ʻo ʻElone, ʻi heʻena fai ʻae feilaulau ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea na mate;

Yahweh spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they came near before Yahweh, and died;

2 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Lea ki ho taʻokete ko ʻElone, ke ʻoua naʻa faʻa haʻu ia ki he potu māʻoniʻoni ʻi he loto puipui ʻi he ʻao ʻoe nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he funga puha; telia naʻa mate ia: he te u fakahāhā au ʻi he nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa.

and Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell Aaron your brother not to come at just any time into the Most Holy Place within the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark; lest he die; for I will appear in the cloud on the mercy seat.

3 ‌ʻE pehē ni ʻae haʻu ʻa ʻElone ki he potu māʻoniʻoni: ʻe ʻomi ʻe ia ʻae pulu mui ko e feilaulau maʻae angahala, mo e sipitangata ki he feilaulau tutu.”

“Aaron shall come into the sanctuary with a young bull for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.

4 Pea ʻe ʻai ʻe ia ʻae kofu tupenu hinehina māʻoniʻoni, pea ke ʻai ki hono sino ʻae kofu vaʻe tupenu hinehina, pea ke nonoʻo ʻaki ʻae noʻo tupenu hinehina, pea tatā ʻaki ʻae tatā tupenu hinehina: ko e ngaahi kofu māʻoniʻoni ʻeni; ko ia te ne kaukau ai hono sino ʻaki ʻae vai, pea ʻai ia [kiate ia].

He shall put on the holy linen tunic. He shall have the linen trousers on his body, and shall put on the linen sash, and he shall be clothed with the linen turban. They are the holy garments. He shall bathe his body in water, and put them on.

5 Pea te ne toʻo ʻe ia mei he fakataha ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻae ʻuhikiʻi kosi ʻe ua ko e feilaulau maʻae angahala, mo e sipitangata ʻe taha ko e feilaulau tutu.

He shall take from the congregation of the children of Israel two male goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.

6 Pea ʻe ʻatu ʻe ʻElone ʻae pulu ki he feilaulau maʻae angahala, ʻaia ʻoku maʻana, ʻo fai ʻaki ʻae fakalelei maʻana pea mo hono fale.

“Aaron shall offer the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house.

7 Pea ʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae ongo kosi, ʻo ʻatu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.

He shall take the two goats, and set them before Yahweh at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

8 Pea ʻe fai ʻae talotalo ʻe ʻElone ki he ongo kosi: ke vahe ʻae taha maʻa Sihova, pea ko e taha ko e kosi fetuku.

Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for Yahweh, and the other lot for the scapegoat.

9 Pea ʻe ʻomi ʻe ʻElone ʻae kosi naʻe talotalo ke vahe maʻa Sihova, ʻo ʻatu ia ko e feilaulau maʻae angahala.

Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for Yahweh, and offer him for a sin offering.

10 Ka ko e kosi, ʻaia naʻe talotalo ke vahe ke hoko ko e kosi fetuku, ʻe ʻatu moʻui pe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke fai ʻaki ia ʻae fakalelei, pea ke tukuange ia ke ʻalu ki he toafa ngaongao ko e kosi fetuku.

But the goat on which the lot fell for the scapegoat shall be presented alive before Yahweh, to make atonement for him, to send him away as the scapegoat into the wilderness.

11 Pea ʻe ʻomi ʻe ʻElone ʻae pulu ki he feilaulau maʻae angahala, ʻaia ʻoku ʻatu maʻana, pea ne fai ʻaki ʻae fakalelei maʻana, pea mo hono fale, pea ʻe tāmateʻi ʻe ia ʻae pulu ʻoe feilaulau maʻae angahala, ʻaia ʻoku ʻatu maʻana.

“Aaron shall present the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and shall kill the bull of the sin offering which is for himself.

12 Pea ʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae ipu ʻaingaafi ʻoku fonu ʻi he malalaʻi afi vela mei he funga feilaulauʻanga ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea mo e falukunga lahi ʻoe meʻa namu kakala kuo tuki ke iiki, pea te ne ʻomi ia ki loto ʻi he puipui:

He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before Yahweh, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil.

