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.

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(A) as a home and you present to the Lord food offerings from the herd or the flock,(B) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord(C)—whether burnt offerings(D) or sacrifices, for special vows or freewill offerings(E) or festival offerings(F) then the person who brings an offering shall present to the Lord a grain offering(G) of a tenth of an ephah[a] of the finest flour(H) mixed with a quarter of a hin[b] of olive oil. With each lamb(I) for the burnt offering or the sacrifice, prepare a quarter of a hin of wine(J) as a drink offering.(K)

“‘With a ram(L) prepare a grain offering(M) of two-tenths of an ephah[c](N) of the finest flour mixed with a third of a hin[d] of olive oil,(O) and a third of a hin of wine(P) as a drink offering.(Q) Offer it as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(R)

“‘When you prepare a young bull(S) as a burnt offering or sacrifice, for a special vow(T) or a fellowship offering(U) to the Lord, bring with the bull a grain offering(V) of three-tenths of an ephah[e](W) of the finest flour mixed with half a hin[f] of olive oil, 10 and also bring half a hin of wine(X) as a drink offering.(Y) This will be a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(Z) 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.(AA)

13 “‘Everyone who is native-born(AB) must do these things in this way when they present a food offering as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(AC) 14 For the generations to come,(AD) whenever a foreigner(AE) or anyone else living among you presents a food(AF) offering(AG) 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.(AH) 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.(AI)’”

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(AJ) 19 and you eat the food of the land,(AK) present a portion as an offering to the Lord.(AL) 20 Present a loaf from the first of your ground meal(AM) and present it as an offering from the threshing floor.(AN) 21 Throughout the generations to come(AO) you are to give this offering to the Lord from the first of your ground meal.(AP)

Offerings for Unintentional Sins

22 “‘Now if you as a community unintentionally fail to keep any of these commands the Lord gave Moses(AQ) 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(AR) 24 and if this is done unintentionally(AS) without the community being aware of it,(AT) then the whole community is to offer a young bull for a burnt offering(AU) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord,(AV) along with its prescribed grain offering(AW) and drink offering,(AX) and a male goat for a sin offering.[g](AY) 25 The priest is to make atonement for the whole Israelite community, and they will be forgiven,(AZ) for it was not intentional(BA) and they have presented to the Lord for their wrong a food offering(BB) and a sin offering.(BC) 26 The whole Israelite community and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, because all the people were involved in the unintentional wrong.(BD)

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

30 “‘But anyone who sins defiantly,(BJ) whether native-born or foreigner,(BK) blasphemes the Lord(BL) and must be cut off from the people of Israel.(BM) 31 Because they have despised(BN) the Lord’s word and broken his commands,(BO) they must surely be cut off; their guilt remains on them.(BP)’”

The Sabbath-Breaker Put to Death

32 While the Israelites were in the wilderness,(BQ) a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day.(BR) 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.(BS) 35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must die.(BT) The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp.(BU) 36 So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him(BV) to death,(BW) as the Lord commanded Moses.(BX)

Tassels on Garments

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