Números 35

Ngā Pā mā ngā Rīwaiti

1 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi i ngā mānia o Moapa, i te wāhi o Horano, ki Heriko, i mea, 2 "Whakahaua ngā tama a Īharaira kia hōmai ki ngā Rīwaiti ētahi pā o ō rātou kāinga ka riro nei i a rātou hei nohoanga; me hoatu anō ki ngā Rīwaiti ngā wāhi o waho o aua pā ā tawhio noa. 3 Ā, ko ngā pā hei nohoanga mō rātou; ko ngā wāhi hoki o waho ake mō ā rātou kararehe, mō ō rātou taonga, mō ā rātou kīrehe katoa.

4 "Ā, ko ngā wāhi o waho o ngā pā, e hoatu e koutou ki ngā Rīwaiti, kia kotahi mano ngā whatīanga i te taiepa atu anō o te pā, ā, haere whakawaho ā tawhio noa. 5 Me rūri anō e koutou i waho o te pā, i te taha ki te rāwhiti kia rua mano whatīanga, i te taha ki te tonga kia rua mano whatīanga, i te taha ki te hauāuru kia rua mano whatīanga, i te taha hoki ki te raki kia rua mano whatīanga, ā, hei waenganui te pā. Ko ngā wāhi tēnei mō rātou o waho i ngā pā.

6 "Ā, kia ono ngā pā whakaora i roto i ngā pā e hoatu e koutou ki ngā Rīwaiti; me hoatu hei rerenga atu mō te kaiwhakamate. Kia whā tekau mā rua hoki ngā pā e tāpiritia e koutou ki ēnā. 7 Ko ngā pā katoa e hoatu e koutou ki ngā Rīwaiti, kia whā tekau mā waru; ērā, me ngā wāhi o waho ake. 8 Ā, hei roto i te wāhi tūturu o ngā tama a Īharaira ngā pā e hoatu e koutou; kia maha i roto i ngā mea maha, kia ouou hoki i roto i ngā mea ouou, kia rite ki tōna kāinga e riro i a ia ōna pā e hoatu e tērā, e tērā, ki ngā Rīwaiti."

Ngā Pā Whakaora

9 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea: 10 "Kōrero ki ngā tama a Īharaira, mea atu ki a rātou, E whiti koutou i Horano ki te whenua o Kanaana; 11 nā, ka whakarite i ētahi pā mō koutou hei pā whakaora, hei rerenga atu mō te tangata whakamate, i whakamate nei i te tangata, otiia ehara i te mea āta whakaaro. 12 Ā, ka waiho e koutou hei pā whakaora kei mate i te kaitakitaki; kei mate te tangata whakamate, kia tū rā anō ia ki te aroaro o te whakaminenga, kia whakawākia.

13 "Ā, kia ono ngā pā e waiho hei whakaora, o ngā pā e hoatu nei e koutou. 14 Kia toru ngā pā e hoatu e koutou i tēnei taha o Horano, kia toru hoki ngā pā e hoatu e koutou i te whenua o Kanaana; me waiho hei pā whakaora. 15 Hei whakaora ēnei pā e ono mō ngā tama a Īharaira, mō te manene, mō te nohonoa i roto i a koutou; hei rerenga atu mō ngā tāngata i mate ai tētahi, otiia ehara i te mea āta whakaaro."

He Ture ki te Kōhuru, te Mate Pokerehū

16 "Otiia, ki te patu ia i a ia ki te mea rino, ā, ka mate, he kaikōhuru ia; kia mate rawa te kaikōhuru. 17 Ki te patu anō hoki ia i a ia ki te kōhatu i whiua e ia kia mate rawa ai, ā, ka mate, he kaikōhuru ia; kia mate rawa te kaikōhuru. 18 Ki te patu rānei ia i a ia ki te mea rākau a te ringa kia mate ai, ā, ka mate, he kaikōhuru ia; kia mate rawa te kaikōhuru. 19 Mā te kaitakitaki toto ake anō e whakamate te kaikōhuru; e whakamate ia i a ia ina tūtaki ki a ia.

20 "Ki te mea he ngākau kino tōna, ā, i ka wero ia i a ia; ki te whanga atu rānei ia, ā, ka epaina atu ia kia mate; 21 ki te mauāhara rānei ia, ā, ka patu i a ia ki tōna ringa e mate ai ia; kia mate rawa te kaipatu, he kaikōhuru ia. E whakamatea te kaikōhuru e te kaitakitaki toto, ina tūtaki ki a ia.

22 "Tēnā ia, mehemea he oho noa ake tāna wero i a ia, ā, ehara i te mea mauāhara; ki te epaina rānei ia ki tētahi mea, ā, kīhai i whanga atu; 23 ki te kōhatu rānei, ki te mea e mate ai, ā, kīhai i kitea atu, nā kua ū ki a ia, ā, ka mate, kāhore anō hoki ōna mauāhara ki a ia, kīhai anō hoki i rapu i te hē mōna; 24 kātahi ka whakarite te whakaminenga i tā te kaipatu, i tā te kaitakitaki toto; kia rite ki ēnei ritenga. 25 Ā, ka whakaorangia e te whakaminenga te kaiwhakamate i roto i te ringa o te kaitakitaki toto, me whakahoki anō ia e te whakaminenga ki tōna pā whakaora, i rere atu ai ia; ā, ka noho ia ki reira ā mate noa te tino tohunga i whakawahia ki te hinu tapu.

26 "Ki te puta kau atu te kaiwhakamate ki waho o te rohe o tōna pā whakaora i rere atu nei ia; 27 ā, ka pono ki a ia te kaitakitaki toto ki waho o te rohe o tōna pā whakaora, ā, ka patua te kaiwhakamate e te kaitakitaki toto, e kore e whakairia he toto ki a ia. 28 Me noho hoki ia i roto i tōna pā whakaora, kia mate rā anō te tino tohunga; ā muri iho i te matenga o te tino tohunga ka hoki te kaiwhakamate ki tōna whenua tupu.

29 "Nā, hei tikanga whakawā ēnei mā koutou, i ō koutou whakatupuranga, i ō koutou nohoanga katoa.

30 "Ki te patu tētahi i te tangata, mā te māngai o ngā kaiwhakaatu e whakamatea ai te kaikōhuru. Kaua anō te kaiwhakaatu kotahi e whakatau hē ki tētahi, e mate ai.

31 "Kaua anō hoki e tangohia he utu mō te kaikōhuru kia ora, ki te mea he hara tōna e mate ai. Engari, kia mate rawa ia.

32 "Kaua anō e tango utu mō te tangata i rere ki tōna pā whakaora, kia hoki ai ia ki te whenua noho ai; kia mate rā anō te tohunga.

33 "Kia kore ai e whakapokea e koutou te whenua kei reira nei koutou; mā ngā toto hoki e poke ai te whenua; heoi anō hoki te mea hei pure i ngā toto i whakahekea ki te whenua, ko ngā toto o te kaiwhakaheke. 34 Kaua e whakapokea te whenua e noho ai koutou, e noho ai ahau; nō te mea e noho ana ahau, a Ihowā, i waenganui i ngā tama a Īharaira."