13 Pea ʻe ʻai ʻe ia ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he afi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, koeʻuhi ke ʻufiʻufi ʻe he kohu ʻoe meʻa namu kakala ʻae nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa, ʻaia ʻoku ne ʻufiʻufi ʻae fuakava, telia naʻa mate ai ia:

He shall put the incense on the fire before Yahweh, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the covenant, so that he will not die.

14 Pea ʻe toʻo ʻe ia mei he toto ʻoe pulu, ʻo luluku ʻaki hono tuhu ki he nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa ki he potu hopoʻangalaʻā; pea te ne luluku ʻae toto ʻi he ʻao ʻoe nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa ʻaki ʻa hono tuhu ke liunga fitu.

He shall take some of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.

15 Pea te ne toki tāmateʻi ʻe ia ʻae kosi ki he feilaulau maʻae angahala, ʻaia ʻoku maʻae kakai, pea ʻe ʻomi hono toto ki loto ʻi he puipui, pea ʻe fai ʻaki ʻae toto ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻaki ʻae toto ʻoe pulu, ʻo luluku ia ki he nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe nofoʻanga ʻaloʻofa:

“Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and before the mercy seat.

16 Pea te ne fai ha fakalelei koeʻuhi ko e potu māʻoniʻoni, ko e meʻa ʻi he taʻemaʻa ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau ngaahi talangataʻa mo ʻenau ngaahi angahala: pea ʻe fai pehē ʻe ia ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha, ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ʻiate kinautolu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ʻenau ngaahi meʻa taʻemaʻa.

He shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins; and so he shall do for the Tent of Meeting that dwells with them in the middle of their uncleanness.

17 Pea ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha ha tangata ʻe tokotaha, ʻoka hū ia ki ai ke fai ʻae fakalelei ʻoe potu māʻoniʻoni, kaeʻoua ke haʻu ia kituʻa, pea ʻosi ʻene fai ʻe ia ʻae fakalelei maʻana, pea mo hono fale, pea koeʻuhi ko e kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.

No one shall be in the Tent of Meeting when he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel.

18 Pea te ne ʻalu kituʻa ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea fai ʻae fakalelei koeʻuhi ko ia; pea ʻe toʻo ʻae toto ʻoe pulu, mo e toto ʻoe kosi, pea ʻe ʻai ia ki he ngaahi nifo ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻo takatakai.

“He shall go out to the altar that is before Yahweh and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the bull’s blood, and some of the goat’s blood, and put it around on the horns of the altar.

19 Pea te ne luluku ʻae toto ki ai ʻaki hono tuhu ke liunga fitu, ʻo fakamaʻa ia, ʻo fakatapui ia mei he ngaahi taʻemaʻa ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

He shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and make it holy from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.

20 Pea ʻoka hili ʻene fakaʻosi hono fakalelei ʻoe potu māʻoniʻoni, mo e fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha, mo e feilaulauʻanga, ʻe toki ʻomi ʻe ia ʻae kosi moʻui:

“When he has finished atoning for the Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat.

21 Pea ʻe hilifaki ʻe ʻElone hono nima fakatouʻosi ki he ʻulu ʻoe kosi moʻui, ʻo vete ki ai ʻae ngaahi hia kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, mo ʻenau ngaahi talangataʻa kotoa pē, mo ʻenau ngaahi angahala, ʻo ne hilifaki ia ki he ʻulu ʻoe kosi, pea te ne fekau ke tataki atu ia ki he toafa ʻe ha tangata ʻoku ngalingali mo ia:

Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them on the head of the goat, and shall send him away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is ready.

22 Pea ʻe fua ʻe he kosi ʻo ʻave ki he fonua lala, ʻenau ngaahi hia kotoa pē: pea te ne tukuange ʻe ia ʻae kosi ʻi he toafa.

The goat shall carry all their iniquities on himself to a solitary land, and he shall release the goat in the wilderness.

23 Pea ʻe haʻu ʻa ʻElone ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha, pea toʻo hono ngaahi kofu tupenu hinehina, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻai ʻi heʻene ʻalu ki he potu māʻoniʻoni, pea te ne tuku ia ʻi ai:

“Aaron shall come into the Tent of Meeting, and shall take off the linen garments which he put on when he went into the Holy Place, and shall leave them there.

