A, i te ra i oti ai a Mohi te tapenakara te whakaara, i whakawahia ai, i whakatapua ai hoki te tapenakara me ona mea katoa, te aata, me ona mea katoa, a ka oti te whakawahi, te whakatapu:

Na ka whakahere nga ariki o Iharaira, nga upoko o nga whare o o ratou matua; ko ratou nga ariki o nga iwi, i a ratou hoki nga tikanga mo te hunga i taua:

A ka kawea mai e ratou ta ratou whakahere ki te aroaro o Ihowa, e ono nga kaata whai taupoki, kotahi tekau ma rua nga kau; tokorua nga ariki kotahi ano te kaata, kotahi ano hoki te puru a tetahi, a tetahi: a whakatuturia ana e ratou ki te aronga o te tapenakara.

A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

Tangohia ta ratou, hei mea mo te mahi o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga; a me hoatu e koe ki nga Riwaiti, kia rite ki te mahi a tenei, a tenei.

Na tangohia ana e Mohi nga kaata me nga kau, a hoatu ana e ia ki nga Riwaiti.

E rua nga kaata, e wha nga kau i hoatu e ia ki nga tama a Kerehona, he mea whakarite ki ta ratou mahi:

E wha nga kaata, e waru nga kau i hoatu e ia ki nga tama a Merari, he mea whakarite ki ta ratou mahi, i te ringa o Itamara tama a te tohunga, a Arona.

Ki nga tama ia a Kohata, kihai i hoatu e ia: no te mea ko te mahi o te wahi tapu ma ratou ko te kauhoa i runga i o ratou pokohiwi.

10 A i whakahere ano nga ariki hei tainga kawa mo te aata i te ra i whakawahia ai, i whakahere nga ariki i a ratou whakahere ki mua i te aata.

11 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Me hoatu e ratou a ratou whakahere, tena ariki i tona ra, tena ariki i tona ra, hei tainga kawa mo te aata.

89 A, i te haerenga o Mohi ki roto ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga ki te korero ki a ia, na ka rongo ia ki te reo o tetahi e korero ana ki a ia i runga i te taupoki, i tera i runga i te aaka o te whakaaturanga, i waenganui i nga kerupima e rua: a ka korero ki a ia.

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

Korero ki a Arona, mea atu ki a ia, Ka tahuna e koe nga rama, kia marama i nga rama e whitu te wahi i mua o taua turanga rama.

I pera ano a Arona; i meinga e ia kia ka nga rama ki te wahi i mua o te turanga rama; i pera ia me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.

A ko te mahinga tenei o te turanga rama, he mea patu te koura; ko tona take, ko ona puawai, he mea patu; ko tana hanga i te turanga rama rite tonu ki te tauira i whakakitea e Ihowa ki a Mohi.

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

Tangohia nga Riwaiti i roto i nga tama a Iharaira, ka pure i a ratou.

Ko tenei tau e mea ai ki a ratou, hei pure i a ratou: tauhiuhia ki a ratou he wai hei pure, kia heua o ratou tinana katoa, a me horoi e ratou o ratou kakahu, kia ma ai.

Katahi ratou ka mau ki tetahi puru kuao, me tona whakahere totokore, ara te paraoa pai i konatunatua ki te hinu; me tango ano e koe tetahi atu puru kuao hei whakahere hara.

Na ka kawe koe i nga Riwaiti ki mua i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ka tawhiu mai ai i te huihui katoa o nga tama a Iharaira:

10 Na ka kawe koe i nga Riwaiti ki te aroaro o Ihowa: a ka popoki nga ringa o nga tama a Iharaira ki nga Riwaiti:

11 A me whakahere e Arona nga Riwaiti ki te aroaro o Ihowa, hei whakahere poipoi ma nga tama a Iharaira, a ka waiho ratou hei mahi i te mahi a Ihowa.

12 Na ka popoki nga ringa o nga Riwaiti ki runga ki nga matenga o nga puru: a me tuku tetahi e koe hei whakahere hara, tetahi hoki hei tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa, hei whakamarie mo nga Riwaiti.

13 Na ka whakatu koe i nga Riwaiti ki te aroaro o Arona, ki te aroaro ano o ana tama, ka whakahere ai hei whakahere poipoi ki a Ihowa.

