Levítico 22

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am Yahweh.

3 "Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Yahweh.

4 "‘Whoever of the offspring of Aaron is a leper or has a discharge shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man who has a seminal emission, 5 or whoever touches any creeping thing by which he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may become unclean, whatever uncleanness he has— 6 the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathes his body in water. 7 When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread. 8 He shall not eat that which dies of itself or is torn by animals, defiling himself by it. I am Yahweh.

9 "‘They shall therefore follow my commandment, lest they bear sin for it and die in it, if they profane it. I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.

10 "‘No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. 11 But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and those who are born in his house shall eat of his bread. 12 If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things. 13 But if a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread; but no stranger shall eat any of it.

14 "‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest. 15 The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to Yahweh, 16 and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things; for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.’"

17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 18 "Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to Yahweh for a burnt offering: 19 that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats. 20 But you shall not offer whatever has a defect, for it shall not be acceptable for you. 21 Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh to accomplish a vow, or for a free will offering of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect. 22 You shall not offer what is blind, is injured, is maimed, has a wart, is festering, or has a running sore to Yahweh, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Yahweh. 23 Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a free will offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted. 24 You must not offer to Yahweh that which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut. You must not do this in your land. 25 You must not offer any of these as the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner, because their corruption is in them. There is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’"

26 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 27 "When a bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother. From the eighth day on it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to Yahweh. 28 Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.

29 "When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted. 30 It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am Yahweh.

31 "Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am Yahweh. 32 You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am Yahweh who makes you holy, 33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am Yahweh."

He Tapu ngā Whakahere

1 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea, 2 "Kōrero ki a Ārona rātou ko āna tama kia wehea rātou i ngā mea tapu a ngā tama a Īharaira, e whakatapua ana e rātou māku kei noa tōku ingoa tapu. Ko Ihowā ahau.

3 "Mea atu ki a rātou: Ki te whakatata tētahi o ō koutou uri katoa, puta noa i ō koutou whakatupuranga, ki ngā mea tapu e whakatapua ana e ngā tama a Īharaira mā Ihowā, me te mau anō tōna poke, ka hātepea atu taua wairua i tōku aroaro. Ko Ihowā ahau.

4 "Ki te mea he repera tētahi o ngā uri o Ārona, ki te mea rānei he rere tōna; kei kainga e ia ngā mea tapu; kia kore rā anō ōna poke. Ki te pā hoki tētahi ki te mea i poke i te tūpāpaku, ki te tangata rānei kua paheke atu tōna purapura moenga; 5 ki te pā rānei tētahi ki te mea ngōki, e poke ai ia, ki te tangata rānei e poke ai ia, ahakoa he aha rānei, he aha rānei, tōna poke. 6 Ka poke ā ahiahi noa te tangata i pā ki taua mea, kaua anō hoki ia e kai i ngā mea tapu, ki te kāhore i horoia e ia tōna kikokiko ki te wai. 7 Ā, ka tō te rā, ka kore ōna poke; ā muri iho, ka kai i ngā mea tapu, nō te mea ko tāna kai tēnā. 8 He mea mate māori, i haea rānei e te kīrehe, kaua tēnā e kainga e ia, kei poke. Ko Ihowā ahau. 9 Inā, kia mau rātou ki tāku i whakarite ai, kei whai hara, ā, ka mate ki te whakanoatia e rātou. Ko Ihowā ahau te whakatapu nei i a rātou.

10 "Kaua tētahi manene e kai i te mea tapu. Kaua te tangata e noho ana ki te tohunga, te kaimahi rānei, e kai i te mea tapu. 11 Otiia, ki te hokona tētahi tangata e te tohunga ki tāna moni, e kai anō ia; me ngā tāngata anō i whānau ki tōna whare, e kai anō rātou i tāna kai. 12 He tamāhine hoki nā te tohunga kua riro i te tangata iwi kē, kaua ia e kai i te whakahere poipoi o ngā mea tapu. 13 Otiia, ki te mea he pouaru te tamāhine a te tohunga, i whakarērea atu rānei, ā, kāhore āna tamariki, kua hoki mai anō ki te whare o tōna pāpā, kua pērā me ia i tōna taitamāhinetanga, e kai anō ia i te kai a tōna pāpā; kaua ia te tangata kē e kai.

