1 K orero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 K orero ki a Arona ratou ko ana tama kia wehea ratou i nga mea tapu a nga tama a Iharaira, e whakatapua ana e ratou maku kei noa toku ingoa tapu: ko Ihowa ahau.

“Speak to Aaron and his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they do not profane My holy name by what they dedicate to Me: I am the Lord.

3 M ea atu ki a ratou, Ki te whakatata tetahi o o koutou uri katoa, puta noa i o koutou whakatupuranga, ki nga mea tapu e whakatapua ana e nga tama a Iharaira ma Ihowa, me te mau ano tona poke, ka hatepea atu taua wairua i toku aroaro: ko Ihowa ahau.

Say to them: ‘Whoever of all your descendants throughout your generations, who goes near the holy things which the children of Israel dedicate to the Lord, while he has uncleanness upon him, that person shall be cut off from My presence: I am the Lord.

4 K i te mea he repera tetahi o nga uri o Arona, ki te mea ranei he rere tona; kei kainga e ia nga mea tapu; kia kore ra ano ona poke. Ki te pa hoki tetahi ki te mea i poke i te tupapaku, ki te tangata ranei kua paheke atu tona purapura moenga;

‘Whatever man of the descendants of Aaron, who is a leper or has a discharge, shall not eat the holy offerings until he is clean. And whoever touches anything made unclean by a corpse, or a man who has had an emission of semen,

5 K i te pa ranei tetahi ki te mea ngoki, e poke ai ia, ki te tangata ranei e poke ai ia, ahakoa he aha ranei, he aha ranei, tona poke:

or whoever touches any creeping thing by which he would be made unclean, or any person by whom he would become unclean, whatever his uncleanness may be—

6 K a poke a ahiahi noa te tangata i pa ki taua mea, kaua ano hoki ia e kai i nga mea tapu, ki te kahore i horoia e ia tona kikokiko ki te wai.

the person who has touched any such thing shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat the holy offerings unless he washes his body with water.

7 A , ka to te ra, ka kore ona poke; a muri iho, ka kai i nga mea tapu, no te mea ko tana kai tena:

And when the sun goes down he shall be clean; and afterward he may eat the holy offerings, because it is his food.

8 H e mea mate maori, i haea ranei e te kirehe, kaua tena e kainga e ia, kei poke: ko Ihowa ahau.

Whatever dies naturally or is torn by beasts he shall not eat, to defile himself with it: I am the Lord.

9 I na, kia mau ratou ki taku i whakarite ai, kei whai hara, a ka mate ki te whakanoatia e ratou: ko Ihowa ahau te whakatapu nei i a ratou.

‘They shall therefore keep My ordinance, lest they bear sin for it and die thereby, if they profane it: I the Lord sanctify them.

10 K aua tetahi manene e kai i te mea tapu: kaua te tangata e noho ana ki te tohunga, te kaimahi ranei, e kai i te mea tapu.

‘No outsider shall eat the holy offering; one who dwells with the priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat the holy thing.

11 O tiia ki te hokona tetahi tangata e te tohunga ki tana moni, e kai ano ia; me nga tangata ano i whanau ki tona whare, e kai ano ratou i tana kai.

But if the priest buys a person with his money, he may eat it; and one who is born in his house may eat his food.

12 H e tamahine hoki na te tohunga kua riro i te tangata iwi ke, kaua ia e kai i te whakahere poipoi o nga mea tapu.

If the priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she may not eat of the holy offerings.

13 O tiia ki te mea he pouaru te tamahine a te tohunga, i whakarerea atu ranei, a kahore ana tamariki, kua hoki mai ano ki te whare o tona papa, kua pera me ia i tona taitamahinetanga, e kai ano ia i te kai a tona papa; kaua ia te tangata ke e kai.

But if the priest’s daughter is a widow or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat her father’s food; but no outsider shall eat it.

14 A ki te kai pohehe te tangata i te mea tapu, me tapiri e ia te whakarima o taua mea, a ka homai tahi me te mea tapu ki te tohunga.

‘And if a man eats the holy offering unintentionally, then he shall restore a holy offering to the priest, and add one-fifth to it.

