14  Na ka hamama te reo o te whakaminenga katoa; a ka tangi te iwi i taua po.

A amuamu ana nga tama katoa a Iharaira ki a Mohi raua ko Arona: a ka mea te whakaminenga katoa ki a raua, Aue, me i mate tatou ki te whenua o Ihipa! aue, me i mate ranei tatou ki tenei koraha!

He aha tatou i kawea mai ai e Ihowa ki tenei whenua, kia hinga i te hoari: ka waiho a tatou wahine, a tatou tamariki hei taonga parau: ehara ianei te hoki ki Ihipa i te mea pai mo tatou?

A ka mea ratou tetahi ki tetahi, Me whakatu he upoko mo tatou, ka hoki ki Ihipa.

Na ka tapapa a Mohi raua ko Arona ki te aroaro o te huihui katoa o te whakaminenga o nga tama a Iharaira.

A ka haehae a Hohua, tama a Nunu, raua ko Karepe, tama a Iepune, i o raua kakahu; ko raua hoki etahi o nga kaitutei o te whenua:

A ka korero raua ki te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, ka mea, He whenua pai rawa te whenua i haerea nei, i tuteia nei e matou.

Ki te aro mai a Ihowa ki a tatou, ka kawea tatou e ia ki taua whenua, ka homai ano e ia ki a tatou; he whenua e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi.

Kaua raia koutou e tutu ki a Ihowa, kaua hoki e wehi i nga tangata o taua whenua, he taro hoki ratou ma tatou: kua mahue ratou i to ratou whakamarumaru, a kei a tatou a Ihowa: kaua e wehi i a ratou.

10 Heoi ko ta te whakaminenga katoa ki, me aki raua ki te kohatu. Na ko te putanga mai o te kororia o Ihowa i runga i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga ki te aroaro o nga tama katoa a Iharaira.

11 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Kia pehea ake te roa o te whakahawea a tenei iwi ki ahau? ahea ranei ratou whakapono ai ki ahau, he maha nei hoki aku tohu i whakakitea i roto i a ratou?

12 Ka patua ratou e ahau ki te mate uruta, ka peia atu, a ka meinga koe hei iwi nui atu, kaha atu, i a ratou.

13 Ano ra ko Mohi ki a Ihowa, Akuanei ka rongo nga Ihipiana; nau hoki tenei iwi i whakaputa mai i runga i tou kaha i roto i a ratou;

14 Na ka korero ratou ki nga tangata o tenei whenua: kua rongo hoki ratou kei roto koe, e Ihowa, i tenei iwi: e kitea ana ano koe e Ihowa, titiro atu, titiro mai, e tu ana hoki tou kapua i runga i a ratou, e haere ana hoki koe i mua i a ratou i rot o i te pou kapua i te awatea, i roto hoki i te pou ahi i te po.

15 Na ki te whakamatea e koe tenei iwi, ano he tangata kotahi, katahi nga iwi i rongo nei ki tou rongo ka whai kupu, ka mea,

16 No te mea kihai i kaha a Ihowa ki te kawe i tenei iwi ki te whenua i oati ai ia ki a ratou, koia i whakamatea ai ratou e ia ki te koraha.

17 Na kia nui ra te kaha o toku Ariki, kia rite ki tau i korero ai, i mea ai,

18 He puhoi a Ihowa ki te riri, he nui tona atawhai, e muru ana i te kino, i te tutu, e kore rawa ano e tuku noa i te hunga he; e mea ana i te kino o nga matua kia tau ki nga tamariki, a te toru, te wha ra ano, o nga whakatupuranga.

19 Tena, murua te kino o tenei iwi, kia rite ki te nui o tou atawhai, ki tau muru hoki i nga hara o tenei iwi, o Ihipa mai ano, a taea noatia a konei.