14 "Ā, ki te kai pōhēhē te tangata i te mea tapu, me tāpiri e ia te whakarima o taua mea, ā, ka hōmai tahi me te mea tapu ki te tohunga. 15 Kei whakanoatia e rātou ngā mea tapu a ngā tama a Īharaira, e whakaherea ana mā Ihowā; 16 kei meinga rātou kia whakawaha i te kino o te hē, ina kai i ā rātou mea tapu. Ko Ihowā hoki ahau te whakatapu nei i a rātou."

He Whakahere Pai

17 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea, 18 "Kōrero ki a Ārona, ki āna tama, ki ngā tama katoa anō a Īharaira, mea atu ki a rātou: Ko te tangata o te whare o Īharaira, o ngā manene rānei i roto i a Īharaira, e mea ana ki te tāpae i tāna whakahere, he kī taurangi, he mea tuku noa rānei nāna, tā rātou e tāpae ai ki a Ihowā hei tahunga tinana; 19 kia manakohia ai koutou, ko tā koutou e tāpae ai hei te toa kohakore, nō roto i ngā kau, i ngā hipi rānei, i ngā koati rānei. 20 Kaua rawa ia e whakaherea tētahi mea he koha tōna; nō te mea e kore e manakohia hei mea mā koutou.

21 "Ki te whakaherea anō hoki e tētahi he patunga mō te pai ki a Ihowā, hei whakamana mō te kī taurangi, hei whakahere tuku noa ake rānei, he kau, he hipi rānei, hei te mea kohakore, kia manakohia ai; kei whai koha. 22 He matapō, he whati, he kopa, kua whai puku, he pāpaka, he mea hakihaki rānei – kaua ēnā e whakaherea mā Ihowā, kaua anō e hōmai hei whakahere ahi ki runga ki te āta mā Ihowā. 23 He pūru he reme rānei, e hira ake ana, kua kore rānei tētahi wāhi ōna, e whakaherea anō tēnā e koe hei whakahere noa ake; otiia e kore e manakohia mō te kī taurangi. 24 Kaua e whakaherea mā Ihowā te mea i romia, te mea rānei i kurua, i unuhia rānei, i pokaia rānei; kaua anō hoki e pēnā i tō koutou whenua. 25 Kaua anō hoki tētahi o ēnei e tāpaea hei kai mā tō koutou Atua, ina hōmai e te tangata iwi kē; he whakahē hoki kei roto, he koha kei roto. E kore ēnei e manakohia hei mea mā koutou."

26 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea, 27 "Ka whānau he kau, he hipi, he koati rānei, kia whitu ngā rā e waiho ai ki tōna whaea; ā, i te waru o ngā rā, i ō muri iho hoki, ka manakohia hei whakahere ahi mā Ihowā. 28 Otiia, ahakoa he kau, he hipi rānei, kaua rāua ko tāna kūao e patua i te rangi kotahi.

29 "Ka patua anō e koutou he patunga whakawhetai ki a Ihowā, hei te patunga e manakohia ai koutou. 30 Me kai i taua rangi anō; kaua e waiho tētahi wāhi ki te ata. Ko Ihowā ahau.

31 "Nā, kia mau ki āku whakahau, mahia hoki. Ko Ihowā ahau. 32 Kaua anō e whakanoatia tōku ingoa tapu; engari me whakatapu ahau i roto i ngā tama a Īharaira. Ko Ihowā ahau te whakatapu nei i a koutou, 33 i whakaputa mai nei hoki i a koutou i te whenua o Īhipa, kia waiho ai hei Atua mō koutou. Ko Ihowā ahau."
