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

Whakahaua nga tama a Iharaira kia motuhia ketia atu nga repera katoa i roto i te puni, nga tangata katoa e rere ana te pirau, me nga tangata katoa e poke ana i te tupapaku.

Ko te tane, ko te wahine, me ngare atu, me ngare e koutou ki waho o te puni: kei poke i a ratou o ratou puni e nohoia nei e ahau.

Na peratia ana e nga tama a Iharaira, a motuhia ketia ana ratou i roto i te puni: rite tonu ki ta Ihowa i korero ai ki a Mohi ta nga tama a Iharaira i mea ai.

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

Mea atu ki nga tama a Iharaira, Ki te mahia e te tangata, e te wahine ranei, tetahi mea e hara ai te tangata, hei mahi i te kino ki a Ihowa, a ka he taua wairua;

Na me whaki to ratou hara i hara ai: me whakahoki e ia te mea i he ai ia, te tino mea, me tapiri ano ki tona whakarima, ka hoatu ai ki te tangata i hara nei ia ki a ia.

Otiia ki te kahore he whanaunga o taua tangata hei hoatutanga mo te utu, me hoatu te utu mo te hara ki a Ihowa, ara ki te tohunga; hei tapiri mo te hipi whakamarie hei whakamarie mona.

Na, ko nga whakahere hapahapai katoa o nga mea tapu katoa a nga tama a Iharaira, e kawea ana ki te tohunga, mana era.

10 Mana ake nga mea tapu a te tangata: ko ta te tangata e hoatu ai ki te tohunga, mana tena.

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

12 Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, Ki te peka ke te wahine a tetahi tangata, a ka hara ki a ia,

13 A ka takoto, ka puremu tetahi ki a ia, a ka ngaro i nga kanohi o tana tahu, ka huna, a ka poke te wahine, kahore ano hoki he kaiwhakaatu mo tona he, kahore ano ia i mau rawa;

14 A ka tau ki a ia te wairua hae, a ka hae ia ki tana wahine, a ka poke te wahine: ki te tau ranei ki a ia te wairua hae, a ka hae ia ki tana wahine kihai nei i poke;

15 Katahi ka kawe taua tangata i tana wahine ki te tohunga, me kawe ano e ia ta te wahine whakahere hei mea mona, te whakatekau epa paraoa parei; kaua he hinu e ringihia ki runga, kaua ano he parakihe e hoatu ki runga; he whakahere totokore hoki mo te hae, he whakahere whakamahara, hei whakamahara ki te kino.

16 Na ka nekehia mai ia e te tohunga, a ka whakaturia ki te aroaro o Ihowa:

17 A ka mau te tohunga ki te wai tapu i te oko oneone; ka mau ano te tohunga ki tetahi wahi o te puehu o te papa o te tapenakara, ka maka ai ki te wai:

18 Na ka whakaturia e te tohunga te wahine ki te aroaro o Ihowa, a ka tuku i nga makawe o te wahine kia mahora noa, ka hoatu ai i te whakahere whakamahara ki ona ringa, ara i te whakahere totokore mo te hae: hei te ringa ia o te tohunga te wai kawa e tau ai te kanga:

19 Na ka whakaoati te tohunga i a ia, a ka mea ki te wahine, Ki te mea kahore ano tetahi tangata i takoto ki a koe, ki te kahore ano hoki koe i peka atu, i poke, i te mea i raro koe i tau tane, kia ora koe i tenei wai kawa e tau ai te kanga:

20 Ki te mea ia kua peka ke koe, i te mea i raro koe i tau tane, a kua poke koe, a kua takoto ki a koe tetahi tangata ehara nei i te tane nau:

21 Katahi ka whakaoati te tohunga i te wahine ki te oati kanga, a ka mea te tohunga ki te wahine, Ma Ihowa koe e mea hei kanga, hei oati i roto i tou iwi, ina mea a Ihowa kia pirau tou huha, kia pupuhi hoki tou puku;

22 A ka tae ki roto ki ou whekau tenei wai e tau ai te kanga, e pupuhi ai tou puku, e pirau ai tou huha: me ki te wahine, Amine, Amine.