20 Na ka mea a Ihowa, Kua murua e ahau, kua peratia me tau i ki mai na:

21 Otiia, e ora nei ahau, a ka kapi te whenua katoa i te kororia o Ihowa;

22 Na, i te mea ko enei tangata katoa, i kite nei i toku kororia, i aku merekara hoki i meinga ki Ihipa, ki te koraha, a ka tekau nei a ratou whakamatautauranga i ahau, kahore ano i whakarongo ki toku reo;

23 Ina, e kore rawa ratou e kite i te whenua i oati ai ahau ki o ratou matua, e kore ano tetahi o te hunga i whakahawea nei ki ahau e kite i reira:

24 Engari taku pononga a Karepe, he wairua ke hoki tona, a kua tino whai ia i ahau; e kawea ia e ahau ki te whenua i haere atu na ia; a ka riro a reira i ona uri.

25 Na kei te raorao nga Amareki me nga Kanaani e noho ana. Tahuri atu koutou apopo, haere atu ki te koraha, na te huarahi ki te Moana Whero.

26 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, i mea,

27 Kia pehea ake te roa o taku whakamanawanui ki tenei whakaminenga kino, e amuamu nei ki ahau? Kua rongona e ahau nga amuamu a nga tama a Iharaira, e amuamu nei ratou ki ahau.

28 Mea atu ki a ratou, E ora ana ahau, e ai ta Ihowa, ko ta koutou i korero mai ai ki oku taringa, he pono, ko taku tena e mea ai ki a koutou,

29 Ka hinga o koutou tinana ki tenei koraha; a ko koutou katoa i taua, puta noa atu i to koutou tokomaha, nga mea e rua tekau, he maha ake hoki, o ratou tau, te hunga hoki i amuamu nei ki ahau,

30 E kore koutou e tae ki te whenua i oati ai ahau ka whakanohoia koutou ki reira, heoi ano ko Karepe tama o Iepune, raua ko Hohua tama a Nunu.

31 Otiia ko a koutou potiki, i mea na koutou ka waiho hei taonga parau, ka kawea e ahau ki reira, a ka mohio ratou ki te whenua i whakahaweatia nei e koutou.

32 Ko koutou ia, ka hinga o koutou tinana ki tenei koraha.

33 A ka kopikopiko noa a koutou tamariki i te koraha, e wha tekau nga tau, ma ratou hoki e waha a koutou puremutanga, kia poto ra ano o koutou tinana ki te koraha.

34 Kia rite ra ano ki te maha o nga ra, ki nga ra e wha tekau, i tuteia ai e koutou te whenua, he tau he ra, he tau he ra; e wha tekau nga tau e waha ai e koutou o koutou kino, a ka mohio koutou ki te takanga o taku kupu.

35 Naku, na Ihowa te kupu, ina, ka meatia tenei e ahau ki tenei whakaminenga kino katoa, kua huihui nei ki te whakahe ki ahau: ka poto ratou ki tenei koraha, ka mate ano hoki ki konei.

36 Na, ko nga tangata i unga e Mohi hei tutei mo te whenua, i hoki mai nei, i mea nei kia amuamutia ia e te whakaminenga katoa, i ta ratou kawenga mai i te korero kino mo te whenua,

37 Ko aua tangata, na ratou nei i kawe mai te korero kino mo te whenua, i mate ratou i te whiu ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

38 Ko Hohua ia, tama a Nunu, raua ko Karepe, tama a Iepune, ko raua i ora o nga tangata i haere ki te tutei i te whenua.

39 Na korerotia ana e Mohi enei kupu katoa ki nga tama katoa a Iharaira: a ka pouri rawa te iwi.

40 Na ka maranga wawe ratou i te ata, a ka haere ki te tihi o te maunga, me te ki ano, Tenei matou, a ka haere matou ki runga, ki te wahi i korerotia mai e Ihowa: kua hara hoki matou.

41 Na ka mea a Mohi, He aha koutou i takahi ai i te kupu a Ihowa, i te mea kahore e whai wahi?

42 Kaua e haere, kahore na hoki a Ihowa i a koutou, kei patua koutou ki te aroaro o o koutou hoariri.

43 Kei reira hoki nga Amareki ratou ko nga Kanaani, kei mua i a koutou, a ka hinga koutou i te hoari: mo koutou kua tahuri atu i te whai i a Ihowa, koia a Ihowa te piri ai ki a koutou.

