Levítico 12

Te Purenga o te Wahine i Muri i te Whakawhānau

1 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea: 2 "Kōrero ki ngā tama a Īharaira, mea atu: Ki te hapū tētahi wahine, ā, ka whānau he tāne, nā, kia whitu ngā rā e poke ai ia; kia rite tōna pokenga ki ngā rā o tōna mate paheke. 3 Ā, i te waru o ngā rā ka kotia te kiri matamata o te tamaiti. 4 Ā, me noho te wahine ki te toto o tōna purenga, kia toru tekau mā toru ngā rā. Kaua ia e pā ki tētahi mea tapu, e haere rānei ki te wāhi tapu, kia taka rā anō ngā rā mō tōna purenga. 5 Ki te mea ia ka whānau he kōtiro, kia rua ngā wiki e poke ai, kia rite ki ō tōna paheketanga; ā, kia ono tekau mā ono ngā rā e noho ai ia ki te toto o tōna purenga.

6 "Ā, ka rite ngā rā mō tōna purenga mō te tama, mō te kōtiro rānei, me kawe mai e ia he reme, hei te tau tahi, hei tahunga tinana, me te pī kūkupa, me te kūkupa rānei, hei whakahere hara ki te whatitoka o te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, ki te tohunga. 7 Ā, māna e whakahere ki te aroaro o Ihowā, ā, ka meinga he whakamārie mōna; ā, ka kore ōna poke i te rerenga o ōna toto.

"Ko te ture tēnei mō te wahine kua whānau nei tāna tama, kōtiro rānei. 8 Ā, ki te kāhore e taea e ia i ōna rawa te kawe mai he reme, me kawe mai ngā kūkupa e rua, ngā pī kūkupa rānei e rua; ko tētahi hei tahunga tinana, ko tētahi hei whakahere hara; ā, mā te tohunga e whakamārie mōna, ā, ka kore ōna poke."

1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman conceive seed, and bear a man-child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of the impurity of her sickness shall she be unclean. 3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. 4 And she shall continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled. 5 But if she bear a maid-child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her impurity; and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.

6 And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb a year old for a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtle-dove, for a sin-offering, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest: 7 and he shall offer it before Jehovah, and make atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood. This is the law for her that beareth, whether a male or a female. 8 And if her means suffice not for a lamb, then she shall take two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons; the one for a burnt-offering, and the other for a sin-offering: and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
