Levitiko 9

1 Pea ʻi hono valu ʻoe ʻaho naʻe ui ʻa Mōsese kia ʻElone mo hono ngaahi foha, pea ki he kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli:

Eight days later, Moses/I summoned the elders of Israel.

2 Pea pehē ʻe ia kia ʻElone, “Ke ke toʻo kiate koe ʻae ʻuhiki pulu mui ko e feilaulau ki he angahala, mo e sipitangata ko e feilaulau tutu, taʻehanomele, ʻo ʻatu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

Then he/I said to Aaron, “Take a young bull for the offering to enable you leaders to be forgiven for the sins you have committed, and a ram to be completely burned [on the altar], both of them without any defects, and offer them to Yahweh.

3 Pea ke lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Toʻo ʻekimoutolu ʻae ʻuhikiʻi kosi ko e feilaulau maʻae angahala; mo e ʻuhiki pulu mo e lami ʻi he ʻuluaki taʻu fakatouʻosi, taʻehanomele, ko e feilaulau tutu;

Then say to the Israeli people, ‘Take one male goat for the offering to enable you all to be forgiven for the sins you have committed. Also take a calf and a lamb that have no defects, to be an offering completely burned [on the altar].

4 Pea mo e pulu mo e sipitangata ko e feilaulau fakamelino, ke feilaulau ʻaki ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; mo e feilaulau meʻakai kuo felingiʻaki ʻae lolo: he ko e ʻaho ni ʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu.”

Also take an ox and a ram to be an offering to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh], along with an offering of flour mixed with olive oil. Do this because today Yahweh is going to appear to you.’”

5 Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai: pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

[After Moses/I told this to the Israeli people, some of them] took the things that Moses/I had commanded them to take, and went to the courtyard in front of the Sacred Tent. Then all the people came near and stood in front of Yahweh.

6 Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese, “Ko eni ʻae meʻa kuo fekau ʻe Sihova ke mou fai: pea ʻe fakahā ai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova kiate kimoutolu.”

Then Moses/I said, “This is what Yahweh has commanded you to do, in order that his glory will appear to you.”

7 Pea pehē ʻe Mōsese kia ʻElone, “ʻAlu ki he feilaulauʻanga, ʻo ʻatu ʻa hoʻo feilaulau maʻae angahala, mo hoʻo feilaulau tutu, pea fai ʻae fakalelei koeʻuhi ko koe, pea maʻae kakai: pea ʻatu ʻae feilaulau ʻae kakai, mo fai ʻae fakalelei koeʻuhi ko kinautolu; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova.”

Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “Come to the altar and sacrifice the animal that is your offering to enable you to be forgiven for the sins you have committed, and the animal that will be completely burned there. Because of those offerings, God will forgive you and the people for the sins that you have committed [DOU]. Do those things that Yahweh has commanded.”

8 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻElone ki he feilaulauʻanga, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ʻae pulu mui ʻoe feilaulau maʻae angahala, ʻaia ko e meʻa maʻana.

So Aaron came close to the altar and slaughtered the calf to be an offering for his sins.

9 Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone ʻae toto kiate ia: pea naʻa ne ʻai hono tuhu ki he toto, ʻo ne ʻai ia ki he ngaahi nifo ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, ʻo ne lingi ʻae toto ki he tefitoʻi feilaulauʻanga:

His sons brought its blood to him [in a bowl]. He dipped his finger into the blood and put some of it on the projections at the corners of the altar. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

10 Ka ko hono ngako, mo e kofuua, mo e ʻahu ʻoku ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ʻate ʻoe feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala, naʻa ne tutu ia ʻi he funga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.

He/I burned the fat, including that which covered the kidneys and the liver, as Yahweh had commanded him/me.

11 Pea ko hono sino mo hono kili ne ne tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻi tuaʻā ʻi he ʻapitanga.

Then Aaron burned [the rest of] the meat and the hide/skin outside the camp.

12 Pea naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻae feilaulau tutu; pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone naʻa nau ʻatu kiate ia ʻae toto, pea naʻa ne luluku ia ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻo takatakai.

Then Aaron slaughtered the animal that would be completely burned [on the altar]. His sons handed him [the bowl containing] its blood, and he sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.