44 Heoi ka pokanoa ratou ki te piki ki te tihi o te maunga: otiia kihai te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, me Mohi hoki, i hiki atu i te puni.

45 Na ka heke iho nga Amareki ratou ko nga Kanaani e noho ana i taua maunga, a patua ana ratou, tukituki rawa, a taea noatia a Horema.

15  I korero ano a Ihowa, ki a Mohi, i mea,

Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, E tae koutou ki te whenua e noho ai koutou, ki taku e hoatu ai ki a koutou,

A ka mea i te whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa, i te tahunga tinana, i te patunga tapu ranei hei whakamana mo te ki taurangi, i te whakahere tuku noa ranei, i a koutou hakari nunui ranei, hei whakakakara reka ki a Ihowa, he mea no nga kau, no nga hipi ra nei:

Na me kawe mai tana whakahere e te kaiwhakahere ki a Ihowa he whakahere totokore, ko te whakatekau o te epa o te paraoa pai, he mea konatunatu ki te whakawha o te hine hinu:

Kia rite mai ano i a koe te whakawha o te hine waina, hei ringihanga, hei kinaki mo te tahunga tinana, mo te patunga tapu ranei, mo te reme kotahi.

Ki te mea he hipi toa, kia rite i a koe hei whakahere totokore nga whakatekau e rua o te epa o te paraoa pai, he mea konatunatu ki te whakatoru o te hine nihu.

Me whakahere ano e koe te whakatoru o te hine waina hei ringihanga, hei kakara reka ki a Ihowa.

A ka mea koe i te puru hei tahunga tinana, hei patunga tapu ranei, hei whakamana i te kupu taurangi, hei whakahere ranei mo te pai ki a Ihowa:

Na me kawe tahi ano e ia me te puru, hei whakahere totokore, kia toru nga whakatekau o te epa o te paraoa pai, he mea konatunatu ki te hawhe o te hine hinu.

10 Me kawe ano e koe te hawhe o te hine waina hei ringihanga, hei whakahere ahi, hei kakara reka ki a Ihowa.

11 Kia penei te meatanga mo te puru kotahi, mo te hipi toa kotahi, mo te reme toa, mo te kuao koati.

12 Kia rite ki te maha o a koutou e tuku ai ta koutou e mea ai ki te tahi, ki tetahi, kia rite tonu ki te maha o ratou.

13 Kia penei te meatanga a nga tangata whenua katoa i enei mea, ina whakahere i te whakahere ahi, hei kakara reka ki a Ihowa.

14 A, ki te noho i a koe tetahi manene, tetahi noa atu ranei, i roto i a koutou i o koutou whakatupuranga, a ka mea kia whakahere i te whakahere ahi, i te kakara reka ki a Ihowa; kia rite tana e mea ai ki ta koutou e mea ai.

15 Mo te whakaminenga kia kotahi te tikanga mo koutou, mo te manene hoki e noho tahi ana me koutou, hei tikanga pumau i o koutou whakatupuranga: kia pera ano me koutou te manene i te aroaro o Ihowa.

16 Kia kotahi ano te ture, kia kotahi ano te ritenga mo koutou, mo te manene hoki e noho ana i a koutou.

17 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

18 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, E tae koutou ki te whenua e kawea nei koutou e ahau ki reira,

19 Na e kai koutou i te taro o te whenua, me whakahere he whakahere hapahapai ki a Ihowa.

20 Me whakahere he keke no ta koutou paraoa pokepoke mataati hei whakahere hapahapai: kia rite ki te whakahere hapahapai o te patunga witi ta koutou hapahapai.

21 Me hoatu tetahi wahi o ta koutou pokepokenga mataati ki a Ihowa, hei whakahere hapahapai, puta noa i o koutou whakatupuranga.

