Êxodo 30

1 "You shall make an altar to burn incense on. You shall make it of acacia wood. 2 Its length shall be a cubit,*30:2 A cubit is the length from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow on a man’s arm, or about 18 inches or 46 centimeters. and its width a cubit. It shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits. Its horns shall be of one piece with it. 3 You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, its sides around it, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding around it. 4 You shall make two golden rings for it under its molding; on its two ribs, on its two sides you shall make them; and they shall be for places for poles with which to bear it. 5 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. 6 You shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the covenant, before the mercy seat that is over the covenant, where I will meet with you. 7 Aaron shall burn incense of sweet spices on it every morning. When he tends the lamps, he shall burn it. 8 When Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Yahweh throughout your generations. 9 You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering; and you shall pour no drink offering on it. 10 Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once in the year; with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to Yahweh."

11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 12 "When you take a census of the children of Israel, according to those who are counted among them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to Yahweh when you count them, that there be no plague among them when you count them. 13 They shall give this, everyone who passes over to those who are counted, half a shekel according to the shekel*30:13 A shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35 ounces. of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs*30:13 a gerah is about 0.5 grams or about 7.7 grains); half a shekel for an offering to Yahweh. 14 Everyone who passes over to those who are counted, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering to Yahweh. 15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel,*30:15 A shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35 ounces. when they give the offering of Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls. 16 You shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tent of Meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls."

17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 18 "You shall also make a basin of bronze, and its base of bronze, in which to wash. You shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it. 19 Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it. 20 When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they don’t die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Yahweh. 21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die. This shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations."

22 Moreover Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 23 "Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels;*30:23 A shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35 ounces, so 500 shekels is about 5 kilograms or about 11 pounds. and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty; 24 and of cassia five hundred, according to the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin*30:24 A hin is about 6.5 liters or 1.7 gallons. of olive oil. 25 You shall make it into a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil. 26 You shall use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the covenant, 27 the table and all its articles, the lamp stand and its accessories, the altar of incense, 28 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its base. 29 You shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy. 30 You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office. 31 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations. 32 It shall not be poured on man’s flesh, and do not make any like it, according to its composition. It is holy. It shall be holy to you. 33 Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.’"

34 Yahweh said to Moses, "Take to yourself sweet spices, gum resin, onycha, and galbanum: sweet spices with pure frankincense. There shall be an equal weight of each. 35 You shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy. 36 You shall beat some of it very small, and put some of it before the covenant in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be to you most holy. 37 You shall not make this incense, according to its composition, for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for Yahweh. 38 Whoever shall make any like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people."

Te Āta hei Tahunga Mea Kakara

1 "Ā, me hanga e koe he āta hei tahunga mea kakara; ko te rākau e hangā ai he hitimi. 2 Kia kotahi whatīanga te roa, kia kotahi hoki whatīanga te whānui; kia tapawhā. Kia rua whatīanga te teitei; nō taua mea rā anō ngā haona. 3 Me whakakikorua ki te kōura parakore a runga me ōna taha ā taka noa, me ōna haona hoki; me hanga anō te niao kōura ā tawhio noa. 4 Me hanga anō ētahi mōwhiti kōura mōna kia rua, mō raro i tōna niao, ki ōna koki e rua, me hanga ki ōna taha e rua, hei kuhunga mō ngā amo, hei amohanga. 5 He hitimi anō hoki te rākau e hangā ai e koe ngā amo, me whakakikorua ki te kōura. 6 Ka whakatū ai ki mua o te ārai, o tērā i te āka o te whakaaturanga, ki mua o te taupoki i runga o te whakaaturanga, o te wāhi e tūtaki ai ahau ki a koe.

7 "Ā, me tahu e Ārona he whakakakara reka ki runga, i tēnei ata, i tēnei ata; me tahu e ia te whakakakara ki runga, ina whakapaia e ia ngā rama. 8 Ā, ka tahuna e Ārona ngā rama i te ahiahi, me tahu he whakakakara ki runga i taua āta, he whakakakara e mau tonu ana ki te aroaro o Ihowā i ō koutou whakatupuranga. 9 Kei whakaekea he whakakakara kē ki runga, he tahunga tinana rānei, he whakahere totokore rānei; kaua anō e ringihia he ringihanga ki runga. 10 Nā, ka whakamārie a Ārona ki runga ki ōna haona, kia kotahi te meatanga i te tau. Ka whakamārie ia ki te toto o te whakahere hara o te whakamārie ki runga ki taua mea, kia kotahi te meatanga i te tau, puta noa i ō koutou whakatupuranga. He mea tapu rawa tēnā ki a Ihowā."