13 Pea naʻa nau ʻatu kiate ia ʻae feilaulau tutu, mo hono ngaahi konga ʻo ia mo e ʻulu: pea ne tutu ia ki he funga ʻoe feilaulau.

Then they handed him the head and the pieces of the animal that would be burned, and he burned them on the altar.

14 Pea naʻe fufulu ʻe ia ʻae toʻotoʻonga mo e keukeu, pea tutu ia ki he funga ʻoe feilaulau tutu ʻi he feilaulauʻanga.

He washed the inner parts and the legs of the animal, and burned them on the altar, on top of the other pieces of the animal.

15 Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae feilaulau ʻae kakai, ʻo ne ʻave ʻae kosi, ʻaia ko e feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala ʻae kakai, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ia, ʻo ne ʻatu ia koeʻuhi ko e angahala, ʻo hangē ko e ʻuluaki.

Then Aaron brought the animals that would be sacrifices for the Israeli people. He took the goat and slaughtered it to be an offering to enable them to be forgiven for the sins they had committed, like he had done with the goat for his own offering.

16 Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe ia ʻae feilaulau tutu, ʻo ʻatu ia ʻo fakatatau mo e fekau.

Then he brought the animal for the offering to be completely burned. He slaughtered it and offered it in the way that Yahweh had commanded him to do.

17 Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae feilaulau meʻakai, pea ne toʻo ʻae mahoaʻa ʻo ia, ʻo ne tutu ia ki he funga feilaulauʻanga, ʻo ofi ki he feilaulau tutu ʻoe pongipongi.

He also brought the offering of grain. He took a handful of it and burned it on the altar, like he had done for the animal that he had slaughtered and completely burned [on the altar] in the morning.

18 Pea naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻae pulu mo e sipitangata ko e feilaulau ʻoe feilaulau fakamelino, ʻaia naʻe fai koeʻuhi ko e kakai: pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae toto kiate ia, ʻaia naʻa ne luluku ki he funga feilaulauʻanga ʻo takatakai hake,

Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram, to be an offering for the Israeli people to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. His sons handed him [the bowl containing] the blood, and he sprinkled the blood against all sides of the altar.

19 Mo e ngako ʻoe pulu mo e sipitangata, ko e tuʻunga iku, mo e punukete, mo e kofuua, mo e ʻahu ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ʻate:

But he took the fat from the ox and the ram, including their fat tails that were cut close to the backbone, and all the fat that covered the livers and the kidneys.

20 Pea naʻa nau ʻai ʻae ngako ʻoe fatafata, pea tutu ʻe ia ʻae ngako ʻi he funga feilaulauʻanga:

He put them on top of the breasts of those animals and carried them to the altar to be burned.

21 Pea ko e fatafata mo e alanga muʻa toʻomataʻu naʻe taʻaloʻalo ʻaki ʻe ʻElone ko e feilaulau taʻaloʻalo ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Mōsese.

Then, doing what Moses/I had commanded, he lifted up in front of Yahweh the breast and the right thigh of those animals, to signify that those two animals completely belonged to Yahweh.

22 Pea naʻe hiki ʻe ʻElone hono nima ki ʻolunga ki he kakai, ʻo ne tāpuaki ʻakinautolu, pea ʻalu hifo ia mei heʻene ʻatu ʻae feilaulau maʻae angahala, mo e feilaulau tutu, mo e feilaulau fakamelino.

Then Aaron lifted his arms toward the people and [asked Yahweh to] bless them. Then having finished making all those offerings, he stepped down [from the place where the altar was].

23 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, pea haʻu mei ai mo e tāpuaki ki he kakai: pea naʻe hā mai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova ki he kakai kotoa pē.

Then Aaron and Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent. When they/we later came out, they/we [asked Yahweh to] bless the people. And suddenly the glory/brightness of Yahweh appeared to all the people.

24 Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae afi mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne fakavela ke ʻosi ʻae feilaulau tutu mo e ngako ʻi he funga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga: pea ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē, naʻa nau kalanga, pea tō fakafoʻohifo ki honau mata.

A fire from Yahweh appeared and burned up the offering that was to be completely burned and the fat that was on the altar. And when all the people saw that, they shouted joyfully and prostrated themselves on the ground [to worship Yahweh].