22 A ki te mea kua pohehe koutou, a kihai i rite enei whakahau katoa i korerotia nei e Ihowa ki a Mohi,

23 Ara nga mea katoa i whakahaua ai koutou e Ihowa, i korerotia e Mohi, o te ra ano i whakahau ai a Ihowa a tuku iho ki o koutou whakatupuranga;

24 Ko reira, ki te meatia tetahi mea, he pohehe hoki, e ngaro ana i nga kanohi o te whakaminenga, na me whakahere e te whakaminenga katoa tetahi puru kuao hei tahunga tinana, hei kakara reka ki a Ihowa, me tona whakahere totokore, me tona ringihang a; kia rite ki te tikanga, kia kotahi hoki koati toa hei whakahere hara.

25 A ka whakamarie te tohunga mo te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, a ka murua to ratou he; he pohehe hoki: a me kawe ta ratou whakahere, hei whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa, me ta ratou whakahere hara ki te aroaro o Ihowa, mo to ratou pohehe:

26 A ka murua taua he o te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, o te manene ano e noho ana i a ratou: no te mea i pohehe katoa te iwi.

27 Ki te pohehe ano tetahi wairua, a ka hara, na me kawe mai e ia he koati uha, hei te tau tahi, hei whakahere hara.

28 A me whakamarie te tohunga mo te wairua i hara pohehe, ina hara pohehe ia, ki te aroaro o Ihowa, hei whakamarie mona; a ka murua tana.

29 Kia kotahi ano ta koutou ture mo te tangata i hara pohehe, mo te tangata whenua o nga tama a Iharaira raua ko te manene e noho ana i a ratou.

30 Ko te wairua ia i whakakake, ahakoa tangata whenua, manene ranei, he kohukohu tana i a Ihowa; a ka hatepea atu taua wairua i roto i tona iwi.

31 I whakahawea ia ki te kupu a Ihowa, i whakataka hoki i tana whakahau; ka tino hatepea atu taua wairua; ka mau tona kino ki a ia.

32 A, i nga tama a Iharaira i te koraha, ka kitea tetahi tangata e kohikohi rakau ana i te ra hapati.

33 Na ka kawea ia e nga tangata, i kite ra i a ia e kohikohi ana i nga rakau, ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, a ki te whakaminenga katoa.

34 Na hoatu ana ia e ratou kia tiakina, no te mea kahore ano i whakaaturia me aha ia.

35 A ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, me whakamate rawa tena tangata: ma te whakaminenga katoa ia e aki ki te kohatu ki waho o te puni.

36 Na kawea ana ia e te whakaminenga katoa ki waho o te puni, a akina ana ki te kohatu, a ka mate: pera me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.

37 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

38 Koreroki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou kia hanga etahi taniko mo ratou, mo nga taha o o ratou kakahu, puta noa i o ratou whakatupuranga, kia karapitia hoki te taniko o te pito ki te miro puru:

39 A hei taniko tena mo koutou, hei titiro iho ma koutou, na ka mahara ki nga whakahau katoa a Ihowa, a ka mahi; kei rapu koutou i ta o koutou ngakau, i ta o koutou kanohi, ara i nga mea e whaia atu nei, e puremutia atu nei e koutou:

40 Kia mahara ai koutou ki te mahi i aku whakahau katoa, kia tapu ai hoki ki to koutou Atua.

41 Ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua i kawe mai nei a koutou i te whenua o Ihipa, kia waiho ai ahau hei Atua mo koutou: ko Ihowa ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

The People Rebel

14 That night all the members of the community raised their voices and wept aloud.(A) All the Israelites grumbled(B) against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, “If only we had died in Egypt!(C) Or in this wilderness!(D) Why is the Lord bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword?(E) Our wives and children(F) will be taken as plunder.(G) Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt?(H) And they said to each other, “We should choose a leader and go back to Egypt.(I)

Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown(J) in front of the whole Israelite assembly(K) gathered there. Joshua son of Nun(L) and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes(M) and said to the entire Israelite assembly, “The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good.(N) If the Lord is pleased with us,(O) he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey,(P) and will give it to us.(Q) Only do not rebel(R) against the Lord. And do not be afraid(S) of the people of the land,(T) because we will devour them. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with(U) us.(V) Do not be afraid of them.”(W)