14 Na me momotu e koe nga Riwaiti i roto i nga tama a Iharaira, a maku nga Riwaiti.

15 A, muri iho, ka haere nga Riwaiti ki roto, ki te mahi i te mahi o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga: a me pure ratou e koe, me whakahere hoki hei whakahere poipoi.

16 Ka tukua rawatia mai hoki ratou ki ahau i roto i nga tama a Iharaira: hei utu mo nga mea katoa e oroko puta mai ana i te kopu, ara mo nga matamua o nga tama katoa a Iharaira i tangohia ai ratou e ahau maku.

17 Naku hoki nga matamua katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, nga tangata me nga kararehe: no te ra i patua ai e ahau nga matamua katoa o te whenua o Ihipa taku whakatapunga i a ratou maku.

18 Na ka tangohia nei e ahau nga Riwaiti hei utu mo nga matamua katoa o nga tama a Iharaira.

19 He mea hoatu naku nga Riwaiti i roto i nga tama a Iharaira ki a Arona ratou ko ana tama, hei mahi i nga mahi a nga tama a Iharaira, i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, hei whakamarie mo nga tama a Iharaira: kei pa te whiu ki nga tama a Iharaira, ina whakatata nga tama a Iharaira ki te wahi tapu.

20 Na, ko ta Mohi ratou ko Arona, ko te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira i mea ai ki nga Riwaiti, pera tonu me nga mea katoa i whakahau ai a Ihowa ki a Mohi mo nga Riwaiti; i pera tonu nga tama a Iharaira ki a ratou.

21 Na ka horohoroa nga Riwaiti, a ka horoia o ratou kakahu; a whakaherea ana ratou e Arona hei whakahere poipoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa; a ka whakamarie a Arona mo ratou hei pure mo ratou.

22 A ka mutu tera, ka tomo nga Riwaiti ki te mahi i a ratou mahi i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, i te aroaro o Arona, i te aroaro ano hoki o ana tama: pera tonu me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi mo nga Riwaiti ra ratou i mea ai ki a ratou.

23 I korero ana a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

24 Ko te mea tenei ma nga Riwaiti; ka rua tekau ma rima o ratou tau, ka maha ake ranei, me tomo ratou ki te mahi i nga mahi o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga:

25 Ka maha ake o ratou tau i te rima tekau, me whakamutu ta ratou mahi i nga mahi o reira, kaua ano hoki he mahi ma ratou i muri iho:

26 Engari me minita tahi me o ratou tuakana i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me tiaki i nga mea e tiakina ana, kaua hoki e mahi i tetahi mahi. Ko tenei tau e mea ai ki nga Riwaiti, ina tiaki ratou.

Offerings at the Dedication of the Tabernacle

When Moses finished setting up the tabernacle,(A) he anointed(B) and consecrated it and all its furnishings.(C) He also anointed and consecrated the altar and all its utensils.(D) Then the leaders of Israel,(E) the heads of families who were the tribal leaders in charge of those who were counted,(F) made offerings. They brought as their gifts before the Lord six covered carts(G) and twelve oxen—an ox from each leader and a cart from every two. These they presented before the tabernacle.

The Lord said to Moses, “Accept these from them, that they may be used in the work at the tent of meeting. Give them to the Levites as each man’s work requires.”

So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites. He gave two carts and four oxen to the Gershonites,(H) as their work required, and he gave four carts and eight oxen to the Merarites,(I) as their work required. They were all under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest. But Moses did not give any to the Kohathites,(J) because they were to carry on their shoulders(K) the holy things, for which they were responsible.

10 When the altar was anointed,(L) the leaders brought their offerings for its dedication(M) and presented them before the altar. 11 For the Lord had said to Moses, “Each day one leader is to bring his offering for the dedication of the altar.”

79 His offering was one silver plate weighing a hundred and thirty shekels and one silver sprinkling bowl weighing seventy shekels, both according to the sanctuary shekel, each filled with the finest flour mixed with olive oil as a grain offering; 80 one gold dish weighing ten shekels, filled with incense; 81 one young bull, one ram and one male lamb a year old for a burnt offering; 82 one male goat for a sin offering; 83 and two oxen, five rams, five male goats and five male lambs a year old to be sacrificed as a fellowship offering. This was the offering of Ahira son of Enan.

