1 N a ka mau a Natapa raua ko Apihu, nga tama a Arona, ki a raua tahu kakara, a maka ana he ahi ki roto, a whakatakotoria iho e raua he whakakakara ki runga, na whakaherea ana e raua he ahi ke ki te aroaro o Ihowa, he mea kihai i whakahaua e ia ki a raua.

And the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, took each of them his censer, and put fire in it, and put incense on it, and presented strange fire before Jehovah, which he had not commanded them.

2 N a ko te putanga mai o te ahi i te aroaro o Ihowa, a pau ake raua, a mate iho raua i te aroaro o Ihowa.

And there went out fire from before Jehovah, and devoured them, and they died before Jehovah.

3 N a ka mea a Mohi ki a Arona, Ko te mea tenei i korero ra a Ihowa, i mea ra, Me whakatapu ahau e te hunga katoa e whakatata mai ana ki ahau, me whakakororia ano hoki ahau ki te aroaro o te iwi katoa. A whakarongo puku ana a Arona.

And Moses said to Aaron, This is what Jehovah spoke, saying, I will be hallowed in them that come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron was silent.

4 N a ka karanga a Mohi ki a Mihaera raua ko Eritapana, nga tama a Utiere matua keke o Arona, ka mea ki a raua, Haere mai, maua atu o korua tuakana i mua i te wahi tapu, ki waho o te puni.

And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.

5 N a ka haere raua, ka mau i a raua i roto i o raua koti ki waho o te puni; i pera ano raua me ta Mohi i ki ai.

And they went near, and carried them in their vests out of the camp, as Moses had said.

6 N a ka mea a Mohi ki a Arona, ratou ko ana tama ko Ereatara, ko Itamara, Kaua nga makawe o o koutou matenga e waiho kia mahora noa, kaua ano hoki e haea o koutou kakahu; kei mate koutou, kei riria hoki te iwi katoa: engari kia tangihia e o koutou teina, e te whare katoa o Iharaira, te tahunga i tahuna nei e Ihowa.

And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar his sons, Your heads shall ye not uncover, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come on all the assembly; but your brethren, the whole house of Israel, shall bewail the burning which Jehovah hath kindled.

7 K aua hoki koutou e puta i te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, kei mate koutou: kei runga hoki i a koutou te hinu whakawahi a Ihowa. Na ka meatia e ratou ta Mohi i korero ai.

And ye shall not go out from the entrance of the tent of meeting, lest ye die; for the anointing oil of Jehovah is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.

8 N a ka korero a Ihowa ki a Arona, ka mea,

And Jehovah spoke to Aaron, saying,

9 K aua e inumia he waina, tetahi wai whakahaurangi ranei, e koutou tahi ko au tama, ina haere ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, kei mate koutou: hei tikanga pumau tenei ki o koutou whakatupuranga:

Thou shalt not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, and thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of meeting, lest ye die— an everlasting statute throughout your generations,

10 K ia taea ai hoki te wehe, te tapu me te noa, te poke me to pokekore;

that ye may put difference between the holy and the unholy, and between unclean and clean,

11 K ia taea ai hoki te whakaako i nga tama a Iharaira ki nga tikanga katoa i korerotia e Ihowa ki a ratou, ara e Mohi.

and that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Jehovah hath spoken to them by the hand of Moses.

12 I korero ano a Mohi ki a Arona, ki ana tama ano i ora, ki a Ereatara, ki a Itamara, Tikina te whakahere totokore e toe ana o nga whakahere ahi a Ihowa, ka kai rewenakore ai ki te taha o te aata: he tino tapu hoki:

And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the oblation that is left of Jehovah's offerings by fire, and eat it with unleavened bread beside the altar; for it is most holy.

13 A me kai ki te wahi tapu, ko taua wahi hoki o nga whakahere ahi a Ihowa mau, ma au tama hoki: ko te mea tena i whakahaua ki ahau.

And ye shall eat it in a holy place, because it is thy due, and thy sons' due, of Jehovah's offerings by fire; for so I am commanded.

14 K o te uma poipoi me te huha hapahapai me kai ki te wahi pokekore, e koe, e koutou tahi ko au tama, ko au tamahine: i whakaritea hoki ena hei wahi mau, hei wahi hoki ma au tama, he mea homai no roto i nga patunga mo te pai a nga tama a Iharaira.

And the breast of the wave-offering, and the shoulder of the heave-offering shall ye eat in a clean place, thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee; for thy due, and thy sons' due, are they given of the sacrifices of peace-offerings of the children of Israel.

15 M e kawe tahi mai e ratou te huha hapahapai, te uma poipoi, me te ngako mo nga whakahere ahi, a ka poipoia hei whakahere poipoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa; a ka waiho ma koutou tahi ko au tama; hei tikanga pumau tenei; ko ta Ihowa hoki i whakahau ai.

The shoulder of the heave-offering and the breast of the wave-offering shall they bring, with the fire-offering of the pieces of fat, to wave as a wave-offering before Jehovah; and they shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, for an everlasting statute, as Jehovah has commanded.

16 N a ka ata rapu a Mohi i te koati o te whakahere hara, na kua tahuna: na ka riri ia ki a Ereatara raua ko Itamara, ki nga tama a Arona i ora, ka mea,

And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin-offering, and behold, it was burnt up: then he was wroth with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, saying,

17 H e aha te kainga ai e koutou te whakahere hara ki te wahi tapu, he tino tapu nei hoki, a kua homai ano ma koutou, ma koutou hoki e waha te kino o te whakaminenga, e whakamarie hoki mo ratou ki te aroaro o Ihowa?

Why have ye not eaten the sin-offering in a holy place? for it is most holy, and he has given it to you that ye might bear the iniquity of the assembly, to make atonement for them before Jehovah.

18 T itiro hoki, kahore ano ona toto i kawea ki roto ki te wahi tapu: ko te tikanga kia kainga tena e koutou ki te wahi tapu, ko taku hoki i whakahau ai.

Lo, its blood was not brought in within the sanctuary: ye should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.

19 N a ka mea atu a Arona ki a Mohi, Nana, nonaianei i whakaherea ai e ratou ta ratou whakahere hara, me ta ratou tahunga tinana, ki te aroaro o Ihowa; a kua pa mai enei mea ki ahau: a me i kainga te whakahere hara e ahau inaianei, tera ranei e mana kohia mai e Ihowa?

And Aaron said to Moses, Behold, to-day have they presented their sin-offering and their burnt-offering before Jehovah; and such things have befallen me; and had I to-day eaten the sin-offering, would it have been good in the sight of Jehovah?

20 A ka rongo a Mohi, na ka whakaae.

And Moses heard it; and it was good in his sight.