10 But the whole assembly talked about stoning(X) them. Then the glory of the Lord(Y) appeared at the tent of meeting to all the Israelites. 11 The Lord said to Moses, “How long will these people treat me with contempt?(Z) How long will they refuse to believe in me,(AA) in spite of all the signs(AB) I have performed among them? 12 I will strike them down with a plague(AC) and destroy them, but I will make you into a nation(AD) greater and stronger than they.”(AE)

13 Moses said to the Lord, “Then the Egyptians will hear about it! By your power you brought these people up from among them.(AF) 14 And they will tell the inhabitants of this land about it. They have already heard(AG) that you, Lord, are with these people(AH) and that you, Lord, have been seen face to face,(AI) that your cloud stays over them,(AJ) and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.(AK) 15 If you put all these people to death, leaving none alive, the nations who have heard this report about you will say, 16 ‘The Lord was not able to bring these people into the land he promised them on oath,(AL) so he slaughtered them in the wilderness.’(AM)

17 “Now may the Lord’s strength be displayed, just as you have declared: 18 ‘The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion.(AN) Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.’(AO) 19 In accordance with your great love, forgive(AP) the sin of these people,(AQ) just as you have pardoned them from the time they left Egypt until now.”(AR)

20 The Lord replied, “I have forgiven them,(AS) as you asked. 21 Nevertheless, as surely as I live(AT) and as surely as the glory of the Lord(AU) fills the whole earth,(AV) 22 not one of those who saw my glory and the signs(AW) I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness but who disobeyed me and tested me ten times(AX) 23 not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath(AY) to their ancestors. No one who has treated me with contempt(AZ) will ever see it.(BA) 24 But because my servant Caleb(BB) has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly,(BC) I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it.(BD) 25 Since the Amalekites(BE) and the Canaanites(BF) are living in the valleys, turn(BG) back tomorrow and set out toward the desert along the route to the Red Sea.[a](BH)

26 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: 27 “How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the complaints of these grumbling Israelites.(BI) 28 So tell them, ‘As surely as I live,(BJ) declares the Lord, I will do to you(BK) the very thing I heard you say: 29 In this wilderness your bodies will fall(BL)—every one of you twenty years old or more(BM) who was counted in the census(BN) and who has grumbled against me. 30 Not one of you will enter the land(BO) I swore with uplifted hand(BP) to make your home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh(BQ) and Joshua son of Nun.(BR) 31 As for your children that you said would be taken as plunder, I will bring them in to enjoy the land you have rejected.(BS) 32 But as for you, your bodies will fall(BT) in this wilderness. 33 Your children will be shepherds here for forty years,(BU) suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness. 34 For forty years(BV)—one year for each of the forty days you explored the land(BW)—you will suffer for your sins and know what it is like to have me against you.’ 35 I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will surely do these things(BX) to this whole wicked community, which has banded together against me. They will meet their end in this wilderness; here they will die.(BY)

36 So the men Moses had sent(BZ) to explore the land, who returned and made the whole community grumble(CA) against him by spreading a bad report(CB) about it— 37 these men who were responsible for spreading the bad report(CC) about the land were struck down and died of a plague(CD) before the Lord. 38 Of the men who went to explore the land,(CE) only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh survived.(CF)

39 When Moses reported this(CG) to all the Israelites, they mourned(CH) bitterly. 40 Early the next morning they set out for the highest point in the hill country,(CI) saying, “Now we are ready to go up to the land the Lord promised. Surely we have sinned!(CJ)

41 But Moses said, “Why are you disobeying the Lord’s command? This will not succeed!(CK) 42 Do not go up, because the Lord is not with you. You will be defeated by your enemies,(CL) 43 for the Amalekites(CM) and the Canaanites(CN) will face you there. Because you have turned away from the Lord, he will not be with you(CO) and you will fall by the sword.”

