1 K atahi ahau ka whakahokia e ia na te ara o te kuwaha o waho o te wahi tapu e anga ana ki te rawhiti; na kua oti te tutaki.

Then the man brought me back the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary which faces the east, and it was shut.

2 N a ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, Ko tenei kuwaha me tutaki tonu, e kore e whakatuwheratia, e kore ano tetahi tangata e tomo ma konei: no te mea i na konei atu a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira; na reira i tutakina ai.

Then the Lord said to me, This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened and no man shall enter in by it, for the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered in by it; therefore it shall remain shut.

3 T ena ko te rangatira, me noho ia ki konei, he rangatira, ki te kai taro i te aroaro o Ihowa, ko tona ara ki roto kei te whakamahau o taua kuwaha; ko tona ara ano tena ki waho.

As for the prince, being the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the Lord; he shall enter by way of the porch or vestibule of the gate and shall go out the same way.

4 K atahi ahau ka kawea e ia na te ara o te kuwaha ki te raki, ki te aronga o te whare: na, i taku tirohanga atu, nana, kua ki te whare o Ihowa i te kororia o Ihowa, a tapapa ana ahau.

Then he brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple; I looked, and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord, and I fell upon my face.

5 N a ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata anga mai tou ngakau, titiro hoki ou kanohi, whakarongo ano ou taringa ki nga mea katoa e korero ai ahau ki a koe mo nga tikanga katoa o te whare o Ihowa, mo nga ture katoa ano o reira; ata mahara ano ki te tomokanga atu ki te whare, ki nga putanga katoa hoki i te wahi tapu.

And the Lord said to me, Son of man, mark well and set your heart to see with your eyes and hear with your ears all that I say to you concerning all the ordinances of the house of the Lord and all its laws, and mark well and set your heart to know who are allowed to enter the temple and all those who are excluded from the sanctuary.

6 M e ki atu ano e koe ki te hunga whakakeke, ki te whare o Iharaira, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Kati ra a koutou mea whakarihariha, e te whare o Iharaira.

And you shall say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: O you house of Israel, let all your previous abominations be enough for you!

7 K ua kawea mai na hoki e koutou he tautangata, he hunga kihai i kotia te ngakau, kihai i kotia te kikokiko, ki toku wahi tapu noho ai, hei whakapoke mo reira, ara mo toku whare, i te mea e whakaherea ana e koutou taku taro, te ngako, me te toto, a he iho taku kawenata i a ratou, hei apiti ki a koutou mea whakarihariha katoa.

You have brought into My sanctuary aliens, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in My sanctuary to pollute and profane it, even My house, when you offer My bread, the fat and the blood; and through it all and in addition to all your abominations, they and you have broken My covenant.

8 K ihai ano i mau i a koutou te tiaki i aku mea tapu: heoi whakaritea ana e koutou a koutou ake kaitiaki mo aku mea i roto i toku wahi tapu.

And you have not kept charge of My holy things, but you have chosen foreign keepers to please yourselves and have set them in charge of My sanctuary.

9 K o te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Kaua tetahi tautangata kihai i kotia te ngakau, kihai i kotia te kikokiko, e tomo ki toku wahi tapu, o nga tautangata katoa i roto i nga tama a Iharaira.

Therefore thus says the Lord God: No foreigner uncircumcised in heart and flesh shall enter into My sanctuary, of any foreigners who are among the children of Israel.

10 E ngari, ko nga Riwaiti i mawehe atu ra i ahau, i te kotititanga ketanga o Iharaira, i a ratou i kotiti atu ai i ahau, i whai ai i a ratou whakapakoko: ka mau ki a ratou to ratou kino.

But the Levites who went far away from Me when Israel went astray, who went astray from Me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity and guilt.

11 O tiia hei minita ano ratou i roto i toku wahi tapu, hei tiaki i nga kuwaha o te whare, hei minita ki te whare: ma ratou e patu te tahunga tinana me te patunga tapu a te iwi, me tu ano ratou ki to ratou aroaro minita ai ki a ratou.

They shall minister in My sanctuary, having oversight as guards at the gates of the temple and ministering in the temple. They shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall attend the people to serve them.

12 N o te mea i minita ratou ki a ratou i te aroaro o a ratou whakapakoko, a meinga ana e ratou te whare o Iharaira kia taka ki te kino; na reira i ara ai toku ringa ki a ratou, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa; ka mau ki a ratou to ratou kino.

Because ministered to before their idols and became a stumbling block of iniquity and guilt to the house of Israel, therefore I have lifted up My hand and have sworn against them, says the Lord God, that they shall bear the punishment for their iniquity and guilt.

13 E kore ano ratou e whakatata ki ahau, hei tohunga maku, e kore ano e whakatata ki tetahi o aku mea tapu i te wahi tapu rawa: engari, ka mau to ratou whakama ki a ratou, me a ratou mea whakarihariha i mahia e ratou.

And they shall not come near to Me to do the office of a priest to Me, nor come near to any of My holy things that are most sacred; but they shall bear their shame and their punishment for the abominations which they have committed.

14 O tira ka meinga ratou e ahau hei kaitiaki mo nga mea o te whare, mo nga mahi katoa o reira, mo nga mea katoa ano e meatia ki reira.

Yet I will appoint them as caretakers to have charge of the temple, for all the service of the temple and for all that will be done in it.