23 A me tuhituhi enei kanga e te tohunga ki te pukapuka, ka horoi atu ano e ia ki roto ki te wai kawa:

24 Na ka whakainumia e ia te wahine ki te wai kawa e tau ai te kanga, a ka tae te wai e tau ai te kanga ki roto ki a ia, ka kawa.

25 Me tango hoki e te tohunga te whakahere mo te hae i te ringa o te wahine, a ka poipoia te whakahere ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ka whakaherea ki runga ki te aata:

26 Na ka aohia e te tohunga tetahi wahi o te whakahere, kia ki te ringa, ko tona whakamaharatanga hoki, a ka tahuna ki runga ki te aata, a muri iho ka whakainumia te wahine ki te wai.

27 A ka oti ia te whakainu ki te wai, na ki te mea kua poke ia, kua hara ki tana tahu, na ka tae ki roto ki a ia te wai e tau ai te kanga, ka kawa, a ka pupuhi tona puku, ka pirau hoki tona huha: a hei mea kanga tena wahine i roto i tona iwi.

28 A ki te mea kihai i poke te wahine, a e ma ana; na ka ora, a ka whai tamariki.

29 Ko te ture tenei mo nga hae, mehemea te wahine, kei raro nei ia i tana tane, ka peka ke, a ka poke;

30 Ina tau iho ranei te wairua hae ki tetahi, a ka hae ia ki tana wahine; na me whakatu taua wahine e ia ki te aroaro o Ihowa; na ka mahia e te tohunga tenei ture katoa ki a ia.

31 Na ka kore he he mo te tangata, a ka waha e taua wahine tona kino.

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

Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira, mea atu ki a ratou, E momotu te tangata, te wahine ranei i a ia, he ki taurangi na te Natari, mona kia wehea ma Ihowa:

Me wehe ia i a ia kei tata ki te waina, i te wai whakahaurangi ranei, kaua hoki ia e inu i te winika waina, i te winika whakahaurangi, kaua hoki e inu i te wai karepe, a kaua e kai i te karepe hou, maroke ranei.

I nga ra katoa e wehea ai ia kaua ia e kai i tetahi mea no te waina te mea i hanga ai, ahakoa nganga, ahakoa peha.

I nga ra katoa o tanga ki taurangi wehe i a ia, kaua te heu e pa ki tona matenga: kia tutuki ra ano nga ra e wehea ai ia ki a Ihowa, ka tapu ia, a me tuku e ia nga makawe o tona matenga kia tupu, kia roroa.

I nga ra katoa i wehe ai ia i a ia ki a Ihowa kaua ia e whakatata ki te tupapaku.

Kaua ia e whakapoke i a ia mo tona papa, mo tona whaea, mo tona tuakana, teina ranei, mo tona tuahine, ina mate ratou; no te mea kei runga i tona matenga te wehenga a tona Atua.

Ka tapu ia ki a Ihowa i nga ra katoa e wehe ai ia.

A ki te mate tetahi tangata ki tona taha, he mea pa whakarere, a kua poke i a ia tona matenga i wehea nei; na me heu e ia tona matenga i te ra e purea ai ia, me heu e ia i te whitu o nga ra.

10 A i te waru o nga ra me kawe mai e ia he kukupa kia rua, he pi kikupa ranei kia rua, ki te tohunga, ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga:

11 A me whakahere tetahi e te tohunga hei whakahere hara, me tetahi hei tahunga tinana, a ka whakamarie mona, nona hoki i whai hara i te tupapaku, ka whakatapua ano tona matenga i taua ra ano.

12 A me whakatapu e ia ki a Ihowa nga ra o tona wehenga, me kawe mai ano he reme toa, he tau tahi, hei whakahere mo te he: ko nga ra ia o mua ka whakataka, no te mea kua poke tona wehenga.