44 Nevertheless, in their presumption they went up(CP) toward the highest point in the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the Lord’s covenant moved from the camp.(CQ) 45 Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites(CR) who lived in that hill country(CS) came down and attacked them and beat them down all the way to Hormah.(CT)

Supplementary Offerings

15 The Lord said to Moses, “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘After you enter the land I am giving you(CU) as a home and you present to the Lord food offerings from the herd or the flock,(CV) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord(CW)—whether burnt offerings(CX) or sacrifices, for special vows or freewill offerings(CY) or festival offerings(CZ) then the person who brings an offering shall present to the Lord a grain offering(DA) of a tenth of an ephah[b] of the finest flour(DB) mixed with a quarter of a hin[c] of olive oil. With each lamb(DC) for the burnt offering or the sacrifice, prepare a quarter of a hin of wine(DD) as a drink offering.(DE)

“‘With a ram(DF) prepare a grain offering(DG) of two-tenths of an ephah[d](DH) of the finest flour mixed with a third of a hin[e] of olive oil,(DI) and a third of a hin of wine(DJ) as a drink offering.(DK) Offer it as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(DL)

“‘When you prepare a young bull(DM) as a burnt offering or sacrifice, for a special vow(DN) or a fellowship offering(DO) to the Lord, bring with the bull a grain offering(DP) of three-tenths of an ephah[f](DQ) of the finest flour mixed with half a hin[g] of olive oil, 10 and also bring half a hin of wine(DR) as a drink offering.(DS) This will be a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(DT) 11 Each bull or ram, each lamb or young goat, is to be prepared in this manner. 12 Do this for each one, for as many as you prepare.(DU)

13 “‘Everyone who is native-born(DV) must do these things in this way when they present a food offering as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(DW) 14 For the generations to come,(DX) whenever a foreigner(DY) or anyone else living among you presents a food(DZ) offering(EA) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord, they must do exactly as you do. 15 The community is to have the same rules for you and for the foreigner residing among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come.(EB) You and the foreigner shall be the same before the Lord: 16 The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing among you.(EC)’”

17 The Lord said to Moses, 18 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land to which I am taking you(ED) 19 and you eat the food of the land,(EE) present a portion as an offering to the Lord.(EF) 20 Present a loaf from the first of your ground meal(EG) and present it as an offering from the threshing floor.(EH) 21 Throughout the generations to come(EI) you are to give this offering to the Lord from the first of your ground meal.(EJ)

Offerings for Unintentional Sins

22 “‘Now if you as a community unintentionally fail to keep any of these commands the Lord gave Moses(EK) 23 any of the Lord’s commands to you through him, from the day the Lord gave them and continuing through the generations to come(EL) 24 and if this is done unintentionally(EM) without the community being aware of it,(EN) then the whole community is to offer a young bull for a burnt offering(EO) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord,(EP) along with its prescribed grain offering(EQ) and drink offering,(ER) and a male goat for a sin offering.[h](ES) 25 The priest is to make atonement for the whole Israelite community, and they will be forgiven,(ET) for it was not intentional(EU) and they have presented to the Lord for their wrong a food offering(EV) and a sin offering.(EW) 26 The whole Israelite community and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, because all the people were involved in the unintentional wrong.(EX)

27 “‘But if just one person sins unintentionally,(EY) that person must bring a year-old female goat for a sin offering.(EZ) 28 The priest is to make atonement(FA) before the Lord for the one who erred by sinning unintentionally, and when atonement has been made, that person will be forgiven.(FB) 29 One and the same law applies to everyone who sins unintentionally, whether a native-born Israelite or a foreigner residing among you.(FC)

30 “‘But anyone who sins defiantly,(FD) whether native-born or foreigner,(FE) blasphemes the Lord(FF) and must be cut off from the people of Israel.(FG) 31 Because they have despised(FH) the Lord’s word and broken his commands,(FI) they must surely be cut off; their guilt remains on them.(FJ)’”

The Sabbath-Breaker Put to Death

32 While the Israelites were in the wilderness,(FK) a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day.(FL) 33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly, 34 and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him.(FM) 35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must die.(FN) The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp.(FO) 36 So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him(FP) to death,(FQ) as the Lord commanded Moses.(FR)

Tassels on Garments

37 The Lord said to Moses, 38 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘Throughout the generations to come(FS) you are to make tassels on the corners of your garments,(FT) with a blue cord on each tassel. 39 You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember(FU) all the commands of the Lord, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves(FV) by chasing after the lusts of your own hearts(FW) and eyes. 40 Then you will remember to obey all my commands(FX) and will be consecrated to your God.(FY) 41 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God.(FZ) I am the Lord your God.(GA)’”

90  He inoi na Mohi, na te tangata a te Atua. E te Ariki, ko koe to matou nohoanga i nga whakatupuranga katoa.

Kahore ano i whanau noa nga maunga, kahore i hanga e koe te whenua me te ao, ko koe te Atua no tua whakarere a ake tonu atu.