Te Moni Whakamārie mō te Tapenākara

11 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea, 12 "E taua e koe ngā tāngata o ngā tama a Īharaira, arā ngā mea o rātou e taua ana, me hōmai e tērā, e tērā, he utu mō tōna wairua ki a Ihowā, ina taua rātou; kia kore ai he whiu i roto i a rātou ina taua. 13 Ko tēnei tā rātou e hōmai ai, ko ngā tāngata katoa e haere ana ki roto ki te hunga kua taua, hei te hāwhe o te hekere, o te hekere o te wāhi tapu (e rua tekau ngā kera kei roto i te hekere kotahi) hei te hāwhe hekere te whakahere ki a Ihowā. 14 Ko ngā tāngata katoa e haere ana ki roto ki te hunga kua taua, ko ngā mea e rua tekau ō rātou tau, me ngā mea i maha atu, me hōmai e rātou he whakahere ki a Ihowā. 15 E kore e maha ake a te tangata taonga, e kore anō hoki e torutoru iho i te hāwhe hekere a te rawakore, ina hōmai he whakahere ki a Ihowā, hei whakamārie mō ō koutou wairua. 16 Nā, me tango e koe te moni whakamārie a ngā tama a Īharaira, ā, ka waiho mō ngā mahi o te tapenākara o te whakaminenga; ā, hei whakamahara tēnā ki ngā tama a Īharaira ki te aroaro o Ihowā, hei whakamārie mō ō koutou wairua."

Te Takotoranga Wai Parāhi

17 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea, 18 "Me hanga anō e koe he takotoranga wai ki te parāhi, ki te parāhi anō hoki tōna tūranga, hei horoinga. Ka whakatū ai ki te takiwā o te āta o te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, me riringi anō he wai ki roto; 19 ā, me horoi ō rātou ringa me ō rātou waewae e Ārona rātou ko āna tama ki reira. 20 Ka haere rātou ki roto ki te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, me horoi rātou ki te wai, kei mate; ki te whakatata rānei rātou ki te āta ki te minita, ki te tahu i te whakahere ahi ki a Ihowā. 21 Nā, ka horoi i ō rātou ringa, i ō rātou waewae, kei mate; ā, ka waiho hei tikanga pūmau mā rātou, māna, mā ōna uri, i ō rātou whakatupuranga."

Te Hinu Whakawahia

22 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea, 23 "Tīkina māu he tino mea kakara: he maira pai, kia rima rau hekere, he hinamona reka, me hāwhe tērā, arā, kia rua rau kia rima tekau hekere, me te karamuha reka, kia rua rau kia rima tekau hekere, 24 he kahia hoki, kia rima rau hekere – ki ngā hekere o te wāhi tapu – me te hinu ōriwa, kia kotahi hine; 25 ā, me hanga e koe hei hinu mō te whakawahinga tapu, he hinu whakaranu, he mea kakara, ko tā te kaiwhakaranu e hanga ai; ka waiho hei hinu mō te whakawahinga tapu. 26 Ka whakawahia ai te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, me te āka hoki o te whakaaturanga, 27 me te tēpu, me ngā oko katoa i runga, me te tūranga rama, me ōna oko, me te āta whakakakara, 28 me te āta tahunga tinana, me ōna oko katoa, me te takotoranga wai, me tōna tūranga. 29 Ā, me whakatapu kia tino tapu; ka tapu ngā mea katoa e pā ana ki aua mea.

30 "Me whakawahi anō e koe a Ārona rātou ko āna tama, me whakatapu hoki rātou hei tohunga māku. 31 Me kōrero anō e koe ki ngā tama a Īharaira, me kī atu, ‘Hei hinu tēnei māku, mō te whakawahinga tapu i ō koutou whakatupuranga. 32 Kei ringihia ki te kikokiko tangata kei hangā anō tētahi mea pēnā, e rite ana ki tōna hanganga; he tapu tēnā, ā, ka tapu ki a koutou. 33 Ki te whakaranua e te tangata tētahi mea pēnā; ki te makā rānei e ia ki runga ki te tangata kē, inā, ka hātepea atu ia i roto i tōna iwi.’ "

Te Mea Kakara

34 I mea anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, "Tīkina māu he mea kakara, he takete, he oneka, he karapanuma; ēnei mea kakara me te parakihe parakore (kia rite te taimaha o tētahi, o tētahi), 35 ka whakaranu ai hei mea kakara, ko tā te kaiwhakaranu e hanga ai, he mea rongoā ki te tote, he mea parakore, he mea tapu. 36 Nā, ka tukia tētahi wāhi kia ririki rawa, ka whakatakoto ai i tētahi wāhi ki mua mai o te whakaaturanga i roto i te tapenākara o te whakaminenga, ki te wāhi e tūtaki ai ahau ki a koe; hei mea tino tapu tēnā ki a koutou. 37 Ā, ko taua mea kakara ka hangā nei e koe, kei hangā tētahi mā koutou he rite te hanganga ki tō tērā; hei mea tapu tēnā ki a koe mā Ihowā. 38 Ki te hangā e te tangata he mea pēnā, hei honginga māna, ka hātepea atu ia i roto i tōna iwi."
