¹And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of acacia wood shalt thou make it.

¹¶ A me hanga e koe he aata hei tahunga mea kakara: ko te rakau e hanga ai he hitimi.

²A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be; and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of one piece with it.

²Kia kotahi whatianga te roa, kia kotahi hoki whatianga te whanui; kia tapawha: kia rua whatianga te teitei: no taua mea ra ano nga haona.

³And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about.

³Me whakakikorua ki te koura parakore a runga me ona taha a taka noa, me ona haona hoki; me hanga ano te niao koura a tawhio noa.

⁴And two golden rings shalt thou make for it under the crown thereof; upon the two ribs thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make them; and they shall be for places for staves wherewith to bear it.

⁴Me hanga ano etahi mowhiti koura mona kia rua, mo raro i tona niao, ki ona koki e rua, me hanga ki ona taha e rua, hei kuhunga mo nga amo, hei amohanga.

⁵And thou shalt make the staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.

⁵He hitimi ano hoki te rakau e hanga ai e koe nga amo, me whakakikorua ki te koura.

⁶And thou shalt put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy-seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.

⁶Ka whakatu ai ki mua o te arai, o tera i te aaka o te whakaaturanga, ki mua o te taupoki i runga o te whakaaturanga, o te wahi e tutaki ai ahau ki a koe.

⁷And Aaron shall burn thereon incense of sweet spices: every morning, when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn it.

⁷A me tahu e Arona he whakakakara reka ki runga, i tenei ata, i tenei ata: me tahu e ia te whakakakara ki runga, ina whakapaia e ia nga rama.

⁸And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Jehovah throughout your generations.

⁸A ka tahuna e Arona nga rama i te ahiahi, me tahu he whakakakara ki runga i taua aata, he whakakakara e mau tonu ana ki te aroaro o Ihowa i o koutou whakatupuranga.

⁹Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt-offering, nor meal-offering; and ye shall pour no drink-offering thereon.

⁹Kei whakaekea he whakakakara ke ki runga, he tahunga tinana ranei, he whakahere totokore ranei; kaua ano e ringihia he ringihanga ki runga.

¹⁰And Aaron shall make atonement upon the horns of it once in the year; with the blood of the sin-offering of atonement once in the year shall he make atonement for it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto Jehovah.

¹⁰Na, ka whakamarie a Arona ki runga ki ona haona, kia kotahi te meatanga i te tau: ka whakamarie ia ki te toto o te whakahere hara o te whakamarie ki runga ki taua mea, kia kotahi te meatanga i te tau, puta noa i o koutou whakatupuranga: he mea t apu rawa tena ki a Ihowa.

¹¹And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

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

¹²When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel, according to those that are numbered of them, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto Jehovah, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.

¹²E taua e koe nga tangata o nga tama a Iharaira, ara nga mea o ratou e taua ana, me homai e tera, e tera, he utu mo tona wairua ki a Ihowa, ina taua ratou; kia kore ai he whiu i roto i a ratou ina taua.

¹³This they shall give, every one that passeth over unto them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary; (the shekel is twenty gerahs;) half a shekel for an offering to Jehovah.

¹³Ko tenei ta ratou e homai ai, ko nga tangata katoa e haere ana ki roto ki te hunga kua taua, hei te hawhe o te hekere, o te hekere o te wahi hekere kotahi: hei te hawhe hekere te whakahere ki a Ihowa.

¹⁴Every one that passeth over unto them that are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering of Jehovah.

¹⁴Ko nga tangata katoa e haere ana ki roto ki te hunga kua taua, ko nga mea e rua tekau o ratou tau, me nga mea i maha atu, me homai e ratou he whakahere ki a Ihowa.

¹⁵The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.

¹⁵E kore e maha ake a te tangata taonga, e kore ano hoki e torutoru iho i te hawhe hekere a te rawakore, ina homai he whakahere ki a Ihowa, hei whakamarie mo o koutou wairua.

¹⁶And thou shalt take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tent of meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.

¹⁶Na me tango e koe te moni whakamarie a nga tama a Iharaira, a ka waiho mo nga mahi o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga; a hei whakamahara tena ki nga tama a Iharaira ki te aroaro o Ihowa, hei whakamarie mo o koutou wairua.

¹⁷And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

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

¹⁸Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, whereat to wash. And thou shalt put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.