13 A ko te ture tenei mo te Natari, ina rite nga ra e wehea ai ia: me kawe ia ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga:

14 A me whakahere e ia tana whakahere ki a Ihowa, kia kotahi te reme toa tau tahi, hei te mea kohakore, hei tahunga tinana, me tetahi reme uha tau tahi, hei te mea kohakore, hei whakahere hara, me teahi hipi toa kohakore, hei whakahere mo te pai,

15 Me tetahi kete taro rewenakore, me nga keke paraoa pai i konatunatua ki te hinu, me etahi me angiangi ano hoki, hei nga mea rewenakore i pania ki te hinu, me te whakahere totokore, me nga ringihanga o aua mea.

16 A me kawe aua mea e te tohunga ki te aroaro o Ihowa, a ka whakaherea tana whakahere hara, me tana tahunga tinana:

17 Me whakahere ano e ia te hipi toa, hei patunga mo te pai ki a Ihowa, me te kete taro rewenakore: me whakahere ano e te tohunga tana whakahere totokore, me tana ringihanga.

18 A me heu e te Natari tona matenga, i wehea nei, ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ka tango ai i nga makawe o tona matenga i wehea nei, a ka maka ki te ahi, ki tera i raro i te patunga mo te pai.

19 A me tango e te tohunga te peke o te hipi toa, ina oti te kohua, me tetahi o nga keke rewenakore i te kete, me tetahi o nga keke angiangi, o nga mea rewenakore, a ka hoatu e ia ki nga ringa o te Natari, i muri i te heunga o ona makawe i wehea ne i.

20 Na ka poipoia e te tohunga hei whakahere poipoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa: ka tapu tenei ma te tohunga, me te uma poipoi, me te huha hapahapai: a, muri iho ka inu waina te Natari.

21 Ko te ture tenei mo te Natari, nana te ki wehe, mo tana whakahere hoki ki a Ihowa ina wehea, hei tapiri mo ta tona ringa i whiwhi ai: kia rite ki tana ki i ki ai; kei te ture o tona wehenga te tikanga mo tana e mea ai.

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

23 Korero ki a Arona ratou ko ana tama, mea atu, Kia penei ta koutou manaaki i nga tama a iharaira; mea atu ki a ratou,

24 Ma Ihowa koe e manaaki, mana koe e tiaki:

25 Ma Ihowa e mea kia tiaho tona mata ki a koe, mana ano hoki koe e atawhai:

26 Ma Ihowa tona kanohi e whakaara ki a koe, mana ano e tuku te rangimarie ki a koe.

27 A ka karangatia e ratou toku ingoa ki runga ki nga tama a Iharaira; a maku ratou e manaaki.

The Purity of the Camp

The Lord said to Moses, “Command the Israelites to send away from the camp anyone who has a defiling skin disease[a](A) or a discharge(B) of any kind, or who is ceremonially unclean(C) because of a dead body.(D) Send away male and female alike; send them outside the camp so they will not defile their camp, where I dwell among them.(E) The Israelites did so; they sent them outside the camp. They did just as the Lord had instructed Moses.

Restitution for Wrongs

The Lord said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites: ‘Any man or woman who wrongs another in any way[b] and so is unfaithful(F) to the Lord is guilty(G) and must confess(H) the sin they have committed. They must make full restitution(I) for the wrong they have done, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the person they have wronged. But if that person has no close relative to whom restitution can be made for the wrong, the restitution belongs to the Lord and must be given to the priest, along with the ram(J) with which atonement is made for the wrongdoer.(K) All the sacred contributions the Israelites bring to a priest will belong to him.(L) 10 Sacred things belong to their owners, but what they give to the priest will belong to the priest.(M)’”

The Test for an Unfaithful Wife

11 Then the Lord said to Moses, 12 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If a man’s wife goes astray(N) and is unfaithful to him 13 so that another man has sexual relations with her,(O) and this is hidden from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act), 14 and if feelings of jealousy(P) come over her husband and he suspects his wife and she is impure—or if he is jealous and suspects her even though she is not impure— 15 then he is to take his wife to the priest. He must also take an offering of a tenth of an ephah[c](Q) of barley flour(R) on her behalf. He must not pour olive oil on it or put incense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy,(S) a reminder-offering(T) to draw attention to wrongdoing.

