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

The Lord said to Moses,

2 W hakahaua nga tama a Iharaira kia motuhia ketia atu nga repera katoa i roto i te puni, nga tangata katoa e rere ana te pirau, me nga tangata katoa e poke ana i te tupapaku.

Command the Israelites that they put outside the camp every leper and everyone who has a discharge, and whoever is defiled by the dead.

3 K o te tane, ko te wahine, me ngare atu, me ngare e koutou ki waho o te puni: kei poke i a ratou o ratou puni e nohoia nei e ahau.

Both male and female you shall put out; without the camp you shall put them, that they may not defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell.

4 N a peratia ana e nga tama a Iharaira, a motuhia ketia ana ratou i roto i te puni: rite tonu ki ta Ihowa i korero ai ki a Mohi ta nga tama a Iharaira i mea ai.

The Israelites did so, and put them outside the camp; as the Lord said to Moses, so the Israelites did.

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

And the Lord said to Moses,

6 M ea atu ki nga tama a Iharaira, Ki te mahia e te tangata, e te wahine ranei, tetahi mea e hara ai te tangata, hei mahi i te kino ki a Ihowa, a ka he taua wairua;

Say to the Israelites, When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit by breaking faith with the Lord, and that person is guilty,

7 N a me whaki to ratou hara i hara ai: me whakahoki e ia te mea i he ai ia, te tino mea, me tapiri ano ki tona whakarima, ka hoatu ai ki te tangata i hara nei ia ki a ia.

Then he shall confess the sin which he has committed, and he shall make restitution for his wrong in full, and add a fifth to it, and give it to him whom he has wronged.

8 O tiia ki te kahore he whanaunga o taua tangata hei hoatutanga mo te utu, me hoatu te utu mo te hara ki a Ihowa, ara ki te tohunga; hei tapiri mo te hipi whakamarie hei whakamarie mona.

But if the man has no kinsman to whom the restitution may be made, let it be given to the Lord for the priest, besides the ram of atonement with which atonement shall be made for the offender.

9 N a, ko nga whakahere hapahapai katoa o nga mea tapu katoa a nga tama a Iharaira, e kawea ana ki te tohunga, mana era.

And every offering of all the holy things of the Israelites which they bring to the priest shall be his.

10 M ana ake nga mea tapu a te tangata: ko ta te tangata e hoatu ai ki te tohunga, mana tena.

And every man’s hallowed things shall be the priest’s; whatever any man gives the priest shall be his.

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

And the Lord said to Moses,

12 K orero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, Ki te peka ke te wahine a tetahi tangata, a ka hara ki a ia,

Say to the Israelites, If any man’s wife goes astray and commits an offense of guilt against him,

13 A ka takoto, ka puremu tetahi ki a ia, a ka ngaro i nga kanohi o tana tahu, ka huna, a ka poke te wahine, kahore ano hoki he kaiwhakaatu mo tona he, kahore ano ia i mau rawa;

And a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and it is kept secret though she is defiled, and there is no witness against her nor was she taken in the act,

14 A ka tau ki a ia te wairua hae, a ka hae ia ki tana wahine, a ka poke te wahine: ki te tau ranei ki a ia te wairua hae, a ka hae ia ki tana wahine kihai nei i poke;

And if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he is jealous and suspicious of his wife who has defiled herself—or if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he is jealous and suspicious of his wife though she has not defiled herself—

15 K atahi ka kawe taua tangata i tana wahine ki te tohunga, me kawe ano e ia ta te wahine whakahere hei mea mona, te whakatekau epa paraoa parei; kaua he hinu e ringihia ki runga, kaua ano he parakihe e hoatu ki runga; he whakahere totokore hoki mo te hae, he whakahere whakamahara, hei whakamahara ki te kino.

Then shall the man bring his wife to the priest, and he shall bring the offering required of her, a tenth of an ephah of barley meal; but he shall pour no oil upon it nor put frankincense on it, for it is a cereal offering of jealousy and suspicion, a memorial offering bringing iniquity to remembrance.

16 N a ka nekehia mai ia e te tohunga, a ka whakaturia ki te aroaro o Ihowa:

And the priest shall bring her near and set her before the Lord.

17 A ka mau te tohunga ki te wai tapu i te oko oneone; ka mau ano te tohunga ki tetahi wahi o te puehu o te papa o te tapenakara, ka maka ai ki te wai:

And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel and take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it in the water.

