1 T hen He brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which faces the east; and it was shut.

Katahi 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.

2 T he Lord said to me, “This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no one shall enter by it, for the Lord God of Israel has entered by it; therefore it shall be shut.

Na 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.

3 A s for the prince, he shall sit in it as prince to eat bread before the Lord; he shall enter by way of the porch of the gate and shall go out by the same way.”

Tena 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.

4 T hen He brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the house; and I looked, and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord, and I fell on my face.

Katahi 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.

5 T he Lord said to me, “Son of man, mark well, see with your eyes and hear with your ears all that I say to you concerning all the statutes of the house of the Lord and concerning all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with all exits of the sanctuary.

Na 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.

6 Y ou shall say to the rebellious ones, to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “ Enough of all your abominations, O house of Israel,

Me 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.

7 w hen you brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in My sanctuary to profane it, even My house, when you offered My food, the fat and the blood; for they made My covenant void— this in addition to all your abominations.

Kua 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.

8 A nd you have not kept charge of My holy things yourselves, but you have set foreigners to keep charge of My sanctuary.”

Kihai 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.

9 ‘ Thus says the Lord God, “ No foreigner uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, of all the foreigners who are among the sons of Israel, shall enter My sanctuary.

Ko 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.

10 B ut the Levites who went far from Me when Israel went astray, who went astray from Me after their idols, shall bear the punishment for their iniquity.

Engari, 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.

11 Y et they shall be ministers in My sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house and ministering in the house; they shall slaughter the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.

Otiia 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.

12 B ecause they ministered to them before their idols and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have sworn against them,” declares the Lord God, “that they shall bear the punishment for their iniquity.

No 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.

13 A nd they shall not come near to Me to serve as a priest to Me, nor come near to any of My holy things, to the things that are most holy; but they will bear their shame and their abominations which they have committed.

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.

14 Y et I will appoint them to keep charge of the house, of all its service and of all that shall be done in it. Ordinances for the Levites

Otira 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.

15 “ But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from Me, shall come near to Me to minister to Me; and they shall stand before Me to offer Me the fat and the blood,” declares the Lord God.

Engari 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:

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

Ko 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.

17 I t shall be that when they enter at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and wool shall not be on them while they are ministering in the gates of the inner court and in the house.

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.

18 L inen turbans shall be on their heads and linen undergarments shall be on their loins; they shall not gird themselves with anything which makes them sweat.

He 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.

19 W hen they go out into the outer court, into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they have been ministering and lay them in the holy chambers; then they shall put on other garments so that they will not transmit holiness to the people with their garments.

Na 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.

20 A lso they shall not shave their heads, yet they shall not let their locks grow long; they shall only trim the hair of their heads.

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

21 N or shall any of the priests drink wine when they enter the inner court.

Kaua ano tetahi tohunga e inu waina, ina haere ratou ki to roto marae.

22 A nd they shall not marry a widow or a divorced woman but shall take virgins from the offspring of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.

Kaua 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.

23 M oreover, they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

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.

24 I n a dispute they shall take their stand to judge; they shall judge it according to My ordinances. They shall also keep My laws and My statutes in all My appointed feasts and sanctify My sabbaths.

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.

25 T hey shall not go to a dead person to defile themselves; however, for father, for mother, for son, for daughter, for brother, or for a sister who has not had a husband, they may defile themselves.

Kaua 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.

26 A fter he is cleansed, seven days shall elapse for him.

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

27 O n the day that he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering,” declares the Lord God.

Na, 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.

28 “ And it shall be with regard to an inheritance for them, that I am their inheritance; and you shall give them no possession in Israel—I am their possession.

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.

29 T hey shall eat the grain offering, the sin offering and the guilt offering; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs.

Ko 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.

30 T he first of all the first fruits of every kind and every contribution of every kind, from all your contributions, shall be for the priests; you shall also give to the priest the first of your dough to cause a blessing to rest on your house.

Na, 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.