84 These were the offerings of the Israelite leaders for the dedication of the altar when it was anointed:(AN) twelve silver plates, twelve silver sprinkling bowls(AO) and twelve gold dishes.(AP) 85 Each silver plate weighed a hundred and thirty shekels, and each sprinkling bowl seventy shekels. Altogether, the silver dishes weighed two thousand four hundred shekels,[e] according to the sanctuary shekel.(AQ) 86 The twelve gold dishes filled with incense weighed ten shekels each, according to the sanctuary shekel.(AR) Altogether, the gold dishes weighed a hundred and twenty shekels.[f] 87 The total number of animals for the burnt offering(AS) came to twelve young bulls, twelve rams and twelve male lambs a year old, together with their grain offering.(AT) Twelve male goats were used for the sin offering.(AU) 88 The total number of animals for the sacrifice of the fellowship offering(AV) came to twenty-four oxen, sixty rams, sixty male goats and sixty male lambs(AW) a year old. These were the offerings for the dedication of the altar after it was anointed.(AX)

89 When Moses entered the tent of meeting(AY) to speak with the Lord,(AZ) he heard the voice speaking to him from between the two cherubim above the atonement cover(BA) on the ark of the covenant law.(BB) In this way the Lord spoke to him.

Setting Up the Lamps

The Lord said to Moses, “Speak to Aaron and say to him, ‘When you set up the lamps, see that all seven light up the area in front of the lampstand.(BC)’”

Aaron did so; he set up the lamps so that they faced forward on the lampstand, just as the Lord commanded Moses. This is how the lampstand was made: It was made of hammered gold(BD)—from its base to its blossoms. The lampstand was made exactly like the pattern(BE) the Lord had shown Moses.

The Setting Apart of the Levites

The Lord said to Moses: “Take the Levites from among all the Israelites and make them ceremonially clean.(BF) To purify them, do this: Sprinkle the water of cleansing(BG) on them; then have them shave their whole bodies(BH) and wash their clothes.(BI) And so they will purify themselves.(BJ) Have them take a young bull with its grain offering of the finest flour mixed with olive oil;(BK) then you are to take a second young bull for a sin offering.[g](BL) Bring the Levites to the front of the tent of meeting(BM) and assemble the whole Israelite community.(BN) 10 You are to bring the Levites before the Lord, and the Israelites are to lay their hands on them.(BO) 11 Aaron is to present the Levites before the Lord as a wave offering(BP) from the Israelites, so that they may be ready to do the work of the Lord.

12 “Then the Levites are to lay their hands on the heads of the bulls,(BQ) using one for a sin offering(BR) to the Lord and the other for a burnt offering,(BS) to make atonement(BT) for the Levites. 13 Have the Levites stand in front of Aaron and his sons and then present them as a wave offering(BU) to the Lord. 14 In this way you are to set the Levites apart from the other Israelites, and the Levites will be mine.(BV)

15 “After you have purified the Levites and presented them as a wave offering,(BW) they are to come to do their work at the tent of meeting.(BX) 16 They are the Israelites who are to be given wholly to me. I have taken them as my own in place of the firstborn,(BY) the first male offspring(BZ) from every Israelite woman. 17 Every firstborn male in Israel, whether human or animal,(CA) is mine. When I struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, I set them apart for myself.(CB) 18 And I have taken the Levites in place of all the firstborn sons in Israel.(CC) 19 From among all the Israelites, I have given the Levites as gifts to Aaron and his sons(CD) to do the work at the tent of meeting on behalf of the Israelites(CE) and to make atonement for them(CF) so that no plague will strike the Israelites when they go near the sanctuary.”

20 Moses, Aaron and the whole Israelite community did with the Levites just as the Lord commanded Moses. 21 The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes.(CG) Then Aaron presented them as a wave offering before the Lord and made atonement(CH) for them to purify them.(CI) 22 After that, the Levites came to do their work(CJ) at the tent of meeting under the supervision of Aaron and his sons. They did with the Levites just as the Lord commanded Moses.