15 K ei whakanoatia e ratou nga mea tapu a nga tama a Iharaira, e whakaherea ana ma Ihowa;

They shall not profane the holy offerings of the children of Israel, which they offer to the Lord,

16 K ei meinga ratou kia whakawaha i te kino o te he, ina kai i a ratou mea tapu: ko Ihowa hoki ahau te whakatapu nei i a ratou.

or allow them to bear the guilt of trespass when they eat their holy offerings; for I the Lord sanctify them.’” Offerings Accepted and Not Accepted

17 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

18 K orero ki a Arona, ki ana tama, ki nga tama katoa ano a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, Ko te tangata o te whare o Iharaira, o nga manene ranei i roto i a Iharaira, e mea ana ki te tapae i tana whakahere, he ki taurangi, he mea tuku noa ranei nana, ta ratou e tapae ai ki a Ihowa hei tahunga tinana;

“Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘Whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, who offers his sacrifice for any of his vows or for any of his freewill offerings, which they offer to the Lord as a burnt offering—

19 K ia manakohia ai koutou, ko ta koutou e tapae ai hei te toa kohakore, no roto i nga kau, i nga hipi ranei, i nga koati ranei.

you shall offer of your own free will a male without blemish from the cattle, from the sheep, or from the goats.

20 K aua rawa ia e whakaherea tetahi mea he koha tona: no te mea e kore e manakohia hei mea ma koutou.

Whatever has a defect, you shall not offer, for it shall not be acceptable on your behalf.

21 K i te whakaherea ano hoki e tetahi he patunga mo te pai ki a Ihowa, hei whakamana mo te ki taurangi, hei whakahere tuku noa ake ranei, he kau, he hipi ranei, hei te mea kohakore, kia manakohia ai: kei whai koha.

And whoever offers a sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord, to fulfill his vow, or a freewill offering from the cattle or the sheep, it must be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no defect in it.

22 H e matapo, he whati, he kopa, kua whai puku, he papaka, he mea hakihaki ranei, kaua ena e whakaherea ma Ihowa, kaua ano e homai hei whakahere ahi ki runga ki te aata ma Ihowa.

Those that are blind or broken or maimed, or have an ulcer or eczema or scabs, you shall not offer to the Lord, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to the Lord.

23 H e puru, he reme ranei, e hira ake ana, kua kore ranei tetahi wahi ona, e whakaherea ano tena e koe hei whakahere noa ake; otiia e kore e manakohia mo te ki taurangi.

Either a bull or a lamb that has any limb too long or too short you may offer as a freewill offering, but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

24 K aua e whakaherea ma Ihowa te mea i romia, te mea ranei i kurua, i unuhia ranei, i pokaia ranei; kaua ano hoki e pena i to koutou whenua.

‘You shall not offer to the Lord what is bruised or crushed, or torn or cut; nor shall you make any offering of them in your land.

25 K aua ano hoki tetahi o enei e tapaea hei kai ma to koutou Atua, ina homai e te tangata iwi ke; he whakahe hoki kei roto, he koha kei roto: e kore enei e manakohia hei mea ma koutou.

Nor from a foreigner’s hand shall you offer any of these as the bread of your God, because their corruption is in them, and defects are in them. They shall not be accepted on your behalf.’”

26 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

27 K a whanau he kau, he hipi, he koati ranei, kia whitu nga ra e waiho, ai ki tona whaea; a i te waru o nga ra, i o muri iho hoki, ka manakohia hei whakahere ahi ma Ihowa.

“When a bull or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall be seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day and thereafter it shall be accepted as an offering made by fire to the Lord.

28 O tiia ahakoa he kau, he hipi ranei, kaua raua ko tana kuao e patua i te rangi kotahi.

Whether it is a cow or ewe, do not kill both her and her young on the same day.

29 K a patua ano e koutou he patunga whakawhetai ki a Ihowa, hei te patunga e manakohia ai koutou.

And when you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, offer it of your own free will.

30 M e kai i taua rangi ano; kaua e waiho tetahi wahi ki te ata: ko Ihowa ahau.

On the same day it shall be eaten; you shall leave none of it until morning: I am the Lord.

31 N a, kia mau ki aku whakahau, mahia hoki; ko Ihowa ahau.

“Therefore you shall keep My commandments, and perform them: I am the Lord.

32 K aua ano e whakanoatia toku ingoa tapu; engari me whakatapu ahau i roto i nga tama a Iharaira: ko Ihowa ahau te whakatapu nei i a koutou,

You shall not profane My holy name, but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel. I am the Lord who sanctifies you,

33 I whakaputa mai nei hoki i a koutou i te whenua o Ihipa, kia waiho ai hei Atua mo koutou: ko Ihowa ahau.

who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord.”