24 Pea te ne kaukau ʻe ia hono sino ʻaki ʻae vai ʻi he potu māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻai hono kofu, pea ʻalu atu, pea te ne ʻatu ʻae feilaulau tutu ʻaʻana, mo e feilaulau tutu ʻae kakai, ʻo ne fai ʻae fakalelei maʻana, pea mo e kakai.

Then he shall bathe himself in water in a holy place, put on his garments, and come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people.

25 Pea ko e ngako ʻoe feilaulau maʻae angahala ʻe tutu ʻe ia ia ki he feilaulauʻanga.

The fat of the sin offering he shall burn on the altar.

26 Pea ko ia naʻa ne tukuange ʻae kosi ko e kosi fetuku ʻe fō ʻe ia hono kofu, pea kaukau hono sino ʻi he vai pea hili ia, ʻe haʻu ia ki he ʻapitanga.

“He who lets the goat go as the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.

27 Pea ko e pulu ki he feilaulau maʻae angahala, mo e kosi ki he feilaulau maʻae angahala, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi hono toto ke fai ʻaki ʻae fakalelei ʻi he potu māʻoniʻoni, ʻe fetuku ia kituaʻā ʻi he ʻapitanga: pea ʻe tutu ʻi he afi hona kili, mo hona sino, pea mo hona kinohaʻa.

The bull for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be carried outside the camp; and they shall burn their skins, their flesh, and their dung with fire.

28 Pea ko ia ʻoku fai ʻa hono tutu ʻe fō ʻe ia hono kofu, pea kaukau hono sino ʻi he vai, pea toki haʻu ia ki he ʻapitanga.

He who burns them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.

29 Pea ko e fekau tuʻumaʻu ʻeni kiate kimoutolu ʻo taʻengata: koeʻuhi ʻi hono fitu ʻoe māhina, ʻi hono hongofulu [ʻoe ʻaho ]ʻoe māhina ke mou fakavaivai ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻoua naʻa fai ha momoʻi ngāue, pe ko ha tokotaha ʻo homou fonua pe ko ha tokotaha ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻiate kimoutolu.

“It shall be a statute to you forever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and shall do no kind of work, whether native-born or a stranger who lives as a foreigner among you;

30 Koeʻuhi ʻe fai ʻe he taulaʻeiki ke fakalelei maʻamoutolu, ke fakamaʻa ʻakimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke mou maʻa mei hoʻomou ngaahi angahala ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

for on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you. You shall be clean from all your sins before Yahweh.

31 ‌ʻE ʻiate kimoutolu ia ko e Sāpate mālōlō, pea te mou fakavaivai ʻakimoutolu, ko e fekau ia fai maʻu ʻo taʻengata.

It is a Sabbath of solemn rest to you, and you shall afflict your souls. It is a statute forever.

32 Pea ko e taulaʻeiki ko ia ʻaia kuo ne fakanofo, mo ne fakatapui ʻe ia ke ngāue ʻi he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki ʻo fetongi ʻene tamai, ʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae fakalelei, pea ʻe ʻai ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi kofu tupenu hinehina, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi kofu māʻoniʻoni:

The priest, who is anointed and who is consecrated to be priest in his father’s place, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, even the holy garments.

33 Pea ʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae fakalelei koeʻuhi ko e potu tapu lahi, pea fai ʻe ia ʻae fakalelei koeʻuhi ko e fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha, pea koeʻuhi ko e feilaulauʻanga, pea ʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae fakalelei maʻae ngaahi taulaʻeiki, pea koeʻuhi ko e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fakataha.

Then he shall make atonement for the Holy Sanctuary; and he shall make atonement for the Tent of Meeting and for the altar; and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.

34 Pea ko e fekau fai maʻu eni ʻo taʻengata kiate kimoutolu, ke fai ʻae fakalelei maʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo tuʻo taha ʻi he taʻu koeʻuhi ko ʻenau ngaahi angahala. Pea naʻa ne fai ia ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.

“This shall be an everlasting statute for you, to make atonement for the children of Israel once in the year because of all their sins.” It was done as Yahweh commanded Moses.