23 The Lord said to Moses, 24 “This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years old or more(CK) shall come to take part in the work at the tent of meeting,(CL) 25 but at the age of fifty,(CM) they must retire from their regular service and work no longer. 26 They may assist their brothers in performing their duties at the tent of meeting, but they themselves must not do the work.(CN) This, then, is how you are to assign the responsibilities of the Levites.”

21 I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Ko raro koia i te mehua whakatu ai i te rama, ina mauria mai, ko raro ranei i te moenga? he teka ianei me whakatu ki runga ki te turanga?

22 E kore hoki tetahi mea i huna e mahue te whakakite; kahore hoki tetahi mea i huna, engari kia puta ki te maramatanga.

23 Ki te mea he taringa o tetahi hei whakarongo, kia rongo ia.

24 I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Kia tupato ki ta koutou e rongo ai: ko te mehua hoki e mehua ai koutou, hei mehua ano tena ki a koutou: a ka tapiritia ano he mea ma koutou, ma nga kaiwhakarongo.

25 Ki te whai mea hoki tetahi, ka hoatu ano ki a ia: ki te kahore he mea a tetahi, ka tangohia i a ia ana ake.

26 I mea ano ia, I rite hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki te tangata i maka e ia he purapura ki te oneone;

27 A ka moe, ka ara, i te po, i te ao, me te tupu ano tera te purapura, te matau ia na te aha.

28 E hua ana hoki te whenua i tona kaha ake ano; ko te rau ki mua, ko reira te puku, muri iho ko te witi pakari i roto i te puku.

29 Otira ka rite nga hua, hohoro tonu tana tuku atu i tana toronaihi, kua taea hoki te kotinga.

30 I mea ano ia, Me whakarite e tatou te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki te aha? he aha oti te kupu whakarite hei whakaahua atu ma tatou?

31 E rite ana ki te pua nani, i tona whakatokanga ki te whenua, ko te iti rawa ia o nga purapura katoa i runga i te whenua:

32 Otira, ka oti te whakato, ka tupu, ka nui ake i nga otaota katoa, a ka nunui ona manga: no ka noho nga manu o te rangi i tona taumarumarutanga iho.

33 Na he maha ana kupu whakarite pera, i korerotia ai e ia te kupu ki a ratou, ko a ratou i ahei ai te whakarongo.

34 A heoi ana kupu ki a ratou he kupu whakarite anake: otiia ka noho ko ratou anake, ka whakaaturia e ia nga mea katoa ki ana akonga.

35 Na, i taua ra, i te ahiahi, ka mea ia ki a ratou, Tatou ka whakawhiti ki tawahi.

36 Na, ka mahue iho te mano, ka mauria ia e ratou, i runga tonu ano ia i te kaipuke. I a ia ano etahi atu kaipuke.

37 Na ko te putanga o tetahi hau, he tupuhi, a eke ana nga ngaru ki runga ki te kaipuke, a tomo noa.

38 Na ko ia i te kei i runga i te urunga e moe ana: a ka whakaara ratou i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, kahore ou manawapa ki a tatou ka ngaro?

39 Na ka ara ia, a riria iho e ia te hau, ka mea ia ki te moana, Kati, whakamutua. Na mariri tonu iho te hau, takoto ana he marino nui.

40 Katahi ia ka mea ki a ratou, He aha ta koutou e mataku nei? he aha koutou te whakapono ai?

41 Na ka mataku whakaharahara ratou, ka mea tetahi ki tetahi, Ko wai tenei, ina ka rongo rawa te hau me te moana ki a ia?

A Lamp on a Stand

21 He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand?(A) 22 For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open.(B) 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.”(C)

24 “Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued. “With the measure you use, it will be measured to you—and even more.(D) 25 Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.”(E)

The Parable of the Growing Seed

26 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like.(F) A man scatters seed on the ground. 27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28 All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. 29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”(G)

The Parable of the Mustard Seed(H)

30 Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like,(I) or what parable shall we use to describe it? 31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. 32 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.”

33 With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand.(J) 34 He did not say anything to them without using a parable.(K) But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.

Jesus Calms the Storm(L)

35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat.(M) There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”

39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.

40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”(N)

41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