18 N a ka whakaturia e te tohunga te wahine ki te aroaro o Ihowa, a ka tuku i nga makawe o te wahine kia mahora noa, ka hoatu ai i te whakahere whakamahara ki ona ringa, ara i te whakahere totokore mo te hae: hei te ringa ia o te tohunga te wai kawa e tau ai te kanga:

And the priest shall set the woman before the Lord, and let the hair of the woman’s head hang loose, and put the meal offering of remembrance in her hands, which is the jealousy and suspicion offering. And the priest shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that brings the curse.

19 N a ka whakaoati te tohunga i a ia, a ka mea ki te wahine, Ki te mea kahore ano tetahi tangata i takoto ki a koe, ki te kahore ano hoki koe i peka atu, i poke, i te mea i raro koe i tau tane, kia ora koe i tenei wai kawa e tau ai te kanga:

Then the priest shall make her take an oath, and say to the woman, If no man has lain with you and if you have not gone astray to uncleanness with another instead of your husband, then be free from any effect of this water of bitterness which brings the curse.

20 K i te mea ia kua peka ke koe, i te mea i raro koe i tau tane, a kua poke koe, a kua takoto ki a koe tetahi tangata ehara nei i te tane nau:

But if you have gone astray and you are defiled, some man having lain with you beside your husband,

21 K atahi ka whakaoati te tohunga i te wahine ki te oati kanga, a ka mea te tohunga ki te wahine, Ma Ihowa koe e mea hei kanga, hei oati i roto i tou iwi, ina mea a Ihowa kia pirau tou huha, kia pupuhi hoki tou puku;

Then the priest shall make the woman take the oath of the curse, and say to the woman, The Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people when the Lord makes your thigh fall away and your body swell.

22 A ka tae ki roto ki ou whekau tenei wai e tau ai te kanga, e pupuhi ai tou puku, e pirau ai tou huha: me ki te wahine, Amine, Amine.

May this water that brings the curse go into your bowels and make your body swell and your thigh fall away. And the woman shall say, So let it be, so let it be.

23 A me tuhituhi enei kanga e te tohunga ki te pukapuka, ka horoi atu ano e ia ki roto ki te wai kawa:

The priest shall then write these curses in a book and shall wash them off into the water of bitterness;

24 N a ka whakainumia e ia te wahine ki te wai kawa e tau ai te kanga, a ka tae te wai e tau ai te kanga ki roto ki a ia, ka kawa.

And he shall cause the woman to drink the water of bitterness that brings the curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter into her bitterly.

25 M e tango hoki e te tohunga te whakahere mo te hae i te ringa o te wahine, a ka poipoia te whakahere ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ka whakaherea ki runga ki te aata:

Then the priest shall take the cereal offering of jealousy and suspicion out of the woman’s hand and shall wave the offering before the Lord and offer it upon the altar.

26 N a ka aohia e te tohunga tetahi wahi o te whakahere, kia ki te ringa, ko tona whakamaharatanga hoki, a ka tahuna ki runga ki te aata, a muri iho ka whakainumia te wahine ki te wai.

And the priest shall take a handful of the cereal offering as the memorial portion of it and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.

27 A ka oti ia te whakainu ki te wai, na ki te mea kua poke ia, kua hara ki tana tahu, na ka tae ki roto ki a ia te wai e tau ai te kanga, ka kawa, a ka pupuhi tona puku, ka pirau hoki tona huha: a hei mea kanga tena wahine i roto i tona iwi.

And when he has made her drink the water, then if she is defiled and has committed a trespass against her husband, the curse water which she drank shall be bitterness and cause her body to swell and her thigh to fall away, and the woman shall be a curse among her people.

28 A ki te mea kihai i poke te wahine, a e ma ana; na ka ora, a ka whai tamariki.

But if the woman is not defiled and is clean, then she shall be free and be able to have children.

29 K o te ture tenei mo nga hae, mehemea te wahine, kei raro nei ia i tana tane, ka peka ke, a ka poke;

This is the law of jealousy and suspicion when a wife goes aside to another instead of her husband and is defiled,

30 I na tau iho ranei te wairua hae ki tetahi, a ka hae ia ki tana wahine; na me whakatu taua wahine e ia ki te aroaro o Ihowa; na ka mahia e te tohunga tenei ture katoa ki a ia.

Or when the spirit of jealousy and suspicion comes upon a man and he is jealous and suspicious of his wife; then shall he set the woman before the Lord, and the priest shall execute on her all this law.

31 N a ka kore he he mo te tangata, a ka waha e taua wahine tona kino.

The shall be free from iniquity and guilt, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.