¹⁸Me hanga ano e koe he takotoranga wai ki te parahi, ki te parahi ano hoki tona turanga, hei horoinga: ka whakatu ai ki te takiwa o te aata o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me riringi ano he wai ki roto.

¹⁹And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:

¹⁹A me horoi o ratou ringa me o ratou waewae e Arona ratou ko ana tama ki reira.

²⁰when they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.

²⁰Ka haere ratou ki roto ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me horoi ratou ki te wai, kei mate; ki te whakatata ranei ratou ki te aata ki te minita, ki te tahu i te whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa:

²¹So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.

²¹Na ka horoi i o ratou ringa, i o ratou waewae, kei mate; a ka waiho hei tikanga pumau ma ratou, mana, ma ona uri, i o ratou whakatupuranga.

²²Moreover Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

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

²³Take thou also unto thee the chief spices: of flowing myrrh five hundred [shekels], and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty,

²³Tikina mau he tino mea kakara, he maira pai, kia rima rau hekere, he hinamona reka, me hawhe tera, ara kia rua rau kia rima tekau hekere, me te karamuha reka, kia rua rau kia rima tekau hekere,

²⁴and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin.

²⁴He kahia hoki, kia rima rau hekere, ki nga hekere o te wahi tapu, me te hinu oriwa, kia kotahi hine:

²⁵And thou shalt make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.

²⁵A me hanga e koe hei hinu mo te whakawahinga tapu, he hinu whakaranu, he mea kakara, ko ta te kaiwhakaranu e hanga ai: ka waiho hei hinu mo te whakawahinga tapu:

²⁶And thou shalt anoint therewith the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony,

²⁶Ka whakawahia ai te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, me te aaka hoki o te whakaaturanga,

²⁷and the table and all the vessels thereof, and the candlestick and the vessels thereof, and the altar of incense,

²⁷Me te tepu, me nga oko katoa i runga, me te turanga rama, me ona oko, me te aata whakakakara,

²⁸and the altar of burnt-offering with all the vessels thereof, and the laver and the base thereof.

²⁸Me te aata tahunga tinana, me ona oko katoa, me te takotoranga wai, me tona turanga.

²⁹And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.

²⁹A me whakatapu kia tino tapu: ka tapu nga mea katoa e pa ana ki aua mea.

³⁰And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.

³⁰Me whakawahi ano e koe a Arona ratou ko ana tama, me whakatapu hoki ratou hei tohunga maku.

³¹And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be a holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.

³¹Me korero ano e koe ki nga tama a Iharaira, me ki atu, Hei hinu tenei maku, mo te whakawahinga tapu i o koutou whakatupuranga.

³²Upon the flesh of man shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any like it, according to the composition thereof: it is holy, [and] it shall be holy unto you.

³²Kei ringihia ki te kikokiko tangata, kei hanga ano tetahi mea pena, e rite ana ki tona hanganga: he tapu tena, a ka tapu ki a koutou.

³³Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.

³³Ki te whakaranua e te tangata tetahi mea pena; ki te maka ranei e ia ki runga ki te tangata ke, ina, ka hatepea atu ia i roto i tona iwi.

³⁴And Jehovah said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight;

³⁴I mea ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Tikina mau he mea kakara, he takete, he oneka, he karapanuma; enei mea kakara me te parakihe parakore; kia rite te taimaha o tetahi, o tetahi:

³⁵and thou shalt make of it incense, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure [and] holy:

³⁵Ka whakaranu ai hei mea kakara, ko ta te kaiwhakaranu e hanga ai, he mea rongoa ki te tote, he mea parakore, he mea tapu:

³⁶and thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.

³⁶Na ka tukia tetahi wahi kia ririki rawa, ka whakatakoto ai i tetahi wahi ki mua mai o te whakaaturanga i roto i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ki te wahi e tutaki ai ahau ki a koe: hei mea tino tapu tena ki a koutou.

³⁷And the incense which thou shalt make, according to the composition thereof ye shall not make for yourselves: it shall be unto thee holy for Jehovah.

³⁷A ko taua mea kakara ka hanga nei e koe, kei hanga tetahi ma koutou he rite te hanganga ki to tera: hei mea tapu tena ki a koe ma Ihowa.

³⁸Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereof, he shall be cut off from his people.

³⁸Ki te hanga e te tangata he mea pena, hei honginga mana, ka hatepea atu ia i roto i tona iwi.