16 “‘The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. 18 After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair(U) and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy,(V) while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse.(W) 19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, “If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray(X) and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse(Y) not harm you. 20 But if you have gone astray(Z) while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”— 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse(AA)—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse[d] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water(AB) that brings a curse(AC) enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”

“‘Then the woman is to say, “Amen. So be it.(AD)

23 “‘The priest is to write these curses on a scroll(AE) and then wash them off into the bitter water. 24 He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and this water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering will enter her. 25 The priest is to take from her hands the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord(AF) and bring it to the altar. 26 The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial[e] offering(AG) and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water. 27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse.(AH) 28 If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.

29 “‘This, then, is the law of jealousy when a woman goes astray(AI) and makes herself impure while married to her husband, 30 or when feelings of jealousy(AJ) come over a man because he suspects his wife. The priest is to have her stand before the Lord and is to apply this entire law to her. 31 The husband will be innocent of any wrongdoing, but the woman will bear the consequences(AK) of her sin.’”

The Nazirite

The Lord said to Moses, “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If a man or woman wants to make a special vow(AL), a vow of dedication(AM) to the Lord as a Nazirite,(AN) they must abstain from wine(AO) and other fermented drink and must not drink vinegar(AP) made from wine or other fermented drink. They must not drink grape juice or eat grapes(AQ) or raisins. As long as they remain under their Nazirite vow, they must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, not even the seeds or skins.

“‘During the entire period of their Nazirite vow, no razor(AR) may be used on their head.(AS) They must be holy until the period of their dedication to the Lord is over; they must let their hair grow long.

“‘Throughout the period of their dedication to the Lord, the Nazirite must not go near a dead body.(AT) Even if their own father or mother or brother or sister dies, they must not make themselves ceremonially unclean(AU) on account of them, because the symbol of their dedication to God is on their head. Throughout the period of their dedication, they are consecrated to the Lord.

“‘If someone dies suddenly in the Nazirite’s presence, thus defiling the hair that symbolizes their dedication,(AV) they must shave their head on the seventh day—the day of their cleansing.(AW) 10 Then on the eighth day(AX) they must bring two doves or two young pigeons(AY) to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting.(AZ) 11 The priest is to offer one as a sin offering[f](BA) and the other as a burnt offering(BB) to make atonement(BC) for the Nazirite because they sinned by being in the presence of the dead body. That same day they are to consecrate their head again. 12 They must rededicate themselves to the Lord for the same period of dedication and must bring a year-old male lamb(BD) as a guilt offering.(BE) The previous days do not count, because they became defiled during their period of dedication.

13 “‘Now this is the law of the Nazirite when the period of their dedication is over.(BF) They are to be brought to the entrance to the tent of meeting.(BG) 14 There they are to present their offerings to the Lord: a year-old male lamb without defect(BH) for a burnt offering, a year-old ewe lamb without defect for a sin offering,(BI) a ram(BJ) without defect for a fellowship offering,(BK) 15 together with their grain offerings(BL) and drink offerings,(BM) and a basket of bread made with the finest flour and without yeast—thick loaves with olive oil mixed in, and thin loaves brushed with olive oil.(BN)

16 “‘The priest is to present all these(BO) before the Lord(BP) and make the sin offering and the burnt offering.(BQ) 17 He is to present the basket of unleavened bread and is to sacrifice the ram as a fellowship offering(BR) to the Lord, together with its grain offering(BS) and drink offering.(BT)

18 “‘Then at the entrance to the tent of meeting, the Nazirite must shave off the hair that symbolizes their dedication.(BU) They are to take the hair and put it in the fire that is under the sacrifice of the fellowship offering.

19 “‘After the Nazirite has shaved off the hair that symbolizes their dedication, the priest is to place in their hands a boiled shoulder of the ram, and one thick loaf and one thin loaf from the basket, both made without yeast.(BV) 20 The priest shall then wave these before the Lord as a wave offering;(BW) they are holy(BX) and belong to the priest, together with the breast that was waved and the thigh that was presented.(BY) After that, the Nazirite may drink wine.(BZ)

21 “‘This is the law of the Nazirite(CA) who vows offerings to the Lord in accordance with their dedication, in addition to whatever else they can afford. They must fulfill the vows(CB) they have made, according to the law of the Nazirite.’”

