Números 15

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you have come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you, 3 and will make an offering by fire to Yahweh—a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a free will offering, or in your set feasts, to make a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, of the herd, or of the flock— 4 then he who offers his offering shall offer to Yahweh a meal offering of one tenth of an ephah*15:4 1 ephah is about 22 liters or about 2/3 of a bushel of fine flour mixed with one fourth of a hin*15:4 A hin is about 6.5 liters or 1.7 gallons. of oil. 5 You shall prepare wine for the drink offering, one fourth of a hin, with the burnt offering or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.

6 "‘For a ram, you shall prepare for a meal offering two tenths of an ephah*15:6 1 ephah is about 22 liters or about 2/3 of a bushel of fine flour mixed with the third part of a hin of oil; 7 and for the drink offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh. 8 When you prepare a bull for a burnt offering or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings to Yahweh, 9 then he shall offer with the bull a meal offering of three tenths of an ephah*15:9 1 ephah is about 22 liters or about 2/3 of a bushel of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil; 10 and you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh. 11 Thus it shall be done for each bull, for each ram, for each of the male lambs, or of the young goats. 12 According to the number that you shall prepare, so you shall do to everyone according to their number.

13 "‘All who are native-born shall do these things in this way, in offering an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh. 14 If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, as you do, so he shall do. 15 For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner, a statute forever throughout your generations. As you are, so the foreigner shall be before Yahweh. 16 One law and one ordinance shall be for you and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you.’"

17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 18 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you come into the land where I bring you, 19 then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a wave offering to Yahweh. 20 Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a wave offering. As the wave offering of the threshing floor, so you shall heave it. 21 Of the first of your dough, you shall give to Yahweh a wave offering throughout your generations.

22 "‘When you err, and don’t observe all these commandments which Yahweh has spoken to Moses— 23 even all that Yahweh has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Yahweh gave commandment and onward throughout your generations— 24 then it shall be, if it was done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, with its meal offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering. 25 The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire to Yahweh, and their sin offering before Yahweh, for their error. 26 All the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, as well as the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; for with regard to all the people, it was done unwittingly.

27 "‘If a person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering. 28 The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errs when he sins unwittingly before Yahweh. He shall make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven. 29 You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them.

30 "‘But the soul who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, blasphemes Yahweh. That soul shall be cut off from among his people. 31 Because he has despised Yahweh’s word, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall be utterly cut off. His iniquity shall be on him.’"

32 While the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. 33 Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. 34 They put him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.

35 Yahweh said to Moses, "The man shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp." 36 All the congregation brought him outside of the camp, and stoned him to death with stones, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

37 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 38 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them that they should make themselves fringes*15:38 or, tassels (Hebrew צִיצִ֛ת) on the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put on the fringe*15:38 or, tassel of each border a cord of blue. 39 It shall be to you for a fringe,*15:39 or, tassel that you may see it, and remember all Yahweh’s commandments, and do them; and that you don’t follow your own heart and your own eyes, after which you used to play the prostitute; 40 so that you may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God. 41 I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Yahweh your God."

Te Tikanga mō ngā Whakahere

1 I kōrero anō a Ihowā, ki a Mohi, i mea, 2 "Kōrero ki ngā tama a Īharaira, mea atu ki a rātou: E tae koutou ki te whenua e noho ai koutou, ki tāku e hoatu ai ki a koutou, 3 ā, ka mea i te whakahere ahi ki a Ihowā – i te tahunga tinana, i te patunga tapu rānei hei whakamana mō te kī taurangi, i te whakahere tuku noa rānei, i ā koutou hākari nunui rānei – hei whakakakara reka ki a Ihowā, he mea nō ngā kau, nō ngā hipi rānei. 4 Nā, me kawe mai tāna whakahere e te kaiwhakahere ki a Ihowā he whakahere totokore, ko te whakatekau o te epa o te parāoa pai, he mea kōnatunatu ki te whakawhā o te hine hinu. 5 Kia rite mai anō i a koe te whakawhā o te hine wāina, hei ringihanga, hei kīnaki mō te tahunga tinana, mō te patunga tapu rānei, mō te reme kotahi.

6 "Ki te mea he hipi toa, kia rite i a koe hei whakahere totokore ngā whakatekau e rua o te epa o te parāoa pai, he mea kōnatunatu ki te whakatoru o te hine hinu. 7 Me whakahere anō e koe te whakatoru o te hine wāina hei ringihanga, hei kakara reka ki a Ihowā.

8 "Ā, ka mea koe i te pūru hei tahunga tinana, hei patunga tapu rānei, hei whakamana i te kupu taurangi, hei whakahere rānei mō te pai ki a Ihowā; 9 nā, me kawe tahi anō e ia me te pūru, hei whakahere totokore, kia toru ngā whakatekau o te epa o te parāoa pai, he mea kōnatunatu ki te hāwhe o te hine hinu. 10 Me kawe anō e koe te hāwhe o te hine wāina hei ringihanga, hei whakahere ahi, hei kakara reka ki a Ihowā.

