Levítico 17

He Tapu te Toto

1 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea: 2 "Kōrero ki a Ārona, ki āna tama, ki ngā tama katoa a Īharaira, mea atu ki a rātou: Ko te mea tēnei i whakahau ai a Ihowā, i mea ai: 3 Ki te patua e tētahi tangata o te whare o Īharaira he kau, he reme, he koati rānei, i roto i te puni, ki te patua rānei e ia ki waho o te puni, 4 ā, e kore e kawea ki te whatitoka o te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, kia whakaherea he whakahere ki a Ihowā ki mua i te tapenākara o Ihowā. Ka whakairia he toto ki taua tangata; kua whakaheke toto ia; ā, ka hātepea atu taua tangata i roto i tōna iwi. 5 He mea kia kawea ai e ngā tama a Īharaira ā rātou patunga e whakaherea ana e rātou i te mata o te pārae, kia kawea ai hoki ki a Ihowā, ki te whatitoka o te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, ki te tohunga, ka patu ai hei whakahere mō te pai ki a Ihowā. 6 Ā, ka tāuhiuhia te toto e te tohunga ki te āta a Ihowā i te whatitoka o te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, me tahu anō e ia te ngako hei kakara reka ki a Ihowā. 7 Ā, ka mutu ā rātou patunga tapu ki ngā rēwera i whāia nei e rātou, pūremu atu ai. Hei tikanga pūmau tēnei ki a rātou i ō rātou whakatupuranga.

8 "Me kī atu anō ki a rātou: Ki te whakaherea e tētahi tangata o te whare o Īharaira, o ngā manene rānei i roto i a koutou, tētahi tahunga tinana, patunga tapu rānei, 9 ā, e kore e kawea ki te whatitoka o te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, whakahere ai ki a Ihowā; inā, ka hātepea atu taua tangata i roto i tōna iwi."

Te Riri ana i te Kainga Toto

10 "Ki te kainga hoki tētahi toto e tētahi tangata o te whare o Īharaira, o ngā manene rānei i roto i a koutou; ka ū atu tōku mata ki taua wairua i kainga ai te toto, ā, ka hātepea atu e ahau i roto i tōna iwi. 11 Kei roto hoki i te toto te oranga o te kikokiko; kua hoatu anō e ahau ki a koutou mō runga i te āta, hei whakamārie mō ō koutou wairua; ko te toto hoki, nā tōna ora, te mea hei whakamārie. 12 Koia ahau i mea ai ki ngā tama a Īharaira: Kaua tētahi o koutou e kai toto, kaua anō hoki te manene i roto i a koutou e kai toto.

13 "Ki te whai hoki tētahi o ngā tama a Īharaira, o ngā manene rānei i roto i a koutou, ā, ka mau tētahi kīrehe, tētahi manu rānei e tika ana kia kainga; me riringi ōna toto, ka tanu ai ki te puehu. 14 Nō te mea ko te toto o te kikokiko e kotahi katoa āna me te ora o te kikokiko; koia ahau i mea ai ki ngā tama a Īharaira: Kaua rawa e kainga te toto o tētahi kikokiko; ko te toto hoki te ora o ngā kikokiko katoa; ki te kainga e tētahi, ka hātepea atu.

15 "Ki te kainga hoki e tētahi te mea i mate māori, te mea rānei i haea e te kīrehe, ahakoa tangata whenua, iwi kē rānei, me horoi ōna kākahu, me ia anō me horoi ki te wai, ka poke hoki ā ahiahi noa; kātahi ka kore te poke. 16 Ā, ki te kāhore e horoia e ia, ki te kāhore hoki e horoia tōna tinana, nā, ka waha e ia tōna kino."

1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them: This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, saying, 3 What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it without the camp, 4 and hath not brought it unto the door of the tent of meeting, to offer it as an oblation unto Jehovah before the tabernacle of Jehovah: blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people: 5 to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, even that they may bring them unto Jehovah, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace-offerings unto Jehovah. 6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of Jehovah at the door of the tent of meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet savor unto Jehovah. 7 And they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices unto the he-goats, after which they play the harlot. This shall be a statute forever unto them throughout their generations.

8 And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that offereth a burnt-offering or sacrifice, 9 and bringeth it not unto the door of the tent of meeting, to sacrifice it unto Jehovah; that man shall be cut off from his people.

10 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood, I will set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life. 12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. 13 And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, who taketh in hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.

14 For as to the life of all flesh, the blood thereof is all one with the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh; for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off. 15 And every soul that eateth that which dieth of itself, or that which is torn of beasts, whether he be home-born or a sojourner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean. 16 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.