The Priestly Blessing

22 The Lord said to Moses, 23 “Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless(CC) the Israelites. Say to them:

24 “‘“The Lord bless you(CD)
    and keep you;(CE)
25 the Lord make his face shine on you(CF)
    and be gracious to you;(CG)
26 the Lord turn his face(CH) toward you
    and give you peace.(CI)”’

27 “So they will put my name(CJ) on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”

Na ka timata ano ia te whakaako i te taha o te moana: he nui hoki te tangata i huihui ki a ia, no ka eke ia ki runga ki te kaipuke, ka noho ki te moana; i uta te mano katoa i te taha o te moana.

A he maha ana mea i whakaako ai ki a ratou, he mea whakarite, i mea hoki ki a ratou i a ia e ako ana,

Whakarongo; Na i haere atu te kairui ki te rui:

A, i a ia e rui ana, ka ngahoro etahi ki te taha o te ara, a, ko te rerenga mai o nga manu o te rangi, na kainga ake.

Ko etahi i ngahoro ki te wahi kamaka, ki te wahi kihai i nui te oneone; a pihi tonu ake, kahore hoki i hohonu te oneone.

A, no te whitinga o te ra, ngaua iho; a, no te mea kahore he putake, memenge noa iho.

Ko etahi i ngahoro ki roto ki nga tataramoa, a, no te tupunga ake o nga tataramoa, kowaowaotia ana nga purapura, a kore ake he hua.

Ko etahi i ngahoro ki te oneone pai, a whai hua ana; ka tupu, ka nui, ka ea ake, no etahi e toru tekau, no etahi e ono tekau, no etahi kotahi rau.

I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Ki te whai taringa tetahi hei whakarongo, kia rongo ia.

10 Na ka mahue ko ia anake, ka ui ki a ia ona hoa me te tekau ma rua ki taua kupu whakarite.

11 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kua hoatu ki a koutou te matauranga ki te mea ngaro o te rangatiratanga o te Atua: ki te hunga ia o waho e ra rototia ana nga mea katoa i te kupu whakarite:

12 Mo te titiro rawa atu ratou, na e kore e kite; rongo rawa, na e kore e matau; kei tahuri, a ka murua o ratou hara.

13 I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Kahore ranei koutou e matau ki tenei kupu whakarite? a me pehea ka matau ai koutou ki nga kupu whakarite katoa?

14 Ko te kairui e rui ana i te kupu.

15 Ko enei te hunga i te taha o te ara, i te wahi e ruia ana te kupu; i to ratou rongonga, na haere tonu mai a Hatana, kapohia ake te kupu i ruia ki o ratou ngakau.

16 Ko enei te hunga i te taha o te purapura i nga wahi kamaka; ko te hunga, i to ratou rongonga ai i te kupu, hohoro tonu te tango, hari tonu;

17 Na kahore o ratou pakiaka, ka whakapakari kau noa: heoi, i te panga o te whakapawera, o te whakatoi ranei mo te kupu, he tonu iho.

18 Na ko enei te hunga i nga purapura i roto i nga tataramoa; ko nga mea i rongo ki te kupu,

19 A, i te putanga o te whakaaro ki tenei ao, o te hangarau o nga taonga, o nga hiahia ki era atu mea, kowaowaotia iho te kupu, a kore ake he hua.

20 Na ko enei te hunga i nga purapura i te oneone pai: ko te hunga e rongo ana ki te kupu, a tango ana, a whai hua ana, o etahi e toru tekau, o etahi e ono tekau, o etahi kotahi rau.

The Parable of the Sower(A)(B)

Again Jesus began to teach by the lake.(C) The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water’s edge. He taught them many things by parables,(D) and in his teaching said: “Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.(E) As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain. Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times.”(F)

Then Jesus said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”(G)

10 When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables. 11 He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God(H) has been given to you. But to those on the outside(I) everything is said in parables 12 so that,

“‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving,
    and ever hearing but never understanding;
otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!’[a](J)

13 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable? 14 The farmer sows the word.(K) 15 Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan(L) comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. 16 Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. 17 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 18 Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; 19 but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth(M) and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. 20 Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.”
