¹And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

¹¶ I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, i mea,

²This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, [and] upon which never came yoke.

²Ko te tikanga tenei o te ture i whakahaua e Ihowa; i mea ia, Korero ki nga tama a Iharaira kia tikina he kuao kau uha, he mea whero mau, hei te mea kahore he nawe, kahore he koa, a kahore ano hoki i utaina ki te ioka:

³And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:

³Me hoatu e koutou ki a Ereatara, tohunga, mana ia e kawe ki waho o te puni, me patu hoki e tetahi ki tona aroaro:

⁴and Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle her blood toward the front of the tent of meeting seven times.

⁴Na ka tango a Ereatara, tohunga, i tetahi wahi o ona toto ki tona maihao, kia whitu ana tauhiuhinga i ona toto ki te roro tonu o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga:

⁵And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:

⁵Na ma tetahi e tahu te kau i tana tirohanga atu: ko tona hiako, me ona kiko, me ona toto, me tahu tahi me tona paru:

⁶and the priest shall take cedar-wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.

⁶Na ka mau te tohunga ki te rakau hita, ki te hihopa, ki te mea ngangana, a ka maka e ia ki waenganui o te tahunga o te kau.

⁷Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even.

⁷Katahi ka horoi te tohunga i ona kakahu, ka horoi ano hoki i tona kiri ki te wai, a muri iho ka haere ki te puni, ka poke hoki te tohunga a ahiahi noa.

⁸And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.

⁸Me te kaitahu ano, me horoi ona kakahu ki te wai, me horoi ano tona kiri ki te wai, ka poke hoki ia a ahiahi noa.

⁹And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place; and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water for impurity: it is a sin-offering.

⁹A me amene nga pungarehu o te kau e tetahi tangata pokekore, a ka waiho i waho o te puni, i te wahi pokekore, ka tiaki ai mo te whakaminenga o nga tama a Iharaira hei wai wehenga; hei horohoro tena mo te hara.

¹⁰And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.

¹⁰Me horoi ano hoki ona kakahu e te kaiamene i nga pungarehu o te kau, ka poke hoki ia a ahiahi noa: me waiho ano tena hei tikanga tuturu ma nga tama a Iharaira, ma te manene hoki e noho manene ana i roto i a ratou.

¹¹He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days:

¹¹¶ Ki te pa tetahi ki te tinana mate o tetahi tangata, ka poke ia, e whitu nga ra.

¹²the same shall purify himself therewith on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.

¹²Me pure ia e ia ki taua wai i te toru o nga ra, a i te whitu o nga ra ka kore ona poke: otiia ki te kore ia e pure i a ia i te toru o nga ra, e kore ia e pokekore i te whitu o nga ra.

¹³Whosoever toucheth a dead person, the body of a man that hath died, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water for impurity was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.

¹³Ki te pa tetahi ki te tinana mate o tetahi tangata kua mate, a kahore e pure i a ia, e whakapokea ana e ia te tapenakara o Ihowa; ka hatepea taua wairua i roto i a Iharaira; no te mea kihai i tauhiuhia ki a ia te wai wehenga, ka poke ano ia; e m au ana ano ki a ia tona poke.

¹⁴This is the law when a man dieth in a tent: every one that cometh into the tent, and every one that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.

¹⁴Ko te ture tenei ina mate te tangata i roto i te teneti: ko nga tangata katoa e tomo ana ki te teneti, me nga tangata katoa i roto i te teneti, ka poke kia whitu nga ra.

¹⁵And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.

¹⁵Ko nga oko katoa ano e puare kau ana, kahore nei i herea te taupoki, ka poke.

¹⁶And whosoever in the open field toucheth one that is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.

¹⁶Ki te pa hoki tetahi ki te tangata i patua ki te hoari ki waenga parae, ki te tupapaku ranei, ki te whenua tangata ranei, ki te urupa ranei, ka poke ia kia whitu nga ra.

¹⁷And for the unclean they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin-offering; and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:

¹⁷Na, mo te tangata poke, me tiki e ratou etahi o nga pungarehu o te kau i tahunga hei horohoronga mo nga hara, ka riringi ai ki te wai ora, ki roto ano ki te oko:

¹⁸and a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the grave:

¹⁸Na ka mau tetahi tangata pokekore ki te hihopa, ka tuku ki te wai, na ka tauhiuhi i te teneti me nga oko katoa, i nga tangata ano hoki o reira, me te tangata i pa atu nei ki te whenua, ki te tangata ranei i patua, ki te tupapaku ranei, ki te uru pa ranei:

¹⁹and the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify him; and he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.

¹⁹Me tauhuihui ano hoki e te tangata pokekore te tangata poke i te toru o nga ra, i te whitu hoki o nga ra; a me pure ia e ia ano i te whitu o nga ra, ka horoi ai i ona kakahu, ka horoi ano hoki i a ia ki te wai, a i te ahiahi ka kore te poke.

²⁰But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of Jehovah: the water for impurity hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.

²⁰A ki te poke tetahi tangata, a kahore e pure i a ia, ka hatepea atu taua wairua i roto i te huihui, mona i whakapoke i te wahi tapu o Ihowa: kihai te wai o te wehenga i tauhiuhia ki a ia; he poke.

²¹And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them: and he that sprinkleth the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and he that toucheth the water for impurity shall be unclean until even.

²¹A hei tikanga tuturu tenei ma ratou, me horoi ona kakahu e te kaitauhiuhi o te wai wehenga; ka poke ano a ahiahi noa te tangata e pa ana ki te wai wehenga.

²²And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.

²²Ko poke ano nga mea katoa e pa ai te tangata poke; ka poke ano a ahiahi noa te wairua e pa ana.