E whakahokia ana e koe te tangata kia mongamonga noa, a e mea ana, E hoki, e nga tama a te tangata.

Ki tau titiro hoki, he rite nga tau kotahi mano ki te ra onanahi, kua pahure atu nei, ki te mataaratanga hoki i te po.

Me te mea na te waipuke tau kahakinga i a ratou; he moe ratou: i te ata ano he tarutaru e tupu ana.

I te ata e tupu ana, e pihi ana: i te ahiahi kua kotia, kua maroke.

Kua hemo nei hoki matou i tou riri: ka ohorere hoki i tou aritatanga.

Kua maka e koe o matou kino ki tou aroaro, o matou mea huna ki te marama o tou mata.

Ka pau o matou ra katoa, me te riri ano koe: hemo ake o matou tau ano he korero e korerotia ana.

10 Ko nga ra o o matou tau e whitu tekau tau; a ki te whai kaha, ka waru tekau tau; heoi he mahi mauiui, he pouri to ratou kaha; ka hohoro hoki te hatepea atu, a ka rere atu matou.

11 Ko wai te matau ana ki te kaha o tou riri? Rite pu ki te wehi ki a koe tou riri.

12 Akona matou ki te tatau i o matou ra, kia anga ai te ngakau ki te whakaaro.

13 Hoki mai, e Ihowa, kia pehea ake te roa? A kia puta ke he whakaaro mou ki au pononga.

14 Kia na matou i te ata i tau mahi tohu: kia hari ai matou, kia koa ai, i o matou ra katoa.

15 Whakaharitia matou, kia rite ki nga ra i whakawhiua ai matou e koe, ki nga tau i kite ai matou i te kino.

16 Kia puta mai tau mahi ki au pononga, me tou kororia ki a ratou tamariki.

17 A hei runga i a matou te ataahua o Ihowa, o to matou Atua: whakapumautia ano ki a matou te mahi a o matou ringa, ae ra, te mahi a o matou ringa, whakapumautia e koe.

BOOK IV

Psalms 90–106

Psalm 90

A prayer of Moses the man of God.

Lord, you have been our dwelling place(A)
    throughout all generations.
Before the mountains were born(B)
    or you brought forth the whole world,
    from everlasting to everlasting(C) you are God.(D)

You turn people back to dust,
    saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.”(E)
A thousand years in your sight
    are like a day that has just gone by,
    or like a watch in the night.(F)
Yet you sweep people away(G) in the sleep of death—
    they are like the new grass of the morning:
In the morning it springs up new,
    but by evening it is dry and withered.(H)

We are consumed by your anger
    and terrified by your indignation.
You have set our iniquities before you,
    our secret sins(I) in the light of your presence.(J)
All our days pass away under your wrath;
    we finish our years with a moan.(K)
10 Our days may come to seventy years,(L)
    or eighty,(M) if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,(N)
    for they quickly pass, and we fly away.(O)
11 If only we knew the power of your anger!
    Your wrath(P) is as great as the fear that is your due.(Q)
12 Teach us to number our days,(R)
    that we may gain a heart of wisdom.(S)

13 Relent, Lord! How long(T) will it be?
    Have compassion on your servants.(U)
14 Satisfy(V) us in the morning with your unfailing love,(W)
    that we may sing for joy(X) and be glad all our days.(Y)
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
    for as many years as we have seen trouble.
16 May your deeds be shown to your servants,
    your splendor to their children.(Z)

17 May the favor[a] of the Lord our God rest on us;
    establish the work of our hands for us—
    yes, establish the work of our hands.(AA)