15 E ngari era tohunga, nga Riwaiti, nga tama a Haroko, i tiaki nei i nga mea o toku wahi tapu, i nga tama a Iharaira i kotiti ke atu ra i ahau, ko ratou e whakatata ki ahau ki te minita ki ahau, ka tu ano ratou i toku aroaro hei whakahere i te ngak o, i te toto, ki ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa:

But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept the charge of My sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from Me, shall come near to Me to minister to Me, and they shall attend Me to offer to Me the fat and the blood, says the Lord God.

16 K o ratou e tomo ki roto ki toku wahi tapu, ko ratou ano e whakatata ki taku tepu hei minita ki ahau, ma ratou ano aku mea e tiaki.

They shall enter into My sanctuary; and they shall come near to My table to minister to Me, and they shall keep My charge.

17 A ka tomo ratou ki roto ki nga kuwaha o to roto marae, hei te kakahu rinena he kakahu mo ratou; kaua hoki tetahi mea huruhuru e mau ki a ratou, i a ratou e minita ana i roto i nga kuwaha o to roto marae, i roto ano i te whare.

When they enter the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed in linen garments; no wool shall be on them while they minister at the gates of the inner court and within the temple.

18 H e potae rinena mo o ratou mahunga, he tarautete rinena ano hoki mo o ratou hope; kaua e whitikiria e ratou he mea e heke ai te werawera.

They shall have linen turbans on their heads and linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with anything that causes sweat.

19 N a ka haere atu ratou ki to waho marae, ara ki te marae i waho, ki te iwi, me unu o ratou kakahu i minita ai ratou, ka waiho ki nga ruma tapu, a me kakahu etahi atu kakahu; kei tapu te iwi i o ratou kakahu.

And when they go out into the outer court to the people, they shall put off the garments in which they ministered and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments, lest by contact of their garments with the people they should consecrate (separate and set apart for holy use) such persons.

20 K aua ano ratou e heu i o ratou mahunga, kaua nga makawe e whakatupuria kia roa; ko te kutikuti anake mo o ratou mahunga.

Neither shall they shave their heads or allow their locks to grow long; they shall only cut short or trim the hair of their heads.

21 K aua ano tetahi tohunga e inu waina, ina haere ratou ki to roto marae.

Neither shall any priest drink wine when he enters the inner court.

22 K aua ano ratou e tango i te pouaru, i te mea ranei i whakarerea, hei wahine ma ratou; engari, ko ta ratou e tango ai hei nga wahine o nga uri o te whare o Iharaira, hei te pouaru ranei a tetahi tohunga.

Neither shall they take for their wives a widow or a woman separated or divorced from her husband; but they shall marry maidens of the offspring of the house of Israel or a widow previously married to a priest.

23 A me whakaako e ratou toku iwi ki te wehe i te tapu, i te noa; me mea kia mohio ki te poke, ki te ma.

The priests shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the common or profane, and cause them to distinguish between the unclean and the clean.

24 I te tautohetohenga hoki me tu ratou hei whakawa; kia rite ano a ratou whakawa ki aku whakawa; me pupuri e ratou aku ture, me aku tikanga i roto i aku hakari whakarite katoa; me whakatapu ano e ratou aku hapati.

And in a controversy they shall act as judges, and they shall judge according to My judgments; and they shall keep My laws and My statutes in all My appointed feasts, and they shall keep My Sabbaths holy.

25 K aua ano ratou e tae ki te tupapaku, whakapoke ai i a ratou; e whakapoke ano ia ratou i a ratou ano mo te papa, mo te whaea, mo te tama, mo te tamahine, mo te tuakana, teina ranei, mo te tuahine kahore nei ana tahu.

And they shall go near to no dead person to defile themselves, except for father or for mother, for son or for daughter, for brother or for sister who has had no husband; for them they may defile themselves.

26 A , ka oti ia te pure, me tatau kia whitu nga ra mona.

And after he is cleansed they shall reckon to him seven days more before returning to the temple.

27 N a, a te ra e tomo ai ia ki te wahi tapu, ki to roto marae, ki te minita i roto i te wahi tapu, me whakahere e ia tana whakahere hara, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

And on the day that he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, says the Lord God.

28 A ka whai kainga tupu ratou; ko ahau hei kainga tupu mo ratou: kaua hoki tetahi kainga e hoatu ki a ratou i roto i a Iharaira: ko ahau hei kainga mo ratou.

This shall be to them as an inheritance, for I am their inheritance; and you shall give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession.

29 K o te whakahere totokore, ko te whakahere hara, ko te whakahere mo te he, hei kai ma ratou; ma ratou ano nga mea katoa i oti rawa mai i roto i a Iharaira.

They shall eat the meal offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering, and every offering in Israel dedicated by a solemn vow to God shall be theirs.

30 N a, ko te tuatahi o nga matamua katoa o nga mea katoa, me nga whakahere katoa o a koutou tini whakahere katoa, ma nga tohunga; me te tuatahi ano o ta koutou paraoa pokepoke, me hoatu e koutou ki te tohunga, kia tau ai he manaaki ki tou whare.

And the first of all the firstfruits of all kinds, and every offering of all kinds from all your offerings, shall belong to the priests. You shall also give to the priest the first of your coarse meal and bread dough, that a blessing may rest on your house.

31 K aua te tohunga e kai i te mea mate maori, i te mea ranei i haea, ahakoa manu, ahakoa kararehe.

The priests shall not eat of anything that has died of itself or is torn, whether it be bird or beast.