11 "Kia pēnei te meatanga mō te pūru kotahi, mō te hipi toa kotahi, mō te reme toa, mō te kūao koati. 12 Kia rite ki te maha o ā koutou e tuku ai tā koutou e mea ai ki tētahi, ki tētahi, kia rite tonu ki te maha o rātou. 13 Kia pēnei te meatanga a ngā tāngata whenua katoa i ēnei mea, ina whakahere i te whakahere ahi, hei kakara reka ki a Ihowā. 14 Ā, ki te noho i a koe tētahi manene, tētahi noa atu rānei, i roto i a koutou i ō koutou whakatupuranga, ā, ka mea kia whakahere i te whakahere ahi, i te kakara reka ki a Ihowā; kia rite tāna e mea ai ki tā koutou e mea ai. 15 Mō te whakaminenga kia kotahi te tikanga mō koutou, mō te manene hoki e noho tahi ana me koutou, hei tikanga pūmau i ō koutou whakatupuranga; kia pērā anō me koutou te manene i te aroaro o Ihowā. 16 Kia kotahi anō te ture, kia kotahi anō te ritenga mō koutou, mō te manene hoki e noho ana i a koutou.

17 "I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea: 18 Kōrero ki ngā tama a Īharaira, mea atu ki a rātou: E tae koutou ki te whenua e kawea nei koutou e ahau ki reira, 19 nā, e kai koutou i te taro o te whenua, me whakahere he whakahere hapahapai ki a Ihowā. 20 Me whakahere he keke nō tā koutou parāoa pokepoke mataati hei whakahere hapahapai; kia rite ki te whakahere hapahapai o te patunga wīti tā koutou hapahapai. 21 Me hoatu tētahi wāhi o tā koutou pokepokenga mataati ki a Ihowā, hei whakahere hapahapai, puta noa i ō koutou whakatupuranga.

22 "Ā, ki te mea kua pōhēhē koutou, ā, kīhai i rite ēnei whakahau katoa i kōrerotia nei e Ihowā ki a Mohi – 23 arā ngā mea katoa i whakahaua ai koutou e Ihowā, i kōrerotia e Mohi, o te rā anō i whakahau ai a Ihowā ā tuku iho ki ō koutou whakatupuranga – 24 ko reira, ki te meatia tētahi mea, he pōhēhē hoki, e ngaro ana i ngā kanohi o te whakaminenga, nā, me whakahere e te whakaminenga katoa tētahi pūru kūao hei tahunga tinana, hei kakara reka ki a Ihowā, me tōna whakahere totokore, me tōna ringihanga; kia rite ki te tikanga, kia kotahi hoki koati toa hei whakahere hara. 25 Ā, ka whakamārie te tohunga mō te whakaminenga katoa o ngā tama a Īharaira, ā, ka murua tō rātou hē; he pōhēhē hoki; ā, me kawe tā rātou whakahere, hei whakahere ahi ki a Ihowā, me tā rātou whakahere hara ki te aroaro o Ihowā, mō tō rātou pōhēhē. 26 Ā, ka murua taua hē o te whakaminenga katoa o ngā tama a Īharaira, o te manene anō e noho ana i a rātou; nō te mea i pōhēhē katoa te iwi.

27 "Ki te pōhēhē anō tētahi wairua, ā, ka hara, nā, me kawe mai e ia he koati uha, hei te tau tahi, hei whakahere hara. 28 Ā, me whakamārie te tohunga mō te wairua i hara pōhēhē, ina hara pōhēhē ia, ki te aroaro o Ihowā, hei whakamārie mōna; ā, ka murua tāna.

29 "Kia kotahi anō tā koutou ture mō te tangata i hara pōhēhē, mō te tangata whenua o ngā tama a Īharaira rāua ko te manene e noho ana i a rātou.

30 "Ko te wairua ia i whakakake, ahakoa tangata whenua, manene rānei, he kohukohu tāna i a Ihowā; ā, ka hātepea atu taua wairua i roto i tōna iwi. 31 I whakahāwea ia ki te kupu a Ihowā, i whakataka hoki i tāna whakahau; ka tino hātepea atu taua wairua; ka mau tōna kino ki a ia."

Te Tangata i Whati i te Hāpati

32 Ā, i ngā tama a Īharaira i te koraha, ka kitea tētahi tangata e kohikohi rākau ana i te rā hāpati. 33 Nā, ka kawea ia e ngā tāngata, i kite rā i a ia e kohikohi ana i ngā rākau, ki a Mohi rāua ko Ārona, ā, ki te whakaminenga katoa. 34 Nā, hoatu ana ia e rātou kia tiakina, nō te mea kāhore anō i whakaaturia me aha ia.

35 Ā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Mohi, "Me whakamate rawa tēnā tangata; mā te whakaminenga katoa ia e āki ki te kōhatu ki waho o te puni." 36 Nā, kawea ana ia e te whakaminenga katoa ki waho o te puni, ā, ākina ana ki te kōhatu, ā, ka mate; pērā me tā Ihowā i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.

Te Tikanga mō ngā Tāniko

37 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea, 38 "Kōrero ki ngā tama a Īharaira, mea atu ki a rātou kia hangā ētahi tāniko mō rātou, mō ngā taha o ō rātou kākahu, puta noa i ō rātou whakatupuranga, kia karapitia hoki te tāniko o te pito ki te miro purū; 39 ā, hei tāniko tēnā mō koutou, hei titiro iho mā koutou, nā, ka mahara ki ngā whakahau katoa a Ihowā, ā, ka mahi; kei rapu koutou i tā ō koutou ngākau, i tā ō koutou kanohi, arā i ngā mea e whāia atu nei, e pūremutia atu nei e koutou. 40 Kia mahara ai koutou ki te mahi i āku whakahau katoa, kia tapu ai hoki ki tō koutou Atua. 41 Ko Ihowā ahau, ko tō koutou Atua i kawe mai nei i a koutou i te whenua o Īhipa, kia waiho ai ahau hei Atua mō koutou: Ko Ihowā ahau, ko tō koutou Atua."
